big league teams are having no easy

The Braves seem to be especially

Warriors appeared on the score
sheet and there We're 4 good many

The Yankees took the st. Peters,

chance today to even the series.
The SoX had somewhat easier
time but only managed to win out
in the tenth inning against the low
ly New Orleans Pelicans. The final
score was to 5, the major leaguers
putting over four much needed runs
in the final session. Wiltse and
Lundgrcn were erratic in the box
but Tony Weller finished strong.

There was a choking sensation in

looked out through the window at a
quiet street lined with brownstone
fronts. He laughed sadly.

She smiled as he broke off. Perhaps
some day" she murmured, 'the cloud
will roll away"
His fingers frightened convulsively
about her hand: then he opened the
door, and called to the chauffeur. The
cab swerved up to the curb and
stopped.
"Good-by, Helen"
Her lips trembled and for moment
he could not speak.
"Au revoir-Gray Phantom
He drew long, deep breath as the
cab glided away. He watched it till
it was out of sight. There was smile
on his lips and his eyes held tender
light.

the thought. but smiled whimsicallY.

at last.

and held it while each man looked the

led Helen from the room. In a little

her face frightened as the morning

He gulped down the contents OF the
glass, swayed for an instant and re-
garded the others with an odd express
sion. Then, before either of them
could interfere, he picked up the pistol
he had dropped upon the Phantom s
entrance.
A crack sounded. Helen uttered a
sharp cry, and Culligore limped toward
the reporters chair just as Granger

doc had given strict orders that you
were to be taken alive and were not

Granger violated those orders when
he tried to smother you to death in

disappeared, and that made it look
all the worse for him. The doc
didn't know that you had kidnapped
him. All he knew was that Granger
had vamoosed, and he thought he was
doing the gang dirt and pulling some
kind of treacherous stuff.

BRITISH EATING CHICKEN.
Abandoning Mutton as Poultry
Farms Increase Rapidly.

LONDON. April . GA0.-John Bull is
andoning boiled mutton with onion
sauc0 in favor of boiled chicken and
boiled pork.
The old fellow still insists on having
his ms t boiled, also his vegetables.
B t mutton is going out of fashion.
There were 10000, 900 sheep in Eng.
land and Wales in 1908, but there are
now les than $4,000, 900. Poultry
farms are springing up everywhere.
Pr farms are also increasing and
mucl. more pork is being eaten. The
acreage of cultivated land is steadily
decreasing, but official reports show
the land occupied by dairy farmers is
steadily on the increase and milk pro-
duction is growing.
The number of persons engaged in
agriculture and horticulture in Eng
land and Wales is 1,100. 900 and has
been practically the same for many
years in spite of the prevalent opinion
that it is declining.
Little Lincoln England, will build
a town hall costing 81 200 900.
