Lefty George. who cross fires with

truth, hot off the bat from Manager
Wallace, and sworn to and attested by

Somebody gave the manager the

came to Wallaces rescue.

worlds champion w3nker. He could
give the cutest, most knowing little

season was over we voted him first

you said you were going to spend all
your money on some girl"
The millionaire took chestnut from
his pocket He held it high above his
head and the little dog that had been
yelping at his heels fixed his eyes on
it. Blair poised it, then threw it as
far as he could. 1t sped through the
air and the terrier ran like mad across
the park.
Il like girls awfully, Gordon, and
when l find the right one. why, then
I'm going to feel what bully thing
it is to be rich"
Lord Galorey groaned aloud.
My dear chap!" he exclaimed.
The spell of the day, the fragrant
beauty of the time and place and
hour were clearly upon Dan Blair.
Lord Galorey was sympathetic to him.
The terrier came tearing back with
the chestnut held between his thick
jaws. Dan bent down to take the nut
from the dog and wrestled with him
gently.
Swell little grip he's got. Nice old
pup! Let 1t 90 now!" And he threw
the nut far again. and as the terrier
ran once more Blair thrust his hands
down in his pockets and began softly
to whistle the tune Of Mandalay.
He said slowly. going back to his
subject: 1T must be great to feel
that fellow can give her jewels like
the Duchess of Breakwater's, ropes OF

'and fine old place like this now,

OF the Elizabethan house, with its
softened gables and its banked ter
races Possibly his vivid imagination
pictured ''some nice girl there wait

They had come up to the terrace BY

gush of water from rock, had ceased.
His face was placid. He didn't realize
what he had said.

the Duchess of Breakwater appeared.
She greeted them severely, and Lord
Galorey heard her say under her
breath to Dan:
You promised to be back to drfve
with me before dinner. Dan. Did you
forget?"
And as Galorey left the boy to make
his peace, the first smile of amuse-
ment broke over his face. He felt that
the duchess had between her and her
capture of Dan Blair's heart the elu-
sive picture of some mice girl"-not
much perhaps, but it might be very
hard to tear away the picture of the
ideal that was ever before the blue
eyes of this man who had fortune to
spend on her!

called his inspired candor, answered:
