Filmore Durand glanced from one to another of the three in quick succession, stroked his rather bristly moustache, and lit a cigarette, not because he wanted to smoke, but because he could not help it, which is a very different thing.
The Dore family seems to go back about as far as the presidency of Willard Filmore, and then it kind of gets discouraged and quite cold. Gee! I'd like to feel that my great-great-great-grandmother had helped Queen Elizabeth with the rent. I'm strong for the fine old stately families of England." "Stately old fiddlesticks!" snapped the earl. "Did you see his eyes flash then, George?
Now, the play was swift and brilliant. Dick got the ball around the left end once, and afterwards assisted Dave to put it through the hostile line. With the third play Dick carried the pigskin barely across Filmore's goal line and scored a touchdown. Darrin immediately after made a kick for goal. The score now stood eight to six for Filmore but only ten minutes of playing time remained.
Yet Filmore, too, had her hosts of boosters here today, and their yells all but drowned out the spirited music. "Here come our boys! Gridley! Gridley! Gridley! Wow-ow-ow!" "Hurrah!" Then the home boosters, who had read Drayne's name on the score card took another look at their cards -next rubbed their eyes. "Prescott at left end!" yelled one frenzied booster. "Whoop!"
A new metrical translation, by Lewis Filmore. Pride and Prejudice, And Sense and Sensibility. By Miss Austen, complete in one volume, with an illustration by Gilbert. Foolscap 8vo., with gilt back, 2s. 6d. "Miss Austen's knowledge of the world, and the peculiar tact with which she presents characters, the reader cannot fail to recognize.
Drayne, with his headgear pulled down over his eyes, and skulking out beside the grand stand, soon began to feel a savage satisfaction. Something must be ailing the left end man after all, for Dick did not seem able to get through the Filmore line with his usual brilliant tactics. Instead, after ten minutes of furious play, Filmore forced Gridley to make a safety.
Dot's all right, too," retorted the German. "Battles haf been won in less than eight minutes. Read history!" In two plays Captain Wadleigh had succeeded in advancing the pigskin less than two yards down the Filmore territory.
But now hats were thrown up in the air, and frantic yells resounded when it was discovered that Dick had the ball again, and that Darrin, Hudson, Wadleigh, quarter and left half were fighting valiantly to push him through the stubborn, panting line of Filmore High School. It was a splendid fight, but a losing one.
Then again the ball was forced down toward Gridley's goal line, and at last pushed over. Gridley hearts, over on the grand stand and bleacher seats, were beating with painful rapidity. What ailed the home boys? Or were the Filmore youths, as they themselves fondly imagined, the gridiron stars of the school world! Filmore, like Gridley, had a record of no defeats so far this season.
"I have been studying the lives of your presidents," he said, "and really, how can one expect them to get good results with no training for their work and only a few years in office? Take men like Johnson, Tyler, Polk, Hayes, Buchanan, Pierce, Filmore, Harrison, McKinley. Mediocre figures, are they not? What do they stand for?" "What does the average king or emperor stand for?"
