There was only a hall boy there, asleep in the elevator, and I looked at the thing with the names on it. "Mr.
Corbley," the boy assured him, eagerly, "and to tell the truth wild horses couldn't hold me back, after what I've already learned. I must see the end of your queer game, sir. But I'm glad that it isn't likely to interfere with our working in the baseball match, which starts at three this afternoon on the home grounds." "Oh!
