By Joe Williamson Fourth Prize RTIIUR was not angry at the captain, but still he couldn’t see why he had been taken out of the box in that Petaluma game, right at the time when he had been do¬ ing his best pitching. In the game preceding this one, no one could deny that he had pitched rings around anything that Crawford had ever done. And yet—well, Art couldn’t understand it, but, to the astonishment of the whole school Crawford had been put in to pitch this game. Three days had passed since the Petaluma game and the great game of the season was but three days off. Between Santa Rosa High and Analv there had always been the great¬ est of enmity. For the past three years there had been a great deal of excitement surrounding these games, and this year the two teams were very evenly divided. After considering the matter deeply and consulting a few of his nearest friends, Art decided that surely the blame must lie at the door of Sam Crawford. He could tell by the look in Sam’s eye, when they passed, that he had been up to one of his tricks again. But surely, Art thought, the coach and Crawford ought to “be wise to” his lies by this time, and pay no attention to them. If this should be the case—if he had been put on the bench on account of another of Sam’s lies—Art resolved that he wouldn’t show his feelings, but, from then on, in practice, he would play with a renewed vim, and make Carter put him back on the team whether or no. This was certainly a wise step for Art, for if he had acted “sore” at the captain after what Crawford had told him, things would certainly have been bad for him. It was the night before the Santa Rosa game and Carter was still undecided about his pitchers. That night Harry De Bar, Arthur’s room mate, came back to school after a couple of weeks vacation, due to illness. He had left school the night before the Petaluma game, and had not yet heard about Art’s trouble.

son of the falling parachute the men of the black ship destroy¬ ed the “Monsit,” so that she fell to earth and then went in quest of Jim. Jim had made the best of his time and was far from the place he had landed, after having noted the location carefully. The men of the ship saw Jim and landed near by. They tried to get Jim to tell where the gold was but they were unsuccessful. They then threatened to shoot him if he would not disclose the hiding place to them. Jim refused and they were about to carry out their threat when they heard a noise in the air. It proved to he the motor of another aeroplane. Help had come at last for the men of the “Mon¬ sit” in answer to the call Jim had sent out. When they saw the ship nearing them the men of the black aeroplane tried to get away by going in the opposite direc¬ tion, but they flew directly into another aeroplane which had made a round-about tour. The men were taken prisoners aboard one of the aeroplanes. Four of the men of the “Monsit” had been killed during the fight and the rest were injured more or less. Jim found Frank unconscious near where the remains of the “ Monsit ” had fallen. Frank soon came to and together with the hag of gold, which Jim had recovered, they went to Wilmot on the aeroships that had rescued them.

“Well, old man, you’ll not see me in the box tomorrow, I suppose. It looks as if I ’ve got my walking papers for sure. Carter put Crawford in the box for that Petaluma game and hasn’t said anything to me about tomorrow’s yet, so T guess he don’t want me.” This was about the first news that Harry heard after his return. “Well, that son-of-a-gun!” Harry threw his cap down on the floor, as was his custom when a little angry. “You know I left here the day before that Petaluma game. Well, down in the “gym,” just before I left, I heard Crawford talking to Carter; I coluidn’t catch it all, but I heard something about throwing the game because he used to live there. It never dawned upon me that they might have meant you. You did go to Santa Rosa last year didn’t you?” “Why yes! But what difference does that make? Does he think I’d go back on old Analy? Does he think I’d ever for¬ get the old blue and white?” Arthur’s face grew red and he dug his finger nails into the table on which he was sit¬ ting, and stared blankly into the darkness. “I don’t see why he should, old boy, but it certainly looks that way. You see if Carter thought that you were going to throw the Santa Rosa game, that’s why he kept you out of that one with Petaluma.” About half an hour before the game Carter came around to Arthur and said, “I giuess I’ll let Sam pitch today and save your arm for that San Rafael game next week.” If Arthur’s eyes flashed at this, it was not his fault, for he tried to control himself. But this was the limit! San Rafael, Bah! This Santa Rosa game was by far more im¬ portant, and yet he was to save his arm for the San Ra¬ fael game! The umpire stepped into the box and called the game. Crawford was the second man up. “I would like to see him fan if it wasn’t for old Analv’s sake,” Arthur thought as the pitcher took his wind up. But he didn’t fan, possibly be¬ cause he didn’t have a chance, for the first ball pitched over the plate was a wild one, and almost a fatal one for poor Sam. He ducked just as the ball dropped, and was hit a terrific blow on the temple. Time was called to give the doctor a chance to examine Crawford. He pronounced it a pretty hard blow, and the captain knew that if he should pint Sam in the box now it ( 22 )
