Standing of the Clubs.

But for the rain yesterday afternoon,
after two innings OF the game had been

The Duchess of Mar1boroupb

The Duchess OF Marlborough, being young
and enthusiastic, is eagerly sought after
by the promoters of charitable entertain
ments who have failed TO secure the pres
ence of even the smallest royalty at their
fetes. The women who crowd the bazaars
and such-like Joyous meetings have read
so many newspaper paragraphs about her
transatlantic grace that they are almost
as anxious to see her as III she were a
German princess distantly related to the
queen; and they come in dozens to
crafty their curiosity. The duchess was
nearly paying for her good nature one day
last week. On her way from the station
to open "A bazaar at Oxford in aid of tile
Church Army Labor Home, the horses in
her carriage slipped on the granite In Queen
street and both came down together For
tunately, however, no harm was done
to the occupants, and the duchess was able
to perform the kind office for which she
had come to- the town.-Vanity Fair.

The saddle question is one that is still
much discussed. A very knowing wheel
woman, in talking on the subject recently,
said: Saddle is everything in a womans
riding, and no time in studying its proper
adjustment should be considered wasted.
If she will think moment, she will see
that the saddle tilted up in front robs her
leg mucles of a certain strength If it is
straight, she is not depriving her muscles,
but not aiding them. But tilt the saddle
up the back and down in front, that it
may act as hacker TO the body which is
pushed against it, and the pedal movement
is vastly helped. If II womaD will try this
on long ride. or especially trip over
rolling country, she Will quickly see its adj
vantage. If you want to push anything
very vigorously with your feet, You find a
strong substance that You may back
against and put more energy in the leg
movement. Use your saddle us this back.

Tom Butler is phenome nal rider. This
youngster demonstrated his superiority
SO easily over E. C. Bald at Saratoga that
1t left no doubt in the minds OF the specta-
tors that he will prove one of the candi-
dates for championship honors before the
season draws to a close. Butler was an
amateur last season, but this year the
orange streak has shot out from the bunch
on SO many occasions, to flash over the tape
winner ahead of the so-called champions
that some surprise is manifested that he
had not been heard OF before. Butler rides
an S0-sear, and this is quite marvellous,
considering the diminutive appearance Of
the whirlwind. 1t is said that should he
meet Bald, Cooper, Zeigler, and Gardiner
on the national circuit he Will have little
difficulty In proving that he is capable
of staying with the best of them.

Every bicycle rider should know the de.
tails OF his machine. In the haste TO try
a new bicycle, hundreds of people have
one sent home without waiting for it to be
properly put together by the bicycle deal
er. They unpack tile machine from the
crate and begin the comparatively easy
task OF setting it up 1t is a good guess
that the nuts will be turned wrong, the
threads on the bolts will get a good rub
bing, and every part of the wheel will be
oiled, from the handle bar to the lamp
bracket. The chain may be too loose and
1t may be too tight, and the unhappy rider
finally will eud by taking the bicycle to
some repairer and paying 81 for fifteen
minutes of work. If the dealer had been
consulted before the machine left the store
much OF this annoyance might have been
avoided.

woman, dressed in a fresh pink gown;
she had laughing blue eyes and pleas

But the face grew pale and the girl
started back nervously.
"Anna!'' said the herder, in voice
which told of deep emotion.
"Jason!" Her words were as strange
ly spoken.
For a moment neither said more;
then the herder went on:
"Why are you out here?''
''Why shouldn't I be? We couldn't

Eyes, and I'm to have hag-raising.
You must make a speech. Don't you re-

Remember it! 1t was burned into his
mind, and along with it was the recoi-
lection of long rides homeward with
this same woman who stood before him
then a schoolgirl for whose favors he
had striven and in whose good graces
he had a formidable rival in Harlan.
The herder kicked impatient1y at the
sunburned grass.
Anna Leland watched him closely and
noted the change made by the passing
years in her old-time admirer, and she
wondered if he still thought of her as
he did then.
Suddenly a shout took them to the
side OF the schoolhouse. The herd was

saw, besides the hurrying herders, a
stranger in a light suit riding fast in
front. of the herd.
''That," spoke the girl, sis Harlan"
Jason strained his eyes, gazing at
the man. Then he turned to watch his
companion jealousy. Did she feel IN
interest in Harlan? He could not tell.
Then something happened. In an in
slant, the twinkling of an eye, the horse
Harlan was riding gave lurch and fell
headlong, his rider partly under it.
Coolly Jason watched them. The horse
was evidently hurt, for it did not rise
neither did the man, though he freed
himself from the saddle.
But why need Harlan rise-a dozen
rods away came the wave of flesh which
was to make of himself and horse an in
distinguishable mass hammered into
the sod by thousands of hoofs.
Jason knew this and he felt conscience
stricken that his heart contemplate ed
'he catastrope rather gladly than other
wise. What could he do anyway?
That he could do something was evi-

Faster and faster until the pony
fairly flew over the level sod, but the

who lay on the ground looked pitifu1ly
at the destroyers. The crowd of spec

interested and excited and wondered
what the outcome was to be.

A Prophetic utterance.

In one of Adams supposed speeches
he gives utterance to this prophetic
sentiment: Whatever may be our fate,
be assured that this declaration will
stand. 1t may cost treasure and it may
cost blood, but it will stand and it will
richly compensate for both. Through
the thick gloom of the present L see the
brightness of the future as the sun in
heaven. We shall make this a glorious,
an immortal day. When we are in our
graves our children will honor it. They
will celebrate 1T with thanksgiving,w with
festivities, with bonfires and illumina-
tions. On fits annual return they will

ultation, of gratitude and of joy"

pony On which he was mounted could
unseat him. He was not in timeFto see
the schoOl-teacher, for she had gone
inside the building.
Before he reached the steps another
matter of interest had attracted atten-
ton. Off to the south, already so near
at hand as to surprise all that it had not
been noticed before, was a cloud of
dust. 1t was many rods wide and
reached in long irregular line up from

the storekeeper. ''That's the herd from
the ranches we've been 1ookin' for, an
it amt mile away
Silently they gazed. Then, as if a
commander had come out of the midst
of an army, a single horseman was dis
tinguishable in front of the wall of
dust and was evidently advancing on
the schoolhouse group, gaining rapidly
on the herd. now visible, Flooding along
behind.
Its the boss herder, comm in to pick
a camp" remarked Graham.
He was right.
In few minutes wide-hatted, hand
some cowboy dashed up and dismount-
ed, his big spurs jingling merrily as he
walked.
'Well,' he began, with light smile
breaking over his naturally stern fea-
lures, ''are you here to give me recep-
tion?''
Hardly" said Graham, coming for
ward; 1--WE didn't expect you quite

Were here. just the same, and the
cattle are coming fast, too. They're
anxious.'
He was right. The herd had advanced
very fast and the settlers were all on
the opposite side of the schoo1house
watching the approach.
AS the herder stood there beside the
steps, with the bride reins hanging
loosely to his arm, suddenly came n
vision in the doorway. 1t was a young

coming and the younger part of the
company was enjoying the tilt between
two OF the big steers that captain
like led the advancing horned host.
Five thousand head of cattle! A little
sea OF thin. nervous faces and wide
spreading, sharp-pointed horns. Some
times so wild as to defy any but the
most expert riders, mounted on fresh
ponies; again seeming like farmyard in
habitants in their harmlessness
These, browsing through the ravines
and now feeding quietly while the
herders, sitting ON their ponies. awaited
the boss herder's pleasure, were in the
latter wood. and it seemed impossible
that they could become as ungovern-
able as the beasts of the forest. Even as
the spectators looked, an exhibition was
to be given which would exemp:ify it
all.
The boys of the school were watching
the spectacle and likewise trying to do
something to show their allegiance to
the nation. For the latter purpose they
were provided with several large fire
crackers. 1t seemed to them that now
would be an opportune time to begin the
celebration, and accordingly the fuse of
lighted and the whole thrown far out
in the grass.
Nobody can tell what will cause n
stampede. The crack of a stick, the
whistle of quail-anythi sudden
and strange. In this case it was n
Fourth of July firecracEer, and it did its
work well.
'sBangi" A thousand heads were
raised. Believing sounds came from
the leaders Threats: forefeet stamped
angrily and then came the start! With
heads thrown back, a dozen steers
started off on their wild career. Hun
dreds followed them, and soon the herd
was in motion. 1t became blind, I'M
reasoning horde, carrying death to
whatever living thing came in its way
and comfortable only by adroit side
riding of the cowboys.
Jason and the school-teacher stood
watching the transformat alton. They
