SAM CRAwFoRD's STORY.

Big Sam Crawford of the Detroit club
is a barber by profession. He halls from
way out in Nebraska, and cherishes the
memory of once having lathered and
shaved William Jennings Bryan. But
before Sam went into the barber bust
ness he worked in a glue factory.
When the Detroit cluD was last in
Washington the players were sitting
around their hotel lamenting the
threatened rain and chattering of va
rious things.
THE first time / began playing ball
for money" said Sam Crawford, 81 re-
ceived only half dollar game, and
thought l was well paid at that, for
money was tight in my part of the
country"
who gave you all that money, Sam"
laughingly inquired Ty Cobb, who re-
ceives five thousand for six months
work.
why, l was working in a glue fac
tory at the time" replied Crawford,
and the manager or the joint was
bugs on base ball, and gave each
member OF the club fifty cents for each
game we played"
WAS it a good team?' asked Cobb.
"Well, the team wasn't much of an
outfit" drawled Sam, as he warily
glanced about in the direction of the
nearest exit, but as we all worked in
the glue factory we stuck together
pretty we'll"
And then Sam ducked.

NO SENTIMENT
AMONG PLAYERS

There is no sentiment among active
ball players But how different after
player has passed up the game for
several years, for then be becomes as
full of sentiment as an egg of meat
and nothing gives him more pleasure
than to meet his old comrades Of the
ball field for social chat or smile with
the old fan who recites some of his
successful stunts ON the ball field long
since forgotten by the ex-star of the
diamond.
The player in harness is busy watch
ing every move on the base ball check
er board. He must to keeu up his end
and if he is a serious man he is obliged
to lead a temperate life to give his best
service and hold his position. With
the difficult problems before him the
ball player is rare who can take mat
tiers lightly and grow sentimental. How
different after he has thrown off all
connection with the game. Players
with whom he fought tooth and nail on
the field have become MS best friends,
for there is absolutely no jealousy be-

THEY LOVED LEVER.

Charlie Lever, the steady and re-
liable pitcher of the Pittsburg club,
was once a country school teacher. He
was noted for his strict adherence to
the spare the rod, spoil the child"
principle, and the howls that some
times issued from his temple of learn
ing were frequent and piercing.
One of his worst pupils, when it
came to outguessing him, was a little
curly-haired chap, who lisped when he
talked, and who was always made to
stand up aud ''show off" for the edi-
fication of visitors.
One day the board of trustees came
around to look things over and one Of
them selected the lisping tyke to an
swer his questions.
'Do you like your teacher, Willie?'
he asked.
"Yes-s-s-r," said Willie.
'And why do you like your teacher?"
Because" lisped Willie, the Bible
says that we must love our enemies"

by the wheels is sucked.

Tomorrow Night.

An attempt will be made tomor-
row Saturday night to organize 4
band, the boys having come to the
conclusion, that in order to hold its
own as the leading city Of the Mus
selshell, Roundup must needs
hs,s, a musical organization Of the
brass variety. There is an abund-
ance Of musical talent in town to
draw from and from present
indications if appears that we will
be having public band concerts ere
long. Most Of the boys who have
been approached On the subject are
enthusiastic over the project and are
doing everything to make it IA sue
cess.
Every musician and others interest
ed in things musical are requested
to be present at Il meeting in At
torney Thompson office tomorrow
evening at s o'clock to talk over the
proposition and to form an organiz-
alton.
Nothing instills life into a town
quite as much as band and it is
to be hoped that the boys will re-
ceive every encouragement in their
cndeavor to perfect an organ
ization.

TOlloWlIlS clOscIv upon the neelS
Of the joyous festivities Of the 4th
Of July, Roundup was east into a
shadow Of gloom shortly before
noon Monday when three young
men employed at the Republic coal
mine were badly scaldcd by the
busting Of a IT" connecting three
ten inch steam pipes. The men
were employed in joining pipes in
the new engine house with pipe
chains when without any warning
whatever a 'T' Joint connecting
the big ten-inch pipes with the new
battery Of boilers, burst within six
feet Of where they were working en-
veloping them in a cloud Of kissing
steam and scalding them unmerci-
fully before they could retreat from
the scene Of danger.
Ralph Atkinson, who was burned
the worst, was caught in position
where he had to bear the full brunt
Of the escaping steam. His entire
face, shoulder and arms were scald-
ed and at first it was thought tina.
his condition was serious. It is
now thought, however, that he. as
well as the rest. will recover.
Bert burlington was hit on the
right leg by some flying missile
braising it ard compelling him to
crawl to safety holding his hat in
frcnt of his face to protect it from
the steam. The burns he sustained
are on the left side of the face and
the arms and legs.
Thd third member of the unfort-
unate trio, David Thomas, was
rendered almost unconscious by be-
ing hit in the abdomen, but, keep
ing together his senses, managed to
reach safety. lie was scaldcd ON
the back besides suffering much
pain after the accident caused by
the nature Of his injury in the ab-
domen. Thomas had only been
working at the mine about a
week.
Immediately after the accident
the injured men were removed to
the company hospital and given all
possible attention. They are get
ting along nicely at this writing
and it is not thought that any OF
the cases will result fatally, altho
they may retain permanent scares
from the burns.
The real cause OF the accident
has not yet been asccrtained altho
several theories have been advanced
to explain the accident. There was
evidently no flaw in the IT" and
as the joint had withstood steam
pressure Of 100 pounds the day be.
fore. it follows that its bursting un-
der a pressure of SO pounds mus
have been caused by some Other
agent.
It is impossible to picture thu
distress caused by the news OF the
misfortune as the young men arc
well and favorably known aroune
town, numbering their friends by
the scoie. Everything possible i:
being done by their fellow workmel
and townspeople to relieve thei
sufferings. and it is earnestly hoppe
that they will soon be around again

and late ia the afternoon watching
from wide apart outlooks on the ridge.
They made long jaunts up the brook
valley where the smoke sign had been
seen, they found where this half-breed
had built a'1re here, and later another
lair, a mile from the cabins and in this
ridge. Long detours they made in
other directions. Old Tomah's trail in
the forest was crossed; but neither in
forest 10 on lake shore were any re-
cent footprints of the half-breed found.
Old ones were discovered in plenty.
An almost beaten trail led from his
lair in the ridge to a revas back of
the cabins, but to n well versed in
wood tracks, it was easy to tell how
old these tracks were.
A freshly made trail in the forest
bears unmistakable evidence of its
date, and no ~woodwise man ever o
POUNDS a two or three days old one
with it. One footprint may not deter
mine this occult fact; but followed
to where the moss is spongy or the
earth moist, a matter of hours, even,
can be decided.
A week of this watchfulness, with
no sign Of their enemy's return, not
even to within the circuit patroled
time and again, began to relieve sus-
pense and awaken curiosity. They
had been so sure, especially Martin,
that he would come back for revenge,
that now it was hard to account for
his not doing so.
my idee is he got so skeered at
them two Shots" Old Cy asserted, "he
hain't stopped runnin' yit." And then
the old man chuckled at the ludicrous
picture of this pernicious "varmint"
scampering through a wilderness from
fright.
But Old Cy was wrong. 1t was not
fear that saved them from a prompt
visitation from this half-breed, but
lack of means of defense. The one
shot remaining in his rife at the mo
ment Of meeting had been sent on it's
vengeful errand, all the rest of his
ammunition was in his canoe, and now
on the bottom of the stream. Being
thus crippled for mean to act, the
only course left to him was a return to
his cabin rs miles away, with only a
hunting-knife to sustain life with.
He lived to reach his hut on the Fox
Hole, and from that moment on, this
wilderness held an implacable enemy
of McGuire's, sworn to kill him, first
of all.

half.breed'S lust and cunning were as
the fall of the leaf. Were it needful
he would, as he had, plunge through
bramble and brier and leap over rock
and ehasn to rescue his big pappoose,
but now that she was safe again, he
lapsed into his stoical reserve once
his taste than all the pathos of human
life; and while his eyes kindled at
Chips smile, his thoughts were follow
ing some storm or tempest sweeping
oyer a vast wilderness, or the rush
and roar of the great white spectre.
"Chip is good girl" he said to Angie
the next morning, "and white lady
love her. Tomah's heart is like squaw
heart, too; but he go away and forget.
White lady must not forget" and with
that mixture of tenderness and stole
ism he strobe away, and the last seen
Of him was when he entered the out
let without once looking back at the
cabin where his "big pappoose" was
kept.
More serious, however, were the
facts Martin and Hersey now had to
consider, and a council of war, as 1t
were, was now held with Levi, Old Cy
and the deputy as advisers.
What the h~alf-breed would now do,
and in what way they could now cap
ture him were, of course, discussed,
and as usual in such cases, 1t was of
no avail, because they were dealing
with absolutely unknown quantities.
He was now at large in this wilder
ness, knew where the girl and his enc
mics were, and as Hersey said, HE
had the drop on them"
II believe in standing by our guns"
that officer continued, after all these
conclusions had been admitted. 1--WE
are here to rid the woods Of this
scoundrel. We have five good rifles
and know how to use them. The law
is on our side, for he refused to sur
render, and returned our shots; and
if l catch sight of him, 1 shall shoot
to cripple, anyway"
Old Cy's advice, however, was more
pacific.
my notion is this feller's a coward
ly cuss," he said, "a sort O. human
hyena. He'll never show himself in
the open, but come prowlin' round
nights, stealin' anything he can. He
may take a pop at some on us from
atop O. the ridge; but I callate he'll

EnMIs in the Orchard.

The orchard is a very good place in
which to keep fowls, and there is no
reason why poultry yards should not
be extended to take in. a large area of
orchard. Usually the trees shade the
ground too much to make any kind of
a crop profitable, and this shade is
just what the fowls need in the sum-
mer time. Their droppings are a great
assistance to the trees, especially if
the land is not too rich, The farm
ers that have combined orcharding
with poultry raising claim, to have
found it profitable, and there is no
reason why it should not be more SO.
The only drawback generally is that
the orchard is not sufficiently we'll
fenced to keep in the fowls, but 1T will
cost no more to fence in a good area
of orchard than of other land. The
larger the area fenced in the less like
ly will the fowls be to try to get out.

neve venture within gunshot day
times. His sort is allus more skeered
O us'n we need be o. him"
In spite of Old Cy's conclusions,
however, the camp remained in a state
of siege that day and many days fol-
lowing.
Angie and Chip seldom strayed far
from the cabin. Ray assumed the wa
ter-bringing, night and morning. Old
Cy and Levi patroled the premises,
while Martin, Hersey, and his deputy
hunted a little for game and a good
deal for moccasined footprints or a
sight or a sign Of this ~half-breed.
Hersey, more especially, made him
his object of pursuit. He had come
here for that purpose, his pride and
reputation were at stake, and the
thousand dollars Martin had agreed to
pay was a minor factor. He and his
mate passed hours in the mornings

CHAPTER vIll.-continued,

One, two, five minutes elapsed, and
then a sudden suspicion of something
wrong came to Old Cy, and, followed
by Ray, he hurried to the landing.
One pail of water stood on the float,
both their canoes were adrift on the
lake, and as Old 4%g looked out, there,
heading for the outlet, was a canoe!
One swift glance and, MY God, he's
got Chip!" told the story, and with
face fierce in anger, he darted back,
grasped his rife, and returned.
The canoe, its paddler bending low
as he forced it into almost leaps, was
scare two lengths from the outlet.
Old Cy raised his rifle, then low
cred it.
Chip was in that canoe!
His avenging shot was stayed.
And now Old Tomah leaped down
the path, rifle in hand.
One look at the vanishing canoe,
and his own, floating out upon the
lake, told him the tale, and without a
word he turned and, %plunging into the
underground, leaping like a deer over
rock and chasm, vanished at the top
Of the ridge.
