Danny Long
Doesn't Care

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30
When it comes to being a real
philosopher few have anything
on Manager Danny Long of the
San Francisco Seals. Although
four of the clubs mainstays are
still holding out for more money,
Danny refuses to become "het up"
over the matter.
Whats the use of worrying?"
he says. Just take it from me,
these men will be right on the
job when we start our spring

have had his own way with Lester
in any ring, but the big dinge is
travelling along in years and it
remains to be seen just what he
has left.
One thing is certain, however,
Lester will be up against the hard
est game of his brief career.
Should he win from Martin it may
be assumed that it will take a
world-beater to stop him. provided
he goes along with the careful
nursing of Tommy Burns.
When the men come together at
the Glide rink Wednesday night
the disparity in the heighth will
be noticed. Lester Is not a tall
man by any means, while Denver
ed looms up over six feet.

CHAPTER X
Discomfort

Discomfort.
In the tallest of t. e city'S sky
scrapers, in the highest story of
said building, were, as the letters
on the ground-glass door an
nounced, the law offices of Paul
Remington. The term law Of
fees" was perhaps a misnomer.
For upon Paul had fallen the dis
trust which the business public
often feels for the political lawyer.
and the bulk of his practice con-
sisted principally in caring for the
legal end of Bob's business ven
lures and in helping their politi-
cal friends out of police-court
scrapes.
Yet these offices were not
place of idleness. For at one end
was a ten-by-twelve apartment.
furnished with a roll-top desk, one
revolving-chair and two cane-bot-
tom affairs called chairs by cour-
.teys and apt to limit the visitors
call to purely business length,
This, denominated by Paul 1.-THE
engine-room," was Bob's office,
where, hand on throttle, he direct
ed his political machine.
The rest of the suite, equipped
by Bob's money and Paul's taste,
was so arranged as to resemble an
office as little as possible. Mas
siye black oak chairs awaited the
visitor. Thick velvet carpets ca
ressed his feet. Some excellent
etchings and rows of calf-bound
lyCt mi LOTT hA nf, L.
of a library. Only the presence
of Miss Myrtle Jones, stenograph-
er, reminded you that this was a
legal center. Miss Jones was not
the least decorative feature of the
office-which was why Paul en-
gagged her. Moreover, Miss Jones
was distinctly aware of this fact.
Toward the appreciative Paul she
was the eager helper. Toward
Bob, of whom she stood greatly in
fear and whose acrid humor she
could not understand, she pre-
served a primly professional atti-
tude.
On the particular morning
some two weeks after the conven-
ton, Miss Jones was early at her
post And very pretty, too. There
really was no reason for such
early industry. But Miss Jones
wisely reasoned that the sooner
your work was finished the more
time you would have for-for
more work perhaps? She raised
her head with a start, as the door
opened-and dropped it in disap-
pointment as Bob entered with a
curt greeting.
Later Bob summoned her to his
office.
will you take letter, Miss
Jones?"
AS, head bent over her note
book, she took down his words,
Bob smiled sardonically at her,
elaborate Golf and careful toilet.
When things went wrong, as they
occasionally did even with him,
his i'll humor took the form of an
ugly, singing pleasantly. The
night previous he had lost a trick
In the campaign, through treach-
cry. And he was troubled, al
though he would not admit it to
himself, over another matter.
You may conclude with the
customary lie of yours truly
That's all, Miss Jones'"
She started to leave. and then
paused, summoning her courage
to ask the question that had been
trembling on her lips for three
days.

"Thank you, no." she said in
differently. Il approve of your
loyalty, of course. But l saw your
friend this afternoon and, frank
ly, 1 don't think l should like
him. l don't care to meet"
She stopped suddenly, and both
looked up startled, feeling anoth-
er's presence. 1t was Bob who
had come into the box, unnoticed
by them. To both Paul and Flea
nor, it was as though a cloud had
passed across the face of the sun.
There was an awkward pause
while Bob, standing motionless in
the rear of the box, looked stead
lily at Eleanor with coldly hostile
eyes. And Eleanor, startled but
not disconnected, returned his
with a glance into which she
strove to put amusement.
Paul sought to take into his
hands what threatened to be a sit
uation.
Its fate, Mrs. Gilbert" he
said with a laugh which he tried
to render easy. Let me present
our next mayor. Mrs. Gilbert,
Bob, has just apowed her alliance
with the enemy. We must convert
her."
WHY" Bob answered crudely,
without changing his regard.
And somehow, as he said it,
Bob's monosyllable carried a sting
far sharper than it's crude surface
irony. 1t put her strangely on the
defensive; and heretofore, with
men, Mrs. Gilbert had always
been mistress of the situation. She
tried to answer with indifference.

steadily.
but Bob doesn't make war on
women" Paul interrupted with
nervous eagerness.
Too small game, I suppose, -
she said with the hooking upward
infection that had so often put
men to flight.
1T has never been necessary, -
Bob responded, unmoved by her
sarcasm.
And Eleanor, beaten, gave up
the battle of eyes. Yet there was
defiance in her laugh, as she said,
Mr.. McAdoo would be as mer-
CHESS to a woman as to any other
enemy, fancy. But / must 60"
This time Paul did not protest.
The two men followed her ST.
lently out of the theater to the
street. AS she was about to step
into the automobile, she gathered
her courage for last effort.
1t has been a very interesting
afternoon. 1 thank you-both.'
She gave Bob a fleeting, knocking
look and turned to Paul. Come
and see me, Mr.. Remington. We
will discuss politics. Good after
noon, Mr.. McAdoo." And she was
rapidly whirled away.
Paul drew a deep breath. 81

She's the DEVIL" Bob growled
Paul did not answer this out
burst.
Lets have a drink" he sug-
gested. I'm limp as a rag. You've
got to break over this time, old
man"
They entered a nearby saloon.
When they had poured their
whisky, Paul raised his glass.
TO the next mayor!"
"Luckd" Bob said briefly. "And
wisdom!" he added.
We'll not quarrel over that,
Bob" Paul said gravely. And they
drank.
Safe in the seclusion of the
hooded automobile, Eleanor Gil

ment, half in resentment,

The chances were they'd win defeat

Three men were hurt and two were

runs In just two innings more.
