CHAPTER IV.-contlnued.


Now I've been calling the place
where they had the races and so on
a field. Well, twa'n't really field, but
Just part of the course where they had
trotting matches on cattle show days.
There was a fence on each side of it
and across the ends of the section
they was using there was ropes
stretched. Back of the fences was the
crowd on foot, and back of the ropes
was more of 'em, but behind these
ropes likewise was lots of horses and
wagons and carry-alls and such. Every
wagon was piled full of people, and
amongst 'em / could see the Barry
coach, with the four gray steppers
prancing up and down in front of 1t
and old Commodore Barry and his son
on the front seat, with the women
folks behind.
Well, when that pig started he
made a straight course for the lower
end of the field, but the sight of the
horses and all scared him, guess, and
he jibed and back he come again. Half
a dozen of the pig-chasers-them that
was nearest to him when he come
about-ran into each other and piled
up in a heap, squirming like an eel
pot. They got up in a jiffy and
started over again, meeting the gang
that was coming back on the second
lap.
BY the time that pig had made
three laps round that course he was
q candidate for the hogs lunatic asy-
lum. Twice he'd been grabbed, once
by the ears and once by leg, but his
liveliness and the grease had got him
clear. About half the boys had given
UP the job, and was making for harbor
behind the fence; covered with sand
and grease, they was, and red and
ashamed. The crowd was pretty nigh
as crazy as the pig, only with joy.
Even Hartley was laughing out loud
first time I'd ever heard him.
That little chap with the red hair
had been right up with the mourners
till the third round; then he was stood
on his head in the scuffle and left be-
hind down by the ropes in front of
where the Barrys was. The rest OF
the chasers we're scattered around the
other end of the field, with the pig do
ing the grand right and left In and
out amongst their legs. One of the
boys-that big lanky one whose
cheeks needed mowing-made a flying
lump and dove head first right on top
of the critters shiny black back. In
a shake he was the underpinning, so
10 speak, of sort of monument of
boys, all lighting like dogs over a
woodchuck.
Next thing ] knew the pig shot out
from underneath the pile same as IL
he's been fired out of cannon. He
was squealing when he begun ia fly

NATIONAL INDOOR TENNIS.

New York, Feb. IO.-Practically
all the expert players in the country
have entered the National indoor
lawn tennis championships. 1t is ex-
pected that the finals will be decided
on Wednesday or Thursday.
Miss Elizabeth H. Moore, who won
the indoor title in the singles last
year will be required to play
through, as there will be no chal-
lenge match as was the old system.
The opening matches of the mems
championship tournaments which
VIII entirely separate from the wom-
ems meeting. will begin on the af-
ternoon Of Friday, Feb. 81. This is
several days later than on any pre-
vlous year of the tournaments. II is
believed that with Saturday, Feb.
%, that it will be possible for the
men to work through to the third
round OF both the singles and
doubles so that the following week
the players will not be unduly forced
TO play off a number OF matches un-
der adverse conditions. In both
events the champions of last year
Theodore r. Pel, in singles, and
Harold Fl. Hackett and Frederick p.
Alexander. in the doubles. will be
compelled to play through in order
to defend their titles.
President Cragin said that already
majority of the ranking men OF
the country had entered. There is
also a host of collegians. Their num-
Der will be augmented, as before the
mems indoor National the Seventh
K giment team Will meet teams rem
resenting Columbia. Princeton. Har-
ward, and the Boston Cadet corps on
the home courts Many Of the lead
ing players are practising in other
armories, and the eight days OF play
allotted TO the tournament are re-
gardei as none too many

the leading manufacturers of mo-
tor cars, accessories and motor

ton was opened today in the Light

A novelty never before seen at any

built by Detroit firm. The gyro-
scope is a device consisting of a
wheel which revolves in such way
as to preserve the equilibrium of the

SINECURES.

Senate attaches at Charleston are
thick as hops and the effort has been
made TO increase them still further.
President McDermott promised to re-
duce the number OF senatr attaches
this session. The journal of the sen
ate shows seventy persons on the at
tache payroll to serve the thirty
members of that body. The Hunting
ton Advertiser has catalogued few
Of the sinecures in the state senate :
There are thirteen committee
clerks. most of whom will have lit
tie TO do but smoke fat cigars and
figure on ways OF spending their per
diem. II requires no less than eight
able-bodiod men TO preserve order in
the senate chamber. to keep out Oh
jectionable persons. and to prevent
thieves from plundering the desks OF
M mbers. There is a sergeant-at-
arms and an assistant a door keeper
and three assistants, and dav
Waterman and night Waterman
Besides there are four cloak room
keepers, certainly enough to ward of
any raid on the garments of the n
ators. Does anybody seriously dis
pute the facts that the policing OF
the chamber could be done with half
the force and half the expense to
tn state?
The clerk of the senate has %
assistants, and he is praised by
members and the press Of the state
for his wonderful efficiency. If he
merits communication. it would seen
that the explanation should be made
that he performed his work we'll in
spite of the fact that he bumped
against assistant clerks at every
turn.
President Joe McDermott may
have meant we'll when he made his
promise of economical reform. but II
he did it is apparent that he failed
