This is the last of two articles on the life and hockey works of one of the great figures of the game, Captain James T. Suther- land, founder of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Whether the ancient city of Kingston waa the scene of the first organized hockey ever played in Canada, this writer is not prepared to say. But there is little doubt biSt that one of the first organized hockey leagues of all time was that which, in 1868, engaged four teams, in the ancient Limestone City, including Queen's d.Jniversity and Royal Military College, a league that played its games on an outdoor rink surrounded by a low fence, with the spectators seated atop the great banks of'snow piled around the playing surface. It was after this that Queen's University erected on of the earlier indoor rinks in Canada. The City of Kingston then organized a team called the Frontenacs hi honor of Count Frontenace, whose name the city originally bore. Jim Sutherland was selected as manager of the team and the records show that. the Frontenacs wrote some of hockey's brightest pages down the years. Their great- est glory came when the juniors won the O.H.A. championship in 1911 and established scoring records that have never been even remotely approached. Yes, indeed those Frontenacs were a mighty force 41 years ago. ith Jim Sutherland at the helm, they filled enemy nets with rubber and racked up as many as sz goals in one game. Their combination attacks have never been surpassed, if equal. led, and the greatest of them all was gallant Allan "Scotty" Davidson, who later deserted professional hockey to enlist in the Canadian armed forces. of World War I, and gave up his life in Flanders Field. Jim Sutherland also rearehed away to war in 1916, the year that he became president of the Canadian Amateur Hoc- key Association. He was then in his 46th year, but the will to serve was inherited from his Scottish ancestors and nothing could have deterred him from following that path of duty. And he did serve so well that he was recommended for the Order of the British Empire. Hockey did not seem to be the same in Kingston with Jim Sutherland 'stick-handling' against the Germans on the Western Front, but it staged a remarkable recovery after he returned, Kingston then celebrated in a championship setting when the Frontenacs captured the O.H.A. intermediate title in 1919, with none other than the mighty Bill Cook, who became a star in the Western League and later with New York Rangers, the outstanding star of the series. Mr.. Sutherland, having _planted the seed, now eagerly awaits that day when the International Hockey Hail of Fame Will rise in all majesty in Kingston, When this has been ac- complished it should be written high upon the walls that "unto this man who saw and believed, must go the accolade for tenacity in following a star on which no sun will ever go down."

Jack seized the girl and prac- tically threw her into e corner, They crouched down, heads bent, Now his arms were fast about her as he tried to shield her body with his own. He was holding her in a close embrace, so close that her smooth cheek brushed his as she buried her head in the hollow' of his shoulder. Her cap had fallen off and over her dark curls Graydon could see the pony's brown legs steaming with white lather, "Listen!" Barbara's voice was a low whisper. The roar of the engines seemed less distinct. Then came the 'woomph woomph - woompli whoomph' of an anti-aircraft gun, followed by a staccato burst of fire. There was another loud ex- plosion, farther off this time. Then the sound of a great splash- ing of water. ' "A water-main!" Jack gasped. "Uh. Uh. That one fell in the sea. They're driving him off." There was a second resounding splash like a giant cascade of tumbling water. Clasping the girl so close to him that he could feel the rise and fall of her firm young breasts against him and could almost sense the beat of her heart, Jack was conscious only of a feeling of exquisite joy. "Barbara — darling!" he breath- ed. Trembling, she snuggled in his arms. She sighed deeply. For an age-long moment she lay there, motionless. When at last she stir- red he released her ever so slow- ly, as if Toth to let her go, Their eyes met. He saw that she was deathly pale. Then a half-smile hovered over her lips. "It's over now," she whispered. "Ginger seems to be all right. I'll have another cig if you don't mind." With quivering fingers Gray- don tore clumsily at an unopened package. His breath was coming in short, sharp gasps. His eyes were riveted on the girl's face. His arms were stabbed with an ache that would never be assuag- ed until he held her close to him again—never, never to let her go. But with clenched teeth and com- pressed lips he rose slowly to his feet and, as he helped her to rise, he noticed that her cheeks were flushed and her eyes veiled behind those long, long lashes. How long they stood thus in the half-darkness of the stable, speechless, motionless, J a e k Graydon will never know. It may have been half an hour; then the 'All Clear' sounded and there ' was the scuffle of running feet in the lane outside. "I could hear that all right," he said, in what he hoped was a normal tone. "Funny I didn't hear the siren.

During their brisk walk back to the 'Crown' stables she barely spoke, offering no explanation for her hasty departure. As he was 'untying the pony's halter he turn- ed to her questioningly. "You were going to tell me why—" he began, then stopped abruptly. have!" She nodded. "Ginger's ears are sharper than ours, But some- times there's no warning. The sneak-raiders.come in too low for the R D F to pick them up. I wonder if anything was hit?" They led the pony through the stable-yard out into the street. Groups of people were now coin- ing from behind shielded door- ways or climbing from shelters us go about their normal business. No damage could be seen, no sign of fire, but there was a strong odor of explosive mingled with that of fresh-turned earth. Not until they were driving away did Barbara, glancing down a side lane, clutch Jack's arm and point excitedly, There, In the very centre of an expanse of smooth lawn, et new mound of earth was heaped around a great gaping cavity. "The bowling-green!" she ex- claimed. "Poor old Jacobs! He'd rather have lost the pub itself, The Shanklin Bowlers have play- ed their last game for a long time. But let's get on home. We aren't needed here and we'll only be in the way." Barbara chose a route out of Shanklin different from that On which they had entered the town and the pony trotted along a side- street for some blocks until they arrived at the corner where they I had been held up by the route- marching Toronto Scottish. Here the girl stopped again, this time in front of a military outfitter's shop, Left to himself again, Jack slumped in his seat, drew his forage cap down so far That the peak was almost resting on the rim of his glasses. There Was no place in all Shanklin, he, told himself grimly, where he would be more likely to encounter a Canadian soldier, He did not know that the Toronto battalion had pitched its tents a good five miles away on the Downs and as a result of that unblissful ignor- ance he kept casting nervous glances to and fro, fearful lest he might see some khaki-clad figure with tunic marked by that all- too-familiar shoulder-patch. it was in this compromising pose that Barbara found him on her return. "What on earth's the matter with you, Clarry?" she exclaim- ed. "You look like a fugitive from justice." Jack's lame excuse was that the sun bothered his eyes. "What sun?" she demanded, for the afternoon sky was °veto cast. "Most boys from the Mid- dle East grumble because there isn't any sun in England." Her eyes narrowed and she gave him a searching look. "We'll go home by way o it(hof Aylbourne lane," she added as she took up the reins. And, as they were climbing the hill out of the town to turn into the road RCAF PERSONALS Contributions to this If:SOIAIPM are welcomed. Any pereonel Item of news may be phoned to' Kra 4.

White, Hayfield, are posted to MacDonald, Winnipeg, and left for there early Wednesday morning, In The Air Force Along a peaceful countryside road in Northern France last week, a French delivery truck was sauntering to the village of Hem- mering on a delivery run, The driver• was humming a pleasant French ballad and was in good spirits. He was unaware however, that the truck he was driving was on fire. In the opposite direction an RCAF station wagon from Grost- enquin came cruising along on a routine run to a nearby village. As the two trucks met, the station wagon came to a quick stop, made a screeching U-turn, and then rac- ed off to stop the flaming French vehicle. The two airmen occupants made quick plans for action—Leading Aircraftsman John Hubner would stay with the station wagon to get a fire fighting crew from the Grostenquin base while Leading Aircraftsman Raymond Albert would get out immediately and she designated, she added: "Don't tell them at home where we were when it happened—in the stable, I mean. They'll only worry." Graydon nodded silent assent. He hardly dared trust himself to speak, nor even to look at his companion save to steal a surrep- titious glance when her attention was fixed on the business of driv- ing. Two thoughts ran through his mind: one a vague fear that Barbara's suspicions had been aroused and the other a fantastic idea he was powerless to express. There was a new tenseness be- tween them as if the atmosphere were electrically charged. Half a mile out of town, down a secluded lane bordered on both sides by a tall hedge which al- most completely hid their trap from view, Barbara drew the pony to a stop. "We can talk here," she said. "Now I'll tell you why we hurried out of Colson's." (To be continued) How"Skinny"Girls Get Lovely Curves Gain 5 to 10 lbs.

LAC Albert, a motor transport Copyright eees What was the matter with the horse? Ginger's ears had pricked up sharply. His nostrils dilated, His eyes rolled till they showed the whites. He stood rooted to the spot, terrified, quaking in every limb. Not until then did Graydon hear a faint, far-offhtinn No, it was not faint! Not far off! It drew nearer and nearer every instant. Now it swelled to a full roar, A raider! "Barbara! The shelter quick!" Heedless of his cry of warning, she stepped to the pony's head and began to pat a neck that was clamp with sweat, She was talk- ing in a coaxing, wheedling tone, "There, there, Ginger! Steady! It's all right, Ginger! I'm here." The animal gave a shrill fright- ened whinny. And, in the same instant, as if it were a bolt of lightning, a blinding flash shot past the opened upper half of the stable-door. Followed an ear- splitting detonation. The stone walls swayed like canvas in a driver from St. Johns, 1.1j3., not familiar with French automobile engines, asked the French driver what that peculiar looking tank was in the engine. Praising Al- bert's heroics, the French driver awkwardly told him that the ' peculiar looking tank was the gaff tank—and could have blown ,hini and the car to einitherities.
