G.. D. White was elected presl-
dent, but promised to serve only
until the league is fully organized
and ready to play ball. After that
he said he would resign IN favor
of someone else.
Bill Bangs and n. B. Gibbs
were named as directors to assist
the president in running the al
fairs of the league. Mr.. White
then took charge of the meeting
and several questions were settled
or discussed.
II was decided to set up the
league with the six teams repre-
sented and that should any other
team wish to obtain a berth II
must make application Tor en-
france before or at the next meet
mo which was set for Saturday
might, April 18. .u

letting the larger coins lie open in

The right fingers perform a rub

completely from view. The magi-

puts the remaining coins in his

The magician does not pick uD
the small coin from the left hand.
He only pretendS to do so. Actu-
ally. he slides a larger coin over
the small one. People, seeing the
little coin gone, think the right
hand has it, but the small coin
went into the pocket with the 9th

right fingers was only an Illusion

he had not been allowed to shoot
LightfOot. But at the same time
he chuckled. because he thought
himself very smart. LightfOOt
couldn't possibly reach the shelter
of the woods without giving him
shot, and he hadn't the least

felt able to travel. SO he made

hunter. "He won't stay on that

nearest woods. I'll go up there
and wait for him. I'll get that deer
if only to spite that fellow back
there who drove me off. Had it
not been for him I'd have that
deer right now. He was too tired
to have gone far. He's got the
handsomest pair of antlers I've
seen for years. 1 can sell that head
for a good price"
SO the hunter tied his boat to a

climbed up the bank and studied

he walked back toward the shed
where poor Lightfoot was resting.
He did not go too near Light
foot, paying no attention to him,
but going about his work. You see,
this man loved and understood the
little people of the Green Forest
and the Green Meadows, and he
knew that there was no surer way
of winning LightfoOt's confidence
and trust than to take no notice of
him. Lightfoot, watching him, un-

was a friend and would do him no
harm. Little by little, the wonder
