It seemed ne' dlessly cruel to shock her with the story of the murder on the island at that time; some hours must surely elapse before Appleyard could return; indeed. Coast did not expect bin. tilt the evening. And un til then matters must stand as they were; nothing must be allowed to happen to ro .-e ftlackstock's suspi cions But if she knew that Power had been assassinated—could existing ■ onditions continue to obtain? Would : in* be able to continue to bear hetselt oward Blackstcck as she had thereto fore? He dc ided to keep h«r In the dark Finn and Hecksber and Haudysloe ao nothing rash." “He can prevent them?” A pucker of perplexity gathered between her brows. “How?” "He'll manage somehow; he's very clever, Appleyard is—” “Hut he must have some plan.” she countered quickly; "and you would know it. You're keeping something back. What is it? What does it mean?” "I’ll tell you in a moment,” he tem porized. "But first I'll ask some questions " "Still puzzled, she held his eyes In tently. “1 can’t imagine what you mean. But go on.” "You told me that he—Biackstock settled here to work on his inventions. Do you think he has accomplished much, that way, since you came to the island?” She shook her head slowly. “Not a great deal. His eyes have hampered progress, of course." "1 thought as much. . . . And do I understand that no one ever vis its the island except your weekly boat j from New Bedford ?" "No one. . . . That is, sometimes, fishermen—” "Kor what purpose?" "I don't know; there was once quite a settlement of them down there, you know; and 1 understand they still use some of the buildings to store dried fish in. I'm afraid that never inter ested me much.” "You never watched them—?” "No; generally they come to an chor after nightfall and are gone be fore daylight the next morning. Some times he has gone down to the beach to talk to them, but as a rule Mr. Power went with him.” "Their visits are fairly regular?” "I think so; the schooner comes about once a month. 1 should say Hu:—" I I'll Tell You in a Moment/' He Temporized. » r.^ as { oss.Lie.

"You see, 1 | Know enough about the system to make a stagger at operating. You i foreet my experience with the signal <orps in the Spanish war—that taught me Morse: and it also interested me enough in such things to make me spend a good deal of time iD the wire less room every time I crossed the w ater. I couldn't help picking up a working knowledge of the system un der such circumstances. Don't worry; I'll make good when the call comes." “But this Mr. Handyside—he may arrive at any time now; and then—" l doubt if he ever sees the island," j Coast interrupted, smiling. "You see, 11be Corsair did run aground in Quick's Hole; v.e were the amateur asses that .rot In her way And we left her there Now Appleyard—that's my companion — has gone back to see that Messrs. "And between whiles smaller boats call?” "Now and then, yes.” “Do you recall when the schooner was here last?" “About a month ago, I think. ' But. Garrett—” "Just a minute, and then I’ll explain what I’m driving at. . . . Now isn’t it a fact that Blackstock and I’ower were busiest with the wireless as a rule for a few days before the schooner showed up?” She nodded thoughtfully. ”1 never connected the two; but it was so. How did you know?” "I merely guess. Now I’m going to guess again, in another direction. . . . You didn’t Inherit much from your aunt, did you?" “Why ... a few keepsakes only. You see, she disapproved of my engagement to Mr. Blackstock. Gar rett, and when I—was stubborn, she changed her will. Just a little while before she died. She left everything in trust to me. but 1 was to receive nothing until I divorced my husband, or he died. The house is mine, but not to rent or sell, nor may I live in it except alone or with a woman com panion only." "I thought—something of the sort. . . . Your private fortune wasn’t large, was it?" “Not large—between sixty and sev enty thousand dollars.” ."And you let Blackstock take care of it?” Of course. He was my husband, I loved and trusted him—then." The last word fell with a bitter accent. And while abroad—he gambled pretty extensively?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) Romance Is Not Yet Dead Little Incident of the Streets of San Francisco Shows That It Still Lives. At the corner of Twenty second and Guerrero streets a young man waited for a car. Out of the corner ot ms eye he saw two other people wait ing—a boy just out of his teens and a . young girl. A suit case stood near 1 them. The boy leaned against a plate giass window and looked Impa tiently up the street “I wish that car would hurry!” mur mured the girl in a tone of voice low, hut not so low that the near-by young man could bear. ' What if your father should coma along!" the boy muttered. "Gee. it 1 your father should come along before I the car gets here!" 1 "Ok. he won’t." the girl said, with a simulation of unconcern. "He never walks along here where the cars go. He doesn't like the noise." "If your father should come t.ong first!" muttered the boy. That was evidently the thing uppermost in his mind. And the young man who stood near by smiled to himself to know that ro mance is not dead, but still lives— in the mission! And he smiled again to think that of the two the girl seemed the cooler. —San Francisco Chronicle. Good Thing to Do.

MANAGER OF PIRATES SAYS BUT LITTLE r 7 Artist Cesare Depicts Fred Clarke. ay numtH lkut, If you will look it up in the die tionary you will find it this way: Fredclarke: (noun) see Old Gib raltar. And then if you will turn to the o’s you'll read: | Old Gibraltar: (noun) see fred-' clirke. That’s what he is—Old Faithful. I You can depend on him 3C4 days out , of the year and if he turns up miss | ing on the three hundred and sixty j fifth you may know some doctor has a thermometer under his tongue and | his thumb on his pulse. He was born on a farm in Madison | County, Iowa, thirty-nine years ago, j and did not talk until he was old enough to harness a horse alone, and never since has he said more than three sentences and four goldarnits ■ in succession. Before he utters a | complete sentence outside the ball park he gets out the screw-driver, the die cutter and iho alligator wrench, goes all over his vocal apparatus, i chokes once, strains for a start and then puts a period at the end of the fifth word. The only time he can j use two sentences in succession with out getting rosy behind his ears is when he describes his thoroughbred heifers. One Saturday when he was seven teen years old, after he had got the jimson weeds all cut, lime sprinkled on the cucumber vines and the rock salt laid out for the cattle in the back forty, he went to Omaha where he saw his first professional game of baseball. It excited him so that he didn't sleep for three nights, and when he went back home and told the rest of the fellows that^the play ers all had a full suit apiece they nearly hurt themselves laughing and said Fred was trying to put on airs Just because he had been to the city. His first game was play ad with the l Mayings, rsenrasKa. team ana ne has been In the big league business eighteen years. His first games were on the prairie, so naturally his games now are on the level. (It's rotten, but we'll let it pass). He is one of the wealthiest men in the business, having such a big stock farm at his home near Winfield. Kansas, that he has to get down a plat map of Cowley County to re member hew much land he has. It’s so large that it takes two automobiles and five hired men to run it He has two daughters and a phono graph. His was the first phonograph ever seen in that part of Kansas, the natives coming for miles and miles on Sunday afternoons to look at it, and then going away believing that Fred was playing a joke on them. They wouldn't believe it could talk until they locked Fred up in the kitchen and put the thing out in the front yard on a culvert tile of trail ing arbutus. He is a farmercist from the word go and would rather talk about Durccs in the back lot than about the best Bougereaus ever bung in the Metropolitan museum. The only habit, hobby or whoopla of the man who for ten years batted over .300, who won four N. L. pennants and one world championship, is chew ing a toothpick. He is rough on toothpicks, beginning on them in the morning as soon as he gets one foot through and keeping It up all day un til the Pullman porter begins hunt ing for the boys' shoes. When Fred Clarke wants to have a ripscorting time he drives a frieud out to the hcg yard in his auto, hangs one knee over the steeHng wheel, puts in a fresh toothpick and throws out a handful of shelled corn for hit Durocs.

Bench Bench Outfielder Bench Shortstop First Base Bench First Base Bench Catcher Bench Bench Catcher First Base Bench Catcher /VOTES °f I ISPQRTDOMI Baseball is becoming so popular it has spread to the penitentiaries. The pitcher's box should be on the level, the same as the pitcher, some critics contend. Garry Herrmann has decided the new leagues will burn out faster by not fanning the flames. When the major leagues expand they will never permit a minor circuit to do their expansion for them. The expansion of the American as sociation is no new thing at all. for it has been talked by the magnates for at least two years. Tip O’Neil, president or the Western league, is thinking seriously of invad ing Chicago, but is not certain Just when or where he will light. “Wee Willie” Keeler of the old Orioles is still a prominent figure in baseball. He will coach for Brooklyn this season and chances are the Su pcrbas will know just what to do if they are unable to win everything they would like. Gotch, the fans are told, turned Zbys zko down for a handicap match in New York. He also refused to meet Leo Pardello and the Mysterious Waf fles. Billy Evans and Jack Sheridan are unanimous that honesty is the bulwark of baseball. Other umpires weren't asked, but it is thought there will be no objection to this stand. John Franklin Baker, the tall third baseman of the Athletics, still thinks that Snodgrass spiked him purposely last fall during the world’s series. It was not the fact that he hit him with the spikes, but what he said when he hit him, that convinced Baker. William Dorsch, utility infielder with the Superior team of the Ne braska State League last year, has been named manager. Jimmy Collins is not yet ready to pass up the good old game, and may break loose in the New York State League the coming season. Frank Holohan, the Manhattan Col lege star, will be a candidate for the first base position on the Albany team of the New York State League Ross Thornton has signed for a try out with Terre Haute. He mav find that Springfield. 111., may have some thing to say about where lie plays. Fred Fitzgerald. Griffith’s new groundkeeper at Washington, has reached the capita! and Griff has put him at work on reconstructing the field. Recause he received a cut in his salary Eddie Zimmerman, the fast third baseman of the Newark Indians, has announced that he will quit base ball. Jack Dunleavy, the veteran outfield er, is now making his home at 108 East Seventh street in St. Paul. He is a free agent and looking for a minor league berth. Frank Chance is not so badly off for first basemen, even if he is unable to play the bag himself. He has Brans field. Hofman. Saier. Agler and possi bly Zimmerman available. Connie Mack is far from being a chronic kicker, but the great and only baseball sphinx set up an awful holler about the American League schedule, if he was reported correctly. Evidently Manager Dooin of the Phillies did not think so well of Tom Downey as did Horace Fogel. Ftogel bought him from Cincinnati and Dooin said he had no place for him. Clark Griffith was praised in Wash ington for his trade of Gabby Street for Jack Knight, but the Naps’ officials in Cleveland are being “panned" for trading Stovall for Lefty George. PITCHER IS VALUABLE Worth All the Money Manager Can Scrape Together. Na.ra'son Lajsie Turns Baseball Philosopher and Discusses Some Difficulties of Modern Mag nate—Would Go Limit. Napoleon I.ajoie turned baseball ■ philosopher the other day and dis cussed some of the difficulties of a baseball magnate. From his long ex perience as a manager and player he knows whereof he speaks. “Lots of people thought Barney Dreyfuss was crazy when he paid $22,500 for Marty O’Toole last fall.” re marked Lajoie. “I don't know wheth er Barney paid that much in cash or not, but if Marty conies through for Pittsburg it was money well spent If I were a club owner and had a pitch er offered me that I absolutely knew would be a star in the big league. 1 don't think I woulu hesitate at paying $50,000. It would be money well spent, but I doubt if many club owners will j agree with me. "But they spend the money just the | same in the effort without getting the star pitcher. When I came to Cieve ! land Somers and Kilfoyl had Addie Joss. He had cost them nothing and he proved to be one of the best pitch ers and ball players the game ever knew. But after they got Joss they invested a good deal more than $50, 000 in pitchers, without getting an n n Vean Gregg. L other man the equal of Joss, until ; Gregg: was bought. See my argu- I ment? The average club owner will think nothing of paying anywhere from $2,000 to $fl.000 apiece for pitch ing recruits who he hopes will make good. Nine times out of ten the money is thrown away, while the tenth time he may get only a fair pitcher. “My contention is that If the oppor tunity is presented a club owner should not hesitate about paying the price for a star. He’ll not only save money by not having to buy so many second-raters, but he will also make it i up at the gate. ‘Go back through your memory. In ten years Cleveland has had two real star pitchers—Joss and Gregg. Chi cago has bad Ed Walsh, and Walsh has been the one man to keep the White Sox out of the cellar. St. Louis has not had any. New York bad Chesbro and later on Russell Ford. Philadelphia had Waddell, Plank. | Bender and Coombs. Washington has had only one—Walter Johnson—while Joe Wood is the only one developed by Boston, although O’Brien looks as if he might be another one. Cy Young and Bill Deneen were stars at Boston, j but they were stars before they join- j ed our league. “1 agree with Addle Joss when he j said that pitching was the biggest j part of the game. If I had had Vean ] Gregg to work along with Addie back j in 1908 we would have played the | Cubs for the world’s pennant, but one star pitcher rarely wins a pennant, | especially if that star is a man who needs at least three days in between his games. "Yes. sir, star pitchers are mighty scarce. You can go out and get the outfielders who can throw, bat and run the bases; you can get the In fielders who can field with a lot of speed and hit fairly well, but you have got to go some to dig up two great pitchers in two or three seasons, to say nothing of in one year. No use talking. Philadelphia was lucky when it grabbed Alexander and Chalmers i the same season, and got them cheap ; at that” Make Money at Madison. Director George W. Ebler of the Wisconsin athletic department has j issued a summary of finances for the past year, showing a balance of $3, 975. Football profits and balance to taled S12.9S8. Other items: General expenses, $1,909; Camp Randall, $5, S2S; Cross-country, $328; Athlet ic Bulletin, $545; winter sports,, $401. Permanent improvements amounted to $3.38S and repairs and maintenance $3,291. Ought to Make a Good Leader. Talbot Taylor Pendleton, the new j captain of the Princeton football team, has a great Tiger ancestry. His great-great-grandfather was in the class of 1796. his grandfather was graduated in 1835, and he had uncles In the clases of 1834 and 1835. His father prepared at Lawrenceville, a famous Princeton preparatory school, but went from there to West Point Sprinter Shows Speed. Reginald E. Walker, the English Olympic games sprint champion, ran 110 yards in 10 2-5 seconds recently in a race in South Africa. Walker is now a professional, and an effort is being made to arrange a aeries of races between him and Nat Cartmcll the former University of Pennsylvania star, to be run in South Africa. Even a wise man never gets over be ing a fool to a certain extent. A remedy that has stood the test of time is worth trying. Garfield Tea relieves liver, kidney and stomach troubles. All of That. "Who is Nat Goodwin?" “He’s the center of the Ail-America married team.” Most of ’Em Do. "You certainly started out with fine prospects. Your credit was good ev erywhere in town." "That's why I failed.” His Business. “That man indulges in shocking language.” "Influence of his trade. Ha's a tele graph lineman.” Costly Necessities. A woman who wants alimony says her face powder costs her $400 a year. We shudder to think what she must spend for tooth paste. Or hairpins. Or shoestrings. There is one thing certain. The husband with a wife like that should deal directly with the factories and cut out the middleman. Possibly Willing to Assist at It. At a little party John T. McCutch eon consented to do a little impromp tu chalk talking, with the presiden tial possibilities for his subject. Me Cutcheon had made several hits. One of the party, chuckling, leaned over to another, a Democrat. “Pretty good, isn't It?” he asked. “What do you think of his execution?” “I think it would be a darned good thing,” replied the Democrat. His Coming Out. A fond Chicago mother is to give a :oming-out party for her son. Of ;ourse, we have no means of know ing the youth, but we fancy he must be exactly that kind of son—and we iwait with bated anxiety a full de scription of the coming-out costume. What will be done with the gentle routh after this severe social ordeal isn't stated, but it can be believed ihat he is to be rushed around to all sorts of society functions — and, of :ourse, carefully guarded against the natrimonial designs of fortune-hunt ng females. f ' 'l Something Extra Good For Breakfast, Lunch or Supper— Post Toasties Served direct from pack age with cream.
