expression, appeared to have a marked
effect. The Hillviews played better,
and were more concerted in action. A
hot ball, sent by Snaggles to the Sec
ond base, and from there passed on
to the third, and then home, made a
double play, and put out two men. A
moment later Williams, the catcher,
adroitly took a foul tip from the strik-
er's bat, and so the WATERSHEDS went
back into the field without adding to
their score
It was now Bills turn at the bat,
and the apprehension of his compan-
ions was presently justified by his be-
ing caught out on foul. Then came
Snaggles, and as he awkwardly took
his position, the pitcher of the Water
sides delivered his ball with more con-
fidence than usual. 1t would be easy
to put that fellow out, he thought.
The first ball was passed, but the
second was met by quick, sharp blow,
which sent it over the head of the
short-stop, and over the head Of the
left-felder, who was running backward
with his arms raised frantically in the
air, and far out into the grass, be-
yond the limits Of the ball ground.
Before it could be recovered and
thrown to the pitcher Snaggles had
made the circuit of the bases and was
back receiving the congratulations of
his friends. Z..
"Whew!' Rodgers heard one of the
WATERSHEDS calculate, Il wonder where
they picked up that streak Of light
ming" ts
After Snaggles came Andrews, with
base-hit, which carried him to the
second; and Green, who was sent to his
first on called balls. Then a short,
muscular fellow named Thompson,
made hit, which took him to the
first, and Green to the second, and let
Andrews in. But the next batter made
another foul, and by some miscalcu-
lation both Thompson and Green were
put out before they could regain the
bases they had vacated. That closed
the sixth inning, and the score was
even.
The seventh and eighth innings were
ties, and when the WATERSHEDS went to
the bat on the ninth there was little
said by either side. This inning would
probably decide the championship.
Those in the field were now silent
and watchful The basemen leaned
slightly forward, with their eyes fixed
on the batsmen: and the short-stop
and left-felder advanced or receded,
according to their estimate Of the diff
ferent batsmen. Snaggles had ceased
grinning and chuckling, but his long,
cadaverous face was even more gro
tesque in its soberness than. in it's

all the members had acquiescei

all the members had acquiescei in
Rodgers views. Even Bill acknowl-
edged that being in a circus was not
too much to pay for q possible victory
over the WATERSHEDS. Snaggles had ac-
quilted himself gloriously, and he
walked with them down the street,
proudly conscious that he had been
admitted to the charmed circle Of his
most ambitious dreams.
It lacked but two weeks to the 4th
OF August, and all their spare time
was now devoted to practice. Snag-
giles was given the position OF pitcher,
and watched anxiously, for on his play
would depend much of their possible
success. At first he was little awk-
ward and self-conscious, but within a
week had established himself in the
boys confidence, and thoroughly ia
mlliarized himself with the game. Evil
GENTLY he made baseball the study OF
his thoughts by day and dreams by
night. He was seldom seen without a
ball, which was necessarily making ex-
perlmental trips into the air in all man
ner of curves and twists. One day he
1nventedsa peculiar curve. which filled
the boys with enthusiastic delight. If
the WATERSHEDS did not catch on to it.,
was the unanimous verdict, they would
have no show for the championship.
AT last the momentous day arrived,
and the Hillviews and WATERSHEDS met
on the field, the one eager and hopeful,
and the other confident and supercil-
ious. The visiting club went to the
bat first, and there were many broad
smiles exchanged among them as the
unga.nly Snaggles hurried expectantly
to the pitchers position.
But for time the Hillviews labored
under disadvantage; they were nerv-
Gus and excited, while their opponents
were calm and nonchalant. The close
OF the fifth inning found the score s
to in favor of the WATERSHEDS.
This won't do" demonstrated Rodg-
ers, as the Hillviews scattered toward
their respective positions in the field,
we've got to. brace up. You made an
awful muf that last time, Bill. Just
take the balls easy and don't get ex-
cited. And you, Green, don't stand so
Tar from your base. You've already let
two men in by that carelessness. Let's
see If we can't keep them from getting
a run this inning. Give them some
more OF your twisters, Snaggles, and
don't be afraid of powder And now,
fellows all of you remember that on
the next four innings depends the
championship. Break your fingers and
legs II you want to, but don't make
any more muffs or wild throws"

members of the visiting club were be-
ginning to have a just-as-we-expected

Salt Water Breed of ToaSs.

Just do something extra and out of
the ordinary before he departs for Eu-
rope, J. Marsden, the agricultural COM
missioner of Hawaii, q will, develop
sea toad, for the use of certain island
districts where standing fresh water is
scarce. Mr.. Marsden is a firm believer
in evolution, and will follow lines sug-
gested by Darwin. Already toads have
been produced in brackish waters. This
tells the commissioner that he cannot
fail. For the next culture he will
make the water still more salty, and at
about the fourth or fifth breeding will
try pure sea water. He is confident
that the plan will work out correctly.
In the undertaking Mr.. Marsden has
received much encouragement from
Professor Koebele, the government en-
tomologist, and from other friends.

recommends that as the woman's hus-
pand cannot care for her she should
be removed to the county hosnital
where room should be provided with
a separate arrangement for washing
the clothes and disinfecting the bodv

much under treatment. She had prob
ably contracted the disease in Demer-

case, had taken eight years to appear.

which indicate that it is difficult 70

discharge of their ministerial duties.

are points from the professors obser-

and the secretary of the state board OF
health wrote Jan. 10, 1898, that there

these have probably died since the last
