Chattanooga, June 7.-(SpeciaI.) Chattanooga and Birmingham divided hOnOrs today in strenuously fought double header. The home team won the first, 8 hot pitching duel between Mar shall and Grimes, by scoring single run in the ninth inning. In the second the Bar0ns had the satisfaction of driving their old teammate, Arthur Johnson, from the mill and winning a well pitched contest for Dickie Robert son. Although the scores were close neither team played briIIiaIF baseball, many errors and worries being in evil dence.
 The first game was won by one of the most peculiar plays ever witnessed in the Chattanooga arena. With third and sec ond occupied and one down, Grimes was trying to pass Graft purposely. Hauser was standing wide of the plate, and had removed his mask. On the third pitch out, Elberfeld signaled the squeeze play. Martina, who had replaced the Lookout manager on the bases, dashed off third, Grimes pitched in too close, Graft reached for the bail, which had nothing OH it and tapped it down in front of the plate, Martina racing across with the only run.
 The Barons went against Marshall at his best in the first game. They had a real chance to score only in the seventh and ninth, and in both cases the wrong end of the batting order was up. Grimes was great in the pinches. the locals being snuffed out when within scoring dis tance. phenomenal first base play by Derrick featured the opening game. The Baron doorkeeper begged two runners out at third, one on an attempted sacri- flee, the other trying to go from first to third on a single back of first. Both plays probably saved runs.

Though Anse Havey strobe up the
steep trail to the crest that night with
long, elastic strides, seeking to burn
up the restlessness which obsessed
him, he found himself at the top with
no wish to sleep and no patience with
the idea of combining his thoughts be-
tween walls.
Anse Havey felt that something was
missing from his life; something of
the barbarian order had become sud-
denly hateful to him. Into the gray
eyes crept a suffering, and the brows
came together in helpless perplexity.
Juanita was a woman of an exotic
race who chose to think that life comes
to perfection only under glass. He
was leader of brier-tangled and
shaggy clan-men who were akin to

comparing himself with the we'll

He found himself wishing that he,
too, was smoother Then he flung
the thought from him with bitter self
contempt and a low oath broke from
his lips. Was he growing ashamed of
his life? Was he wishing that his
eagles talons might be manicured and
his pinions combed?

Anse Havey," he said aloud, Its about

No, he protested to his soul, he had
disliked Roger Malcolm because Roger
Malcolm had spoken of a project of

he thought little of that. and that it
was because of the obvious understand

CAUSED EMPEROR TO WEEP
"This Is the Regiment, Sire" Replied
Leader of Remnant of Brave
Regiment.

German travellers are relating the
following story, which is going the
rounds Of the German empire. En-
perOr William recently expressed the
desire to inspect regiment which had
particularly distinguished Itself at
Verdun, and ordered II to be drawn up
outside his headquarters in the neigh
borhood of the French fortress on the
following morning. The same day the
regiment participated In another furi-
Gus encounter, which wrought terrible
havoc In its ranks, and when next
morning the kaiser stepped forward to
inspect the regiment he only found
small band of 80 haggard soldiers sa-
luting him.
But where is the regimentT de-
manded the emperor, In surprise. with
out for the moment realizing the posi-
ton.
"This is the regiment, sire" the COM
manding officer replied.
At this the emperor broke down and
wept like a child. and the inspection
of the regiment was postponed.

admittance. But a little obstacle
such as that was not a serious deter
rent to Spike. He had defied the
law too long to be baked now in the
interests of Justice and fair play He
had been malefactor with the law
against him; he brushed aside all
scruples now in taking the role OF
benefactor with the law still against
him. The Waterman had his way.
IF the case is as bad as you say
Spike muttered to Helen, we've got
to do something"
Helen shook her head despairingly.
1T may mean millions. Spike" she ex-
claimed. What can we do?" In her
distress she clasped her hands
DO" echoed Spike scornfully. Go
in and open the box and get your prop

But how?' cried Helen, wide-eyed
with perplexity.
Spike tossed his head. II was set

shoulders, and whenever Spike shook

more. That" he declared with much
positiveness, is my business"
A moment later. at the side OF the
bank. Helen, frightened to death. fol

door. He led the way hastily ard
stealthily to the vault, and Helen, with
her key, opened Rhinelander's box. 1t
was while they we're thus feloniously
abstracting their own property that
the Waterman saw them. He turned
in an alarm. AT the police station
where it registered, the sergeant
called out the men and they started
on the jump for the bank.

securities from the box and showed
them TO Spike. AS they turned to

pushed the dummy leather bag into
its place.
The knaves then coolly ordered
their luncheon, ate it-somewhat hur-
riedly-and left the dining car ahead
of their victim.
When slackening speed warned
Ward and Adams thai the train was
nearing Oceanside, they were in no
hurry to start out. In fact, they
Jagged noticeably in their movements.
and Helen and Rhinelander left the
station and took a taxicab uptown
without noticing the change of bags
that had been played on them.
And just at this 1uncture blind
chance itself took hand in the little
game. Two city detectives in plain
clothes had come to meet the train
and were refreshing their memories
by reading a description of two hold
up men expected on it. Scanning the
faces of the incoming passengers for
such a pair as would fit their search,
the detectives noted Ward and Adams
the pair did not quite suit the descrip-
ton, the officers. on general princi-
pies, crossed over to meet them and
stopped them for examination. A
few curt questions and equally voluble
answers did not satisfy the plain
clothes men, who, after some discus
sion insisted that the suspects should
accompany them to the station.
Wards mouth fell as he heard the
order. Uselessly he tried to convince
the detectives that he and his friend
knew absolutely nothing of the hold
up in question. To the station they
were compelled to go and there were
held in cells until the sergeant could
send out a man to bring in the vic
tim of the hold-up for their further
Identification.
To complete Wards chagrin, the
precious handbag was checked in
under the sergeant's desk.
i've got no key. tell you I'm in

tendent of construction Of the Colo

don't know even the contents Of it,
but want to tell you he will hold
you responsible If you touch it."
The sergeant, considering that moth
ing was to be lost by waiting. stuck
the bag grimly under his desk and
ordered the men marched to a cell.
On reaching the hotel in which
Rhinelander had taken Helen, she sug-
gested that while he made his pay
ment to seagrue she would go to the

should bring Rninelander to Ocean
side Learning from the conductor
where the down train would be
tagged. they left their own train at a
convenient station and buying tick
es back, boarded the Las Vegas pas
senger when it stopped.
In the observation car, Rhineland-
er. seated with Helen, was watching
the landscape through the window
when Seagrue's men coming in paid
for seats not far away.
In his lap Rhinelander held a small
bag, and from the care with which
he retained It, Ward surmised 1t might
contain something of especial value.
He called Adams attention to 1t. 1t
was, in fact, in this handbag that
Rhinelander had placed the money
with which he was to make his pay
ment to Seagrue Swapping the bag
and locking it when he left the bank,
Rhinelander had been careful not to
let 1t out of his hands.
Ward, while he sat studying out a
scheme to take a chance on the propo-
sition and at least get the bag into his
possession. presently spoke to Adams:
THE train stops twenty minutes at
Clinton Junction" he muttered to his
companion. I'VE can get hold of a
bag there something like Rhineland-
ers."
No further words were needed to
convey his meaning. The moment the
train pulled into Clifton. Ward and
Adams hurried off uptown to leath-
er goods store. Breaking precipitate-
ly in on the proprietor, they pulled
and hauled his stock about with small
sense of responsibility. Evidently
they wanted bag. but they seemed to
the shopkeeper hard to suit. 1t was
only after much searching and many
hard words that Wards eyes lighted
on something such as he was looking
for.
The diner had been put on and
luncheon called. Rhinelander, taking
Helen started for the dining car, close
ly watched by Ward. No sooner had
the two seated themselves at table
than Seagrue's men following took
seats directly behind them. Rhine
lander placed the handbag at his feet.
Ward made no move until Rhineland-
er became occupied closely with the
bill of fare. While he was trying to
tempt Helen with the varionS deiica-
cies offered, Ward put his foot care
fully out, slid Rhinelanders bag away
with his toe and, unobserved by the
hurrying walters or the busy diners.
