they talked the whole night through.

knew not OF his sons wanderingk,
while her pater, custodian Of q
church, and thereby known as a
sexton, did mingle with Morpheus
50 well that he heard not her puffy
footing when she crept In as the
prisoners Of the Indians were being
shot at sunrise.
Their rendezvous remained :
secret with them. Not even to
Sarah, the StenOg, did she breathe
q word.
And he, noble youth, beat his
breast with cIinched fist, and told
not q single John that he loved,
and was loved.
One day Of the two having passed,
the need arises for bringing the low
ers together again. Such being the
case, they met again that night, and
over again pIighted their troth.
Since parental objection had been
interposed between the man and his
woman, they agreed that they should
run away the next day, which In
sures their meeting for the third
night.
The signal was to Be given by
our hero when the family mare

But that night he was stricken
with murnps. ''I cannot meow like
q cat. shall be foiled. All is lost, !"
he said.
Then he sent q telegram to Pris-
ella asking her to be ready when
she saw q fire. which he wouldst

Rapidly the blaze swept up d tree.

That's also true OF Adolpho Luque,
Of the Cincinnati Reds, but LuQue
has been u complete bust this year.
ana Uhle hasn't been having much
4 success LuQue just simply h6sn't
been able to pitch as he did last
year, but with Uhle it's altogether
different.
Early in the season he sprains
an ankle. Al slow start Is d ter
rible handicap to any pitcher. Well,
IN the last six weeks he has
pitched about three or four games.
No pitcher can be at his best with
such little work, and especially 3
pitcher like UhIe. And how this
has hurt the Indians yOu can see
by looking over the standing Of
the clubs.
But that isn't all. Jim-Joe Ed
wards, who showed q lot OF class
last season and got or to a great
start this year, gets water on the
knee soon after the pennant fight
started, and for more than two
months he has been out of tile
game. And it looks, from what the
Cleveland players told me the other
day, that he won't do very much
pitching this year.

ting slump the Indians have, been
having plenty OF troubles IL But
that's not all, either. Stanley Cow
6leslie has also been off form, and
you know just how he stands when
he Is going wen.
Uhle, Edwards, CoveIeshie three
good pitchers, and that's almost
enough to win pennant for any
team. And that's exactly why the
Indians aren't up there battling tho
Yankees for first place and throw
ing d scare into Mr.. Ty Cobb's
Tigers.
There's no doubt of il now.
