before uboui SOd unt linguistic rooters.
Tho Portsuionths havo been ploying in
hard luck, while ou their rcoeut trip,
aud this no doubt was tho couso of tho
small attendance, but the boys havo
como homo to redeem themselves1 and
started tno ball rolling by defeating
tho team from the Magio City.
While tho game was not ob good an
some uro hove seen, thero wore several
brilliant ploys mode by both teams. In
Koanoke a second inning, with tho
bases lull and one man out, Tburston
mo It: a rattling doublo ploy by taking
a hot liner from Paddun's bat aud
touching the ruuuer from seooud, thus
retinue, the side and ending a terrible
suspense. Fuller also performed u
hku trick iu tno uiuth iuning. Hall
man was iu tho box for Portsmouth,
tmd while ho lacked his usual Bpeed,
pitched a very good game, L)uuu
started to pitch for Koauuko and did
very well up to tho fourth, when ho
lost control of the -ball and sout live
men to buses on balls, He?was relieved
by Fisher, who was touohod up pretty
lively.
Tho entire Koanokc team put up uu
ixoellent holding game, hoviug only
ouo iusigniticant orror charged to them.
Ivnox played his usual bnlliaut gume
Becood aud Vetter's catching was
without fault, Whilo our fielders hod
but very littlo to do, they did that littlo
well, i'hurstou and liehuu led in but?

The One Experience nf a Man Who Wanted
tu Upon au Account?
Whin 1 c<? Into a hunk, I get rattled.
l*T!m clerks rattle, mo; the wickets rattle
inej tin; sight ol the nioucy rattles tne; ev?
erything rattles mo.
The momeiil I cross llio threshold of a
bank I am a hesitating jay. It' 1 Attempt
to transact business there, I become an ir?
responsible Idiot.
I know tin-, beforehand, but my salary
had boon raised to $50 a month, und 1 felt
that the bank was tbo ouly place for it.
S ' 1 shambled in ami looked timidly
round at the clerks, 1 bad an Idea that a
person about to open un account must
needs con-ult the manager.
I wonl up to d wicket marked "Account
tint." The accountant was a tall, ctail
dovll. The very sight of him rattled me.
My voice was sepulchral.
"Can I see tho manager:" 1 nod, and
added solemnly, ??alone." I don't know
why 1 said "alone."
"Certainly,", sold the accountant, and
fetched him.
Tho inuuager was a grave, calm man. I
held my $oG clutched in aorumplod ball in
my pocket.
'?Art- you tho manager}''I said. God
knows I didn't doubt it.
"Yes," he said.
"Can I sco you," I asked, ?nlonor" I
didn't want to nay "alone" again, but
without it the thing seemed self evident.
Tho manager looked at mo In some
alarm. He felt that I had an awful secret
io reveal.
''Como in bore," he said and led tbo
way i" a private room, lie turned tbo key
jn the lock.
" Wo uro snfo froin interruption here,"
be said, ".-lit down."
Wo both down mill looked nt one an?
other I found no voice to speak.
"Yoiinroonoof Plnkerton'a men, I pre?
sume, " be said.
llo had gathered from my mysterious
nmanner that I was n detective. 1 knew
what ho was thinking mid It made IU0
worse.
"No. not from Pinkorton's," I said,
seemingly to Imply that 1 como from n
rival agency.
"To tell tho truth," I went on as if I
"had been prompted to lie about It, "I am
not it detective at all. I have come to open
an account, 1 Intend to keep all mymonoy
in this hank."
The manager looked relieved, but still
serious, He concluded now that 1 was a
?.on of Bason Rothschild orn young Gould.
"A large account, l suppose," he said.
"Fairly large," I whispered. "1 propose j
to deposit $00 now and 150 a month regu?
larly." j
Tho manager got Up unit opencoj 1110
door. lie culled to Iho iiccountunt.
"Mr. Montgomery," ho suitl unkindly
loud, "tliis gontloinnn In opening an ac?
count. Ho will deposit ISO. Good morn?
ing."
I rose.
A IjIk ir.iti door stood opon at tho eldo oC
tin- room,
"Good morning," I wild and stopped
Into the aafo.
"Ckiiio out," said the manager coldly
and .' In.wed ma tho other way.
I Went up to Iho uccountaut's wirket
and poked th? ballot money at him with n
quick, convulsive movement as If I were
doing a conjnriu:,' i ri< k.
My face was ghastly pale.
"Here," 1 sind, "iloposlt it." The tone
of the words seemed lo mean, "last us do
this painful tbiug whtlo tho lit is on us."
lie took the money arid gav? it to an?
other clerk, He made mo write the sum
on u slip and sign my name In it hook. 1 !
no longer know what 1 was doing, Tho
bank swam lieforo my eyes.
"Is it deposited?" I asked in a hollow,
vibrating volco.
"It is," said the accountant,
"Then i want to draw a check."
My idea was to draw out SO of It for
present uso. Some onoguvemo a chock
book through a wirket, und Rbniopnoelse
began telling mc how to write it out. Tho
people In the kink bad tho Impression that
I was all invalid millionaire. I wrote
something mi tho cheek and thrust it in at
thu clerk. He looked at i:.
"What, are yon drawing it nil out
again?" ho asked in surprise. Thru I real
Ixetl thai 1 had Wrltton 60 instead of ii. I
was too far gono to reason now, 1 had u
feeling that it was Impossible to explain
the thing. All tho clerks had stopped writ?
ing to look at me. ?
Reckless with inisory, I made a plunge.
" i'e?i, the whole thing."
"You withdraw your money from tho
bunk?"
"Kvery cout ot it."
"Arn you riot going to deposit nny
more?" said the clork, astonished.
"Never."

changed my mind. Ilmado a wrotohed at?

Tho clerk prepared to pay tho money.
"How will vou have it!" he naid.
"What?"
"How will you have It?"
"Oh." I caught Iiis meaning and an
