In progress at Doyle's Room by 90 to 33.
The game was a sort Of hit or miss az
fair. as both players were far from be-
ing in good form. Paley was particular
ly unluclSy with the white ball, as II
dropped IN a pocket three times during
the frame. which gave Crane twenty-one
points. One of these lapses occurred
during the few last Innings. when Paley
had still chance to win. He made a
very good cut shot for the side. after
which the white ball slowly rolled into
the top corner.

to go through to the finish.

He took a recess Of three minutes,
while Dolores dabbed her eyes and
went through sundry other motions Of
being brave. Then he proceeded with
his RefariOus recital.

Billy lOked around. as If fearful Of
being overheard. He lowered his
voice. "We're going to have one grand
little first-class revolution" he re-
piled. "It's due to bust almost any
night now. and when 1t does, the
streets of San Buenaventura will run
red with blood"
Dolores blanched. "Oh, dearle me-"
she quavered. ''Do they still have
revolutions here? You know, Mr.
Geafy. my poor rather was killed IN

"Yes. and the same old political
gang that shot him is still on deck"
Billy warned her. "It would be high
