"It moans a cool tUrco thousand!
Think I'll turn that down?"
Helon did not answer. With tremu
lous fingers sho was tearing at the
margin of tho "Final Extra" with Its
flaring war headlines.
"There's no rlsk,.l tell you," persist
ed Warren. "London's all right, and
I'll bo back In less than a month. Now,
for heaven's sake, cut tho hysteria.
Huslness hero Is dead! I'm not mak
ing enough to pay tho offlco rent. If
I've- got a chanco like this I'd bo a
chump not to tako It."
Helen swallowed hard at tho lump
In her throat.
"Jovo, I'll have to hustle to meet
Griffin at 8:30," glancing at his watch.
"You'd better bo getting my things
together. That small stcamor trunk
In tho storeroom?"
Sho nodded.
"Well, glvo mo the storeroom key
nnd I'll have tho elevator boy bring
It up. Get mo an umbrella, will you?
Drizzling when I camo In."
Helen got tho key nnd tho umbrella,
nnd followed him to tho door. As ho
took his hat from tho hall rack ho
stooped to kls3 her with a brisk:
"Now, don't bo silly. You ought to
bo deucod glad this offer camo my
way. Don't sit up for mo. Griffin's
going over tho whole caso tonight
only chancq wo'll have." And with a
cheerful "So long," Warren stopped
Into tho olevator.
From tho front room window Helon
gazed down at tho umbrella that camo
out and bobbed up tho street. She
was still dazed from the announce
ment ho had mado at dinner with ouch
brutal abruptness.
Mr. Griffin had today offered him
$3,000 It ho would make a rush trip to
London to look after some Interest In
a stock company that had bocomo In
volved Blnco tho war.
Helen bad heard tho details only
vaguely. "Sailing on tho St Paul to
morrow noon," was tho part that had
seared Into her mind. Warren had ta
booed her fears. London was safe,
perfectly safo, and ho would bo homo
In less than a month. Three thousand
and all expenses paid It was an offer
to jump at.
A deafening thunder crash, a zig
zagged streak of lightning and tho
rain camo down in sheets. It was tho
climax, as It were, to her own terrify
ing thoughts. Tho curtains were
soaked boforo her hands, weak with
trembling, could put down tho win
dows. Then, with her nerves still n-qulvor,
she hurried to answer a startling ring.
What could It be? No one would call
so late!
It was tho bellboy with tho trunk.
"Mr. Curtis said you wanted this up
tonight."
"Oh, yes, Just Just take it in there
in tho bedroom."
With tho lump tightening In her
throat, Helen looked down at tho
trunk, which boro tho labels of tholr
London trip two years ago. Sho had
been going with him then. Sho
thought of all tho Joyous preparation
for that trip I
Now ho was going nlono with all
Europo at war! What might not hap
pen? Hor mind was filled with lurid
pictures of posslblo dangers. How
could ho consider tho lhonoy a com
pensation? Mechanically Holen unlocked tho
truuk. Thq tray was empty. Undor
pcath woro two steamer rugs, a shawl
strap, a heavy trunk strap, Warren's
traveling cap and an air pillow.
Slowly sho took out the things nnd
scooped up tho scattered mothballs.
For a long-lime sho knelt thoro, the
,rugs on "her knee, fumbling with tho
balls sho had thrown Into tho cap.
Her breath camo fast. Her hand
clenched tight over tho crunching
Jja'lls. Then sho started up, throw tho
things on tho bed, rushed out to tho
hall and rang peremptorily for tho ole
vator. Not until the car shot up did
she tako her tcnao finger from tho but
ton. "Thoro thoro's anothor steamer
trunk In tho basement," breathlessly,
J,that Mr. Curtis forgot. Wo'ro sail
Ing tomorrow, eo I must pack tonight.
Will you bring It up at once?"
In a fow moments tho trunk was In
her room. With a desperate, feverish
hasto sho began to pack Wurren's
tnfnk first and thon her own.
There was no hesitancy or uncer
tainty In her movements. Hor usual
Indecision was swept away by a reso
lute declsIvenoBs. Her tense oxclte
ment acted as a stimulant that urged
hor on.
It was after twelve and sho was
crowding in hor tray tho last fow
things when sho heard his key In tho
door.
"Hello, you up yet? Take this, will
you?" thrusting at hor the dripping
umbrella. Thon as he entered his
room; "Got tho trunk packed? That's
flue. Put In plenty of underwear?
Don't know whon I'll get any washing
done"
"I put In live suits," her volco mis
leadlngly quiet; "thnt's all you have
clean."
"Ought to bo enough. Phew, I'm
tired," pooling off his coat and vest.
As. ho throw them on a chair his
glance fell on Helen's packed trunk,
which stood conspicuously by tho open
door of her room.
"Why, what's all this?" gazing at It
with a puzzled frown. "What the
devil" j$L
"I'm all packed excopt a fow things
I'll need in tho morning."
; You're packed! What In thunder
Arc ym lazy?"
, "Na, &mr, but I would bo If I'd
let you ga or this trip alono," wrap
ping hr kd mirror In an underskirt
and puttlnr It hi tk tray.

For n moment he stared nt her, then
turned away with a sneering:
"Don't bo a fool! Cut that stago
acting and holp pack my suit case."
"It's already packed. Do you want
to tnko that gray sweater? I left It
thoro on tho chair," deftly fitting In
hor bedroom slippers.
"Seo hero, wo'll sottlo this right
now! I'vo got enough to put up with
without any new capers from you."
Holen roso from tho trunk and
turned to him with a florco Intensity.
"Warren, I'm going! I've thought It
nil out. You've n stateroom alono
you can easily got another passage
But If you won't do hat I shall go
anyway. I'vo enough money of my
own."
"Have you gone stark, staring
mad?" bellowed Warren.
"Thero's no uso roaring nt mc. This
tlmo it won't help. I'm going on tho
St. Paul tomorrow If I havo to go
steerage. Dear," sho laid a pleading
hand on his arm, "I'vo nover felt about
anything us I do about this. I'm des
perate can't you seo that? I can on
tluro anything but tho thought of your
taking this trip alone."
Warren looked at her In nstonlsh
ment. It was a phase of hor charac
ter ho had never scon.
In tho mildest and meekest woman
there Is always tho possibility of a
desperation, an emotional recklessness
that may never bo aroused. Tonight
It had been aroused In Helen. What
ever sho might feel tomorrow, tonight
sho had this reckless courngo that
know no fear. Sho could havo hurled
herself from tho window without a
tremor.
If Warren wont nlono ho might
nover return, ho might in soma way
become involved in tho wnr-lt wa3
this thought that Impelled her.
With a muttered oath Warren strodo
Into tho library and began sorting over
some papers ho wns to tako with him.
Ho did not speak or even glanco
toward Helon again. Tho paperB
packed, still in a glowering silence ho
took his bath and throw himself heav
ily Into bed.
Whon Helen crept In bcsldo him,
sho pressed a wistful, caressing cheek
against his shoulder as ho lay with
his back toward her. Dut ho shook
her off with a savage:
"Let mo alono, will you?"
With a sigh sho turned awny. For
hours sho lay watching tho whlto cur
tain as it fluttered out in tho faint
light from tho street.
Thero, is nothing so intimidating, bo
fatal to self-confidence, as n slooplosa
night, and gradually Helon felt her
courage weakening. Hor plans so
boldly conceived now seemed Impos
sible. Yot for Warron to go alono to tnko
tho risks sho folt ho would tako if sho
wero not with him! Sho turned nnd
throw her arms about him with a pro
tective tenderness, softly kissing his
hair and neck and shoulder until ho
stirred uneasily In his sloop.
It was dawn boforo Helen's tortur
ing thoughts grow confused. . . .

a riotous mob. Wns It London? Sol

"Seo hore, It's almost soven." War
ren was Btandlng by tho bed In his
bathrobe. "If wo suit at noon you
can't Ho thoro all day.''
Dazed, bewildered, Helen gazed up
at him. Tho sound of his words was
still In tho air, "If wo Ball nt noon"
Then hor mind cleared.
" Warron 1" Sho drew htm down to
the bed besldo her. "You said 'wo.'
You moan you aro "
"Huh, from tho way you rantod last
night I haven't much choice."
"Oh, you havo you havo," as sho
clung to him. "I wbb dosperato last

ecstatic sob.
"Well, I'vo mulled It ovor. It'll bo

And, dodging Helen's clinging arms,
next moment Warren was whistling In

Braves' pitching staff. It sets a rec

tho best previous mark of 1,381, set
by Huntington R. (Tack) Hardwick,

WILTSE IS GENEROUS PLAYER
Veteran Pitcher, Whom Giants Re
leased, Gives Credit for Success
to Catcher Warner.
Baseball "fans" and players all over
the country will regret that tho en
forcement of the 21 player limit rule
necessitated the release by tho Giants
of George Wlltso, tho veteran left
handed pitcher, for ho Is ono of tho
most popular players who over trod a
diamond. Ho probably has moro real
friends than nny ono else connected
with tho game. His quiet, unassum
ing manner has won for him the top
notch In country-wide esteem.
In his day Wlltse was one of the
greatest southpaws that ever un
leashed a curve. He had splendid con
trol for a left-handed fllngor and was
unquestionably tho greatest fielding
pitcher of the game.
Wlltse Insists to this day that it
was old "Jack" Warner, tho catcher,
George Wlltse.
Who was responsible for his success.
Ho said; "If ever n catcher know
how to 'hold up a pitcher It wa3 War

tors in tho league could not hit, and
I dopendod entirely upon his Judg
ment. Ho was tho brains of the com

Davis camo originally from Wil

tho ball team. After leaving college
in 1913 he signed with the Boston
Braves, but was sent to tho Interna

Great things are expected of him this

MANAGERS FOLLOW J. M'GRAW
All the Big League Pilots Are Now
Employing Veteran Coaches to
Develop Their Young Pitchers.
Everybody seems to bo doing now
what Johnny McGraw started doing a
number of years ago the employment
of a veteran coach to train tho young
pitchers.
McGraw's old teammato, Wllbert
Robinson, was looking for a Job somo
years ago. He applied to McGraw.
Robinson was too old and too bulky to'
play. McGraw was Just about to turn
down Robinson when ho thought about
the coaching idea.
Robinson wns a great catcher In the
old days, and he always had accom
plished great results In handling young
pitchers. v
"You'ro hired," McGraw said to Rib
inson. "Your tlMo 1b coach. Your Job
will bo to develop my young pitchers."
Robinson made good. He labored
long and patiently with "Rube" Mar
quard but he got results. "Jeff" TeB
rcau was as wild as a Zulu warrior
whon ho was turned over to Robinson
for "treatment." Tesreau today ranks
as ono of tho greatest pitchers In base
ball. Robinson mado a good pitcher
out of "Al" Demnreo.
The success of Robinson with the
Giant recruits has Influenced most of
the other big league managers to hire
a veteran catcher to coach tho year
ling twlrlers.
South American Tour.
Charles A. Comlskoy believes that
the South American tour for tho Whlto
Sox and the Giants next winter will
eclipse tho lnti junket around tho
