ALL-HIGH SCHOOL TEAM.

In the judgment Of those who have
followed interscholastic baseball IN this
city for several years the ,-All-High
School team Of 1910 presents one Of the
strongest line-Ups that II has ever been
possible 10 select from the local field.
Instead OF picking the team which, in
the opinion OF one person, is the best
possible, The Times has left the matter
with the coaches. and the nine present
ed herewith represents the selection Of
those who developed the different
squads.
Not only from the viewpoint OF play
ing ability, but in the matter OF com
petition, the season, which practically
closed with the CentraI-Business oon-
test yesterday, has been one or the
most intensely interesting that the
lea cue has ever experienced.

There is but one man for third base
Captain Davis, of Business. A good
hitter, an excellent fielder. a deter

carable leader, Davis combines all the
qualities necessary for the All-High

The first base position IS between Nc

smooth fielding. In the matter Of hit
ting there is little TO choose between
the pair as they are both good batters-
After being brought in from the field.
King improved rapidly and with an
other years experience should prove a
star. He is a player OF the most ag-
gressive type Leland. of Eastern, was
another good fielder.
Macdonald, of Central, one Of the
veterans, is placed at second because OF
his hitting as well as ms work ateld.
Having led a championship team, this
player is the logical selection as cap
tain of the all-high school. Kelley, Of
Tech, is the choice Of the coaches as
second man for Macdonald's position.

out Of earshot and who r~esOlutely kept
his back toward the party, but this
thing has to be settled. Now" said the
woman, here is no question of honol

You a never told me a lie" she
continued. You have never 0own
anything but the truth"
Until l learned from you" cried the
man, what you had concealed"
The woman smiled bitterly, waving
aside this cruel stab.
Tell me the truth. Do you love me
as you did last night?"
IF you will have 1t, no." said the
man, rushing to his doom.
Men have taken a bullet in the
breast, a shot in the heart, and for a
moment have maintained their erect
position. The woman knew in that
moment how such things could be.
But l love you STILL" said the man.
And 1 still wan you for my wife"

as if in a dream, Il seemed to you
the embodiment of every excellence

"Katharine!" exclaimed LangfOrd,
extending his hand in Z final ap-
peal.
Not with you. either" said the
woman.

old chaplain, think what it is you do.

plea might 10 me if anything could,
but indeed it's useless as b rest"
Hear mine, them" said the man,
abruptly, even harshly.
The woman turned and faced him
as unrelenting and as determined as
she had faced the others. What could
he say? There was but one plea that
could move her. Was he about to
make that?
I'VE have loved each other" he
went on, brokenly. ct was my dear

that you can do but marry me. And
as you have refused him, 1t makes 1t
the more incumbent upon me to marry
you and to take you away. Your honor
demands it."
My honor!" famed out the woman.
Indignantly.
II have said it." returned the man,
doggedly.
Gentlemen, you will forgive our
trankness," said the woman, turning
