In a year from their first meeting

about the woman who had

wished she had looked at her through

But it had not occurred to her at the

rather x'ague idea that the woman
was oung and pretty, and the uncom

information came to her, well and

Fascinations of Baseball Shown
New York Incident.
Baseball has a charm all its own.
Last Saturday at noon a promoter
started down Wall street to take a
steamer for British Guiana. With him
was an Englishman who had never
seen a ball game, having lived all his
life on his estate bordering the Esse
quibo river. Tl.e promoter was going
down to buy from him for a syndicate
a vast tract of forest land.
A pack of youngsters from Water
sfeet, chased by a policeman from
their native heath, began to play base
ball on narrow Hanover street, just
when the promoter and his friend
should have been increasing their
pace. So they stopped along with
hi'ndret's of others, from bankers to
push cart men.
The field was a narrow one; the
eight-year-old batter faced the City
bank; right field was blocked by
Rrown Brothers, and left field by the
Custom House. The catcher's back
stop was the United States Lloyd's
building.
The play was scientific. The Eng
lishman was an apt student and
joined in the roar as a three-bagger
into an iron shutter of the Custom
House cleared the bases. Then fol
lowed a home run into an apple cart
en Wall street; those who chose to
celebrate the play by picking up ap
ples and eating them did so.
The promoter finally dragged the
Britisher away. They missed their
steamer at that, and it took a lot of
persuasion plus a yellow note to get
a busy tug boat captain to give chase.
Off Bay Ridge they boarded their
liner talking baseball. New York

"The more reason why I need a
change. The fact is. my business is
too much for me this debilitating
spring weather. I suspect I am a little
bilious, and since Mr. Henderson and
our uncle have chosen to leave the
mill business so much to me, that
with my duties at the bank, has worn
me down. They will have to take the
reins in my a?sence, and Tony will do
very well at the bank for the two
weeks I am away."
"Always two weeks," murmured his
wife.
"Yes; and I am sure it seems like a
year."
"Then why do you go?"
"Because I must. You would not un
derstand. It is best that I do not ex
plain at present. There goes the
whistle. What shall I bring you,
Claire?" going to his little girl's side
and stooping to kiss her.
A small face, framed in golden hair,
with big. dark eyes looking out from
under fluffy bangs, was raised to his
as she sprang to her feet.
"Oh. a ring, papa a gold ring,"
"All right. I won't forget. And you,
Perley?"
"A writing book, if you please.
Mine is all written through."
"Very well." kissing the boy as he
had his sister.
"And what shall I bring you Con

wife's side.
"Just yourself, and let it be scon."
looking eag.:Iy and earnestly into his
face.
"I shall be back soon, never fear.
Constance, you are more beautiful
than you ever were, and I love you
better," he whispered. "I wish I were
at home again. I will be s"oon," And
kissing her hastily he took his valise,
after putting on his hat, gloves, and
overcoat, and left the house.
His wife stood by the window
watching him until he was out of
sight, when a thrill of superstitious
fear shot through her.
She bad watched him out of sight.
Away back in her childhood a maid
en relative had so strongly impressed
her mind with the malevolent influ
ences of such an act that she could
never, despite her common sense, get
rid of the belief.
But she was cheered the next mo
ment by recollecting her tower. She
sped quickly upstairs, then along the
corridor and to another flight. This
brought her to the foot of the tower,
which was built at one side of the
house, and rose fifteen feet above it
There were windows in it on all sides,
and it gave a commanding view of the
it had been a mystery. Among the
townspeople they were looked upon as
business trips to Boston, but she her
self knew that he went elsewhere.
And he stayed from home two weeks.
Once he left her quite ill. though out
of danger, the physician assured him.
Another time she asked him to take
her with him and he refused. Always
there was an air of secrecy, a grave
abstraction. rn intangible difference
in his mann'r. as if called about an
irl-sonie business
Meanwhile, Clare and Perley were
added to their home, and they had
been happy ilirough the eight years
of their married life despite the mys
tery of his yearly trips. For she
trusted him. She was sure that he
loved ner: but each time as the middle
of May approached she grew nervous.
and in various indirect ways tried to
hinder his going.
Just at that moment the sun burst
out. The most unbelieving could not
call the weather into question, but
still the cloud sat on Mrs. Hamilton's
brow. "Some women." she whimpered,
for she was quite alone, "would sus
pect their husbands of wrong-doing, to
go away as Vane does every year so
mysteriously"; and then she went
slowly downstairs to her own room,
pausing on a stair to listen to the
children's voices in the dining room.
"I have them at all events," she
thought.
Going straight to her mirror she
gazed long at her own reflection, not
ing the clear, colorless complexion,
the dark luminous eyes, the rich
brown hair with its gleams of gold,
the tall, graceful figure, and the in
tangible charm which blent them all
together into a charming personality,
her own. She loved her husband
deeply, and was not insensible to the
compliment he paid her when going
away. "Why did he go, if he did not
wish to? Surely business did not de
mand his absence. He had no rela
tives. He did not go for his health;
besides, his trips were yearly. A wave
of color sped over her face and she
clutched her bands nervously.
Just then the children came rushing
in, and Perley said, clasping her hand,
"I am glad you are pretty, mamma.
I should hate to have a homely one,
shouldn't you, Clare?"
T should get used to It In time, I
presume," said the precise little maid
en. Mrs. Hamilton took them both in
her arms and hogged them tightly for
a moment Then she made them tidy
for school, but Instead of letting them
go off alone, she put on a street dress
and went with them.

His Reference.
In the course of a conversation be
tweun two men at the club last nighl
cne of them jokingly remarked thai
a man with a "cheek" could get anj'
thing he desired, and he backed up
his statement with the following
s.ory:
One of his friends, a merchant, had
advertised for a porter. A big, burly
Irishman applied for the job. After
looking him over the merchant was
satisfied with his appearance; the
only objection was the question of
references, and the Irishman did not
seem to have a very good one. "Can
you get no better reference than
this?" asked the merchant. "O vis,
Sor; I kin git je the very best kind
of a wan. if that's all ye want. Sir;
and I don't have to go far for it. either.
Me farther and me morther, Sor. live
down the tthrate. and they've known
me all me life
And he landed the job.
A Penurious Deacon.
The late Rev. Dr. Fay, once settled
at Leonminstr. when in charge of
another parish had a close fisted dea
con who occasionally loaned money
when he could get e:worbitant rates of
interest.
A poor widow who owned a small
homestead applied to the deacon for
a loan, and he let her have it. The
intercut mentioned in the note was 9
per cent.
Dr. Fay heard of the transaction
and took the deacon to task for the ex
orbitant demand.
"When the Lord looks down from
heaven, deacon, and sees that note,
how can jou justify your act?" he
asked.
"Dr. Fay. if the Lord should look
down from heaven, that 9 will look
like a C."
A Sharp Voice.
"Mr. Eomong has a rather sharp
voice, hasn't she?"
"Sharp? Well, it's a voice that
never needs any honing. She was at
