games last year, being given
plenty to do in the training camp.
Pennock pitched nine innings
against the recruits yesterday and
held them to seven hits. Bender,
Coonbs and Plank are taking it
easy, and Mack expects them to
stand the strain of bearing the
burden in another campaign. The
elongated winner of remnants
wants to be prepared for all emer-

Thank goodness remarked
President Wilson while discuss

pearing Mason and Dixon's line,
I'VE are getting to a point where
prejudice and partisanship don't
rule our opinions.

woman friend of mine in Georgia
who was a stanch Presbyterian.
At the time of the Boer war she
declared she knew the Beers were
in the right and England in the
wrong because the Beers were all
Presbyterians and the English all
Episcopalians."

LaSalle, c., B. & O., c., M. &. st. P. Re
r. and nearly 100 others are glad
to pay $1.25 per local per month even
while paying for the manual, because
the local use of the automatic P. B.
x. pays for the cost, as it relieves the
P. B. X. operators of all the local calls.
Sears, Roebuck & Co. has an auto
matte system of it's own eight years
old, of Ats stations, that has handled
as high as $4,000 calls per day during
the days before Christmas, when big
rush orders were being gotten out.
Montgomery Ward & Co. has about
100 automatics that average So calls
per day per phone and cost less than
one-twelfth of cent call to handle.
They are going to buy their local
system from the l. T. & T. Co. before
it sells out, because if torn out by
the Bell Co. it would disorganize their
methods of handling their business.
Many others are doing likewise, and
these systems will be maintained in
repair by the service bureau of the
Telephone Users Association for
those who are its members.

service. No operators are required.
If you want to call some individual,
such as Mr.. Carroll at Armour & Co.,
his local number is 323 If you want
to call him from another telephone
at the Armour plant or offices you
just lift the receiver and turn 1928
on, the dial, and instantly his bell is
ringing. If you are out in town and
you wish to call 1923 at Armour's you
lift the receiver and turn 709-323 on
the dial and instantly Mr.. CAROLS
bell is ringing, taking less than six
seconds for the whole operation, or
just about what it takes to get the
P. B. X operator to answer you on a
manual system.
If Mr.. Carroll or any other of the
hundred or more people who have
automatics at Armour & Co.'s want
to call out from Armour they simply
lift the receiver and turn No. 2, which
instantly connects them with trunk
line so they can call any number
just as would be done from an indi-
vidual automatic phone. These auto
matte private exchanges can and will
be used instead of manual private
connections here in Chicago, because
they will save so much time and be
so convenient for local service that
many firms will buy them and put
them, in, then demand connection
with the Chicago exchange service
in place of having old operator-at-
tended boards.
A firm such as Armour & Co. could
put in few more automatic phones,
so that there would be one wherever
there is manual phone, get instan-
taneous local service without having
to call an operator. could call the
Yards exchange direct by turning
the two on the dial, and only would
need operators to distribute the in
bound calls. Think of the conven-
fence, and decide if such a boon can

The priest and the two aldermen
waited in the saloon for two hours
while the locksmith drilled away ST.
lently. The street door was closed;
the Grape still hung from the handle
that had never gone unattached so long
at time before, the curtains were
drawn, and outside the crowds forever
shuffled by on the sidewalk, all obllv-
ious to the little drama Of hopes and
fears that was unfolding its cross.pur
poses within. The saloon was dark,
and an electric bulb glowed to shed
light for the locksmith. The two al
dermen pulled their cigars In silence
save for an occasional whisper, one
with another. Father Daugherty's
gaunt form leaned against the dusty
bar, strangely out Of keeping with
such a scene, though the saloons in
his parish knew him. especially or

pay for the burying OF him. Wnen
the debts the law prefers had been
paid, Annie would have scarce pen
ny. The world might preserve re-
spectful and sympathetic attitude dur
ing the few exciting days when 1t was
paying its last conventional tributes to
the dead man, but it kept itemized ac-
counts meanwhile, and 1t could not
long pretend to have forgotten mate
rial things. It would present its bills,
and they must be paid. Annie would
have hardly a cent to meet them with
And Father Daugherty knew, even If
Annie did not know, what the world
would do then.
Yet he smiled, though he shook his
| head, as he thought Of the free-hand-
ed, discriminating generosity that
had been akin to the improvidence Of
Jimmy's nature. And now he had but
one more duty to perform; the safe
in Jimmy's saloon had not been open
ed. No one, not even the bartender,
knew the combination, and Father
| Daugherty had a locksmith to drill the
lock. The gang had attended jim
my's funeral in black neckties, and
had mourned him sincerely, but, now
that he was buried their attitude be-
came the common worldly attitude,
with perhaps a little more than the
usual aggressiveness in it. They were
In a quandary as to the bundle in the
new gas franchise, and many confer
! ences with Baldwin had nerved them
to desperate expedients. So it was on
Baldwin's advice that they determined
to be represented at the opening Of
the safe. Two of the number were de-
tailed to this duty, McQuirk Of the
Ninth, and Bretzenger OF the Twenty
fourth. When they made their de-
mand on Father Daugherty, explaining
that they came i'll their capacity as
Jimmy's nearest friends, he assented
with a readiness that relieved them
both, and delighted Bretzenger
though McQuirk, who knew Father
Daugherty better than his colleague
did, was fearful and suspicious

his pillow, and spoke Of Annie. The
calm Sister of Charity pressed her
rosary into his hand, and stopped to
listen. They had just time to send
for Father Daugherty.
Down in the ward, the sadness that
had come to Leadam street spread
blackly. Many a man, and many a
woman, and many a child, cried. The
poor had lost friend, and they would
not soon forget him. In the long days
of the distant winter they would think
Of him over and over. Every one in
that ward was poor, though the re-
formers, condescending that way
whenever Jimmy was up for re-elec-
ton, somehow never grasped the real
significance Of the fact. And it was
a somber Monday around the city
hall. Jimmy had been q man with a
genius for friendship. The gang
mourned him in a sadness that had
added to 1t the remorse Of a recent
sobrlety, but their grief, genuine as it

hearts would not have owned. They
we're FESTIVE and troubled. Whenever
they got together in little groups, they
read CONSERVATION in one another's
faces; and now and then they cursed
the caution they had extolled on Sat-
urday night. Besides these varied eff
fects, Jimmy's death, while It could
not create a crisis in the market,
nevertheless gave rise to nervous
feelings in certain eegments of flnan-
cial circles. 1t was inevitable that
financial and political circles should
overlap and intersect each other in
this matter, and there were confer
ences which seemed to reflect sense
Of personal resentment at Jimmy for
having been murdered so inopportune-
ly. In the end, the financiers were
peremptory with Baldwin. He must
fix the thing some way. And he as
sured them that he would give the
appointment of the administrator his
immediate attention. Already, he said,
he had man in view who would be
reasonable and practical. There were
suggestions Of strong-handed methods,
but that was never George r. Bald.

Of affability unimpaired. Meanwhile

pontical and financial circles could
only wait and hope.
The excitement Of the first few
days following the tragedy kept An
MES mind occupied; but, when the
funeral was over, and she returned to
her little fat, when the neighborly
women had at last gone back to their
homes and their interrupted duties,
and the world to its work, Annie was
left to face life alone. She could not
adjust herself tothe change, and fear
and despair added their blackness to
her grief. Father Daugherty knew
how great q blow Jimmy's death
would be to her, and, though he gave
what comfort he could, he left her
grief to time. He did not belong to
the preaching orders. But, as he pom
dered In his wise old head, he shrewd-
ly guessed that the careless Jimmy
would hardly have made provision
against anything SO far from his
thoughts as death, and he perceived
that IL Annie were to be protected
from a future with which she, alone
and unaided, would hardly have the
capacity to deal, some one must act
Long ago might Father Daugherty
have celebrated his silver jubilee as
pastor of st. Patrick's, but he was not
the man for celebrations. The parish
was one big family to him, and he
knew the joys and SORROWS, the little
hopes and pathetic ambitions Of every
one In 1t. The sorrows Of his chill
dren he bore in his own heart; they
had wrought their complex and tragic
tale In his face. The Joys he left
them to taste alone; but he found too
much sorrow to have time for 10Y.
During all those years he had given

had to give, 1t was the most precious
thing he could have given-a daily
sacrifice that exhausted O tempera.
ment keenly sensitive and sympa-
thetic. So he had grown old and
white before his time. Many man
had he kept straight when times were
hard and the right to work denied
him; many a widow had he saved
from the wiles of the claim-agent. The
corporations and the lawyers hated
him.
And so, on Monday morning, the
clerks Of the probate court had
scarcely had time to yawn reluctant
ly before beginning q new weeks
work, when Father Daugherty appear,

right to be appointed Administrative OF

with an application for the appoint
ment, instead, Of Francis Daugherty

AS Father Daugherty went about his
inventory, he saw that the result
would be what he had expected. Jim
my had left no estate, no insurance
nothing but the saloon. And that
with Jimmy dead, was nothing, for its
value lay all in Jimmy's personality
