Brancepeth had not the faintest In.
tention of marrying the lady Of his un.
cle's choice, or anyone other than the
lady of his own, but was still unable
openly to disregard that uncle's wishes,
having been entirely dependent upon
him all his life. The young lady in
question, Miss Simplin, had now de-
cided matters for him by clipping with
a poor young squire, in spite of tacit
agree mt with her father that she
would consider favorably the suit of
young Murray. And by thus boldly Sc
curing her own happiness the young
lady had at the same time opened the
way for that of Brancepeth, deed for
which thought, when heard the tale,
she deserved the commentator Of the
community. like good sport. But
this opinion of mine in regard to Miss
A-mplin's escapade did not apparently
jibe with that of .Brancepeth's uncle.
for, as our visitor proceeded with his
tale, we learned that he was indeed
so enraged by the very act which SO
delighted us all that when his nephew
emboldened by the tidings of the
elopement, confided to him his attach
ment for Miss Endicott, his aggrieved
relative had seized with enthusiasm
the chance of proving to the scornful
and fugitive heiress that she was un
regretted. He only awaited the ap
pearance of Agatha First, it seemed, to
take her to his arms and enshrine her
brows with diamond tiara that was to
flaunt defiance and triumph before the
jealous eyes of the poor sQuire's wife
whenever the two might meet.
This exciting crisis in Brancepeth's
romance having developed only that
morning, 1t was friend Murray to his
machine and on his way to Castle
Wyckhoff without loss Of time, and we
were not at all surprised when he
boosted that he had covered the dis
lance between his uncle's place at th
other end of the county and Wyckhol.

Duke Farrell. the old catcher, who
coaches the Yankee pitchers, says Walter
Johnson and Christy Mathewson have as
much speed as Amos Rusic had. and
there are three or four pitchers i'll the
American league as speedy as Rusie
was. Farrell was Rusie's catcher.
"Rusie didn't depend on his speed" :"
said Farrell. ''He had wonderful control
and a good curve ball. Any pitcher who
has speed and control with it should win
most OF his games. Rusie won by mix
ing his great curve ball with his speed
He could put the ball where he wanted
"Rusie used a slow ball once in a
while. too A pitcher with a world of
speed ought to have a good slow ball.
Batters step UP quick against a pitcher
who has lots OF speed, and il he uses a
the batters completely off their balance.
Walter Johnson would be much
greater pitcher il he had better control.
don't mean that Johnson Is wild
man. but his control is nothing out OF
the ordinary.
'Mathewson looks like perfect pitcher.
IIe has speed, control. a slow ball and
has fine head"
Farrell is a regular old dude. He Is the
only man in the league who carries q
cane. He wouldn't even go from his room

I've carried stick so long I'd be
