Senators who are so far in front
and playing such splendid ball in
the Jerry Midget League that most
Of their rivals, in a small way,
resemble the Griffmen as compared
with the New York Yankees.
Kid CaIvin's team has won
seven games and dropped one.
This is q record Of which the
Senators naturally are proud,
but what tlcIIles their vanity
most. It seems, Is their fielding
record. Manager Griffith today

made only five errors in eight
games.

- close to a record for midget
teams"
In which contention he very likely
will find lots Of support. and also
considerable praise for his hench'
men. Ability to field like that is
scarce on the sandlots, whether in
the midget ranks or among the
grownups.
Young Calvin is a vital force in
the attack OF his club. AT IasI
ACCOUNTS he had made seven hits In
twelve times at bat.
Last year the Senators won the
championship of the Derry Insect
League, which Is a grade below

A horrible premonition Of Ill
dropped heavily as O. stone into
DIR. Cressy's mind. The very next

was calling on the sidewalk Just
outside the open revolving door
Of the lobby:

He went. much to DR.. Cressy's
relief.
Hazel Appears
The next instant Hazel appeared
in the lobby. She went swiftly
up to DIR. Cressy.
"Some men have been ringing
up wildly in the last fifteen min
utes and asking for Kathleen.
When I told them she was out
and l didn't know exactly when
she'd be back, they asked where

prevented her mercifully for the
moment taking In the full import
of what was happening. Like the
beat q gong in DIR. Cressy's
brain rang out:
"Kelly's son got to the police!
A man in the lobby beckoned
to the newsboy through the glass.
He came in and the few people
who happened to be in the lobby
crowded around buying papers.
An elevator came down. Loren
Echard stepped out. He saw the
newsboy, just about to leave after
his sales, called to him and bought
an afternoon paper.
DR.. Cressy, watching him, saw
a queer sight!s The mans face
seemed to crumble. He seemed
blasted with horror as he read
those headlines as the earth might
be blasted by some terrible up

She kept whispering something:
why did I do it? o. why
did do it?''
The words were like an echo
in DIR. Cressy's mind.
But 1t was Hazel who, almost
still child as she was. had fore
sight enough to order the men
picking up the limp body Of her
brother-in-law:
Take him up to my room.
Don't let his wife know /.
I think this would about kill her.
1t was after Loren Echard was
resting quietly in Hazel's dark
ened room that DR.. Cressy again
came down to the lobby. It
seemed to him he would suffocate
shut up in a room, yet neither
did he want to leave the hotel.
Reporters were beseiging the
desk. but he gave strict orders,

Hazel, nor Mr.. nor Mrs. Echard
were to be seen. His mind was
for the moment stunned by the
extent Of the catastrophe. He had
a vague feeling that he was
rather glad than otherwise that

ter went frantically to every one
in the State begging them to save
her brother. How, up to the last
moment. the girl had been unable
to believe the brutal thing could
be done--a moose frightened about
her brothers throat.
SILENT PRAYER
Yet it happened. It happened
one Friday morning at 10 o'clock.
And all the girl and that boys
mother could do was to steal into
a church and pray while grown
men took young boy out and
killed him. Just as q butcher
does a COW, only more revoltingly.
For the butcher does 1t quickly
and without pretense.
But these men escorted their
victim tremendously. They had
an audience. They led him slowly
13 steps. Then they pulled a
black cap over his face.
Judith remembered stiflingly the
appalling details. Far off her

Yet 1t went under her lids and
the eyes burned on hers-dark.

DR.. Steritt disappeared, only to
return a few minutes later more
agitated than ever. AS he passed
DIR. Cressy, still pacing up and
down. he said in tragic tones:
"She's NOT THERE!"
DIR. Cressy heard him, as he
passed the desk, at one of the
house phones, again calling for
Mr.. Leverne Lecay, room $40.
But evidently from his face, no
Mr.. Leverne Lecay answered. He
joined DR.. Greasy and began to

telling him his troubles.

DR.. Cressy wished heartily that
he would keep still. He had far
more important things to think

who would probably be found
much sooner than Kathleen.

WHERE could she be?
She couldn't have left the hotel
without clothes. Was she, them

by any probability borrowed clothes
from some woman guest whom she
knew and gone away? A hundred
conjectures shot through his few

must have been some way OF find

No clue suggested itself. Indeed,
the accusation of murder had been
