Fiint’s eyes shone with a boyish enthusiasm. He seated him- self cross-legged on the deck, and the two men talked guns and Ivy was forgotten. Bowers had five rifles and three shotguns. He lained that the double-barreled elephant-rifle had been purchased to help a friend out of a financial hole. It had cost a fear ful sum even secondhand, but Bow- ers had never fired it. He had never killed an elephant five nights in a row | “M4 he was never going to, and tur. thermore if it should happen that his life depended on killing an ele- Sete Dhant, that particular rifle was ob iting atu 1 af solete, It was too much like a eannon.; An ordinary army rifle was plenty heavy enough. ‘T DIDN'T matter so much how an elephant, as where wers did most of his a eld t 1 killing with 4 doubleexptess of foot me teen nee te: | about .30 caliber.

Nice Would not suffer, barratry once committed and collected, Flint would be of independent means. He balance, hasn’t it?” It was at this moment that Wong Bo, drawn by the gleam of metal, joined the group. He fanned himself and retaarked that the rifle was “Heap nice.” “What does a gun like this chap cost?” Flint asked. “1 think,” said Bowers, “that it , |eost just one hundred and twenty guineas.” “How much you say?” asked Wong Bo. “About six-hundred dollars gold,” said Bowers. Wong Bo’s eyes swept the heap of gun-cases, “Other guns all same?” he asked. “Well,” said Bowers, “they don’t give guns away, or if they do, I never heard of it.” It is possible that it Bowers had not exposed his weapons and made their value known, the course of events would have been different, but eight guns worth perhaps an average of five hundred dollars apiece represented a handsome sum of money. [It is possible that up to that mo- ment, so far as Wong Bo’s plans were concerned, Bowers’ life was reasonably safe, But the value of the guns had altered the Chinaman’s p'ans and he returned presently to ask @ question and to go on his way again. “How often you make clean?” he asked. “Oh,” Bowers said, “I'll look them over again in ten days or two weeks, ybe not until we get to Singapore, ‘hey are In perfect shape.” To Wong Bo this was an exceed- ngly satisfying statement, and that jsame night, with the help of the abin boy and a pass-key, he stole the guns from their cases, wrapped | he parts in greasy cloths and stowed them tm his own quarters. Bowers had said that he would not examine his weapons for an- vther ten days, but it was possible | hat for some reason or other he might have occasion to move the cases, and the lightness of the cases would reveal the fact that he had veen robbed. Wong Bo did not want the trouble that shows its face in the open. He and the cabin boy carried the cases to the Boldero’s disorderly ma chine shop and weighted them with | | whieh makes them weapons.

Louis Cardinals came forth with renewed energy, coupled: with great determination, and took both ends of a twin bill yes- terday with the Boston Braves, 4-1 and 1-0, eontinuing their pen- nant drive ag a result of the com-} plete victory. The two trfuphaj put the Cards a half game ¢loser} to the Giants, leaving them 3 1-2 games behind the league leaders. Excellent pitching of Carleton and | Walker carriéd the St. Louis club to victory. Homers, by Jimmy Foxx and Frank Higgins, gave the Philadel- phia Athletics a 6 to 5 victory over the White Sox, and a clear} sweep of the five-game series. ‘The Indians won the deciding pane’ of their series with Wash. | ifgton, 6 to 1, Mel Harder held the Senators to seven hits while the Indians obtained eleven.

Continuing their September| push, the Dodgers defeated Pitts- burgh, 2 to 1, behind the five-hit pitching of Leslie Munns, It was their sixth straight victory, giv- ing them a clean sweep of four games with the Pirates. | In a six-run rally in the eighth, the Phillies came from behind to ‘down the Chicago Cubs 9 to 7. Gabby Hartnett hit a homer fot) the Cubs. | After three tight, well-played} games, the Tigers and the Yan- kees let down and engaged in aj session of heavy hitting and loose | fielding which ended with New York the winner, 11 to 7. This gave the Yankees an even break in the series and reduced the Ti- gers’ lead to 5 1-2 games. | The summaries: AMERICAN LEAGUE At Detroit ROH E.} New York z Detroit Batteries: Broaca and Jorgens; Marberry, Hamlin, Hogsett, Sor- rell and Hayworth.
