BASEBALL BENEFIT
Having been successful with a
theater performance and picnic,
the Federated Newspaper Trades
have arranged a ball game for
next Sunday afternoon at 3 80, in
Cubs park, between teams of
pressmen and wagon drivers. The
procteds will go into the strike
benefit fund. -.
In addition to the ball game,
which will be hummer in itself,
other features will be provided.
Cody's band will play throughout
the afternoon, and before the
game begins Babe Mccain, a
year-old girl, will practice with
the two teams.
Miss Mccain is a great fielder,
and has some wing, though she
doesn't like to be called Chick
en- She is one of the best girl
ball players in the country.
Bugs" Raymond, ex-Giant,
will probably pitch for the press
men. The bug will be on hand, at
any rate.
The drivers claim there will be
nothing to the game, as they are
used to driving EN- out" but be-
iieVe US, the pressmen are right
there when it comes to handling
rollers. :,
Tickets, which are on sale at
Tom Murray's, are Is cents each.

it in obedience to some higher law, is
perhaps to pay oneself the most fat
tering Of compliments. There was a
satisfaction to her soul in this which
was yet denied him.
Her action was quite different from
his. She was putting away happiness
which she might have had in compli-
ance with a higher law than that
which bids humanity enjoy. 1t was
lattering to her mind. In his case,
it was otherwise; he had no con-
seriousness that he was a victim Of
misplaced trust, Of misinterpreted ac-
ton. He thought the woman for
whom he was putting away happiness
was almost as worthy, If infinitely less
desirable, as the woman whom he now
loved.
Every sting Of outrage, every feel
ing Of shame, every fear of disloyalty,
scourged him. She could glory in it;
he was ashamed, Inundated, broken.
She heard him savagely walking up
and down the other room, re~stlessly
impelled by the same Erinyes which
Of old scourged Orestes; the violator
of the laws of moral being drove him
on. These malign Eumenides held
him in their hands. He was bound and
helpless, rage as he might in n
moment, pray as he did in another. no
light came into the whirling darkness
of his torn, tempest tossed, driven
soul. The irresistible impulse and the
immovable body the philosophers puz-
zled over were exemplified in him.
Whilst he almost hated the new wom-

ideas and his ideals, or he must inev-
itably take the woman.
How frightful was the battle that
ragged within his bosom! Sometimes
In his despair he thought that he
would have been glad if he and she
had gone down together in the dark
waters before all this came upon him.
The floods of which the heavens had
emptied themselves had borne her to
him. oh if they had only swept him
out of life with its trouble, its trials,
its anxieties, its obligations, its impos-
sibilities. If they had gone together!
And then he knew that he was glad
ever for the torture, because he had
seen her, because he had loved her,
and because she had loved him.
He marveled at himself curiously,
and in a detached way. There was a
woman who loved him, who had con-
fessed 1t boldly and %innocently, there
was none to say him nay. The woman
who stood between had been dead five
years. The world knew nothing, cared
nothing; they could go out together;
he could take her, she would come. On
the impulse he turned and ran to the
door and beat upon it. Her voice babe
him enter, and he came in.
Her heart yearned to him. She was
shocked, appalled, at the torture she
saw upon his face. Had he been laid
upon the rack, and every joint pulled
from it's sockets, he could not have
been more white and agonized.
Il give up" he cried. What are
honor and self respect to me? l want

"GooD STUFF
A Confirmed Coffee Drinker Takes 10
Postum.

A housewife was recently surprised
when cook served Postum instead Of
coffee. She says:

the same old trouble as before.

Postum-said her folks used it and
liked It in place Of coffee. We got a
package but | told her | did not be-

was a great coffee drinker.
ITO my surprise he called for a
third cup, said it was good stuff' and
wanted to know what 1t was. We
have used Postum ever since and both
feel better than we have in years.
MY husband used to have bad

spells with his stomach and would be
sick three or-four days, during which
time ne could not eat or drink any
thing. But since he gave up coffee
and took to Postum, he has had no
more trouble, and we now fully be-
iieve IT was all caused by coffee.

Harry Clotworthy, who is an expert
on military affairs, entered the
dining room Of the National Press
club n morning and carried with
him a appetite. Having
eaten one breakfast, which consisted

he meant by being absent from his
post.

The CHALLENGE Of the Ram.

Mr.. James Armstrong sat at his
desk before the west window in his
private o In one Of the tallest
buildings in Denver. His suite Of Of
fees was situated on one Of the TOP
floors, and from 1t he had a clear ana
unobstructed view of the mighty
range over the intervening house tops
and other buildings. The earth was
covered with snow. 1t had fallen stead
lily through the night, but with the
dawn the air had cleared and the sun
had come out brightly, although it was
very cold.
Letters, papers, documents, the de.
mands Of a business extensive and var
led, were left unnoticed. He sat with
his elbow on the desk, his head on his
hand, looking moodily at the range.
In the month that had elapsed since
he had received news Of Enid Matt
