Mrs. Perkins. Il guess it must be in

Miss Adelaide pulled the bag out and
fitted the key. The four old ladies
peered eagerly down at her. Suddenly
she drew her hand back again.

She pulled from under the rags

in bright colored bits of tissue paper
She distributed them rapidly, passing
one to Miss Adelaide, who made no
effort to take it, but let it roll under
the bed. Mrs. Perkins dived after it
and came up flushed just as Mrs. Slo-

Whats the matter?' asked Mrs
Perkins impatiently. Mrs. Slocum laid
something on the bed The others
crowded round; only Miss Adelaide
never moved They saw a red pin
cushion in the shape of a rude heart,
and on it in crooked letters the pins
formed the words, Deer Mis- Adlade

The silence made Miss Adelaide turn.

Miss Adelaide left the room, and her

and shut the door.
That night Miss Adelaide had a sick

"No, no." answered Miss Adelaide

The Evening Game.

And likewise the evening game. The
visitors put the last game on thei. side
OF the tally board last night by a
score of 4 to =, although 1t was after
the best game of the lot, and one in
which neither team was able to call
itself safe until after the last man was
out.
Ames, who was III the box for Hell
ena, was complete mystery to the
locals. Time and again he saved him
self by his classy twirling. striking
out II men during the game. At the
end of the second inning he had taken
in five out of six men up and not I'M
til the fourth did any of the home
pride see the first sack.
Helena landed one in the first. Ca
hill, the first man To face Main, was
presented with n base and he scored
on clever base running and short in
field hits. although each of the three
men following were put out without
getting past first.
In the second both teams were re-
tired easily, but in the third session
Helena again sent man over the
plate on a bad throw by Anderson to
first.
In the fourth. however, Ames. who
had been such a puzzle to the locals,
fell down "A little, and every man up
came in for n good, hard swat. An
derson started the procession with a
liner through short and he immedi-
ately advanced to third By Welty's hit
to the same hole, Morse fumb.ing the
BAN until Andy was safe. Schills
took advantage of the Opportunity and
on another error by Morse sent An
dcrson over The plate. although he was
himself caught at first. Marx kicked
In with Il hot two Dagger. but was
caught trying to steal and Schills
stuck TO third, Smith hit to third
and Welty scored, the side retiring
when Smith was caught off his base
and Ball put out stealing second.
Helena's Score
This ended the scoring for Missoula,
but Helena chaiked up again in the
fifth on two-base hit by Johnson
and "A long fly by SITS. and in the
ninth on "A passed ball by Freeman.
The game, which was clean and
hardfought throughout. ended in a
disgraceful row after the third out
in the ninth. Marx and Harmful.
who held down the third corner for
Helena, came To blows. and their en-
counter was ended only by interfer-
ence on the part of the other players.
