GREATEST PITCHER ON EARTH
Lady Funeral Director of Dead Letter |, Office Sends Post Card to Walter
 Perry Johnson.

Uncle Sam, serving in the capacity of arbitrator on behalf of American iandom, the other day was called upon to decide "who is the greatest pitcher In latter day baseball?"
 There was received in the Chicago post office the other day a postal card bearing the following inscription:
 "To the Greatest Pitcher on Earth. :"
 Chicago had been nonplussed by the problem, as cursory examination of the records of the Cubs, Sox, and Chifeds naturally would indicate.
 The post card was sent to the dead letter office, where one of the lady funeral directors, like good rooter for the Nationals, promptly forwarded the card to Walter Perry Johnson. "Smokeball Walter" received the card and has filed it in among the other acquisitions of his remarkable career, which include bank stock, railway bonds and gilt-edge mortgages.

YALE MEN RECEIVE OFFERS
"Lons" John Reilly and Harry William Le Gore Expected to Play With
 Some Big League Team.

Two Yale baseball players will wear big league uniforms within a year. At least they have received several offers and one of them admits that he ex- poets to accept one of the bids.
 The pair are Long" John Reilly, the Yale third baseman, and Harry Will liam Le Gore, who has been called the most promising baseball player who has entered Yale in twenty years. He comes from Mercersburg academy, where he was captain of the baseball. football and basketball teams. He is a shortstop, and has been elected cap- tain of the freshman nine His homo is in Le Gore, Md. He was fullback on the freshman football eleven and made record as drop kicker. He has received an offer of $4,000 a year from Connie Mack, and IS likely to accept the offer after he finishes his Yale ca reer. He is not eligible for the varsity this season, but will have three years at shortstop before he leaves college. He has averaged one home run and three hits in every game yet played for the freshmen.
 Reilly is the star of the present Yale team. He is batting for -.440 and Is a whirlwind at the dizzy corner. He is easily the leading third baseman of the intercollegiate arena Last year he led the Yale nine at the bat. He has offers from the New York Ma tionals and Americans, the Philadel- phia Athletics and both Boston hines. His home is in Brockton, and he is a brother of Barney Reilly, the former Chicago White Sox, and of Jim Reilly, the former Yale halfback and left field CT. Reilly will almost certainly cap tain the Yale nine next season, after which it is whispered that he will probably be found in New York uni form. McGraw is said to have made him the greatest offer ever rendered to any college player. He was not in- elined to play professionally till this offer, rumored to be about $5,000, was made him, but 1t is said to have led him to think more seriously of ulti- mately becoming professional

Napoleon took Astra back to Wash ington late in the afternoon. Mrs. Ed. ison and Rositta walked down to the sandy shore and sat listening to the waves. The mother was dreaming of the happy future for her son. The other was weaving fine threads of the net she was tangling about her friends.
 Santos was away, but he was ex- pected back soon. She disliked to see him leave her side, as she feared to lose the control that she had gained over him.
 He returned that evening. When Mrs. Edison retired the countess stole out of the house and strolled toward the shore, where she knew Santos would be awaiting her. Santos was the happiest of men when she greeted him with passionate embraces and kisses.
 He was like faithful, obedient dog Whatever Rositta asked he did with out question. Tonight he handed her the counts letter, that came in answer to the one he had sent for her.
 Rositta opened 1t, and he held his
 
 My little blond boy, the time is nearing when my name will be changed to Duprel. What do you think of that? Mrs. Duprel? Doesn't that sound good to your"
 Santos only answer was kisses; he had begun to master the so-called lost art very quickly.
 Do you know how I have missed you? MT. Edison and Astra were here, but since I know you I can't enjoy them any more. I know 1t is not right to feel that way, as Napoleon has been very good to me, but my sympathy is with you, dear" Her arm slipped around his neck q cannot hear him criticise you.'
 "Criticise me? Is he dissatisfied with me?" The words were heavy with dismay. Rositta knew that she had touched the right strings "Who told you that?"
 Don't take 1t seriously, Santos. I have tried to keep 1t to myself. but I-I could not"
 Did he say that I had not served him well? Did he say thatr'
 "He did," whispered Rositta.
 Santos breathed fire and flame Ro- sitta subtly convinced Santos that he was the man, and not Napoleon Edi- son, whose name should be the revered one in American history. When argu- ments were weak, kisses strengthened them, until poor Santos was nodded into form that suited Rositta. Then she said:
 q own the cirynith deposits in Hun gary. I never will give them to Ma poleon. I want you to be his master Will you come with me?"
 q am with you and yours forever!" The tone in which this was said was enough for Rositta. She knew she had won.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Fifteenth of July,

The Fifteenth of July.
 July 15, the marriage day of Astra and Napoleon, had been declared continental holiday
 From near and far came congratu- lations. They had not planned a gor- geous ceremony, but they could not stop the expressions of love that came from the loyal citizens. The whole capital was alive with color. and the messages that came and the sincere joy of all, made the day one to be remembered for years to come.
 Astrahad missed Rositta very much She had been unable to attend the wedding, as she had been i'll on the Island of Ciryne for the last few weeks.
 When Napoleon heard that the countess was unable to attend their wedding on account of her indisposi- tion, he thoughtfully shook his head. It seemed incredible that Rositta, who was so full of vitality and energy, should be i'll. He only said: Every illness has a remedy"
 He did not give the matter further thought. He spent the last day before his marriage in his aerodromone, the American Eagle Where he was. or what he did, no one seemed to know, and he did not volunteer the informa- ton.
 After their wedding luncheon Astra returned to her presidential office, as there were things that she wanted to attend to personally. Especially the criminal case of Nikolay Mozrak The Criminal Court of the continent Lad decreed capital punishment for at tempted assassination of the President of the United Republics of America. | Astra read the document carefully and instead of signing it, she wrote:
 "Pardoned, and shall be instantly re. leased"

 Will you see the countess person ally?" asked the chancellor.

 "Oh, never mind." answered the chancellor, knowing the man knew nothing whatever about the message. Who will come after the answer, if there is .one?"

 Won Werdenstein." He sealed the letter, then gave 1t to the man, who left the room
 The chancellor pondered deeply over the situation, then started for the royal palace to report Napoleon's visit and Rositta's promises to his majesty.
 When Napoleon arrived home he had long conference with Astra. They were both somewhat depressed. His disappointment in not securing the Peak Suemeg was great, because he had many inventions that required the use of cirynith, and he knew that the counts actions were a menace to the peace movement
 They decided that they would marry in the month of July. That evening they went to Ciryne to tell their deter imitation to Mrs. Edison.
 Napoleon and Astra spent another day on Ciryne This time Napoleon conducted the three women througf the wonderful plant where cirynitl was refined and manufactured iptt parts of aerodromones and other use full articles. :,
