The Daily Short Story

motionless as a statue, his eyes di-
latinS as though he were gazing
upon an apparition. Quickly recov-
ering himself, he cast glance
upon Antonio, whose face grew
livid at his complete detection. The
young man forgot his own danger
and burst forth in an earnest APP
peal for Antonio, who stood as one
completely dazed.
A few words from my friend
served to relieve the situation, and
we found that the young man was a
fugitive from France. He had de-
serted frmo the army, where he
had served two years. The case
was pathetic. His sweetheart, An
nette, was taken dangerously i'll

ing she was going to die Pierre
had gone to her home at the risk
Of his own life. This desperate
measure had been refused by his
officers.
AS soon as Annette was stronger
Pierre decided to leave the coun.
try, but where to go was a ques-
ton. He gradually worked his way
to Genoa, and, knowing that An
tonic. an old friend. was not far
away. had looked him up. An
tonic had concealed him in the
deserted chapel. The soldier had
been there two weeks when we
discovered his hiding place.
Through the efforts of my friend
and his wife, Annette's parents
were prevailed upon to send the
girl to Italy to be married. The
day of her arrival was an event to
Pierre. He and Annette sobbed on
each others necks while express
sions of affection were mingled In
indistinct murmurs Without de-
lay they were married. and we gave
them great wedding feast in the
big old dining room. 1t was only
a short while after that they sail
ed for America, carrying letters to
some of our friends In New York.

BASEBALL
OUTLOOK

Eddie Quinn, the new manager of
the Spokane professional baseball
team, last night said that net be-
fore two weeks at the least will
he be able to hand the fans any
thing in the way of dope" He
has plans for next season, but Ed
die never was much on "tootin' is
'Orn" before he knew what tune
was to be footed" If anyone can
make success of the team it is
Quinn. AS manager of the Spo-
kane Amateur Athletic club he was
a great success, principally because
he never was troubled with a
chronic ailment of some managers
known as "swelled head. In his
management of the "profesh" ball
team Eddie intends to take the fans
into his confidence. He says that
with he and the fans pulling for a
good team there'll be nothing to it
but a good time all season.
Although professional baseball
is not particularly Fddie's line of
business, he is foremost a man
ager," and a good manager who
knows his business can make al
most anything go.

A SOLDIER LOVER

In a trip abroad in search of
health | found myself one day in
the company of an old friend, who
insisted upon my spending few
months with him in the Riviera.
The palace he had taken was fur
nished deliberately. On the first
floor was a chapel separated from
the main building by dreary, dim
ly lighted hall.
AS l was strolling through the
lower floor of the house one after
noon in October | opened the
chapel door, and as did so heard
a movement. Suddenly a shadow
darkened the narrow beam of
light that fell from the only win
dow in the wall My first impulse
was to call out, but I kept silent,
and after carelessly glancing
around for moment, walked out
and shut the door behind me.
When my friend returned from
his drive told him Of my discov-
cry, but he said 1t was all magma
ton.
Determined to solve the mystery
the next afternoon, took Antonio.
my friends servant. gave him a
lantern and putting revolver into
my pocket started again for the
chapel. AS we approached the
door Antonio talked very loudly.
asserting over and over that there
was nobody within. Going inside
we looked thoroughly. but found
nothing.
Next day my friend and watch
ed Antonio, and saw him carrying
food to the chapel. Cautiously we
followed and after a few minutes
opened the door and found him
talking to as handsome a young
man as one would care to see. The
change that came over the strang.
ers face as we stood there was
startling. He popped to his feet
instantly and stood for O moment

some fish. His sensitive stomach
refused this.
Hansen remained on the island a
day and then with a quiet sea
ahead of him started to make 1t
back to Unimak island.
The task was a hard one, for
his frozen feet made it almost i'm.
possible for him to walk or move
about in his little boat. His hands
were in such shape that he could
not hold the ropes attached to the
sail or work the oars that might
take him back to his fellows.
This was his fifth day out.
On the sixth he neared the Cape
Sarichef light.
Another storm broke and then
he became almost a raving maniac.
For three days the little craft
with it's insane passenger tossed
and turned, sped this way and that
and then-the rescue came.
He was taken to the lighthouse,
where for days he lowered between
lift and death.
He recovered sufficiently to be
placed aboard a vessel returning
to this port, after weeks of agony
Now he is here, crippled for life,
but thanking his Maker that he
was rescued from almost certain
death at the eleventh hour.

SUESBURGLARfOR
DAMAGES

PORTLAND, Nov. John Wolf,
farmer, has taken a unique way of
getting even with a burglar and
has sued him for $1400 damages
for an injury to his finger received
during the struggle which preceded
the capture.
The farmer was about to turn
him over to the police when the
burglar offered him a large sum of
money to turn him loose, Upon
discovering that the marauder was
wealthy as burglars go, the farmer
decided that it would be better to
resort to civil procedure.

he must marry before the first of

the only lady he would marry was
Peruvian widow. The barrister
seeks to do away with all obstacles
to the plans of both and marries
Kitty to the baronet "for a time"
in order to comply with the terms
of the will, thinking to undo the
mischief after it is done by an
other subterfuge as clever as the
first. The conclusion is said to be
as humorous as anything seen on
