Mike O'Connor, manager Of the
San Antonio baseball team, is ex-
pected in the city in a few days to
lay out his plans for next season.
From what can be learned he is
already in correspondence with a
number of players, and he expects
to have his full team selected this
winter. 1t is not probable that a
meeting will be called for re.organ.

he settles down as a bachelor and becomes

with her brother. AS her nieces and
nephews grow up and receive their first
valentines she becomes jealous, and so

valentine In a new envelOp. much to the
family's surprise and curiosity. She Is
reinstated In their opinion as being still
the object Of some ones attention. She
mails herself the valentine each year for
ten years. when II occurs to her to have

OF Hope. where her old lover lives. and is
inspired by the cOquettish idea of having
1t pass through his hands. She sends it
there by servant and awaits its return.
