Walter Hughes Twirls Railroaders to Victory Over
Marquette League Champs-Jimmy Rice
the Star-Au Have Chance

Car Department upset all the dope in
Section B yesterday by trimming Naval
Medical School, z to 8, and placing the
series in such a position that every
team has a chance for the honors.
Manager Taylor, Of the Railroaders.
knowing that a defeat would eliminate
his club, sent in Hughes, his star twirler,
and the latter brought home the bacon
in fine style, allowing only three scat
tered hits, and causing nine of the Sea
Doctors to Whit the atmosphere.
The versatile Mr.. De Voto, who usually
performs behind the bat, assumed the
responsibility of hurting for the Medicos,
but after three innings concluded that
he was on the wrong end of the battery
and gracefully gave way to Harley. The
latter yielded only two hits in the three
innings thrt he occupied the rubber, but,
after his support had slipped up on sew
eral chances in the fifth, he uncorked
two wild pitches that brought the Rail-
, roaders total up 20 seven.
Rice Makes Feature Play.
Rice was credited with the feature
play of the game when he bagged
Handy's liner in the opening chapter
through the medium of a sensational
drive that caused even the most rabid
car department fans to go into condi-
ton bordering on apoplexy.
Hughes started off well by tanning the
first two men to face him, and after
walking Donaldson and allowing Rice to
single, he caused the slugging Harley to
roll a weak grounder to second for a
foce-out Rice spoiled all chances for the
Railroaders in the first inning by scin-
tiIIatfng catch. but Stansbury beat out a
bunt in the second with one down and
scored when Rice made a wild throw to
third. after Mcdonald had singled.
Car Department added three more in
the next session, and convinced De Voto
that it was not his day. Handy started
this inning with a walk and went to
third on Sullivan's one-baser to center
J. Callow struck out, but Kehl scored
Handy with a single, Sullivan going to
third on the hit. kilroy laid a bunt down
the third-base line and KehI Tailed from
second while Harley vas throwing kilroy
out.
Doctors Have Chance.
The Medicos were given fine oppor-
tunity in the fourth, when Hughes walk
ed Donaldson to start the inning, and
Sullivan made a mess of Rices grounder

doubled on the play, Donaldson scoring
the first run for the Sea Doctors. Bay

mixed in with walk and a single, gave
tie Railroaders thir last tallies. Hughes
let up a little in the sixth, and astiouble,

the Marquette Leaguers' total to three.

GOOD USE FOR EXTRA SCARFS
May Be Made Into Blouse by Any
Ono at All Clever With
the Needle

II you have an extra scarf in the
Paisley, Dresden or Partisan design
and want to have blouse to match
the scarf which you wish to retain, for
scarfs still have wide fashion, the idea
of turning the extra one into a blouse
is one you can snatch up and put
to good use
Scarfs, muff1ers and kerchiefs Of
these silky crepe materials are easily
cut up and made into neat and becom-
ing blouses by the home needlework-
er who takes advantage of the limo
vation.
Almost invariably the middle pos
sesses a figure design, while the bor-
der is also composed of figures with
band of white or light color between
these two figured portions. Make 1t
point to use these strips of mate
rial for the lower part of the blouse
or the inside of the sleeves, and in
thus utilizing the plain strip boz
lero effect is secured
One must choose for oneself &C
cording to the largeness of design
whether to set in the figured parts
lengthwise or crosswise, the length
wise effect being assumed generally
only when the figure is very large.
These with smaller figures can so
we'll be arranged in a series of cross
wise bars that 1t would hardly be be-
coming in the heightened effect.
These crepe scarf waists are draped
under sheer yelling, to which they
adapt themselves readily without any
nerve jarring aspect that attend some
of the innovations that are executed In,
such an off-hand manner.

SYNOPSIS.
0.W plLLikGhAh COMPANY

Howard Jeffries, bankers son, under
the evil influence of Robert Underwood,
q fellow-student at Yale, leads life OF
dissipation, marries the daughter or
gambler who died in prison. and Is dis
owned by his father. He tries to get work
and fails A former college chum makes
q business proposition to Howard which
requires 81, 900 cash, and Howard Is broke.
Robert Underwood, who had been re-
pulsed by Howard's wife, Annie, In his
college days. and had once been engaged
to Alicia, Howards stepmother, has
apartments at the Astruria, and Is ap-
parently in prosperous circumstances
Howard recalls $3.50 loan to Underwood
that remains unpaid, and decides to ask
him for the $2 200 he needs. Underwood,
taking advantage of his intimacy with
Mrs. Jeffries, Sr., becomes sort OF social
highwayman Discovering his true char
acter she denies him the house. Alicia
receives a note from Underwood, threat
ening suicide. She decides to go, and see see
him. He Is in desperate financial straits.
Art dealers for whom he has been acting
as commissioner, demand an accounting.
He cannot make good. Howard Jeffries
3 calls in an intoxicated condition. He asks
Underwood for 1000 and is told by the
latter that he is in debt up to his eyes.
Howard drinks himself into a maudlin
condition, and goes to sleep on divan:
A caller is announced and Underwood
draws a screen around the drunken
sleeper. Alicia enters. She demanSs
promise from him that he will not take
his life, pointing to the disgrace that
would attach to herself Underwood re-
fuses to promise unless she Will renew
her patronage.

ITS no use battling against the tide.
The strongest swimmer must go under
some time. I've played my last card
and I've lost. Death is better than
going to Jail. What good is life any
way without money? Just moments
nerve and 1t will all be over"
Opening the drawer in the desk, he
took out the revolver again. He turned
it over in his hand and regarded fear
fully the polished surface Of the in
strument that bridged life and death.
He had completely forgotten Howard's
presence in the room. On the thresh-
old of a terrible deed, his thoughts
were leagues away. Like a man who
is drowning, and close to death, he
saw with surprising distinctness a
kaleidoscope view of his past life. He
saw himself an innocent, impulsive
school boy, the pride of a devoted
mother, the happy home where he
spent his childhood. Then came the
association with bad companions, the
first step in wrongdoing, stealing out
of a comrades pocket in school, the
death of his mother, leaving home
with downward progress until he grad
ually drifted into his present dishon-
est way of living. What was the good
of regrets? He could not recall his
mother to life. He could never rehab-
ilitate himself among decent men and
women. The world had suddenly be-
come too small for him. He must go,
and quickly.
lingering the pistol nervously, he
sat before the mirror and placed 1t
against his temple. The cold steel
gave him a sudden shock. He won
dered II It would hurt, and If there
would be instant oblivion. The glare
Of the electric light In the room dis
concerted him. 1t occurred to him
that It would be easier in the dark.
Reaching out his arm, he turned the
electric button, and the room was i'm
mediately plunged into darkness, ex-
cept for the moonlight which entered
through the windows, imparting a
ghostly aspect to the scene. On the
other side Of the room, behind the
screen, red glow from the open fire
fell on the sleeping form of Howard
Jeffries.
Slowly, deliberately, Underwood
raised the pistol to his temple and
fired.

CHAPTER viii.
Hello! What's that 2"

Hello! What's that?"
Startled out of his Gargantuan
slumber by the revolver's loud report,
Howard sat up with a jump and
rubbed his eyes. On the other side
of the screen, concealed from his OBJ
servation, there was a heavy crash of
a body falling with a chair-then all
was quiet.
Scared. not knowing where he was,
Howard jumped to his feet. For a
moment he stood still, trying to col
lect his senses. 1t was too dark to
discern anything plainly, but he could
dimly make out outlines of aesthetic
furniture and bibelots. Ah. he re-
membered nowl He was in Under
woods apartment
Rubbing his eyes, he tried to recall
how he came there, and slowly his be-
fuddled brain began to work. He re-
membered that he needed $4,000, and
that he had called on Robert Under
wood to try and borrow the money.
Yes. he recalled that perfectly well.
Then he and Underwood got drinking
and talking. and he had fallen asleAn-

For the Traveller,

The traveller who is fastidious about
the boiling of her eggs should invest
in one of the egg-shaped boilers of cop
per, small enough to pack in a trunk.
1t will cook four eggs.
This lamp is like huge egg, has
an alcohol lamp beneath and a tray
with four compartments to hold the
eggs erect In the water and make re-

For the girl in an apartment who
likes to do light housekeeping such a
cooker could be utilized for making
cup custards and other dishes cooked
in water.

CHAPTER VlI~ContInued.

'T don't believe you intend to carry
out your threat. l should have known
from the first that your object was to
frighten me. The pistol display was
highly theatrical, but 1t was only a
bluff. You've no more idea Of taking
your life than 1 have Of taking mine.
I was foolish to come here. l might
have spared myself the humiliation of
this clandestine interview. Good
night"
She went toward the door. Under
wood made no attempt to follow her.
In a hard, strange voice, which he
scarcely recognized as his own, he
merely said:
'Ts that all you have to say?"
"Yes," replied Alicia, as she turned
at the door. Let 1t be thoroughly un-
derstood that your presence at my
house is not desired. If you force
yourself upon me in any way, you
must take the consequences"
Underwood bowed, and was silent.
She did not see the deathly pallor Of
his face. Opening the door of the
apartment which led to the hall, she
again turned.
Tell me, before l go-you didn't
mean what you said in your letter, did
your"
'TT tell you nothing" replied I'm
derwood doggedly.
She tossed her head scornfully.
'T don't believe that man who Is
coward enough to write letter like
this has the courage to carry out his
threat" Stufing the letter back into
her bag, she added: Il should have
thrown 1t In the waste-paper basket,
but on second thoughts. think I'll
keep It, Goodnight"
Goodnight" echoed Underwood
mechanically.
He watched her go down the long
hallway and disappear in the elevator.
Then, shutting the door, he came
slowly back into the room and sat
down at his desk For ten minutes he
sat there motionless. his head bent
forward, every limb relaxed. There
was deep silence, broken only by How
ards regular breathing and the loud
ticking Of the clock.
Its all up" he muttered to himself
