The young man was speaking as
they passed; his voice was rich, pleas
ant, vibrant with the earnestness OF
what he had to say: with Il pretty
little silver mounted walking stick he
slashed at spears of grass alongside
the path; the girl was crying a little.
Neither of them had seen him, so he
entered path that led from them at
right angles.
He had proceeded but few feet
along this trail when. through break
in the shrubbcry ahead of him, he saw
two men. Brief as was his glimpse OF
| them, Webster instantly recognlzed
the two Central Americans lie had
seen in the steamship ticket office two
| days previous.
They were not walking as walk two
men abroad at this hour for a con-
stitutional. Neither did they walk as
walk men churchward bound. A
slight, skulking air marked their prog
ress, and caused Webster to wonder
idly what they were stalking.
He turned into the path down which
the two men had passed, not with the
slightest idea of shadowing them, but
because his destination lay in that
direction.
Both men had forsaken the graveled
path and were walking on the soft vel
vet Of blue grass lawn that fringed it.!
"Perhaps I'd better deaden my hoof
BEATS also," John Stuart Webster
soliloquized, and followed suit imme-
diately.
lie had scarcely done so when the
men ahead of him paused abruptly.
Webster did likewise, and responding
systematically, perhaps, to the re-
membrance of the menace in the
glance Of the man with the puckered
eye-he stepped out Of sight behind a
; broad oak tree. Through the trees
+ and shrubbery he could still see the
! lovers, who had halted and evidently
were about to part,
Webster saw the young man glance
warily about; then, apparently salts
! fed there was none to spy upon them,
; he drew the girl gently toward him.

The steamship office was in Canal
street. The clerk was waiting on two
well-dressed and palpably low-bred
sons Of the tropics, to whom he had
just displayed a passenger list which
the two were scanning critically.
Their interest in 1T was so obvious
that unconsciously Webster peeped
over their shoulders Ono difficult task
for one of his staturey and discovered
it to be the passenger list Of the
steamer La Estrellfta.. They were con-
versing together in low tones and Web

his life following his profession in
Mexico, recognized their speech as the
bastard Spanish of the peon.
He sat down in the long wall seat
and waited until the pair, having COM
pleted their scrutiny Of the list, turned
to pass out. He glanced at them cas-
ually. One was a tall thin man whose
bloodshot eyes were inclined to pop

Latin-American that he is drinking

Parish House Players Conf
dent they Will Beat Eliza
beth Quintet

The Parish House court in Wood
bridge will be the scene tonight Oh
a basketball contest between the
Elizabeth Y. M. c. A. team and the
Parish House quintet. Followers OF
the Parish House combination are
hopeful that Manager Deter's play
ers will bring their four game los
ing streak to an end by winning to-
nights contest. The game will start
about 8 o'clock.
With the Parish House team in the
game tonight will be Lorch and Bill
Martin, forwards; 1rv. Martin, cen
ter, and -.Schwenzer and Hughes,
guards. Mesick, star guard OF the
Woodbridge team who has been out
of the game on account OF footDali
injuries, is expected to be back IN
the fold next Tuesday.
The Elizabeth team recently de-
feated the Parish House players on
the Elizabeth court, and Manager
Deter believes that his OUTFIT VIII
even matters in the game tonight.
The three great scoring stars of the
woodbridge team, Lorch and the two
Martin brothers. have not been scor-
ing up to their usual standard In
recent games but better results are
expected tonight, and when MesicK
returns next week the Woodprldge
bows will once again get started.
The acquisition of Charley Hughes
a local player, should be a Dig help
TO the Woodbridge team, as Hughes
ia a willing worker and carries the
necessary punch. Buckley will ref
cree the game tonight.

STERL|NGS VS..
M|CHELIN TEAM
First Game of Series on So.
River Court Tomorrow
Night

The first game of a series of five
between the Sterlings of South Riv-
er and the Michelin quintet Of Mill
town, will be played on the South
River High School court tomorrow
night. There is great rivalry be-
tween these two teams and also the
fans of the towns they represent.
The Michelin team has been CO.
iEg good particularly on their own
court, while the Sterling team has
won four out of five home games
played to date this season. Three
of the members of the Sterlings
played with the du Pont Big Five
of Parlin in two games against the
Michelin team, both of which were
won by the Tiretown representa-
tives.
1t Is probable that the following
players will perform with the Ster-
lings team in the game tomorrow
night: Meury. Fitzpatrick, Maluski,
Eppinger and Anderson. while the
Micheiin lineup will be made up
of the following: Dickinson. Sohl,
Janicker, Crabiel and Haeffner.
South River and Michelin basket
ball teams have not met on the
court or diamond for a great many
years, and a big crowd is expected
out to witness this reunion. Last
season the Sayreville Big Five
combination played at Milltown. and
the contest ended in an argument,
which increased the feeling of the
fans OF Sayreville and South Rive,
against the Midtown team.
