Douglas Beats

In all the years that are past and gone Douglas has been iu the game with a ball team, and the object, aim and purpose of that team has been to beat Juneau. Sometimes they have been successful and sometimes the season has closed with tears and re- grets. Many of the old players in whom we placed great confidence have grown older and laid down their bats, to join the ranks of those who can only cheer when we win and sigh when the game goes against us. As bright stars, Tex Zimmerman, John Stoft, Fred Purln- ton, Geo. Brown and score of others have ceased to shine And now on the Juneau side they are even trying to relegate that noisy Dolly Gray to the ranks of the hasbeens.
 The, second game of the 1913 series was played on the Douglas grounds Sunday, and all Island folks were happy to note that the Douglas team is in every way su erior to the bunch of strangers wearing the Juneau uniform Jimmy Chamb bers, who occupied the pitchers box with grace and precision, was ably supported by every man on the team. Even the foxy Malloy could not stay the tide-aud everybody ad- mits that he is d real ball player. The day was raw aud cold, which made it uncomfortable for both players and oulookers, but Douglas won easily

Entering he found himself confront
ed by an oldish boy on the opposite
side of the railing. Inside the railing
were the rugs, settles and chairs of
comfortable anteroom. 1t might have
been the publishing Office of religious
weekly.
The boy respectfully asked his name
and whom he wished to see. Argyle
handed him his card.
"Mr Kayton," he said. The boy
opened a gate in the railing and invit-
ed him to sit down. As Argyle sank
on to chair the boy disappeared. In
less than sixty seconds one Of the many
doors opening off the anteroom swung
back and a man entered holding the
card.
The room then looked more than ever
like the Office of a church newspaper.
The newcomer was bareheaded, also
bald headed, and wore a dark Office
coat over a black vest and trousers.
His face was round, his eyes round and
pleasant, his cheeks slightly pink and
his expression one Of the utmost benev-
olence. But his mouth was thin Tipped
and opened very little when he spoke.

"Oh, no" exclaimed the girl hastily.
"Well" Mrs. Wyatt pursed her lips
and breathed even more rapidly.

Miss Thompson looked uncomfort-
able. II think it's very unjust, Of

Wyatt shook her head darkly.
"Mr. Argyle was very strange man.

hard to understand how man could
cut his own son off without cent and

son, with the manner of one anxious
to turn disagreeable conversation.
Miss Thompson, I'd say that, too,
but money changes people SO. I mean
to say-take a perfectly fair minded
person like Mary, generous to fault.
and you never can tell what money
will bring out in them-do you know
what mean?'
Miss Thompson was spared the pain
of further discussion of the subject
by the temperance of Finley with the
announcement that the detectives had
come. Miss Wyatt said she supposed
they might as we'll come right in.
Hadn't we better go?" suggested
Miss Thompson after Finley had de-
parted with the instructions.
"Yes-yes." agreed Mrs. Wyatt,
Fastening toward the door. 81 don't

They scurried into the morning
room and closed the door behind them
just as Kayton and one of his men
entered from the hall.
