But dark days were coming on for
Patsy; the early summer was to bring
him awful trouble. The blow fell in
this way: great crowd came to the
park to see the famous Gray Stockings
play the home team, the Beverly Blues,
and Patsy did a rushing business. All
might have gone well had he not been
compelled to go up into the bleach
ers along the same row of seats upon
which loud voiced "rooter" stood
waving flag and yelling encourage
ment to his favorite club.

him with one end of the heavy basket.

move fast, and the enraged victim of
the unfortunate meeting spotted him
and started in pursuit He caught the
peanut boy under the stand. Patsy
would have been half killed if a police
man had not interfered. Then. as i'll
luck would have it, Colonel G1ennon
happened to come along. This man was
a friend of the colonel-and that sealed
Patsy's fate. sShorty'' tried to put in
good word for him, but in vain. Poor

Patsy left the grounds heartbroken.

Queen Of the Dolls Nay Party

Not SO Maud Marian. Suddenly she
jumped up, clapping her hands. Il
know what she can wear" she cried;
'the wedding dress of Mary Bell In
a moment she dashed into the house.
She came out triumphantly carrying
another doll and a trunk full of clothes.
Il brought her along, too" she said,
because she was put away wearing her
best lace petticoat, and / think we'll
need her stockings. too"
She threw Mary Bell carelessly down
on the grass and began hastily rum
maging through her trunk for the we'd
ding dress.
Theresa picked Mary Bell up sorrow
fully. Mary Bell had once been a beau
tiful Paris doll. but she had had hard
life as the favorite of Maud Marian. and
now she was battered and damaged,
with one arm gone, her front teeth
missing. her beautiful complexion al
together ruined and her once lovely
bronze locks ragged and scant.
Theresa sighed deply, for she had
been very fond Of Mary Bell, although
she was Maud Marian's doll. Maud
Marian did not sigh Instead she be-
gan disrobing Luella hurriedly so that
she might dress her in the wedding
gown of Mary Bell.
Mary Bell is so battered that [
wasn't even going to let her come to
the party" she explained cheerfully,
but ] suppose I shall have to now.
She can wear Luella's dress"
Then a strange thing happened.
Mary Bell leaped from the arms of
Theresa and fell face downward upon
the ground with her one poor arm
stretched out in the most desolate man
ner
"ohw cried Theresa. she can't stand
"What?' asked Maud Marian, look
ing UP in surprised way from fasten-
ing Mary Bells frock on Luella.
Why said Theresa, "she can't bear
your letting Luella wear her frock and
be Queen of the May in it. And she
can't bear to wear Luella,s frock. She
hates to be so battered"
Maud Marian looked more aston
ished still, and Theresa, growing bold
er. continued: 4 think it would be
nice if we let Mary Bell be Queen of
the May
But she'd look so awful" gasped
Maud Marian.
"No, she wouldn't said Theresa,
you see she could wear veil and her
figure is very stylish"
Perhaps Maud Marian was more sym
pathetic than she seemed. or perhaps
it was because she was having trouble
in making Mary Bells gown meet on
Luella. At any rate she consented that
Mary Bell should be Queen of the May
after all, to the great happiness of
Theresa
LuelIs was the first maid of honor.
She wore her own frock, and a pink
wreath to give an added touch Of color
Caroline made very stately mother
of the queen. in her black velvet frock
and diamond coronet The Lady Violet
looked exquisite as a second maid OF
honor in pale pink satin and white
flowers. Nudge wore her best red tur-
ban with a pansy stuck in the side.
As for Mary Bell she was exquisitely
graceful and the gallantry OF the Baron
Feveril surpassed that Of any crowned
head in Europe.

fortunately none was seriously hurt

rest of the crowd into a panic and the
game was stopped. Finally. after the
police had Quoted the nervous people

learned who had warned the occupants

for shorty and Patsy. and there in
