HARLAN SAVES COLUM-
alra.f BUS. an

Last Sunday at Scammon, the
Scammon and Columbus teams
played ball again, and but for
the pitching of Harlan of this
city Columbus would have suffer-
ed another crashing defeat. The
Columbus team is made up of
players who have been with the
Western Association, Iowa State
League and Missouri Valley
League. Those organizations
are out of business for this sea-
son, and when the boys got home
the Scammon team challenged
them to play ball. The challenge
was accepted, and one week ago
last Sunday the first game was
played. resulting in a defeat for
the leaguers. Harlan of this city
pitched for Scammon, and his
work was more than the league
pitcher, Aitchison could overcome.
Last Sunday the second game
was played, and again Columbus
started into the game with Aitch-
ison in the box. In the first in
ming Scammon made two runs
and in the second made three.
Then it was that Aitchison was
retired and Harlan substituted.
And then it was that the game
took on a different aspect. Har-
Ian only allowed two hits made of
him in the seven innings he
pitched, and he saved the game
for Columbus by score of 9 to 8.
Perhaps little credit should
be given Pike Mays of the Col
umbus team, who played short.
But it was Harlan and Mays who
won the game for Columbus.

The listener behind the transom didn't think
so, either; but he thought that the robbers
would have cause to complain before they
were many hours older.
A double duty had by this time presented
itself to the young Communicating recapture
of the yacht and the apprehension OF the burg
lars. He did not doubt that both would be
effected sooner or later, and he already had
plan for expediting the event.
Ricketts, undid the bags and counted the
coin. while his confederates were gong over
the pile of bank-notes to satisfy themselves
that the first count was correct.
The bags contained silver, at which every
body expressed great disappointment. The
amount contained failed to raise the sum to-
tai of the robbers illgotten gains to nine
thousand dollars.
'Still, we've got no license to kick" said
Digby, who had at first been the loudest in
his expressions of discomfort. Here's pref
ty near two thousand dollars apiece. I'm sat
isfed."
And so each and every member of the band
finally declared himself.
Digby next proposed that the money be di-
vided forthwith.

and we may get the worst of it. There amt

Ricketts, closed the ward d-room door behind

hensive look all about the room.
You needn't be afraid" said Digby, OBJ
serving him. "There's Just ten of em in the
crowd, and they're all on deck. We can talk
without them hearing anything"
Ricketts, appeared to be satisfied: The rob
bers had either forgotten about the prisoner
in the state-room or they purposed to ignore
him.
