CHAPTER XIV.
Anguish and Bliss.

Joe Carson had shouted his con-
fessiOn without a second Of reflec-
ton. But the result must have been
the same had he taken years Of
thought. Between him and her as
the victim of the law. there could be
no hesitation for choice. Indeed.
just now, he had no heed to his own
fate. The prime necessity was TO
save her, Mary, from the tolls Of the
law that were closing around her
For himself, in the days to come,
there would be a CHASTITY dread but
there would never be regret over the
cost Of saving her. Perhaps some
other ne might have let suffer In his
stead-not her! Even had he been
innocent and she guilty of the crime.
he would still have saved her from
the waters-he would save her until
the end as far as the power in him
might lie. 1t was thus that with
the primitive direCtness Of his reyer-
entail love for the girl ne counted
no sacrifice too great In her behalf,
Joe Carson was not a good man,
a the world esteems goodness On
the contrary, he was distinctly an
evil one, d menace TO society on
which he proved constantly. But

Likes Clothes.
q believe in the psychology Of
clothes, too. I hate things that are
just la mode. I happen to like little

looking, girlish things. They happen
to suit me, too-so | wear them. But

work and develop power, and just the
same way l want to grow beyond my
10 years in my appearance, too. Don't
you think you have to dress your age
as well as your type?'
I agreed; for l think that even as
clothes must express the wearer, so
they limit their wearer in her power
of expression. A woman struggling
along in a peg skirt that makes
her walk peg, too, can not look like
the heroine of the poets fancy:

Next Witness, Please !

Witness, viii you please answer my
questions a little more plainly2" queried
the lawyer, who was cross examining
an elderly German as to the position OF
the door, windows, etc, in the house
where a crime had been committed.

swered the old man.
"Wiu you describe to the Court just
how the stairs run in that house?" went
on the lawyer
For few minutes the German looked
puzzled, and bit his nails nervously

a little dazedly.

lawyer, in an exasperated tone.

Frozen With Horror

The suddenness of il all held Mary
voiceless for long seconds. She was
frozen with horror Of the event.
When, at last, words come they were

Burke, immensely gratified, went

fact Of Garson's confession, never

stated, earnestly.
The Inspector disdained such futile
argument. As the doorman appeared
in answer to the buZzer he directed
that the steuographer be summoned
at once.
Wen have the confession in due
form" ne remarked, gazing pleasedly
on the three before him.
Hes not going to confess" Mary
insisted, with spirit.
But Burke was not in the least i'm

pletely and spoke mechanically TO

EXPERIENCE OF
MOTHERHOOD
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a
trying one to most women and marks
distinctly an epoch in their lives. Not
one woman in a hundred is prepared
or understands how to properly care
for herself. OF course nearly every
woman nowadays has medical treat
ment at such times, but many ap-
proach the experience with an organ
ism untitled for the trial of strength,
and when it is over her system has
received a shock from which it is
hard to recover. Following right
upon this comes the nervous strain of
caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming
than a happy and healthy mother of
children, and indeed child birth I'M
der the right conditions need be no
hazard to health or beauty The in
explainable thing is that, with all the
evidence of shattered nerves and
broken health resulting from an IN
-epared condition and with ample
Ssme in which to prepare, women will
persist in going blindly TO the trial.
Every woman at this time should
rely upon Lydia r. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, a most valuable ton
ic and invigorator of the female or
ganism.

Then. while still that curious. dy-

briskly into the office BY some magic
duty he had contrived to give his
usually hebetudinous features an eX-
preston of enthusiasm.

idly, they've squealed."
Burke regarded his aid with an air
intolerably triumphant. His voice
came Snug:
"Squealed eh?" His glance ran
over Carson for a second. then made

Glider. He did not give a look to

should express youth-and | know
she is very wise. Youth must work
and study and try to grow up grace
fully in art and works and looks, but
it must not be impatient and try to
go faster than itself" added my
pretty philosopher sagely.
And don't you think that moods
are very important, too?" l asked.
Flowers in your pathway and pretty
clothes make beauty-but does it not
come from within?"
Not Fair.
Indeed it does" answered Miss
Claire. Unpleasant moods take the
light and life from the eyes and all
the face. 1t is not fair to other peo-
pie to indulge in moods-and if you
must have them, why just go off by
yourself if you can, for your face will
show their imprint Dropping your

mot only because life is happier
when you are busy but because, I'M
less you are helping to create things,
you become a critic. And just a Criti-
cal attitude toward life is likely to
become a bitter, droop-mouthed at
titude. If you are a worker, and
know how much struggle and effort
goes into creating each tiny bit of
life, you are happier and kinder, and
I'm sure you look sweeter, too"
Well, little sister workers, is not
that splendid message for us? To
create a bit o. life-and not to berate
life-that is what Ina Claire told me.

his good qualities, if few, were Of the
strongest fiber. rooted in the deeps
of him. He loathed treachery. His
one outlines in this respect had
been, curiously enough. toward Mary
herself, in the scheme of the bur
glary which she had forbidden. But,
in the last analysis, here his deceit
had been designed TO bring affluence
to her. 1t was his adherence Of
treachery among pals that had driv-
en- him to the murder of the stool
pigeon in d fit of ungovernable pas
sion He might have stayed his
hand then, but for the gusty rage
that swept him on to the crime.
None the less, had he spared the
man his hatred of the betrayer would
have been the same And the
other virtue Of Joe Carson was the
complement Of this-his own loyalty.

- Is it proper for girls between
the ages Of Is and 16 to play kiss
ing games, such as "postotfice,"
spin the bottle" etc, with boys
between the ayes of II and IS at
a social gathering? GLADYS.
Don't do it, my dear. II is a SILL
ness that sometimes results in con-
tinued and objectionable familiarity
when there are no kissing games as
an excuse. Boys think all the more
of girls who refuse to give sucn marks
of their favor.

jumped by him. Cady sprinted to frs
and beat Schalk's throw by hair.
The bases were filled!
Leonard Walks to Plate.
Everybody on the grounds except
the Chicago crowd broke into a wild
cheer. The Red Sox rooters were
like raving maniacs. Three on bases
and two out in the last half of the
ninth inning! Yes, but what chance
did the Red Sox have with a pitchers
turn to bat? Whoever heard Of
pitcher breaking up" a game of ball
in the ninth inning with three men
on bases and two out? And Stahl
had used up all his pinch hitters.
The cheers were az their height and
Leonard was walking slowly toward
the plate, bat in hand. when Wag-
ner rushed up to Stahl, who was on
the first base coaching line, and whis-
pered something I'm his ear. Instant
ly Stahl yelled to Leonard
Leonard" he cried.
The pitcher stopped and looked
at his manager, who mOtioned him to
keep away from the plate. There
was a connection in the dugout
where the Red SoX players were
gathered. They were crowded to-
gether with their backs to the field
Umpire Connolly called sharply to
Stahl:
Batter up; where's your batter?'
The Chicago section ieered and
hooted play ball" Get a move
on" Get busy" and similar remarks
were hurled at the Boston manager,
who still stood in the coaching box.
Whose turn is 1t to bat yours,
Leonardo" demanded Connolly, strid-
ing up to the pitcher.
Leonard nodded.
Get up to the plate, then" roared
Connolly. You can't delay the game
this way"
"stahl won't let me" replied Leon
ard
Connolly whipped off his mask and
ran toward the Red Sox manager.
Where's your next batter, Stahl?"
he roared
Stahl turned toward the Boston
bench, where there was still a. COM
motion among the players.
Who Is Your Batter"
Just a minute. Tommy, give me
just a minute" he said to the UNI
pire. Il want to win this game"
Manager Callahan of the White Sox
came rushing up. SO did Captain
Harry Lord. The cheers and the
boots died down.
What's the matter here" exclaim-
ed Callahan. Il claim the game by
forfeit unless a man goes to bat for
Boston right now"
Connolly pulled out his watch
'T'll give you just three minutes to-
get man up to the plate" he said
to Stahl
The megaphone boys hurried up.
The Boston manager glanced at the
players bench. The bunch of Red
Sox players separated and one of
them jumped out of the dugout and
began selecting bat from the pile
on the ground
Who is your batter?" demanded
Connolly.

An instant later the heralds raised
their megaphones to their lips and
amid a deathlike silence bawled this
announcement:

In that game the Philadelphia nine
was composed of nine players with
thumped as one. They took advan-
tage of every opening and with Chief
Bender in the box played with a dash
and confidence that filled their sup
porters with glee and when the CO.
horts went back to Philadelphia that
night ii was the hope that the White
Sox had gotten rid of all their bad
playing and that on the morrow, with
Big Ed Walsh in the box. they would
brace up and take the Red SoX into
camp, thereby making things all even
again, with the triple tie no further
decided than it was at the start.
Emblems Laid Aside.
No white silk stockinged banners
were Haunted on Broadway that night.
The emblems were laid aside for the
evening, while the owners thereof
sought rathskellers and similar places
for the purpose of drowning their sor-
rows in the flowing bowl. But COM
iskey, the owner Of the Chicago Club,
never gave up the baseball ship. The
"Old Roman" called the members of
his team to his room and after Civ
ing them a verbal dressing down for
their w-etched exhibition, as only
Comiskey himself could do, he eXhOrt-
ed them to go after the Red Sox on
the following day and wipe up the
Polo Grounds with them.
Now go out there and beat that

mently in conclusion, "and when you
do it I'll hand every member OF the
team $500. And you, Walsh" he adj
ded, turning to the big pitcher zone

The morrow came-a glorious Oc-

packed for the battle of the Red SoX
and the White Sox. Fresh from their
last headache. full of remorse for the
past and hope for the future, the
thousand from Chicago massed
themselves in that section of the stad
ium nearest first base, while opposite
them, behind third base, sat the rabid

Lord hunted a slow one down the third
base line. and in running TO get it, the

ton back Of first base became a way
ing field OF white banners, and the
shouts of leather-lunged Chicagoans
could be heard for miles Collins
lifted a long fly to Lewis and Rath
scored after the catch. Bodie came
along with two-base hit between
Speaker and Hooper, scoring Lord and
Chase. Mattick went out on a
grounder to Engle and Weaver closed
the inning With foul to Cady
With his side three runs to the good.
Big Ed Walsh stalked to the pitchers
box That lead was all he asked. The
Red Sox had found him almost un-
beatable for years. That $1,000 bonus
promised by ComisSey he considered
as good as in his bank at Meriden.
He began proceedings by striking out
Hooper and YerkeS and forcing
Speaker to roll an easy one to the
box, which Walsh himself tossed to
first for the thir out.
Collins Replaces Bedient.
Both sides were BANKED in the sec
ond inning. In the third the White
Sox went out in order but the Red

bat for Bedient, but the little fellow
hit into a double play and Hooper

still without a run to their credit.
Ray Collins came in to pitch I'm

White SoX in order. For Boston,
Speaker singled after Yerkes had been
disposed of, but neither Lewis nor
