we'll his mind worked might be gathered
from the comments on his acts.
When he rose from the sea and looked
toward the vessels wake he saw the head

that her life lay in the moments till he

The Man.

On the Scoriac Harold An Wolf, now
John Robinson. kept himself aloof from
every one, making. but few of even the
casual acquaintances inevitable on ship
board. He sat all day long by himself
silent and alone. or else walked up and
down the great deck that ran from stem
to stern. The first four days of the jour-
ney were ideally fine.
Among the other passengers were two
American families Cyrus Dodd Watford

ter Mollie, returning from an extended
European tour. Miss Mollie was bright.
charming, impulsive. up-to-date American
girl, hitherto heart-whole. But the said
heart, now softened by prospects of re-
turning home. began to feel a tender In
terest in the handsome sad-browed young
giant who kept so to himself All the
little friendly sirlish Overtures which she
at first made were received with unfail-

rocated she became toward him what in
a girl Of less ample physical endowments
would be sulky, a mood in a pretty girl
most dangerous TO the peace of mind of
any Young man unprotected by previous
attachment But Harold had manifold
protection. Not only did love occupy the
citadel, but the thanking towers were held
by misery and despair. He waited I'M
consciously the penalty for his obtuse-
ness which Miss Mollie was preparing for
him when the time should have arrived.
The other American family consisted of

lgnace. Ont-The trapping season
has developed one tragic story Of
hardship. The tale comes from the far
belt, hundredo odd miles from the
north, and Is one of the most peculiar
brought here in recent years by woods
men.
Early in September Ben Hardy. an
old-ume trarper. took as his partner
FOR the season Hendy Sanford. a
short and stockily built oue-armed
man, who. in spite OF the fact that
he is crippled. is one of the best

The men established a camp about
halfway between Cat and Pach-Hoom
lakes. on the west bank OF the Cat
river. and set out line Of light and
heavy traps. From the first they were
successful. and had taken many fine

Sucks Poison from Hand Bitten by
ella Monster.

New York-Frank Gillian, an at
tendant at the Children's museum.
Bedford park. Brooklyn. is back at
work after six weeks in a hospital.
with the knowledge that he owes his
life 10 the promptness and bravery OF
Miss Mary Day Lee. formerly OF Rich
mond, Va.
Six weeks ago Gillian was cleaning
out the cage which Is occupied by the
ella monster in the museum when the
venomous reptile bit him. Its teeth
were buried in Gillian's hand. and he
was forced to pry its Jaws apart. Gill
Han at once bathed his hand in alco-
hol, and then Miss Lee laceTated the
hand with a sharp knife and, applying
her lips to the wound. sucked out
the poison. In spite OF her prompt
action Gillian's hand at once began TO
SVEN and he was rushed to a hos
pital, where he was forced to remain
for six weeks. The bite of the ella
monster is usually deadly and the
surgeons say it was only Miss Lees
promptness that saved Gillian's life.
Now the reptile is dying, not from
the effects of the bite. but because II
is unable to stand the cold northern
winter.

Cassidy was earning his pay in the
Edystone print works when his right
forearm became involved in an alter

the next moment it was squirting a
rudy fountain.

needle was threaded and placed IN his
left hand. Both needle and thread
were dipped in an antiseptic solution

the ugly wound until he closed IL. Then
he asked his friends TO rush him to a

In the attempt Before leaving he
placed a pot Of Cruel by Hardy's bunk
and said he would be back at sun
down.
But Sanford failed to return, either
at dusk or the following morning. and
Hardy became semi-delirious through
worry and lack OF nourishment He
was too weak 10 leave his bunk. and
all that day he lay hoping against
hope that his partner would enter the
cabin and end the terrible strain IN
der which he was lsboring. Night fell
with no signs OF Sanford. and Hardy
fell into a sleep brought Oh by ex-
hEustion.
The man was aroused before day
light next morning by voices. and next
instant two strangers opened the door
Of the cabin and entered. Few words
were wasted. Hardy explained briefly.

In the history OF the sport in Detroit
nothing less-is the verdict which
both contestants and spectators gave
as they filed out OF the Central High
gymnasium Friday afternoon, after
watching the girls from Western win

Both the teams have been working
hard for this encounter ever since
school opened last fall. The entire
student body OF each has been for tall.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 12.--After
months OF planning and dickering the
Athletics have landed a new catcher.
and next season Ira Thomas. the De
troit backstop. will be wearing an
Athletic uniform.
This news has not been given out
officially by any OF the Shibe-Mack
family. but the fact remains that the
deal has been put through and that
Connie Mack secured the player only
by putting up fat sum of money.
Trades we're talked of In connection
with the deal. and Connie offered sew
eral propositions. but they were all
turned down. the Detroit management
saying that they had enough players
at present.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1908-12-12

That put the matter on cash basis.
and as other clubs were looking for
catchers and might have forestalled
Mack. the latter finally agreed upon
terms with the Tigers.
President Frank j. Navln or the
Detroit Baseball club returned from
the league meeting Saturday morning
and was informed OF the above dis
patch.
That's not only premature. bu' It's
far from the truth as matters stand
at present" said he. There Is some
foundation. I'll admit. for story OF
that sort. though.
THE fact of the matter Is, Connie
Mack has simply got to get a catch
er. He offered me $4,000 for one OF
my new backstops and $4,000 for an
other at the league meeting. We
couldn't come TO any agreement.
though, from what l said, Connie may
think we did. or course, We have
four catchers on our list now and
won't need that many, though"
Though Mr., Navin wouldn't admit
It, the offers alluded TO were undoubt-
eddy for Stanage and Beckendorf.
Mack's desire TO get the men being
obviously great recommendation
for them.
In case Mack gets Thomas, he will
secure the hardest-hitting catcher In
big league baseball today, on the.
basis of the records, as well as a
very useful sort OF backstop and a
young man who should improve con-
siderably
