WHY have heard of you"
stammered Rita. How odd! Ida al
ways used to speak of her city cou-
sin and hoped that some day we
should meet. But you have lived in
the city all your life"
Pretty nearly" said John smiling.
"But 1 thought you were so lone
ly and told my brother to speak
to you"

laughing. cat least, l was"
The ice was fairly broken, and
soon they were all chatting like old
friends, in the intervals of the per-
Torrance. Rita found the young
man delightful, and Jim-well, Jim
was pleased, because somehow it
seemed to ease his own guilty con-
science. But in the midst of the
mirth thin wisp of smoke was seen
to curl out of the side of the stage.
A moment later thick, black cloud
drifted toward the audience.
Fire." shouted somebody.
The stage manager appeared and
held up his hand. "There is no dan
ger!" he said quietly. please leave
your seats in an orderly manner and
go toward the elevators"
The panic was checked, but as the
three drew near the entrance those
who were in front came running
back, shrieking. The cause of the
new alarm was manifest A roaring
sheet of flame shot up each elevator.
The top floor of the hotel below was
blazing.
Caught in the terror-stricken
crowd, Rita looked at Jim in dread.
She was being crushed by the seeth-
ing throng that surged back from
the elevators toward the parapet.

in a niche in the parapet, while he
himself and Jim stood guard in front
of her. Around them surged the wild,
uncomfortable crowd of pleasure
makers, but she rested securely. And,
still faint and almost number by the
realization of her predicament, she
heard her brother say:
tits all right! Here come the en-
ginesp
The crowd cheered wildly as the
fremen appeared, and presently a
stream of water from each of a dozen
high-pressure hoses was playing
upon the upper story. The smoke be-
came more intense, but the flames
died. And presently firemen appear
ed among the throng.
Its all right now" they were
shouting. Leave by the elevators,
please"
Although much of the upper struc-
ture of the hotel had been burned
away, the elevator shafts were not
seriously damaged. The elevators,
which had been at the bottom of the
cages, were soon running up and
down and conveying the crowd to
safety. Rita, her brother, and their
new-found friend found themselves
at last in the hotel lobby, which was
quickly assuming it's normal aspect.
White, and still shaken, Rita sat
down.
81 don't know how we can thank
you enough" said Jim to John Camp
bell. 81 hope this is the beginning of
a friendship that will last" 50
'T hope So" answered John, look
ing earnestly at Rita.
Somehow they seemed waiting for
her to speak. But as she did not, Jim
blurted out:

have three games in the present series.
The Giants have seven games left on
their schedule, four with Brooklyn and
three with the Braves. If they take the
three from the Braves, they will be in
third place. If Brooklyn loses the next
two games to Philadelphia at the same
time, they will stand two games and a
half behind the Dodgers, who then would
be in second place. Then the Giants are
billed to meet the Dodgers. If they can
turn in four straight victories over the
Dodgers and should the Braves help out
by defeating the Phillies five games out
of six in their last series, the Giants
will be tied for first place on the last
day of the season. They can win the
pennant if the Braves take all six games
from the Phillies, provided the other
foregoing things happen.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Sept. 29.-Only one point
behind the Brooklyn Dodgers and with
the advantage of the "jump" game of
the all-important series tucked away,
the Phillies stand poised today to drive
their way into first place in the Ma
tional league.
The Dodgers cracked badly through
their collision with the fast travelling
Phillies yesterday, but are prepared to
fight desperately for the struggle today,
which will spell whether they retain
their lead or skid into second place.
Twenty thousand rabid fans yelled,
cheered and then groaned and moaned
as the Dodger machine showed fine
form, began to hit bumps and finally
cracked open yesterday. Today they are
looking to Rube Marquard, jeff Pfeffer
or Sherrod Smith to take the mound and
regain the lost ground.
On today's game may hang the result
of the pennant race.
The Phillies are likely to present
Eppa Rixey as their pitching choice
and when Rixey is right, he is htard. to
beat.
Nerve was the biggest factor in pull
ing the Dodgers off their lofty perch.
Larry Cheney who has turned in vic
tory after victory of late who has pitch
ed his way past other tense situations,
faltered in the second inning and com
pletely gave way in the third. Two hits
an error and sacrifice fly in the see
ond inning, apparently mnerved him
and when Rixey is right, he is hard to
lost everything. Que man hit safely
and Cheney walked two and mcorkeC
a wild pitch before Jack Coombs wa.
called into the box.
Meanwhile Grover Cleveland Alex
ander was pitching steadily, unrufflet
by the fact that he was officiating il
game which might mean world
series for the victorious club. He wa
backed by brilliant fielding. Bancroft
Niehoff and Paskert sparkled all aft
ernoon.
Good weather was again on tap TO
, today's game. After an extended coli
snap, the sun is beginning TO get bacl
j in August form. With the heat oilini
up pitching arms and taking the kink
out of muscles, the remaining game
of the series will be played under idea
conditions.
a In the American league, the Red SO
have slipped slightly. Three games mus
! be added to the Red Sox victory colum
before they will have the pennant cinch
: ed, in case the White. Sox win all thei
7 remaining contests. The Yankees down

for another contest with them today.

Orphans Remembered.

Mrs. Sessions delivered nice
package OF hose to the children at
the orphans home Thursday. The
hose were donated by her Sunday
school class of the Methodist church.
1t is not surprising that Waxahachie
is the best city in the South when
you consider the generous, kind and
noble people who call ii home.
"Home," How that word makes
our hearts thrill for what child is
there among us who does not love
the name OF home. With this name
We always associate the name of
father and mother, sister and bro
Their. Though we live in mansion
or cottage it is each ones privilege
TO care for those who have neither
father nor mother. and what sweet
christian spirit it shows when the
Sunday school teacher inspires the
little ones TO give. We wish to ex-
press our appreciation TO all who
were so kind TO the little girl while
in the sanitarium. Especially to the
nurses and physicians who were so
attentive. We feel grateful TO the
physicians for their gratis work and
also the board of directors for re-
dueing sanitarium bill. We heartily
recommend the Waxahachie santa
rum and its efficiency 10 one and all
