the matter to me. Have you heard at

"Yes, Jeanne telegraphed yesterday
that she Is III. but expects to be able
to come and see me here in q couple

you came I received this note from

What is a calamity!" I asked.

what Is a calamity?" asked.
"Why. this letter! Can't you see
that the business has leaked out?
Who can have sent this?"
Armand. for O fairly intelligent
man. you are not sharp. This letter
gives us the last link We wanted. and
1t comes at the right moment. Listen
carefully. and l will show you which
are the points on which this mystery
turns. My suspicious, I own. were at
first directed against Marcellne. Her
love Of money, and the knowledge that
your DEATH would bring her thirty
thousand dollars, told against her.
When, however, heard of her broth
er's doings I changed my opinion.
Women, my dear Armand. may be
weak and foolish enough to impover.
ish themselves for their brothers, yet
sisterly devotion will not lead them
into crime. A woman will commit q
murder for motives OF her own. and
sometimes. though very rarely. she
loves-for her brother. never.
"This disposes OF Marceline. And
now 1t Is your wife who stands be-
fore us as the accused person. OF her
guilt have little doubt, and that let
ter confirms what other suspicious I
may have entertained. She penned
that note herself. and her attempt to
compromise Marceline tells its own
tale. She wrote It with her left hand.

me q rather big amount. So, one day

"Have you told Marceline OF this?'
YES"
"And your wife?"
"She knows I insured my life. but
believes 1t was done in her name"
1t was nearly eleven o'clock. I
took Armand home with me. and the
next morning conducted him TO a san

taken little villa for my family, tell

that my friend was suffering from

Innes to Connie Mack, sending along
this welcome Information with his

his JOY on learning that his crack little
first baseman would be in good shape.

your uncle's shoulders" said he. smil-
Ing. .'McInnes 10 every bit a. good =
first baseman as Hal Chase; better from
my point Of view. I'd rather have him
UP in pinch. He thinks as fast as
Chase. and In the field. while not as

is a good mark for the other fellows
to shoot at. .H

GERMANY SCHAEFER
ASKS PERMISSION
TO VISIT SPRINGS
Nationals Comedian Would
Take Baths Before
Season Starts.

AS matters now stand, Dutch"
Schaefer seems to be the only member
Of the Washington ball club who Is
anxious to go to Hot Springs for pre-
liminary training. While 1t was report
ed several days ago that Mcbride and
others would go to the Arkansas resort
before reporting at Charlottesville,
Schaefer is the only player who has
asked Griffith for permission to take
the baths.
While he has not given a definite an
swer. Griffith Is inclined to send
Schaefer to Hot Springs, as he believes
the veteran would profit by the experi-
ence.
This business Of having young play
ers go to Arkansas is all wrong, and
will see to 1t that none of our young
sters will be seen there In the spring.
Griffith said today. when l first broke
into fast company ! used TO visit the
springs every season, but it was not
until after had forsaken the idea that
l pitched my best ball. The springs
are all right for the fellows who have
been in the game for. seasons and who
want to take out the kinks, but they
are calculated to weaken the fellows
who are just breaking in or who have
been up here for only three or four
years.

Emerson to Get Chance
With Mack'S Tribe

In Emerson, the old Dartmouth Col.
lege captain and outfielder, Connie
Mack Is thought to have a coming won
der in the garden and a player who will
force his way ahead during the coming
season. Emerson is a big fellow. built
to stand the wear and tear OF major
league baseball, and in his short trial
at the close of last season showed
enough to warrant his being retained.
Connie Mack likes this big Dartmouth
collegian largely because he has nerve.
The boy Is sure that he'll make a hit
every time he goes to the plate. He
tries for everything hit in his direction
when playing the field. On the paths he
shows signs of life and ginger. always
doing his best to, outguess the other fel-
low.
Just on his showing last September
and October many Philly fans feel sure
that Emerson will keep Rube Oldr1ng

clip next season to hold their jobs In
