...Punjab himself, now a wandering sailor who is unaware of his royal rights, abruptly enters and is shortly accosted by John Cass, an antiquarian and phrenologist from the British Museum. Cass tells Punjab that the right ear of the idol is the key to the kingdom, so together they break it off, and each takes half. Sthu Pid, the Chinese guardian of the idol, at once discovers the theft, and greatly frightened, is about to make s search, when he is interrupted by the arrival of Eben Roger, the Mayor of Unity, Maine, with his daughter, Lily, and her maid...

Their work, fortunately is fast for this time of season, and with good support should break-up the defense of the opposing forwards. By far the most serious fault of the team at present is the inability to throw goals when good opportunities offer...
