 As the man insisted that his visit boy finally decided to risk presenting the card
 He disappeared within, returning after some time with the information that if the visitor could state his business briefly and with expedition, the real estate man would be pleased to admit him to a personal interview.
 Prepared to follow the instructions given, the visitor obeyed with alacrity the invitation to enter
 Looking the part of real busy per son and seated at desk piled high with papers, was the real estate man.
 The visitor and he were slightly ac- quainted, and he merely ejaculated the economical greeting, "Howy're?" poising himself meanwhile in fash ion that bespoke impatience of the least delay. Taking the cue, his wis itor at once plunged into the subject of his coming.
 'I have block of three-fiat houses over on - street l want you to handle for me-" he said.

The way that little chap can place the ball is artis- tic work. How he can hold that bat so short and get away with so many safe bingles is mystery to me He just taps the ball and bng-out it goes to some place where none of the infield or outfield can get it."
 The real estate man paused for breath and the other took advantage of the fact to say, hurriedly, "Tll want $25 for the middle fiat in num- c ti heated in wint-"
 'The last time 1 saw him play" calmly proceeded the real estate man, he came up to bat in the eighth with two out and two on base, one on sec ond and one on third, one run to win. All the infield were playing close in. He got one strike and three balls called on him and never Judged the bat an inch even. It looked like a base on balls for him, but what'd the little fox do-"
