"The Wolf" at H;ppodrome.
When Jules Beaubien's father died.
the young man found himself heir to
Ia big fortune. But on his death bed
his father confessed that twenty
years ago he met a squaw of the
Ojibway tribe and that girl child
was born,H She was now up in the
Nipissing country with French Can
adfan family that had adopted her.
Old Beaubien's last words TO his son
exacted promise that he find his
half sister. educate and care for her
and give her liberal share Of the
estate. AS soon, as affairs could be
settled, Jules started to find An
nette. Arriving in the Nipissing
country, he found that the family
had moved, but he was informed that
a woodsman, Baptiste LIE sGrande,
could tell him all about the girl, as
he had been her sweetheart. Baptiste
tried to- tell the story but his rage
would not permit him to be coherent
and Father Paul continued. He told
Jules that the seducer had abandoned
the girl and gone back to America.
Annette knowing she was disgraced,
ran away from her foster parents.
She became delirious but she never
mentioned the man'G name. When
her child Wasg born she Wandered out
into storm and with her babe in
her arms, died, and the wolves had
eaten her and the child. The rage
of Jules and Baptiste was terrible.
hey joined hands and swore to find
this man and kill him. In the Indian
summer, Jules and Baptiste put up
at MacTavish's house. Two other
men arrived, Mr.. Mcdonald, a civil
engineer and his assistant, who were
surveying for Canadian railroad.
MacTavish's daughter, Hilda, a
strong and beautiful girl of Swedish
type, did the cooking and housekeep-
ing and it was not surprising that
Mcdonald and Jules soon noticed that
each were contesting for the smiles
of the Scotchman's daughter, and Hill
da was not averse to the pleasantries
of the good-looking boarders. Soon
the rivalry between Jules and Nc
Donald became apparent. Jules loved
Hilda, while the other man was sim
ply playing for dishonorable advan-
tage. One day the men admitted
their rivalry face to face. Jules was
willing to play the game fair, but de-
manded Of Mcdonald If his intentions
were honest. The rogue laughed and
admitted that he had wife in
America. In his bravado, he told OF
an affair some years ago with little
half-breed girl up in the Nipissing
country. 1t was stlle story Of An
META. Jules sht aid have killed him
on the spot, but one impulse pre-
vented. He was man Of honor, he
could not assassilate. He must fight
this fiend. man to man, and it would
be before the. day was spent Then
he must also tell Baptiste who would
also want to kill him, which he
would If Jules fell in the fight. Nc
Donald, feeling that he was losing
ground with Hilda. planned to work
her ruin through her father. He told

The two fast games of the Church
league were the best ever witnessed
in Keokuk. Friday nights games re-
suited in victory for the Germans
over the Presbyterians, 1915, and for
the Catholics over the Baptists, 1915.
CA large crowd OF rooters from all
churches was out Friday night to
help their teams in the best set Of
games ever played on the local floor.
The first game was a little more
even of the two, and 1t was anybody's
game from the very start to the last
second. While little rough as Of
necessity when two teams are so we'll
matched and anxious to win, yet 1t
was the kind of fighting that tingles
the blood Of the spectators.
"a In the second game the st. Peters
man got the start by small margin
at the first and held 1t for most of the
game, winning out by the same dis
lance they led at the start. Some ex-
cellent free throw records were made
by the sharpshooters Of each team.
which makes better showing than
when great many chances are miss
ed, as was the case In the first game.
The work Of Referee Dadant Of
Hamilton, is praiseworthy, as he is
ION the job" at all times, and his fair
ness could not possibly be improved
upon A general satisfaction and, gooo
feeling is prevalent among the play
ers of all teams, and while there are
times in the heat OF the game when
they come together pretty hard, it en-
genders no i'll feelings. It is this good
sportsman spirit that makes the ca
reer OF any town in athletics, especial

Eioht Thousand Jackies March.

San Francisco.-Eight thousand blue
Jackets and marines-the largest
armed force the American navy has
ever put ashore in time of peace or
war-were landed Thursday from the
combined Atlantic and Pacific fleets,
now lying in the harbor, and marched
through the streets of San Francisco
in the most notable parade the city has
ever known.
For four miles and half, along
streets lined and canopied with colors
and in review of never ending
crowd. the fighting men of the fleets
made their way to the martial tunes
of their shipmate bands and to cheers
that began with the first command to
march and ended only when the sailor
men had again embarked in the small
boats that returned them to the bat
tleships and armored cruisers in the
roadstead.
Twenty-Five hundred soldiers of the
regular army. in full dress array, gra-
ciously acted as an escort to the Wis
iting men of the sea and We're literally
applauded. Rear Admiral Evans, com
manding the fleets, and the six other
rear admirals in command of squad.
rons and divisions rode in carriages.
