II was the most exciting episode in
the calm of Miss Thornton's existence.
She stood on the busy north pave
ment of the Strand. 1t was a foggy
afternoon in November. The clocks
had just struck 5. She kept quite
still amid all the hustle of the great
London thoroughfare, her eyes fixed
on a bank on the opposite side of the
road. Sometimes a string of vehicles
or foot passengers INSTRUCTED her view
Of the door which she watched as a cat
watches a houses hole. At such times
she craned her neck In all directions,
80 anxious was h o to lose sight OF
the bank.
1t was evident from the fact that she
stood so far away and did not cross
the road to a spot whence she would
have had q less obstructed view. that
she did not wish to be seen by the per-
son or persons whom she waited to
see.
Sometimes she consulted her small
gold watch by the aid of the light
which emanated from the shop win
dows and the street lamps and made
the fog visible. The person or persons
for whom she was waiting must have
been late.
Presently she darted along the pave
ment toward Charley Cross. A young
man had come out OF the bank door
and gone in that direction. With feline
discretion she tracked him. keeping
ever to her own side of the road. He
turned up by st. Martins church and

Paying Debts in Japan.

Foreigners In Japan find a great oppOr-
tunity TO purchase curioS at the beginning
OF each new year. Everyone IN Japan is
expected to clear up his books and pay his
debts By the last day Of the old year. The
tradesmen send in their y~aIds-more ofteni
miles-of bills to 1.-The honorable lady OF

erty at a sacrifice 10 enable him to meet
the new year with a smiling face. The
only other honorable way out of his diff
fcnlties is for him to commit suicide.

 Manager Chance of the Chicago team said
 My boys were very nervous at the start of the game. The circumstances naturally account for that. But then they braced up. and you know the rest The team is the finest in the history of the sport"
 A display of rowdyism at the very end of the game by a few disgruntled spec tators marred, in measure, what had hitherto been fair treatment of the visit ing players. No attempt was made dur ing the game itself to interfere with the Chicago team, but after the game when the crowd had swarmed on the field d number of roughs attacked Captain Chance, who with his fellow players was making his way to the club house. Sev- eral pop bottles were thrown, and one struck Chance in the neck, inficting what is said to be a slight bruise. The Chicago players left for the west at o'clock to- night

nail against him. The few friends that the Giants possessed were those who dis liked the idea of Chicago having d monopoly on the pennant, and who con- sdered it evil for baseball for one club to win the rag three successive times
 So it happens that there is a majority of the light hearted today. It would have been a bitter dose had McGraw won.
 But there is no doubt but that the dope favored his success.
 Saturday begins the series for the championship of the world.
 It is almost certain that the Cubs will land the trophy unless they enter the conflict over-confident And this is not likely to occur, for the lesson taught by the White Sox is not forgotten
 The betting is even money that Detroit will win two of the six games
 Chicago's pitchers are too stout for the Tigers, although the team of Hughie Jen- nings can sting the ball harder than the Cubs.
 It has been the ambition Of the great leader of the Tigers to cop a worlds pen nant. Last season he had an oppor- tunity and failed. He is banking his all there are thousands upon thousands pull ing for him.
 Inasmuch as the season just concluded has been the greatest in the history of baseball, it is hoped that the champion ship honors will be decided by the result of the seventh game!

CHICAGO CUBS WIN PENNANT
 BY VICTORY OYER THE GIANTS
THE BASEBALL SITUATION
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS.

There was an upsetting of the dope yes terday afternoon.
 Chicago won!
 The Cubs were not stale after their period of rest. On the contrary, their snap. their ginger, their spirit was a reve- lation to the 40.00O fans that sat about the field.
 And, furthermore, the people were peace ful. There was no riot on the historic and bloody Polo grounds. There were few howls directed towards the umpires.
 It was simply the case of the Cubs so conclusively outplaying the Giants that the fans sat awed, hacked and disgusted. There were no close decisions. There is no excuse that the New York. fans can offer. The victory was as clear cut as it was conclusive.
 Brown outpitched the great Mathewson.
 John j. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, is not a good loser.
 His statement after the defeat was in accordance with his nature. T do not feel badly; it was simply case of losing what we had already Woni"
 Nothing better than the above remark was hurt. It would have sounded like is greatest in the moment of defeat, had he uttered the simple, and steretoyped, if you will: "The better team won!'
 Chicago's victory, it is probable, was a popular victory McGraw is obnoxious to every fan in the south, and it is a cer- tainty that this section was tooth and
