Those persons who imagine that

men were hard at work. Over at one
side a graceful, handsome. boyish look
ing man was throwing slowly and
with evident caution 10 a young catch
er. Slowly, and studying every move
in order TO avoid jerking or twisting
damaged shoulder. he kept pitching.
trying TO throw the soreness out He
had drawn a little cross in the dirt
upon which he pivoted his right foot,
and two feet in front of that and a
foot TO the left was a hole In the sand.
AS he threw he swung on his stride
and, instead OF planting his left foot
straight in front, he swung II into the
hole TO the left. He had changed his
pitching motion 10 accommodate the
sore shoulder and prevent adding to
the strain. Presently he swung his
arm slowly overland. The ball fioated

had made him the greatest pitching
sensation OF years, had deliberately
set to work and by steady. persistent
practice had evolved a new system of

how the change in stride would affect

ing and hard work were required TO
perfect his fadeaway and make him
again one Of the greatest pitchers no
one knows"

Wealth is merely comparative. Ones
possessions constitute a pittance or a
fortune, according to ones point Of
view. The Rev. Frederic Denison tells
a story OF one of the inhabitants Of
old Westerly, r. l.. which shows there
is no general standard OF riches. The
young man, prompted by patriotism
and desire for gold, had enlisted in the
uncertain business Of privateering.
On returning home after many and
various cruises he was thankfully
greeted by his kin and anxious friends.
