don, the English architect having been
sent to New York himself to build it.
Two small items were two luxurious
private cars of entirely different pat
terms, one for America and one for
Europe, which she was always to use
when she travelled, professionally or
otherwise. He said he did not give
her the Lancashire Lass because it
wasn't quite new"-having been about
ten months in the water-but he had
his own reasons, one of which was
that the yacht represented a senti-
ment to him, and was what he would
have called "souviner." But if she
could think of anything else she fan
cied, now was the time"
She said that there was only one
thing she should really like, but that
she could not have it, because it was
not in the market He asked what it
was, and it turned out to be the ruby
which Logotheti had given her, and
had taken to Pinneys to be cut, and
which had been the cause of so many
unexpected events. including her mar
r1age. Logotheti had it in his posses
sion, she supposed but he had shown
good taste in not trying to press it on
her as a wedding present, for she
could not have accepted it. Neverthe.
less, she wanted it very much. more
as remembrance than for its beauty
Mr. Van Torp said he thought he
could fix that" and he did He went
directly to Mr.. Pinney and asked
what had become of the stone. Mr.
Pinney answered that it was now cut
and was in his safe for sale. The
good man had felt that it would not
be tactful to offer it to Mr.. Van Torn
Logotheti, who was a fine gentleman
in his way. had ordered it to be sold
when a good opportunity offered and
directed that the money should be
given to the poor Greeks in London

Leven, the Turkish ambassador and
the Greek minister, as committee
Mr.. Pinney, after consultation with the
best experts, valued it at $4,000
pounds. Mr.. Van Torp wrote =. check

steward led the visitors to the main
saloon, ushered them in and shut the

Mr.. Van Torp shook hands coldly
with Logotheti; Baraka walked direct
ly to Kralinsky, and then stood stone
still before him, gazing up steadily
into his eyes.
Neither Margaret nor Mrs. Rush
more was to be seen. Van Torp and
Logotheti both watched the other two,
looking from one face to the other.

MOST BASEBALL PLAYERS
ARE LIVING MODEL LIVES
High-Salaried Diamond Artists a.,I.
'ze That They Must Keep In
Best of Condition.

The life of the average baseball
player is as close to the model a good
citizen should follow as can be. He
is generally married, and, EXCEPT
when he is travelling, spends his spare
time at home. On the road he is at
MS hotel most of the time when he is
not at the baseball park. Once or
twice week, perhaps, he goes to
the theater, but generally he spends
the evening in the lobby of his hotel
talking over baseball and other mat
tiers with members of his own team
and friends who drop in to see him
Nine times out of ten he is in bed and
asleep by 1890 o'clock.
In the old days of baseball It used
to be quite the thing for the star
player to spend his nights in drinking
with friends, basking in the geniality
OF popularity, and mixing in rowdy
carousals. Such actions are a thing
of the past.
Nowadays the baseball PLAYER is
first of all gentleman No team will
put up with a man that drinks ex-
cessively, save in rare cases. Now
and then there is a man who can
spend his evenings in hitting the high
spots and then play good baseball the
following day. Such men are few and
Tar between, however. Most of those
who try it discover that their careers
as ball players in big-league company
are short-lived.
1t is matter of common sense.
The ball player knows he cannot do
his best when he is not taking care
of himself. If he does not know if
the fans and his manager will point it
out to him with unquestionable force
He knows that to hold a job on a big
league baseball team he must be in
possession of the ability to use the
best his brain and muscles contain
He can have this ability only by OBJ.
serving the best rules of life.
Furthermore, the baseball player in
the last few years has come to realize
better than ever before that when he
is through with baseball he can ex.
pect nothing from the public that
| once applauded him, nor from the
manager that once begged for his sig
| nature to contract. He must take
care of himself, and If he has not pro.
vided for the future during his davs
of success and money-making he is in
bad way.
There are probably no men recefy.
ing such high salaries who take such
good care of their money and save so
much of it as baseball players. AL.
most any well-known diamond star
that has played in one of the big
leagues for number of years has
usually laid by big proportion of his
salary, and when the inevitable time
for his retirement comes he is in a

that at once he finds himself in cir.

Romances Of Progress
By Albert Payson Terhune
GUTENBERG Father of Newspaper and Book

John Gutenberg, son of an exiled
nobleman of Mainz, had an idea. The
good people of Strasburg, where the
young man lived, early in the fifteenth
century, gave little credence to any
of his theories. For Gutenberg was
what would nowadays be known as a
"get-rich-quick" crank. He had floated
several schemes, borrowed money to
perfect them, and had in every case
failed to accomplish more than the
lmpoverishing of himself and his
hackers.
Gutenberg's newest idea had come
to him on seeing full set of playing
cards which had been constructed by
means of stamps, or dies, instead of
by hand. To the world at large this
labor-saving process seemed wonder
full. But it meant nothing more than
that to any one except Gutenberg. 1t
set him, however, to thinking.
If a collection of blocks with vari-
GUS designs carved on them could be
used to mark So cards, why could not
similar set of blocks be made, each
bearing one of the letters of the al
phabet, and used for printing words,
sentences, even whole pages?
For centuries a process had been
in use whereby such words, phrases
and pictures were carved upon large
blocks of wood, smeared with ink,
covered with paper and subjected to
a squeeze from sort Of cider-press.

A d. far more advanced form of

But Gutenberg's idea far outstripped
anything thus far dreamed of. For he

Meeting them at bottom and top with
two other cross-timbers, of which the

A large wooden screw ran from the
upper timber down to the center of a
wooden block or platen. When the
form was put in place and linked a
sheet of paper was damped and laid
over it and the screw turned until the
pressure stamped the linked printing
