Blake ran around beside him and
stared at the tunnellike passage which
wound up the limestone lodges be-

As he spoke. Blake stopped and
climbed a few yards up the trail to an
overhanging ledge. four or FIVE feet
high. Where the trail ran up over
this break in the slope the stone was
bare OF all vegetation. Blake laid his
club on the top OF the ledge. and was

ward glances filled his companions
with vague terror. He himself was
hardly less alarmed.
Get out Of the trees--into the open,"
he exclaimed In a hoarse whisper. and
as they crept away, white with dread
of the unknown danger, he followed at
their heels. looking backward, his club
raised In readiness to strike.
Once clear Of the trees Winthrope
caught Miss Leslie by the hand and
broke into a run. In their terror they
paid no heed to Blakes command to
stop. They had darted OFF so unex-
pectedly that he did not overtake them
short of 100 yards.
Hold on!" he said, gripping Win
thrope roughly by the shoulder. eIts

QUARREL ENDS CHAMPIONSHIP
 SERIES HERE

The West End-St. Joseph series for the city championship is off. The man. agers can't come to an agreement as to where the deciding games are to be played. The original agreement was for three games. the first to be play ed at West End Park, the second at St. Joseph's Oval and the third if nee essary on neutral 1a grounds. i,,+ dne ane has been won, the first two coming out a tie, which had not been anticipated The two managers have made an CT fort during the past few days put nave failed to reach an agreement with the result that the series has been called Ian differ considerably in their state ments and it begins to look as if the lie was being passed somewhere. Man ager Quinlan of the Joes says that the real kick was over the. question of grounds where the fourth game was to be played. Ritchel he says held out for west End Park. while Quinlan as he naturally would, wanted St Jo- seph's Oval. Quinlan says that he is willing to flip coin to decide the grounds, but he says that Ritche1 will have West End Park or none.
 Manager Ritchel states that he tried his best to have the Joes play at New field Park to-day, but they stated that they could not as some of the players have to work. The Sunday games, he says, Manager Quinlan refused to play any other grounds than St Jo- seph's Oval. Manager. Ritchel also has another kick coming He says tnal at the St. Joseph rooters in Wednesdays s game crowded out on the field in the ninth inning delaying play so long that the umpire had to call the game De cause of darkness He says that a number of those rooters assaulted the West End players and adds that through this one game has been won, and that if the St. Joes want. to claim the city championship under such con- ditions they are welcome to it.

 The Giants are making serious charges of favoritism against Umpire Evans, who, they say, permitted Mitch ell to take his base in the disastrous ninth inning yesterday after he had deliberately stepped in front of the ball. The bases on balls to Hemphin and Chase, the latter of which brought in the winning run, showed favoritism on the part of Evans, according to the CSia ntS.

 Aside from the men who get hold of secondhand cars to run them for pleasure are those who make use of them in other ways. For instance, some men will remodel the cars so as to make light commercial vehicles. The power plant is utilized in that way, the body being remodelled. Light trucking, hauling baggage and delivering groceries or dry goods can be done adequately by such a car in a small place, making an effect that couldn't be obtained by the expendi- ture, often very slight, in any other way.
