ODDS 10 To 7
ON THE CUBS

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO. Oct. S.-Big vans of
athletic money are going begging
here today and betting on the
worlds baseball series is very
light as a result. Chicago is still
10 to favorite. A large east
ern commission flooded the bet
ting market today and it is pre-
dicted that by nightfall the odds
will be longer than 10 to 9 with
even money in some places. Evers'
injury has caused many Cub sup
,porters to wait for shorter odds
more thany anything else.

few moments later they appeared, LIE
Malheureux with wallet in his hand,
Benoni carrying the old man. who,
cursing and screaming with all his
might, was struggling against the iron
grip of the black.
My diamonds, my diamonds! Let
me have them. What else is worth in
life to me now since Cerisse has died.

Hackleye. "Ah, let me at him!" Mr..

him to a chair and put a gag in his
mouth.

not leave him to their hands," said Be-

on the wing. The morning breeze was
chill and portent of rain hung in the
sky, though the sun was fighting 20

Fifty leagues had they gone, when City
Editor Burton, who had not been left

DR.. FothergiH telephoned for Philip
and he was there shortly before noon
as the doctor had asked. Philip had
that winter, and he felt more the Peri
outside the gate than ever. when Mrs.
Harcourt, in her rich furs and radiant
beauty, followed the doctor into the
parlor. The months in the hospital
had worked wonders with Mrs. Har-
court. The old, unfathomable brillian-
cy had left her eyes, but there was
sweeter, a more human look within
them, and the weird alabaster tones Of
her skin were replaced with a more
babyish purity of luster. She was
more a woman, less a strange, unreal
phantom from another world. They
did their shopping first, but curtailed it
because the crowds in the stores stop
per to gaze open-mouthed at the start
ling beauty of Mrs. Harcourt, the grim
plainness Of DR.. Fothergill. and Philip
Hartley's assiduous attentions to both
the ladies. Then in one department
store, some one whispered that the
woman in the luxurious furs was that
mysterious Mrs Harcourt, you know"
and Phil had much ado to get both his
charges unharmed into a waiting TAXI
cab.
Thither they went direct to the jail.
Harcourt had not been told OF their
coming visit. as his wife had expressly
wished 1t SO. She went rapidly through
the dingy hall. and ratified imperious-
ly at the bars Of the door. Harcourt
was sitting modify In one corner OF
the room. as had been his habit Of late.
He did not heed the rustic OF silken
skirts nor the faint perfume that au-
reoled his wife.
Harold" she called. Harold, oh.
Harold"
At sound of her Voice he turned and
gasped. Then he rose, and like an old.
old man, walked over and thrust his
hands through the door.
"Narcisse." he faltered, and whether
it was fear, or wonder, or admiration
in his face and voice, one could NOT
tell. Plainly he was Ill at ease.
