Saturday, November I, 1924. V „ IN FAST GAME m (By EMILY BOYD) Griffin High defeated Newnan High, 3-p, at Lee Park in New nan Friday afternoon in one of the most hotly contested game of the 1924 season. Both teams fought hard and played a clean game but the visit ors were a little too much for Newnan. Time and again each team threatened to score a touch down but the opposing line tight ened and the ball went over on downs. * The last quarter was mostly played in Griffin's territory and Newnan made their most deter mined drive of the day, but lack ed the punch to put it over, as Griffin’s line was holding. The game ended with the ball in the visitor’s possession on their own 25 yard line. Homer Key Star. 2 Homer Key was the outstanding star fpr Griffin. His $0 yafd run from scrimmage was the feature of the game. He scored d field goal late in the second quar " to; for the only points of the , giitie. His deftensivb play waa exr cellent, as time and again he threw a runner who seemed about to get away for, a long gain. , Hunkey” Jones, end, and “Spi vis” Rogers, center, played thdfr WILL HE ABOLISH WAR IN WORLD? * 1 •J: 1 Will this man bring peace to the world?

He could see something white and sprawling the Toad, In partly outline, In lying partly in the grass. He scrambled from his rickety seat, and limped forward, then bent with a startled cry over the form of a girl. fatntSd. i She’s trying to get some water at the spring!” he muttered. “But what’s she doing way op here like this alone?” He hurried to the spring, wet his handkerchief and bathed her temples.

Cat into the wagon an’ I'll give ye a her lift,” he said gently, waiting for to pally. He guided her to a comfortable seat beside him, and they started on, and into a mystery he felt would deepen. She was nothing more than a girl, but his cautious questioning hints as to how she happened where he found her drew no reply Other than a low, “I was pretty tired, and I tried to walk up from the river; and It was so warm I—I feinted, I He aooa made ap his mind that she Uraa terribly worried about bot he made bead way In finding oat until they drew £ — .-■.^1 gg “I went to go to Mr. Newton’s,” she SMweied doubtfully. He started. “Why, that's 'way up on the Oxhob road—miles from here r * , He heard her catch breath In ,a low sob. and his old heart w a r m e d to her. “Now, look here, you're all tired out. I’ll leave the mall, and you come home with me.

He and the girl then made way with Mother Tate's pleasing sup per. He conld see that she Was desperately hungry and as desper ately tired. Afterwards; he turned her over to his wife, and went to the bam to look after his horses. The next morning, early, he called Newton on the telephone, and Newton answered coldly after he heard the newa “I know who she is; she’s the girl my Uncle Bert adopted. He died last week. We didn’t have anything to do with him, and we didn’t want anything to do with her! Tell her so I" Bang went- the receiver. “Uncle” Tate stared at the ’phone. “I see—1 see—well, yon don’t have to have her, by gum!" Before the girl came down, he told the news to the wife. sdA she agreed to break It to the girl. When he came In for breakfast, he found that peace had come, al though the frail, pretty girt who looked at him with tender eyes showed that she was suffering. “She’ll stay with us, Jasper, to help me, until she’s stronger," his wife said, smiling. “Her name is Ruth—the name of our girl.” A week went by, and she seemed to grow more frail. “Too much on her mind,” the old man thought The plan that popped into Jas per’s head he put into prompt ex ecutlon. He drove to the village store, called the pleasant-faced young owner out back. He told Ruth’s story, then said, “Now, Bob, come over, see If you can’t cheer her up. You’re a pretty good-lookin’ lad. an’ a fine one, too. Twon't do any harm If you make a little love to her—jest friendly like, you see." <« Sure, I’ll try to cheer her Uncle,” Bob up. agreed readily. Uncle Tate was away during the day, but he followed the experiment with keen Interest. Bob called for her In hl« car, took her with him on trips; and Jasper saw a new in terest take hold In her life Her dark eyes brightened, a little color crept into her cheeks. One evening, as he drove into the yard after his long trip, he glanced through the window Into the kitchen, Bob had* Ruth In his arms and was kissing her. He hitched his team and hurried in. His chance was ready. He faced Boby’s happy, clean-cut face. “Now, look here. Bob, when I asked you to come over and be good to her—and make a little harmless love to her—I didn’t mean to play with her—fool her I I just saw you kissln’ her; an’ It’s a low down trick!” Jasper said with heat. Bob’s face went from astonish ment, stark and staring, to a slow smile, He said gently. “Uncle. I started out as you said; but It’s different now. I love her.” he add ed quietly. “I Just told her, and she’s gone up to gat Mother Tate and Yell her, and we were going to spring it on you I" Then In the doorway appeared Mother Tate, her arm over Ruth’s shriulder. Mother Tate’s eyes were shining with happiness, and the girl’ Jasper took one look, and then he thought to himqelf: “I guess that’s the way they look when the long parted meet In Paradise!” <Copjrlght.j charge.
