Ny Love went berrying
Where brooks were merging,
And wild wings ferrying
Heav'n's amethyst;
The wild flowers blessed her,
My dearest Hester,
The winds caressed her,
The sunbeams kissed.
! followed, carrying
Her basket varying
Fond hopes OF marrying
With hopes denied
Both late and early
She deemed me surly,
So bowed her curly
Fair head and sighed.
"The skies look lowery
It will be showery;
No longer fiowery
The way find.
No use in going!
Twill soon be showing
II you keep growing
Much more unkind.

Accident That Let Kahoe Score I'm the
Ninth Inning.

special to the Indianapolis Journal
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, July 26.-There was
but one question to be decided IN to-days
game and that was whether or not Pardee
would give the Hoosiers a shut-out AL
though Hawley was not easy the Blues did
not have any difficulty in making enough
hits to earn three runs. Indianapolis put
up by far the best fielding game it has
shown in Kansas City this season, playing
without an error. Allen made some particu-
larly difficult stops and throws, while Stew
art killed what looked like safe base hit
of Wilson's. Slagle made one very remark
able catch, which robbed the Hoosiers of
at least one run. In the first inning Slagle
and Connaughton got clean singles and
executed a double steal. Williams sent
them in by hard drive to left. Williams
opened the sixth with a two-bagger Will
son sacrificed and O'Hagan sent Williams
home with the Blues last run by safe hit.
In the ninth after Nichol had gone out
Kahoe and Allen singled and Lynch was put
in to bat for Hickey and sent fly which
Frisbee caught. AS Frishee slipped and fell
after making the catch Kahoe scored from
third, which he could not have done under
ordinary circumstances. Flynn, who batted
for HaWley was retired at first. Score:
