MERKLE MAKES STUPID PLAY

Some offside information OF the St..

York Is to the effect that "Merkle"
play distinctly characteristic of the
man who lost the Giants pennant
helped Bill Steele get away with his
victory over the New Workers. Steele
was pretty freely hit in the game he
pitched. He was beginning to wab-
be and totter in the seventh inning
and the Giants were going after him
hard. With one gone Murray and

that trade IS now very brisk In the
engineering line and that the unem-
ployed percentage of members Is
much lower than a year ago. If 1t

"Oh. help yourself. They're some
where on the top door behind a barri-
cade."
"r1l bring him out Of that" said the
bishop. But he had not reckoned on
the full strength Of Mr.. Hewington's
prejudice. :
TITS not on my account, my dear
bishop" said Mr., Hewington, "but I

'.Nonsense. De Courcey! Devine

is an honest chap, Come down and

shall remain here until he goes away"
So the bishop went back alone.
When it was over, when the last Of
them had gone, Mr.. Cherub Devine,
cropping about for some fitting term to
express the situation, remarked enig-
matically:
THAT'S what I call playing four
flush against full house. Guess I'll
take another stack, though"
Which meant that the audacious
soul Of Mr.. Devine was humbled, but
not crushed.
He had tried to demonstrate to Mr..
Hewington that his estimate Of Cherub
Devine as one Of the socially unfit was
a mistaken judgment. But evidently
he had demonstrated nothing Of the
kind. The Hewingtons had given him
no chance to show what he could do
In that line. Well, should he quit
then? Mr.. Devine allowed himself to
smile grimly. Almost any one in Wall
street could have told you what that
meant. -

CHAPTER VI.


Acres were empty and very
stu long before midnight, but
Il the Cherub continued to sit in
the library, smoking and med1tatinx.
He had 4 trick when watching an un-
steady market Of tearing pieces Of pa
per into small bits and throwing them
away. He was doing this now, and
the eastern rug under his feet looked
a. II It had been visited by a stage
snowstorn. He was aroused by an
odd noise. It sounded az If some one
was dragging heavy object down the
stairs.
Looking out through the door hang
ings, he could see the lower half Of the
staircase. For moment he waited,
and then there appeared tho Countess
Vecch1 tugging at dress suit case
which was evidently well flied. She
was dressed as If for the street, with
q light silk dust coat over her black
gown and jaunty straw hat on her
head. When she saw the Cherub she
seemed. startled and shrank back
guiltily.
"Oh," she exclaimed, I'll did not

II they might fill with tears at any
moment.
"All right, all right" he said sooth-
ingly. you needn't talk about It." "
The Countess vecchi allowed the
suit case to slide to the floor, and then
she faced him resolutely.
'tMr. Devine, I have found out all
about you."' -.
"Mew
eyes. know why you are here"
"Goodl You know a blamed sight
more than do then.' vi: *
1T Is useless for you to try to keep
up the deceit any longer, Mr.. Devine.
Ny father has confessed the whole
~wretched sto.<. He told me at first
that you were merely here on some
law buafness, but when heard that
you were entertaining your friends
here, just as you would in your own
house, I demanded to be told the truth.
And now know. Oh, know It all!
This 10 your house. You own It.
Somehow or other you have tricked
my poor father out Of it, and now our
beautiful ho-o-ome is yours. Dare
you deny it, Come! Isn't it so7''

submission. 4
