The high school game was a real
contest although it. started of in the
first inning as if Brat tleboro was going
TO make a runaway match of it, The
teams worked rapidly and the entire
nine innings were played in sc min
utes.
There viii be no game played on
Island park this season in which the
umpire will be called upon to make
more close plate decisions than was
that unfortunate officials task in this
game. Six plays at the plate were
made in Chester 5 half of the eighth in

from r. Adams, each was so close that
il was a question of hair only. Nat

then began the plays to the plate.
The succeeding batters shot the ball
just over the infield for short singles
and every hit called for throw to
the plate and a close play. Brattle-
boro could not come back although the
men hit the ball hard in the last two
innings and Chester left with a we'll
earned game. Knight was called in to
pitch after two were out in the eighth
and the bases full. He struck out the
side in the ninth. 1t was the last
game of the season for the local high

Good work Go to it."
1t was 1 o'clock when Norton turned in
his last sheet of copy and started for home.
Just outside the entrance to the building a
man with SLOUGH hat drawn down over his
eyes stepped forward.
Mr.. Norton?'
Yes" Norton stepped back suspiciously.
The other chuckled, raised and lowered his
hat swiftly.
Good Lord murmured the reporter.

All the way to Syracuse, if you say so,
Well, I'll be tinker damned"

What took place in that taxicab was never
generally known. But at 10 O'Clock the next
morning Norton surprised the elevator boy
by going out. Norton proceeded downtown to
the National bank, where he deposited $4,000
ia bills of large denominations. The teller
had some difficulty in counting them. They
stuck together and retained the sodden APP
pearance OF money recently submerged in
water.
Florence was delighted at the idea of

girl days she had seen the fashionable
coaches go careening along the road, with the
sharp, clear note of the bugle rising above
the thunder of hoofs and rafting of wheels.
Jones was not enthusiastic; neither was be

The countess invited you especially. You

All, in my capacity as butler; very good.

bis secret satisfaction.
The hour arrived, and the gay party
bowled away. They wound in and out Of the
streets toward the country to the crack Of
the whip and the blare Of the horn.
Florenee's enjoyment would have been per
feet had it not been for the absence of
Norton. Why hadn't he been invited? She
did not ask because sne did not care to dis

porter. They were nearing the limits Of the
