COMMENTS ON THE GAME
LUCKY LAKELAND.
Still one game ahead.
Brown worked his little old bat
overtime yesterday, getting three
out of four. He pilfered two bases
also.
Ebby Sawyer's two hits also helped
out in the run-getting.
Schroeder got in a few tight
places but good old pitching helped
him out.
What it takes to beat out an in
field hit Benny Franklin has It. The
little fielder is sure fast on his feet.
Benny says he doesn't care much
about that outfield at Winter Haven.
Well, we got Barlow copying us
now. They went and beat Tiger
Bay by the same score we beat Win
ter Haven.
Poor old Surrency sure plays in
hard luck. One of the best twirl-
ers in the league, too,
Billy Garletts had on one Of the
old Lakeland uniforms. 1t must
have been his hoodoo for he famed
three times.
Well, fans. we go to Barlow to-
morrow and you want to get busy
and make preparations to go over
and root. We want that game and
also the double header Tuesday here
at Lakeland.

communication, of course, is meant
to answer many other mothers
throughout the land, Mrs. Smith be-
ing singled out doubtless because her
name is SO representative. Mrs. John

that the President should have writ

appointments registered. Let IL be

hind Surrency. The Winter Haven
twirler was right, tanning thirteen
men and walking but one, while
Schroeder was not quite SO fortu-
nate as he walked three and famed
but eleven. Only one earned run
was marked up, the others resulting
from errors. With two men on base
in the second, Meharg turned loose
a wild one over Browns head, let
ting in Winter Ravens two lone

two-bagger and an error; one In the
fifth on two errors and a single by
Sawyer; one in the sixth on singles

two in the ninth on two singles and

 They turned once more to seek the guard. Once more he led them for ward. This time they all took con- cealment back of door which Bartel must pass as he left the train.
 Nervous, eager to be off the train and Into safety as soon as might be- Bartel was early in hurrying his lug gage to the door. and himself followed it even before the train was coming to Its stop at Grahoffen town. He passed by the place of concealment of the three conspirators, and hearing some slight sound turned to see the face of Count Frederick staring straight at him-to feel at the same time the iron arm of Roleau cast about his neck. The sinewy fingers of Count Frederick supplemented the assault of his man, and between these two Bartel was helpless. He felt hand rifling his pockets, but as for himself could make no outcry. Just as the train slowed up at the entrance into the yards. they flung him to the floor. where he lay limp.
 T have it." cried Count Frederick, and held up the Gretzhoffen half coin before kitty's eyes. He placed it then in his own pocket.
 Why not give 1t to Roleau as an impartial third party?" asked Kitty demurely.
 Count Frederick caught the chal- lengo and responded to 1t.
 Very well,' said he. "Roleau him. self shall be the lord high keeper of the coin until further orders. But look yonder"
 AS he handed Roleau the coin. he nodded now to the window, behind which could be seen the ranked sol diery of Grahoffen, filling the space of the station platform. Apparently they had been summoned to receive the agent of the king.
 They passed back swiftly to the rear of the train, and as 1t came to a stop all three of them dropped off on the farther side. While the officials and the soldiery were searching the train the fugitivcs were making their way off to tho mountain side where there seemed at least some slight chance of escape from discovery.

but departed just too soon to welcome the return of one of the fugitives they sought-none less than Kitty Gray herself!
 Safe from immediate pursuit, Kitty paused for a little rest and little food. What should she do? For a time she was undecided, but presently her resolution was made.
 T will try it," said she to herself. "l will go to the palace direct. will see if can get access to the king!"

 "The front-the war-mademoiselle what do you mean? What war? We are not at war!" But even as he spoke the blood shrank back from his face. There is war. your majesty, if may say it." rejoined the young girl "Yonder at the edge of the neutral lands, this side of Grahoffen. men are fighting. Their army is out-they have besieged our people"
