Richard, and probably was led on only by the
desire to give me something that l had admired:
All the same, as l thought it over in the train,
firmly decided to send the little box back as soon
as | had unpacked my trunk. But when started
do this realized that had not his exact address.
So decided to wait a few days until he back.
Now it happened that John did not return that
winter. A day or two after we left New York he
wrote that business had Unexpectedly called him
abroad. Before l could reply, he on the ocean.
OF course, | couldn't send the box to France; and

things almost required reply.

and about being delighted that | had not msunder

just the thing to twit me about that half kiss
that | threw him from the window. Really it
wasn't kiss at all, and so l didn't write to him,
when he sent a second letter sentimental
than the first and all the time wondering just
what John doing.
Well, at Easter Richard came to Boston, looking
rather thin He said he had been working like
dog; that is, he said this to Aunt Laura To me he
whispered that if l had written he would have
felt better and that it was who really had to make
explanations
The next evening had box party for Jessie

hose and short skirts the chief feature
At the close of the second act l could have shaken
Jessie when she leaned over and said in that loud
whisper that everyone always hears, How in
the world does she keep them up?" Before | could
answer, Richard looked at me in way that made
my heart go thump thump, as he said With silver
carriers, of course.
Jessie was so embarrassed that Richard had heard
her question, that her confusion covered mine
But thing saw clearly. Richard knew about
the box, and John the only one who could have
told him. This wasn't like John, and to think that
he had done SO gave me very bad night.
Strangely enough, the very next morning l had
letter from him. He had landed in New York and
wished to know if | would see him on Thursday
evening. From not writing | feel that there
may be explanations for me to make that perhaps
l ought to have made before l sailed" This was
all very well, and would have made me feel more

looked at me suspiciously. By this time had my

WEST SIDE SLUGGERS
DEFEAT CENTERV|LLE
Game at Boyd's Park Resulted
In II to 6 Score.

The West Side Sluggers easily tri-
umphed over Centerville Buckeyes at
base ball Sunday afternoon at Boyd's
park on the west side, the local young
sters piling up a score of IL on the
western county visitors, while the lat
ter had to be contented with lonely
6. Notwithstanding the score would
indicate anything else but good
game, it really had many noteworthy
features. The pitching of Kuhlen-
beck for the Sluggers was good, and
let the Centerville ball tassers down
with only four hits. Roberts of Cen
terville, was touched up lively at crit
zeal moments. and it was largely
through this that the local aggrega-
ton piled up its score. The game
was the second the local team has ia
ken from the west enders. Kuhlen-
beck and Thompson were the battery
for Richmond; Roberts and Moore, for
Centerville.

True to the predictions made last
week, the local live stock market has
taken tumble. Hogs dropped about
twenty-five cents on the hundred
pounds while calves dropped fifty
cents. When asked as to why the
markets were lowering, local dealer
said the supply of hogs on the market
is greater than it has been for several
weeks and it naturally follows that the
prices should tumble.
The wholesale quotation on coun-
try butter has also dropped two cents
on the pound, which is rather strange
when it is taken into consideration
that country butter is comparatively
scarce and has been since the cream

the Giants yesterday took into camp
the Ouigley and Babylon team by the
score of IA to 9. Schissler was in the
box for the @. & B. team while harris
served up slants for the Giants Both
were wild but effective. Had the
twirlers on the two teams been given
decent support the score would nave
been much lower. Nearly every run
scored in the game was the result or
fielding misplay. Schissler was touch

swats were good for extra bases Har-
ris held the O. & B. outfit down TO
five hits The feature of the game
was the playing of Schatell, left fieid-
er for the @. & B. team. He mace
spectacular running catch, put man
out at home plate by a beautlful
throw from deep left field and cracked
out a clean double.
The O. & B. team started the run,
making in the first inning. By scor-

tied things up then took long lead
in the fourth, seven runners chasing
across the home plate on a comedy or

If woman happens to get 'stung' with poor brand of tea or coffee or soap or anything else, she takes precious good care no other woman whom she can influence shall suffer from the same cause. In buying anything else women go on the prin- ciple that misery likes company, and allow their sisters to run into all kinds of errors they themselves have been guilty of But in the matter of buying groceries they treat each other like Christians. For that spirit of helpful ness the grocer usually pays. It is re- sponsible. for example, for all those packages of coffee over there In the corner being thrown on our hands. One woman tried sample.
