StNicholas [serial] . edo, and whether aught of hisstrength also has been saved And now amad shout from the crowded seats of theAthenians roars forth across the stadium asthey see Phaedo in the lead at the very ! Athene! they shout. PallasAthenegives us the race! The cheers of the littlegroup of Galatians are swallowed up in thegreat cry, but Ladas needs no applause tonerve him on. Now, at the very last, thewan, beautiful face of his mother is beforehim, and he remembers the two, lonely athome, waiting, waiting for the outcome of thisday, for their glory or for their shame. Al-ready the goal is scarce three strides away,and Phaedo laughs with triumph, when sud-denly the face of Ladas shoots up even withhis. For an instant, that seems hours ofstruggling, the two waver side by side, andthen with a last desperate effort the boy ofGalatia draws ahead and touches the goal-slab,even while the foot of the Athenian hangsabove it. With the mighty shout of an assembled worldbegins the Olympiad of OLYMPIA TO-DAY. SNOW-PLOWS* By George E. Walsh.
