in time to see dim figure enter
the kitchen. The lightning re-
vealed Lucille in a dressing gown
with her hair over her shoulders. In
the single fash of light she appeared
to be The most beautiful thing that
had ever seen.
She turned the flashlight on the wall
and finally rested its ray on the box
Of dog biscuit! She went over to It.
picked up one Of the biscuit, pressed
It to her cheek and was about to, bite
1t when she hastily DROPPED it back
into the box, put out the light and
stood perfectly still, listening.
There was another sound on the
stairs!
When looked to see what Lucille
was doing she had disappeared. Prob
ably she, too. was hiding somewhere
near, reasoned.
This time there was less delay.
Whoever was coming downstairs was
carelessly assured and was scratching
matches on the wall a. he went along
to guide his progress. He entered the
kitchen. It was BOpp, clad In the
sort Of pajamas thought he wore.
He was laughing to himself az he
came In and went straight to the box
Of biscuit Hs took one out Of the
box.
And he ate It!
Before that I may have disliked the
man, but now A smile of enjoyment
spread over his features, plainly dis
cernible when the lightning flashed.
Evidently the dog biscuit were dell.
cious. At last he finished and started
to leave. / was about to breathe a
sigh of relief when I happened to
glance toward the shelf where the bis.
cult were kept.
The box was gone. The nend was
taking them with him. Without a
thought for poor Tootles. who would
doubtless starve to death, he was go
ing to eat all her food.
With one bound I was upon him.
The thought Of that poor dog steeled
my heart Igrabbed him by the throat,

The wreckage Of that kitchen was
beyond the descriptive powers OF .

ed on the kitchen door near the table
where he had struck when l threw
him. The table itself had overturned
on to the weeks supply Of water In
glass bottles and had apparently bro
ken most of them. Lucille was stand
ing, pale and disheveled, but still
beautiful, in the doorway of the pantry
where she had been hiding.
After an interval Bopp laboriously
picked himself up and waded toward
the stairway through the torrent OF
distilled water. which was streaming
across the floor.
There's your dog biscuit" he sneer-
ed. pointing to Tootles, who had dis
covered the box and was gulping down
the contents as fast AZ she could.

I turned to Lucille. She had dropped
into a chair and had buried her face In
her hands. She was crying.

Lucille looked up. Then 1t won't

Gross and Pcirson Of Baseball Team

Cambridge, Mass, May 14.-Har-
wards varsity ball nine has lost it's
captain, Bobby Gross, and the second
best pitcher of the squad, Hank Peir-
son, both of whom leave Cambridge
today for the fourth government Off
GERS training school, which starts at
Camp Devens tomorrow.
The loss of Gross and Peirson will
greatly weaken the Crimson team. as
Coach Duffy has no surplus material
to fill in the breach. Wolverton will
probably be shifted to shortstop and
Bright will be used at second. Peir-
sons loss will mean that the uar-
ward pitching corps will consist of
two men, O'Kecfe and Johnson, as
Erb has left college.

like stormy passage for the Quaker
lad, but Thomas came back and was

National Commission Must Pass q
Players Retiring and Then Returning

Cincinnati, May 14.-All major
and minor baseball league presidents
we're instructed yesterday by the Ma
tional Baseball Commission to notify
their clubs that all championship
games in which a voluntarily retird
player participates before his restoraX
ton to good standing, are illegal, and
hence, cannot be included in the rec
ord of its leagues championship
games. The notice was issued after
the commissions attention was called
to the fact that players under reserva-
ton by major league clubs as volun-
tarily retired players have played
with minor league teams.
The commission stated in the findF
ing, however, that the right of volunA
tarily retired players, who are in the
military or naval service of the Unit-'
ed States, to engage in games ass
m embers of their teams representing
their post or department, is beyond
question: and as such, they may play
against National agreement clubs in 4
benefit or exhibition games prior txey

the active list of the club entitled to
their services.
