Wheaton moved toward the door.

Wheaton paused in the door; Snyder had
followed him. They were the same height
as they stood up together.

find you sober tomorrow night" He went
out and closed the door after him.
Two or three men who were sitting IN The
office below eyed Wheaton curiously as
he went out. The thought that they might
recognize him from his portraits in the
papers pleased him.
He retraced his steps from the hotel mud
boarded car filled with people Of the
laboring class who were returning from an
outing in the suburbs. They were making
merry In strange tongue, and their bois-
ferrous mirth was offense to him. He
was gentleman of position returning from,
an errand of philanthropy, and he re-
manned on the platform where the atmos-
phere was purer than that within, which
was contaminated by the rough young
Swedes and their yellow-haired sweet
hearts. When he reached The Bachelors
the doing Chinaman told him that all tho
others were out. He went to his room aud
spent the rest of the evening reading a
| novel which he had heard Evelyn Porter
mention the night that he had dined at
her house.
The next day he bought a ticket to Spo-
kane, and drew one hundred dollars from
his account in the bank. He went ut 6
o'clock to the Occidental to keep his ap-
pointment and found Snyder patiently
waiting for him in the hotel Office, Ii HldIng

Wheaton gave him money and waited while
he paid at the counter. The proprietor rec
ogniZed Wheaton and nodded to him. Cues
lions were not asked at the Occidental.
At the railway station Wheaton stepped
velopes from his pocket Here's your

firmly. angry at Snyders hint for further

Snyder put out his hand.

Wheaton stood inside the station and
watched the man cross the archaeological
platform, show his ticket at the gate and
walk to the train. He still waited, watch

the train rolled out into the night.

Parents who have boys whose ages
range from ~ to 20 years are often
perplexed as to clothing for the grow
ing lad. Overcoats especially are
palgue. as they usually represent
quite a sum of money and have to
be purchased every year. Naturally
a small price is paid for the goods
and in a month the boy looks shabby.
Recently there has come to the city
a firm which sells late government
supplies. Among the rest is a num-
Der of overcoats. made from regular
army clothing cloth. Here you have

quiet little village of Rockford on

Of the town was disturbed vastly.
As the result, Fred Kennedy, who
was SO confding as to cash a check
for the young man from the city, is
now mournfully beholding hole in his
days receipts, with a predominating
feeling of the man who wished he
might be so constituted that he could
without too great inconvenience give
himself one severe kiek-and where it
would hurt.

SCHOOL WINS
FIRST BASEBALL GAME
Old Rooters and Fair Stu
dents See High School
Defeated

The first baseball game Of the sea-
son was played at Front and Union
streets yesterday. when the Whining
tom Business School and the Whining
ton High school battled for supremacy.
The game was too one-sided to be very
interesting. yet the fact OF 1t being the
first of the season kept many a rooter
until tho last man was out. and the
business school had won by al score OF
9 to G.
The 200 people who saw the game
was made up Of those 'iwho Just
couldn't stay away when a game Of
baseball Was to be played" and bevy
of pretty girls who came TO cheer their
champions ON to victory. The High
School was much larger represented
than dae ether institution. and the
girls came deckad In the colors Of their
school and carrying flags Two OF
three attempts were made 10 chant a
college yell by these fair followers of
the sport hut the cheers, before being
completed, died in a glirgle Il semed
the weather was too cold for much en-
thusiasm, and more than one maid
wrapped her oclt more closely about
herself and saivered as the sun sank
below the fence. but with a stern face.

ats one expressed it.
There was a goOdly delegation from
other schools there also. the Whining
ton Military Academy. Goldey College
and Friends School being represented
to size up the strength Of the two
teams, as they all have games with
them later in the season.
For a time It looked like a wall1-over
for the Wilmington Business School,
but the High School team took a brace
after the fifth inning and gradually
forced their score up. but the brace
came too late in the game. Both teams
were wild in throwing to bases. and the
pitchers were soft. it being their first
time this season.
Sparks pitched a good game for the
school. having many strike
outs to his credit. The High School
tried several twirlers. Both teams
give promise OF playing a good game.
