he felt solid earth beneath his feet
again. Dumb with surprise, he gazed
about him. He found himself stand
ing with the unwelcome visitor still
at his side on g bleak and desolate
moor swept by singing gusts Of sleet
and rain. Indeed. SO surprised was he
that when his guide motioned to him
to follow he oheyea without question,
and side by side they pushed on across
the frozen turf toward a distant light
which flickered feebly in the gloom.
AS the distance lessened Bullion per-
ceived thai the point of the light to-
ward which they were directing their
steps emanated from the window OF
a dilapidated howell, shakily propped on
the stump of rotten trees. The wind
howled dismally about its dripping
caves and the icy a beat in at the
broken windows.
Wondering what type of humanity
could live in so squalid a structure.
Bullion approached and peered in at
one of the grimy panes. The picture
of poverty and restitution that met
his eye seemed to mark the depths of
human misery. A bent n aged man
formed the central figure of the scene.

AS her husband wrapped a ragged ana
worn shawl about her bony shoulders
she clasped his grimy hand and tried
TO smile reasuringly up into his face.
Supporting her in his arms. and half
carrying the blind Did woman he lit
tie children clinging abou their
mothers skirts, the old man limped
painfully toward the open door.
On the threshold he paused to look
back at the miserable hove that for
years had been his home. When the
icy wind struck her the woman in his
arms vas seized with a fit of coughing
that seemed to rack her frail form be-
You'd human endurance. She threw her
arms about the old mans neck. !.
I'm choking" she gasped, choking
And the words died away in a hoarse
rattele in her throat. A convulsive
tremor passed over her flesh; her arms
relaxed. The man fell upon his knees
and bowed his mead and wept. holding
in his arms the dead body of his wife.
II seemed to Bullion that IL was his
w body pierced by the icy wind, his
own heart rung by the dying wofnan's
cry. He awoke with a start to find
himself sitting alone in the familiar
Office. There was the warm fire. to be
sure; 1t was late and he knew that his
brougham must be waiting at the door
TO take him home to a cheerful. sump-
tuous house and a smoking dinner.
With a pang of self-reproach he
jumped to his feet and pressed the cleo
tric button on his desk. This secretary
entered again.
Call back those gentlemen. Don't
waste a minute. I have reconsidered
my hasty decision. These crimes in
the mining region must cease immedi-
ately. Such Q state of things IS g dis
grace to a Christian community"
The astonished subordinate bolted
from the room and Bullion was left
alone. A kindly light that seemed to
emanate from the spirit within lit up
his face; for the first time in years he
felt the sense Of spiritual beatitude
only of benevolent deeds.
From the street, came the rumble or
traffic; to Bullion's ear 1t had lost it's
note. To his fancy it rose like
an anthem sounding his praise from the
threats OF the millions of the down
trodden.

Bullion sat at the mahogany desk in
his private Office running over a heap
OF financial documents and papers. A
red coal fire glowed in the CRATE; the

dusk was coming on with a rapidness

came the confused roar Of traffic. the

that men pushed along against he

Hughie has radical ideas on this
pitcher-switching business, as Detroit
has learned In watching his two years
and a half OF campaigning here. lie
likes to let HEAVIER work out his own
salvation whenever IL looks as II he
had any chance at all. Yesterday,
however, he derricked one pitcher TO
let a pinch-hitter bat, derricked an
other when II seemed certain he was
about TO be hit for the run that would
have won the game, and today there
are no hard feelings at the club house.
Manning pitched really remarkable
Manning "Had Something"
Manning pitched a really remarkable
game against the Tigers. He had all
his speed and had rested long enough
to allow his dinky arm TO get good
and strong. His curve was as quick
as Bill Donovan's and he added to his
repertory a slow drop ball which de-
meaned itself after the fashion OF the
knuckle-ball of Eddie Summers. This
one was. in fact. his most effective
deceiver and he surely had the Tiges
going with IT. Had his support been
on the scale of that rendered Willett
Kiifian and Muffin, the Tiges would
have never gotten into the extra In
nings and wouldn't have won II they
had.
But the New Workers had a furry In
the early stages which the Tiges COM
bined with a pass, sacrifice and a
hit, scoring three runs. Then Cobb
doubled, by grace OF Cree's misjudg-
ment, and came home on an infeld
out, drawing a throw to third from
Chase and tearing home In as fine a
piece of base-running as the park has
been this season.
II counts when you can outwit a
man with the ability OF Hal Chase.
Three runs TO none il went till the
seventh when New York hit Willet
for FIVE consecutive hits. four OF which
were clean and one by Demmitt was
