The barmaid chimed in eagerly: “That's what I say, Mr. Hawkins. What goes on there?

He] h, closing the door y behind him. e found himself cn a path lead- ing through a shrubbery. He fol lowed the path, which twisted a g00d deal. Suddenly without any warning it gave a sharp turn and emerged into an open space close to the house. It was a moonlit night and the space was bright. Bobby had stépped dead and stood swaying -s thongh she wou. : fall. her. Her lips were white and it seemed to him that never had he seen such awful fear on any human countenance. “It's all right,” he said reassur- ingly ina very low voice. “It’s quite all right.” The girl, for she was little more, moaned faintly, her eyelids half closed, “I'm so frightened,” she mur- mured, “I’m so terribly frightened.” “What's the matter?” asked Bobby. The girl only shook her head and repeated faintly. “I’m so frightened. I'm 80 horribly frightened.” Suddenly some sound seemed to Bobby rushed forward and caught ! “Vip so terribly frightened.” céme.to her ears. She sprang up- tight,-away from Bobby.

Someone was coming along the path from the tittle door. Bobby plunged abruptly into the bushes at the side of the path. A man passed close to Bobby, but it was too dark for the young man to see his face. When .e ha¢ passed Bobby re sumed his retreat. He felt that he could do nothing more that night.

The game was a heady pitch- er’s battle between Salinero of the Monroes and Elpidio and Se- villa for the Stars. Elpidio being removed early when his arm be- came sore. Salinero displayed a deceiving change of pace with which he mixed some classy curve- balling. The veteran Sevilla. now well over forty years, was de- ceptive with his continual nicking | of the corners of the plate and a nifty underhand inside ball with a curve on it. At times, Sevilla lost the fine control of his curves and it was an out-curve breaking over the center of the plate which Danny Lopez, Monroe hot-corner guar- dian, slammed to the spaces between the desperate left and center flieders. Wickers’ double to left field seored the Monroes* first run. The Stars’ run, tying the score, was marked up in the following inning on an error. Statistic: STARS A Molina, rf .... !P. Castro, ss ..
