The Land Of the Little Brown JUG.


Caboose 01S6, with three box cars
and locomotive attached, lay In the
southeastern yards at Raleigh late in
the evening of the same day. In the
observatory sat Mr.. Thomas Ardmore.
chatting with the conductor, while
they waited for the right of way Mr..
Ardmore's pockets were filed with
papers. and he held half dozen tele-
grams in his hand. The freight cars
behind him were locked and sealed,
| and a number of men lounging near
| appeared to be watching them.
The reply of the sheriff Of Dilwell
county had precipitated the crisis.
That official succinctly replied to
Ardmore's message:
Be good and acquire grace.
While this dictum had aroused Miss
Dangerfeld's wrath and Indignation,
1t Gained her fellow conspirator, and
for hours Ardmore had poured forth
by telegraph and telephone. No such
messages as his had ever before re-
dated from Raleigh The tolls would

was already following the streams
and beating the brush in search of

special train contained machine gun
and supply of rifles; another abun-
dant ammunition and commissary sup
plies. and the third cots and bags.
The men who loafed about the train
were a detail of strike breakers from
detective agency, borrowed for the
occasion. Cooke, the conductor of the
train, had formerly been in the gov
ernment secret service, and knew the
Carolina hill country as he knew the

warned his manager and the house
keeper on his estate to prepare for
the arrival of Mrs. Atchison, whose
private car had come and gone, car
rying Miss Geraldine Dangerfield on
to Ardsley. Ardmore had just re-
ceived a message from his sister at
some way station. reporting all well
and containing these sentences: she
| is rather different, and I do not quite
make her out. She has our noble
brother-in-law good deal bewil-
| dered."
Cooke ran forward for colloquy
with the engineer over their orders;
the guards climbed into one of the
box cars, and the train moved slowly
out of the Raleigh yards to the main
| line and ratified away toward Kildare,

Not Capt Kidd nor another of the

Manuscripts of Unusual Interest.

The sale of royal manuscripts, which
is to take place at Sotheby's shortly,
will bring together a number of inter-
ested autograph collectors, for there
are some of unusual interest. Such,
for instance, as letters from sovereign
pontiffs, ranging from 1417 to 1904;
letters from Mary Queen of Scots and
from Queen Elizabeth in their quaint
Shakespearcan hand. Indeed, It will

clearly outclassed their formidable
rivals as they themselves had been IN
their second game with the same
school. The final score was to 8.
The game was slow and long drawn
out, and abounded in errors on botn
sides With the exception OF the nrst
two innings, Van Pelt and Hulcher
showed up in good form, though both
were slightly wild.
The game was practically won by
the High School from the start, the
score al the end of the second inning
being to A. This lead McGuire's boys
we're unable to overcome. McGuire's
school, aided by their band or loyal
supporters in the srand-stand, fought
every inch Of the long road to the
ninth inning.
Both teams seemed to be suffering
from stage fright. and were too eager.
Hulcher struck out twelve men, but
allowed the High School TO bunch
their hits to safe territory.
Montgomery and Van Pelt were par
ticularly fast on their feet, and stole
second at will.
