I TOM KELLEY'S HOME RUN I m HOW A FAMOUS 11 ALL PLAYER HATTED HIS BROTHER OUT OF A DILEMMA. i i By ItOlinUT MELVfL/LU BAKER , A great fever was raging In the city ; day by day It raged , fiercer and fiercer ; strong and weak succumbed to it alllto ; there was no doubt but that tan base ball fever was at its bight. Men gathered In groups , ostensi bly to talk business , but the tide of conver sation soon turned Into another channel , wherein the prospoctn of the homo nlno be came the all-absorbing topic. The result of the game to bo played In the afternoon with the Tigers , the present cham pions , would practically dccldo the cham pionship. The sporting fraternity had placed largo amounts on the game , and the betting denoted an unusual Interest In the contest. Of the home nlno none of tbo players had" ( won sucli popularity with the "rooters" ns Tom Kcllcy. Ills appearance on the field ( was always a signal for an ovation , to which Jio would modestly doff his cap. In his posl- tlou c.a shortstop ho was a terror to opposing batsmen , for whom , by his marvelous work , ho spoiled many a drive that would , ordi narily , have meant a base hit. Ho led the Jcaguo In batting and was regarded as Oio only sure hitter In the country. Off the diamond mend ho was quiet and unaBsumlng ; a fact that added not a little to his popularity. It was refreshing to nee a man ot his cleverness - ness without a swelled head. Dick Kelley , Tom's younger brother , was n , heavy better on the game. It had been hlnteil to Tom that the lail was becoming a plunger , but Tom's remonstrances with him were of lltllu avail. Dick would reply , "You're too elow , old man ; you've got to take chances In this game of life just an you do In a ball gamo. " And Tom would say , 'YcH , I tfllto ovrry chance that comes my way. and , hometlnu'u 1 muko errors ; look out you don't juake some costly ones In your game. " On the dny of the game Dick entered hid homo In. a very nervous state and eat down to his dinner. Ho had always been hla mother's favorite , hut to her greeting ' ho scarcely replied , "Whero's Torn'ho domacidod curtly , "Just gone upstairs to rub his arm ; It's a 1)1 1 troublesome today. Did you draw the money for mo this morning ? " "O , that's all right1 Dick replied. It's upstairs. I'll bo down In a minute , I want to sco Tom , " and , rising hurriedly , ho left bis mother. He found Tom In his room nursing his iweak arm. "I'll rub that for you , old man , " ealdi Dick , taking up the liniment battle , "Much obliged If you will , " Tom said , toldlng out a liriuuiy arm tor treatment. "Who wins today , Tom ? " "Wo do , of course , " Tom answered , "it'll to a close game , but we'll pull It out all lgut. here was a moment's pause , and then iDlck said : "There's lot ot money up on the game , I've got a little pllo myself. " "Whero'd you got It ! " asked Tom , "Every- tody knows you went dead broke on the ' ' " 'tfuturlty. "That's ' no He. " ild Dick , "but I'm going to square myself today. It's a case of got ta wla this time. ' * Another pause , and then Dick blurted out ; ' 'Tom , I can make five hundred today If you lose the game. " 'So ! You're backlog the TlgeraT" said from , inns \\oair answered IJICK , i KOI cadi , G to Z , Now , are you golog to help me cut , or tee me go under ? " "See you KO under , If you're nuch a fool , " from said , sharply. "All right1' ! Slid Dirk , with desperation In bit voice"You'll tee the two hundred fit tbe old lady's go under , that 1 drew for tier this niorulof. " -"You don't mean - " and Tom's great arms doled around ha | brother's thrpat , "You put fetr raoocyi up. you curl I'll " . .vVJLtt' $ , Tim , " gasped Dick. "Stop , for "IV God's sake ; you're choking me. 'Sh ! Here comes the old lady. " "What are you boys up to ? " said Mrs. Kelley , who , attracted by the noise , had come upstairs , and there stood gazing upon tbe struggling men. "O , nothing , " Tom replied. "I was only trying my arm upoo Dick. It's time I was off to the grounds. " And then , turning to his Ibrother : "I'm a bit out ot form today ; the game may go against us. " The game was called for 3 o'clock ; long before that tlmo tbe rooters began to wend their way toward the grounds. In fact , bus iness almost came to a standstill , so Infec tious had the spirit of the national game grown. By 2:45 : the crowd had overflowed tbe bleachers into the field , where the policemen TEMPTATION. on duty were busily engaged In roping them off , Tbe grandstand presented a bright pic ture , for the fair sex had come out la force and color. A mighty cheer greeted the home nlno as It came oa the dlamcud , nor wa tbe appearance of the"Tlgera" allowed to pacs by unnoticed , It wan to be a "battle royal , " Tom Kelley was nowhere to bo focn and bis nonappearance was a signal ot much un- easlueu auwug tbe "rooters , " Tbe knowing cues ihook tbelr iitadi , declaring tb t tbclr prophesies . -ad como true that Tom Kelley had been o\erworked. A mighty shout put their dismal forebodings to rout. Tom bad como on the field. It was soon apparent to Tom's admirers that he was not In his usual good form ; he appeared nervous , fumbled badly , and seemed more Intent on his thoughts than on his work. Ono spectator noted hh Indifferent work with mo little satisfaction. Ulck Kelley chuckled to himself as ho watched the play from the grandstand. "I'm all right , " he thought , "If the rest ot the nine strikes Tom's gall. " The umpire called "game , " and the crowd settled down on the hard bleachers with an Intcntncss and pent-up enthusiasm that only the national game can uwukm. It was a game full of excitement and un certainty ; both nines played as It Inspired ; until the fifth Inning It looked to be "any body's game. " Then , with 'three men on bases and Tom Kelley at the bat , things looked bright for the home nine. Tom re ceived his usual ovation , together with a wist amount of unbidden advice from the wrought-up rooters. "Knock the cover off tbo ball , Kell , " cried one. "Ijose the ball , old man , " cried anoHier. "Strike one , " calloJ the umpire and Tom had not swung his bat. "Strike two. " A sigh went up from > the blcflchers. "Strike 'three. ' " Ai mighty groan from the entire crowd , The redoubtable Kelley , the Idol ot their hearts , who never bcforo had failed In an emergency , had struck out. Dick lighted a freih cigar ; he had almost shouted when the others groaaed. And BO the game was fought out. Inning by Inning , tbe last half of the ninth had been reached the sere stood nine to seven In favor of the Tigers , and the home nlno went to the bat. Two runs to tie , three to win. I If they bud not .won the reputation of being strong at tbe finish DO doubt tbe crowd , would , have left the grounds without waiting to see the end , hut the game might be pulled out yet. A chill made them shiver when two men died at first. The crowd got up to go ; they were ready to give up the ghost , nit they sat down again as the next man cached first on a clean hit back of second MBO. Apaln they rose from their scats , this time to cheer , two men were now on 4ho bases. Score cards were scanned eagerly to 'Hid out who was the next man at the bat , there was a significant silence as Tom Kelley stopped to the plate. There was doubt In the minds of the rooters , for It was apparent to all that Tom was having an oft day. At each previous time at the bat ho had struck out when a hit was Imperative ; he ihad fleldcd Ms position miserably and the tickle crowd had lost their confidence In him. As Tom walked to the plato from the players' bench his morning's Interview with his brother Hashed through his mind. Was It worth the sacrifice ? The game was In his keeping ; bhould he win or lose It ? As he faced the pitcher's box his mental strife was at an end. He braced hlmtelf for the effort of his life. In the hush of expectancy , ono heard only the tick-tick ot the telegraph operator ut the reporter's bench. The pitcher was more deliberate than ever la 'his ' delivery. Crack ! Tom had met the ball squarely , and it went sailing over the left-field fence , while Tom circled the bases amidst a perfect pan demonium. Hats , umbrellas , anything mova ble filled the air. Tom dashed across the plato Into a score of open arms and was berne on high to tbo grand stand. Old men Jumped In the air and vied with the small boys in doing homage to Tom Kelley. "Posn around the bat" eomo ono said , and no man there hut paid homage to his Idol. When Tom reached homo that night his mother met him at the door. "Dick has como homo sick , " she said. "I can't get a word out of him. " "I'll look after him ; don't you worry , " eald Tom. "I'll give him some medicine that will straighten him out. " As Tom entered the room Dick indeed presented a most piteous spectacle. .Tom saw something bright flash In the lad's hand and sprang Xipon his brother. " ' of fool " said Tom , "Don't bo an more a , as ho slipped the revolver ho had wrested from Dick into bis pocket. "You've distin guished youroelf enough in that line today. " "My Qed ! " gasped Dick , "I've lost the money ; I'm so strapped I 'can't put It back ; it'll kill the old woman if she finds it out. You might have pulled mo out of this hole If you hsdn't made that last hit. " An angry light llaehcd Into Tom's oyco , but he waited a moment before ho spoke. "Dick , I've pulled you out of a good many holes , but you were down too deep today. I did mean to lose the game today If I had the chance , and no ono would have been the wiser. It's always been said that Tom Kelley played ball for all ho was worth. Well , when I stepped the hat for the last time I know jny stock had taken a tumble * and It came across me what the old wonuto would say If ebo knew-wo both went crooked In ono day , and so Well , I lined the ball out for all I was worth , and I reckon my stock and my batting average have taken a As'Tom finished ho put hla hand in bis pocket and drew out a roll of bills and smiled as Jie handed them to Dick , "It's funny bow wild the cranks can got ; they went crazy today. Some ono parsed around the hat. So Just go and square yourself , and remember the next time that you get Into a hole your big brother won't bat you out of It. " VI-JST I'IKJKKT XTHAM I3 > GIM3.

Tbo smallest steam engine In the world was made by an American boy when be wes 1C years old and Is exhibited at tbe Nash ville exhibition. It could easily be carried , and with room to spare , in an ordinary vent pocket , and It weighs ICES than half an OUDCO. Yet , notwithstendlng Its rnlcrcocoplo di mensions , It Is a perfect machine , and when the few drop of water Its tiny silver boiler will hold are converted Into steam the engine will run at the rate of 3,030 revolutions per minute , In type It la a high prescuro beam engine and Is crnatruvted principally of gold i and silver. All to.d there are over 150 pieces ' In ita make-up , some of them so small as I to be almost invisible without tbe aid ot a magnifying glass. The diameter of the cylinder Is oae-slxtcenth of en Inch ; diameter of flywheel , five-eighths of an Inch. The boiler Is made of silver In five distinct plates , or sheets. There arc no rivets In either the boiler or any other parts of tbe engine. The separate parts are all held together by screws. Nothing about the entire construc tion of this curious piece of mechanism Is more remarkable than those screws. They are perfect to form and detail and hold the . separate parts of the machine together as though they were riveted , and yet each of these screws Is so small It can only bo picked up by the a I'd of a magnifying glass and a sharp pointed pair of pincers. The genius who built this mechanical marvel is the In ventor of serious mechanical appliances as well as a constructor of mechanical curios. Besides his flny steam engine , he entered at the Nashville Centennial exhibition , a num ber of machines used In brick making. Cyrus Chambers Is his name. He was a boy only 16 years of ago when , be began It , and Its construction occupied several months. Daraum offered him at one time ? 1,000 for the toy , hut ho would not ; part with It. Whllo being driven at full speed it might easily he worn , as a watch charm. Mr. Chambers , who made the engine. Is now a member of the firm of Chambers Bros. & Co. of Philadelphia , and ho person ally carried the motor to the Nashville ex hibition. Ho had no freight bills to pay end no packing expenses to provide for. All he had to do with bis steam cnglnif waste to drop It Into Ills trousers pocket , where It Jingled around with bis keys and loose change during the entire Journey. Mr. Chambers has produced a number of Interesting and valuable Inventions during the course of his life , but there are none of his productions which ho thinks quite so much of as this diminutive achievement of his boyhood. Ho has-como to regard the llttlo toy with something akin to genuine affection , and probably it would now take a much larger sum ot money than TJarnum offered him years ago , when ho was not so prosperous as ho Is at the present day , to coax It away from him.

Lord Cochrane was ono of the greatest naval commanders England over had , and In 1817 ho helped to free Chill from that same Spanish yoke against which the Cubans are now fighting. While he was serving Chill as the commander-ln-chlof of her navy , he fought an engagement with bis 5-year-old son by his side. This extraordinary incident was the result of the child's Indomitable will and his father's secret sympathy with his de sires. Lady Cochrano had como from San tiago to Valparaiso to see her husband off to the war. 'She bade him good-by on board his ship , and went'ashore ; as she was looking out of the window of her house and listening to the gun that was summoning all hands on board for tbe last time , she saw her lltllo son In the arms of the first lieutenant , wav- Inr tils cap and shouting "Viva la Patrla" as ho was carried to the beach. Th - Sea Lion's tab had Insisted on going with his father , and before his frantic mother could reach him ho was in the boat and under way to the flagship. Lord Cochrano could not dilay the fleet to s-nd him back. It seems probable ho waa glad to got him , for. If the first lieuten ant had not had a pretty good notion of his mastcr'a desires , how would ho have dared bring the boy aboard ? Ths youngster was without other clothes than those he had on , and ho was rigged out In suits made of can vas by tbo delighted sallmaker. Before the first engagom'nt Lord Coch- rauco locked his son in the aftercabln , but the kid was not his son for nothing. Ho wormed blnuel ! through the quater gallery window , Joined his father on deck , and , strange as It may seem , was allowed to stay there , Lord Cochrano had a wcaknesj for that sort of thing himself. He ( tbe baby ) stood tbero In his mlnlatuie midshipman's uniform and handed powdtr tins up and down to the gunners. Presently a shot tore eft the head of the marine next him , and ho was covered with blooJ , but be ru ! ied Instantly to his father , crying. "I am not hurt , papa ; 111- shot did not touch mo. Jack says the ball Is not made that can kill mamma's boy. " After that be was ordered below and car- ried away screaming , but victory ran In the family , so to speak , and ho got on deck again and was at last allowed to stay there till ths last gun was fired. 1MIATTI.E 01 ?
