nothing but sparring. The action pro-

vital.

Gloomy Epitaph That Marks an Eng

Until the early part Of the nine
teenth century, says the Badminton

sport in Devonshire, and many notable
champions of the ring were produced
by the county.
AS a result Of the prominence Of
this sport another epitaph is added to
the long list of those that are notable
on account Of their unconscious humor
Or naive directness.

Tavistock, is a tombstone to the mem

Alkali Ike is dead. He died with
his boots on, as beftted a mar Of his
brave and strenuous character. It
happened in a little silver mining
town in Nevada. Since his arrival,
several weeks before, the residents
had been on tenterhooks. No M

stunts were as varied as they some
times were deadly-and life insurance

dangerous and significant fact that
they should all carry their guns where
they were handiest.
Alkali Ike decided that as nothing
new had been done in the town for "a
hours, 1t was up to him. So he went
to the Metropolitan hotel, and went up
to a room on the second (top) floor.
Going to the window he stuck his head
out and shouted:
"Fire!"
And everybody did. A pleasant time

Godfrey fell into place behind her
and followed her. The girl, with her
head held very high, marched through
the streets. Godfrey, whose anger
was fast abating, began to feel sorry
for her. No doubt he had been hasty
still, she was a public pest Finally
a policeman appeared in sight, loung-
ing at a street corne
The girl swung round and faced
Geoffrey defantly. But just then the
policeman strolled into a shop, and
Godfrey went on.
The girl entered a large hotel. Geof-
frey followed her. He knew by now
that he could not put her to shame
by a public conversation with a po-
liceman. but at least he could learn
or pretend to learn her name and ad-
dress. She went up to two middle
aged ladies on the central sofa, who
rose to greet her.
Then, as Godfrey hesitated, a mar
came up, and the girl, suddenly burst
ing into tears, began to point to her
follower and denounce him angrily.
The man came toward Godfrey and
shook his fist in his face. He was a
stocky Englishman of about fifty, and
he looked as If he meant business.
Happily the hotel hall was almost
empty.
"How dare you modest my daugh-
teri" he demanded.
"How dare your daughter offer me
a white feather in a public placer"
demanded Godfrey. I'm going to
have this thrashed out in a court of
law. l am an American, and you can't
insult an American without paying for
it."
And, pulling out his card-case, he
laid down his card upon a table.
The man picked it up very coolly
and examined it; then he smiled and
handed Godfrey his own. Godfrey
read it and looked more sheepish than
the stout man had done.
"Uncle William" he stammered.

evident amusement. He turned to
one of the ladies'. "Tilly, my dear, this

has begun well-very we'll"
"Why-why-" stammered Geof
frey.
"Well, do you still intend to dral
us into a court of law?" demanded hi
uncle.
I'm sorry" said Godfrey humbly.
Suddenly the girl began to smile
and then she stretched out her hant
and put it in his,
"Ill forgive you if you'll forgive me

WHITE FEATHER
BY FRANK FILsoN.

Godfrey had his eyes on the girl,
like the rest of the passengers in the
London tube" She was a remark
ably pretty girl, in a big hat and wear
ing costly furs, and she held a feather
of snowy whiteness in her hand.
And then she handed it to the young
man who sat two seats away from her,
remarking:
81 think this belongs to you, sir"
The young man flushed crimson,
opened his mouth, gaped, and began
to stammer.
q tried to enlist, but they wouldn't
take me-"
Then why are you not wearing an
armlet?" inquired the young woman.
The young man, as the train stopped
opportunely at a station, got up and
darted from the car, followed by the
amused laughter of the passengers.
The girl walked into the next car
and Geoffrey, now interested in this
incident of English life, followed her.
Presently she sat down opposite a
very stout man with a flaming tie.
Please let me present you with
this feather, sir" said the girl.
The mans mouth opened, Just as
the other mans had done. He blus-
tered.
I'm over forty and l don't have to
enlist. They wouldn't take me-"
"Forty-one is the limit" answered

Five minutes later, when Geoffrey's

Godfrey was utterly taken aback.

Fletcher is Hard
Luck Batter; Never
Draws a Free Trip

One of the mysteries OF the bat
ting averages is why Arthur Fletcher,
the clever shortstop of the Giants,
got so few bases on balls Fletcher
is a frst-class batsman; in fact, he
is about the hardest hitting shortstop
in the business. And Artie is not
batter who swings at bad balls.
Yet during the last two seasons he
has averaged less bases on balls than
any other player in the game. Fletch-
er received only nineteen passes dur
ing the 1915 and 1916 seasons COM
bined. He had only six bases on balls
in l4o games in 1915 and thirteen
in 1873 games last season. Fletcher,
therefore, walked only nineteen times
in 282 games, or an average of but
one base on balls for every twenty
games. His strike-out record is very
consistent. Fletcher struck out thir-
ty-six times in both the 1915 and 1916
seasons.
