CHAPTER VIII.
"Whem Johnny Comes Marching
Home''

A summer hotel that boasts thous-
and acres OF forest, more or less, which
serve the purposes of backyard, af-
fords it's guests, even if all it's multitude
of rooms are occupied, at least one spot
for each visitor to regard as his or her
woodland successfully defes landscape
alone, ard it's very immensely raises
financial barrier against trimly-kept
gravel walks. There were plenty
of landscape garden walks in the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the hotel, and some
Of them ambitiously penetrated into
the woods, relapsing from the civiliza-
ton Of beaten gravel into a. primitive
thicket trail, which, however, always
led to some celebrated bit Of pic
turesqueness: a waterfall, or a pulpit
rock outstanding like a tower, or the
fancied resemblance of human face
carved by nature from the cliff, or
view point jutting out over the deep
chasm Of the valley, which usually sup
ported a rustic summer house or pavll-
ion where unknown names were carved
on the woodwork-the last resort of the
undistinguished to achieve Immortality
by means of a jackknife.
Dorothy discovered little Eden of
her own, to which no .discernible covert
way led, for it was not conspicuous
enough to obtain mention in the little
gratis guide, which the hotel furnished
"a pamphlet on coated paper filled with
half-tone engravings, and half -extrava-
giant eulogies of what It proclaimed to
be an earthly paradise, with the rates
by the day or week given on the cover
page to show on what terms this para
disc might be enjoyed.
Dorothy's bower was green, and cool,
and crystal, the ruggedness of the rocks
softened by the wealth of foliage. A
very limpid spring, high up and out of
sight among the leaves, sent its waters
tinkling down the face of the cliff, ever
filing crystal-clear lakelet at the foot,
which yet was never full. Velvety
and beautiful as was the moss sur
rounding this pond, it was nevertheless
too damp to form an acceptable couch
for human being, unless that human be-
ing were brave enough to risk the rheu-
matte inconvenience which followed
Rip Van Wrinkles long sleep in these
very regions, so Dorothy always car
ried with her from the hotel feather
weight, spider 's-web hammock, which
she deftly slung between two saplings,
their light suppleness giving an almost
pneumatic effect to this fairy net spread
in fairy glen; and here the young wo-
man swayed luxuriously in the relaxing
delights of an Incidence still too new to
have become commonplace or Weari-
some.
She always expected to read great
deal in the hammock, but often the
book slipped unnoticed to the moss, and
she lay looking upward at the little

The man who discovered the spit
ball seldom uses it and the credit
of the discovery has wrongfully
gone to another. Ask the average
baseball player who discovered the
spit ball and he will tell you that
Elmer Stricklett was the man.
When the Brooklyn baseball team
was quartered at the Hotel Column
bia in Columbia, S. c., last spring
for their ante-season training
Stricklett was asked by a sporting
writer who had made the rounds
of all the training camps in the
sunny southland:
How did you come to discover
the spit ball, Mr.. Strlcklett?"
by watching another man, throw

"But you are given the credit

to say:

Gently when President Frank Dor

Dorsey may make a philanthro-

Hutchinson: but 1t Is not conclusive
to good discipline. II Is wholly
within the province Of the club
management to refuse to pay a
player who Is kept out of games by

should be enforced in the case of
Martinke, for when player so dis
