The young fellow held out his hand; ;

Wasn't this capital revenge?
Il ;" l can't say that l ever

He even balled his fists: HAS he

you knew him. Since you do not there
is nothing more to be done about It,"
"But If he has insulted-"
Ssh! That's not a nice word to hear
in a conservatory" she warned.
But do not understand"
1T is not necessary. If you do not
take me instantly to the ballroom you
will lose the best part of the dance"
She rose, and then saw two little
blue slippers peeping out from under
the silken skirts.

She smiled in spite of the anger

"Once We played the Sleeping

She inclined forward a bit. There

COLLINS NOT SIGNED YET
Red sox Pitcher Awaits Action o.
Baseball Fraternity

Ray Collins was in the city yester-
day from his Colchester farm and
when asked If he had signed up for
another season with the Red Sox. re-
Piled that he had not and gave his
reasons by explaining HE connection
with the baseball fraternity, OF
which he Ia q vlce.president and
member OF the advisory board. The
fraternity has a membership Of be-
tween 400 and 500 members and it 10
doubtful If any of the members Will
sign contracts until the association
and the baseball officials have met
and agreed on terms for the future.
The association is compose Of the
players Of the American, National
and Interstate leagues and American
association, and is striving FOR tho
hetterment OF conditions for the big
league players. The advisory board
will meet the officials In New York
city on January and then the
course TO be adopted viii be decided
The fraternity Ia strong enough so
that affairs Will doubtless remain at
standstill until an agreement has
been reached.
Collins is in charge OF the Boston
bunch and only four have been sign
ed up for that aggregation as vet,

he is in line for the reason that he

son, before anything Ike the freter-
nifty was in the afr. or course he
will not be asked to violate his con.
tract. Joe Wood signed but az the
time he placed his signature he did
not know OF the hold OFF, and Collins
was unable to communicate with him
before the teIise were made. XNag-
ner and Foster are the other two and
the latter was injured so that he
really had no other recourse. An
attempt to secure. Clcotte was made
Friday without success.
Other members OF the advisory
board are Reulbsch, another Yer.

and Dsubert OF Brooklyn, who with

According TO Umpire Evans, players
