Wilton gave Chambers bed in his
shack. The next morning they started
out TO sound the muskeg. A little

where the river dwindled to mere
trickle between two lakes in summer,

with rotten slush; it was one Of the

Wilton's first act on reaching the

peared disheveled, humble, and repent

Wilton struck his fist on his desk.

you back to the cache" hn answered.

Subject Is Not Really Conscious
of Being Tired.

Experiments carried out to test the
mental effects of loss of sleep have re-
vealed the remarkable fact that there
are two distinct phases of fatigue.
The first is one of stimulus, under
which work is done rather better than
under normal conditions. Then fol-
lows a phase of much longer duration
in which the body makes good its
losses-a period characterized by gen.
eral loss of accuracy, power of con-
centration and retentiveness. There
is. however, no sense Of fatigue during
this phase-quite the reverse.
What is called carelessness is often
due TO this second stage of fatigue.
When man knows he is fatigued, he
naturally takes excessive precautions,
but when the second stage comes
along, he does not feel tired, and con-
,sequently carelessness steps in.

When the baseball teams of the Ash land A. A. and the Taftvilie A. A. meet on the Providence street grounds, Taft vile, Saturday afternoon, the baseball fans will see two of the most bitter ri- vals in sports and they can rest assured that there will be fireworks galore. The teams are playing the second round in the Eastern Connecticut league and the Jewett City team is in second place, a half game behind willimantic and a half game ahead of Taftville.
 The first meeting of these two teams resulted in a victory for the Ashland A. A. when they staged ninth inning rally scoring three runs and winning out to 2. It seems that Manager Chase of the Ashland team will not trust Spike" Liberte on the mound against Taftville as he is out scouting for another hurler and it is rumored that he has secured a few men to bol- ster up his combination. Manager Frohmander of the Taftville A. A. has secured the services of dark horse to hurl against the Ashland boys and will hold Morin for Sundays battle in Dan ielson

 There seems to be difficulty in get ting the lineup of the office team, as they are not letting out word. but scout of the American Woolen Mill team has been pretty busy and up to We'd nesday noon was able to find out quite a few of the players. the names including Jack Clabby, the demon right fielder of the Kaceys Tom Mulvahey formerly with the Colonials; Bottles O'Brien, who played with the Portland Eastern league team Sam Dean who/ made quite a record with the old time Scalp CTS: Emil Peckham. also a local whiri- wind of the famous MoheEan Reds ; Jensen. who is a regular Johnny Evers around second base Frank Grieve, who is considered the best fly catcher outside Of Tanglefoot. will play center {; OLeary will cover first base and by the looks of his dogs he is capable of such a job Josh Foback will be on the mound for the office as well as two dark horses, which were hired from Pierson for the office outfelders. but even with this lineup of stars the Wool en mill team believe they will hang the scalp of the office force in their wigwam Thursday night.
 The lineup of the American Woolen Mil team is as follows: Kip Scovol c,
