Inc any one willingly taking an infe-
rior place in anything"
Matilde flushed. 1t was perhaps
new point of view to her. She turned
and looked at this newcomer.
Anne bore the scrutiny we'll; she was
pretty.
The two girls happened to be near
each otner when they were going IN
fiom recess. Il have the problems
solved here if you care to look at
them" said Anne. Its mere detail
to work them out, any way, when
you've got the principle"
"Why, thank you'll should like to,
said Matilde. 81 really meant to do
them, but went to dance, and-well
lust didn't" Matilde, flushed and
grateful, was more charming than
ever.
She was clever, too. She studied
the paper up the stairs and into the
schoolroom and through the roll CALL
When her time came, she rose with
smiling readiness and made a clever
recitation of her gleanings. Going
out at dismissal, she slipped an arm
through Anne's.
The next day she asked Anne to
drive with her in her fathers car
riage. She also asked and received
permission to take Anne home to dine.
Matilde's sister apeared in a bewll'
dering gown of trailing gauzlness'
With a preoccupied goodby, she bade
them be "good children" and left IN
the carriage for some more festive
dining elsewhere.
Matilde's father was silent and dark
and hardly glanced at his daughters
guest. Afterward Anne told Matllde
that he looked sad.
"Sad," the girl replied. who

It was a servants meal, just as i

Afterward Anne gazed at the book
in the library, although she was use'
to books. Then, as if reminded, sh
asked "Our themes for tomorrow
have you written yours?"
Matilie made little mouth

GIVES IL iu DOCTOR Gray to tell-if for
nothing else. 1 owe it to him-1f she
doesn't speak, mother"
why, you, dear, will net. Don't
you see? BE honest to yourself, my
child. Your punishment is silence. IN
confession now, Anne, lies only self
interest"
Matilde had laughed Historically,
uncontrollably. She had seized Anne
after school, in the cloak room, ana
could only speak in snatches for laugh
ter. 'ITs-the funniest-sltuation l
ever dreamed of, Anne. If only we
could tell 1.-THE joke-to the others!
I-the despair of the faculty-l-l
don't want it. It's honors thrust upon
me. I'll be buying me cap and
gown some day, Anne"
There was no comprehension OF the
bitterness to Anne. But then Anne
had to remember that she had made
light of these very things with Ma
tilde. How, then, could Matilde know!
AS for the falseness of the situation
that, to Matilde, was plainly the fun
niest thing OF. all.
But by Monday Matilde had changed
She looked across the schoolroom sew
eral times wistfully toward Anne. A
recess she drew her aside, and tolt
her that Doctor Gray had met he
father on Friday, and had informe'
! him about the scholarship before Ma
tide reached home.
"And-and-you won't believe wha
it meant to father, Anne"
Matilde's eyes left Anne's in embal
rassment; she was one to hide emo
tions ard deeper feelings.
"He-papa-he kissed me on tn
forehead-twice. Papa-think Of it!
Was Maltide pretending to laug
through tears?
"He-he said he had been mistake
about me; it had been his unhapp

There was no concealing it. M

1T is to speak word of commenda-

work this year. You have earned
more than the Groly scholarship; you
are earning the respect and admiration
of the faculty"
Matilde held Annes arm tight as
they went out. 1t was grip that
hurt. She had forgotten even Anne,
and was looking inward. She drew
breath suddenly.
'Earned,' he said, Anne
'earned!'"
And Anne knew, all at once, that
Matilde saw.
"oh, no, don't!" said Anne, for Ma
tide had turned back to the office.
THAT is, not-not for me; l couldn't
bear it, Matilde."

she was prouder of that which she

But the dance intervened.
A month later Joctor Gray an.
nounced to the school that on these
themes the faculty had based their
choice for the Groly scholarship in
English.
The assembled class gave breathless
attention; the announcement came as
d surprise. Anne flushed, and was
conscious that more than one girl
glanced her way.
Doctor Gray continued: "And in
making the choice known, would say
that it is not only on the merits of the
actual theme in hand, which is marked
by clearness, simplicity and a rarer
quallty-humor-but because of her
fine showing in English as compared
with earlier work of the year that the

AS ut was Friday, Anne went home.
Home meant a low, broad house in a

meant father working early and late

cause more trouble and for various
reasons When TRULY failed to get
out of the game as ordered by Umpire
Wilson and the time limit had expired,
the game was declared forfeited to
Waterbury by the regular score of 9
to D. The last part of the game was
an exhibition game so the umpire de-
cided and so he told the managers of
both teams. Now it develops that
Manager Reisling asked after the
game was over that the game be not
declared forfeited and in Difference to
his wishes the umpire said nothing
about forfeited game to the secretary
of the league but simply reported that
he had fined TRULY So and put him
out of the game. The game should
stand forfeited as it was ordered in the
first place in order to avoid further
dispute.
The statement sent out from New
Haven, emanating from that reliable
source on the New Haven Register,
that Umpire BEST resigned and that the
reason why he resigned was because
Secretary O'Rourke had threatened
him, is utterly unwarranted; in fact,
Dest was dropped to make room for
McCue, who was strongly recommend
ed by the Hartford management and
the Hartford papers. The New Haven
Leader, apparently prompted by the
same source, prints a story about
Dest's visit to Manager O'Rourke's
Office on Monday There. is no more
truth in that yarn than the other. Dest
never passed single word with any
body else while there. He had been
dismissed before he arrived and he
called on Secretary O'Rourke to get his
pay There is not the slightest objec-
ton in any quarter to fair and honest
criticism, no matter how severe. On
the contrary, it is welcomed. But It
does seem as though the{1ine might be
drawn at willful Misrepresentation. SO
far as the supervisor of umpires is con-
cerned he does not care rap one way
or the other, but it does seem that Sec
rotary O'Rourke, who has worked nard
and Faithfully for this league, as every
decent and fair-minded writer in this
league has admitted over and over
again. as every manager in the league
will admit. might at least be exempt
from the shameful mistatements which
are prompted solely by malice and dis
appointment. = Bridgeport Post.

James Jones, left fielder of the New
York club, was suspended for the bal
ance of the season by Manager Nc

offense of which Jones was guilty was
the objectionable one of striking or at
tempting to strike Umpire Emslie.

ger Stallings just as soon as the check
arrives. Luskey is good catcher
but has. fallen off in his batting in the
past few weeks. He claims that he

play, in this city. and that he will
prove that when he. gets away from
here His record will be watched in
this city.
Manager J. q. Doyle of the city Off
Gals base ball club said yesterday that
he would like to arrange a game with
the team composed of city officials in
Waterbury. There is team in Water
bury and it did not make much of a
showing against Bridgeport. The Hart
ford team is ready to play any team of
city officials in the state. The team
has played nine games this season and
lost one. Three members of the Bridge
port team were unable to come to this
city Tuesday and they will play in the
return game at Bridgeport. Hartford
Courant.
So BEST was dropped to make room
for McCue, was he? Well, of all the
changes in the umpire staff that was
the worst that could have been made.
To drop good umpire for a decidedly
unreliable one is something that needs
a better explanation than has been
given. The story about BEST and Sec
rotary O'Rourke may not have been
true. but it will be difficult to convince
some people that there was not some
thing in it. Again we say that New
London. Norwich, Meriden, Hartford
and Waterbury should get together and
have a little something to say about
the running of this league.

game in Nottingham, Larry Water

day. This time he s'bucked th etiger''

Waterbury got here on Tuesday, and
after attending the races visited
friends. He paid visit to the Nam
haitian club yesterday, bought a stack
of ships and played faro, but with
poor results. He bought another
stack and tried his hand with the rou-
lette wheel. For time he lost, but
his luck changed and in a short time
he had won $4,000. He then eashed
in and went to the races, where, it is
said, his luck chung to him.
Waterbury returned from England
last month and since then has been
dividing his time between Hampstead
and Newport. I. While in England he
was accused by the Earl of Shrews-
bury of not obeying the rules of polo
by wearing spurs. The Earl had
Waterbury's horse taken from him,
but later it was learned that Water
bury had obtained permission to wear
the spurs and the Earl apologized.
