Owing to misunderstanding as to train
service, the White Hill team did not reach
Palmyra until about five o'clock, but the
spectators waited and were well repaid
for their patience. The game was pretty
one throughout.
Hesley pitched in great form, holding
Palmyra down to three hits, and with per.

Errors at critical times permitted the home
club to secure two runs, which proved tc
be sufficient to win.

According to a celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 5000, 900 little glands
in the human stomach. These glands pour
out the digestive juices which dissolve or
digest the feod. Indigestion is want of
juice, weakness of glands, need of help to
restore the health of these organs. The
best and most natural help is that given
by Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natural,
because it supplies the materials needed
by the glands to prepare the digestive
juices. Because it strengthens and in
vigorates the glands and the stomach, I'M
til they are able to do their work alone.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indigest-
ion certainly and permanently. 1t does
so by natural means, and therein lies the
secret of its wonderful and UNMARRIED sue
cess.

BoRDRNTowN 4, MOUNT HOLLY 3.
Much to the surprise of the fans, Mount
Holly was defeated at Bordentown by the
tail-enders in close and exciting game
The chief cause of the downfall of the
county seat aggregation was its inability
to hit Hitchner, who served up lot Of
underhand shoots that completely dazzled
the visiting batters. The usually heavy.
hitting Mount Holly club was held down
to five hits, while Bordentown succeeded
in getting ten off Wilson.
But even at that the visitors would have
won if Wilson had been effective in the
eighth and ninth innings At the open
ing of the eighth the score stood to in
favor of Mount Holly. Then Bordentown
went in and got four clean singles in sue
cession, resulting in three runs and tieing
the score. In the ninth Wilson gave the
first man up, Shultz, base ON balls, and
he scored on two sacrifices and hit by
Fenton, ending the game
Mount Holly scored one run in the sec
ond inning on a base on balls to Carfrey
and two errors by Shultz The other two
tallies were made in the fifth. Dunn and
Logan each singled and came home on two
wild pitches.

Light hitting and close scores were the
characteristics of three of the County

ception of the Florence Burlington game,
which was won with ease by Florence the
contests were intensely exciting. 1t is

closely matched and it is getting to be

CHAPTER III.

1t remains for us to follow the gigan-
tic Hindoo.
After having descended some forty or
fifty steps Of a staircase in excellent
preservation, the native entered q SUBJ
terranean vault, feebly lighted by
small lamp placed upon a block of
granite Of terrible aspect. This block
had recently been the monstrous altar
on which were inundated the human
victims offered as sacrifice to the god
silva. The subterranean apartment
was the exact counterpart, in form
and dimensions, of the Votive hall
above
AS the Hindoo reached the last step
Of the staircase he found himself con
ironted with the pale and beautiful I'M
known; but now fold after fold of
white gauze, embroidered in gold en-
veloped her, so that only her luminous
black eyes were vizible.
AS far as one might judge beneath
the veil, she was q woman Of medium
height and wonderful elegance and
grace. Her small, aristocratic hands.
ungloved and white, were adorned
with priceless jewels. Two tiny scar
let slippers covered her feet, which
seemed the feet Of child.
II have obeyed, madame" said the
Hindoo, in slow. cultural tones. ''Here
is the stranger"
els he not beautiful, Saugor?' she
asked.
IL do not know, madame"
Chow? You do not know? You have
not, then, indeed, looked at him?'
II have seen him, madame, but do
not understand the beauty Of these
pale faces, with hair the color of the
sun. Those who resemble women so
closely are not the men for me''
The unknown smiled beneath her
veil.
"saugor," she said, "where are the
mutes?''
"In the subterranean gallery, with
TIE palanquin."
'1t is well. I win open the iron
gate.''
"Where will you go, madame?'
s'To the palace"
"Shall I precede you with my bur-
dcn?'
"No. The mutes will carry the
stranger in the palanquin."
'But it will admit of but one"
~ will walk"
Out"
The young woman interrupted with
an imperious gesture, adding, in tone
which suffered no reply:
"Obey me!'
Saugor bowed and was silent.
The unknown turned toward an iron
door; massive as though destined to
close upon those condemned to death.
Taking from her belt a key, she in
troduced 1t into the lock; the door
swung back upon its hinges, revealing
vaulted gallery, which seemed to
sing itself into the very entrails Of the
ear
