Mc Graw lias signed a five-year contract to manage the Giants at a yearly salary said to be $05,000, a total of $323,000 for his duties during the term of agreement made with Presi dent Charles A. Stoneham. This is the' highest salary ever paid a play er or manager.

Twenty years later finds him earning 13 times as much, beside be ing the third biggest stockholder in the Giants. Stoneham holds the con trolling shares in the club, with Lloyd Ashley the nct biggest owner. When, back in 1912. it was an nounced that the owners of the J. Giants had signed McGraw for a sal ary calling for $18,000, the baseball world was startled. In 1913 Harry Hemostead boosted -the salary to $30,000. and baseball folks gasped. It was predicted that would be the top salary for all time in the national game. But. in 1917 McGraw demanded more money and Hempstead finallv boosted the figure to $50,000. That -contract terminated the first of this year. McGraw, who was born at Trux ton, N. Y..

I suppose he think be lias a right to order me about more or less." . "What do you mean by that?" be insisted. "I know Peter Nothard. He is a young man a successful man, but ' He broke off to ask again impatiently: "What has he to do with you;" Ninette shrugged her shoulders. "I may as well tell you," she said at last. "He took me into his bouse when Josh died. I was very ill and I bad no money, and Mr. Nothard paid everything for me, and then--w hrn I was betier he sent me dowrf to his sister." She gave a quick sigh. "I owe everything to him. I sup pose." she admitted reluctantly, "that j why I am so anxious to find srtme work and make some money and pay him back." And who was Josh c Cavanagh asked. Her eyes clouded with tears. "He was the best and dearest man in the world." she said, her voice broken with emotion, "He paid for me ight from the time I was born, even though he was so poor be had hardly enough for himself. If it had not been for him I should have gone to the workhouse, because there was nobody rise who would take me. I lived with Josh till I was 18 and then he got ill, and and we hadn't got the money to give him all the food and things he ought to have bad. so so lie-dicd." l here was a tragic silence. Ninette kept her eyes lowered to hide the tears in them, but one overflowed and splashed down onto her black frock. ' . ! "And then." CavanaKh prompted. after a .moment. "Then this man j Nothard took you in? How did you know him?" ; ; . She answered at once. . .'. "He owns the paper Joah used to write for, and I went to see him, and and " She stopped. 'And fie saw vou had a orettv face, 1 I suppose," Cavanagh said harshly, and so he acted the phil anthropist, or chose to call it by that name." ' .' Ninette did not answer for a mo ment, then she raised her tearful eyes. . , . , No, it wasn t that at all. she said deliberately, a harsh note of memo ry in her voice. "He didn t like me bit. She laughed shakily. He doesn't like me now, I know he wishes me at the bottom of the sea but, well, in a way, I forced myself upon him. You sec" she hesi tated, then added slowly: "I broke, into his house the night Josh .died. I was desperate." We had no money and I--I should have taken his watch' and sold it, only only he caught me and then " " "You broke into his house?" "Yes," her cheeks flamed. "Are you shocked? I can't help it if .you arc. I'd do the same thing again if the chance came and it was for Josh. I'd do worse! I wish I had done it before. He might have been alive now if I had." CHAPTER XXI "So You Like Me Just a Little." There was a long silence, then Cavanagh said gently:' "You are not eating anything." Ninette went on with her neg lected lunch, but with her first keen pleasure and excitement had gone. Thoughts of Josh and his lonely death had come back with all its poignant grief and aroused fresh her almost morbid resentment against Northard. If he had helped them Josh would GIVE A BABY Constipation, biliousness and like annoying ill will quickly disappear A MOTHER is always anxious to give the safest and best medicine to a constipated baby, but is puzzled which to select. Let her decide by the ingredi ents on the package. Every bottleof Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has the formula printed plainly on the outside of the carton under the portrait of Dr. Caldwell, who wrote the firescription in 1892. You will ind that it is a combination of Egyptian Senna and other simple laxative herbs with pep sin. It will not gripe the baby, and it is free From narcotics.

He said how shy she was; she would never make friends and nobody ever came to see her. And when she was dead all they ever found was a book of poems with the name .Ninette written on the tiy leaf. That's why they called me Ni nette." She looked up at him with uncon scious pride. "Josh had said that my mother was a lady." she added. Cavanagh did not answer; lie was twisting the stem of his wyie glass with nervous finaers. and presently he said irrelevantly, it seemed: "And so you want to earn your own living?" "Yes." "How!" She hesitated. "I used to think I should tike to po on the stage," she sa'd at last. "But perhaps I shouldn't be any good." "All women thins: they are cut out for the stage." he answered rather shortly. "And it is not the sort of life for you. I knew a 'woman oncC who might have had every happiness life has to give, and threw them all over for what she chose to call her ambition the stage!" She was.n t good then; "She was pretty. But it seems to me that nowadays people ask more than just a pretty face." He smiled into her earnest eyes. "No, we must find you something better, Ninette." There was a little silence. "You know Peter Nothard, don't you?" Ninette asked suddenly. "Yes slightly. I should say, I rather fancy," he smiled with a sort of amusement: "I rather fancy he dislikes me.',' , "He does," Ninette answered un thinkingly. "He said" then she broke off in crimson confusion, re membering how Peter Nothard had told her that Cavanagh was an old blackguard. He was looking at her now and smiling still. "Well,, what did he say?'" asked, indulgently, but Ninette wtmld not tell him. "It doesn't matter at all." she de clared. "Anyway, I am not likely to believe anything "he says; any thing like that, at least." He leaned a little nearer to her across the table. "That sounds kind," he said, a softened note in his voice. "Does it mean, perhaps, that you like me, just a little?" . . Ninette's heart beats quickened; she looked into his thin, sallow face and deep sunk eyes, an a vague feeling of disquietude touched her heart. l. : .. 1 . . " "I like you; I like you very much." she-said slowly; she-felt as if the words were being drawn from her against her will. ...... .' A touch of dull color burned in his face, and he laid his hand over hers for a moment. "You have made me happier by saying that than I had .ever hoped to be again," he said quietly. , ; He . avoided, the personal note aft erward and kept the' conversation to general subjects, but before they parted he had asked her to have dinner and go to a theater with him one night when he returned from Paris, and she had promised. "If MargarcT- doesn't mind that is," she added quickly, . and Cava nagh smiled as he answered gravely SYRUP PEPSIN child.
