ton for the Camp Cody baseball team
last Sunday afternoon aud went home
packing the long end of n 4-to-C
score. The game, which was in the
way Of a limbering up affair for the
coming Of the Chicago Cubs next
week, was played at the Cody sta
dium. II was cut TO six innings on
account of the band concert, sched-
nled at 3 o'clock.
The Santa Rita team, composed
entirely of professionals, some Of
them with big league experience, had
no particular occasion to show any
thing in the way of nbiliiy,but ut that
were plainly too classy for the Cody
ties, who were out for their first
game Of the year. In the statistics
of the zane, except the very vital
point Of runs scored, the two teams
ran about even. Each amassed -four
hits aud the visitors made two err
rors to the Codyites' three. But the
visitors were playing better ball in
the effective manner that doesn't
show in he score card bat wins
games. which is the most important
thing. Three of their four hits came
in pinches, with runners waiting to
score, whereas all Of the Cody teams
were wasted. Twice Cody Outfield-
er allowed an ordinary long fly 10
float over his dome for three-base
hit. The Santa Ritans made no such
costly hobbies.
However it was by no means a dis
couraging showing for the camp boys,
who used 20 men in the game in or
der 20 give an candidates for the
team a chance TO show something,
while the Santa Rita bunch stuck "a

new scream and a, genuine fainting
fit.
But what could his object be? He
lowered the window on our side. The
rain was now falling in torrents, and
he made movement of annoyance
at having neither umbrella nor over
coat. He looked up at the rack. The
lady's sunshade was there. He took
it. He also took my overcoat and put
it on.
We were crossing the Seine. He
turned up his trousers, and then,
leaning out of the window, raised the
outer latch.
Did he mean to fling himself on
the permanent way? At the rate at
which we were going it would have
been certain death. We plunged into
the tunnel pierced under the Cote
SaintczCatherine. The man opened the
door, and, with one foot, felt for the
step. What madness! The darkness,
the smoke, the din-all combined to
give fantastic appearance to any

part of the tunnel. This would neces-
state a slower passage of the trains
for some days, perhaps, and the man
knew it.
He had only, therefore, to put his
other foot on the step, climb down
to the footboard and walk awSS
quietly, not without first closing the
door and throwing back the latch.
He had scarcely disappeared when
the smoke showed whittier in the day
light. We emerged valley. One
more tunnel, and we should be at

The lady at once recovered her
wits, and her first care was to be-
wall the loss of her jewels. I gave
