then send wild kilograms to their
owners, imploring them 10 come TO
Atlanta by the first train and do their
own bidding Nearly all the big
league magnateS come, and President
Galloway, Of the Atlanta club, an
nounces that, while disposed to re-

Something on His Mind.

Something's on his mind" declared
Long Tom in the club house one day
He doesn't seem to want to talk
about baseball much. And ii would
not surprise me" he added. emphat-
iCally. TO learn that that girl that
rushed out on the field and took his
head in her lap is what's troubling
him. Well. I don't know as I can
blame him, al that. She was some
peacherino. you hear me-"
He'll get over IT," remarked Bill
Smith. sagely. "As socr as his leg
gets strong enough for him 70 run
the bases you'll see him up at the
plate with that bat OF his and he'll
forget all about the girl"
A confirmed bachelor himself Long
Tom Morrissey had nevertheless
called the turn. Something was on
Gordon kelly's mind, and. true to
Long Toms prophecy, il was Mil
bred Deyry. The patient tried to
reason things out. but the more he
thought the further he went from a
satisfactory conclusion Mildred now
knew he was a ball player, he argued
10 himself. She did not disapprove
else why did she rush on the ball
field in the presence Of that vast
crowd when she saw he was injured
did she take herself away and leave
no word for him or send him no
word9 Did she want 70 forget him
entirely Was she ashamed OF her
act on the ball field2 He asked him
self these questions and dozens OF
others ike them over and over again
and arrived az nowhere.
The days passed and day by day
Gordon Kelly asked himself his end
less chain OF questions. The sit,ra-
zion became unb sarable. At last they
removed the plaster cast from his leg
and told him a change Of air would
DO him more good than anything but
warned him 70 treat his leg cenle~ly.
He made a last attempt and called

same result as before
He said Goodbye 70 his friends az

why he did so, he pulled a SLOUGH
hat over his eyes and turned up the
collar Of his coat to conceal his iden-
tity, jumped on the tailend Of the
wagon and gave an order to the
driver.
That was the last seen of Gordon
Kelly for some months. He disap-
peared in the dead of night as if from
the face of the earth. For weeks ans
weeks the police authorities. private
detectives employed by the Boston
club and baseball reporters, who be
came amateur sleuths for the time
being, sought for him in vain. The
disappearance Of Gordon Kelly, the
$4,000 ball player, became an un
solved mystery.

There are two sides 10 the ques-
ton. The girl who is looking anx-
iously for the coming Of q lover, and
who grows apprehenslve when he IS
delayed. sees only one side. She takes
no account Of the look Of care. unhap-
vness and discomfort on the face Of

Tho girl has time and opportunity
for culuvattng every talent with

Deery found herself at home,
without knowing exactly how she got
there and not caring, either. She
complained OF a headache and retired
at once to her room. Although the
incidents of the afternoon had we'll
state of great mental excitement. Aft
er a time. however her faculties be-
came more composed and she was
able TO review the scene ia which she
had taken such a conspicuous part.
one thing stood out clearly in her
mind. She had lost her heart TO Cor
don Kelly. But she blushed TO think
how she had lost control Of herself
and she wondered what sort of an
opinion he would have Of her All,
well, il was too late now to change
anything She would not have it
changed, anyway, she told herself.
Late that night, after her father
and mother had retired, she stole
down stairs to the telephone and in
quired Of a newspaper office as to the
condition Of Gordon Kelly. on being
assured that there was nothing more
serious than broken leg and that ne
was resting comfortably she crept
back to her room, sighed happily and
soon after was in the land of dreams.
Galen Deery. who never read the
sporting pages and who was so
wrapped up in his business affairs
that ne didn't know a baseball from
a boxing glove, nearly fell off his
chair at the breakfast table next
morning when he unfolded his news
paper and glanced at the first page
He ate his breakfast at the ungodly
hour Of 1850 every morning, bar Sun
days, and he ate It alone, as his wife
and daughter preferred to snatch
few more winks Of beauty sleep at
that particular hour OF the day.
