LI L} The Tea That Never = Sealed Packets Only. - Black, Green or Mixed Disappoints er PART III, Six, seven, eight innings passed. No change. The game was on ice. The visiting' cheering section made no bones about it. Came the last half of the ninth inning, Everyone stood up and waited hopefully but without conviction. - Suddenly, "Crack!" and "a man on first. Moderate excitement from the stands. Men on bases was not all at this stage of the game. "Crack!" and a man out at first, ruh- * mer safe at second. Intermission while the pitcher leisurely struck out the next man up: Two down, one man on, "Crack!" again, and a cloud of dust. Both men safe, at first and third. This time there was a goodly roar, tapering off into the chatter of an excited athletic crowd. It was a food finish in any case. Batter up. trike one--general commotion. Man on first safe at second! Perfectly senseless of course, but it is senseless things like that which make college baseball interesting. Buddy edged himself forward. This was momentous, Two men down, men on second and third, one. strike, two runs needed to tie--let alone three to win. Out on the diamond they .were taking their time. Buddy looked back at the bleachers. Had they forgotten? Surely this was the moment to sing. It had worked once, it must work again now that they had paid the penalty for their pride. "Buddy stood up. ; "Sit down!" "Shut up!" "Down in front!" they called to him angrily. --*"Can the hoodoo play ball?" roared the Jockeys. Buddy stooped for a second under] the storm, then resolutely he stood up again. If they had lost faith, well, at least he could try. He only knew part of the song, but he would do his est. He raised his cane and stamp- ed his feet. : "Bang! Bang! Bang!" piped the little voice, "and we'll fire off the fire----" "CRACK!" Buddy never finished. At least no one heard him finish, He saw the Highlanders leap as one man into the air. Out of the corner of his eye he saw tle Jockeys and the Turks d and all the rest of them do the same. Some five hundred hats soared heavenward, Some five hundred voices roared out a Niagara of sound. It was described in the papers as a scene of pandemonium. Even the sun came out to see what had hap- pened. It was quite simple. Inartistic as it may have been, the hero of the hour had not struck out, that's all. Instead, he had cracked out a home- run to the field house, and when Buddy turned around they were carrying him on their shoulders to the bench with the winning run safely stowed away in his system. = Those things will Tege baseball. They came pouring down from the bleachers shouting, "Music! Music!" appen, especially in col- The first to reach Buddy was his big friend. "1 did it, mister!" said Buddy eagerly. "1 sang the song, an' we won, an' there'll be fireworks!" The big fellow grabbed Buddy and hoisted him up on his shoulder. The others all came swarming around them. Even the Jockeys seemed sat- isfied, After all, it was true, the kid had sung the song and they had won. "Listen, boys!" shouted the big Highlander. "Give a cheer for Buddy! He won the game for us. Long cheer for the best mascot a class ever had!" They gave it. They gave several Othei classes went so far as to tempt Buddy with culinary bribes, but he remained firmly established on the shoulders of his friend. In this man- ner they carried him around the field and up the street, through the dust and the crowds, with the sunset at his back. ; And that evening, of course, they had fireworks. Perfectly splendid fireworks, enough to make up for the last two years. The big space of grass was a nightmare of smoke and torches and ing figures. The climax came when the Highlanders with the mai. ~ rity of the twelve bands present ¢av- vied Buddy around from class to class cheered. - And then the last pin- "gizzled off, torches began to go 7 Tutk 8 and Crusader, Jockey "and Clown, Convict an jehlan T, get to work to heen tangle the € ' "The celebration wai and called "Good night!" to him, but he did not answer. "Poor kid," said-one, he must-bej all in! Guess he had the time of his life, though: ~ He never had a day like this before, I bet." y Buddy went down a succession of dark side streets, climbed a eouple of back fences, threw a brick at a pass- ing cat, missed her, and let himself into a messy kitchen through a screen door, "So there you are!" said a woman's quernlous voice, as she stopped her ironing to inspect him. "They keepin' open late at the grocery to-night?" "Guess 80," Buddy replied, sniffing at the stove. © "You guess so?" she caught him up. "Don't you know? Ain't' you come from there?" "N-no," Buddy admitted cautiously. "You ain't?" she exclaimed. "Where have you been, then? I know, traip- sin' around the college, watchin' them crazy boys at their : antics--answer me!" "1 beer there--some," Buddy ad- mitted shifting his feet. "Ain't you got more sense than that?" she scolded. "A boy your age! An' goin' to your job so early too-- you had ought to be in bed long ago. What'd Mr. Elkins say to you, any- thin' ?" "Nope," replied Buddy with con- viction, glad of an opportunity to give at least one entirely truthful answer. "Didn't he say nothin' about your runnin' errands and all bein' satis- factory ?" she insisted. "He said he'd take you on trial to-day, just to see if Jou was any good." , AE He didn't ay nothin', replied Buddy. Oh, shucks! What was the use? There had never been a day like this. What were jobs and run- ning errands, and all the rest of it, compared to the utter glory of this day of days. He looked up at her defiantly, and in so doing he Tooked a little less like an angel than usual. "I ain't been. to the store at all!" he said very firmly. "You what?" she exclaimed. "You to the store? Now don't me--you been fired!" lyin', daid Buddy, "an' 1 fired. I--I been busy all ain't been you lie to "I ain't ain't been she snorted. "Busy what at, I'd like to know?" : "I been a mascot," Buddy explain- ed, and the mere mentioning of i brought a transforming smile to hig ace. "A which?" she asked. ; "A mascot," he explained eagerly. "You walk out in front of the pee- rade, an' sing songs, an' make the fireworks come--gee, it's slick, Ma! 1 forgot to go to the store," he con- cluded lamely. < "Mascot, is it?" she exclaimed, "Forgot to go to the store, did you? An' lost your job--at your age too-- I'll mascot you! Come here to me!" "1 don't care!" he said when it was over. "Those fellers was all older'n me--and they done it too, marchin' and all. I guess Tll have my name in the papers too--an' my picture per- haps, gee!" He paused and sniffed at the stove again. "Can 1 have some supper, Ma?" "Supper!" she stormed at him. "No supper for the likes of you! Go on to bed with you this instant." I'll have to see Mr. Elkins to-morrow an' tr an' explain, Guess I'll have to tell him you got sick or somethin'." "1° wouldn't, Ma," said Buddy proudly. "Hell be seein' my picture in the paper to-morrow, I guess," and he retreated hastily out -of the kit- en. Upstairs in his_dingy little room Buddy flung himself on the bed, over- alls and all. Oh, he was tired, and hungry. But he did not go to sleep right 'away. No, he stood" up very quietly in the dark. From unforeseen recesses of his person he carefully produced a Highlander bonnet and cane. He put ry the bonnet and rals- ed the cane. Very gently he stamped hig feet. "Bang! 'Bang! Buddy.

Some time ago it was announced that an effort would be made by an English company organized for the 'purpose to raise some of the vessels sunk by German' submarines or, where this could not be done, to enter them and obtain money or other trea- sure or property not injured by water. Already these salvage operations resulted in the re- covery of $250,000,000 of treasure from the bottom of the sea round about the British Isles, No ships have been raised, but two vessels bought by the British company from the American navy are engaged in-sal-| vage work and are equipped with a an oxyacetylene flame that can be worked under water and is used for cutting holes in the sides of submerged vessels.
