Todd went to the bat still nursing
grudge against the handsome

the season, which had been lost Ia
the hotel boys because Todd had lost
an inning through the simple mistake
OF trying to wave his hand at May
Plat, and keeping his eye on the ap-
preaching ball at the same time. He
missed the BAH and Mays cheerful
roofing could not compensate Todd
for the error.
The Littleville players could not
forget this horried blunder; the no.
tel boys would not allow them to.
Among the sea of snow-white para
soils that marked the motley crowd of
onlookerS was one of blue; its owner
bore a great deal of good natured
railiery with sweet composure. Once
her eyes met the keen brown ones of
Link Stevens and her smile and blush
sent him stoutheartedly to the fray.
Dick Mifhn came to her for a word
OF encouragement

She waved white gloved hand.
But, see, Dick. what hosts OF friends

the idea-he wanted to meet the big
