(rodius's T9am Win Basket
ball Game
Coding's team won the third game of I
basketball last night by the score of 15
to 14. The game was oy far the [
closest and best-played of the series.
The result was in doubt up the last,
Sparks making the winning goal in a|
difficult attempt from almost under the
basket only a few seconds before time f
was called. Hillery's team led all
through the game up to thia time.
However, in the second half they were
on the defensive most of the time, and
Coding's team cut down their lead
rapidly. Shorten and Sparks both did
well in this half, the former getting
three baskets and the latter two.
Tne greatest improvement in the
playing was in the team-work. Most
of the Koals were made by some man
left ungarded, following a short pass
from a man watched closely. Shorten
especially seemed to ijave a knack of
getting into the open spots, and his
team mates showed good judgment in
passing the ball to him. The goal j
throwing in general was inaccurate.
Hawxhurst, Tdford and Shelley misi-l
ing many beautiful chances. The j
fumbliDg also was miserable.
While the play is still unnecessarily
rough, and many fouls are made, the
more striking forms of roughness, such
as striking, pushing and holding are
almost eliminated.
The next game will be played Friday
night.
Ail members of the club desiring to j
play are requested to be presnt in their
basketball clothing.

, THE SMELL OF
THE CRAVE
6 6
(Original.)
"Tom. I smell newly turned earth."
Tom Glascock and I were sitting on
his porch at'ter dinner, smoking. As
soon as I had spoken I saw him turn
pale.
"Take that chair over there." he said,
pointing to ouo ou the other side of
the porch from which 1 was sitting.
"Why so?"
"Change your seat," he said impa
tiently. "and I'll tell you."
1 changed my seat, .taking plenty of
time lo do so, and when seated Tom
said:
"A man was shot sitting exactly
where you were."
"When? How? Who shot him?"
"Some one with whom he was at
enmity-. 1 never iKtird the whole story,
but I know he spoke of smelliug fresh
ly turned eartli just before he was
shot."
My heart began to thump wildly. A
man had smelled freshly turned eartli
and been shot. 1 had smelled freshly
turned earth and had lieen sitting in !
the very spot the murdered man had
sat.
"Tell me about the shooting." 1 s.iid.
"You must know tli.it. even if you
don't know the story connected with it.
"Maitlainl was his name, lie owned
this house. 1 bought it from liitn. or.
rather, from his wife. 1 asked her
about the story, but all 1 could get her
to say was that exactly at this time of
day he was sitting just where you were
seated when he called to his wife, ask
ing her who had been digging alio'"
the porch, to which she replied t
she didn't know of any one ha\
been doing s?. A few minutes law
that window over your head was
raised, a shot rung out and Maitland
fell over dead."
1 glanced uncomfortably at the chair
I had been sitting in and. sniffing,
smelled freshly turned earth.
"Good gracious!" I exclaimed. "There's
auother window on the other side to
(natch this one."
"I never thought of that."
I heard a step in the hall and. look
lng iu, saw uo one. 1 began to fee!
creepy. We had left Ed Glascock.
Tom's broth-r: Martha, his sister, and j
two lady guests at the dinner table far
an after dinner chat and heard a clat
ter of voices. 1 wanted to go back and
Join them, but did not care to show
my trepidation.
"How did this mail. Maitland';. ene
my, get into ?he house?" ??!. glanc
ing furtively up at the wi:id'?v from I
which the shut had been tired.
"I think he had called t ? protest
against the foreclosure oi' .t in ?ilgagc
on his home or something like that, lie
and Maitland had quarreled nlx.ut it.
and Maitland had left him, coming out
here to get away from him. lie heard
nothing for some time :uul supposed
the fellow had gone out by the side'
door. Then he smelled earth and spoke
to his wife about it."
"And then he was shot."
"Yes."
I glanced nervously at the window
above uio ami at tin' ouo opposite, wou
deriug if after one had smelled earth
he would be shot from the same win
dow as Maitlainl.
"I didn't know that was a sigu of ap
proaching death." I said.
"What?"
"Smelling freshly turned earth."
"I didn't either."
"I suppose it's the grave being open- j
ed in advance."
"Likely it is."
"I don't like this." I said after a brief
silence. "I smell earth? freshly turned
eartli. What's that ?"
There was a sound under the porch,
a sound of earth being thrown up.
Tom and I both hoard it. and both
tut'tuiil pate, \7c listened and heard a
RcmchiiiK underneath as if some oue
were scraping the loose earth together
preparatory to tossing It out of a
grave.
"1 wonder what's become of them
Inside," said Tom, a* though lie would
like an excuse to go in and Join theui.
"I haven't heard a sound from tliem
for some time," I replied.
Where it is again!" Torn said, with
a frightened look, referring to the
scratching.
"Aifd the earthy smell."
By this time we were so wrought
upou that 110 doubt we exaggerated
everything. Suddenly the window
above me? the window from which
Maitland h.-nl lieen killed opened, and
a shot rang out.
I was :is certain that I had received
a mortal wotmd as I was that it was
Km wiir: dark. I sank down ,m to the
porch and swooned.
When I came to myself i saw the
anxious faces of those with whom I
had dined. Kd ? I iascock's face was
very whit'1, and his brother Tom's was
also livid. In! there was ai-o au angry
look nil it. The women appeared ter
ribly fright, mil.
"Is ifc iiMirtaiV" I a-!ced faintly.
"Mortal: X"?. ' IM has teen piayiur,'
