The Baseball Umpire.

'"That gentleman who is to umpire
the game today is an old friend Of
mine," said the mild hammered base
ball fan to his neighbor as they sat
leaning forward in the grand stand.
"He's one Of the squarest and finest Of
men, Yes, sir, he's as nice fel- Say,
watch the graceful attitude Of our first
batter! He's got his eye with him to-
day, too, for see how he lets this first
bad one go. What did the umpire call

"a strike,' replied his neighbor.
"Now, what do you think Of that?

Well, umpires will make mistakes. I've

At this juncture crack rent the air,
and the ball sailed on line toward the
left field fence. The mild hammered
man was on his feet in jiffy.
"Oh, what a swat! Run, run like the
dickens! Go on and make it homer!
Look at that cuss go, viii you? Make

"The umpire called it foul!'

tnen burning pain In his ankle rous-
ed him. Dragging himself to sitting
posture, he cut the lacc3 CT the boot
and with his handkerchief bound the
sprained ankle as tightly as he could.
Then, by slow degrees, he made his
way to his Coat and slipped it ON to
prevent cold
Holding to the trunk Of the tree he
sought to rise, but he sank to the
ground again and rested for a moment
until the sharp pain ceased.
There was no stick in sight that
could be used as a cane, and without
such an aid there was small chance of
being able to make his way to the edge
OF the wood, where he might be able
to attract the attention of some pedes-
trian, on the road below Yet he
would crawl on his hands and knees
rather than pass the night in the open.
He was still considering the situa-
tion when he spied flash Of brown
and scarlet between the trees, and a
girl came slowly toward him. AS she
came more clearly into view Paul
gasped and rubbed his eyes.
Coming toward him was Carol Ry-
der, not as he expected to find her with
the weight Of added years, but as
young and giriish as on that day
when they two had gathered chestnuts
and taken them home to roast.
1t seemed that it must be some vi
sion, for he had seen a late picture of
Carol, and the girlishness had given
place to matronly dignity that sat
the girl Of the olden day-his Carol
and as she approached he struggled to
rise and fell. She came hurrying to-
ward him.
"You have hurt your ankle" she
asked in q voice that surely must be
Carols. Il will try and find q stick. for
you to use as cane. Don't try to rise
until bring you one"
She hurried away and presently re-
appeared with q stout branch.
"You will have to trim it down lit
tie with your knife" she explained.
''It was the best / could find. Is it
Paul Westford?' she added as, for the
uISl lluQe. Sllc Sluuleu lis Lace.
"It's Paul Westford," he assented,
"but you cannot be Carol?''
'.I'm her sister Edith" she explain
ed with a light laugh. 81 was just at
the awkward age when you left, and,
anyhow, you never had eyes for any
one but CAROL
"You look very like her." he said
quietly as he rose by aid Of the cane.
$50 every one tells me-" was the
girls careless comment. "You had bet
ter take my arm too. 1t will be safer.
Do you think you can manage it?"
Easily" he agreed as he accepted
her suggestion and rested his free
hand lightly upon her arm.
Slowly they made their way to the
clearing, and not until they left the
woods behind did Edith stop with a
little cry of dismay.
"You never got the nuts" she cried,
land you came all the way from town
to get them
81 came in search Of old memories" "
said Paul softly as he looked down
into the eager face upturned to his. II
thought they were dead memories, and
find that they still live"
The color flooded the girls face as
she turned it aside, but not till eyes
had spoken to eyes, and Paul knew
that he had found his mate.

TO THE VOTERS OF MARIcoPA
 COUNTY

As it will be impossible for me to meet all the voters before election, l take this means of asking your support in the coming election for the office of supervisor.
 have endeavored during my term of office to help conduct the business of the county in a businesslike manner, not neglecting the county's business to attend to my own affairs.
 I have personally examined each and every itemized bill at the itime it was filed in the office, in that way having time to audit same more carefully than to wait until time of payment, the first of each month. I have also personally examined all of the reports of the county officers filed in our office the first Of each month so as to be sure that they were correct before their salaries were paid.
 I have enumerated here only a few of the duties of the office, but in the transaction of all other business con nected with the office I have been equally as careful and l believe this is a proper time to make a report of my work While in the office.
 I hope that my past record has met with your approval, and hope you may deem it to vour best interest to re- elect me. If reelected, I will give Maricopa county the. same honest and careful administration as in the past.
 Yours very truly,
 c. s. STEWARD,
