He has also made splendid showings

His work on Thursday will be watch

That All-Star infield looks mighty
good on paper, and there is little
doubt but that they will live up 70
their reputation. Stirlith, Wingate,
Smith and Bonnor are the quartette OF
inheiders that will stop the drives OF
the Chinks.
A record-breaking crowd should be

He saw, clearly silhouetted against
the glowing oblong of the window, the
Mephistophelean profile of Seneca
Trine. distorted with a grimace of the
cruelest Joy that ever heart of man
conceived. He saw Marrophat ap-
proach his master with drunken
swagger and q speech which. though
indlstinguishable to the unseen au-
ditor. unquestionably afforded both Of
the other men ample excuse for co
static glee. Toward its conclusion
Mr.. Marrophat apparently capped the
peak of jubilation by fumbling In his
coat pocket and bringing forth some
thing which strongly resembled q sim

Now when he had contrived to
master his mirth, the cripple made =
gesture which eloQuently abolished
this card, a gesture which said quite
plainly: "All that IL finished. Tho
thing has served its purpose! To
hell with it,"
Whereupon. with q smart jerk of his
wrist, Mr.. Marrophat sent the card
spinning and sailing out through the
open window to lose itself in the night.

time searching for It in the deep dust

two other strangers Whose earlier ap-

that one day memorable beyond all
others In Mosquitoes history charged
out Of the Mountain house and inter-
rupted the elder devil with cries of
greeting and jubilation.
The leader OF these answered to the
name OF Marrophat; his companion
was . person named Jimmy. Mes-
quite acquired this information
through paying close attention to the
substance OF their communications
with the cripple. More than this, how
ever. Il learned little. Something
seemed to have been accomplished BY
the two. something that was highly
gratifying to Seneca Trine: for he was
chuckiing almost mirthfully when
lifted from the car and carried into
the hotel.

they disappeared behind that bed

But what Marrophat had overlooked
was the proximity to the keg Of some
several sticks Of dynamite. masked by
. dlm OF earth that had fallen from
the crumbling wallis.
When the blazing fuse dropped
sparks into the blasting powder this
last exploded right willingly and the
dynamite took it, cue without the
least delay.
The resultant detonation was ter
rinc. The bulkhead was crushed In
like an eggshell barrier. Part Of the
walls fell in. but the tunnels and shaft
remained intact Tho released flood
streamed out and spread swiftly to the
farthest recesses Of the burning tun

Half-blinded and stiHed as he was By

Alan struggled with himself until his

Immediately before him dangled the
hoisting bucket and rope.
Surrendering the care OF Rose to
Barcus, Alan climbed into the bucket
and stared upward. examining the
walls OF the shaft for a way to the
top.
There was none other than the most
difficult: gaps too great to be bridged
by climbing showed in the wooden
ladders.
The one feasible route was via the
rope. And there was nobody at the
top to work the windlass-and Alan
hoped there would be nobody to op
pose his essay.
He addressed himself to the tnsk

But without her aid he would not
