good and hot The thing that would clinch the whole business would be if you could go out of your head, talk crazy, you know. But be sure and do 1t so Aunt Rachel will write us by the 18th not to come out. as you may have something. Act 1t well and I'll give you my new camera the next time I see you"
 You can imagine what Willie's scheme was from the above extract from his letter, and, though in the short space allowed for this story we may not make the acquaintance of his clever cousin. we may be sure that Violet acted her part well. for on the morning of the goth. just as Mrs. Batten and Willie were starting for the station (and Willie was by that time getting pretty anxious) a note arrived from Aunt Rachel, which put an end to the projected journey.
 Willie announced that he would at once write to Violet and tell her how sorry he was that she was ill He did go upstairs and he did scribbie four words all over a sheet of note paper. You are a brick" Then he sealed his letter up and went to the corner to mail 1t.
 That was the last Mrs. Batten saw of Willie until late that afternoon.
 Of course. about luncheon time she began to grow anxious. ar1s when Mir. Batten returned from the office, sur prised at finding her at home, she told him her worst fears-that Willie was staying out so that he might go and see the baseball game.
 MT. Batten said: Well, what of it3 Surely he may look at a game
 MOTHER SEES THE GAME
 His wife. finding him so unsympa- thetio with her views. refused to go to the beach with him, and after a while feeling rather lonely with both husband and son out. she decided to go and see the game. Besides. she had a sneaking desire to see that willie's school won.
 Consternation struck e group of No 45 sympathizers when they saw Mrs. Batten approaching the "bleachers." Luckily, though. they found she had not discovered Willie in the captains 6 uniform, but was only looking for him among the spectators.
 Very obligingly they told her how matters stood. and admitted that 45 was getting the worst of it. They even insinuatingly hinted that if Willie had been allowed to remain in the team there would have been a different story to tell.
 This rather bothered Mrs. Batten, and she began to feel that if No. 45 lost 1t would be her fault. She looked about for Willie rather irrttably.
 Surely. she thought. ''as loyal member of the school he ought to be there, at least, to inspire by his pres ence."
 When the young Wretohes. who knew very well that 45 was winning. perceived the effect they had had upon Mrs. Batten, they proceeded to groan at every fresh victory of the school. and finally Burt Coonabs cried out:
 If only Willie was pitching"
 Mrs. Batten grew more and more anxious; she could not see the faces of the players very we'll and she didn't know much about baseball. besides they were all very dirty The sun shone straight in her eyes and she was getting angrier with the boys of No. 15 every minute.
 Finally Burt Coombs cried out again:
 "oh. dear! oh. dear! If Willie were only here"
 With that Mrs. Batten jumped upon one of the bleachers. waved her para

For time following the accident
there was considerable excitement
aboard the yacht, but the ladies were
assured there was no danger and the
vessel was backed to her dock, where
the party disembarked without further
adventure Both yacht and tugboat
were more or less damaged. The i'm
preston Is that the engineer misun'
derstood an order to reverse his en-

in the collision. The racing launch OF

fact that the yacht was not proceed

fortunate, as otherwise the damage

San Francisco, MAY 5.-The outlook
In the labor situation here Is not par
ticularly bright and no chance for an
immediate settlement Of any of the
questions now involved is at present
apparent. The telephone strike has
crippled the service and the whole
system has practically come to a
standstill The operators are now Sc
curing support from all directions and
1t Is feared that the linemen will go
out on q sympathetic strike, which
will still further complicate the situa-
ton. In the case of the emergency
hospitals 1t has been found necessary
to dispatch mounted police to act as
messengers and general business has
been seriously affected.
The ironworkers are still firm In
their demands and the proposition for
a settlement by artitation has now
been abandoned owing to the negative
position taken by the trades council.

IMPRISONED IN ICE FIELDS
Three Large Atlantic Liners Unable to

Halifax, N. S., May 6.-Three large
transatlantic liners are believed to be
imprisoned in the vast ice fields that
completely block Cabot strait between
Newfoundland and Cape Breton and
other lines In the Montreal and st.
Lawrence service have been forced to
land passengers and freight in TINS
port after Intellectual attempts to
pierce the impenetrable barrier.
The Allan line steamer Sardinian,
from London and Havre for Montreal,
which was forced into this port to land
her 600 passengers, reports that I'M
bedded In the ice fields are two large
steamers. the Allan liner Ontarian and
Dominion liner Vancouver. The Allan
line steamer Ionian is also believed
to be fast in the ice. The fields stretch
across Cabot strait for distance of
little over fifty miles and to add to
the dangers of navigation a thick fog
hangs over the coast.

Wreckers Said to Have Had Designs

Geneva, May 6.-The overheating OF
an axle compelling the removal of a
car from the train on which King Ed
ward was travelling to France is de-
clared by newspapers here to have
been probably an attempt to wreck
the train. Before entering the Simp-
lon tunnel the train was stopped as
measure of precaution at Sion and 1t
was found that grease box on one OF
the axles was missing. The train
had been running at the rate of 100
kilometers ali hour and the axle was
white hot If the train had gone a
few miles further the axles might
have fused and the cars would then
have been derailed, 1t Is said that the
bolts and pins securing the box had
been deliberately removed. An In
quiry was Immediately begun.
