They were interrupted by a commotion outside the court- yard. A mCingse rider was brought in dragged from his horse be- fore the captain, “He’s a dispatch carrier from Chuka,” declared Oliver, Doddap explained to the chieftain. The man had brought a letter. The captain took it and handed it to Anne. She saw the missive was a telegraph message for Diana and Rave it to her. “From father,” said Diana, and put ae envelope into a pocket’ un- opened.

Native Sroqeers had. spurred forward. bunching the titers and increasing their arene wei they were going at a headlong pace that, terrified Beth, the poorest rider among the women. With a heavy heart Anne watched Mackey looking back anxiously. Sherwood had been kept behind. They forded the river time and again rather than use the pre- earious bridges. The initial exhil- aration wore off as the hours passed and the pace continued un- abated, a relay race, with the horses changed often. Not until long past noon when the river bed had left the plain and cut up into the hills and canyons where the oing became more difficult was there a chance for any exchange | of words. Dog House NNE had settled down to the dull racking mise: ‘oor Beth,” she said, riding up beside the two girls ahead of her, “how goes it?” Beth managed a feeble grin. “1 feel so bad that I feel all right, What a mess I got into when I majored in palaeontelogy and married Larry Huff.” “What a mess we all got into when we joined this expedition,” exclaimed Diana. 3 Anne wanted to say something angry and cutting. Beth caught her eye and winked. “Save your energy and look at Doddap.” The little man rode not far be- hind nibbling on his cheese in its goatskin wrapping. “That's a magie cheese,” said Beth admiringly. “He's always gnawing on it and it never seems to decrease in size.” Anne smiled. “He must like it better than the lunch Huie fixed for him.” The Nagaras called a halt for rest.

(Special te The Citizen) NEWYORK, Sdpt!)27.—Like Herr Hitler getting ready to put ithe crusher on another neighbor, the Yankees are staging a “war! of nerves” before their tilt with the intrepid Dodgers next week in the World Series. Almost forgotten in the flurry; of the League the Yanks took time out yester- day to show a little fancy pitch- ing in whipping the Washingtons | twice, 4-to-1, and 1-to-0, and to rack up another record for the | world to shoot at. The Dodgers, who were idle, had..plenty of time to see two inasterful exhibitions by Spud Chandler and Marius Russo, and 440 watch the Yankees set an all-| time American League record of #190 double plays—four in yes- terday’s games. 101 Victories They had time to watch the /Yanks push their winning game total over the 100 mark, and to see Joe DiMaggio all but clinch the runs-batted-in championship for the year, pushing home No. 123 to go ahead of Charley Kel- ler, who also works for the Yanks | and may or may not be sw: ing | ing in the series. National race, Phil Rizzuto provided the win-| ning run of the second game in the first inning, lofting one high into the stands to give Russo the one run he needed all day. Browns Win And Lose The St. Louis Browns won a close one from the Cleveland Indians and then turned around! and dropped a decision by the! jsame margin. The Brownies nosed the Tribe by one run in a twin bill opener, 6-5, and lost the nightcap, 2-3... The first + game went eleven innings and jwas finally decided by the gen- \erosity of an Indian relief hurl-| er, Joe Krakauska. After Mc- |Quillan had doubled, Krakauska | | walked the next three men to! \force home the deciding run. The Detroit Tigers nosed the jChicago White Sox, 4-3, to rise |into a tie for American League third-place with the Sox. Al Ben- \ton, who started for the Tigers, and got credit for his 15th vic- tory of the year; was forced to vacate the hill in the ninth when {the Chisox threatened to swing the score in their favor. The | Bengals had built up a fair lead |for Benton but only one run sep- larated the teams going into the |ninth. A three-run third-inning and Rudy York's 27th homer thad provided Benton with coast- ling space.
