fell down upon all the length and breadth
of the Overcoat road and its tributaries

sounds of human life by the strange,
lonely, incessant, stridulous discords of
the multitudinous and multifarious insect
life of the new country. The sharp,
clear gratings of the myriads of black
and gray crickets, the loud humming of
thousands of huge black beetles, the
higher and finer shrillings of smaller un-
known winged flies of the outer night,
all welded together with the thin, reso-
nant hum of the little creatures of the
mosquito tribes-these, with the soft fut-
ter of bats kings and the frequent loud,
hoarse, rubbing sound made by the half
closed wings of the bull-bat, falling from
unseen heights of night air with mouth
wide open in order to sweep myriads of
flying insects into his rapacious nav, in
this long and lightning-like dive through
the thin lake of transparent, star-lit air
all these small, shrill, unceasing sounds
of the night took oppressive possession of
the world of sounds, leaving the human
sense of sound upon tip-toe, and in
hreathless suspense.

THE CURVED BALL.
It IL the Atmosphere Which Causes
Ita Ecce nitric Oh oots.

1t IL the Atmosphere Which Causes
It's Eccentric Shoots.
Almost any ten-year-old youngster
can curve ball, even though he does
not know why he can do so except
that the leather must be held in a GER
tain way. Possibly a half dozen Of
the major league twirlers know some
thing about the science Of the curve,
but comparatively few understand why
they can produce their blenders" The
Scientific American gives the follow
Ing as the scientific explanation of the
matter:
THE pitcher in the field tells Us that
the ball curves because he gives 1t
twist, but scientifically this will not
do. Why will the twist make .the
curve? If ball were thrown in GER
tain direction and II the force Of CRAWL
tation were not at work the ball would
continue on in straight line forever.
Some force of resistance Is then at
work when ball Is made to deviate in
curve from its straight course. If
feather is dropped in vacuum In an
exhausted receiver of an air pump it
will drop like shot, but If it is drop
ped out In the air it will go down ir-
regularly and slowly, shifting from
side to side.
at is the atmosphere which causes
the ball to curve. Bearing in mind
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1905-06-09

that the atmosphere is a compressible,
elastic gas, we find that when the ball
leaves the hand of the pitcher with a
rapid rotary motion 1t 'impinges upon
a continuous elastic cushion and this
moderate resistance, or friction,
changes its course in the direction
which is given to the rotary motion.
Take an outshoot of right handed
pitcher, for instance. He lmpresses
upon the ball a rapid centrifugal ro-
tary motion to the left, and the ball
goes to the left because the atmos-
phere, compressible and elastic, is
packed into an elastic cushion Just
ahead Of the ball by the swift forward
and rotary motion, and the friction,
which Is very great in front of the ball,
steers it in the direction 1t Is turning"

The harbOr, 1t appears, Is not whit
less battling in its natural configura-
ton than is that Of Port Arthur. Vlad-
ivostok is situated on the gulf of Peter
the Great, an arm of the Japan Sea.
The town Is built on the slopes OF a
high ridge forming a taperlng penin-
sula into an irregular landlocked bay.
There are two narrow entrances to the
harbor, both fianked by highlands
which bristle with batteries and forti-
fications. The entrances are further
guarded by forts erected on an island
at their mouths and innumerable islets
lust outside on which are many de-
fensive works of various kinds. Sur
mounting the crest Of the headlands,
which stretch for miles to the east
ward and are known as the Golden
Horn, are continuous chains of earth
works and other defenses. The lofty
hills on the northwest protect the port
from the land side, and in the deep
water Of the Golden Horn, which Is at
least four miles in length and mile in
width, the largest ships may ride safe
" at anchor, free from the menace Of
attack and beyond the reach of the
weather.
Like Port Arthur, VladivOstok con-
sists Of three portions. That nearest
the water is the military town, extend
ing along the harbor and given up al
most exclusively to storehOuses, mill
tary quarters and officers residences.
On the extreme north Of the harbor
are the official buildings and the pri-
vate dwellings Of the government en-
ployes and private citizens. Beyond
and higher still Is the arsenal. strong
ly fortified The population is about
$4,000, excluding the military.
1t Is not likely that the town could
be entered by an invading force from
landward without a repetition Of the
hard fighting that took place at Port
Arthur. The natural disposition Of the
hills at the rear Of Vladivostok has

well he looked! How ittingly that half

And what a startling transformation was
there in everything that had made the

place. Even to the black, close-cut hair.
She had forgotten that among her
charges of duplicity. Perhaps the fact
that she admired black hair had been
taken as a silent conformation of the Of
fense to having concealed it under a
brown wig. Had he really loved her
when he was playing his many parts on
the little Sandtown stage? If she had
been sure of that would she have ar
raigned him so bitterly?
Had she been shrewish? Had she
shown an ugly temper? She didn't be-

had he thought of it? Certainly he had
seen no display of it in all his former
acquaintance with her. And in that in
innate relation that must exist among
people who gather in the same room ev-
cry evening, and eat at the same table
three times every day-not forgetting the
Sundays in which he had hardly left her
side half an hour for the whole day; If
she had known this, what splendid op-
portunity to have appeared at her very
best. For really, she had not tried to
appear well. She had teased him un-
nercifully. She had taunted him with
remaining contented with a subordinate
q
see now how it was that he could bear
such teasing as that with smiling stoi-
cism.
But, ah! the very last words he had
said to her And the very last thing he
did! Her face crimsoned at the recol-
lection, but always wreathed with her
sweetest, softest smiles, too. He had
looked even in that dim Starlight, so
eager, so earnest, so handsome. He had
said almost in the manner of giving his
! invisible pledge-that he would see her
soon again! Remember that, Lizzy! He
would see her soon if it lay within his
power. If it lay within his power!
And then he started away, up the dark
road. And before he had gone ten steps,
he turned and saw her still standing
there and looking after him. Maybe that
was how it came that he thought of run
ming back. Very well! If she had done
anything to bring him back for that sup
Elemental parting, she was glad of it.
He had held her a moment to his breast.
His strong arms had been about her.

CHAPTER XVIII.

In spite of the prediction that Judge
Jim Kilket's extraordinary posse conf
tatus would "be heard from! and that
soOn," it was no sooner enveloped in the
| dim and leaf-arched aisles of Wickly's
Woods, than it passed as far beyond the
ken of the Sandtown people as if it had
freighted a Spanish galleon and sailed
away down the Wabash with current and
wind both favoring the voyage.
True, that certain adventurous spirits
came back at intervals, riding down the
| already drying sands of the Overcoat
road as if they brought tidings of stir
ring things. But they rode straight to
the court room, where the judge sat in
the midst of his bar and four strange,
city gentlemen, who were the clients of
Billy Biler, our Congressman, and who
| represented the interests of the new
Sandtown and Northwestern Railroad.
Having ridden straight to the door and
| dismounted, these messengers would run
into the court room, advance straight to
| the judge, who, seeing them coming,
would be upon his feet in an instant, and
would lead the way to the grand jury
room, where they would remain for some
minutes Tree lTOUl VI
| tion of any sort.
Then they would all come out, wearing
grave and determined faces, the Judge
coming back to his chair, and the couriers
going back to their saddles, and away,
up in the Overcoat road and into the
mysterious fastness of Wickly's Woods.
To those who were bold enough to ask
Judge Jim what it meant, he replied uni
formly, that negotiations were in pro-
Gress, but that he was by no means at
| liberty to say of what nature or with
what prospect of success
But while this simple declaration was
quite sufficient to persuade the Hoosier
people of Sandtown and vicinity that
the very best was being done for all CON
cerned, it did not satisfy the four pol
shed and well-dressed easy-mannered
gentlemen who represented the new s..
& N. w. And they manifested their
dissatisfaction through their attorney,
Congressman Biler, in many motions
| with which lie attempted to move the
court to proceed then and there with the
sales of land under mortgage, and as
signed to the aforesaid S. & N. w. by
the Farmers Bank of Snndtown To
all of these motions Judge Jim, true to
the long training he had received under
| the noted old Judge Barks, had repeat
edly said:
~ am in some measure the custodian
of the private interests of the parties to
all the proceedings in my court. In these
mortgage sales it has come to my knowl-
edge that the property will bring a
greatly enhanced price through another
bidder, who will certainly be in town,
as am informed, before In the after
noon" And although the sales had been
lawfully advertised for that day at 10
a. M, he had advised the sheriff not to
proceed with the sales until further no.

sale could be entertained in his court.
And, happily, at that day it could be

been entertained there.
