played fine ball
Parks, the Tech high pitching
mainstay, was not used at all. He
is being saved for the G. NJ. A.
game next week which will be a
much harder game to capture than
the one yesterday.
Hit Ball Good and Hard.
Taking everything into consider
alton the game yesterday was a
fair sample of an opening game in
the prep. league. The men played
rather ragged at times but showed
that they can deliver the goods
when it comes to batting. In pre-
vious years the prep. league teams
have been noticeably weak with
the stick and the extra work put in
at batting practice this year has
not been wasted. Both teams bat
ted well yesterday and if they keep
improving at the same rate the
prep. league will have some slug
gers at the end of the present sea-
son.

CHAPTER Xxx.

If Gloria believed that she had put
to flight for all time such gentlemanly
assassins as Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Ryan,
her feeling of triumph did not last
long. As the door into the hall was
still open she did not dare make a
move in Wrights direction. She de-
termined to close the door and pull
the washstand in front of it, wedging
it under the knob, before trying fur
Their to succor the injured man. When
she walked toward the door. it again
framed the forms Of Ryan and Kelly
AS a result of a short conference Just
out of earshot, they had decided to
return and get their man.
What do you want?" Her heart
sank
We're lookin fer a man." Kelly
snarled
And he come into this room, too"
Ryan added doggedly. We don't
want to make you uncomf table, lady,
but we gotta git that man.
The way he said it made Gloria feel
that he meant business. All she could
do was play for time and pray for
Mrs. Hayes to return.
There's no man here" she ex-
planned in her most winning manner.
You can see that plainly for yourself.
| came over from the mission to take
care of this sick woman. You are
only making her worse by bursting
into her room in such a rude fashion
Please go out gently; she must have
it perfectly quiet"
Turkey Ryan so far forgot himself
in the presence of his betters as to
grin at this explanation

sound Hitherto the girl had not
feared for her own safety, but his
surly remark frightened her. The one
thing that kept her steadfast was the
thought that she was protecting the
man she had loved; yes, the man she
now loved more than she ever had
She did not know how he happened to
regarded her; she only knew that she
loved him, that she would give her
life a sacrifice to save him.
Ryan next appealed to Little Ella
Ella, that guy come in here Where
is he? We amt goin' to be scared
by any fool girl. She don't know who
wants him. Now give i'm. up"
Don't say word" Gloria told her

RECIPE FOR CANDY PUDDING
How to Make and Serve a Delicious
CONNECTION for the Christ
mas Season.

Grind in meat chopper half-cup-
full each of shelled nuts, best seeded
raisins, figs, dates, cocoanut, candied
cherries and candied pineapple, and
very small amount OF citron, says the
Youths Companion Spread the in
gradients on the center of a large mar
BILE slab Boil together two cupfuls of
sugar, the milk of a cOCOanut, half a
thimbleful of salt, half a thimbleful
of soda two tablespoonfuls of cream
and one tablespoonful Of butter, with
just enough water to cover them.
When the mixture spreads, or
seems hard enough to handle upon be-
ing dropped into cold water, remove
it from the fire, and pour it over the
chopped fruit. Stir it constantly with
two forks until it is cold enough to
knead Work the mixture until it is
smooth and well blended, press it into
square, shallow pans, and leave it
there until it is perfectly cold. Cut it
into pieces to fit small pasteboard box
es, and wrap it in oiled paper. Wrap
the boxes in scarlet paper, and tie
them with holly ribbon.
This candy, if properly made, will
not be at all sticky, but will slice thin
without clinging to the knife.

They sorrowfully grouped them
