by H. S. Student. l

Prospects for the biggest Tri-State
meet that has ever been run off in
heokuk are very bright. If the wealth
er man gives us a good clear, warm
day there is no doubt but that the
meet will eclipse anything ever here
tofore attempted by High school
in this part of the, country. Entries
from the different schools are rolling
in on every mail and to judge from the
number of athletes that the various
schools are. sending to represent them
there will be a host of thin clad war
riors here.
Even at this early stage one can
predict that the Tri-state records
will certainly be shattered. With the
coming of five new schools yesterday
it is hard to pick winner. Gales
burg boasts of fast man in the per-
son Of Tinkham, who Saturday, April
%. ran the century in 10 Us seconds,
which, if properly timec, will make
some of the hundred men move TO

City, and Davis of the .oca1 track
team are all fast men that will have
to face each other on the track.

To predict a winner in the 220, 440
and half mile is very hare. Among
the men of known ability in these
runs are Parsons of Iowa City, who
ran the 44o last year at the meet at
Iowa City in the fast time Of 80 3-5
seconds, Merrill of Chill:cothe, Hoff-
man and Yetter of Iowa city, Fulton,
Davis and Stricken of the purple and
white team. Temple of Galesburg
will prove fast ma~ - the mile.
In. dual meet between Galesburg
and Kewanee he made the run in the
time of ass. which is considered
fast so early in the season. This rec
ord is s seconds faster than the pres
ent record here.

men entered SO far which will, in all
probability, show up the best are

WINGED they were unknown to Hicks,
who had evidently been deceived into
thinking that this last arrest had
created no excitement.
That's why we picked yer up SO
early" he explained, genially. Bart
said If we got to yer afore the boys
woke up they'd never hear nuthin'
bout 1t, an so thar wouldn't be no
row. He didn't even think thar'd be

He left them tobacco and pipes, and
went away evidently convinced that
he had performed his full duty. The
two prisoners, putting smoke-rings into
the air, heard the heavy clang Of the
iron bar falling into place across the
door, and sat LOOKING into one anoth-
er's faces through the deepening twi-
light. In the mind OF both black and
| white reposed the sans thought. The
negro was first to break the silence.
"'Pears ter me. Massa Jack, like
dis yere Bart pusson am mighty anx-
ious ter hab no suspicious raised"
"Anybody but Hicks would see
that" acknowledged the other, the
rings of smoke circling his head, "but
he hasn't any brains. 1t was pure
nerve that got him the job. Well, this
is one time that Bart pusson' is going
to find an empty coop. Well get out,
Neb, just as soon as 1t gets dark

failed to perceive any distant glimmer

he touched the boy on the shoulder.

In spite of his slenderness, Keith
possessed unusual strength, yet no eX-

loosened plank sufficiently for their
purpose. Ripping strip from the
bench he managed to pry ths hole

Keith ran his eyes over the walls,
carefully noting every popularity.
we'll remain here quietly just as
long as it is daylight, Neb," he replied
finally. "but We'll try every board and
every log to discover some way out.
Just the moment it grows dark enough
to slip away without being seen we've
got to hit the prairie. Once south Of
the Arkansas we're safe, but not until
then. Have you made any effort to
get out?"
The negro came over to him, and
bent down.
Il was layin' on a board what I'd

pered hoarsely, "back oh de bench,

to get grip next to the black fingers.
and the two pressed 1t up far enough
for the white man to run one arm
through the opening up to his shout
der and grope about below.
There's a two-foot space there" he
reported, as they let the board settle
silently down into position. 1.-THE back
part of this building must be set up on
piles. reckon we could pry that
plank up with the bench, Neb, but it's
liable to make considerable racket.
Let's hunt about first for some other
weak spot"
They crept across the floor, testing
each separate board, but without dis
covering place where they could ex-
ert leverage. The thick planks were
tightly spiked down. Nor did the
walls offer any better encouragement.
Keith lifted himself to the grated
window, getting glimpse of the
world without, but finding the iron i'm
in the outside wood. He dropped to
the floor, feeling baf11ed and discour-
aged.
1T will have to be the plank back
Of the bench, Neb," he announced
briefly. wiping the perspiration from
his face. Get down there and work
it as loose as you can without making
any noise, while l keep my ear to the
door and listen for any interruption. "
They took turns at this labor, dis.
covering loose nail which gave an
opening purchase at the crack, thus
enabling the insertion of small wood
en- block, and insuring space for a
good finger grip when the right time
came. A sleepy Mexican brought in
their dinner, and set 1t down on the
bench without word, but on his re-
turn with supper, the marshal accom-
panied him, and remained while they
ate, talking to Keith, and staring
about the room. Fortunately, the sin
gle window was to the west, the last
rays of the sun struck the opposite
wall, leaving the space behind the
bench IN deep shadow. Whatever
might be the plans Of BLACK Bart"
