A small, pale-faced girl of II, with
long, black-stockinged legs, slid down
the bannisters, skipped through the

by here every morning-no, not Billy,

steps.
Don't feel badly about it," said the
Merode girl. Hell get over it,
''The little imp!" said the girl with
the tea-rose waist, viciously. ''Talk
about little brothers being mean! I'd
trade her for any little brother in the
block. Oh, don't care whether he
gets over it or not; if he had any sense
he'd have laughed, but he's one of that
kind that is always afraid somebody is
going to laugh at them. Wouldn't give

that hat hideous? She always has the
most distressed-looking hats. Why
don't you like Clara Mawby?"
''Well, of all things! Would you like
girl who acted like that with you?"
''Eldridge likes her, though"
II don't believe he does. He just talks
about her because he knows 1 loathe
her"
'What does he say?"
Nothing much. Oh, want you to
see my new silk-rag curtains. haven't
got them woven yet, but I've nearly
enough tied. They're going to look
swell. Guineyere Collins has got pair
in her room. They're perfectly lovely.
CPL come over tomorrow evening,
maybe. Clara won't be there, will she?
Oh, don't really dislike her. There
isn't much to her one way or the other
to like or dislike. Oh! and, Eva, you'll
promise you won't say anything about
what Marguerite said to-anybody.
There really and truly isn't a thing to
it. You know I'd tell you the very
first, don't you?"
II won't tell Eldridge, if that's what
you mean"
The girl with the tea-rose waist
blushed slightly. ''You know I didn't
mean that" she said.
"Why, of course you did, you goose.
Oh, Maud"
The girl in the tea-rose waist blushed
again and futtered the leaves of her
magazine under her thumb.
The Merode girl jumped up and kissed
the girl with the tea-rose waist three
times and ran lightly down the steps.

"BILLY" KENNEDY WAS
SURPRISED BY FRIENDS
The Ex-Superintendent of the olym-
pic Club Presented With a Gold
Watch and Chain.

William ]. Kennedy, the popular ex-
superintendent of the Olympic Club, re-
ceived a pleasant surprise from his
friends yesterday afternoon 1t was in
the shape of a handsome gold watch and
chain and testimonial which were nra
sented to him by his fellow club mates
in appreciation for the many courtesies
extended them during his seven years
term of office in the well-known athletic
institution.
When Mr. Kennedy resigned his position
in the club there were many regrets. as
by his courteous manner and kindly treat
ment he had won a host Of followers. The
latter, anxious to show their good feeling
toward him. hit upon the plan of present.
ing him with something substantial as a
mark of their esteem. Within a short
time a large sum was collected without
his knowledge, and this was devoted to
obtaining beautiful watch chain and
locket and to having a testimonial en-
crossed. Engraved in the inner case of
ton, ITO William j. Kennedy, from his
friends in the Olympic Club AS is his
usual wont, Kennedy went to the club
yesterday afternoon to play handball. He
did not notice that larger number of
men were idling around the gymnasium
than usual, until he was called from his
exercise by Fred Butz. In a few we'll
chosen words the well-known sprinter
handed him a plush case containing the
valuable present and also the framed tes-
1monial. Billy stammered out some
thing. thanking them for their kindness
to him: His eyeglasses grew foggy and
words failed him. His friends, seeing his
plight, shook him by the hand and patted
him heartily on the back
Elroy, S. F; Hughes and Frank McClel-
land dined the happy man at downtown
rotisSerie and later escorted him to the
theater. Billy is so proud of the token
that he is wearing his pocket out admir-
ing the timepiece and showing his friends
his beautiful present.

Rating Of the League Clubs,

but per cent separating them in the
ranking column.
The two games which the Dudes took
from the Lobsters last Sunday bridged
the breach, and though the former are
still in the position which seemed theirs
for keeps, they may be third before the
week is out. Oaklands record of late is
no less than phenomenal; but very few
games have been lost out Of the last
twenty played. This week Oakland meets
harder game. the locals, and some close
baseball should result. The change made
of late in the distribution of positions in
the local team has made it a stronger
nine.
There are two distinct groups in the
four teams playing ball to-day. San
Francisco and Sacramento are in one
group. Oakland and Santa Cruz in the
other. Between the first two teams there
is a break of z per cent and between the
groups 100 per cent. To Gust San Fran
cisco from second place will be a difficult
task, and 1t is not likely to be accom-
plished this season. San Francisco may
top Sacramento, but every indication
points to the supremacy of the Senators.

team Will win the championship.

strong one and led the brace of dogs
clean across the field without a swerve.

Witzemann stated that on Tuesday he
had found some goat meat in the County
Hospital and yesterday had found, while
inspecting meats at the Almshouse, two
legs of goat meat ready to be cooked.
When asked if he could easily distinguish
dressed mutton from dressed goat meat
he replied: 81 could tell the difference in
this case all right; the legs had whiskers
on 'em, and billygoat is not mutton"
A Mr.. Hutton, representing Hoffman &
Woene, the contracting butchers ques-
toned the inspector and brought out the
fact that the butchers were willing at any
time to rectify any mistakes or make
good any deficiencies. Hoffman,, the. Sc

explain to the board why goat meat had
been substituted for mutton. He ex-
planned that he did not kill his meats, but
