Pacde~5 Of newspapers are aware,
without being told. that in reports of
any great public gathering any ex-
traordinary crime. any 100000 dia-
mond robbery. any uncommon disas-
ter it is the newspapers that set the
pace i'm gathering and distributing the
news of the event. This fact is lost
sight Of in this narrative. In this
particular case the newspapers told
all about Gordon Kelly, but later GER
tain things happened to him that the
newspapers were never able to learn,
and they will be told in the course of
this story for the first time.
The news Of Gordon Kelly's great
feat in his last game in Atlanta Great
ed a profound impression throughout
the baseball world. There was no
end of praise for the player and Of
sympathy for the Boston club, which,
through the accident, had lost the SER
vices for many weeks at least of a
man for whom it had just paid that
unheard of price of $4,000 The cham
had started and were we'll under way.
In the American League, Of which
Gordon Kelly was now a member, al
though not able to play, the Philadel-
phia, Washington and Cleveland clubs
had takerp the lead, while the New
York and Boston clubs We're off to a
bad start. Jake Stahl, manager of
the Red SoN, although himself limp
ing around with an injured leg, be.
moaned his hard luck.
Il have the best outfield in the
country as il is, he said, but | could
use that Gordon Kelly just the same.
Gee, wish he would hurry up and
get well before my club is out of the
running
Frank Chance. manager Of the New
York Americans, cursed his fate. IF
we had only landed Gordon Kelly and
if he hadn't broken his leg. we would
be right up there fighting with the
leaders he. declared.
The word IF is 90 per cent OF base
ban. IL may be remarked
Manager Callahan, Of the Chicago
White SoX. said:
"Comiskey ought TO have landed
Gordon Kelly. All / need is that fell
low, besides Big Ed Walsh, to win
the American League pennant"

why he did so, he pulled a slouch
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 an5
weeks the police authorities. private
detectives employed by the Boston
club ard baseball reporters. who be-

disappearance of Gordon Kelly, the
$4,000 ball player, became an un

Two Sides to a
Question
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

THOUGH love and marriage are
the dreams Of every girl hap
piness is not dependent on
either. and often one is happiest with
out them.
There are two sides 10 the ques-
ton. The girl who is looking anx-
iously for the coming Of a lover, and
who grows apprehensive when he is
delayed. sees only one side. She takes
no account Of the look Of care, unhap-
nness and discomfort on the face Of
ne wife she does not see-she re-
fuses 10 see-th,t matrimony does not
always bring returns commensurate
for the price one must pay.
Perhaps it may lessen the discon-
tent Of the girl who has no lover 20
compare the life Of the woman who
never marrtes with that Of the wife.
The girl has time and opportunity
for cultvatinz every talent with
which she is endowed. The only tai
ents the wife is given opportunity to
develop are those Of economy and pa
tlence
The happiness Of a nation depends
on its power 10 dream and this being
true Of the whole. Is true Of the part.
The girl dreams Of an ideal lover,
and the dream is never shattered, "a
wife has no illusions LETT.
