TERRY M'KUNE
COMING BACK

The Indians lineup may be
strengthened within a few days by
the addition OF Terry McKune, the
fast little shortstop who went from
here to st. Paul last year and who
is now with Seattle. Terry got in
with bad bunch at Seattle and
got out Of shape. Quinn believes
that Terry, surrounded by a gen.
tlemenly crowd OF players like the
Indians, will take brace. He is
a remarkably fast shortshtop and
good batter. Terry can play any
infield position as well. He Is
troubled considerably with weak
ankles but by using him occasion
ally he will get along all right.
Dave Rowan Is said to have been

Somewhere In Russia an automo.
bile-the Thomas car in the New
York to Paris race-is being driven
at break-nick speed by Driver
Schuster, newly found speed de-
mon, over the last lap of the Jour-
ney to Paris.
That Schuster will win the race
is practically conceded because of
the 80 days allowance given the
Thomas.
This was on account of the con-
cessions granted the German Pro-
tos car in America.
A mad dash between Schuster
and Lieut.. Koeppen. driver of the
Protos, is sure to take place in the
final leg of the journey.
Schuster Is the talk of tho
d world now in automobile circles.
His drive through widest Siberia
has made him famous
Before the New York to Paris
race he was unknown to motorists.
AS master mechanic of the Thomas
factory in Buffalo, N. Y, he had
only local reputation, which in.
creased when he accompanied
Monty Roberts from New York to
Cheyenne as mechanician.
But from the moment Schuster
took the wheel at Cheyenne to
drive the car through to Paris, his
fame spread.

with a meeting at the corner OF
the country church, and moon

Then occasionally he would call
for her on Sunday evenings. The
Carriers laughed at it as boy and
girl affair.
Finally Irwin Carter noticed that
Bagby did not enter the church
with his sister, but that they either
sat in the buggy or walked about
outside. When he took Bagby to
task the latter replied that it was
his business, and the boys fought
on the spot. Then Beulah's par
ents sought to interfere.
Still the youthful lovers met in
secret Eventually Bagby began
slipping over to the Carter home
late at night and rousing the girl
by tapping on the window of her
room. 1t was Romeo and Juliet

betrayed their secret. When this
letter was shown her the girl
broke down and confessed. Tom
had promised to marry her, she
said.
A family council was held at
which Beulah was compelled to tell
her story George Harris, Beulah's
uncle, declared that Bagby must
die. The Carriers assented, lEar'

watch was set. Despite this the
