CHAPTER X.
Loves Perplexity.

u suppose ! have been i'll. | mean
very, very ill-dangerous'y.'
Mary was lying on a couch in
her bedroom. She was fully dressed,
and on rare occasions had been
permitted to totter sound the room,
supported by Tanta Shepherds ro-
bust arm The couch was drawn up
to the window which was wide open
to admit the bright sunlit air.
Yes, it was bad. About as bad
as enteric can be. It's been a sore
trouble to us al"
Tanta looked up from her nee'ie-
work. Her round eyes lifted over the
tops of her glasses to her charges
wan face. If she had no great skill
in sickness she had a sharp ear
and eye for her patients moods.
Ani moods tell much during con
valescence. The girls tone was de
jected.
You mustn't be angry with me,
Tana, but-but I'm sorry you've al
been at so much trouble. 1t would
have been so much easier all round
if | had-had died.
The work dropped in a heap on
the Old womans lap. Her inquiring
look had suddenly become a stare
Of Mortified amazement. She strug-
gled to her feet without a word
she was beyond worls-and amb-
ling to the bedside, began turning
down the soft white sheets. Mary
watched her movements in surprise.
What are you doing, Tanta?" she
asked sharply.
Back you go to beo this minute.
You'll not get up -5ain until Doc
tor Hendersons been to see you. I'll
say you're light-headed, which is
on,y an excuse for your wickedness."
Since Mary's illness the old Aft
rikander had come to treat her
charge very much much as she
would treat a child.
Nonsense. I'm not going back
to bed, so come and sit down again."
The command was peremptory, for
Mary was feeling fretful. Its your
own fault for sitting here without
saying a word. It's stitch, stitch
stitch all day, till l feel as if you
were stitching me all up and
hadn't got room to breathe. Do as
you're told. I'm sure if Ferman were
here he'd be very angry with you"
1t was the patients first act of
open rebellion, but Tanta did not
yield without protest.
"If the master was here it's YOU
who'd have nothing to say. It's you
who'd be in bed pretending to be
asleep so he'd go out and not dis
turb you. And when he'd gone
you'd open your eyes and laugh
A little and then you'd cry, as I've
seen you do this many times"
Tanta felt that mistress or no mis-
tress Mary was not strong enough
to take up her proper position yet.
Besides the lone illness had en-.
lightened her to things which at
one time she had only half sus-
pected.
Nevertheless she came back ODE
diently TO her chair and picked up
her work again. And Mary went
on, ignoring her reproaches.
You see, l don't think you un-
derstood what / meant just now.

1t is Here.
Now approached that sad season,
when for some unheard of reas-
on,
Every man takes up the notion he
must saunter out and buy
Something more or less expensive
for list of names extensive,
Yet with feelings vague as ocean as
to what or how or why.
Christmas day the mail must carry
Harry,
Also sisters, cousins, brothers, aunts
and grandmothers galore,
Tho he needs his cash for collars
and his waiting tailor "hollers,"
He must give to many others some
thing pretty from a store.
In this Christmas time obsesson,
there is never a digression.
Every year they gayly todile to
perform the same old stunt;
There is not a variation-every fell
low in creation
Gets the fever in his noodle and
the tailor bears the brunt.

CHRLSTY MATHEWSON
WINS FOR GIANTS
Shows Up in Great Form in
First Post Season Game
Against Yankees.

New York, n. Y, Oct 14-Tht New
York Giants Thursday defeated the New
York American league team in the first
game of the post season series. A
pitchers duel between the old master,
Christy Mathewson and the youngster,
Russell Ford, wao has been the sensa-
ton of the American league this sea-
son, the National twirler overshadowed
his rival Mathewson struck out IA,
which equals the American league rec
ord and excels the National league rec
ord for this season. The present series
is the first ever held between the two
New York clubs and thousands of par
tisans of both teams saw the contest.
Mathewsons box work has rarely
ever been equaled in any game in New
York. Wnen his opponents threattned
to score, Mathewson was at his bes:,
tanning the batters with a high fast
ball and a fade away. Ford pitched
scintillating hall, striking out nine of
the New Workers and holding them well
in hand with his mystery" ball, until
his teams defence weakened in the
eighth inning and four runs crossed
home. Ford struck out SnodgraSs, the
heavy hitter, every time he came to the
bat.
The Americans suffered a hard blow
to their post season hopes when catcher
Sweeney had his finger badly split by
foul tip in the third inning. Score:
Americans 20 l 0 0 o.
Nationals % ks II
Batteries: Americans, Ford and

ewson and Meyers Umpires-Klem and

Texans Make Good In
American League Games

Karger won u and lost seven, standing
eighth in the league. Both Mitchell
and Karger are now rated top notch
erS-
When it is considered Mitchell and
Karger outrank sucn men as Johnson
other well known figures, they must
be ranked as ball players of great
ability.
OF the players other than the three
mentioned Hohnhorst, first baseman
with Cleveland, who played first base
all the season with San Antonio, must
be ranked the highest. He got into
only ii games. but showed ne was a
great fielder and a still greater bats
man, his average in those games being
$50, falling but 10 points behind La
jOie and Cobb, and outranking Speaker.
This showing fnsures him a great try
out next season.
Criss leads all pitchers n the Ameri-
can league, but that was because he
only pitched two games winning them
both. AS a pinch hitter he did wells
closing the season with an average of
PHI.
Others Make Records
OF the other Texas pitchers the fol-
lowing are the records: Banding
pitched two games. won one, lost one;
ell won two, lost three; Bailey won
three lost IS; Malloy lost five, won
nothing.
Earl Gardner of New York did high
grade work, participating in 73 games
and finishing with a batting average
of -267. His fielding was equal to al
most any other infielder in the league.
He promises to be a fixture.
Northen started out in a sensational
manner. For a time he batted we'll
over 800, but had a slump towards the
latter part of the season. In % games
he mad a batting average of .232.
Newman, first baseman for the st.
Louis Browns, started off well, but
jumped the team towards the latter
part of the season and j. now in bad
with the national comnission1 His
usefulness in big league company is
probably at an end.
All of the other Texas men did well
and nearly all of them will be retained
next year.
