away like a thistledown in the wind.
This time she was carried far across

Mexico and to the ranch beyond Tia

Angeles after this wide swing in the
open was inspired as is now known,
fo a temporary restoration of those
fa u'ties which guide the morals. She
wen' at onre to Judge Barclay’s home.
She was calm and penitent. Mrs. Bar

I’.'- judge was in no mood for a recon

vagaries. He did not know the girl

The girl s erratic path of wild child

into one pitifully crooked and crim

stole things without reference to their

The traffle in kind speeches and oc
' cMional sips from the chalice prepar
i er for other lips are potent factors in
the pleasantness of married life. When
1 Harm Jan Huidekoper and his wife
j added up the same column of figures
i to see if the results corresponded and
they would sometimes differ, he would
always say: “Dear, I must have made
I a mistake.” Less tact was shown by
' the autograph collector, who, perceiv

j bled out of bed crying to his wife:
‘You save the children and I wtll save
J the autographs.” Obviously, if an
! important thing is to be done, one
should ‘ do it one’s self!
Wordsworth on one occasion, when
talking to his wife, referred to a time
when, “as you know, I waa better
looking.” “But.” my dear,” replied
she, “you were always very ugly.”
Lady Deere, on her eighty-third
birthday, wrote to her grenddeughter:

Then, as medico-criminal records
have shown in other cases, the switch
controlling the nerve wires of this
girl's brain became set for a brief re
turn to the normal. She changed ab
solutely. Those who did not know at
tributed it to the influence of tracts
and such moral teachings as is given
collectively to inmates of institutions,
including jails. They were not aware
that it was periodic, and quite inci
dental.
During this mental lull much of h§r
gent'ctrr'S and girlhood sweetness and
charm for the time returned. Mr.
Thurnherr, a young Berkeley business
man, met and fell in love with her
and made her his wife. Before they
had returned from a brief honeymoon
the switch was on again, intensifying
her cunning and making her boldly
criminal where before she had been
cautious.
As Kleptomaniac.
One evening as he sat reading and
site embroidered, he fell asleep; quick
as a cat she slipped out of the house
and into a neighbor's, where she stole
some pretty articles of no use to
herself.
“Where have you been, my dear?"
"The kid cowboy was a girl—a run
away.”
asked the husband, waking as she re- ,
turned.
“I just ran over to Mrs. -‘s to .
show her my embroidery." was the
quick reply. "She is anxious to work
a pattern like it."
It was about this time when some
silverware which she had stolen and
buried was found, and the young wife
was under arrest, that Dr. H. N. Row
ell, who long had watched her career
from a distance, slipped actively into
her life. All the stories he had heard
concerning her pointed to tendencies
and gave confirmation to his suspi
cions that her abnormality was an in
cident that could be corrected.
Surgery Put to Work.
He.made a plea for her probation
and became her bondsman. With the
consent of the authorities, as well as
that of herself and her husband, he
took the young woman—she Is now
only 22 years old—under his profes
sional care.
Dr. Rowell’c theory was that aftei
the pressure on the brain was relieved,
a systematic daily hypnotizing of his
patient would cure her. Her sensitive
subconscious mind was to be instruct
ed to forget the past that had now
ceased to be vital and turn toward the
perfectly new future and all its pos
sibilities.
Victory for Science.
At first it seemed as If the strenu
ous surgical and mental trial she had
been through was to influence her but
temporarily. But it is beginning to be
evident that the old Jeannie Gordon
is as dead as the little Barclay girl
who ran away so many years ago in
a ruffled apron and became a boy.
Mrs. Thrunherr is interested in
things she never cared about before,
never thought of or appeared to no
tice. Always strikingly pretty in a
boyish way. and with unusually beau
tiful. pleading hazel eyes, the young
woman has an expression like that of
a child taken to see the ocean for the
first time—a sort of rapt wonder.
And now- that the awakening has
come after all these years, and the
child of impish impulse and the girl
whose brain reeled her always toward
the vortex have ceased to exist, she
remembers it as one recalls an ugly
dream phantom.
“1 am not. the same girl at all," sh«
says, with eyes that look straight into
yours—eyes that are soft, honest, sin
cere. “It used to be so strange. I
lived a nightmare—a wild, uncertain
existence which was as bereft of or
derly sequence as the jumble of impos
sible things through which we drift
in unhappy dreams. Oh, how differ
ent it is since the change came. The
world seems so much quieter, and now
I can rest. Without half trying, I can
be good like other people."—New

after a scouting trip. Besieged by the
eager correspondents the manager pro

that he had not signed any new play

"Nothing," was the smiling rejoin

"Did you uncover any phenoms?"
"Not any, but I did learn one

"What was that?"
"Why. to appreciate more than ever

CHANGE IN PLAYER’S WORTH
One Year He May Look Like a MiL
lion Dollars to Owner 2nd Follow
ing Season Prove Failure.
Star ball players are certainly a
mighty risky commodity.
One year a player may show to
advantage, look like a million dollars,
cause his owner to turn down all
kinds of fabulous offers for his serv
ices, and the following year proves
a big failure.
While every club owner is in the
baseball business to get the money,
still it's the one ambition of every ;
owner and manager to win pennants, |
otherwise there would be much more ;
trading and selling of players among
the various clubs of the majors and |
minors. Civic pride often keeps an
owner from selling one of his stars for (
a big sum.
Four years ago George Stone of the j
St. Louis club led the American
league in batting. Stone and his big
stick was feared by every pitcher
in the Johusonian circuit Every
club owner would have been delighted
to buy Stone at most any old price, ,
while the St. Louis fans simply idol
ized their batting king. All kinds or
offers were made Owner Hedges, but
he turned a deaf ear to them.
Stone was expected to be the big
noise the following year, but he
proved a rank disappointment. Trou
ble over salary caused him to get a
late start. Injuries set him back sev
eral times just as he was getting into
his stride and all in all he had a bad
year. One of the injuries to his
ankle slowed him up considerably
and since then a number of hits that
he used to beat cut go in the putout
‘column. Three years ago Stone would
have brought down something like
SI0,000.
A few years ago Manager McGraw
of the New York Giants offered the
St. Louis Nationals $10,000 for Pitch
er Karger and was willing to throw
in a couple of young pitchers to boot.
Owner Robinson of the Cardinals
wanted to give the fans a winner and
turned down the offer without even
hesitating. Karger failed to show the
next year, was traded to Cincinnati ,
and then turned loose to a minor
league club. He is now with the
Boston Americans, but is nothing like
the pitcher he was a few years ago. j
Not so many years ago Elmer
Flick, Jack Powell. Lou Criger, Terry
Turner. Herman Schaefer, Lee Tanne
hill. Bill Bradley, Bill Donovan and a f
host of other stars would have
brought fancy prices were they placed
on the auction block of baseball.
While quite a few of the boys are
still valuable to have around, there
wouldn't be any riot should they be
offered for sale, and they wouldn't
bring one-fift'n_ the price they would
have commanded five years ago.
Good players are players who take
long chances. Players who take un
usual risks are. of course, very liable
to injury, and slight injuries often
ruin star players. Yes. indeed, star
ball players are more delicate than
the daintiest bits of bric-a-brac.
CALLAHAN IS BIG SURPRISE
Former White Sox Manager and Play
er Is Proving Sensation of Season
in American League.
Jimmy Callahan, one of the veterans
of the diamond, is the surprise of the
baseball season. Jimmy was manager
of the Chicago White Sox several
years ago and left the club to manage
a semi-professional team in the Windy
city. Now he is back with the Sox
again and apparently playing as good
ball as he ever did. Speaking of his
come back Jimmy says:
• 1 11 tell you one thing; it's not old
age that stops most ball players, it's
the knee. That's what put out Ham- ;
ilton, McGraw, Rill I.ange, Jack Doyle
and Emmet Heidrick. That knee cap ,
will stop any of them. But that's not !
my case. I quit when I was manag
ing the Sox. 1 was having too good
a time. But I haven't been really out
of it. I was playing ball all the time
in Chicago. At one time I had Mike
Donlin. Tom Hughes. Jake Stahl. Bar
ry McCormick and myself on my team.
That's pretty nearly a ball club.
“As to the reasons for my coming
back there are four or five of them.
Jimmy Callahan.
In the first place. I needed the money
and semi-pro ball didn’t look so good
to me, for the party I rented from
raised the rent on me from $1,000 to
$5,000 a year. Besides, the American
association has just invested $82,000
in real estate in Chicago and you
know what they would do to the semi
pros. When I started they had two
other clubs. Now there are 11 semi
pro clubs in Chicago. One day I was
pro clubs in Chicago. One day I met
Commy and he said he'd like to have
me with him again. I was ineligible
at the time, so I said to him: ‘You
release me.’ fle did and they rein
stated me and here I am.”

Sufficient Evidence.
Having vouched for the honesty of

was subjected to a severe 'examina

"There are degrees of honesty,"
said the superintendent. “How hon
est is she?”
The good-natured man reflected.
"Well,” said he, “I’ll tell you. She
is so honest that if you throw any
thing that looks to be worth a cop
per into the waste basket you have
to tag it 'Destroy this,’ or she will
fish it out and put it back on your
desk night after night, no matter how
badly you want to get rid of it. I
don’t know that I can say anything
more.”
"No more is necessary,” said the
superintendent, and he proceeded to
hire the woman.

Two ladies seated at afternoon tea

After each had related several feats

minutes, without coming up to take
breath.
“Oh,” said the other, “that is
nothing. “My first husband dived be

“Yes’m, I follered the wotter for 16
years."
"Well,” said the woman, after a crit

Then she resumed her labors.

A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts.
A gentleman who has acquired a ju
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out In the Sunflower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-NTuts
as food. He says:
“For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in oui
bill of fare.
“The crisp food with the delicious
nutty flavor has become an indis

everyday life.
“It has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to

from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
