once asked the same question of the
great Mordecai Brown. He averred
that the point was covered in the
rule book. | handed him the book
and asked him to kindly show me
where it was. He looked and looked,
but never found it, and had to give
up the case except to remark that
he knew well enough it was a balk
all right, and so it is everywhere con-
strued.
BY the way, it is worth noting that
a balk does not entitle the batter ever
to his base, but only such runners as
are already on base. With no runner
on a pitcher may make all the balks
he likes and nothing will happen.
1t is perfectly possible, though, for a
pitcher to have a very puzZling way
of throwing either to home or to a
base without one being able to tell for
certain Just where he is going TO
throw, and that without committing a
balk. This is easier for left handed
men than for right-handers: but !
have seen the latter kind who could
SO twist and distOrt their bodies at
the waist, after starting a seeming de-
livery to the plate. that they were able
to completely fool the first base run
ner into starting for second. and who
then succeeded in wrenching their left
foot around so as to thrust il straight
out toward first base after all and to
squarely face that sack before COM
PEELED to turn the ball loose. In a case
like this the pitcher has gone through,
seemingly, with the motion so far to-
ward a plate delivery that the runner
has not thought it possible for him TO
change and get It TO first base in
stead. Yet the pitcher has succeeded

this is true, "all right, all right" it
has always puzzled me immensely
why they don't go on and include here
another way of violating good pitch
ing manners that umpires will every
where be shocked over, but which is
not stated in the rule book anywhere.

nothing specific in the rule book

If they had fired before he won the
woods they might have brought him
down as he had brought down that
rabbit the afternoon before, But, odd
ly enough, they forebore, and with a
shout Of defiance he gained the forest
path and was speeding like stag to-
ward Bear mountain.
An hour later he dropped exhaust
ed upon the ground inside his cave.
1t was bears hole, cunningly hidden
on the mountain side. Among that
waste of .burned-over pine stumps
none could hit upon it save by acct
dent, and that Ben did not anticipate.
1t was not fear that made him pant
like marathon runner, but wrath
and self-contempt.
MolIie was traitress! He had been
fooled by chit Of girl, for whose
sake he had suffered two years In
the penitentiary. Anger overcame all
other feelings. He would show heri
He would show them! What should
he do?
For an hour he lay thinking, gnaw-
ing his lip in rage. His passion for
her had been so strong, his love so
large a part of his existence, that the
revulsion was terrible. He must con-
trive some punishment commensur-
ate with the crime. Among the hill
women there could be none other so
base as to betray her lover, as MoIlie
had sought to betray him. He had
recognized one of the men in the par
lor as Frank Merriman, the sheriff.
He had been a sutton for MoIlie's
hand before she promised herself to
Ben. Doubtless he had persuaded her.
Ha! He has his plan. It flashed
into his brain ready-forged in the fur
mace of his wrath. Doubtless Merri-
man would be at her home the fol-
lowing night, Her father, the bed
ridden old man, would be helpless.

and fro upon the mountain side. The
shadows heightened as the sun de-
clined; at last the fiery orb touched
the horizon. Shouldering his rifle he
marched doggedly through the scrub
until once more he saw MoIlie's cabin
outlines against the darkening sky
upon the further ridge. Even as he
watched a tiny spark flashed out
from the parlor candle.
An hour later he was lying upon
his stomach outside the cabin. Inside
he saw Frank Merriman, smoking in
one corner. Mollie was laying the
supper table Occasionally she stop
ped before the sheriff and seemed to
plead with him. Ben gritted his teeth.
If only Merriman would lay aside
his rifle. But he kept his clasp of it
even at the supper table; it was only
later when he arose that he placed
it for a moment against the mud wall.
The watcher knew that his time had
come. MoIlie's hands were en- Merri-
mans arm and she was pleading very
earnestly. Ben fancied that she was
crying.
He sprang to his feet and rushed
through the open door. He saw in
distinctly; the world was revolving in
a fiery mist, through his weapon.
Next moment, too enraged to fire,
Ben had dropped his rifle and his
hands were on the sheriff's throat.
To and fro they wrestled. The
table was knocked down. The clumsy
chairs went spinning across the
room. The candle was dashed to the
floor, and in the bewildering night
each only knew that he was fighting
for life with an implacable adversary.
