All at once a gleam of satisfaction shone
over his swarthy features, and with cautious
steps he approached the bed.

and struck him full in the face with its en-
venomed fangs.
The robber staggered heavily backwards,

what he was about, he dropped the knife
and made for the door.

with violence that for the moment left him

The robber was at once secured, but he

Willie Anderson came with the report of

asked.

T~ 1RIPPLE WAITE, as they called
IL him, was a smart, clever boy, genial
and ,contented, which was surprise
IEREII to some, as he had to go about on
crutches. and could not enter into
sports which other boys enjoyed so
heartily.
He was great base bal! enthusiast. and
though he could not engage in the recreation,
he could look on, and there wasn't hoy in
the town better posted on the rules of the
game than he was. He was frequently selected
as umpire; and he was so quick, correct and
impartial in his decisions that very little
kicking" was indulged in. He was an ad-
herent of boys club known as the Alerts,
and they never made any important move
without first consulting him.
A game had been arranged between the
Alerts and another amateur club called the
Hard Hitters, belonging to an adjoining town.
Waite had been prevented from going with
the club, and he felt disappointed about it.
His disappointment was mitigated, however,
partisans of the Alerts, and who, like Waite,
had been forced to remain at home.
81 am afraid our club is going to be beaten
this afternoon" Joe Benson said.
"Why do you think SOP" asked Waite.
"0ur catcher's hands are pretty sore," re-
piled Joe. "The Hard Hitters have borrowed
two, of the best players from the Westgrove
Club"

another of the boys.
"And then they are such terrific batters,"
resumed Joe.
"What if they are?" cried Waite. at
will take them five OF six innings to find
Shorty's ball"
Shorty was the pitcher for the Alerts. He
was Wattie's brother, and his real name was
Percy, but he was called Shorty because he
was SO small and thick-set.
"He's built like Modoc engine-low down."
the boys used to say
He was famous local pitcher, and no
wonder his brother Waite was proud over
it.
'We've come to spend the afternoon with
YOU, Waite" Joe Benson said 1--WE know
how bad you feel because you can't go, and
I've arranged, solely for your sake, to have
the result of every inning sent us"
"But how?" asked Waite.
The game was being played at Birchville,
which was five miles away, and there was
no communication by telegraph or telephone;
the two places were not even connected by a
ut doesn't matter how" replied Joe, with
shrug. ut is known that the score can be
seen here, and half the boys of the town will
likely come to have peep. at it. Get me a
piece of red chalk, Waite"

ooh, that's a mistake!" cried one of the
boys
Joe Benson, what are you giving us?" cried
another.
Boys, it's straight" insisted joe
"The game is lost" declared Sam Perkins.
They've got our fellows ratified"
"They can't rattle Shortly" cried Waite.
"But they've found his ball." reminded Sam.
-Four runs the first inning"
That's So" slowly admitted Waite. MAY
be he isn't pitching If he is, he'll try that
other curve on them"
Soon .afterward, Willie Anderson appeared
again The score for the second inning read
"Alerts, O; Hard Hitters, o."
That's better!" cried several.

"It seems they didn't find Shortys ball very
much this time" Waite said.
"Ah! but our boys are not finding their
pitchers ball very much, either" reminded
Sam Perkins. "We've been whitewashed in
both innings"
A great shout went up when the third in
ming was registered. 1t stood:
"Alerts, 5; Hard Hitters, o.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-31

and the conversation occurred outside of the
shop. Into the latter Waite hobbled, and
soon returned with the chalk. Joe drew u
fair imitation of blank score card on the
wide door.
1t wasn't very artistically done, to be sure,
and he was .excusable for spelling Alerts with
large CA"
Yes, the boys must have known, for very
soon a, dozen of them came in sight. They
lounged around the shop and talked noisily
and every now and then glanced toward the
score. as if they expected the figures to ap-
pear in some miraculous way.
Say, Joe. what sort Of funny business is
this?" asked Waite. There's been an in
ming played before this"
Likely there has" assented Joe. "We'l
soon know, you can just bet!" y
A few minutes later, Willie Anderson came
running up. He was the son of the richest
man in town, but as he never put on any airs
he was very generally liked.
"Well?" Joe significantly said, as he stepped
up to Willie.
"Joe, give me the chalk" Willie rejoined
almost out of breath.
He took the chalk and wrote down the
score, whereupon great uproar followed
among the boys. The score read:

possess the coveted article, he
purloined forty cents worth |. of
mutton from the wagon OF Mr.,
Masterson, who lives on the Edgar
place in Russellville, as it was
standing in front of Grandhomme's
saloon, shortly after dark on the
evening named. Masterson soon
missed the meat, and several per-
sons who had seen Casteel take
something out of the wagon, re-
ported the matter. The officers
repaired to Casteel's home in the
south end of town and reused him
from his slumbers. He denied
any knowledge of the sheeprmeat
and the officers started with him
to jail. On the way to the bastile,
however, he showed where the
meat was hidden and was per-
mitted to go home. Monday a
warrant was sworn out against
him, and, on being arraigned be-

and was fined $40 and costs.
