John Pascoe never did. He had
the Welsh obstinacy in his ma
ture, which makes mountains of
molehills. Each waited for the
others advances. After three
months Mary married VIII Stur-
gis, capable, middle-aged con
tract miner. He was kind, when
sober, but he was seldom that.
John had heard sinister descrip-
tionS of their relationship. He
had done all but strike her; and
if he had not done that, it was be-
cause he knew that the first blow
would never be repeated.
Mary would have left him long
since. She could not bear to
think that John would know how
disastrous her adventure had
been. She hid her wounds and
passed, in the eyes of her little
world, as docile, submissive
wife.
John Pascoe knew the Penny
man mine like book, for he had
toiled in its multitudinous CALLER

of refinement, had made him one

He seldom met Sturgis. The. lat
ter could not have been ignorant
of his affair with Mary, but his
was too coarse a mind to feel any
resentment; on the contrary, he
gloated secretly over his success,

that day had she set eyes on
John. He had often wondered
whether life held any hope for

martyrdom. He knew that she,

did not speculate; it was a night

Mary had asked, and John Pascoe

too, that her humanity would re-

Secretary of Giants Points Out
Room for 5000 Persons,
a Most Tempting
Bait.

Ne-y York may get the Army Navy
football game next fall; will get 1t. in
fact, il the Naval Academy authorities
can be convinced that the transporta-
tion problem of getting the two bait
talions Of midshipmen 10 and from An
napols in one day can be solved 10
their satisfaction.
This happy piece of news 10 the many
persons I'm this city deeply interested in
foot ball in general, and the Army and
Navy in particular. leaked out yester-
day. when representatives Of the United
States Military Academy. at West
Point. and the United States Naval
Academy a Annapolis, came here to
inspect the Polo Grounds and TO confer
OF the Giants.
No final decision was reached. bat
from what could he learned the chances
are all in favor of this most spectacu-
lar Of all football games being trans
ferred from Franklin Field Philadel-
phia. To the Polo Grounds here. The
insistent and growing demand for more
seats than can he supplied in Philadel-
phia opened the way for negotiations,
and the New York club made q propo-
sition for the use Of the big stadium
under the lee Of Coogan's Bluff which
could not help but prove attractive 10
the representatives of the two acad-
emies.
Mr.. Foster explained that there verl
seats at the Polo Grounds for $1,000
persons and that the club would be
glad 10 build temporary stands, if nee
essary. so that accommodations could
be provided for 5000 persons. The
Philadelphia, is hardly more than II.
UOO at the most. so hat almost double
the number could watch the battle OF
brains and Drawn if the game weie
played in this city.
Bio Demand for Tickets.
The problem of supplying the demand
for tickets has ever been difficult one
at West Point and Annapolis. Many
officers who applied for seats We're
forced to accept disappointment. az
under the arrangement in Philadelphia
each academy received one-third OF toe
tickets and Pennsylvania the other
third. Only the tickets allotted "a
PENNSYLVANIA were sold. as the Others
were distributed free. with those who
contributed to the athletic associations
AT West Point and Annapolis getting
the preference.
PENNSYLVANIA has not made ii COM
mercial enterprise. as the money re-
ceived for its share Of the seats was
turned over to aid societies of the army
and navy after expenses had been DE-
ducted. The chief purpose OF the
Ouakers in demanding a certain pro-
portion OF the seats was to satisfy the
demands of those who do so much tC
support football in Philadelphia. Under
the circumstances the New York club
is able to make far better proposition
as To the allotment of seats. and, In
any case, almost double the number OF
tickets will go TO each academy.
There are other reasons and good
ones why the game should be played in
this city Chief Of these Is better hote
accommodations. Many officers who
travel miles to see the game have
