CHAPTER xxi.

Wher Kitty left Mrs. Pulchop's resi-
dence she had no very definite idea as to
what she was going to do with herself
Her sole thought was to get as far away
from her former life as possib.e-to dis
appear in the crowd and never to be heard
Of again. Poor little soul, she never for
a moment dreamed that it was a case of
out of the frying pan into the fire, and
that the world at large might prove more
cruel TO Ter than Vandeloup.
She went into town and wandered about
istiessly, not knowing where 70 60, till
nearly II o'clock, and the streets were
gradually empiying themselves of their
crowds. She knew there was q cab start
ing opposite the Town Hall which went to
Richmond, and determined TO &C home.

Kitty told him how she had left Bal

fail on him. But all the rest she told
freely, and how on that night she had

PULLED
down A Peg BY
The RED BIRDS

Hattiesburg turned the trick yes
terday afternoon.
The Red Birds took the last game of
the series with the Postals by score
of two to nothing!
They just had to win a game-and
they did it.
1t was a fast, snappy game all the
way through with not dull moment
from the opening of the first inning
to the close of the ninth.
The fans and the Red Birds are
friends again.
The line-ups of the two teams were
about the same as they had in the
two previous games. with the excep-
tion that Hattiesburg had Carter in
the Box and the Postals just couldn't
hit him. Carter certainly pitched a
fine game and the probabilities are
that il he had been in the box for the
other two games. in the same scondi-
eiS-A Az WesS JSotCIul} stllcIHOpIl, Vic
Postals would not have taken both
of them
Both teams played fine ball and
some pretty plays were made OH each
side, one of the sensational features
being the running catch made by Coch-
ran. when he took in a fly right off the
fence
All in all the game was a good one
and justified the faith of the fans in
the Hattiesburg outfit and everybody
left the grounds in cheerful mood
The Postals expressed themselves
as being highly pleased at the manner
in which the Hattiesburg boys enter
tanned them and will no doubt be glad
Of an opportunity to pay a return visit
to the city. "
When the Paiker-Blakes come up
for their whirl with the Red Birds they
will find the boys little better pre-
pared for them than they were for
the Postals, for it is understood that
there is going to be some hard work
done in the line of practice between
now and the date of their arrival, and
that won't hurt the boys a bit.
But-in the meantime don't forget
Hattiesburg won!

EGGS ARE MATCHED
while in TRANSIT
CHICKS in EVIDENCE

When it gets warm enough to hatch
eggs in transit. It's pretty hot.
The Pullen Produce Company, of
this city, is ready and willing to fur
nish ocular proof, backed up by affi-
.davits if necessary, Of two of their
employees as well as affidavits of the
purchasers who got chicks when eggs
were ordered
This is the story as told by Mr.. F. s..
Forester, the shipping clerk for the
above mentioned firm, who brought
the newly Matched chicks to the office
of the Daily News.
There were fifteen cases of eggs
shipped from Dyer, Tenn, day or
two ago. arriving here last night by
express and out of these fifteen cases
he sent one, by the delivery wagon
of the firm. to j. v. White, 724 Wal
nut street.
He was surprised to get a phone
message from the purchaser q little
later asking If there was any differ
ence in the price of eggs and chick
ems and after laugh at his expense,
explaining the matter 10 him
The driver also telephoned him that
all the eggs were turning out chickens
and to come quick.
He thought it a joke at first, but
finally went to the store and found
about "a dozen newly Matched chicks
"peeping" to beat the band These
were the "biddies" he brought to the
Daily News office on his way back
to the store.
This sounds little ''fishy" even if
it is chicken story, but visit to
the Pullen Produce Company's estab-
lishment will prove it true.
