the hall carpet, Nose Fitz Allen was gone.
CHAPTER III.
Prominent among the immense crowd as
semblsd on the grounds is the pale face of
Amelia Bangs. The Moth Eradicators are at
the bat on the last half of the ninth inning,
with two men out and one man on the tn ird
and the score stands 50 to So. Twill that man
get in?" is the GREATNESS question which per-
vades the scene. Moses Fitz Allen, standing
on first base, mutters, Nov for revenge! Now
do give the thing away! Ahp' and his face
was distorted with passion like mud-ball dried
in the sun, 'Two strikesr' yells the umpire.
The batter must hit it next time. He does bit
it,tand fly mounts and descends beautifully
to Nose, Take it, Mose," goes out from the
throat of Banker Bangs and hundreds of bis
friends. '.Not if Nose is thoroughly ac
quainted with himself" is his low response,
and the ball passes through his hands aud the
man on the third goes home. Score 81 to SO.
