3But that doesn't explain why mistook his pri-
vate driveway for the main road"
aThe explanation is simple. Popkin has an arrange
ment with the township authorities whereby he is per-
mitted to operate that miserable fngerboard at the
forks semaphore signal With lever here at the
house he throw that signboard around that it
will point up the road leading into his place. It's the
simplest automobile trap invented. You speed
through Chesterbridge at fifty miles hour, the
stable duty there presses button that rings bell
in the hall here, Popkn pulls the lever that sets the
sgnboard and the gates and two minute later
are in the hands of the enemy and helpless child"
@Wel I'll be ditched!" said I.
AFTER turtle soup the following morning Popkin
summoned us to the jail library. 3Time for our
lecture Gentlemen" said he. Yesterday subject
was sloth bears. Today we shall turn to the humble
gastropods. l have been watching you for signs of
softenng of the heart and I think detect them
in every one of you except Brandon
@Count me in on anything that will get me out of
this place. spoke up hastily.
Popkn eyed shrewdly through his spectaces. Il
suggest that you all find comfortable positions
you can; for it likely that you will be comfortable
before done lecturing you. In the first place,
have told you before, am doing you wrong by COM
pelling you to remain here so long my guests; yet
have strong notion that the end in this will
Justify the means.
AOaoeiSSo eiie1e
l am crazy. Let me say that am willing to submit
to any alenist the question whether the who at
tempts to make human life safe is unbalanced
than the who mper life at every turn of the road
1 will allow you to the alienist and retain
him yourselves, Gentlemen, and I venture to say he
will still decide in my favor; which is something that
has happened yet any where expert opinion
was asked, SO far as my knowledge goes"
Smiling at his pleasantly, he went on. There are
six of you, all notorious scorchers. Primarily you

Walking in the street, you dream of making
man or woman hurry to avoid being trodden by your

None of US had an answer ready.

about the world is what you with your eyes,

BASEBALL OUTLOOK
CONTINUES BRIGHT
Governor John K. Tener Hands
Out Another Timely
Interview
Special to The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Jan. 16. - Governor
John K. Tener came to town yester
day and found occasion to say few
more nice things about the baseball
outlook.
The Governor appeared entirely
pleased with prospects and predicted
a complete victory for organized base
ball in the war being waged by the
Federal League against the major
leagues. The change in the aspect of
affairs during the past few days has
caused the magnates of the two big
leagues considerable satisfaction.
Governor Tener issued a statement
following his meeting with the Phil
lies president which shows how he
feels over the situation at this time.
He says in his statement:
There is nothing in the present sit
uation to cause the least apprehension
to organized baseball The affairs of
the National League are working as
smoothly as could be desired under
any circumstances. All the club presi-
dents are signing their players as fast
as their contracts are received and
returned. BY reason of some changes
In the form of contract, made neces-
sary by the concessions granted the
Players Fraternity at the annual
meeting of the national commission in
Cincinnati, the players did not receive
their contracts as early as usual.
From the daily reports of which ] am
in receipt the players are pleased over
the new changes and in most cases
have signed and returned their con-
tracts promptly.
From present indications, except
where trades have been made or may
be consummated before the season
opens, every club in the National
League will take the field with vir-
tually the same personnel as last
year.
