WHEN HE CAME UP l GRINNED AT HIM. the crack nine of Kingston. Ont. had come over to American soil to try con- clusions with us in our own pet sport upon the nations holiday.
 It appeared that Kenny had broken nose, but this. in his friends opinion, was not the worst of it. <. g
 "lm afraid there's anaintury to the brain," said Stoddard, drawing me aside and speaking anxiously. He hasn't spoken word since it hap pened and doesn't seem to understand what I say to him."
 He's dazed: that's all,"-I replied. His brain is all right. And I'll repair his nose. So his friends need not wor- ry."
 Stoddard laughed nervously.
 AS to his friends he said, "I'll tell you that my father is. one, of- them, He's taken great fancy to Jack, has given him good job and thoroughly believes in him. If you know the gov prnor you'll understand that that's about all any fellow needs. The rest Is with himself
 I was amazed at kenny's good for tune and viewed him with a new in- terest when we returned to the office. He had not moved since he first drop ped into the chair that had placed for him. He still stared as if he saw a ghost and when began to repair his damaged nose he bore the pain with in credible indifference. But when my task was done and Stoddard had gone home to change his clothes I remarked a change in my patients manner. He became restless and from time to time uttered half suppressed groans.
 Are you in pain?" l asked at last. He shook his head.
 Now, it was not in reason that so hardy fellow should he so deeply af- fected by mere physical injury. Ob- viously there must he another explana- ton. and suddenly it occurred to me to ask. Did you lose the gamer"
 Kenny sat up and stared at me. He seemed about 10 speak, but changed his mind and lay down again. There was a silence, and then, while I was framing another question. he surprised me by burst of confidence.
 Doctor" said be. I'm going to tell you all ahcut it
 "Somethiug on your mind?' said I.
 You'll think I'm batty." said he at last. What do want to tell you for! !! Well. I'd like to tell the whole crowd that's the way feel about it. I'd do it. too. only
