ARBITRATION GROWING in FAVOR

London, Jan. 10.-The movement in
favor of arbitrating the Venezuelan
question with the United States is
growing day by day. The Westminster
Gazette, after having interviewed
statesmen of all parties, bankers and
others, says this afternoons:
Everywhere there were enthusiastic
expressions in favor of the proposal to

From diplomats who had recent in

decided change of sentiment there. The

throwing q kiss to them in the most
courtly style known to the chivalry of
the South Cove. Happily his gesture
had been mistaken for private signal
to the catcher, and the incident had es-
capped remark.
In this case, however, the provoca
tion was more pressing and immediate.
The girls surrounded Paddy, and
gazed upon him as if he had been an
inspired prophet. Contrary to all the
traditions of their sex, they remained
silent, waiting for him to say some
thing that could afterwards be re-
membered. But Harry Bangs had
wronged Paddy in thinking that the
gifted youth would be false to the oath
which bound him to yes and no. He
remembered it even in that moment of
temptation. A less gifted person than
Paddy might have found it difficult to
open conversation with either of the
words which he was permitted to use.
But the problem was very simple to
Paddy. Having no ideas to express he
had little need of language. His
beaming countenance showed sufficient
ly well the delight he felt in the pres
ence of these lovely young creatures.
He surveyed them for some seconds in
silence, and then said "Yes," in
most charming manner and with
slightly rising infection. The use of
this word IN an interrogative sense
was habit with Lawrence, and Paddy
who had more initiative faculty than
cage full of monkeys, had caught it ex-
actly.
That word and the smile of benign
condescension which accompanied it
were all that the girls required. From
that instant the conversation was
theirs. They showered upon Paddy the
expressions of their admiration; they
loaded him with questions regarding
the technical points of the game; they
made him the umpire of their lit
tie disputes about the various points
of play. And Paddy with admirable
politeness replied yes or no, as the oc-

he said at last, 'that it is possible to
be inferior to such creature, will
ask you in what respect you think me
to be deficient"
"Why, you're out of condition. You
look overturned. You're ten pounds
under weight, and it shows in your face.

II fear" said Lawrence, thoughtful
ly, ''that there is some truth in what
you say. The difference in our ways of
life has done much to decrease that un-
fortunate resemblance which"
''Unfortunate, echoed his brother.
"It was the greatest piece of luck that
ever happened to Yale. What do you
think of the Harvard game?"
Il am trying not to think of it at
ALL" sighed Lawrence.
"Well, tell you it's worth thinking
about. The Harvard team was made
mp of nine sluggers from Slugtown,
and if anybody but Paddy had been in
the box they'd have batted the ball all
over the state of Connecticut. You
ought to be proud of that game, Larry.
1t was big thing for Yale, and it
couldn't have been done without you.
Now, we can't take any risks. At any
cost of money or comfort we must pre-
serve your resemblance to Paddy. I've
thought that all out, and I'll tell you
what you must do"
He proceeded to outline his plan. In
the first place Lawrence was to study in
future on the roof of the house during
the day time.
''I've found a nice hot corner up there
for you," said Harry. '"You'l have a
southern exposure and a chimney be-
hind you that Gets pretty warm, l be-
lieve, in the middle of the day'when the
suns on it. Nobody can see you up
there and you can lay on all the color
you need"
Lawrence groaned.
''Then you must take lot of exer-
cise," continued Harry. "Paddy is fill
ing out good deal, and you'll have to
keep up with him."

That hurt little, but Lawrence

him.

"Well, the mon is as good as your

stretching out his right hand perfectly

And then came the first Harvard
game. Oh, 1t was Q slaughter! Three
hits and one of these a scratch. Only
one red-legged man on third base in
the whole game and he died there.
Fifteen men struck out, and Paddy
brought in the first two runs for Yale
with three Dagger in right field In
the third inning, and scored himself a.
few seconds later amid cheers that rent
the sky.
Lawrence, absorbed in study, sat In
his room. The time passed more quick
ly than he knew. Suddenly he heard
sound as if pandemonium had slipped
its cable and was drifting down on
him. He peered out between the
blinds. The street was filling with
people. A street band which had been
picked up by the way came marching
along, its seven members playing
every one his own tune in the lsy that
suited him best,
And behind the band came Paddy,
borne upon the shoulders of yelling
mob of enthusiasts. He escaped from
them some way, and ran into the
house.

I'm dead tired now. Go out and take
your turn at it,"
So Lawrence went to the door after
sufficient interval, and stood on the
steps moment, looking out over the
great crowd on the street.
"Now, all togetAerl" yelled some
one; "a triple round for Larry Bangs!"
The cheers ratified the windows.
Then a score of students swept down
on Lawrence and carried him away.
He was like man in dream. The
illusion overpowered him. He tasted
the sweet SAVIOR of popularity, and for
got that it was not really his. He
waved his hat to the crowd with the
air of conqaeror. and all the fellows
