CHURCH LEAGUE
PUTS One ON SEMIS

With both teams going in mid-sea-
son form Central won from Marshall
ton ON Saturday, sc. The contest was
replete with errors which were attri-
buted TO the condition of the grounds,
they being in very poor shape.
Fletcher, the premier slab artist OF
the Church League had nine strike
outs, numbering among his victims
Schuler and Crouch Of big league
fame as well as Guest. Pete Cassidy's
ysnigan.
The Marshallton bunch held the
lead for six innings and probably
would have walked away with the
game but for Ryley the fast little sec
ond baseman Of Central. In the sec
ond fourth and sixth innings he
worked Bennett for passes and romp-
ed around the bases at will, scoring
each time. These three scores kept
up the Churchmen's hopes and really
won the contest. Bennett weakened
in the last three innings and was
touch for three doubles which com
bined with errors netted FIVE more
runs.

He pinched her cheek and laughed.

were no sooner on the train and snug

she whispered. Then he threw her a
kiss and a wink. She threw him a kiss
and winked too. And he went along
the aisle cycling his cigar gloatingly.
AS he entered the smoking-room, light
ed the weed and blew out a great puff
with a sigh of rapture, who could have
taken him, with his feet cooked up,
and his red tie rakishly' askew, for a
minister?
And Sally herself was busy dlsguls-

on the train, Mallcry's whole soul re-
volted against letting her go. The
vision OF her standing on the plat
form sad-eyed and lorn, while the
train swept him Off into space was
uncomfortable. He shut his eyes against
1t, but It glowed inside the lids.
And then temptation whispered him
its old "Why not?" While it was
working In his soul like a fermenting
yeast, he was saying:
ITO think that we should owe all
our misfortune to an internal taxi

Out Of the anguish or her loneliness
crept M little complaint:

have had two taxicabs."

"I've thought of that, too" he cried,

a handbag. Look, what I've bought"
And he dangled before her startled
eyes a long affair which the sudden
light from a passing lamp-post re

ing red tie.
The old lady touched it to make
sure she was not dreaming it. Then,
emitting further parley with fate, she
snatched 1t away, put it round his

CHAPTER VII.
The Masked Minister.

The Masked Minister.
Being an angel must have this great
advantage at least, thateone may sit in
the grandstand overloo ing the earth
and enjoy the ludicrous blunder Of
that great blind mans buff we call
life.
This night, II any angels were
watching Chicago, the Mallory mix-up
must have given them a good laugh,
or a good cry-accordlng TO their ma
lures.
Here were Mallory and Marjorie,
still merely engaged, bitterly regret
ting their inability to get married and
to continue their journey together.
There in the car were the giggling
consnirators preparing a bridal mock
cry for their sweet confusion.
Then the angels might have nudged
n another and said:
ooh, it's all right now. There goes
the minister hurrying to their very
car. Mallory has the license in his
pocket, and here comes the parson.
Hooray!"
And then the angelic cheer must
have died out as the one great hurrah
of a crowded background is quenched
in air when the home teams vitality
needed home run swerves outside the
line and drops useless as a stupid foul
ball.
In a shabby old hack, were two Of
the happiest runaways that ever
sought q train. They YER not miser-
able like the young couple in the taxi
cab. They were white-halred both.
They had been married for thirty
years. Yet this was their real honey
moon, their real elopement.
The little woman in the timid gray
bonnet clapped her hands and Uttered
like a schoolgirl.
"Oh, Walter, l can't believe we're
really going to leave Ypsilanti for a
while. Oh, but you've earned it after
thirty years of being a preacher"
Hush. Don't let me hear you say
the awful word" said the little old
nan in the little black hat and the
close-1tting black bib. SIN 30 tired
oft, Sally, l don't want anybody on
the train to know It,"
{, = "They can't help guessing it, with
your collar buttoned behind"
And then the amazing minister act
ually dared to say, Here's where 1
change it around" What's more, he
actually did it. Actually took off his
collar and buttoned it to the front.
The old carriage seemed almost to
rock with the earthquake of the deed.
"Why, Walter Temple!" his wife ex-
claimed. What would they say in

VIII.
A Mixed Pickle,


Mrs. Whitcomb had almost blushed
when she had murmured to Lieuten-
ant Hudson:
81 should think the young couple
would have preferred a stateroom."
And Mr.. Hudson had finched a lit
tie as he explained:
Eyes, of course. We tried to get it,
but 1t was gone"
1t was during the excitement over
the decoration of the bridal section,
that the stateroom-tenants slipped In
u%nobserved.
First came a ~futtering woman
whose youthful beauty had a certain
hue Of experience, s~addening and
wisering. The porter brought her In
from the station-platform, led ho to
the stateroom's concave door and
passed in with her luggage. But she
fingered without, a Peri at the gate
OF Paradise, When the porter re-
turned to bow her in, she shivered and
hesitated, and then demanded:
"Oh, porter, are you sure there's no
body else in there?"
The porter chuckled, but humored
her panic,
81 amt cen nobody. Shall l look
under the seat?"
To his dismay, she nodded her head
violently. He rolled his eyes in won
derment, but returned to the state
room, made a p~retense of examination,
and came back with a face full Of re
assurance. Nom, they's nobody
there. Take a mighty small-size bur
giar to squeeze unda that bald-er-
berth. Nom, nobody there"
"Oh!"
The gasp was SO equivocal that he
made bold to ask:
"Is you pleased or disappointed? ?"
The mysterious young woman was
too much agitated to rebuke the impu-
dence. She merely sighed: ooh, POT.
ter, Pm so anxious"
I'm not-now," he muttered, for
she handed him a coin.
Porter, have you seen anybody on
board that looks suspicious?"
'Evyabody looks suspicious to me.
Missy. But what was you expecting
-especial?"
Oh, porter, have you seen anybody
that looks like a detective in dis
guise?"
Well, they's one man looks s If he
was disguised as a balloon, but 1 don't
believe he's no slooch-hound."
well, If you see anybody that looks
like a detective and he asks for Mrs.
Fosdick-"
Mrs. W~hat-dlck?"
Mrs. Fosdick! You tell him I'm not
on board" And she gave him another
coin.
"Yassum," said the porter, linger
Ing willingly on such fertile soil. IN
tell him Mrs. Fosdick done give me
her word she wasn't on bode."
"YesI-and if a woman should ask
you"
What kind of a woman?"
The hideous kind that men cal

"Oh, amt they hldeous, them hand

well, II such a woman asks fol
Mrs. Fosdiek-she's my husbands
first wife-but OF course that doesn't
interest you"
"No'm-yes'm."
IF she comes-tell her-tell her
on, what shall we tell her?"
The porter rubbed his thick skull
"Lemme ee-we might say you
tell you what Well tell her: wegl tel
her you took the train for New York;
and if she runs mighty fast she car
Just about ketch it,"
Fine, fine" And she rewarded

come along with me-"
Her very eyes gasped at this az
founding proposal,
why, Harry Mallory, you know It's
impossible"
Like a sort Of benevolent Satan, he
laid the ground for his abduction:
You'll leave me, then, to spend three
years without you--out among those
Manila women"
She shook her head in terror at
this vision. "ItA would be too horrible
for words to have you marry one OF
those mahogany sirens"
He held out the apple. Better come
along, then"
But how can I? We're not mar
ried,"
He answered aIrily: "Oh, I'm sure
there's a minister on poard."
But it would be too awful to be

She turned away, but he caught her
arm: Don't you love me?"

Put I'll wait, If you will"
With such devotion he could not
tamper. 1t was too beautiful to risk
or endanger or besmirch with any
danger Of scandal. He gave up his
fantastic project and gathered her in.

soul, as he vowed; IN wait for you
forever and ever and ever"
Her arms swept around his neck,
and she gave herself up as an exile
from happiness, a prisoner OF a far

"One mOre-one long last kiss"
And there, entwiued in each others
arms, with lips welded and eyelids
clinched, they chung together, forget
ting everything past, future or pres
emit. Loves anguish made them blind,
mute and deaf.
They did not hear the conductor
crying his "All Aboard!' down the
long wall Of the train, They did not
hear the far-off knell Of the bell. They
did not hear the porters banging the
vestibules shut. They did not feel
the floor sliding out with them.
And so the porter found them, en-
quilted In one embrace, swaying and
swaying, and no more aware OF the
increasing rush of the train than We
other passengers on the e~arth-express
are ware of its speed through the
e~ther-routes on its ancient schedule.
The porter stood with his box-step
tn his hand, and blinked and won

they were observed.
