Crawford Forces Morse.

From the two-mile point the race de-
veloped into a nip and tuck affair be-
tween Morse and Crawford. with the
latter in the lead by a slight margin
the greater part Of the way. In the
meantime, Stecker. with his Characters
tic short, snappy pace. had shown his
heels TO many contestants. After com
pleting half the distance, four Of the
runners dropped out, either tired by the
pace or exhausted from lack of condi-
ton.
1t was not until the final stretch that
Morse sprinted. On the home stretch
up Seventeenth street he challenged
Crawford with a clever sprint His op-
pOnent was not equal TO the occasion.
In a little over a minute a distance OF
hundred yards separated the first and
second runners. As Morse neared the
Y. NJ, &. A. building he was greeted by
a .arge and enthusiastic crowd and
when he crossed the finish line he was
accorded an ovation.

they had met with flatter.ng success.
The strings they had brought home
had aroused the envy of the neighl,ors
and they had come to be regarded as
wizards in attracting the choice deni-
zens of the deep.
For some unexplained reason there
was nothing doing on the recent day
that they put in at the canal. From
early morning until late in the after
noon they stuck religiouSly at their
posts, but not a bite did they get.
They had told a number of their
friends of the haul that they confident
ly expected to make, and the thought
of facing them empty-handed perplex-
ed them. They even discussed the idea
of buying string. in order to protect
their regulations in the neighborhood
of their homes. And they fingered,

they were about to leave. the telephone

answered it. The daughter of neigh

He said he could wait and act. and in

FALSE BURGLAR ALARM.
| .Jones--that is not his name-thought
he had had visit from burglars when
he awakened in his home one morning
after having heard the breakfast call.
Looking about his room. he was I'M
able to locate his clothing or his shoes
/ i'll the places where he was accustom-
ed to leaving them OH retiring. He
called to his wife, who had arisen
some time earlier, 10 inquire if she
had found everything in order in the
lower precincts of the house. He was
sure that the home had been entered
for his best suit of clothes, and his
shoes, his hat, and his watch and
money We're gone.
He was making a search of his room
when his little daughter unexpectedly
appeared at the head of the stairway
| bearing his trousers and his shoes. He
| wanted TO know if she had found them
in the back yard, where he Sherlock
Holmes like, opined the bold midnight
marauder had dropped them after ex-
tracing the money and valuables.
No, papa. said the child. "Your
| trousers were hanging on the hallracl
down stairs. Your shoes were ON top
of the sewing machine. That was u
funny place to put them" Then she
laughed. He grabbed the little girl in
his arms. kissed her, and slipped her
dime and told her to go back to her
| playthings. and not say word about
the affair
| When Jones, after bath and a
shave, approached the breakfast table,
smiling, he tried to open up new line
of conversation about how beautiful
| the flowers looked, etc. but wiley. who
had solved the supposed burglary, per-
sisted in her inquisitiveness. and
blushingly. he confessed that he must
be growing absent-minded.
Jones had attended a banquet the
night before. His wife was aware oil
the fact. but she did not know that
anything stronger than mountain water
had been served Jones said it was
to be an intellectual feast When the
little daughter had been sent out in
the front yard to play with the dog
Jones confessed He thought. when
he stood before the hallrack mirror
that he was in his bedroom, and dis
ROBBED there. He said he would stand
for another chalk mark i'm the family
error column, and II his wife would
keep the matter secret. he would there
after stick to soda and take an early
car home
