Goodness only knoSs," the young
man answered c~heerfully. He would

make him understand that we had
plenty of time, but he was mulish as
he generally is when he gets a foolish
notion into his head. SO | daresay
we'll meet him on his way back-or

side!"
Taking the seat next to the chauf-
feur, he gave the word to drive on;
and they slipped away from the loca-
ton of the mining camp, saluted by
cheers from the miners.
The road dipped sharply down the
m~ountainside to the bed of the canyon.
The car moved smoothly and swiftly,
coasting: only now and then was it
necessary to call upon the engine for
power with which to negotiate an up
grade or some uncommonly long
stretch of level road
Half an hour passed without a word
spoken by any member of the party.
Each vas deep in his or her W es-
pecial p~reoccupation: Alan turning
over plans for an early wedding: Rose
hugging the contentment regained
through her lovers protestations;
Judith lost in profoundest melancholy;
Urine nursing his rage, working him
self up into a silent fury whose conse
quences were to be more ~far-reaching
than even he dreamed in his widest
moments.
Its first development, for all that,
was desperate enough.
The aged monomaniac occupied the
right-hand corner of the zeal seat.
Thus his n able hand was next to
Judith, in close juxtaposition to the
revolver in the holster on her hip.
Without the least warning his left
hand closed upon the weapon, with

Alan's head.
AS ne pulled the trigger Judith flung
herself bodily upon the arm.
Even SO, the bullet found a goal,
though in another than the intended
victim. The muscular forearm Of the
chauffeur received It.
With a shrek Of pain the man re-
leased the wheel and grasped his
arm.
Before Alan could move to prevent
the disaster the car, running without
a guiding hand, caromed off a low
embankment to the left and shot full
tilt into a shallow ditch on the right,
Smelling its passengers like peas from
a broken pod.
Alan catapulted a good twenty feet
through the air and al'ghted with
such force that he lay stunned for
several moments.
When he came to, he found Barcus

his friend had arrived on the scene
Of the accident.
When damages were assessed II
was found that none Of the party had
suffered seriously but the chauffeur
and Seneca Urine himself. The former
had only his wound to show however,
while Urine lay still and senseless at
a very considerable distance from the
wrecked automobile.
Nothing but a barely perceptible
respiration and intermittently fiutter-
ing pulse persuaded them that the
flame of life was not extinct in that
poor, old, pain-racked body.

The Last Trump.

Toward the evening of the third
day following the motor spill, Judith

a bedchamber on the second floor of
a hotel situated in the heart Of Cali

Behind her Seneca Urine sat, ap-

WILLIAMS CLASHES WITH M'LOUGHLIN
 AT TENNIS TODAY

Brookline. Mass. Aug. 6.-Norris Williams, 2d, of Harvard, national defeated Nathaniel w Niles yesterday afternoon. 6--1, 60, and 6-1, and thereby earned ther ight to challenge Maurice E. Mclaughlin of California for the Longwood singles trophy this afternoon in the finals It avs one of the worst tennis days pos sible, but notwithstanding that fact there was an unusually large gallery on hand. and Williams and Niles dis played some exceptionally good tennis Of the 20 games only four went to deuce, and Mics won his two games entirely on errors by the champion.
 Niles was handicapped, more so than his adversary, because of the weather
 The continual mist and drizle caused Niles's glasses to become constantly clouded, and that fact hurt his chances many time when he seemingly had chances for poillsg. For two sets ne spent most of his time cleaning his glasses of the moisture, but in the third he gave it up in despair and de- cided to play under that handicap.

SHERWOOD MAGEE, 31 TO-DAY, FINDS LIFE
 SAD PROPOSITION

Life is very sad and disappoint- ing proposition at best. Ask Sher- wood Nottingham Magee, former cap tain and outfelder of the PhiIlies, and this year with the Braves. Sherwood will slide past his thirty first mile stone today, having been born on August 6, 1884, but birthdays are never very eonsoling to baseball play CTS, whose professional careers are r5Ver very long.
 Magee has good and sufficient req son to assume Gloomy Gus attitude toward existence on this mundane aspheroid.

Can't Make Extra Base1its Upon Days
 Prizes Are Offered

Boston, Aug 6-It must be that or ganizaffons offering prizes to big league players for doubles triples and runs have a hnnch that it is backward season and are not taking very heavy elances. for every time this season these prizes have been offered, hits and rush have been scarce It was only short time ago that the suf- 4ragfsts offered a fve-spot for every run scored in the Chicago New York National League game. Just one run was registered during the game, Frank Schu1te Of the Cubs getting it.
 In a recent game in Boston we'll known shoe organization offered shoes as prizes for the best batting average of the day and a pair to each man making double or a triple Dhmy Lewis with one hit in two times up won7 the $10 pair Of shoes and Barry and Cady were the only men who were able to make extra base hits and get some new footwear
 Under ordinary circum stances with two such heavy hitting teams as the Tigers and Red Sox batting, doubles are as numerous as singles in some instances. but that day was an ex- ception, only three pairs of shoes be- ing won.

his virfle young manhood to a vain pursuit? With the light of a high resolve shining in his eyes, and a look of determine ton in his expressive countenance. Sherwood hlssee pc tween his clenched teeth the follow ing words:
 ssNo-10. .o0o times. no.''
 So it came about after the conclu- sion of last season. when the Phllhes finished in sixth place and all seemed dark and hopeless, that Magee decid- ed to shake the dust of Philadelphia from his tootsies and go away from there He began flirting with the Feds-as many Phi1lies had done be- fore hin-and the Feds received his overtures gladly. At this juncture in human affairs Magee was told that if he would stay by the old ship he would be sold to Boston.
 Oh, glad wordst The hard hitting eutheIder probably didn't fall on President Bakers breast and weep with Joy, btu he felt like a French a medal on said soldiers buzzum and cusses him on both cheeks. Saved! 1! At last he was about to realize those dreams of his youth, when he was playing ball with Allentown and Car lisle in his native Pennsylvania. Ae- cording to the public prints of that era, Sherwood emitted the following words when told the glad tidings:.
 "At last I am with a pennant win ner and with a worlds champion club Y ou may be assured that I will play better ball in Boston than have ever played in my life, because my aInb1- 4ion has been realized.
 Alas, for high hopes! Magee went to Boston and was given the glad hand by the Braves. And then what happened? We ask you, in all seri- ousness. what happened?
 Why, the dratted Phillies innedi7 ateIy began playing a brand of base ball which made it appear that they hal bought a through ticket to Pen nantviIle, while the vaunted Braves stopped along near the bottom of the second division. Is that any way for Fate to treat a star ball player and a regular fellow
 Sherwood broke into the National League with the PhfIlies in 1904, and. although he is still comparatively young. he is veteran in experience. He was born in Clarendon, Pa, and played independent ball with Allen town and Carlisle before breaking in- to the big league He is an excep- tionally timely hitter and in 1910 he led the NatinonaI League swatters with an average of .331, while in 1907 1 he was second with .325-

Kansas is now a very different state from what it was in the terrible grass hopper days which the old-timers are so fond of telling about-a period when the pioneers lived in sod shan ties and were often hard put to it to get enough food to keep body and soul together.

Aug. 6-splendid hur1ing by Ray Caldwell and Ray Fisher en- abIed the Yankees to capture both games of the bargain day bill from Branch Hickey and his 1owly St. Louis, Browns at the Polo Grounds yester- day afternoon.

 Fisher allowed the Browns only two scattered hits in the late game and after the fourth inning nary a, Brown reached the initial sack. But still Ray had to work harder for his tri- umph than Caldwell. for up to the eighth inning Loudermilk piNched just as we'll as Fisher. if not trif1e better. Fisher was in constant danger of be- ing scored upon in the first four ses- sions, while the Yankees never had 2 chance to dent the home plate until the eighth.
 Tn this session Loudermilk weaken ed from the terrific strain and the Yankees trapped him for a trio of bin gles. which netted them a pair of runs and the game.
