COULD NOT BREAK AWAY.
Fascinations of Baseball Shown by
New York Incident.


Baseball has charm all its own
Last Saturday at noon promoter
started down Wall street to take
steamer for British Guiana. With him
was an Englishman who had never
seen a ball game, having lived all MS
life on his estate bordering the Esse-
uuibo river. The promoter was gong
down to buy from him for syndicate
a vast tract of forest land.
A pack of youngsters from water
street, chased by a policeman from
their native heath, began to play base
hall on narrow Hanover street, just
when the promoter and his friend
sbould have been increasing their
mace. So they stopped along with
hundreds of others, from bankers 10
push cart men.
The field was a narrow one; the
eieht.year-old batter faced the City
bank; right field was blocked py
Brown Brothers, and left field by tie
custom House. The catcher's back
stop was the United States Lioyds
building.
The play was scientific. The Eng
lishman was an apt student ana
Joined in the roar as three-bagger
into an iron shutter of the Custom
House cleared the bases. Then foi-
loved a home run into an apple cart,
on Wall street; those who chose to-
celebrate the play by picking up APP
ples and eating them did so.
The promoter finally dragged the
Rritisher away. They missed their
steamer at that, and it took lot or
persuasion plus yellow note to get
n busy tug boat captain to give chase
of Bay Ridge they boarded their
liner-talking baseball.-New foriS

he is at the mill"
without coming home, Tony
Young Osborn bit his lipS and
thought deeply, but each moment grew
more bewildered.
Ibid you speak to him?" asked Mrs.
Hamilton.
Eyes, and he spoke to me. Ball.-
ing hours are over at four, you know,
and it was just after dark that saw
him going into the bank as ! was
passing. 'Hullo!' ! said. 1t wasrthe

he said, and laughed little. Didn't

No said, 4 didn't Then he wert

1T certainly was. 1t was his voice

"Tony," said Mrs. Hamilton, in q

have been deceived. 1t must have
been burglar"
ooh, no, there isn't the least doubt
in the world that it was Mr.. Hamilton;
none at all"
was everything right this morn
ing?'
"Yes."
Nothing missing?"
mo, nothing at all. All that sur
prises me is that he isn't here
"He would certainly have been If he
had come home. That makes me
think you have been deceived"
For answer Tony took from his vest
pocket small shirt-stud of unique
design and handed 1t to- Mrs. Hamil-
ton.
81 found it on the desk just as 1t
would have fallen if it had become
loosened from his shirt front"
ooh, Tony! What does it mean?'
cried Mrs. Hamilton, with white lips.
what can it mean? 1t is his. gave
him the set myself. and had them

"and | was sure it was his. Now,
how did it happen to be on his desk

last night?"
perhaps it was laid there, unno-

Impossible. l have busted and

Tonys habits of order were incon-
trovertible. Cannot you recollect
whether he spoke of missing one be-
fore he went away, Mrs. Hamilton
mo, he said nothing about missing
one"
"Then you will find that am right"
said Tony. "Mr. Hamilton was at the
bank last night at about eight O'Clock.
He must have been detained some
where. and WILL no doubt be here
shortly. You may expect to see him
coming I'D the street at any moment,
he concluded. reassuringly, for he saw
that she was terribly shaken.
81 hope you are right, but | have
felt worried ever since he went away
"Oh, he's all right, sound as
trump. wouldn't worry, If were
you," and Tony went down the stairs,
but paused to ask, Shall ! go around
to the mill and ask Mr.. Carter II he
has seen anything of him?"
Eyes, please do, and ask Uncle Car
ter to come up to see me, If Vane isn't
there"
"All right" and he turned away. Il
wish everything were all right, but
I'm afraid it isn't he muttered.
