Play mt Miami.
He has also received a suggestion
from Bancroft that sounds good and
" the deal is completed it will mean
that the Nationals will go to Miami
and play a couple of games at the
training camp of the Reds. Then the
two, teams will stop OF at Palm
Beach on the way North and after
playing at that famous resort a game
will be played at Jacksonville and the
two clubs would then journey over
to Tampa where two games will be
played on the Nationals training
grounds.
After. those games have been played
the two teams will then journey to-
ward Cincinnati where the games
above mentioned will be played and
then both aggreSations will hike
through several small cities toward
Washington where the last two games
will be played.
As the season will open on April
a II means that Cincinnati must re-
turn home at once in order to get
ready for the first game OF the season.
- May Open Home.
President Griffith made the remark
that he thought that the Nationals
would be scheduled to open at home
again this season. The locals were
away from home for two consecutive
years as an opening attraction at
philadelphia while the Athletics OPEN

We have an opening game coming to

Us and have US open here.
In that case it Is not likely that we

We have met them during the past
three consecutive seasons. hope that
when the schedule is made out that
We will be allotted a game here with
the Boston team for they would GER
tainly be a great attraction to open

OF course there is nothing definite
in any of the above statements but 1
look for all Of them to turn out to be
true.
Contracts in Mail.
President Griffith is busy sending
sut his contracts and will very soon
be. able to give out a list of players
he Is going to take to the training
lamp. Instead of travelling by train
he Is thinking Of going by water. The
team would depart for Baltimore
where one OF the large boats would
take them to Jacksonville. where the
players would go to Tampa by train.

Slowly the crowd moved out Of the courtroom. Benjamin Grimshaw rose and calmly whispered to his lawyer. He had not spoken to his son or seemed to notice him since the trial had begun, nor did he now. Many had shed tears that day, but not he. MT. Grimshaw never showed but one emo tion-that of anger. He was angry now. His face was hard and stern. He muttered as he walked out of the courtroom, his cane briskly beating the floor.
 The Silent Woman-as ragged as ever-was waiting on the steps. Out went her bony finger as he came down. He turned and struck at her with his cane and shouted in a shrill voice that rang out like trumpet in his frenzy:

He had had ''blOod on his feet" as they used to say, all the way from Lickitysplit to Lewis county in his flight, having attacked and slightly wounded two men with bowie knife who had tried to detain him at Rainy Lake. He had also shot at an officer in the vicinity of LOwville. where hls arrest was ef- fected. He had been identified by all these men, and so his character as a desperate man had been established.

A ray of sunlight Slanting through a window in the late afternoon fell upon his gracious coun- tenance, shining also, with the softer light of his spirit.

 The Silent Woman picked a long blade of grass and tipped it's end in the honey at the bottom of the cup. She came close tn Sally with the blade
