Dillydoll was born in Nuremburg.
Nobody knew where Japlittle came
from. He looked mysterious whenever
the subject was mentioned and limited
that he was a kidnapped son of the
Mikado.
But nobody in the ark believed that.
Noah used TO laugh at it-that is,
he tried to laugh. but his fine red
smile had been washed half off by
glass of water that was upset over
him. so his laugh was not a real sue
cess.
The ark was laboring in a heavy
napkin sea when Dillydoll and Japlit-
tie came aboard in a tremendous hur-
ry. They were so much bigger than
the other passengers that even the ele-
phant complained.
Japllttle fell on top of the hyena

of its excellent spotted legs so that
thereafter the sufferer had to lean
against things.

Frankfort and Rockville occupied OPP

When the Frankfort team strobe on
the field, each player wearing dark

greeted with wild cheers and shouts by
the battalion of supporters.
Dick Mitchell. the captain. stalked
down the side lines with an air so
naughty that his own supporters would

George Kinsley, better known as

from the kick off.

Gil Peaksley, the right end, caught

CHAPTER v.

Ben had lighted a candle, and there
was still a fire on the hearth, and the
children at once saw that the two men
belonged to the fishing village, and
were two of the toughest looking fell
lows of the crowd. For a moment no
one spoke, while the men edged fur
Their in and shut the door behind them.
So far as could be seen the only weap-
ons they had were the knives used by
all fishermen. Ben was the first to
speak:
What do you men want?" he ask
ed in voice that trembled a little.
I'll tell you that in no time" an
swered one of the men with a grin.
we want that money you have stored
up In the house and we don't want any
fooling about it. If you hand it over
neither of you shall be hurt, but il
you are sassy about it We'll roast you
on that fire.
1t was hard for the children to be-
lieve that the men had come to pill
lage the house. and for a moment
they wondered if their visitors were
not playing a joke. They were still
staring and wondering when the other
man said:
Bill, you take the girl and I'll take
the boy, and We'll have that money in
ten minutesi"
open that door and get QUIT"
shouted Ben as he brought his rifle up
to his face. While he was naturally
somewhat frightened, as far older
boy would have been, he was no cow
ard. AS he pointed his weapon at one
man Nancy covered the other with
hers.
IF you shoot" said the man who
had spoken first, well roast you alive
and be all night about it! Jim, let's
rush theml'
The rascals sprang forward, but as
they did so both the children fired.

THE WILD DOGS
TURTLE FEAST
By CAPT. r. L. sPICER.

Accompanied by my friend Gran
dor l made a hunting visit once to the
Island of Java, where we bagged many
strange sorts of game. The head of a
wild dog glares down at my writing
desk now as a trophy of that expedi-
ton.
These wild dogs hunt in packs, and
are fierce customers. A native ruler
promised to show US a pack of dogs
feasting on turtle. One evening with
few attendants he took us to part
of the seashore where the great sea
turtles came out to lay their eggs.
We followed out the top of one of
the dunes for shelter, and we could see
the turtles hauling themselves up from
the ocean. Some of them were mon
sters, / can tell you.
Night came on and the full moon

Planned II.

he did so, slipped the ball back into
Reddy's hands, gave him push, and
almost before anyone had taken in
the play Reddy bounded over the
line. touching the ball down for his
side.
If Rockville could only kick goal!
That would tie the game.
Joe Bartlett sent the ball whirling
towards the posts, but it went wild,
and Rockville's chance was gone. The
best she could hope for in the six
minutes remaining was to keep her
opponents from scoring, and although
Frankfort got the ball Immediately
after the kick off on a punt, Rockville
blocked her like a wall of granite
when she lined up.
Second down and 1--WE yards to
gain" shouted the referee.
Then Dick Mitchell saw his chance
to make a grandstand play, and make
his teams victory really brilliant. He
whispered to the quarter back:
Throw it to me for fake kick, and
I'll carry it down the field"
The center snapped the ball. 1t
passed out of the hands of the quarter
back like a shot, but Dick fumbled
it, and Gil Peaksley, the Rockville
right end, ran into him, head down,
like a battering ram.
Dick turned a complete somersault,
while the ball spun out of his hands.
dozen boys swooped down after
it, and Dick was buried beneath a
pile of arms and legs.
The mass parted. A figure sprang
out with the ball. 1t was Dick. He
had recovered it, after all.
"Hurrah for Dick Mitchell.
Then the spectators started in
amazement. What? Wasn't it Dick?
Yes, it was surely Dick, and he was
running like wildfire across the field.
But he was headed for his own and
not the enemy's goal!
Dick had been completely turned
around in the scrimmage, and was

The children had made five or six
trips and done fairly WELL when they
returned home one day to find sur
prise awaiting them. They had not
locked the door on going away, no
longer having any money in the house,
and they found 1t wide open on their
return. AS they looked in and saw
the floor Uttered up they stepped back
and Ben whispered
Somebody or something has been
here and may be still inside. We will
raise yell, and if 1t is a wild animal
he will come bounding out. Be ready
with your rifle"
Fortunately for them, the children
always took their weapons along with
them, and now had them ready. They
set up a great shout, and what fol-
lowed shall tell you in the next chap

BATES COLLEGE.
Football Enthusiasm Now at Height
Other Notes.

Lewiston. Me, Oct. DISQUALIFICATION
ball enthusiasm at Bates is at its height.
The coming contest between Maine and
Bates, to be played on GarcelOn field.
Saturday. is the all absorbing topic. On
few occasions in the history of football
at Bates has the student body displayed
so much enthusiasm and interest in the
welfare of the team.
Thursday morning, after chapel rous-
ing mass meeting was held. the most en-
thusiastc one ever held within the walls
of the chapel. Vice president Kendall of
,he, Athletic Association, the star half
back. presided; Captain Reed was called
of enthusiasm and this time the students
went wild. Shouts for Captain Reed, ap-
plause and the Bates yell followed his
speech. Reed spoke of the urgent ne
cessity of the support of the team on
tine part of the student body.
Following Reed came Common, the big
fullback. and among the ether speak
ars were Professors Veditz and Harris
horn. johnson. the big guard, and Thurs
ton. the center.
They spoke of the need of a strong sec
to. Thursday night. when several new
men were out on the field. At the meet
ing there was evidence that the Bates
spirit was not dead, although thus far
this season until the present time there
has seemed to be lack of interest in
football on the part of the students.
After the mass meeting the football
captain, Coaches Moody and Purington
and the players were rOusingly cheered
while the students were passing out of
chapel. and later the campus resounded
with their shouts.
At 430, the students assembled in a
body in front of the chapel and march
ed to the gridiron. There they watched
the Scrimmage between the first and sec
end teams and responded with cheers to
every good play. There were some 700 on
the bleachcrs. The practice seemed snap
pier because of the support of the stu
dents, and the boys got into the game
with vigOr that made Coach Purinton
smile. Friday night. the students will
again visit the practice and it is evident
that if loyal and hearty support can make

in the Maine game have risen 100 per
