 Now it came to pass that certain Of the people were gathered together in Heights. and a great concourse of pub |tllcans, scribes. tlliers of the soil, money changers ana others of the populace, were gathered there also to watch that they did. And at the appotued hour those who were to do the thing that the throng had come to watch arose and moved about the field, calling one to the other. And a certain centurion clad in blue raiment who ever held be- fore him a wash board, spake these words, saying:
 sBattries fuh today's game. savige and o.Leary for the visitors; Guese and Hart for the home ciupbatterrup."
 And they of the home club got them out in cir several positions in the held and stopped their bodies over e ud picked up small handfulis of sand and tossed them in the air. And unto them the Memphii sent one of their number. who spat upon his hands and wiped them. on his raiment, and then seizing ,s srSat Sn.. club stroae out alone agait.st
  seeing hIm coming, making war mcdi- cine with the great clun, picked up a missile. smooth and round and white, and hurled if at the champion of the Mernphii; but 10! the champion fell upon it and smote 1t lustily so that 1t struck the pedal extremities of one whom the multitude called short, and, verify Of surety he was short, sh ort on accuracy and . lot of other littlo
 And the champion of the Memphii gathered up his raiment and fed, but coming to . Montgomery man stopped tain station. And after him there came the Centurion Babb. who did make of himself an offering that his compatriot might proceed even fur. Baerwald. and at him also did Guesc heaye nightly. but It nlattered not. for clubsand. smiting one with great sd st slsnt ts sts hcS S sas to shss
 And after BearwalA there came Cranstop. who belabored the white mis- slles with . great violence, so that t end sped on unto one who was far from the others at great distance. And seeing the danger passed and fearing not Guese, whuse missile had been belabored afar. Murphy and Bear wald came back to the place from whence they had started. and there was much rejoicing in their camp.
 But those others who followed them smote half heartedly at the missile so that it went but short distance and the Montgomery people gathered up the sphere and hurled 1t to the first ststion ;Srd and the men If the Msmph AFnittng the missile, were afraid to go unnrined to that station and went back to their camp with long faces, ashamed to look at the eyes of the Centurion
 Ana seeing this, BaLb ordered his men into the field and the multitude expected battle would arise. but To! those who had been in the field, sec- the safety of their tent, and there tossed epithets and taunting words at the MenIphii. and one of them seized a club, even as the MeThphii had done, the. missile the Mehnphii chose to throw .fs.i ss
 But Persons, who had gone out wiih the club so boldly, treHlbied as he gazed into the eyes of the barbarian Savige. who hurled his sphere with long dis tended claws, and Persons only allow. ed the club to touch the missile and then ran with a great speed to the station that the Memphii had also gone to. which seemed sort of city of ref uge when one was at 1t. none could molest hims< although at those who tried 10 teach this place many missiles by the missiie surrendered and the cen. turion with the washboard would al- low none to moIest them further.
 How the Game Went.
 But iersons was smitten with. the Memphii. and be was cast aside as having perfsiled And after him there came Hopkins, who smote so valiantly asant s gse tsst ssn ess From faF Iii. heard iaSors s lungs. but although he belabored the missile 1t was stopped and cast ahead of him to the station. And Reagan. who also tried his skill against the missile, snote 1t backward far Into the air so that 1t appeared a shy speck and one of the Memphii pranced about beneath t looking ever upward until he seized 1t in its downward flight. and Req gan was allowed to depart in peace by the centurion in the blue raiment.
 Again the combatants changed posi- was lord of the field, but Guese had taken his missile to a sorcerer while he was resting and had spell cast upon it. so that those who smote' 1t belabor 1t. but none reached the city of refuge.
 And it came to pass, that once again the eombstants- exchanged their. posi-. tions and Gremiuger chose a club of great price and kissed the end of 1t and put earth on his head. and taking heart strode out to do battle. and he hit with a great violence unto one who was near him and he who put his person before the missile was hit by 1t in the stomach so that he bent over and cried aloud wi'h great and bitter cry. and Greminger needing not the hurt he had inflicted. sat him In the city of refuge and made merry with the multitude who. lifting up their voices. acclaimed him a hero.
 And seeing these things Perry did make of himself a libation to his friend and sent him on to yet another city of refuge And Rockenfleld. seeing the man who had been smitten in the stom- ach still In pain, snfote him also and reached the first city and Greninger gat him on yet to another. And sec ing the way clear Perry did an evil thing. for the multitude, calling upon him to inappropriate. sped on and possessed himself of another city. And the Memphii warrior who got the mis- siles after the were thrown by Savlge. waxed wroth at the, stealing and hurl- ed 10 kill ahim, and To. the missile passed on even unto those who were the utternl ost from the scene of battle. and Gremlnger. fearing not the un- armed enemy strode home amid the plaudits of the multitude. He could have staid in the third city where he was safe and watched closer that which happened. but preferred coming back to the tents of his people there to rest
 Nothing More Doing.
 But those who followed. perished by being smitten with the white missile in the hands of the enemy. and seeing them in great trouble the Centurion them a iy,
