young lady of the town whose team he served. His rival was bank clerk. Gecent sort of chap, and as often n as affections to make him happy forever- more ny saying just one little word, the clerk would put in a similar sup plicatioD. But the girl could not choose between them. and the more they pressed to hear their fate the more undecided she beceme.
 Now this young lasiy. although she istcr, was an enthusiastic baseball fan and never missed q game when she could help 1t. She was so skilled in the ways of baseball that she even knew the hieroglyphics of scoring and could give any man points on keeping score card running. Therefore, 1t came around for the champion sair se- ries in which Smiths team was coIn- peting she was all aglow with excite- ment. And when it came to the two Smith was to pitch her ardor was so great that she told him then and there she would marry him if he won the games.
 We'll. to make long story short. Smith fairly outdid himself in the first game, and, though the other side put team ky score of t3 ?. But. sad to relate, the following afternoon, when 1t came time for his team to take the last turn at the bat in the ninth in ming the score was in the other sides favor. standing to 1. As Smiths mates took their places chances of getting that girl grew slim mer. Finally, when it came his turn to go to the bat this was the situation: :: Two men out. man on first and to Smith.
 Smith was fair hitter fer pitcher average ,2!0-and he took hold of the stick with a confident air.
 The star pitcher of the opposing team let fly the sphere.
 ''Strike!" yelled the umpire. Once more the ball curved smiths way and dropped gracefully as 1t reached the plate.
 Strike two!" yelled the umpire.
 aBail ene! @ % sang R out st the iUH umpire r " and twice thereafter his refrain was t.se crack! and a line ball went sailing out in the direction of the center fielder and not until Smith had smilingly crossed the home plate did nc learn sphere in his left hand after a heart breaking sprint after 1t up steep embankment.
 In the meantime a little tragedy had taken place in the grand stand. No sooner had 1t suddenly dawned on the thousands of spectators that their team vivacious young lady. who had been a close observer of the game from the start. toppled over in her seat in a dead dead faint, and certain young man. bank clerk. rushed gallantly U her as- sistance.
 For two weeks thereafter this young lady was in a quandary. At last soe sought out her father and told him the story. When she had finished the good man said:
 Choose the one you love, daughter"
 Then it's Jack!' she cried; and that night she said for once and for all the one little word that has made him hap py ever since.
 A year after they were married the bank clerk heard how Smith had won his bride. His only comment was. as he set his jaws:
