Mildred heard the receiver at the
other end slammed on the hook in
violent fashion.
Dads In an awful tantrum," she
said, seriously. What shall we do?"
Gordon drew her down BY his side
and talked low and earnestly 10 her
for a long time. The girl cried gently.
but at last a smile shone through her
tears and she put her arms around

Mildred and Gordon went to Chat
tanooga next morning. With them
were Mrs Sheppard and Elmer and
Gray Gordon's superintendent, who
had come up from Atlanta and VINO
continued on to Chattanooga with the
party
At 4 o'clock that afternoon Gordon
and Mildred were quietly married at
the residence of a minister. At 3

Elmer returned to Pew Creek.

Next day Mr.. and Mrs Gordon KEEL

don registered at the hotel as Mr.
and Mrs Kelly, Ga" Two weeks
later they were in New York, on the
morning of the day the Red SOx and
the White Sox were to meet in the
play-off of the triple tie. Gordon
asked Mildred If she would like to
attend the game. Mildred would be
delighted. At a very fancy price Cor
don secured a box, that turned out TO
be directly behind the Red Sox bench
Who could remain passive under the
stress Of that game? AS inning after
inning wore on, Gordon found he was
| hardly able to control himself. He
longed to be out on the field to help,
if possible. the red Legged players he
did not know-to help the club that
had paid the unheard of price Of $780,
GOO for his services. Mildred noticed
his agitation.

smile do you crave a piece of
cheese p"
You've hit it, Mildred" he replied.
I'D Ike to get just one good whack

The last half of the last inning
came-the Boston clubs last chance,
Two Of the Red Sox were safe on the
bases and Cady was striding to the
plate
IF that man reaches first Mildred,
the bases win be full and Stahl hasn't
got a pinch hitter left" said Gordon
eXcitedly.
4 don't know what you mean, Cor
don, but l infer that Mr. Stahl will be
in desperate straits"
That's just 1t. Mildred. Gee, I'd
like to break up that game!"
His wife looked at him lovingly.

l started. I felt almost as if my
friend had been reading my mind. For
day and night. for a week past, I had
been thinking just what he put into
words: That If life had been kind
enough to me to give me the heart of a
woman like Sally Spencer would
prize my good fortune too highly to risk
it by looking at another woman.

She was giving one of her hourly

dropped her dolls and upset chair and

at her heels. and string of dolls

She came straight into my arms, and

DO you mean it, Honeybunch?" he
exclaimed.
Her eyes sparked as she nodded
brightly.
Gordon hurriedly left the box and
leaned over the rail that separated
the structure from the field.
Wagner" he cried to the despOnd-
ent captain of the Red SoX, who
stood near the bench.
Something in the mans manner
made Wagner obey the summons
"I am Gordon Kelly" said Gordon,
talking fast. Il just arrived to-day.

cried, Leonard" and motioned that

the dugout by the Red Sox captain.

Kelly at the Bat.
Off came Nunamaker's shirts,
pants, stockings and shoes; off came
Gordon's coat, vest, trousers and
shoes. In less than two minutes Cor
don was in a Red Sox uniform for
the first time in his life. Jumping
out of the dugout, he selected a bat,
and. taking two others with him,
strobe toward the plate, swinging the
three over his shoulders, just as the
megaphone BOYS shouted:
Gordon Kelly batting in place of
Leonard"
Away out on the center-field
bleachers there arose ar ear-split-
ting yell. 1t was from the throat of
Whisky, who had recognized the
stride Of Gordon even before the
megaphones announced the name.
The crowd took up the yell, and one
long, loud cheer rent the air.
The excitement under which Cor
don had labOred vanished as soon as
he felt the smooth, round bat in his
hands, and he walked calmly and
