John Titus, the Philadelphia right

history connected with it. In 1894
Captain Anson discovered piece of
for baseball bat and he proceeded to
have it turned into a cudgel. Anson
in his day merely had to swing it
and the ball would go to the fence.
1t is so heavy, however, that many an
ordinary player would hardly care to
handle it. When Pop Anson retired
from the game he retained this great

ther, however, and trailed the monde
script article up the stairs. We could
only gaze after him and wonder what
1t all meant.
The conclave lasted far into the
night. The feminine contingent went
to bed, but not to sleep Some time
after midnight, Mr.. HARRISON and Max
went downstairs and l could hear
them rattling around testing win
dows and burglar alarms. But fin.
ally every one settled down and the
rest of the night was quiet
Betty Mercer came into my room
the next morning, Sunday, and said
Anne Brown wanted me. I went over
at once, and Anne was sitting up in
bed, crying. Dal had slipped out Of
the room at daylight, she said, and
hadn't come back He had thought
she was asleep, but she wasn't, and
she knew he was dead, for nothing
ever made Dal get up on Sunday be-
fore noon.
There was no one moving in the
house, and / hardly knew what to do.
1t was Betty who said she would go
up and rouse Mr.. HARRISON and Max,
who had taken Jim's place in the
studio. She started out bravely
enough, but in a minute we heard her
flying back Anne grew perfectly

He's lying on the upper stairs!"
Betty cried, and we all ran out. It
was quite true. Dal was lying on the
stairs in bath-robe. with one of Jim's
Indian war-clubs in his hand. And he
was sound asleep.
He looked somewhat embarrassed
when he reused and saw US standing
around. He said he was going to play
a practical joke on somebody and fell
asleep in the middle Of It. And Anne
said he wasn't even an intelligent liar,
and went back to bed In temper. But
Betty came in with me, and we sat
and looked at each other and didn't
say much. The situation was beyond
us.
The doctor let Jim out next day,
there having been nothing the matter
with him but stomach rash. But
Jim was changed; he mooned around

abstracted at times, and all that day

CHAPTER XXI.
A Bar of Soap.

Late that evening Betty Mercer ana
Dallas were writing verses of condo
aence to be signed by all of us and
put under the door into Jim's room
when Bella came running down the
stairs.
Dal was reading the first verse
when she came. Listen to this,

But Mr.. HARRISON did not smile. He
was thoughtful for minute. Then:

said quietly, land 1 wouldn't be sur

thing that-will be of general inter-

After that, of course, none of the
others would confess that he was
afraid, so with the South American
leading, they ali went upstairs. The
women of the party sat on the lower
steps and listened, but everything was
quiet. Now and then we could hear
the sound Of voices, and after a while
there was a rapid slamming of doors
and the sound of some one running
down to the second floor. Then quiet

came down again soon, however, and
