You remember, gentle Louie, how close the games in all leagues were last season? How the majority of all league games were won by a single score? How little hitting and running was pulled off? How tiring it finally got when the batters could not find the curves of the pitchers? In fact, you remember that the pitchers in the Southern and in the majority of other leagues outelassed the hitters?
 Well, you may rest assured that if the pitchers are even further protected and groomed, the game will become entirely devoid of hitting. A safe hit will be as seldom seen as the wisdom tooth of hen. If the pitcher has control, there will be an hundred Wilhelm games" pitched next season. There will be no need of fast in- fielders, or outfielders who never let the sun get in their peppers. The pitcher will be the entire show, and the art of base running. hitting, throwing, sliding and "squeezing" will be all discarded. The game will be changed entirely. Through several reasons, if the burden of the twirl- CT is continually lessened, it is not Utopian to think of a man so splenddly developed in the art of pitching that his pellets can not be seen by a catcher, much less a hit ter, and that his curves will become so spectacular that every man In the infield will have to bend his head when the sphere leaves the winglet
 However, it is probable that no such change will be ordered this year at least, and this habit of crossing bridges before they loom up is often bad.
 But, Louie, have you noticed that At lanta has already won the pennant of 1907? We'll then, old boy, you have been mapping. Billy Smith has gathered to- gether the most phenomenal bunch of slushers who ever enrolled beneath the golden sun of Dixie. Yes. Atlanta has stepped forward boldly and claimed the rag. Lay down your arms, Birmingham and all the rest of you,' cries Atlanta "cannot you see that the rag Is mine?"
 In fact, this year is no exception, and Atlanta has won another preseason pen nant. They are energetic over in the Claim-all burg. Billy Smith, the manager with a bullet heart; Chief Joyner, fireman statesman and sporadic fan, and Secretary Ethridge are piling off to New York this

Unrest.

Ever an old unworded longing comes to me,
Comes in the scent OF gardens / have
never seen,
In plaintive sounds of a far-distant. un-
sailed sea.
In the Imagined hush Of forests darby
green.
Ever an old unmastered longing sweeps
my heart,
Beats wildly on the level, ~changeless
shores of life,
Fun with the murmdrs of dead love, dead
song, dead art,
Stirring my eager soul to some transcend
ent strife.
Ever an old unfathoned longing blinds my
eyes
with half-remembered visions-ftful,
nameless tears;
HAPPY tits promise of a dreamer's Paradise,
HAPPY the shadow of the sorrows of lost
years.
AT nightfall, or at morning, or at hurried
noon,
1t comes, and bears me from my task on
restless wings.
O Brothers of Unrest, say is it curse, or
boon,
So whispers to an alien soul of alien
things?

A Poor Likeness.

An artist who had painted a portrait
of q gentleman who was fond of good
living, summoned one of the household
servants of his subject to see the pic
ture before 1t was sent home. The can.
vas was displayed on an easel, and the
servant came to view Ii. For long
time he gaZed upon it with evident ad-
miratlon, but at last found words to ex.
press his approval. There's no doubt
that the portrait represents my mas.
ter" he said. As he approached closer
TO The counterfeit preSentment to get a
better view, the painter shouted, Take
care-he's not dry The man turned
with comical look on his face, and
shaking his head, said "Ah, then. I've
made mistake, and you've made n
mistake! 1t can't be my master-he Il
always day."

worked so cosnpietely upon Miss March

very unhappy, but I am making it my
business to prevent him coming into con-
tact with her again, for so strong is the
resemblance between this man and my
dead kinsman that should not be aston
ished If this proud girl should be led to
commit any folly at this mans instiga-
ton"
He turned as he said these words and
walked swiftly away from her, and Lady
Betty turned to so away from this place,
about which she had woven so many
dreams in the past, and as she went she
met the same footinan advancing across
the grass, and following him closely an
other man, big, burly, country looking
man, whom vaguely Lady Betty remem-
bered to have noticed somewhere before.
As the servant spoke to her she realized
where it was that she had seen this man.
He had been walking with Antonia that
by-gone morning, he was the friend Of
whom Antonia had spoken to her, the
man who had come back to England with
Hubert Tenby.
Gould you not find Sir Gerald, my
lady% the footman asked, respectfully.
Betty Marchmont hardly knew what
she answered. All at once she felt fright
ened. She turned ashen white and trem-

that was clearly visible on the servants
fact, she almost ran in her haste 70 leave

the velvet lawn. The man had attempted
to deny him entrance, but Ben had refus-
ed to be denied
Take me to your master, man. he
had said; Il come with a message that
will not be put aside for any man."
Ben had his hat in his hand and for
a moment he did not speak; he only stood
and looked upon the man who had blight
ed Hubert's life, had driven him from his
home, divided him from his father from
honor and from love.
II am speaking to Gerald Tenby?" he
asked.
Il am Gerald Tenby, at your service"
''The service / ask OF you, Gerald Ten
by he answered, ''is no light one; may
be you'll understand that clear enough. /
want you to give me back your kinsman,
Hubert Tenby."
Gerald stretched out his hands with
gesture of despair. ..
You ask me what cannot fulfill. !
do not know where Hubert Tenby is.
But" the man looked suddenly into Ben's
face, IL pray that he may be happier,
wherever he is, than l am at this mo-
ment."
"Come, man ~ said Ben Coop, "be hon
est for once try and atone by telling the
truth"
Gerald paced to and fro in and out OF
the sunlight and the shadows. Suddenly
he began to speak. 1t was like the voice
Of a man in a dream.
II struck him." he said, "and he fell to
tha ha
dead, he lay so. still, but Stanton, who
knows a little of everything, soon assured
me that though he did not move he was
not dead. We carried him into another
rom that was not occupied. Perhaps if
you have been questioning my servant"
said Gerald, in that even, dull voice, "he
will have told you that a sleeve-link fell
from Hubert's wrist as we carried him
along. Ii was necessary to have the road
cleared, so ! suddenly discharged Ste
phens, the valet whom / had had for some
time, and Stanton and / remained alone
together, until he left me to 60 to the
old house which, it seems, belongs to him,
somewhere in the north of London, where
he resolved that Hubert should be taken
at nightfall. 1t was a difficult matter to

and Hubert still remained unconscious,
but Stanton is a man of resource. He
found large packing case in my rooms,
and we put Hubert into this, drilling holes
in the cover so that the air might reach
him. Again it was Stanton who found
man with cart to take this strange pack
age up to that lonely, small house. He
went on ahead to receive this man, and
remained alone"
Ben's breath was coming quickly, his
heart beat like a sledge hammer in his
breast.
Go on" he said, as the other man
paused.

Every mother possesses Information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they so often withhold
and conceal the symptoms which ought
TO be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or a dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid, and remember that Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound will at
this time prepare the system for the
coming change, and start this trying
period in a young girls life without
pain or Irregularities.
