CHAPTER xI.

Fifteen minutes later Count Won F1tz
cautiously crept beneath the window
and whistled. Mrs. Blazes did not an
swer. He visited louder. Still no an
swer.
IF you are gone, I'm glad he said.
Cheer me by not replying"
But no such cheer was in store Tor
him. Mrs. Blazes noiselessly opened
the window and whispered:
"Sh! Be careful! Did you get my
lhat?"
Not yet" the Count told her. "Dey
haff to make him. | wouldn't trust
dot Daffie woman vent to anudder
hat place. Der name is Terese."
But they won't know the model,
Mrs. Blazes feared.
Il eggsplain him perfectly. | tell
her shape like a smashed balloon,
yellow on der outside NIT a garden OF
red puppies"
Red poppies, you silly man!
Puppies or poppies--dey look chust
as bad to me from now on"
You'd best go right back and stay
there until It is finished" Mrs. Blazes
suggu ted.
No. I told dem to sent 1t here, so
! make sure I get it,"
That's good" see said, with a tone
of relief.
Now you come right oud und ven
der hat comes I giff 1t to you, una
away you CO."
Come out?" she asked sarcastical-
,ly. Am I an aeroplane?"
"Lissen. Make a rope yet, und l
pull you oud"
AN ideal" she exclaimed with de-
light 'T'n tear up the sheets and
things In here, tie them together IN
a rope, and let myself down"
Splendid! l go und watch for der
messencher NIT der hat"
The Count strolled away, while she
closed her window.
A young couple came walking slow
ly through the flower garden. 1t was

spell had been cast upon them. Arm
IN arm, silently they strolled until
they neared the bench.
Suddenly Pigeon said.
Lets sit down here. I'VE got TO
see Harry through his racket, you
know'-evidently continuing a conver-
sation which had lapsed some mo-
ments before-"but after that"
He looked down into Carolyn's eyes.
After that?" she asked, softly.
For Carolyn had all woman's intui-
ton, in spite of her young years, and
she diagnosed the symptoms of an ap-
preaching proposal. She did not In
tend to accept him, but no woman will
allow a proposal to get away from her.
Proposals to woman are as the
scalps the Indian brave ties to his war
belt.
After that" said Pigeon, beginning
to sit down, 81 can look after my own
affairs And +"
An ominous, ripping sound came.
Mrs, Blazes was beginning to make
her rope, but the young couple, of
course, knew nothing of that. Pigeon
Strengthened up with a jerk and tried
to look unconscious. He did not know
what had given away Carolyn tried
to smooth over his embarrassment by
saying;
Isn't il lovely EVENING""
Then she began to sink gracefully
upon the seat, when an even more
ominous ripping sound was heard.
Carolyn abandoned her project with
due and proper suddenness, while
Pigeon mopped his brow, and said, in
fustered tones that he tried to make
sound matter-of-course:
81 thought earlier today that we
might have some rain"
He lifted his foot to rest it careless
ly upon the bench, not caring to try
to sit down any more, but with the
movement came terrific rip as though
something had torn loose forever.
He dropped his foot and tried to
whistle popular air
Carolyn looked the other way and
became nervous.
q can't do a thing with my hair to-
night" she observed, lifting her arms
to pat 1t into shape.
R-r-r-rip!
Her arms dropped to her sides, sol.
dierwise
q think" Pigeon said c. tely,
that the evening is the mo- Mt
time Of the day"
He sat down, in spite Of the ripping
that still sounded.
Wont you be seated? he asked
politely.
Carolyn slowly, carefully allowed
herself to sit beside him, and to her
evident relief there was no further
sound of ripping.
Isn't 1t funny" Pigeon said, how
lonesome a fellow gets at this time OF
the evening, II he is all alone?"
Now, don't get sentimental" Caro-
lyn said, tapping him playfully on
the shoulder
simultaneously with her movement
there was sudden, short rip. She
drew back In confusion.
rs It wrong TO get sentimentalP"
Pigeon asked, carelessly dropping his
arm along the back of the seat and
behind her, and at the same time
hearing another vicious rip, He pulled
his arm back as though his hand had
encountered a pin.
IT'S silly to be sentimental" Caro-
lyn declared, without motion Of any

Splendid Material.
As every member OF the Yale eight
of last year. except Capt. Romeyn, is
again in the boat. the material is mag
nifcent for the coming season and it Is
regarded as a crying pity that it should
be made the victim Of an cratic coach-
ing policy.
II is an open secret that the profess
slonaI coaches, John Kennedy in rowing
and Billy Lush in baseball, were not
given a free hand in the selection OF the
candidates for the teams. The captains
had final and really absolute authority
and the advice OF the coaches IN even
the selection OF the players and rowers
was not taken in many cases.
While there are some Of the critics
who believed that favoritism entered
Into the final choices, this view is held
by only a few. That the undergraduate
captains were. however. less qualified
than the paid veteran coaches to pick the
athletes through skill has been apparent
through the showing which has been made
when the teams, as finally selected by the
captains. came to their final contests Of
the season.
Friends OF both Lush and Kennedy
have protested against the teams that
were put on the field, after having been
coached by them, being considered the
real. best products OF their coaching, but
these veteran coaches have consistently
kept their counsel and refused to be in
terviewed On the subject.

RECORD OF SHoTTEN
IN LAST -FOUR YEARS

That tiny speck on the map Of Lo-
raine County. Ohio, known to postal
clerks and a few others OF that section
Of the Buckeye State in which It Is
situated as Elyira, has a bunch that
some day in the not too distant future

For what Ty Cobb and J. Franklin
Baker have done to bring these for
merry obscure places to the notice OF
the public Bert Shotten hopes to do for
the city of his birth. and the citizens
OF Elyria swear by him.
Bert Shotten is not exactly a new
conner In the ranks Of the major
leagues. He has worn a St Louis. uni
form for several years. But 1t is only
recently that he has impT essed the fans
with his ability and been hailed as a
youngster with a bright future on the
diamond. Shotten's greatest asset is
speed AS yet he~has not learned how
to use II to the best advantage in
circling the base paths. When he does
1t is predicted he Trn, Ne credited with
base-stealing record that will COM
pare favorably with those Of Cobb, Milan,
and others.
George Stovall has not been with the
Browns long enough to perfect Shotten
in the art Of base running. When the
Browns go into training next spring the
ST. Louis boss will give him a special
course in this department OF the game,
and he is free in stating that he con-
fidentIy expects to make a great star
out OF him Even in the short time
Stovall has been with the Browns he
has improved Shotten wonderfully by
his instruction.
In beating out hunts and little hits
there is not a player in the league
who compares with the st. Louis in

such authorities as Hal Chase. II is
not often that the Yankee first base
man is caught nappine. Shotten. how
ever, put one over on him last season.

Hal was caught unawares because he
never dreamed the player possessed

game In st. Louis.

outfielder crossed the sack in safety.
That night, after the game, Chase,
in discussing the play with his team
mates, said some highly complimentary
things about the youngster, and no til
was lost by Hal thereafter In handling
his hits.
Shotten is a fairly good hitter. His
speed. too. enables him to get many
hits that less speedy players would lose.
But, aside from this. he is improving
rapidly in batting, as well as in base
running.
shottsn was first picked up by the
Browns in 1909 He played in only seven
teen gam-s that season and did not get
a chance u show anything. The follow
ing year he vas sent back to the minors
for additional seasoning. He spent part
OF his time with the Omaha Club, OF the
Western League, and finished the 1910
season with Wheeling, being recalled In
the fall by the Browns.
He got a regular Derth in the out
field in 1911. Considering the fact that
he was with a taiI-enu Ju'it he made
good record batting - and fielding
$50.
Last season. although the team was
more or less of a joke. he made his
work stand out quite prominently and
showed no little Improvement in bat
ting and base-running. He played
through the entire season without miss
ing a game, boosted his batting average
rs points and stole ten more bases
than in 1911 When the Official records
were published Bert suffered a severe
shock. for he had anticipated his rating
with much pride, and discovered that a
clerical error robbed him Of credit for
stealing ten bases. This was rectifed by
Ban Johnson in a special bulletin.
Shotten was born in the Ohio town
mentioned in the opening paragraph
twenty-five years ago. He began his pro-
fessiOnal baseball career in 1907. He is
a well-built chap. close to six feet in
height He throws riSht-handed, but
bats from the left side of the plate, which
gives him an added advantage in getting
down to first in record time.

The negotiations that have been pending for some time between F. w . Hoar and w. F. Kennedy, holders of the options on the Needles group and adjoining claims, and the Guggenheims have been concluded, and exploration by churn-driIling will probably be started in the not distant future
 The property under option compris- es the Needles group of 27 claims owned by Dan R. Williamson and 13 claims owned by l.. H. Trimm, w. Phillips, Theodore Phillips, and Messrs Hobbs and Martindale. The total consideration is $625,OO0 of which S5O0,000 si for the Needles group and $125,00O for the other 13 claims. F. w. Hoar of Globe, manager for the Southwestern Miami Development company, conducted the negotiations that resulted so successfully
 The claims are situated three miles west of the town of Miami and are bounded on the east and south by the Barney group, which is now being eX- plored by the Lewisohns, the Monte zuma group, now being churn-drilled by the Southwestern Miami Develop ment company, and the Schultze group under option to the South Live Oak Development company. They are situated on and around Needle

Rowland was in charge of the churn-drilling operations at the Ray Consolidated mine when that great mine was being developed two years ago.

great copper ore deposits, employing a large number of miners, and has
 always been we'll looked after under ground. We are so positive of the ability of Captain Hodgson, however,
 that we venture the prediction that
 he will do some clever mining in the Blsbee basin. The ores there are
 not unlike those that are met with in
 our Lake Superior country, being much
 like our soft and hard hematiteS.
 The ground can be cared for in the
 same manner, and there's no better
 miner anywhere than the new general
 superintendent of the Copper Queen
 company. He has made records n
 Lake Superior in getting ore to day
 light, and he can do it in Arizona, be-
 cause he knows the way No man has had better training in handling
 mining conditions such as the copper mines of Bisbee and that region will present, and we feel that the Copper Queen company is to be congratulated equally with Captain Hodgson.
 While he was in BiSbee, Captain
 Hodgson spent several days under ground in the mines of the Copper Queen company, and informs Iron Ore that the company holds a great pos session in that camp; one that will keep them busy for great many years to come. He joins with others familiar with the conditions there in the statement that Bisbee is a camp by itself when it comes to quality of output, and it was partly because of the assured permanency of the ore deposits and the opportunities present. ed for winning them at a fine profit that decided him to cast his lot among the good people of that place. He d. so visited the company's mines at Ma cOZari. which he fOund in excellent condition and where there is splen- did equipment for their proper oper- ation. The Copper Queen smelters were also inspected, as was the smell l ter of the Greene-Cananea company, in Mexico, in. which individuals of the Copper Queen company are among | the largest shareholders. 1
