All persons having bills against
the Baseball Association will please
present same by the first and fif-
teenth of each month.
Those who got it Sunday and
Monday land they were numerous)
say that Wibaux money appears
to be just as good as Beach coin
that it passes current here just as
we'll as any and will buy fully as
much goods.
The Beach baseball team will
play the mighty Dickinson bunch
on the latter's grounds on Sum
day, June IL. and it is expected
that quite a large crowd Of rooters
will accompany the team and con.
tribute its throaty efforts toward
the winning of the game. Dick
inson will play return game here
the Sunday following.
1t is said that the patriotic
citizens of Wibaux went home
after the game here Monday and
raised the sum Of $3.50 with which
to hire a new battery for their
baseball team. They had very
good batteries both Sunday and
Monday, but the support was poor.
| What the Wibaux people ought to
do is to get six or seven real ball
players mot Miles City stock,
and if they have any money left
it wouldn't be a bad idea fol-
them to copy a few of the features
of the Beach baseball park. II

Filled with desire for revenge,
strengthened by another pitcher
from Miles City and nursing a
tankering for the recovery of the
money lost. the Wibaux crowd
came to Beach Monday for a re-
turn game. AS it was Memorial
day and a legal holiday and there
was "rom" show lowering in
the vicinity. the crowd was a big
one, everybody, his sister. cousin
and aunts going to the new park
in the afternoon. And say, that
crowd was record-breaker. And
the visitors were shown real
park, conducted with some system.
1t is not possible for the rabble to
swarm all over the diamond.
neither is a collector sent out into
the crowd to solicit contribu-
tions like beggar. Everybody
entering the portals must first
"come across" with the price,
and every person watching the
game has the satisfaction of know
ing that his neighbor is not a
"cheap skate.
The game began shortly after
800 with ArmOntcout and Smith
doing the battery work for the
home team, Burdett and Will
liams for the visitors, and Fisher
and Berth rendering the official
decisions. The 2entlemanly

forehead is one mass of blood! What has
happened?"
''Oh," he answered easily, Il fell on a
rock early this morning after | left
you, before l went fishing"
The woman's brows wrinkled and puz-
zled look came into those big blue eyes of
hers. Before you went fishing? Why,
dearest, you left me only five minutes ago.
What has happened to your" Her distress
was pitiful.
He looked at her and then down into the
peaceful valley; then at the sun. What
time is it." he asked shakily.
She looked at her watch. Quarter to
eleven. We got here about twenty minutes
ago. What happened to you, Frank? How
did you hurt YOURSELF"
1t came to him in flash. When he fell
and struck the rock he had been knocked
senseless. All that had happened between
then and now had come to him in dream.
When he had regained consciousness he had
struggled up the mountain again.
He told Mary Law his dream. all that he
lived in the five minutes he had lain uncon-
scious,-his resentment his fishing trip, his
meeting with Miss Lynch, his fear that the
woman he loved was dead.
And when he had finished, all that Mary
Law said was, Answer me candidly, Frank.
Would you ever again in all your life have
mustered courage to tell me that you loved
me if you hadn't been knocked sense
less?"
Sanders could sometimes say the right
thing He smiled and answered, Il wasn't
knocked senseless, Mary-I was knocked
sensible"
And Mary Law gave him a kiss for his
cleverness-and he gave her several for no
particular reason at all. For when bashful
man finds out that there's no use in being
bashful, he is likely to get as many kisses as
any other lucky man. And sometimes a
mans luck may come to him directly after
he has been knocked senseless. 1t all depends
on what he dreams what he does when
he wakes!

ing. And now you've lost her! Why, what's
the matter with you, MANI"
For Sanders was gazing at her with wild,
staring eyes and mouth open. For second
he could not speak. Then he burst out with,
Hasn't Miss Law been home since this
morning."
"You ought to know that best" snapped
Miss Lynch. "You were the last person who
saw her"

ears. What if that was true? What If she
Then he gave shout like man who IS be-
reft of his senses and, dropping the fishing
tackle, tore at the top of his speed toward
Badly Mountain.
Fear spurred him on. Six o'clock now,
half past ten when he had left her! She
might have fallen and killed herself, might
have thrown herself down the mountain,
might have been bitten by snake! A thou
sand things might have happened!
an and on he went, his strength almost
- gone, his heart near to bursting. Just
before he reached the summit he stumbled
from sheer WEAKNESS. He struggled to his
feet. A hundred yards more and he reached
the top.
There she sat, as he had left her in the
morning, gazing down into the peaceful
valley.
Thank God, Mary, I've found you!
Come to me, my darling! | never knew un-
til now how dearly loved you"
The woman turned. rose quickly, and,
throwing her arms about him, sobbed as if
her heart would break. "Oh, I'm SO glad
you came back" she said, her head still hid
den on his shoulder.
"And to think that all day long you have
waited" he answered in a tone of deep self
reproach.
1T did seem like all day." she sobbed,

Then she looked up at him, glad light in
her eyes. In a second the expression had
changed; apprehension took the place Of
lovelight "Great heavens, Frank! Your

"Of course Clark exploded, and there was
a row; but it came to quick end. Johnson
looked the other man in the eyes and spoke
just nine words, L have the proofs, legal
proofs, about those State funds And
Clark mouth opened and shut twice and he
wilted in his chair. Then Johnson added,
L have the proofs, say; but don't intend
to show them to anyone unless you force me
to. It's worth all that money, and more be-

CLARK said he did,-he couldn't say any,
thing else,-and the next day he and John
son parted company. And, SO far as know,
that was the last either of them ever saw of
the other. Clark died abroad. a couple of
years later.

had treated her like dog. But, deep down
in her heart, every woman cherishes little
ideas about even the worst man, if only he
has been close to her. ideas that no man is
quite able to explain. And SO, perhaps, she
sometimes thought of the man that was
gone in a way Johnson never suspected. OF
one thing, however, he felt tolerably sure:
she never connected him with Clarks dis
appearance.
''And, with his departure, load seemed
to be lifted from her shoulders, and before
long she was laughing little in her DID, free
way. For. after Clark's death, johnson
went to her and made himself known, and
told her as much of his story as he thought
best for them BOTH and they saw each other
often. 1t never could be anything more than
seeing each other as old friends; they both
understood this without word having been
spoken. All that was far behind them, if
it ever had existed. and maybe something

he wasn't around He'd skipped. That's
all there was to it from their point of
view.
RUT he hadn't gone far. That smash up
- at the polls was the second setback his
ideals had got. and it made him sort of sick
for the time being. He wanted to get off
and think it out for himself. And so, for
couple of weeks. nobody in the city saw him.
When he did come back he had nothing to
say about why he'd left, and went about his
own business as usual, only letting it be
known that he was done with trying to re-
form things.
Then after awhile people began to no
tice that he and some of Clark's men were
pretty thick, and it wasn't more than an
other year before the political reporters we're
quoting him about little doings inside the
party. The truth was, Johnson had gone
over And the reason he'd gone over wasn't
all because of that plan back in his head,
either. though you might think so. 1t was
rather that the way he'd been licked made
him see things, not as he'd liked them to be,
but as they are and always will be. And,
when his eyes were opened. he made up his
mind quick enough on this point: If some
thing was to be done, it had to be done with
what you could get to do it. in politics as in
anything else So. as no two men thought

THAT was how Clark had done and was
doing things. like thousand Others. big
and little. Johnson intended going after
what he wanted in the same way, only steer

boss; he would be Clark's boss. And that
was what he became, gentlemen. Clark 5

fortune. 1t took years to do it; but one day
