I walked away"
You are a good little boy. Now
let's go out and receive our guest"
They went out on the porch.
"Howdy, Gordon" was Mildred's
greeting. Elmer has found us out.
He knows we call each other by our
first names. What's on the tapis for
today?"
Il propose that we go to my place.
There's some things there that might
interest Elmer-the ball field, for in

Gee whiz, you got ball feld?"
exclaimed the lad
Certainly I have, and If you be-
have yourself and promise not to
tease Mildred, maybe, you and I will
have little game Of tossing the ball
around"
"Oh, hurry Mildred; let's get
started" cried Elmer.
A Regular Ball Field.
They We're soon at the granite posts
| that marked the entrance to the big
! estate. The private driveway leading
to the mansion was nearly mile and
a half long When they emerged from
the forest of trees and Elmer saw
the big granite mansion for the first
time his eyes bulged in surprise. Cor

give the lad a good view of 1t and
then turned off toward the north
| About a quarter Of a mile further on
! they came to the ball field, which was
| in a valley sheltered from the wind
| Elmer went in ecstasies and Mildred
| could not express an exclamation Of
delight at the particularly neat ar
rangement of things. The diamond
was laid out in the regulation man
ner. The field was very large and
was bordered by a wire fence. Away
out in the outfleld a steam lawn
mower was at work while Steve,

were expected" said Gordon, but
they will be through in a few min
Utes. l have only seen one other bail

! don't believe there is a more perfect
field in the world than this is"
1T certainly looks lovely" was

where you learned to play baseball?"
Right here" replied Gordon, smil-

workmen around the place to play
with you?'
mo, I didn't"
DO you mean to say you learned
to play baseball out here all alone %
"All alone, except for little aid
from Steve"
How in the world could you do
Iit?" demanded Mildred.
Gordon laughed.
That's what all the reporters in
Atlanta kept asking me-" he replied.
The answer is simple enough I'll

Gordon S Story.

Nearly hundred years ago, Mil
dred, my greatgrandfather, Darcy
Kelly, came to this country when a
young man and settled in New York
He secured a position in one of the
very few banks in New York and
before he died he practically owned
the institution. Darcy Kelly laid the
foundation of the Kelly fortune His
only son, my grandfather. succeeded
to the business, and he proved to be
one of the ablest financiers of his
time. He was seldom heard of in
the big deals that followed the Civil
War, but he figured largely in most
of them, and when he died, about
forty years ago, he was one of the
five wealthiest men in the whole coun-
try though none outside of his own
family suspected it,
He left three sons and my father
was the youngest of the three. My
father was educated abroad and af-
ter he finished his regular college
career he took special courses in ar
chitecture, construction and struCt-
ural building. He Travelled extensive
ly abroad. His tastes ran to music
and the fine arts and he had no in
ciinations for the banking business
His two brothers. my unCles, had long
since entered the institution of which
my grandfather was the head and had
developed remarkable traits as finan-
ciers one of them went to London
and took charge of the foreign branch
of the establishment. while the Other

grandfather died he assumed the reiny
of management Both my Uncle An

Uncle Peter who lives in London
