hoped you would be out"
II don't care so much about fishing,
she wrote.
"Wouldn't you like sail on the
bay?"
She shook her head.
Il see no hammock here. I have a
up fc- you"
Another shake but she signed her
tbs nka at the same time. :
IL said he'd come and he did come"
observed Aunt Rebecca after the young
man had departed. Here's the card
he left. He lives in town and paints
| pictures. What's the name-Clarence
| Dentou?"
"Oh. he won't come again. I'm going
fishing today. and if see him coming
I'll row away. Perhaps l shall give
him snub."
The snub was administered two
hours later. Miss Jessie had reached
her fishing ground when the artist was
sighted bearing down upon her She
lifted her anchor and rowed straight
away. and the distance was too far for
him to see the smile on her face or for
her to see the look of chagrin on his.
AS the day turned out to be warm
there was no boating in the afternoon.
and neither did Mr.. Denton show up
for more vegetables in the morning.
Miss Jessie pretended to be we'll pleas
ed but down in her heart she was
piqued.
AS matter of fact. the girl had be-
come indignant by the time she had
taken up the oars. and the feeling was
added to after she had fished for an
hour without n bite or sight of the
other beat Then came an Interrupt
ton. She hooked what she believed
vas Il whale. and in her excitement
she rose up and tumbled into the wa
ter with a great splash. The boat
did not go over. and she soon had her
hands on it. But to draw herself up
was another matter. She could not
do it. She could only hang on and
think of sharks.
She had been clinging for half an
hour when boat suddenly appeared
in sight. and at the top of her voice
she called out to be saved. She called
once. twice. thrice. and then the boat
was beside her. and Mr. Clarence Den
ton was lifting her in by the shoulders.
then asked:
'Does it always have this effect on
deaf and dumb people?'
81 can't say as to others. but have
surely found my voice." was the saucy
reply.
"Well. that's worth the wetting. l
saw you when you went over. but was
waiting for you to call. AS you may
lose your voice again If not taken care
of, I will accompany you home"
After Mr. Denton had been an al
most daily caller at Towser's for three
weeks and pretty constant guest at
the dinner table Aunt Rebecca beck
oned Miss Jessie out behind the cur
rant bushes one evening and said:
IF you haven't lost your voice again
you'd better tell him that I'm willing.
Uncle Joe's willing and that your
father is one of the willingest men in
the world. Then you'd better be will
ing. too. for it's high time big girl
like you was stepping off,"

THE SPORTING WORLD
GibS0n'S Great Work.

There is always one man on ball
club around, whom the playing machin'
cry revolves. That man Is the catcher.
He may not be spectacular, and he
may be neither good base runner nor
good hitter. but he must be reliable,
quick of thought and quick Of action.
Without a good catcher no ball club
can win Il pennant.
We may talk of the Tinkers. the
Mathewsons. THE Leaches, the Clarkes
and the Wagners. but there is one
man who could have been withdrawn
from the lineup of the Pirates month
or so ago and the club would not have
had chance to win the pennant. The
athlete in mind is Catcher Gibson.
Gibson has been the backbone of the
Pittsburg club since the beginning of
the season, and the Importance of his

Consumptive Home For Ball Tossers.

A home for veteran ball players who
fail victims to consumption to be es-
tablished in Colorado and maintained
by the club owners. or. rather by the
patrons of two major and two minor
leagues, is the plan fathered by Bill
Everett. the former Chicago National
league star. whose home is in Denver.
He hopes to see it put in effect within
a short time.
AS outlined by the veteran. only
decidedly moderate sum of money
would purchase a comfortable home in
Denver. or its vicinity. and a small an
nual income would maintain it, pro-
viding a superintendent. nurse when
necessary and the services of physi-
clan. The necessary money Everett
suggests raising by setting aside for
a brief period l per cent Of the gate
receipts of all games played in the Ma
tional and American leagues and the
American association and the Eastern
league.
Admission to the proposed home
would. in that case be restricted to

work can be seen from the fact that
he has caught practically every game
the Pirates played.
1t is the business of a catcher to pre-
vent the other team from scoring. He
is the major general of the club when
it is playing on the defensive. He
must work his pitchers so as to handi-
cap the base runners and when it
comes to n showdown and he is forced
to throw his heaves to second must be
as true as rifle shot. Gibson has been
in charge of that work for the Pirates
this season. and the answer is found
in the standing of the clubs. Four
years ago Gibson was considered
second rate catcher. but he has stuck
to the job so faithfully and has i'm
proved with such rapid strides that his
great work was Instrumental in the
Pirates winning the pennant. Without
him they would be lost
