from the terminal. leaving il 10 go on
and deliver the trunk as ordered. Then
he went TO an express office, delivered

that held them, bit into it daintily.
Now. then, Mr.. Gordon Kelly, give
an account Of yourself" she said.

"Why did you come here?"

Certainly. that bridge that crosses

met Mildred that he was able to make
use Of one Of the telephones on his
property and order an automobile 20
take him the rest Of the way. Steve
Jackson, his negro boy, quickly an.
swered the summons, and that is the
way Gordon Kelly reached his mountain
home without anyone being the wiser.
An hour later he had Judge Barbee on
the telephone.
"Ths is Gordon" he said, Il am up

not to tell a soul where I am. You can

light but / am trying to avoid lot Of
annoyance. Goodbye"
with that of his mind Gordon pro-
ceeded 20 settle down TO his old mode Of
fe that is as much as his troubled
thoughts would allow him 10.
The news that Gordon Kelly had left
the hospital packed his trunk and de-
parted from Atlanta, presumably for
Boston TO join the Red SoX. was flashed
over the wires, but as the days passed
and nothing was heard Of him, the Bos.
ton mana cement began to get worried.
kilograms were sent 20 Atlanta, ask
ing for information, but there was no
information to impart More kilograms
came asking the Atlanta club officials
TO locate Kelly's home and see n he
was there, but no one could be found
who knew where his home was. Bill
Smith was appealed to, but all he could
say was that Kelly had told him he
came from the Georgia mountains This
clew. vague as It was led 10 nothing
Two weeks passed and then the Bos-
ton club went at the matter In earnest.
II had $4,000 tied up IN Gordon Kelly,
and that was a mighty pile Of money to
put out for a ball player and not have
the use Of his services. At the end Of
the third week the case was puu in the
hands OF private detectives, and these
professionals began a systematic hunt
for the missing man. They traced his
trunk TO the terminal baggage room.
They interviewed the expressman who
had taken IL there But that is as far
as they got ia that direction The
trunk itself was Ike hundreds OF others
and the baggage men, who handled moth
ing else. could not place IL. There was
not enough for them to go on. and
three weeks is long time TO remember
a trunk that IL like hundreds Of others

Riding on a Receipt

Mark Twain's story Of Horace
Greeley's handwriting has a parallel
in this. from a railway conductor in
Missouri to the president Of the road.
The conductor wrote.
"A farmer has been riding on this
pass for about a year. Do you want
him TO continue to use it2'
The president put on his glasses,
looked the paper over carefully, and
said
Why this is not a pass. To is a
receipt / gave the fellow for a load
of wood about a year ago."
