heel, tied at the waist with a white
sash, the ends of which fell to the
ground. Each wore a white skullcap.
They were all elderly men, and their
hair and boards had been allowed to
grow at Will
To say that the princess was the
most beautiful woman my eyes had
ever rested upon is hardly to describe
her. The whole of Princess Darfa's
world allowed that she was the most
beautiful of women, and the women
of Drussenland are beautiful. Her
warriors, from the highest knight to
the humblest soldier, worshiped her
and had sworn obedience to him who
should win her for himself. My first
impression was that she was fit to rule
those who bowed before her. She
looked queenly and their mistress.
Seated in her chair of state. as first
saw her. she looked a princess; she
looked what she was. the idol of her
people. and she looked more, a woman
a man could love.
Every eye was turned toward me
as advanced up the hall Certainly
of attraction. 1 saw Organ standing
at the foot of the platform between
two soldiers, but as I approached he
eluded their vigilance and, rushing
toward me, fell on his knee and kiss
ed my hand, whispering as he did so:
admit everything. It's our only
chance"
Evidently I had to play a part OF
some sort. There was silence for some
moments as I stood at the foot of the
platform. The princess leaned forward
In her seat to study me closely, and 1

In Drussenland."
My aIlusion to the treasure had an
electrical effect upon my audience
The princess rose TO her feet, and the
steel rang nightly as every sword
leaped from It's scabbard. The priests
bowed low, and shout after shor
made the massive walls echo again.
Only one man seemed unmoved at

all I could see The ball, hit fair
swung onto foul ground and went into
the door Of that little barn ten feet
from the foul line. Mcclure was
chasing 1t as hard as he could. The
ball went into the door with Mcclure
ten feet behind it, and he dived after
1t as hard as he could. 1t looked as
II he would get the ball out Of the
barn and hold the runners at second
and third, but as he disappeared a
bunch Of Highland fans who were sit
ting near by ran over, shut the door
and bolted 1t. That made 1t look like
home run. The runners. seeing what
had happened, slowed up and began to
trot around the bases, thinking 1t was
a home run and that the game was
over. They didn't know Mcclure.
When the first runner was turning
third Mcclure ran to the window in
the barn loft and shot the ball at the
plate, catching the runner by 20 feet
and retiring the side. He had climbed
the ladder and chased to the window
to make the throw. And then they had
the nerve to protest the game and
start fight, claiming the play wasn't
covered in the rules. It took me ~
minutes to lick the biggest guy In
their crowd, but we took the ball
home, which proved we won the game
