CHAPTER XVI.
The Shadow of a Girl.


Certain things about the dinner at
the Dallas house will always be OBJ
scure to me. Dallas was something
in the fish commission, and | remem-
ber his reeling off fish eggs in billions
while we ate our caviar. He had some
particular stunt he had been urging
the government to for years-some-
thing about forbidding the establish
ment of mills and factories on river
banks-it seems they kill the fish,
either the smoke or the noise, or
something they pour into the water.
Mrs. Dallas was there, | think. OF
course, suppose she must have been !;
and there was woman in yellow; |
took her in to dinner, and l remember
she loosened my clans for me so |
could get them. But the only real per-
son at the table was girl across in
white, sublimated young woman
who was as brilliant as | was stupid,
who never by any chance looked di
rectly at me, and who appeared and
disappeared across the candles and
orchids in a sort of halo Of radiance
When the dinner had progressed
from salmon to roast, and the conver
sation had done the same thing-from
fish to scandal-the yellow gown
turned to ME.
1--WE have been awfully good
haven't we, Mr.. Blakeley?" she asked
although l am crazy to hear, l have
not said wreck once. I'm sure yol
must feel like the survivor of Water
loo, or something of the sort"
''If you want me to tell you abou
the wreck" said, glancing across the
table, I'm sorry to be disappointing
but j don't remember anything

after. and that girl, beautiful
girl"
"Ah!" said the lady in yellow, lean
ing forward breathlessly. Miss Wes
was staring at me coldly, but, ono
started, had to stumble on.
'That a girl was trying to rous
me, and that she told me / had bee
on fire twice already" A shudde
went around the table.
"But surely that isn't the end OF tn
story Mrs. Dallas put in aggrievedly

thing ever heard"

A LITTLE TOO PRIMITIVE
Shower Bath Arrangement Something
OF a Shock TO the
Participant.

August Belmont, ut dinner In Sara
toga, praised the seaside towns OF
New England.
But some Of them," he added, "are
little too primitive. I remember
story about the primitive town Of
Rockford. Rockford had rough bath

You stood in your bathhouse and
pulled rope and deluge Of cool wa
ter descended from the ceiling.
We'll, lady visitor stood one day
in her bathhouse, ready for the show
er. She pulled the rope and braced
herself, but no shower followed. She
gave the rope another tug. when the
gruff voice of the sailor proprietor OF
the establishment sounded from aloft.
"'Stand a pint more to nor-east,

And the Mortified lady, looking up,
saw the old sailor frowning impa-
tiently through hole in the ceiling
and fitting barrel Of sea water for

CHAPTER XVII.
At the Farm House Again.

Mcknight is always sympathizer
with the early worm. 1t was late
when he appeared Perhaps, like my
self, he had not slept well. But he
was apparently cheerful enough, and
he made better breakfast than | did.
1t was one o'clock before we got to
Baltimore. After half hours wait
we took local for NJ, the sta
tion near which the cinematograph
picture had been taken.
We passed the scene of the wreck,
Mcknight with curiosity, l with a
sickening sense of horror. Back in
the fields was the little farm house
where Alison West and l had intend
ed getting coffee, and winding away
from the track, maple trees shading
it on each side, was the lane where
we had stopped to rest, and where /
had-it seemed presumption beyond
belief nowhere had tried to com.
fort her by patting her hand.
We got out at Nj, a small
place with two or three houses and a
general store. The station was one
roomed affair, with a railed-off place
at the end, where a scale, telegraph
instrument and chair constituted the
entire furnishing.
The station agent was young mar
with shrewd face. He stopped ham
meging piece Of wood over hole II

NEW BASEBALL PLAY THE CROSS OUT

the catcher. who nails the runner
sliding inf he is lucky.
Should the runner on third
simply tear up the base line a short
distance, there is a chance for the
shortstop to get him. either by
running toward him with the ball
or tossing the ball to the third
baseman and running down the
runner.
Should the man on third simply
make bluff to run home and not
give the shortstop chance to get
him, the shortstop whips the ball
to second base quickly. to get the
man running from first.
The quickest sort of thinking and
perfection of execution is required
to make this play success. A
bObble and it's all off. When 1t
works the runner looks as cheap as
Saturday sale. and when it fails
the infield takes on the same sort
of look.
The play is capable of variations.
At first glance it may resemble
that old thing of the shOrtstOp run
ming in behind the pitcher to take
the throw from the catcher, in Or
der to throw out a man at the
plate. but it is different in every
respect and it looks like good
thing. | saw it worked in practice
this spring with a fast infield, and
the way runners were cut down
was astonishing.

WILL HELP
KIDS PLAY

DALLAS, Texas, March 23.-The
regular team of the New York
Giants. the aggregation on which
John McGraw is pinning his hope of
coping the National league pen
nant this year, will meet the Dallas
team at CASTOR park March 30, in a
game to be played for the benefit
of the Fairgrounds. The entire gate
receipts will be donated to the
women who are building the public
Fairgrounds in Dallas. McGraw
likes the Fairgrounds idea and he
was eager to play the game when 1t
was suggested to him. He assured
Joe Gardner. owner Of the Dallas
team, that he will have Tenny,
Doyle, Birdwell, Matthewson, Dew
lin, Murray, Seymour, Wilson and
the other stars of his team in the
lineup for that game. The New
York youngsters will play in Hous-
ton. but the regulars will stay here
for five days.

TRACK MEN At WORK

The track team of the South Cen
trail high school turned out yester-
day afternoon for spring practice at
Natatorium park. Considering the
time of the year and the condition
of the weather, a goOdly number OF
athletes turned out. They will prac-
tice steadily from now on until the
end of the season.
The Natatorium park grounds are
great improvement over the Inter
state fair grounds because of their
location, being protected from the
winds. The Washington Water
Power Co. has been induced,
through the efforts of Coach Van
Cook to install shower baths in the
clubhouse and to put in one-fifth
mile cinder path for the use of the
sprinters. A jumping pit will also
be made.
Although the South Central high
school was the only school actively
represented on the field yesterday,
the North Central boys will have
the same privileges and equal use
Of the ground.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March "a
Here's a play that will make it's
appearance this summer. | don't
know that 1t Is new, but at least
one major league team is working
1t out this spring, hoping to slip
something unexpected over at a
time when to retire man means
to pull out of bad hole and per-
haps save a game.
With runner on third and a
man on first, the catcher, antici
pating either real or fake
double steal intended to advance
the man on first, or to score the
runner from third, signals the in
field and pitcher.
When the pitcher makes the first
motion to start his delivery. the
second baseman covers, the short
stop runs in between the pitcher
and third base, we'll inside the da-
mond. and the third haseman, of
course, covers his base.
The pitcher throws the ball so
the catcher gets it in position
for a quick return, and the latter
whips 1t to the shortstop. provid
ing either runner attempts to come
through with the program.
Should 1t happen that the play
is for the man on third to score.

shOrtstOp whips the ball back to

FIGHT FOR TITLE so YEARS AGO; :
TOM SA YERS QUITS BUT WINS

Just so years ago the 18th of
April, Tom Sayers of England and
John G. Heenan of West Troy, N.
Y, fought for the heavyweight
championship Of the world near
London.
The following article from Les
lies Weekly, together with the de-
tails Of the famous battle taken
from the files of that year, will be
of much interest now that the
eyes Of the pugilistic world are
centered on the Jeffries-J ohnson
fight:
This famous fight of half CEN
fury ago attracted fully as much
attention at the time as the JEFF
fries-Johnson mix-up is doing to-
day. The championship belt was
held by Tom Savers, of England,
who won it in 1857 from Perry
(the Upton Slasher). together
with side bet of E20O. John C.
Heenan. of West Troy, N. Y, chal-
lenged Sayers for the belt and a
$500 side bet in August, 1859,
STIMULATING that the fight must
take place near London, England,
under the London prize-ring rules.
Heenan arrived in Liverpool Jan
uary 16, 1860, after the acceptance
OF his challenge, but he was so
overwhelmed with entertainment
that he had to leave for London
incog. After completing arrange
ments in the metropolis for the
match. he went to Wiltshire Downs
