realized that unless the secret were

such mysterious means.

The George Robert White medal OF

CHAPTER I.
The Threshold Of Adventure.

Inc Thresnotd OF Adventure.
The roar Of State street filled the
ears Of Robert Orme not unpleasantly.
He liked Chicago, felt towards the
western city something more than the
tolerant patronizing interest which
20 often characterizes the eastern
man. To him 1t was the hub OF gen.
nine Americanism-young. aggressive.
perhaps bit too cocksure, but ever
bounding along with eyes toward the
future. Here was the city OF great
beginnings, the city of experiment
experiment with life: hence its incom-
kleteness--an incompleteness not dis
similar to that of life itself. Chi
cago lived; 1t was the pulse of the
great middle west.
Orme watched the procession with
clear eyes. He had been strolling
southwark from the Masonic Temple,
INTO the shopping district The
clangor, the smoke and dust, the hur-
ry.ng crowds, all worked into his
mood. The expectation of adventure
was far from him. Nor was he a man
who sought impressions for amuse-
ment; whatever came to him he weigh
ed, and accepted or rejected according
as It was valueless or useful. Whole
some he was; any one might infer
that from his face. Doubtless, his
fault lay in his overemphasis on the
purely practical; but that after all.
was lawyers fault, and 1t was
counterbalanced by sweet kindness
toward all the world-a loveableness
which made for him friend of every
chance acquaintance.
1t was well along in the afternoon,
and shoppers were hurrying home
ward. Orme noted the fresh beauty
of tina women and girls-Chicago has
reason to be proud of her daughters
and his heart beat little faster.
Not that he was a man to be caught
by every pretty stranger; but scarce
ly recognized by himself, there was a
hidden spring of romance in his prac-
teal nature. Heartfree, he never met
q woman without wondering whether
she was the one. He had never found
her; he did not know that he was
looking for her: yet always there was
the unconscious question.
A distant whistle, the changing Of
gongs, the rapid beat Of galloping
hoofs-fire engines were racing down
the street. Cars stopped, vehicles OF
all kinds crowded in toward the curbs.
orme paused and watched the fire
horses 90 laundering by, their smo-
king cnariots swaying behind them
and dropping long trails OF sparks.
Small boys were running, men and
women we're stopping to gaze after
the passing engines, but Orme's at
tention was taken by something that
was happening near by, and as the
gongs and the hoof-beats grew fainter
he looked with interest to the street
beside him.
He had got as far as the corner OF
Madison street. The scramble to get
out of the way of the engines had
here resulted In a traffic jam. Two
policemen were moving about, shout
ing orders for the acknowledgement Of
the street cars and vehicles which
seemed to be inextricably wedged to-
gether.
A burly Irish teamster was below
ing at his horse. The hind wheel OF
q smart barouche was caught in the
fore wheel of delivery wagon, and
the driver of the delivery wagon was

That was all that orme could get
out of her; and after a little banter
and brief exchange OF greetings

phone by his wife, the wire was per-
mitted to rest.

looking out over the beautiful expanse
of Lake Michigan. which reflected
from its CLASSY surface the wonderful
opalescence OF early evening. He
seemed to have set forth on new and
adventurous road. How strangely the
girl of the car had come into his life!
Then he thought of the flvedollar
bill. with the curious inscription, He
took It from his pocketbook and ex.
amined It by the fading light. The
words ran the full length of the face
orme noticed that the writing had a
foreign look. There were fiourishes
which seemed distinctly un-American
He turned the bill over Apparent
ly there was no writing on the back
but as he looked more closely he saw
dark blur in the upper left-hand
corner. Even in the dusk he could
make out that this was not spot OF
dirt; the edges we're defined too dis
tinctly for smudge; and 1t was MOI
black enough for an ink-blot
Moving to the center table, hi
switched on the electric lamp, ant
looked at the blur again. II stood GU
plainly now, series of letters ant

And who was this s. r. Evans?
The better to study the mystery

in terms which seemed to embarrass
the elderly gentleman who sat in the
barouche. Orme's eye travelled
through the outer edge of the dis
turbance, and sought its center.
There in the midst Of the tangle
was big black touring car. Its one
occupant was girl-and such q girl!
Her fawn-colored cloak was thrown
open; her face was unveiled. Orme
was thrilled when he caught the
glory Of her face--the clear skin.
Drowned by outdoor living; the de-
mure but regular features; the eyes
that seemed to transmute and reflect
softly all Impressions from without.
Orme had never seen any one like
her--so nobly unconscious Of sex' SO
appealing and yet so calm.
She was waiting patiently. inter
ested IN the clamor about her, but
seemingly undisturbed by her own
part in It Orme's eyes did not leave
her face. He was merely one of q
crowd at the curb. unnoted by her,
but when after a time, he became
aware that he was staring. he felt the
blood rush to his cheeks, and he NUT
tered What a boor l ami" And
then. But who can she be? Who can
she be?"
A policeman made his way to the
black car. Orme saw him speak to
the girl: saw her brows knit; and he
quickly threaded his way into the
street, His action was barely con.
scious, but nothing could have stopped
him at that moment
You'll have to come to the station,
miss" the policeman was saying.
But what have done?" Her voice
was broken music.
You've violated the traffic regula-
tions, and made all this trouble, that's
what you've done"
I'm on very important errand.
she began, and"
Il can't help that, miss, you ought
to have had some one with you that
knew the rules"
Her eyes were perplexed, and she
looked about her as If for help. For
moment her gaze fell ON orme, who
was close to the policeman's elbow
Now, Orme had winning and dis
arming smile. Without hesitation, he
touched the policeman on the shout

Pardon me. officer, but this car wal

which modified his first intention K
take offence. "She had no business

1T was either that or collision

She, too, was smiling now.
The policeman pondered. He liked

from her manner and appearance

moment, be more careful another

afternoon and took charge of the

made, was just as gentle as ever with
the men yesterday.

as one of the candidates made a dive
for ball instead of falling on it.
Then Sanford showed him how to
fall on it. He called the whole squad
to him, instead of dividing it up into
four parts, as was done all last week,
and did the directing from the centre,
using as examples Reilly, Baker and

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.

Association football, so popular in
Britain, was started under very fav-
orable auspices last Saturday at Sea-
side Park.
While this form Of football has
been played for several years in Con-
necticut, the games have been played
on Sundays; the reason for this being
that most of the men available were
working Saturday afternoons, but
now, with the Saturday half holiday
so universal, the committee having
the matter in charge are convinced
that a first-class team can be organ
lied to play Saturdays and holidays
only. With this end in view, foot
ball club. will be organized this week
and expect to play their first game
in uniform on Saturday, Sept 23rd
The temporary manager of the
team is Mr.. David Mckenzie, $50 At
lantic street, who will be pleased to
receive the cooperation of the Gale
domains, Park Citys and Thistles for
Saturday afternoon games.

BRESNAHAN GETS IN
HIGH SALARIED CROWD
UNDER NEWEST CONTRACT

ST. Louis, Sept. 19.-Baseball ex-
ports are trying to figure out where
Roger Bresnahan stands for 1912.
with the ST. Louis National League
club runs out this fall. When Bres-
nahan came here in 1909 it was an
nounced that he had signed a three
year contract calling for total sum
of $4,000. That would make his
something like $8,333.33 1-3.
Of course it's nobody's business
except Bresnahan's and the ST. Louis
club what salary he draws, but, new
ertheless the fans are specializing
about the matter. The talk about
possible hitch between Roger and
Mrs. Britton on the salary question
was taken seriously by the bugs"
They know that Bresnahan comes
pretty near being the whole st. Louis
ball club, that Mrs. Britton is we'll
aware of the fact, and that when the
time came for signing up the Duke
he got his price.
Jim McAIeer made some money
for the Washington Americans ~last
year and demanded a $4,000 salary
this year. Did he get it? Sure
Mike.
Hugh Jennings started on drafted
"Chewie' from Baltimore After
winning a couple of pennants, Jen-
nings asked for fancy pay and Detroit
handed him $4,000 contract, with
a percentage of the profits, provided
they reached certain figures. MUIR
ply and Taft, the owners of the Chi
cago Cubs, encouraged Franch Chance
to buy stock in the club and the
Peerless Ones" salary is over $780,
900.
Johnny McGraw is probably the
highest salaried bench manager in the
game. They say McGraw draws
something like $4,000 per annum
from the New York Nationals Connie
Mack owns stock in the Philadelphia
Athletics. Fred Clarke, manager of
the Pittsburg Pirates, is a $4,000
man. Bresnahan's friends figure that
Roger is the most valuable man in
baseball to-day. The chances are
that he will recelve a salary Of at
least $4,000 next year.
