was waiting toffnd out where the sup
ply had come from. There was no
saloon near the depot. and he was sure
that Hank had nothing when he came
to work in the morning. So he decid-
ed to wait and watch. He went
through the freight room at noon while
Hank was out for his dinner and
found nothing. The station was badly
crowded with freight and express
packages, but he could find no trace of
any bottles. For two or three days the
same thing occurred, and Barker be-
came more curious than ever. Hank
had not yet struck his usual gait He
was always sober enough to do bis
work and showed his face with great
promptitude every morning at o'clock.
He could not be getting anything at
home. for Barker had been paying his
wages to Mrs. Jones. and she declared
she had given him nothing to spend
that had not been accounted for. Yet
it was plain that he was drinking.
One morning Barker was disturbed
by the fourth visit Of DR.. Boden to the
station.

things wrong here. That package
ought to be here. 1t ought to have been
here long ago. 1t must be somewhere
out in the freight room. They say at

Who said Harry Lord. the Chicago

Whoever did would soon change their
minds II they watched him perform at
last station for the White Sox this sea-
son. True, last year he was away of
form and was shifted to the outfleld by
Manager Callahan. Since the start of
the 1918 race Harry has been putting

In the fielding line. His stick work
also seems to have improved. A few
years ago Lord was considered the best

Aprons for wear in the kitchen should

of gingham, percale or white lawn; but,
however made. they should completely
cover the skirt and should have a
large bib. A ruffle about the bottom
Of the apron protects the hem Of the
dress. as it catches and wards off any
thing which is spilled or dropped.
Kitchen aprons need not be unattrac-
tive because they are big and service
able. They can be made Of white self
figured percale or madras, edged with
blue or pink or any other color. A
folded bias lawn band can be folded
over the edges Of the apron like a
binding or scalloping braid, which IL
sold In many colors and styles and can
be stitched under neatly turned hem.
