ing of the launch denended unon tho

ing of the launch depended upon the
heroic endeavors of these two in the
"sprite." Other help was at hand and
nearer. The launch was no more
than fairly helpless when the flag
boat of the Wahaska Yacht club
rounded the southern point of the
island, close-reefed, but driving at
railway speed before the squall. Her
skipper saw the accident and was
happily a man for an emergency.
Moreover, he had trained yachts
crew aboard, ready to spring to
quarters at his yelled command. So
it came about that the Diana" was
the first on the scene, and her crew
was picking up the shipwrecked ones
when the ''Sprite' came up, head to
the wind, in the thrashing seas.
Notwithstanding, the "Sprite" had
its mission, and for all the quick
work of the big sloop's trained, crew,
one life would have gone out in the
smothering pillows but for the up
coming of the catboat. In all the
fierce excitement of the moment. it
was Charlotte who kept cool, and it
was she who caught a glimpse of Ii
white head upthrust for moment;
of that and of a hand flung out to
grasp hopelessly at nothing In "a
flash she gave Griswold his cue and
TANNED the tiller down to utilize the
last forging rush of the catboat's
momentum. The reefed sail had
spilled and would draw no more, but
the quick sweep of the big rudder
sufficed; and Griswold, leaning far
over the side, clutched the despairing
hand just as it was disappearing.
This was how it came about that
an old man whose span of years had
well-nigh bridged the little rift of
Time which lies between the two
shores of Eternity, was helped to
make that rift a little wider. For all
his years, and the fierce struggle in
the foam-smother, Andrew Galbraith
was yet conscious when Griswold
dragged him over the gunwale of the
catboat; and his first gasped-out
word was characteristic of the man.
'I-I told that gandering loon of
an ingineer he'd lose Mr.. Grierson's
boat, and he's done it the moo! And
Is warrant she cost a pretty penny,
too"
With the lake still dashed into fury
by the squall, which was now spend
ing itself in spiteful catspaws, Girls
void had his hands full with the
"Sprite;" and yet in all the distrac-
ton of it he saw the shadow of
smile in Charlotte's eyes, and found
time to answer it. Found time for
this, and for the thought which
welled up in sudden ecstacy at this
little lovers proof of the consanguin-
ity of kindred souls. But after that
he became the cool and intrepid
sailor-man again.
Taking the tiller, he let the catboat
fall off until he could speak the
yacht.
'Sloop ahoy!" he called; 'shave you
got them ALP"
"All but one" was the answer,
blown back on the gale.
''All right; we have that one"
shouted Griswold; and at the word,
the two boats shot apart, each to
make it's laboring way towards the
Wahaskan haven.

the bench. In the sixth inning, with
Keister on second base, Wolverton hit

either McGann or Williams. but Williams
made try for 1t ard showed his left
hand out just in time to head off the

Wolverton died at first. The play was

ing the first Of the three players recently
enjoined by the Philadelphia National

Negotiations are now on between the
other enjoined players, Laioie and Bern
in q few days. Conferences have been
held between the players and Colonel
Rogers, of the Phillies, at which the terms
of Fraser and Bernhard as to salary we're
met. but Lajoie's terms were too steep
for the Philadelphia club.
Bernhard Holds Out.
Bernhard later made another condition
which has not yet been met by the club.
and has caused temporary hitch in his
case. Fraser will receive salary of sew
eral hundred more than he got from the
Phillies before he jumped. and the salaries
offered the other men are also In excess
of that paid them in 1900.
Fraser will be paid from April Is last.

Good for Baltimore.

Except for the one inning, yesterdays
game was such as the real baseball fan
claims he delights 10 see; it was bat
tie of pitchers. No doubt the rooters of
Baltimore would tell you that the game
was one that could not be improved upon.
And SO it was-for Baltimore. Had Wash
fngton won. there Is no question that the
contest would be called splendid one;
but when the home players cannot get
next to the opposing pitchers high balls
and low balls and other balls, there is no
interest in 1t for psrtisans of the home
team. That was the case yesterday. The
Congrcssmen were to blame, collectively
and severally, because they could not do
a thing to Prof McGinnity's curves. In
only one inning were the Senators able
to connect safely with more than one
safe hit, and in that one. the second. their
total number of hits was two. On the
other hand. the Baltimore lads gave an
evidence OF their liking for Lees twisters
fn every inning but three. II is true that
the Indian managed to squirm out of sew
eral trying situations. but the fact re-
mains that the Birds were very much
