Five Years Before,

Five Years Before.
The Woman looked up from her task
of fitting the trunk tray into exact po-
sition Standish noted vaguely that
the effort Of packing had not made her
red or frowsy. Even as she sat there
on the floor beside the nearly-full
trunk, with a litter of garments about
her, her pose was not ungraceful. Yet
her face was oddly tense, and her
clenched hands spoke of self-control
hard to maintain.
No. she said patiently, as though
trying to teach lesson to some rather
stupid child. that isn't what I mean,
at all I mean, its-over. Can't you
understand"
Why, yes" answered Standish, "of
course l understand. Why shouldn't

aunt's house by six o'clock this eve
ming, and you will start for Europe to-
morrow, just as you arranged. And
our wonder-week is ended. And for

hard-worn patience going to pieces.
Wont you understand? l said it was

or for any other time. But for always.
Why do you make me put it this
way? I tried to say it more"

ly, his throat sanded and sore.
The Woman nodded.
But" he protested 1amely, "it-it
can't be. Why, girl, you love me-"
Il thought l did. Oh, was so sure
I did! But little by little, for days,
I've begun to understand. Don't look
at me like that! Do you suppose l
enjoy talking so? 1t has to be said.
And you're not making it a bit easy
for me-"
Forgive me-" he answered, a bitter
note creeping into his heavy voice.
You are wrecking me. You are
smashing all l hold dear. You are
making my future as barren as a
rainy sea. Forgive me for not making
the process a bit easy for you
You have no right to say such
things" she fared. 1T is cowardly.
1t is ungenerous."
Why? Because you are a woman

weren't like any other man I'd ever
known You didn't fall down and wor-
ship me at sight-or pretend to, which
comes to the same thing 1t didn't
seem to interest you that had money
and that other men made fools of
themselves over me. And then your
QuixOtic ideas about politics and gov
eminent and all that sort Of thing, ap-
pealed to me. These and other rea-
sons of the same kind made me think

"Yov didn't think. You were!

fort to save the anchor after the

know it then. l do, now. And per
haps the knowledge that l would not
be allowed to marry you just yet, or
even acknowledge our engagement,
helped strengthen the infatuation.
Then when l found I must go to Eu-
rope so soon, and you begged me to
give you just this one perfect week,
it all seemed so naturalist right-so
beautiful"
Il was wrong!" he cried Il was in
sane. l had no right to suggest it
had no right to let you consent"
But, womanlike, she would not let
him blame himself.
''It was not your fault" she cried
"Or if there were fault at all it was
mine as much as yours. l say you
begged me to come here. You did
not. At your first hint l was as eager
: as you. Perhaps" she added with 2
return of her forced hardness, 1T was
not quite the way one would expect a
Galahad or Quixote to spend a week

THE sM1TH-MURRAY co.

The bodies recovered were found bur fed under the fallen roof and until the debris has been searched, which will occupy several days, the exact extent of the loss cannot be determined.
 The force of workers was increased, this morning, by volunteers from the district but some parts of the mine are still filled with gas and no com pIete exploration can be made!
 Many of the bodies recovered were so mangled that 1t was feared they never can be identified.
 Prepara tions for those widowed and orphaned by the explosion are under way, and for the present they are be- ing looked after by the Coal company.

BoATING ACTIVITIEs

These balmy spring days are caus- ing sailboat and motorboat enthusi- asts in Stratfor to begin getting out the old paint can and putty knife and betaking themselves to the shore where their craft has been lying un- der cover all Winter. Many of the boat owners have completed the work of overhauling their boats and have already launched them. There are a score or more of boats already in the water at the Pootatuck Yacht club and also a number at the Housatonic club.
 Although the boating season is not scheduled to open until Memorial Day, May 30, the advance guard of yachts men always anticipates the opening

 TOMORROW'S BASEBALL GAME
 The Stratford High school baseball team will play the Stratford Outing club team at Knowlton park tomorrow afternoon and the game promises to be one of the best played here so far this season. The Outing club team will be made up of the local members of the club assisted by several Yale boys. The regular Stratford High school team will represent that insti- tuition in the game. Stratford has not seen a real fast game of baseball yet this year so there is every indica- tion that the fans will turn out in force tomorrow afternoon to see the S. H. s. and the S. O. c. clash at Knowlton park.

of matches during the fall and winter

by Captain Pcterman. will engage i'm

a bid for the honors this year and
that matches will be arranged with the

answers. one of them is that the
actual writer's who ground cut the
matter signed by McGraws stars were
more experienced as a rule and used
better Judgment in what they wrote.
Some If them had the experience of
previous worlds series TO warn them.
1t will be remembered that i'm the
last series between the Giants and
the Athletics the man who wrote
Mathewson's accounts of the games
had Matty tell Marquard one day how
10 pitch To keep Frank Baker from
making a home run-and the next day
Baker Combcd a four baser off Ma
thcwson-which created much mer-
riment at Matty's expense. The other
reason for lack of troIble among the
Giants over his play writer stuff is
that McGraw is n different kind of 4
manager, possessed of personality
and vocabulary strong enough to drive
that sort of foolish ideas out Of the
Giant camp. The elements with which
he had to deal were different. But il
would not be surprising, if the real
lactS Wer" known, to ind that Nc
Graw has had more or less trouble in
Preventing the same kind of dissen-
sion. growing out of the same cause.
The abolition of this fad is good
thing for every one concerned, includ-
ing the public only part OF which
ever was deceived SO far as the
writer knows or can ascertain only
one of the many star players who
nave been supposed 20 write worlds
series reports for newspaper actually
did write them. He is Doc White. and
Doc has had several years experience
in actually reporting for newspapers
the spring training trips on the Sec
ond team of White SoX. Tho ball
players who actually writes his own
stories is decidedly careful of what he
writes about the players.

AMERICAN WASTEFULNESS
An Indictment Whose Truth Will
Have to Be Admitted

The American people are the most
wasteful on earth. They waste every
thing in every possible way. They
even waste time Notwithstanding their
| international reputation as dollar
chasers AMI constant hustlers. An
American businessman will charter "a
special train TO get him somewhere
nm hour earlier than regular schedule
and then idle away half day before
| Keeping his appointment Americans
waste their energies by tearing about
like mao over love affairs of little or
| no consequence. They waste timc
getting money ana waste the
money in all sorts o. ridiculous cx-
travag-,nces, for the most part nero
g"otescue display.
But IL is waste OF food that is most
striking. in comparison with the fru-
gal HABITS of our continental cousins.

The truth of this statement is more

CATcHERS ARE TO BLAME.
Should Not Discourage Spitball Heav
erS.


Many young spitDall pitcher has
teen ruined or nearly ruined because
a catcher tries to make him change his
delivery.
Some catchcrs are either too lazy
la back up q spitbali artist or are
afraid Of the fast-breaking shoots. So
they keep signaling for curves or
straight balls until ;he twirler loses
control ct what he already possesses.
OF course we are referring to recruit
twirlcrs in this discussion Older
heads wouldn't take that kind of stuff
from the mcompctcn. backstops.
The hardship can easily he seen
when the same catcher works with
the pitcher practically every game hc
works. After throwing curve after
curve and not using the spitban It
isn't long before his arm begins to
back on him. Especially so when he
isn't "caular curve ball worker.
In addition To this--if the pitcher
makes any complaint-thc catcher
spreads the report the kids splitter
isn't worth hang and doesn't break
enough TO BATTLE the batter. So he
says he has 10 keep calling for the
curve. This is the way he meets the
objections of the recruit. II is gener-
ally a catcher who is afraid of his
own job and hasn't enough principle
TO get out and hustle
il must be discouraging to the
younsstor who believes in his own
ability to throw the spitball and real
ICES he is soncr if he tries anything
else.
