The water was about up to the boys waists, and judging from the yells and gasps, it was pretty cold. The girls did not like the looks of it, but they hated to be stumped. IVY
 "F'raidy cat, Fraidy cat!" yelled all the boys in chorus. "Stumped at last Amt we glad we're not girls?"
 Patsy and Laura looked at each oth- CT and then at the water and then at the boys, and then at each other again.
 "Goin' to?" said Patsy.
 "No, you bet Pm not!" Laura re- turned with sudden decision. Spoil all my clothes, and have to go home be- sides, just sos to keep up with some boys! Come on, Patsy!"
 Amid jeers and howls the girls walked to the bench where Julie Denton had waited. The boys were splashing in great glee, for after they got used to the water it felt rather good.
 Just, as Patsy was about to take a. seat on the bench beside Julie she saw large man walking straight across the grass toward the fountain. He wore a helmet and brass buttons, and in his hand he carried a heavy wooden stick.
 For one short minute Patsy stopped and gasped then, without a word, she tore over the gravel path toward the fountain.
 'The cop! The cop! The cop!' she yelled. Quick,
 Such a fioufIdering! In one minute the fountain had no inhabitants, the gravel round about was very wet, and flying spray came back from the va rious paths down which the dripping boys had fled, shaking themselves like Newfoundland dogs after a swim.
 Patsy, daed by the suddenness of the whole performance, stood stil for a mo- ment. Then a heavy hand seized her by the arm, and a deep voice said:
 What are you doing here?''
 The policeman had got her!
 Her heart knocked against her ribs. istonVs of jails and fines and patrol wagons and her father and mother dis graced jumped through her brain.
 Nothing" she Battered, not daring to look up.
 "Been swimming in the fountain, eh? That's a states prison offense, I'd have

FOUR NEW PLAYERS SIGNED.

Catcher. Outfelder, Shortstop and
 Pitcher Added to Team.
 Four new players have been signed for the New Haven baseball team by Manager Danaher, and all have arrived in this city. Three were given their first try-out in yesterdays game, while the fourth, a pitcher, has only tried his hand as an umpire so far.
 Sullivan, of Thompsonville, who play ed in the outfield with New London some time last season. has been secur- ed to play left field. Sharpe, the New Bedford find, who proved so flat fail ure, skipped out Wednesday evening before giving MT. Danaher an Opportu- nlty to release him. He sent his uni- form to Manager Danaher yesterday afternoon by boy, who said that Sharpe had sent word that he was go- ing to pitch on some independent team. Manager Danaher only smiled. It sav- ed the trouble of formally giving him his release.
 Maroney, of Meriden, and Burns, of the same city, have been signed to catch and play shortstop, respectively. Lynch, ex-shortstop, and Young, for merly of second base, were both set free Wednesday night.
 The new man who has still to make his debut is one Butler, a pitcher, who comes from South Boston. He was on the field in uniform yesterday, but act ed as an umpire

 'I wasnlt--I wasn't!" protested Pat sy, loudly. We didn't go in--we were too scared" she added, honestly. "How'm I goirl' to believe a excuse like that?" went on the deep voice. < You'd better come with me-"
 ''No, no, no" cried Patsy. "I didn't! n didn't! Look adhere. My, dress is dry"
 She put the hem of her cotton frock into large hand that reached Itself down. To her horror she realized that the splashing from the boys escape had wetted it. , Rather wettisin, seems to me-" said the voice.
 "Oh, but just from the boys being in" she replied, hastily.
 Patsy was silent. She had not meant to tell on the crowd. "Oh, then, the boys were in, were they?" inquired the voice.
 And you told 'em to ship, did you?" Patsy was silent.
 What boys went in? Didn't they know it was against the law"
 "I don't know" trembled Patsy. . "Wje were playing Follow the Lead err" ,,.
 '"Then you belong to the gang, do you? What are their names? I'll get warrants for them." T won't, tel, said Patsy, with a trembling lip. Y ,5..s5< ,>1 t:,

 All of a sudden Patsy felt shake all over the gig blue body standing near , her. The hand that held her shook, tool and looking up, she saw that the policeman was laughing so hard he could hardly keep his grip on her arm, \ He had a great big kind face, and his eyes were full of tears from his

On making in- quiries was told that the lad had been bathing, along with two. others, in the river Leven, which runs near to the farm at Sinnington, and on getting out of the water he sat on the bank, as lads are wont to do, when suddenly a large fish jumped out of the water on to the bank, seized the lad by the foot and jumped in gain. The distance from the water to the edge of the bank was quite two feet and the lads foot was three feet from the edge of the bank. A lady who was passing and heard his cries went to his assistance

 Miss .Abbie Taggart is an outdoor girl. Ever since she was years of Iage, when he father strapped her to the back Of a pony which he let loose lin the home yard, giving it a slap to make it run, she has developed love of daring and risk that has inspired her to many wild adventures
 Miss Taggart recently returned from the Lake Tahoe district, where alone she shot and Killed seven bears and la mountain lion, not to mention small game. ,.,
 Getting the first bear was cinch,
 said Miss Taggart, T was riding along when suddenly my horse gave a snort land jumped about ten feet. Right ahead, among the pines, I discovered a black bear had been wishing for just this thing to happen. I determined Ito kill that bear, but my horse was pirouetting about most dreadfully. It was his first bear, as well as mine, and he didn't like 1t. After he'd turned sew eral somersaults and tried to climb . tree I jumped off and let him go. My, how he did rum
 "Then I faced MT. Baer. who was backing away and looking rather in ldignant, as. if to say, Madam, you're Iintruding. He eyed me sayagely, but backed against a los, stopped and I glared at me. This incident was a \ yerification of the saying that He who lhesitates is lost. took careful aim, 4 fired and Mr, Bear, with one final de- spairing grufit, toppled over.
 l3."I tell you what, though, my next bear gave me q fight. He was a rouser, weighed almost 800 pounds and was as lfierce as fifty devils.

When within about thirty feet of us he stood on his lunches and blew -whoof, Whoof, whoof whoof!

NEW HAVEN LOSES AGAIN
GIVES NORWICH BENEFIT OF
 NINTH STRAIGHT.

Three New Men in the Line-Up-Im-
 prOVement in Fielding over Wednes-
 days Game-HOIyOke Wins from
 Hartford in EIeventh-OratOrs Have
 Close Contest in With IerIden-
 Ponies Shut WhaIers Out.
 Although leading at the close of the fourth inning, New Haven, with three new men in it's lineup, received its ninth straight defeat yesterday after noon at the hands of Norwich by the score of 4 to 8. Norwich found Tuckey at opportune moments and hits, aided by battery errors, cost New Haven the game. Mclean was not in good form, either, allowing nine hits and giving four passes, three of them to Cornell, but New Haven could only succeed in getting just as close to success as fail ure can. In the eighth, for instance, with one out, second and third were filled. yet no tally resulted. Ten men were left on bases.
 Perkins playing at third for Norwich was one of the features of the game. He took a number of difficult chances without the semblance of slip. New Haven also did some pretty work in the field, Sherwood and Sanfranandre do- ing some very good work. New Ha- ven's failure to bat at the right mo- ment, however, was fatal As no regu- lar umpire appeared Latimer, of Nor wich, and Butler, new pitcher for the locals, offieiated.
 The score:
 Norwich.
