TOWN BOYS WALL0P
THE ARTESIA HIGHS

Artesia, n. NJ, Oct. 22.-The
husky town football eleven met the
high school lads for the second
time this season, resulting in 10
to 0 score for the town team. The
school boys were outweighed and
surpassed in every phase of the
game. The town team averages
around 155 pounds and the school
lads average under 14O pounds per
man. Not only did this prove an
asset to the husky gridsters, but
the aerial attack baffled the high
school. Time after time the town
back field would receive long
passes from r. Cole for gains of
twenty or more yards. A pass for
twenty yards netted the second
touchdown of tho game. A long
pass for a 50-yard gain from Cole
to Pyans netted the third touch
down. Tho town team was able to
tCmpts in one quarter.

not in shape for tho contest. which
accounts to a great extent for the
defeat. Captain Yeager and Jack

None of the officials would con-
firm the reported existence of an
eye witness upon whose testimony
the case for the grand jury was
believed to be based. Despite in
formation that two indictments

sent, The other, to Mr.. Stevens,
brother of Mrs. Hall, was said

CHAPTER XVIII.
BettY Leaves Belle Plain.

Hannibal had devoted himself
loyallJ to the judges gloxt6cation,
and Beay heard Ill about the letter,
the snufftng Of the candles and the
reward OF nve thousand dollars. It
vastly increased the child's sense
u importance and satisfaction when
he discovered she had known moth
ing Of these matters until he told
her Of them.
W.T. where would Judge Price
get SO much money, Hannibalr
she asked, greatly astonished.
He won't have to. get 1t, Miss
Betty; Mr.. Mahaffy says he don't
reckon no one will ever tell who
wrote the letter--he lows the man
who done that viii keep pretty

boy explained.
NO. / suppose not" and Betty
saw that perhaps, after all, the
+ Judge had not assumed any very
great financial responsibility.

derstood that the risk OF personal
violence which he ran was genu.

and big. looked up into hers.

He never has no money, Mis-
Betty, but l don't reckon he's wha
body would call PORE"
But you always have enough t
eat, dear? she questioned anxious
ly. Hannibal promptly reassure'
her on this point. You wouldn'
let me think anything that was no
true, Hannibal--you are quite sur
you have never been hungry!
Never. Miss Betty; honest!"
Betty gave q sigh Of relief. Sh
had been reproaching herself 10
her neglect Of the child; she. ha
meant to do SO much for him an
had done nothing! Now it was to
late for her personally to interei
herself in his behalf, yet before sh

sible to trust the Judge she woul

of the question. She thought

came the sinister custom.
A shiver passed through Betty.
She was seeing 1t al again
Charley as he CROPPED among the
graves with the hand of death
heavy upon him.
Y A moment later she was aloha.
The girl had disappeared. There
were only the shifting shadows q
the wind tossed the branches Of the
trees. and the bands Of golden light
that slanted along the empty path.
The fear Of the unknown leaped M
afresh in Betty's soul; in an instant
flying feet had borne her to the
boys side.
"Come- quick, Hannibal!'
she gasped out, and seized his
hand.
What is It, Msiss Betty. What,

more quietly, Don't be frightened

they were to go, she had not con

less of mystery now, but more Z
terror, and her hand stole up t
her heart, and, white and slim
rested against the black fabric &
her dress.
Don't you be scared, Mis-
Betty" said Hannibal.
They went silently from tn
house and again crossed the law
to the terrace. Under the leaf

was already the deep purple {
