He went to the office and managed to get 26 cents more, which he placed within twenty minutes, the surg ing crowd fairly scrambling about the room to get together enough money to cover the sports book. By midnight enough money had been placed on the outcome of the game to encourage the bookies of the outside to cut the odds The flash by the books caused the News crowd to rally, and they were joined by enough fioaters to cause another flash.
 The Third Corner keg.
 Tn the Age-Herald office every one is confident of being able to scratch out victory-providing the men can be made to pass the fateful bag, and it is thought the captain will be able to make them do this, for Chief Mullin has consented to run a line of hose and with the water drive the men away from the keg. The chief has also consented to have a spe- cial force of men at the park to put out the Age-Heralds in every inning when they have made steen runs, for it will be impossible for the News bullies to put them out at all
 Every man has been trained to the limit and each one has been most forcefully impressed with the fact that if the team does not win every member will be beat to the limit. The public is warned that no rain checks will be given after the third inning. If a rooter gets tired, how ever, he may call at the box office and have his money refused him.
 It was impossible to secure but one red-haired woman-all others being Girls with Auburn Hair''-and for this reason the idea of having sponsors has been abolished. The by boxes, which should be called pigeon-holes, will be occupied by the stars from the yellow journals in order that they may fake as much as they usually do.

the room she fell back among the pill

He looked around almost accusingly
upon the two frightened women as if
he had caught them in the act of assassi-
mating their mistress.
Didn't Jimmy tell you?" she mur-
INJURED.
You know Jimmy never tells any
thing. He did say you weren't well.
But have you been very i'll, dear?"
The women had withdrawn, and he
seated himself upon the bed.
Joseph, you might have sent me one
little line,"
"Wh-what? l don't quite compre-
hend. a line?"
"Yes; it wouldn't have hurt you to
write line"

and sometimes twice day"
They stared at each other.
But l never got a solitary letter."
she said, presently. 81 sent to every de-
livery-went myself until became i'll;

However" he muttered, ''they

20 minutes" and the gentleman fairly
ran out of the room.
He laughed all the way downstairs,
and she heard his ha-ha's between his
shouts for Jimmy to bring back the
trap. In few minutes they ratified out
of the grounds, and within the time
he mentioned they ratified back again.
Mr.. Allstree tore breathless up the
stairs, bursting boy-fashion into his
wife's room. He carried package of
letters, which he spread out in circle
on the bed. There were IA of them, and
every one was addressed to Miss Hen
rietta Shower.
For short space nothing was said,
and then the two aged lovers began
to laugh, and they laughed until they
cried.

after the guests had departed her con-
dition was pitiable. Especially as no
letter had come,
Mr.. Allestree had gone away early on
Saturday; now it was Tuesday. She
had managed to be patient over the
Sabbath; but ON Monday morning,when
Jimmy came up from Stoneton empty
handed, she had refused to believe that
he had not dropped the letter or that

tAC W|HHVV,
When he handed out the post to her
and she found not the letter she longed
for, an angry face it was that peercd
in at him, and stern-albeit well-bred
voice that demanded of them to hunt
through every box, lest, perchance, he
had made some error in distributing.
The deserted, neglected wife must
blame somebody, and she would not
blame her husband. She did not at
first even dream of blaming Joseph.
BY the middle of the week her whole
mood changed. She felt hurt, deeply
hurt; there seemed to be no reason
no excuse for such neglect. To think
that this, their first separation in sc
many years, should be unbridged by a
word!
She could not have the consolation OF
writing to him, for he had left no ad-
dress, there being an uncertainty about
the very part of London in which that
troublesome Perley was living.
1t was the way of men, and he, ii
seems, was no better than the rest OF
them. Once out of her sight he forgot
forgot all the love and daily devotion
of AZ years!
BY Saturday morning Mrs. Allestree
was ill-ill enough to go to bed. Jimmy
had to fetch both posts, and after deliv
ering in person the first onc--which
consisted of papers only-he vowed to
Molly that he would not approach Mrs
Allestree again while Mr.. Allestree was
away.
All day Sunday Mrs. Allestree lay ST.
lent in a dark chamber Molly could
not get word from her, nor would she
eat.
1t was almost restful to be so weak
True, she was in despair; she had given
up all expectation of seeing Joseph
again, but, compared with the bewil-
dering tossings of vain conjecture, her
present state was one of quietude and
peace
But by Monday morning she was suf-
fering torments once more. She felt
that if Jimmy returned without either
Joseph or a letter she would surely
die. And indeed, she nearly died as ii
was.
When the wheels sounded again upon
the gravel, Mrs. Allestree sat up in bed
She was whittier than her hair No voices
were heard below: she clutched her
heart and gasped. But presently door
opened, and step came up the stairs
