DIETRICH let four go by and the bases
were full. Hudson then punctured
the sky with two-bagger and
netted twin runs. Hatcher followed
with a red-hot grounder, which was
dropped at second, and two more runs
was the result. Sullinger was good for
a base hit and Hatcher scored.
Myers was at bat and sent one to the
infield. Sullinger was then on the
way between second and third 1t
was one of those tense and paralyzing
moments when fractions of seconds
mean everything. Second baseman
had the ball and third baseman ad-
Vanced on Sullinger who was cor
nered. Most of the other Phoenix
men came up to see to Sullinger's
capture. The man with the ball toyed
with it then suddenly threw it to
third. There was no one in that
part of the diamond and Sullinger
scored. The agony was ended by the
next two up going out. The score
was Z to 8. Johnson was put in the
box. Hersig sent to second and Creech
to the field.
johnson started out beautifully and
the fifth. Creech went to bat for
Phoenix and got as far as third.
Nicholson struck twice in vain and
then threw the bat at the ball, bpt
missed it, Strong flew out.
In the sixth johnson struck out
Sullinger and Bernard and Myers died
at third. Harter and Pishon famed.
johnson got four balls, Hersig singled
and Heflin flew out
Tucson made four runs in the
seventh. Corbett went out, pitcher
to first. Kelly awaited to left and
SO did DIETRICH. Hatcher made a two
base hit and Myers and Sullinger
one each.
No more runs for either side. The
rest of the game was somewhat list
less, the visitors feeling that victory
was theirs and the home team con-
scious that the lead was too great
to be broken.

at the clubhouse. In the evening
they were taken to the Majestic thea

them.
There were 175 Elks in the eXcur-
sion and a number of others from
the Pueblo city. The monotony of
the trip was diversified with numer-
Gus unique games and conceits
There were three clubs" each with
ten members, who took a prominent
part in the entertainment of their
fellows. There was the Ostrich"
club, the Bull Durham" club and the
Dutch" club. Chief ostrich was Hy
COrbett and some of his subjects
were O'Leary. Bell, Sullivan, Hatcher
and Hudson. Pop" Taylor was the
big chief Of the Durham club and
Captain Sullinger OF the Dutch club.
Various members of the Teal Opera
company were impersonated by the
Ostrich club. Billy Bell and Badger
Pollock were the subjects of a mock
initiation on the trip. They were led
shackled in the parade and were
decorated with a three-ply coat of
black paint
The Tucson boys left for home
about midnight with assurances that
they had enjoyed themselves tremend-

Had Had a Quarrel
KEPT DISCOVERY SECRET

Sydney, c. B, Sept. 19.-New light
was thrown on the controversy con-
corning the discovery of the pole on
the arrival of the steamer Tyrian
from Battle Harbor, where cores
pondents learned from two members
of Peary's expedition that Cook met
them at Etah and said nothing about
discovering the north pole.
When Harry Whitney, George Nor
ton and Larned went to Etah on the
Erik to bring provisions for Peary,
both Norton and Larned turned back
and Whitney obtained permission
from Peary to remain at the Etah
station Peary stationed John Muir
ply, the boatswain of the Roosevelt,
and William Pritchard, assistant
cook, at Etah to guard the stores.
Murphy said: Some time last
spring a white man came and Whit
ney told me he was Cook. He looked
tired and hungry. / had an argument
with him as he claimed that some of
the stores We were guarding belonged
to him. He had two Eskimos with
him and as all the dogs were dead he
had to pull his own sled. Pritchard
said the EslSimos told him they had
been way. way north"
None of the Peary party at Battle
Harbor would discuss what had been
learned from Harry Whitney, as Peary
had given orders that the Cook con-
troversy must not be mentioned. 1t
is Commonly reported. though, that
Peary had some differences with
Whitney.
PEARY ALSO SECRETIVE
Friends of DIR. Cook here point out
that when Peary on his return from
the trip on which he says he dis
covered the pole, sent for Professor
Mcmillan, who had gone to establish
a base of supplies at Cape Morris X.
Jessup, he did not mention in his
discovery of the pole. All he said
was, Northern trip satisfactory
Friends of Peary say these words
were intended to convey the infOrma-
tion that he had discovered the pole.
Mcmillan said he saw Whitney and
Whitney did not say anything about
Cooks discovery of the pole.
Peary at Battle HarbOr said to the
correspondents: My work in the ice
fields is finished. have accomplished
the object of my life. / shall always
be interested in Arctic exploration,
but the actual work must be left to
younger men,"
DO you think it possible for any
man to fake observations to prove
that he has been at the pole?" Peary
was asked
In the opinion of Admiral Melville,
Admiral Sir George Mares and my
self. yes" he responded. Then he
added: Il do not care to speak of
other observations, in view of what

offered, and then l will submit my

AS >the wildness of Helen's de-

the bank of the little river, near
his boat house, and buried his head
in his hands. A deep groan burst
from him, and the tears at last

spair he thought how vain must be

ciliate her. Impatient with his own

the three special carloads we sue
ceeded in buying at ridiculously

cakes.
Come to our store today and
make a small payment down and
we will sell you for $117 a piano
that is just as good as some OF
your friends bought elsewhere at
$3.50. That is a fact. The pianos
we are selling at this price were
made to sell at $3.50, and II we
had paid the regular wholesale
price for them we would have had
to sell them for $3.50. We got them
at snap, however, and part of the
profit is yours. :.
There are others in the lot sell
ling at $137, SITS and $208, and the
values are correspondence rare to
the style selling at SILT.
You may be a little skeptical of
a piano that we can sell SO cheap,
but If it does not prove all we
claim for it and satisfactory we
will send our wagon after 1t and
your money will be applied on
some other that you like, or fail
ing to please you, the money win
be refunded. You see there is no
chance of disappointment, and you
know that we are going to stay
right here for many years to pro-
tect your interests.
Do you know why we are the
largest piano concern in western
America? 1t Is because ever since
our beginning in a little hole In
the wall we have given the people
the very best we could for their
money and they in turn tell their
friends about our liberal treat
ment. That is why the discrimin-
ating buyer who wants to be sure
of good quality at the right price
comes to Eilers.
We have several splendid bar

CHAPTER XVI

After a long silence Hazel asked
her II she could be there in half an
hour. She said yes without turning
her head. On reaching the graves,
she found that Hazel had spared
her a sad sight; nothing remained
but to perform the service. When
It was over she went slowly away
in deep distress. In due course
Hazel came to her bower, but she
was not there. Then he lighted
the fire and they had their supper.
That night Helen slept better, her
