ECKMAN PULLED another
bonehead in the eighth. Brown

ond. Stevens made bad throw
to Raymond. Brown was stand
ing on the bag when Raymond
fielded the ball and reached out
to tag him. Maybe the umpire
thought he owed Tacoma some
thing for his former rotten de-
cision, but anyway, he called
Brown out. Both teams were
complaining about his jumps
throughout the entire game.
BOB BROWN, manager of the
Beavers, had many nice things to
say about Les Patterson, the Lin
coin high school boy who is acting
as second string catcher for Van
couver. Brown said he would
keep Patterson permanently.
HAMILTON, third sacker for
Vancouver, was badly spiked in
the right leg when he attempted
to steal second in the fifth inning.
The wound gave him much trou-
BILE during the rest of the game.

LEFTY RUSSELL, the best

league, did the hurting for Van
couver, and allowed only three
hits, two of which were doubles
by Harper and Connolly. Suther-
land was noticeably nervous, but
pitched a good game, although he
did get into one bad hole In the
fourth.
CITY COMMISSIONER PETIT

fans in the grounds. He confessed

Sol Levinson, veteran ringsteI

gloves, who came to Tacoma with
Sammy Good for the last Eagles
show, has given the following In,

"Sol Levinson says that no box.

Seattle. Sol states that the deal

and that IL he has to stand for thai
sort of thing he prefers not to be
in the boxing game.
Why Sol explains, 'Meehar
knocked out Mcintyre in the very
first round with a punch to the
stomach and the referee wouldn''
count. Mcintyre was down ten OF
twelve seconds.
THAT the Seattle papers agreed
with the referee that McIntyrt
was entitled to the decision is no
surprising, says Sol, because thu
experts who report the boxing
contests are all kids who have

spun the first ball right over the

that he had to stoop over to re-

speciality is not STOPPING.
VANCOUVER SCORED a run in

Santoine smiled derisively. you
have been very careful, Eaton, to
act as though the attempt to run
you down could not have been a
deliberate attack. Just ten days
ago." Santoine went on, 81 was
found unconscious in my berth.
My condition was such that for
three days l was not allowed to
receive the particulars of what had
happened to me. When / did learn
them, l attempted to make certain
deductions as to who it was that
had attempted to murder me, and
why. l am going o tell you a few
Of my deductions.
''The first thing I learned was
the similarity of the attack on me
to the more successful attack on
Warden, IL days previous. The at
tack upon me was made In the
same way, perhaps even with the
same instrument. The desperate
nature of the two attacks, and
their almost Identical method
made 1t practically certain that
they originated at the same source
and were carried out-probably-
by the same hand and for the same
purpose.
Il found that young man
yourself-had acted so suspicious
ly both before and after the at
tack on me that both Avery and
the train conductor had become
convinced that he was my assail-
ant. Moreover you admitted that
you were the one who had called
upon Warden the evening of his
murder. You were also the only
person on the train, aside from
my daughter and Avery, who
knew who l was. Also, there was
a telegram which definitely show
ed some connection, unknown to
me, between you and me, as we'll
as a previous suspicious telegram
in cipher, which were were able
to translate. You were going to
say something about that telegram
in cipher?" Santoine asked.
mo-" Eaton denied.
II think you were; and l think
that when / said you were not
surprised by the attempt made to-
day to run you down, you were
also going to speak of it; for that
attempt makes clear the meaning
Of the telegram. 1t said only
that you were known and follow
ed. Now l know you feared the
man who was following because
you expected him to attack you.
Knowing that, Eaton, ] want to
call your attention to the pecu-
liarity of our mutual positions on
the train. You were occupying
section three in the third sleeper.
In the night, the second sleeper
was cut off. That made me oc-
cupy exactly the same position as
you had occupied before the car
ahead of you had been cut out"

you mean you prefer to
shield him?"
In his intensity, Santoine had
lifted himself from his pillows.
Who is that mann" he challeng-
ed. And what Is that connec-
ton between you and me which,
when the attacker found and dis
abled me instead of you, told him
that-in spite of his mistake-his
result had been accomplished?
Told him that If was dying, a
repetition of the attack against
you was unnecessary? Who are
you? Come here-close to me,
beside the bed"
Eaton hesitated, then obeyed.
Bend overt"
Eaton stopped, and the blind
mans hands seized him. He felt
the blind mans sensitive fingers
searching his features, his head,
his throat. Santoine certainly did
not recognize Eaton. More than
this, Eaton could not tell.
Now your hands," Santoine Or
dered. The blind man felt over
them from wrists to the tips of
the fingers; then he let himself
sink back against the pillows, alb
sorbed in thought.
You may CO." Santoine said
at last.
Santoine reached for the house
telephone and gave directions to
have Blatchford await Eaton in
the hall below.
Eaton was distinctly frightened
by Santoine's clear, implacable
reasoning regarding him; for none
of the blind mans deductions
about him had been wrong-all
had been the exact, though incom-
lplete truth. 1t was clear to him
that Santoine was close-much
closer even than Santoine himself
| yet appreciated-to knowing Eat
on's identity; 1t was even prob
able that one single additional fact
the discovery, for instance, that
Miss Davis was the source of the
second telegram received by Eat
on the train--would reveal ev-
erything to Santoine. So Eaton
knew that he himself must act
before this happened. But so
long as the safe in Santoine's
study was kept locked or guarded
he could not act until he had re-
ceived help from outside; and he
could not hurry 1t or even tell
how soon IL was likely to come.
For several minutes after Eat
on had left the room, Santoine
thought in silence.
"Where are you, HARRIET" he
asked at last. "How did he act?"
She reviewed swiftly the con-
versation, supplementing his
blind apperceptions of Eatons
manner with what she herself had
seen.
"What have been your impress
sions of Eaton's previous social
condition, daughter" he asked.
"Have his friends been business
men? Professional men? Society
people?"
The deep and unconcealed note
of trouble in her fathers voice
startled her. She answered. 81
don't know, father"
81 want you to find out"
I'm what way?"
You must find way. ! shall
tell Avery to help. Harriet, there
is certain correspondence which
Avery has been looking after for

out.
