Patting Him In the Face.

The two colored brothers, were ap-
parently about to come to blows. Rhe-
torical threats had been flying fast.
"Niggah, don't mess wild me" warned
one, cause when yo' do yo' sure is

guess at the rings. What would Mrs
Rawn like; and what would about
suit Miss Rawn?''
She bent above the desk, her eyes
afame at the sight Of the brilliance
that lay before her.
81 should say your choice is excel
lent, Mr.. Rawn," said she at length
gently, controlling herself. "The pen
dant is beautiful, set with the emer
aids. And as for the rings, I'd take
this one, l believe, with the two steel
blue stones"
"How much?" said John Rawn, turn
ing to the grave and gray salesman.
"The two pieces would cost you
twenty-eight thousand dollars, sir,
the latter replied, gravely and imper
sonally.
Miss Delaware" said John Rawn
taking from his pocket his personal
check book, "oblige me by making out
a check for that amount. Bring it in
to me directly-and have the boy cal
my car"
When John Rawn ascended the
steps Of his mansion house that night
he fairly throbbed with the sense oi
his own self-approval. There was that
in his pocket which, he thought, wheT
worn b. the wife Of John Rawn al
any public place Of display, would in
dicate what grade of life he, John
Rawn, had shown himself fit to oc
cupy. He lost no time in summoning
his wife, and with small ado put II
her extended hand the little mass o1
trembling, shivering gems. She gazet
at them almost stupefied.
"Well, well!" he broke out, "can't
you say anything? What about it
They're yours"
"Oh. John!" she began. "John!
What do you mean? How could you
how could L"
For one moment he looked at her
and she shrank back from his gaze
But Rawn's anger turned to self-pity
my own wife won't wear my dia
monds," said he.
She came now and put her arms
about his neck, the first time in years
but not in thankfulness. She looked
straight into his eyes. "John!" she
said. ooh, John!" There was all o.
woman's anguish in her eyes, in he1
voice.

"And it's enough" cried the beard
ed man, his voice harsh, strident with
his emotion. We've got to have it!
Let's stick, let's stick, fellows! They'll
never shake Us of. There is abso-
lutely no limit to this thing"
"Is that still the way you feel, JIM"
asked STANDBY from his end of the
table.
Eyes, it is; how about it, gentle
men?" answered Ackerman's deep
voice.
His eyes turned from one to the
other, and found no dissent, although
the air of each man was earnest, al
most somber
"Shake hands, then" called out the
bearded man with enthusiasm, man
who had swayed millions by the force
Of his own convictions before that
time
Let's all shake hands, then, gentle
men," said John Rawn.
They did so, each man reaching out
his hands to his neighbor; Halsey, Of
course, stepping back as not belong
ing to that charmed circle.
"Move we 'journ," said Ackerman.
The president dropped the gavel on
the table top.
Rawn finally esca ping from the
crowd of importunate reporters who
waited in the halls, at length broke
away to go to his rooms. He met
Halsey in the lobby. The latter had
in his hand telegram, which shook
somewhat as he extended it.

him with a frown, what is it."
He read: Charles S. Halsey, The
Palatial, New York: Your child is a
girl. The mother is doing we'll. You
would best return at once. There
is a slight deformity. You must share
this grief with the mother when she

Rawn dropped the message to the

WAGNER KING
OF WALLOPERS
ON DIAMOND
Dutchman Has Batted 300 or
Better for II GOnSeCu-
tive Years
LAJOIE IS,SECOND
BEST OF HITTERS

The greatest halter Of all times is
Hans Wagner His record OF seven
ieen consecutive years service in the
major leagues, batting 800 or better,
aas never been approached let alone
squalled, in. the history of the national
pastime
Next to Wagner's record comes that
Of old Pop Anson. the old Chicago
leader. Adrian went twelve conse-
cutise years hitting over the 800
mark. The next. best mark is held
by Lajoie the great Cleveland Sec
ond baseman lie has been in the
big leagues eleven years. and has bat
ted 300 every one of those seasons.
The demon Dutchman was given
his first professional baseball en-
pagemcnt by George Morcland, the
well-knoWn Pittsburgh statistician. In
1885, at Steubenville. o. The next
year Hans played With Patterson. so
he really has battcd over the 800
mark professionally for more than
seventeen years in row. When
Wagner hrst signed with Steubenville
be only got S35 a month. They say
that he gets twice as much a day now.
There We much speculation as to
whether Hans would keep up his good
work during the past season For a
time he batted below the 300 notch.
and some experts predicted that the
wonderful veteran had gon back to
such an extent that he wouldu't be
able to end the season with a per-
centege of 800 However, Hans clos
Cd the year In a blaze of glory. ana
when the curtain fell he was hitting
them out as OF yore but just managed
to sneak IN the Hall of Fame with
mark of 300.
Wagner is like Tonnyson's brook
and he promises TO 60 on playing In
the big leagues and hitting 800 or
better for many years to come. He
has already announced that he will
be back on the job for the Pirates
again next season, so 1t looks as
though like a clnch to bet that when
the season of 1914 ends be will have
hatted eighteen straight years in the
big leagues for 500
Although laioic has gone along
twelve wears now whaling the pill for
200. still he has gotten along in years
to such an extent that he is not likely
To- -reacch Wagner's riark. In fact il
Is expected that Wagner will remain
in the game juet as many more years
as Lajoie.
Ty Cobb Is the only present day

Saturday Football Game From

COME TO TOWN WITH
MANY GAMES WON

Olympia has made great prepara-
tions for the game tomorrow With
the United States Marine Corps at
the Union street grounds. The Ma
rines have unique record. having
participated in 16 games losing but
2 and tieing 3. The Union Club Of
Phoenixville defeated the Marines by
the score of to 0, Gay the former
Ursinus player scoring the touchdown
in the last few minutes of play. It is
remembered that Gay was fatally in
jured in the next game that he play
ed and died. The other defeat record
ed against the Marines was by the
battleship Maine team, the champions
Of the United States navy
The Olympia eleven will practice
this evening in preparation for the
contest and Coach Traynor has per-
fected many new plays that he will
drill into his proteges. Mr.. Traynor
has attended all the big games played
in the East, and on Saturday the
spectators viii have an opportunity
of seeing the Olympia team use many
OF the plays that made the Dartmouth
eleven the most feared eleven in the
country.
Local followers of the gridiron
game have always complained that
Wilmington teams used the mass
plays entirely too often, but in this
particular instance, the Olympia team
cannot be classed in that list, as on
Thanksgiving Day. the local team re-
lied on the pass and long end runs
entirely, and the same program will
be the rule tomorrow in the game
against the Marines.
The United States Marine Corps is
the most expensive attraction brought
to Wilmington for a few years, and il
is hoped the football enthusiasts OF
this city will turn out in great num-
bers. Manager Furman G.. Cole an
nounces that the game will be called
at 3 o'clock.
