Even il he made a clean breast OF the
whole affair to Jean, or to her brother
when he arrived, what good would that
do? De doubted Jacks ability to save
him, in the light Of what had just
passed; for men like Willie cared
nothing for the orders of the person
whose pay roll they CHANGED to grace.
And Willie was not alone, either; the
rest OF the crew were equally des-
perate. What heed would these no.
MAIDS pay to Jack Chapin's commands,
once they learned the truth?
There were still. however, two days
of grace, and 70 youth two days is an
eternity. Therefore. he closed his eyes
and trusted to the unexpected. How
the unexpected could get past that
grim. watchful sentry just outside the
door he could not imagine. but when
the breakfast-bell reminded him OF his
hunger, he banished his fears for the
sake Of the edibles his custodians had
served.

when the Brooklyn president asked
him about his contract.
Ebbetts said he would take no ac-

club to determine whether steps

force Tinker to play with the National
league club, under the reserve clause
of his contract with Cincinnati.
Ebbetts said unless Tinker joins the
Brooklyns, the Brooklyn club will lose
$4,000, the purchase price paid the
Cincinnati club for the players serv-
