Manuel quit work without leave he be
Swallowed. One afternoon when Man
uel was missing a message was sent
to Gonzales apprising him of the fact,
and he sent out persons In every d.
rection to look for him.
Manuel had gone to meet his sweet
heart at a spot near which a little
stream boiled and dubbed down a
declivity to a river below. The place
Of meeting was about a hundred yards
from the stream and surrounded by
thick tropical foliage. The location.
including the stream, was difficult to
penetrate for any one who did not
know of an opening In the thicket
which Manuel had made and concealed.
Manuel, having quit work, darted
into some bushes and crawled into a
wood. through which be made his way
to the trysting place. There he threw
himself on the ground to wait for
Maria, who was to come from a diff
ferent direction. But Maria did not
come. She had seen the persons sent
out to learn where Manuel had gone
and prudently remained away.
Manuel, lying fat on the ground.
smelled petroleum. 1t did not seem to
him that the oil could have been spilled
In such a wild place. and it occurred
to him that perhaps be was OF oil

little hole In the ground The deeper
he dug the stronger the smell. and at
last at the bottom Of the hole there
was a thimbleful of oil.
Manuel 0 and stood on his feet.
He saw in that little hole a lifelong
happiness with Maria.
Half an hocz after the time that be

turn. On nearing the edge Of the
thicket he heard voices and shrank
back. Returning to the stream. be

door. Chatterer was sure that It hadn't
been there the day before. 1t was very
queer-looking thfng-very queer. indeed
And then he spied another queer-looking
smaller. What could they be? He look
ed at them suspiciously. They looked
harmless enough. They didn't move He
ran few steps toward them and scolded.
Just as he scolds at anything new he
finds out Of doors. Still, they didn't
where he could look right down on the
queer things. He was sure now that they
were not alive. The biggest one he could
see all through. Inside was something to
fiat with funny bits OF wire on top. II
looked as IL 1t was made of wood. and
in the sides were little round holes. too
small for him to put his head through.
Leave them alone" said a small voice
inside Of Chatterer.
But want to see what they are and
find out all about them" said Chatteref.
mo good ever comes Of meddling with
things you don't know about" said the
small voice.
but they are such queer looking things
and they're not alive. They can't hurt
me-" said Chatterer.
Nevertheless, he ran back to the pile
Of corn and tried to eat. Somehow he
had lost his appetite. He couldn't take
his eyes off those two queer things down
on the floor.
Better keep away" warned the small
voice inside.
''It won't do any harm to have closer
look at them,'' said Chatterer.
So he once more scrambled down from
the pile OF corn and little by little drew
nearer to the two queer things. The
nearer he got the more harmless they
looked. Finally he reached out and
smelled of the smallest Then he turned
up his nose. Smells Of mice muttered
Chatterer. Just common barn mice.
Then he reached out a paw and touched
1t. ''Pooh!' said he. It's nothing to be
afraid Of" Just then he touched one Of
the little wires and there was a sudden
snap. It frightened Chatterer so that he
ecurried away. But he couldn't stay
away. That snap was such a funny
thing and 1t hadn't done any harm. You
see he hadn't put his paw in at one OF
the little holes or 1t might have done
some harm. Pretty soon he was back
again meddling with those little wires on
top. Every once in a while there would
be a snap and he would scamper away.
1t was very scary and great fun. By
and by the thing wouldn't snap any more.
and then Chatterer grew tired OF his
queer plaything and began to wonder
about the other queer thing. No harm
had come from the first one and SO he
was sure no harm could come from the
other.

Chatterer Grows Too Curious.

Everybody knows how curious Peter
Rabbit is. He is forever poking his wab-
bly, little nose in where 1t has no busi-
ness to be, and as a result Peter is for
ever getting into trouble. Whenever
Chatterer the Red Squirrel has heard a
new story about Peter and the scrapes
his curiosity has got him into Chatterer
has said that Peter got no more than he
deserved. AS for himself, he might be
curious about thing he saw for the first
time, but he had too much sense to med
die with it until he knew all about It.
So Chatterer had come to be thought
very smart, quite too smart to be caught
in a trap-at least to be caught in an
ordinary trap.
Now. a great many people manage to
make their neighbors think they are a
great deal smarter than they really are,
and Chatterer Is one of this kind. II

the Federal League has already cost
the two major leagues over hundred
thousand dollars which has been add
ed to the players contracts. 1t goes
without saying that there has not been
the slightest hitch between the play
ers and their clubs this winter so far
as the amounts they were to receive
are concerned. With the "outlaws' In
mands acceded to. but the amount
mentioned would not go very far when
distributed among the members of six
teen major league clubs. Most of the
PLAYERS are showing good business
tracts. for II the Federal League
should succumb the players who have
signed for one year only would no
doubt be asked to stand a cut the fol-
lowing season. Players who have
signed two-year and three-year con-
tracts have protected themselves
against reduction OF pay. for time
at least.
Edgar Willett, the Detroit pitcher who
is reported to have signed a Federal
League contract, should be able to get
better terms from the new league than
he has had for several years as a member
of the Detroit club. 1t is a fact that VIII
let's contract with the Tigers last sea-
son called for but $500. There was
time a few years back when Willett drew
as much as 1900 from the same club.
Willett's habits. however. have not been
OF the best and Jennings signed him at
the low figure with a bonus attachment
which was to be paid in the event that
the player took good care OF himself.
Though it is the general opinion that
Eddie Plank. the marvellous veteran of
Connie Mack's pitching staff. has but few
more years to spend in base ball. Mack
gives It as his opinion that his veteran
will be star for at least five years yet.
Plank has reached the forty mark and
yet he continues to show remarkable form
nearly every season. He did think OF
quitting last year. but Mack persuaded
him to continue. for he realizes that to
lose Plank would come pretty near to kill
ing his teams chances for the pennant
