THE NATIONAL GAME.

There is but one way to account for the Mutual

apparent that the Mutuals, If they could keep the
Forest City lads down to inneld hitting and do but
the game must be recorded In their favor This they
did in the first respect from the first,
but only awOke to the necessity OF doing
the second also when half the game had

the more 50 by peculiar attitude or pose assumed
just previous to the final SWING 1t Is possible that

and their attention no longer divided, they paid Mr.
Spauldng OF by Knocking all the grace out OF him,
and attitudes and poses were left for the
next OCCASION The reputation preceding the Forest
City boys was. to say the truth, greater
than they can MAINTAIN. Let 1t not be understood,

himself up from his perilous task, and
stood calmly near it to await the catas-
trophe.
But his movements had been noticed
by one of the Indians, who being act
uated by the characteristic curiosity
which at times overpowers every other
feeling in the savage breast, leaned over
the counter and saw the candle burning
brightly in the keg of powder. Not a
sound escaped him, but with wonder
ing glance at the pale and intrepid mer-
chant, he walked rapidly and silently out
Of the store. His sudden exit attracted
the attention of another warrior who al
so peered cautiously over the counter
saw the danger and stalked out of the
door as silently as the first. A third, Il
fourth, and all successfully each for
himself, saw the impending catastrophe,
and passed out without utteriug a word.
AS the last one left the store, astonished
at the stolid bravery of the pale-face, the
merchant followed him to the door, and
hastily closed it, fastening it securely
Then, carefully approaching the keg of
powder, he lifted out the candle in the
guarded manner in which he placed it
there, and felt that he was saved.
And he was saved. The daring alter
native which he had chosen assured the
Indians that he was no triAer, and pro-
duced revulsion of feeling in his favor
that led to a friendly arrangement of the
difficulty which had estranged them from
him.
Mr.. Farnsworth remained among them,
was married to one Of their number
and at the time Of his death still resided
