Famous Smithpaw Lets Boise Down Willi Scattering .Hits Again. (L'olse Statesman.) Cbielly through the efforts of one Kelly, parading In the box score un der the misnomer of second baseman, Boise lost the last game of the series to Barry's bunch, 4 to 1. Kelly wal lowed around at second like a derelict In a storm. He had more boots than a regiment of cavalry, and his errors of omission were much worse rhan those he committed. If he had been trying to throw the game he coiild not have done worse. Except for the odd exhibition given by Kelly, the game was. the best of the series. Mays and Mclvor pitched grand hall. The La Grande routhpaw allowed but five hits, and three of the even swats credited to the visitors are scratches, two of them due to Kelly's miserable fielding. Again pausing to except Kelly, the fielding throughout the contest was superb. The game was fast and snap py and until the seventh Inning the core was close enough to make the excitement Intense. The gong did not ring at all until the .sixth, and there was not a base bit until the third. .The score: , . BOISE.

The days of army post on' the west ern frontier, a garrison mImiI up by It self with no outsider to see or talk wltb or even hear about, are over. Then, too. In those days-tbey are not so fur distant- umiKloimlly Indian must be drtveu buck ou to their reser-. vutluus. uud sometimes they would b too strouy for the little gurrtsou. aud days and nights of agony would pass In expectation of melr making a break In tile walls uild iimrderln even mie Inside the lndosure,. Including women and children Vet there was a pleasant side to tbe life. The garrison shut off from the world constituted a family consisting ?f two divisions, the one being com I j used of tbe ottlcere and tbelr families the otber of the men and their families Hetweenjjfflcyrs nncjiiicn was n. dlvid fug line as to nssoclutlon on familiar terms, but there was a union of beart The enlisted men understood that tbl line bad from time Immemorial been Considered uecessory to tbe discipline and efflcleucy of an army. Years ago there was one of tbes army posts lu what Is now a sovereign state in the American Union. One duj wben a supply truln arrived it brought something to stir tbe tiresome life o! the officers' division a young lady. She came to visit Mrs."? Mo Jor j Bert rand, wife cj th ctmjmnndautL whose nlec he was. Her i-omuiglind been talkel about, btH ber appearnuce was dlsaj poiuiing. She was not especially pfei ty. though she possessed a soft dark eye which was very expressive, thougti of what no one could exnetly deter mine. Within four hours after her arriv al she bad divided tbe garrison Into two sections, consisting of those who lilted and those who distrusted her However. It was not long before net friends wore converted to the opposite side by the fact that she was ernrhl talking with a private in the ranks named Conover. A few of those who had fancied her remonstrated with ber. telllnn her that perlinps she didn't know that nssocliitlou with an enlisted man by the families of the officers was prohibited. She listened to them le niurely with those singular eyes of hen1 fixed on them, but said uothlng. Nov ertheless only a few days bud passed wben she was ngain seen talking with the snme man. Tbe matter now came to the ears cf Mrs. nertmnd. who gave ber niece lecture and told her that If she was spnlnst caught noticing any one of tte enlisted men as an equal she Bhould he sent home. Then Evelyn-Evelyn Pierre was her name nuked with real or feigned Innocence her aunt could not tell which w hy she could not treat one lu the ranks Ji'si us she would treat an officer Mrs. Cert rand coiilO ouly say that It wasn't the custom and has been an unwritten law Iniheurniv And so Miss Pierce was In disfavor Those who showed their coudeuiniiliw most openly were the women of the garrison Tbe ofticers. whatever the thought of the young lady's action though they refrained from showlv! tier niurtteri attention, always treat tier with studied iHillteneiw This -H due the commandant's wife, whose niece and truest she was But It wis not long before several of the unuiur- ril vincors in-smi L l U tLA-fiH to let Miss Pierce a lone. There was some thing about ber that tbe cloud nanu Ing over ber could not obscure.

"Go in," be said. "I show yon whut I mean." Evelyn drew back. I "I show you tbat somebody here Is traitor; he goln' blow up magazine.' - Evelyn hesl tilled, but not for long. Possibly the uiun whom she knew bad benn captivated by ber appearance tor she bad spoken to him but once and then to warn blra not to trouble ber bad a secret which be would give to her alone. Bending low. she went through l lie optuiug. She could ee nothing for the darkness. On a shelf stood a lantern, wblcb Cncas Instantly lighted; then, after pretending to look for something, seizing ber und clap ping bis ' band over ber month, be dragged her through another opening, and she found herself outside tbe fort What she bad suspected waa plain to ber now, though so great waa ber ter ror flint ft only- flushed through ber mind. Cncas bad come to the fort to effect an entrance for bis comrades. He bad secretly made tbe opening to the magazine, concealed it and made another through tbe wall of the fort Desiring to possess ber. he bad ar ranged to take ber with blm wben ha went back to bis people. Doubtless long before dawn he would lead tbera through tbe magazine Into the fort an J massacre the cr.rrlson before tbey could 7orm to repel the attack.

"Come a step farther," she said, "and 1 11 drop It." She stood at bay ready to sacrltlc herself and tbe Indian.
