CHAPTER XVIII.
A Tramp and the. roothache.

y
The bitterness toward the dead
president of the Traders bank seemed
to grow with time. Never popular, his
memory was execrated by people who
had lost nothing, but who were filled
with disgust by constantly hearing
new stories of the mans grasping
avarice.
But. like everything else those days,
the bank failure was almost forgotten
by Gertrude and myself. We did not
mention Jack Bailey; L had found
nothing to change MY impression of
his guilt, and Gertrude knew how I
felt. AS for the murder of the bank
presidents son, / was of two minds.
One day thought Gertrude knew or at
least suspected that Jack had done it;
the next feared that it had been Ger
trude herself, that night alone on the
circular staircase. And then the
mother of Lucien Wallace would OBJ
trude herself, and an almost equally
good case might be made against her.
There were times, Of course, when 1
was disposed to throw all those sus-
picions aside, and fix definitely on the
unknown, whoever that might be.
had my greatest disappointment
when it came to tracing Nina Caring
ton. The woman had gone without
leaving trace. Marked as she was,
it should have been easy to follow her,
but she was not to be found A de-
scription to one of the detectives. on
my arrival at home, had started the
ball rolling. But by night she had not
been found. l told Gertrude, then,
about the telegram to Louise when she
had been ill before; about my visit to
DR.. Walker, and my suspicious that
Matte Bliss and Nina Darlington were
the same. She thought, as I did, that
there was little doubt of it.
! said nothing to her, however, of
the detectives suspicious about Alex.
Little things that had not noticed at
the time now came back to me. had
an uncomfortable feeling that perhaps
Alex WAS d spy, ani that by taking
him into the house had played into
the enemy's hands. But at eight
o'clock that night Alex himself an.
ipeared, and with him str;shge and re.

pair for Alex was almost as disrepu-
table as the tramp, and he had a badly
swollen eye.
Gertrude had been sitting listlessly
waiting for the evening message from
Mr.. Jameson. but when the singular
pair came in, as they did, without cere-
mony, she jumped up and stood staring
Winters, the detective who watched
the house at night, followed them and
kept his eyes sharply on Alexis pris-
oner For that was the situation as it
developed.
He was tall lanky individual,
ragged and dirty, and just now he
looked both terrified and embarrassed
Alex was too much engrossed to be
either, and to this day don't think I
ever asked him why he went off with
out permission the day before.

In line with his other building op-
erations, he is constructing large
natatorium on the lots back of

The pool will be I3ox3o feet, the
depth varying from three to seven
feet, and will be cemented all
around. Dressing houses will be
installed, seats for spectators, and
everything put in frst.class order.
A natatorium is something needed

A Close Game

The base ball game played in
this city last Wednesday afternoon
by the National Boston Bloomer
Girls and the home team was an
excellent one. 1t drew a very
large crowd and all portions of tie
county were we'll represented.
The game was won 10y the Med
icine Lodge team by margin of I,
the score at the close of the last
half of the ninth inning being to
7 in favor of the home team.
In the beginning the Bloomer
Girls got a nice lead and when
Medicine Lodge went to the bat in
the last half of the last inning the
score was 5 to 7 in favor of the
Girls. Here is where the boys did
magnificent "stick" work. A
F'three bagger" by Goddard was
the decisive turn; it scored Rich
ardson and put Goddard in easy
reach of home. Another run fol-
lowed and the game was won.
There was some criticism of Um-
pire Gano for calling Goddard's hit
a fair ball, but those who saw it or
were in a position to see it, say
that it was fair ball beyond the
least doubt and that the decision
was correct.
The Bloomer Girls are fine play
ers and they made it very interest
ing for our boys. We do not know
how many of the girls were boys
but competent judges say that at
least four of the best players were
real girls. 1t is certain anyway
that all of them can play ball
They were accompanied by elderly
ladies and were we'll behaved and
ladv- like in every respect.
Guilford Davis and "Red" God
dard were Medicine Lodges bat
terry. They did we'll but had no
particular "edge" over the Girls.
The Bloomer pitcher is left hand
ed and displayed an admirable
science. She was strong in the box
but was given to more tongue
action than necessary. Still this
as a popularity of the sex and she
rs not to be criticised for it.
The visitors departed with the
admiration and respect of the big
crowd that saw the game.
