Romance
had been reinforced the night beforo
tho second tu.sale. Two lithe, sinewy
youngster had blown Into camp, as
serting that (hey hud gome small, un
important business with the com
mander. As that official had tempo
rary business at Kan Antonio, the
hoys had been made welcome and glv
e i quarters while awaiting bin return,
rtiiepball, of course, had been ono of
the earliest topics of conversation, and
the newcomers showed Intense eager
ness to break Into the game. As any
one outsldo of army circles was eligi
ble anil tho common citizens were
short-handed, the new arrivals were
prc.nptly drafted Into service. Brock
ett was detailed to guard centertleld,
while Ramon Solano was listed for
third ba:;e. Both youngsters, while
wild to have at least one day of divcit
slon, were modest and diffident when
asked to play, und declared that they
didn't want to crowd any other fel
lows off the team. It was explained,
however, that Sanborn, the estimable
war correspondent of the New York
Whirl, hnd counted himself out with a
charley-horse. while Summers, kodak
man of the Chicago Blizzard, bad been
1 stung by a scorpion not seriously.
but squarely on the right wrist, dis
abling him from further baseball do
ings. That left two vacancies, and
tho appearance of the hoys was a
blessing to the common citizens' ar
ray. Broekett and Solano warmed up
with real delight when tho teams were
summoned to the field. They had
found frienda a Jovial crowd of news
paper men and photographic experts
and the minor officers of the regi
ment had likewise extended them a
warm welcome. The Polo Grounds,
! as the troopers proudly styled the ball
yard, was somewhat humpy in places,
and rather diversified with cactus In
otherB, but everybody concerned bad
seen far worse arenas for the game.
Grandstand there was none, but long
lines of cracker-boxes, beer ases and
brush heaps afforded sitting room,
while hundred:! of the enthusiastic
bugs stood as close to the base lines
as they dared. Mexican ranchers,
Mexican peona, rurales on short fur
loughs, "lungers" who had sought that
region for their health, and soldiers by
the hundred such was the assembly,
aud it Is doubtful if any ball game
ever was played beforo a more up
roarious crowd.
A college man who was directing
things for a moving-picture concern
went In a3 pitcher for tfte common
citizens, and seemed fairly capable.
He stopped the cavalry hitless for
tsvo Innings, pop flies and strikeouts
quickly disposing of the warriors. The
common citizens were equally help
less with the stick. Broekett and So-
lano, the newcomers, x on whom the
common citizens were counting for
material batting help, failed in the
pinch on their first times up. Broek
ett raised a foul fly to the fat ser
geant, wfto was catching, and Solano
grounded to a farrier who was play
ing short.
In the third Inning the troopers be
gan to land on the moving-picture
man and two hits were followed by a
fumble on the part of a contractors'
agent, who was covering second. With
tho bases full, the moving-picture man
put on the steam, struck out the chap
lain of the regiment usually a cork
ing good batter and made the bugler
pop to the first baseman. The next
man up was the 'captain of Company
C, a portly gentleman who had struck
out on his last previous appearance.
He barely grazed the ball and. raised
a tiny fly that hovered over third.
Solano settled with eager hands for
tho catch. Just as the ball landed in
his glove, 'the trooper who wis coach
ing at third bellowed, like a foghorn:
iff ' ' v'ii
"Tho spider! Look out for the tnrajt
tula, boy look out for the spider!"
With a startled yell Solano sprang
nimbly backward. The ball fell wltu
hugging thud and rolled away. Two
i' tin a crossed the platter, and the
whole regiment gave vent to wild a lid
roily howls of glee. Solano, a bright
crluiuon suffusing bis ollvo counte
nance, said never a word, but Broek
ett, far out, rhrlt.ked at the absurdity
of the thing.
After this the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed. The common cltlaoim be
gan to hit the distinguished marks
man who was pitching, and got back
those two runs In the fifth inning.
They accumulated two more In the
sixth, thanks to a noat drive by
Broekett, and Solano got some meas
ure of revenge In the seventh when lie
eauglit a liner und stepped on third
beforo a runner could get back. The
cavalry rallied In the eighth, but could
push In only one mun. They turned
Into tho ninth with tho score 4 to i
In favor of the common citizens, and
the audience rooting like wild men.
The moving picture man fed the
first batsman a high, fast ball, and It
whizzed past first for two bases. A
strikeout disposed of the next man,
while the next drew lour balls. The
chaplain came vp, tried to catch the
Infield napping with a bunt, and was
thrown out at first, leaving men on
third aud second, with two down.
The bugler caught a slow, tantaliz
ing curve squarely on the trade-mark,
and It soared out over center field.
Broekett run back, back und kept on
traveling. At the very edge of a mos
quito clump far behind his position he
gathered in the ball and heard a tre
mendous outburst of applause from
the assemblage. He arched the ball
b-rck Into tho Inlleld, started to walk
back to the bench and then some
thing swished through tho air. and a
loop Bottled round his shoulders. The
lasso was pulled In with rapid hands,
and Broekett vanished behind the
mosquito clump berore ho could even
give a warning cry.
CHAPTER XXV.
It doesn't take long for a crowd of
busky athletes to traverse the dis
tance between the home plate and ceu
terfield. As Broekett disappeared be
hind the mesqiiite, half a .dozen ball
players, with a yell of surprise and
age, dashed across the diamond. It
was less than half a minute before
they reached the point where the las
soed youngster had last been visible,
but all that they found was Broekett
himself, still mixed up with the coils
of a lariat, his shirt half-torn off, the
waistband of his trousers ripped, and
his pockets Inside out. His assailants,
whoever they might have been, had
vanished into the chaparral, and the
crackling of the underbrush gave evi
dence that they were rapidly widen
ing the distance between themselves
and the avenging cavalry.
"What was it?" "Who roped you?"
"Aro you hurt?" the players chorused,
as they picked up the rumpled but
uninjured centerlielder. Broekett,
freed from the tangling rope, shook
himself, made an effort to readjust his
torn clothing, and then sat down on,
the grass, rocking with laughter.
"I'm not hurt." he explained, be
tween spasms of merriment, "but I
think somebody's feelings will be In
jured. Somebody Is going to be badly
stung."
"Your belt is gone!" cried Solano.
"Yes. That's the best part of It."
gurgled Broekett. "Half an hour be
fore the game, not wishing to be too
heavily weighted, I took my money,
my packets of letters everything of
any value or any weight and placed
them in the safe at headquarters. The
captain of Company F fixed it all up
for me. That took two or threo
ponnd3 and a lot of bulk off my waist,
and gave me a chance to work more
JreeTy. Whoever lassoed me, wanted
that belt They jerked me in among
these bushes, flung me on my face,
and went through me in less than live
seconds' time. And they got the belt,
they got the belt, and ran away with
It!" Broekett again collapsed with
laughter.
v "Didn't you see tbero. at .all, my I
boy?" questioned the chaplain. !
"No, Bir," Broekett replied. "They
jerked me in here so fast I had no
chance to turn, and then laid me face
downward, so that I couldn't see them.
They didn't even speak, but robbed
me and were gone before I could even
roll over and look after them. It waa
finely done Just fhe way the wild
west melodramas used to have the
Mexican vllluln lasso the heroic cow
boy." "Didn't they get anything besides
the bell?" asked Solano.
"Yes, they did." And again Brock
ott waH convulsed. "They got a nice
pet of nonsensical messages and
iHked ciphers thnt I put In four hours
constructing on the truln. I hope (hey
get rich with their plunder."
An old trooper, a veteran of the
plains, had pushed a short distance
Into the chaparral while this conver
sation wuii going on.
"There was three of 'em, sir," he
reported to t he captain of Company C.
"Two was Mexicans, ono a cheap fel
low thut didn't amount to much, ami
tho other a vaquero, with new, high
heeled shoes, and u new black vel
veteen jacket. His arm caught on
some thorns, sir, nnd here's a tit of
the goods. The third one was a lit
tle man at least, hl.i feet were very
small and he wore regular city
shoes. That's nil the trail tells, sir.
I suppose they had horses the other
side of this brush, and ure a long
ways from here by now."
. Six troopers rode out, beating the
chaparral, but with little hope of over
taking tho lasso-throwers. The tri
umphant common citizens and the de
feated cavalry returned to camp, ex
changing much persiflage, and map
ping out the preliminaries for the
third tfame of the series. Brocket
and Solano, assigned to a comfortable
tent, started a debate as to the Iden
tity of their latest adversary.
"The fact that he was a small man,
leaving a small truck,'' said Solano,
"seems to Indicate that our Japanese
friend swam out of the -North river.
Doesn't it look that way?"
"It surely does," assented Broekett
"Still, the German baron may have a
few small men as his confederates.
That would be possible, wouldn't It?"
"The baron Is still locked up at
kittle Koek," objected Solnno. "He
would have considerable difficulty In
directing any operations from tho cell
where we last saw him. I can't see
anyone In this but the gentie Jap.
Can you?"
"It appears to be Fome of h!s play
ful doings." said Broekett. "Ho bas
kept himself well under cover, though.
The officers who keep their eyes and
ears open all tell me that no Jap
anese gentlemen have been seen in
this vicinity."
Solano smiled, significantly. 'That
may be but did It ever decur to you
that the average Chliutmau look3 very
I ... J
much like the average Japanese? And
there are quite a few Chinamen along
the liver, so I'm told."
The boys looked out of the tent and
gazed upon the dreary panorama of
brush, rock, sand and turbid river.
Then, smitten with the pangs of ex
cellent appetites and remembering an
invitation to the eating-placo of the
war correspondents, they stepped over
the threshold. A Mexican poorly
clad, miserable of appearance, inter
cepted them.
"I beg pardon, eenores."
"Tell It In Spanish, if you can't In
English," said Solano, amiably. The
Mexican at once started a brief, but
Fox Always
Fable From the Talmud Tells How
He Put the Bear in the
Well.
A fox and a bear were out walking
together one day, when, as they passed
a house, they smelled the dinner cook
ing. The fox suggested to hi3 compan
ion that they should creep into tne
kitchen when no one was there, nnd
steal some of the food. The bear
agreed; but while they were in tho
kitchen the Jook came in and tne
bear was caught and punished. Fr
this he threatened to kill the fox; but
the cunning fox said:
"Pray do not let us quarrel. I will
take you to another place where we
shall certainly obtain plenty ot food."
At night the fox led the bear to a
deep well and pointing to the 'efloc
tion of the moon in the water below,
said:
"There is a fine cheese. We will go
down and get it"
lie then got into on of tfc bckeu

tongue, and wound It up by presi.lng

CAMP
AND
GEN. LYON'S BODY RECOVERED
Graphic Story Related by Dr. Melcher,
Who Brought Corpse Out of the
Confederate Line.
Samuel II. Melcher, who now lives
at 2327 West Jackson boulevard, Chi
cago, obtained tho body of Gen. Lyon
from Gen. Price after the battle ol
Wilson's Creek und carried it into th
Union lines, accompanied by a volun
teer escort of confederate soldiers. In
his capucity of army surgnon Dr. Mel
cher was Immune from capture and
Imprisonment by the enemy and made
his way without trouble to Gen. Price's
headquarters, assisted by a friendly
colonel. He can speak authoritative
ly on the much dincussed subject of
Gen. Lyon's garb at the time of tha
battle and states that the general was
dressed in military uniform. The story
of the recovery of the body la told in
Dr. Melcher's own words as follows:
"When Col. Slgel'a reserve, wnlch
had retreated on the Wire road south,
halted at the Thompson farm some of
the men brought to me Gen. Rains' di
vision surgeon, Smith, who had been
captured while coming with help for
the wounded. I had blm Immediately
released and we started back on the
Wire road In the direction the fighting
had taken place to look for wounded.
Dr. Smith took the lead through the
timber and proceeded In a northwest
erly direction until we reached a large
confederate emergency hospital, close
by a big spring.
"Roceiving information that most of
the wounded of the last part of the
battle were being attended to near the
creek, we set out In that direction and
were soon In the road crossing over
Bloody hill. The position of the dead
on both sides of our path showed bow
terrible the struggle had been. On
each side of the road wero dead sol
diers, the gray on one side and the
blue on the other. After going a short
time we started to count and, as we
did not wish to go back, we estimated
that there were 300 or 400 on both
rides of the path.
"Upon dismounting at the hospital
the first and only person that I recog
nized was the long haired Col. Em
met McDonald, a young lawyer of St.
Louis, cne of the most outspoken se
cessionists. When he was taken at
the capture of Camp Jackson In St.
Louis he absolutely refused to be pa
roled and was accordingly brought to
the arsenal and held a prisoner.
"As I bad occasion several times
each day to pass the tent where Mc
Donald was held, I saw him standing
in front of the entrance dressed in a
sort of French cavalry uniform, with
his arms folded, his eyes glistening,
his awarthy countenance seeming to
threaten vengeance if he should ever
be free again. I had never met him
and had no 111 will, whatever opinion
he might have, and so, as I passed, I
simply touched my cap, and to my
surprise he seemed each time to sof
ten a little and touched his In return.
"So, when I saw him step quickly
toward me as I entered the confed
erate camp after the battle of Wil
son's Creek, and warmly take me by
the hand, I was somewhat surprised.
After talking a moment in regard to
the wounded he informed me that
Gen. Lyon was killed. Instantly I
said: 'Can I have his body?' He at
once said: 'Come with me and I'll
see." He went with me directly to
Gen. Price's headquarters and. as he
had never known my name, he said:
'This is Gen. Lyon's surgeon. He
wishes the body. I want you to give
it to him. He is the only officer who
treated me decently In the arsenal.'
"Gen. Price, who was dressed as an
ordinary citizen, with no insignia of
rank except a black leather belt In
which was a small Colt's revolver,
held out his hand in a fatherly man
ner and we clasped hands. Turning
to Gen. Rains, he asked if he knew
where the body was. Replying In the
affirmative, Gen. Rains was ordered to
bring it for identification. In perhaps
twenty minutes a wagon drove up, and
I was asked to examine the contents.
Upon raising the blanket which coh
ered the face of the dead , man I at
once recognize our genera!.
"Gen. Rains asked: 'What Is your
pleasure?" and I replied that I would
like to have the body carried to the
Ray house.
"As soon as a coffin could be mads
the body was taken to the Phelps
farm. After the body had been on ex
hibition for several days Gen. Price
orderea it buried. This was done Aug.
14 by Col. Snead, who says: "I burled
him by instructions from Gen. Price,
and I said as I put him in the ground,
"That Is the greatest enthusiast I ever
saw and the greatest man." ' Aug. 22
an undertaker from St. Louis and a
party of relatives came and had the
body exhumed and it was taken east."
Picture en the Greenbacks.
One summer during the admlnlstrnj
tloa of Secretary Chase, when the
treasury was more than usually low,
he had occasion to visit some troops
that had not been paid off for a Jong
time. Among the men was one with
whom he was acquainted, but did not
seem to recognize the Secretary,
whereupon he introduced himself.
"Oh, yes! you're Mr. Chase, Secre
tary of the Treasury. It's so long
since we have seen your 'picture' that
I had almost forgotten you."
Dividing the Burden.
Two weary, foot-sore straggler
asked a native how far ahead the regi

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead ot
Drugs.
It takes considerable courage for s
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, instea
of resorting to tbe usual list of medi
cines. There are some truly scientific phy
siclans among the present generatioi
who recognize and treat conditions at
tbey are and should be treated, r
gardless of the value to their pocket,
Here's an Instance:
"Four years ago I was taken wits
severe gastritis and nothing woultf
Stay on my stomach, so that I was on
the verge of starvation.
"I kwd of a doctor who had a sun
mer cottage near me a specialist
from N. Y. and as a last hope, sent
for him.
"After he examined me careful'?
he advised me to try a small quantity
of Grape-Nuts at first, then as mj
stomach became stronger to eat mora
"I kept at it and gradually got so I
could eat and digest three teaspoon
fuls. Then I began to have color la
my face, memory became clear, when
before everything seemed a blank- Mj
limbs got stronger and I could walk
So I steadily recovered.
"Now after a year on Grape-Nuts 1
weigh 153 lbs. My people were sup
prised at the way I grew fleBhy and
strong on this food." Name given bj
