St. Paul, Minn., June 28.—Pub lished reports that the Great North ern railroad “probably will conie to the rescue financially" of the Demp sey-Gibbous fight at Shelby were met by a statement from William P. Kenny, vice president, that he re garded such action "as altogether improbable." Shelby, Mont., June 2R.—Outside of the fact that Tommy Gibbons nearly knocked Till e “Kid" Herman loose from his insteps, developments here in the Pempsey-Gibbons situation were of comparative unimportance. The challenger scored a near knock out over Herman during the training session with a right cross to the Jaw. Gibbons forebore to follow- up the advance, however. Instead, he clutched at Herman and held him firmly in his arms until the victim's head cleared sufficiently to continue. It was the first time that Gibbons had hit one of his partners with any degree of enthusiasm since he started j i-aining for the championship fight l^^.tuly 4. Herman, however, hag been a man of action since Joining the ramp, often standing toe to toe with the challenger in spite of the ■ disparity in height. The punch today may have Its effect on Herman's lack of cau tion in the future. The remainder of the session was featureless, the challenger boxing eight rounds In all. Bud Gorman. Jimmy Delaney and George Manley being the remaining parties of the second part. By Universal service. Washington, June 28.—Hal Chase, for mahy years a strr of the diamond and idol of baseball fans, but now disgraced, will he kicked out of Mexi co, where he recently went seeking new fortunes, if Ban Johnson, presi dent of the American Baseball league, has his way. Chase was barred by Judge Landis from ever playing professional base ball in the United States. He was charged with throwing games. Ban Johnson, it appears, recently learned that Chase hail crossed the border to the south with the idea if teaching baseball to the Mexicans. He wrote the Mexican embassy urg ing Charge B'Affaires Manuel C. Tellez to take Immediate steps to prevent the Mexicans from learning the Chase brand of baseball. Senor Tellez replied to Ban John ion yesterday, assuring the American league president that he and other of \ flcials of the Mexican government feat-gmuld do everything possible to keep ill undesirable players out of Mexi co, In order that the game may ac quire no taint in Its infancy there.

Neal.' Crittenden, 15 yeur* old. In a t y pi - cnl. red-ldomled American boy living with ttln parent* in Cnion Hill, a email village near New York City. Ho Han completed three yearn In preparatory school. Voca tion time arriven ami. with hln mother gone tjo vlnlt relatives, he and hln father debate' an to how Neale nhall spend hln vacation.

Old Jeanne Anilgorena French pennant woman. In employed by the Allens an a servant. Murlse In deeply Interested in the study of French and music. The first days of liberty were sweet enough, after the strain of examinations. Neale loafed or rode his wheel (he had a new 24 Inch frame bicycle now) at random up to Hudson Heights, and beyond on the Palisades. But less than a week of this was enough. He tried to amuse himself with baseball again, but it was not as he remembered it. The three years he had been at Hadley Prep, had separated him from his old friends., They were no longer to be found. Some were at work, some had moved away. The boys playing hall seemed absurdly young. The lots themselves were Absurdly small and rough. How could he have played there? He smve the thing up and moped. What was there to do? He got on his wheel again and went out over the Plank Hoad as far as Passaic, swung left through Montclair, the Oranges, out to Klizabeth and home through Newark. Home was just as dull as he had left it. Neale was bored to desperation, and on a chance went into the parlor and opened the book case. He was no great reader. In his own room there wag u fair collection of Henly, G. Manville Fenn and Harry Castleman, but none of these seemed worth re reading. He didn't suppose these grownup books in the library could be worth any thing, but he took down a volume to see. "Ours was the marsh country’, down by the river, within 20 miles of the sea. My first most vivid impression of the .Identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memor able raw afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for cer tain that this bleak place over grown with nettles was the church yard . . . and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard In tersected with dykes and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feed ing on it. was the marshes: and that the low leaden line lieyond was the river: and that the distant savage lair from which the wind was rush ing. was the sea; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and beginning to cry, was Pip. " ‘Hold your noise!’ cried a terrible voice, as ft man started up among the graves at the side of the church porch. 'Keep still, you little devil, or I II cut your throat!"' Half an hour later Neale was still standing by the bookcase, the book In his hand, his mouth hanging open, shivering In the clammy mist to gether with Pip and the man with the iron chain. An hour later he hid the book when the dinner bell made him reluctantly lay it aside. What made him hide It? An in vincible sense of moral decency made him hide It. He would have shudder ed and cowered like a modest girl whose bed-room door is opened inad vertently by a stranger, at the very idea of carrying the book to the ta ble and pouting out to his father] what It made him feel. With a shy, virginal delicacy he stood guard, half frightened. ■ half-enchanted, over the first warm gush from the unexpected well springs of emotion in his heart. If his father had come into the room, had seen what he was reading) and asked him how he liked It, lie would have answered briefly. "Oh. all rigid." Hut for the next three days he did nothing but live with Pip. and feel Intolerable sympathy, far deeper than anything he had ever felt in his own healthy life, for the convict victim of society. On the afternoon of tin third day. his heart pounding hard with hope, he was in the row-boat, in the track of the steamer. The Morris chair in which lie sat, swayed up and down to the ocean rhythm of the great deep* which bore him along. He [leered forward. There was the steam er at last, coming head on. He called to Provls to sit still, "she was near Ing us very fast,” . . . "her shadow on us.’Y . . . and then, oh, gosh! . . . the police boat, the betrayal, the summons to surrender! Neale's soul recoiled upon Itself In a shudder of horrified revolt. He rec ognized the traitor, a while terror on his face. Grinding his teeth, Neale leaped ift Ids throat. With a roar the water closed over their heads. . . he would never let him go, never, never . . . Down they went to the depths, to the black depths, fiercely locked In each other's arms. Neale smothered and strangled there , . mid cam*- up Into another world, the world of hooks. At the table that night, Ids father looked at him and asked. "You're not getting a cold, are yon, Neale?" "No. I gucHs not," said Neale blinking Ids reddened eyelids, and eating with a ravenous appetite Ills large slice of rate roast beef After Hud. time did not bring heavy on Ids hands. The days were not long enough. The volume which stood next to “Great Expectations” was called "The Tale of Two Cities.” "Which two cities?” Neale wondered. He opened it and began to read. In a moment, wrapped in a caped great coat, shod with muddy Jack boots, he was plodding up-hill beside the Dover Mail, his hand on his horse-pistol. The panting rider on his blown horse —the message, “Wait at Dover for Mam'selle.”—the answer in capital letters. "Recalled to Life!" With a long quivering breath Neale slid hack a century and a quarter, into a world vibrating with sorrow, hope, indigna tion. hatred, love. He dipped his handkerchief in the muddy wine spilled in the street; he looked up. not surprised to see the squalid Joker scrawl "Blood," on the wall; he climbed the filthy staircase, and averted his eyes in horrified sym pathy from the ruin of humanity who sat in the dark, cobbling shoes. And then, brushed in with great colorful strokes, the causes and authors of the filthy stairway, the squalid Joker, the ruined roan, the endless misery. With the four serv ing-men pouring out the chocolate of Monseigneur, Neale began to burn, like a carefully constructed bonfire, alight at last. He had never in Ills life before, given a conscious thought to social injustice or the poor, but every instinct for fair play, sound and intact in his heart, flared up hot ly and honestly, as he gave himself naively to the spell of the magnetic exaggeration and overemphasis of the story. He had "had” the French Revolution in ills history at Hadley Prep, and could have recited correctly almost any date in it. But, quite literally, he had no idea until after he had finished the story, that this panting, bleeding, weeping, thunder ing book had any connection with what he had learned at school. "David Copperfleld” was good, not so terribly exciting as the others, but solid food on which Neale, aware for the first time of his hunger, feasted with a deep content—ail except the parts about Dora, who made him tired. After this for a change, he reached up to a shelf above and took down at random one of the set In green and gold binding. This was •^kidnapped ” Thereafter he read nothing hut green and gold, till his eyes gave out and his father drove him out to spend a whole afternoon on his wheel. CHAPTER XIII Although lie had gone reluctantly, once he was out It seemed fine to he on his bicycle again. His forgotten body reacted with a rush to exercise and fresh air. Generally he expected to make at least 50 miles in a half day hut today was hot. Pedaling easily through Nutley he caught sight of a yong man playing tennis against two girls and stopped in the shade of a innple to watch the game, still sitting on his wheel, his right pedal locked over the curb stone. Tennis was not no universal then as now; Neale knew little about th» game Presently a chance stroke sent the hall Into the street. "Out!” announced the young man, and turning ran hack to retrieve it. As any American would do anywhere In the world when a hall Is in question. Neale stooped, picked It up and was Just going to toss it back when amazement paralyzed his arm. Could this slim youth in immaculate flannels possibly be linn Roberts? Don, the big boy who had played shinny and vacant-lot baseball with him, whom he had never seen but with a dirty shirt and unkempt hair! The elegant youth cried out, "Neale Crittenden! I’ll be blessed if it isn’t old man Crit! That'H luck! Come on and meet my friends and we'll have a set of doubles.'* He ushered Neale up to the net, where laying a patronizing hand on his friend's shoulder, he presented him. "Ladles, my old friend, Crit tenden. We used to be boys together long ago. Neale, the Misses I'Hder htll. Nutlet's peerless blodine duet, Polly and Natalie. Now, how about some doubles? Neale can use my old racket.” "But I don't play.” said Neale, alarmed at the Idea. "No, 1 honestly don’t. I've never had a racket In my hand. I'll watch." “Oh, fudge! That's all right. You'll learn. Nat and Neale, that's your team. Polly, my dear, come over to this court and back up your Vncle Don. No fair banging everything at Polly.” The essential rudiments were ex plained. Neale gripped the racket and the game began. At first his partner politely kept her own dourt but as the completeness of his inept ness became awfully apparent, she began covering more and more ter ritory, running across and snatching the ball from in front of his hesitn’lnu racket. In vain, for Don continually ; placed his return down her undefenu1 ed alley. The set was soon over. 8—love. "Now, frit,” said Don. Jumping over the net. "we'll have sex against sex." iConlinitrd In The Morning lire. I What about that suit or dress which never did suit you? Somebody is Just the right size for It.

Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love’’ Tim Way Mother (iraham Diplomat irally Changed Her Mind, Perhaps once in 10 years or so my mother-in-law admits that she is in the wrong. Dicky disrespectfully contends that she goes to bed with a nervous collapse upon such an ocas sion, and that the shock to the mem bers of her family is even more se vere. But her usual method of pro cedure, when she has decided to re join the family circle after one of her tantrums, is magnificently to ignore tlie casus belli which sent her into martyred seclusion. As I came up the steps of the kitchen porch in answer to her im peratively beckoning hand, I saw that she was following her usual method, with an extra touch of hau teur, prompted, I surmised, hy her consciousness of the ridiculously brief time intervening between her wrath prompted ultimatum that she meant to remain in her room until she left the house, and this sudden reap pearance. A Majestic Command. Of course, the news of Mrs. Dur kee's danger, which Katherine must have given her, was the reason for the sudden transformation. Mother Graham is genuinely fond of Mrs. Durkee, hut outside of that fact, her sterling qualities of soul, tested many times in our life together, always rise to meet an emergency, and I knew that she would let no rancor of her own stand In the way of extending aid to our old neighbor. That another less lofty motive was I behind her sudden change of mind 1 recognized with a little smile, wfiich I was most careful to hide from her eyes. But I have had so many amus ing experiences of her childish curios ity and love of excitement that I knew she never could have endured being shut up in her room while any thing so absorbing as little !iirs. Durkee's Illness was on hand. "Come Into the library." Her voice and the accompanying gesture with which she swept me with her out of the kitchen, wag so reminis cent of my childhood's thrilled terror for Alice, that I almost put my hand to my neck to see if it were llrmly fastened on. The White Queen's sanguinary command appeared the only logical sequence of my majestic mother-in-law’s demeanor. "What Is this about Mrs, Durkee?" she demanded sharply, when she hart closed the library door behind us, and although I was sure Katherine had told her everything save my sum mons of Pr. Br.iithwaite. I dutifully retold the whole story. She listened without comment until the end, then asked the question which I was dreading. "Who's going to operate?" "Alfred i« anxious to have Dr. Braithwalte.” I said, hoping that she would believe the idea originated with Alfred, "and at his request, I have just wired Kdwin.” at This House!" That 1 had succeeded in astonish ing her. 1 kn^w by her startled ex clamation: "What!” But when 1 had repeated my state ment. she looked at me steadily with narrowed eyes.
