But presently the cry of the hounds
grew louder = louder still, and the
scent of the brackish water was only
beginning to fill his nostrils. Madly
now Joe plunged into the scrub. Sud-
denly he emerged upon little creek,
one of the numerous tributaries that
fed the bayou.
A woman was kneeling on the
bank, her back toward him, and oc-
cupied in bailing out bot. AS Joe
approached she started and looked
eagerly toward him; then seeing the
negro, she sprang to her feet with a
little cry.
Where is he?" she asked. "Mr.
Bentley"
Joe gaped at her vacantly. Then,
seeing the boat, he made toward it.
The woman's figure barred his path.
you can't take it! :" she cried. TITS

Joe thrust her aside and made for
the boat. The cry of the bloodhounds
grew louder and suddenly ragged

stumbling. painting, collapsed at the
woman's feet She cried out and
threw her arms about him.
Suddenly Joe remembered wom-
an who had loved him. She was
black woman, but she had meant all
to him that this girl meant to Bent
ley. And in flash he recognized the
situation. Bentley had escaped, too;
the bloodhounds were after him, and
it was Bentley, not he, who occupied
the stage at that moment.
AS the man rose, sobbing for
breath, and turned to Joe, the negro,
who had already one foot in the boat,
stopped and indicated that Bentley
should enter. He even assisted the
girl in; he watched her haul Bentley
after her, saw them pole off-and

not transfer their attention to the
new scent as long as they could fol-
low the old, which ended beside the
stream. They would wait there I'M
til the wardens came. Joe sprang
through the swampy mangroye
clumps, making toward the bayou
afoot. The cries of the hounds died
away.
What impulse had possessed him to
yield the boat to Bentley and that
girl, when he could have had it for
himself? He had aided his bitterest
enemy to escape-Bentley, who had
called him niger" and cursed him
every time he came near him in the
convict camp. Bentley, who had re-
fused to eat with the black prisoners
and carried his point. And he had
given Bentley freedom.
Sweat rolled down the big blacks
face. He cursed and shook his fist
impotently toward the bayou.
The cries of the hounds aroused
him from the quiet jog into which he
had fallen. They had taken up the
pursuit again, with the wardens.
Evidently his tracks had been seen;
it must be known that two men had
escaped. Once more Joe was run
ming toward the bayou, stratched
and torn, seeking to reach the water.
But it was always difficult to discover
the limits of the inlets in those man
grove swamps. The bayou might
have been mile or five yards away.
AS Joe ran the ground became more
slippery, the mangroves denser; his
feet stuck in the soft mud. The
hounds were gaining on him. He
stopped in dispair, and at that in
slant, with loud bowls of triumph,
the beasts leaped from among the
palmetto and raced down into the
mangrove.

SOME DONTS FOR
 TRAPSHOOTERS
A Few Hints That Will Help the
 Beginner

Trapshooting is a sport that demands an alert mind and keen Judgment. The shooters degree of skill depends entirely upon his own ability to think and act quickly No one else can do 1t for him. There are, however, a few simple facts in the shape of "don'ts' that may be kept in mind by the novice.
 Don't worry if you miss a target. Get the next one and the following.
 Don't worry If when you call pull" the target breaks as it leaves the trap Take things calmly. Tell the puler to pull another and let him keen on doing 1t until a good one is thrown, or wait until the trap Is fixed.
 Don't worry because the referee decides you missed a target when you (and per- haps some of your friends also) thought that you had broken it. No referee Is infallible His decision, however, goes, so accept his ruling in a sportsmanlike manner.
 Don't worry if the puller pulls the trap too fast or too slow. Don't shoot at the target but drop your gun from your shoul- der and then get ready to call 'pull' once more. The referee watches the game very closely. He knows whether the target went an appreciable length of

TRAP AND FIELD

time before or after you called, and he also knows that the rules provide for a trap to be pulled promptly. Very often, however, 1t Is the shooters own fault when the puller balks him in this way
 In giving the word of command to the butler to pull the trap ,avod three mis- takes:
 Don't call in a low, hestating voice, otherwise you run the risk of the puller not hearing you or if he does hear you the pull Is apt to be somewhat slow. Call in a sharp, clear voice; the butler Is watching you and Is keyed up to pull i'm mediately he gets the word, so that if you call In the manner suggested you in sort of way startle him and he in- stinctively pulls promptly.
 Don't call In too loud a voice, for the effort is quite liable to disturb your aim by exnausting the air in your lungs, caus- ing you to inhale when you should be doing nothing but pointing the gun at the target.
 Don't call immediately after the man ahead of you has fired. Give the referee time to call Dead" or Lost" as the case may be; and at tournaments give the scorer also time to answer back. If you call too quickly you run the risk of having the trap not loaded or having the puller miss your call on account of the referees decision or the scorers an- swer being mixed up with your voice.
 It is also a good plan not to call ''pull'' when the shooter ahead of you has missed a target, until the target has reached the ground. It might happen that your target took the same flight as the pre- vious one, and thus your eye would be liable to see both targets, and your cal culations be disturbed. The same caution could proftably be observed when, al- though the previous target was broken, I large piece was left sailing through the air. This may seem a small matter, but small things count when you are trying to make straight score.

GUN CLUB SHOOT

Only a small squad of shooters were out to the regular weekly shoot of the Gun club. The threatening weather kept most of them away. P. B. Hummer, the Chattanooga professional led the shoot Ing. scoring 91 out of his 100 shot at. c. J. Barr was a close second with 90 breaks to his credit.
 The Postal Telegraph Gun club was rep- resented by three members. The handi- cap for the DuPont trophy resulted in a win for Jackson, who broke 45 out of the 50 in the handicap.
 In the double target events, Hummer won out by breaking 3s out of his 50 shot at. also made the long run of the day by breaking 35 without a miss.
 Several members of the Birmingham Gun club paid a visit to the Bessemer Gun club on Friday, and had a most en- joyabe time with the Bessemer boys. The Bessemer Gun club announces that they will give a one day tournament in July. The Alabama state shoot will start at the Birmingham club on June 21 and con- tinue for three days.
 Scores were made as follows:

came known in the spring of 1902, when the Athletics were playing Baltimore Bill Bernhard was pitching and Lajoie was on second when the news broke that the injunction had been sustained. It was In the eighth inning, but rather than in- curr the displeasure of the courts Connie Mack at once yanked Bernhard and La joie from the game. A few weeks later Charles Somers, owner of the Cleveland Americans. came to terms with Bernhard and LaJoie. but during the entire season of 1902 these players had to avoid the state Of Pennsylvania. In 1903 peace was de- clared between the American and National leagues and the troubles of these noted contract Jumpers were over.
 BERNHARD COMES
 TO MANAGE VOLS
 In 1908 Bernhard was released by Cleve- land to assume the management of the Nashville club. The Volunteers won the pernant that season. In 1909 and 1910 Bill Bernhard remained at the helm for the Volunteers with fair success, and tEen signed to manage Memphis. For three years Bernhard lead the Chicks, but had indifferent success. due to, various reasons not all attributable to his leader slip. Bernhard's last appearance on the ound was in Chattanooga this spring.
 The views of the veteran on the many changes in baseball during his career are interesting:
 Baseball has changed considerably, and for the better said Bill, 'and the changes come from the influx of the col legc men in the game. Ball players are new treated as gentlemen by the man. agers, as the majority of the performers are educated young men who cannot and would not stand for the old-fas ashioned ridings' managers of old were wont to give to aspiring youngsters. The younger players still say that baseball Is slavery, but In my opinion 1t is a pleasant kind of slavery, and the ability of many of these youths saves them from the ribbon counter or driving a truck"

WARD ROSECRANS'
 ACCOUNT SQUARED
From the New York Herald.


 Albany.-For years Ward Rosecrans of Otsego county hunted and f1shed in wan ton disregard of the game laws. Brought up in forest environment, he knew no reason why he should respect the laws of the woods and the waters. Sc he caught trout under size He shot Geer out of season. He didn't care a hoot and no one ever caught him. A clergyman from Otsego appeared at the office of the conservation department yes erday wiNh s25 to give to the state. Rose crans had died and had asked as a dying wish that the sum be given to the state ito atone for his violations of the law He had been converted to Christianity and in his last hours recognized the evil of his ways.
 The clergyman not only offered the small sum, but said MT. Rosecrans had asked him to add $75 to the amount. The s1Oo, he said, would. in the dying mans opinion, square his accounts for life to the state.
