About this time some Indian chiefs FROM

His daughter, aged 10, was greatly delighted
with these guests. During the evening, one
Of them placed his feathered war bonnet on
her head. An artist who was among the
guests, quickly sketched the little girls picture
and handed it to her father. He was pleased
and decided to enter it in the contest for the
coin design. It won the competition and the
face Of this little Indian" has gone into
more hands than any other American esin.

INSTALLMENT III.

--HE two boys began to discuss base
ball they watched the movers un-
load the furniture but Bill soon dis
covered that he was at q great
disadvantage on this subject. How
could he compete with q boy who
knew almost all the great players personally
who had been mascot Of his fathers team for
one year, and who actually possessed base balls
autographed by Babe Ruth and other famous
characters Of the diamond?
Therefore Bill was Just as glad when the
discussion was interrupted. The interruption
came in the form Of q glad shout from Fred
when the moving men uploaded a huge box
from the van and carried 4 into the house.
That's the box with all my stuff in it," cried
Fred Come on in the house and we'll unpack
It,"
He led Bill into the 6isordered interior of
the dwelling where boxes and crates and furni-
tuTe were piled about everywhere, and together
they unpacked the big box containing Fred's
treasures. And then it was that Bill was almost
overcome with envy. In rapid succession Fred
unearthed couple of complete base ball uni
forms marked with the insignia of his fathers
team, whole bag full of base balls (many Of
them autographed), enough gloves and mittS
to supply a whole team, bats catcher's mask,
and everything else that a player could use.
RUT that was only a beginning. Fred had
tennis racquets and golf clubs and ice skates
and beautiful fishing rod. He had more
camping equipment than Bill had ever seen
before. In fact, the contents Of that box
would almost have set q sporting goods store
up In business.
For the love Of Mike!" gasped Bill as all
these wonders were unfolded. where in the
world did you get all this stuff?"
"Oh, all the sporting goods dealers and COM
panies gave 1t to me-or to dad Fred ex-
planned They are always giving him some
thing The latest thing is a canoe. It's
the way here now There's a river here we can
go canoeing on, isn't there?"
You bet," said Bill. Right down over the
hill is where We go swimming, and there's a
dock there you can use.'
Freds next question was whether they played
much base ball in Northridge. When Bill re-
piled that the gang probably playing right
now down on the old field, Fred picked up a
couple Of bats and half dozen gloves and
insisted that they get into the game A moment
later they were hurrying away from the house.
When they reached the old ball field or 10
fellows had chosen up sides and were engaged
in a hot battle, punctuated by much hitting
and an equal amount of arguing. The sight
Of Bill was greeted by great shouts and an
immediate dispute enSued as to which side was
to get this star player.
p ILL called q halt in the game long enough
y to tell the other boys who Fred was and to
say that they were impressed is to put it too
mildly. They gathered around him in awed
silence, while some Of the holder boys asked

him questions about his father and his team
They looked at his gloves and bats with cries
of admiration. but finally Fred tired of all this
and insisted that the game proceed. The boys
who had won the argument and were TO have
Bills services In the game were not 50 pleased
now, for Fred naturally was taken by the other
team.
Bill had a feeling that something like a crisis
was approaching, and this feeling became
stronger than ever as he stepped into the
pitchers box and found that Fred would be
the second batter to face him. Bill was the
best pitcher OF all the boys who played on the
old ball field, and he had something that he
called an "outdrop" Of which he was very proud.
1t was working well today and the FIRST
batter on the other team struck out after
three wild swings. Then Fred Towne nom
chalantly picked up q bat and stepped up to
the plate.
Paste 1t a mile Fred!" encouraged the other
boys on his side. Fred took q position that
was an exact imitation Of that used by one Of
the greatest sluggers IN the big leagues and
waved his bat ominously at Bill.

DILL put everything he had into that first
- pitch. Fred stepped into 1t with a vicious
swing, there was q sharp crack and the ball
sailed out past the diamond and into the deep
weeds IN the outfeld. While his teammates
shrieked with JOY Fred trotted around the bases.
1t was an easy home run.
Bill gritted his teeth and tried to pretend
that he did not mind. But his modification
was deepened few minutes later when he
came up TO bat himself, to face the pitching Of
Fred Towne. Fred used the wind-up and
delivery Of another famous player, and either
was too much for Bill. The best he could do
was tap an easy ground ball right back at Fred,
who tossed him out at first
AS the game went on Bill knew that he was
no longer king Of the Northridge ball diamond
This new boy could do everything as well as
he could and some things better. And the
other boys, quick TO sense this superiority
transferred their admiration and allegiance at
once. By the time the afternoon was over
Fred Towne was distinctly the head man."
T HE game finally broke up in a rush as the
players decided that it was too hot for more
base ball and made a dash for the swimming
hole. The hole was in a secluded spot just
outside OF town, where the river made bend
and where trees and bushes shaded it and con-
cealed 1t from view. There was a mad scram-

race across the pool and back the former dis

Our country, as going concern is certainly found
wanting III these days in many respects The most painful
and vital exhibition of it is in the economic situation A
powerful article in the October 18th number of the Chris
tan Century shows the appalling conditions which we now
face.
Never in the history of the country have conditions
been SO alarming and unaccountable We are facing
winter with 9,5lOOOO workers unemployed and approx

and they want money and they food and these things
must be found for them.
Our country is found wanting in its finances 1t is i'm
possible to estimate what vast losses have been sustained in
the great field of national investments Many billions of
dollars have been rrecoveraby lost by mtudes of small

Variety of Ways of Serving Up Great American

Breakfast on Easter Sunday morn ing may be made gay and informal meal, especially if there are chill dren who will be greatly pleased with decorations of downy chicks and bright colored Easter eggs.
