Immediately after the third game
Trls Ford took Harney Lnrkln Into

urged Ford, "pointed out by everybody
as the man who pitched the Giant-killers
to another championship. Hut If
you lose, why you'll be nobody."
Meanwhile, James Wltitou Shulc
was giving enters to Krnest Stoadiiwti,
Just as the hecretnry of tho treasury
would have directed tlie chief of the
bocret service.
"You mustn't loe sight of Harney

only In time to get from City hall to
the park In a tnxl. Sot?!"
Ernest Siendnian slowly nodded his
head. "I have been every place but In
Jail with Harney." The keeper was a
man of few words.
That night Trls Ford ilept badly.

day's breaks, nut Shulc Jumped out
of bed sinking: "Toddy we win the
bunting!" Which goea to prove linn
premonitions are cloiely allied to the
"morning after."
At two o'clock that fateful after
noon, when the last man loft tint lock
er-room for the field, Harney Lnrkln
and Ernest Hteadmau had not report
ed at the park. For nn hour, by or
der of Trls Ford, President Henn's
limousine had been rushing about like
a hack on election day, searching
everywhere for the mlstdng pair. In
the business office the club's secretary
had tho telephone directory before

that some one telephone the morgue.

words. Already bin quick mind wn
looking ahead to the big battle for
the world's emblem.
"He'll show up tomorrow stop wor

soled Shute.
"Well, I appreciate your grand work.

at the park. lie grluuod as he re
marked: "We won the flag, sure enough; urn
I right?"
"Where you beon?" growled John
Benn, son of the club's president.
"Up-state," answered Harney uncon
cernedly. "What the devil you been doing?"
"FNhlng."
TMiliig this time of year?"
"Didn't catch nothing."
"You'll cutcli something when Trls
sots eyes on you."
"Jlebho."
Harney took the tnoM comfortable
chair In tho room, bit off o cihtoih
chew of tobacco, then picked up Inst
night's pink extra, and begun labori
ously to spell out the "riunhei fnuu
the Diamond."
Elsewhere Ernest Steadmnn wns ex
plaining to his mentor, James Wlnton
Shute. It appeared that Harney had
developed a robust thirst, which would
not be denied. Lacking confidence in
the Jiiil as ft haven, tlie worried keeper,
drawing heavily on his meager linn
glnnllon, had faked the story of a iiuir
velous trout pond up state. In the
crisis he conjured up such a remarka
ble picture of the pond, which win
"lousy with trout," as ho expressed It,
that Harney was seized with a sudden
determination to go thither.
"J tried to make him wait until the
pennant was cinched," explained
Stendman, "hut he sulci hu nlways
pitched better ball on a bellyful of
trout. Thought I planned It to get
back In time for yesterday's game."
"But I thought this was u phony
pond?" said Shute.
"It wns tlie one I told Barnej
about. Hut I hunted up the ni'nrul
one In the summer tour book of the
I'cnnwy."
"Whj didn't you get back?" demand
ed Win.
"BccniiMC Harney wouldn't come un
til he had one bite kept putting off
starting until, he says, onu (.peekled
beauty rises to my lly.' None rlz."
"You must have picked a Hue pond,''
cnld Shute.
"I did. They's nn Intake there from
a fiim-n-beur cheese factory and It's
killed ull the tlsh."
When Win Shute talked with Trls
Ford over tho telephotie about tho dis
appearance, reappenranco und "fool ex
planation," Trls replied :
"Well, we've won the pennant, and
they're here. What wo got to figure
on now Is so's It won't happen again.
Want to talk over tho world series
with you."
There was nn entirely new element
In the nppronchlng blue-ribbon event.
Of cnursu tho Giant-killer.' to u man
wanted to win. It meunt perhaps fif
teen hundred dollar more money in
each player's jeans. It meant, also,

owners were out to win keen to win.
First and foremost for tho glory of It,
Then for tho prestlgo It would give
the Ohint-klllcrs all over tho league
circuit rather, which they would con
tinue to enjoy another season. There
wits a third ronton, a very Important
reason.
Not once before In tho thirty-five
years of tho club's existence bail the
I'hlllles won a pennant. Yet within
ten yen is pennant winning had be
como something of n habit with I he
Giant-killers. Naturally, therefore,
they had the call on the patronage
of Father I'enn's homo town, having
coinmntidod popular fin or for num
ber of seasons. This popularity was
now In Jeopardy. If tho I'hlllles dem
onstrated that they woro tho bettor
team, the fans would turn to the new
kings of baseball the next season. For
the fan dearly loves n winner.
On form relying on the weak broth
er, Harney Larkln the Glant-Mllers
looked to have n shade tho best of
the argument. This being so, why
were the Hillllos the favorites In the
betting? Even money was at flrnt the
rule. Rut over In New York the
gamblers soon had the odds hammered
down until tho Nationals were favor
Ites at 10 to 0.
Gambling Trls Ford nhhorred, re
garding It ns the ever-present menace
to the Integrity of the national game;
and If ho thought u mnn, however
prominent, or Important, was seeking
n line on the Giant-killers as a guide
In betting. Trls would shut up like
it steel trap. It wasn't the bett'ng It
self, but the Infoimntlon behind the
odds, that troubled him.
It did not surprise him why. ho
did not kuow when he received a
letter, special delivery, from the Mxirt
Ing editor of one of the Now York pa
pers. The man who wrote It loved
fair ptuy and clean sport, und looked
upon Tils Ford as the apostle of tliu
one mid the exponent of the other.
The letter read:
"In this town the gamblers are
plunging on the I'hlllles. Regardless
of form, your club Is helng forced
down steadily In the betting. Jnko
Stinger and other big gamblers don't
look upon this betting proposition as
a 'gamu of chance.' not they. Gam
bling to them on such n scale means
a sure thli'g. It Is no Merct on the
Insltle. They say ou have only one
pitcher who can slop the I'hlllles. now
at the top of their butting, and that
Is Harney Larkln. They botist that
they have got him.
"Take this for what It's worth. You
doubtless kuow Larkln but I know
Stinger's crowd. They are betting on
a sure thing, or else somebody Is fool
ing them most awfully. Anyhow, look
out. Good luck."

"Tho money end of It don't worry

"Then whnt Is bothering you?"
Tho inunnger of the Giant-killers
hosltnted, his expression becoming ah
normally serious. "I don't know that
I ought to speak of It even It might
get tho Idea started, If It hasn't al

Shute. "What's on your chest? If
It's something threatening, we ought

"Kidnaping Rnrney Lnrkln? They'd

"Oh. they'd manage, that If they sot

James Wlnton Shute fell hack on

beam of dnwntng solution.
"We'll iiit somo one to watch the

said.
"Who?"
"The best detective we can net In
