"I found it out before I left the
island ye.-terday morning.’’ he said
slowly wordering how much he dared
tell her.
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

“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?”

"Just a minute, and then I’ll explain

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.

your aunt, did you?"
“Why ... a few keepsakes

engagement to Mr. Blackstock. Gar

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,

not to rent or sell, nor may I live in
it except alone or with a woman com

"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?"

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.

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

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

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.

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”
