-I0dllLCu IudC HIS ldDOT was SIICIly
commercial A picture piece, exqui-
site and perfect as an art plaque, he
knew that when his work was done,
reproduced from the printing press, it
would show lettering advertising the
wares of a famous baking company.
He lay down his tools of usage at
last. Daylight was fading and he had
worked rapidly, but his toll had its
recompense. Side by side, the real
contrasted with the artificial and the
fine delicate shades of the former
would have appealed the more
strongly to the true artistic taste.
There was a tap at the door. Evil
IDENTIFY the lone artist was expecting
his caller, for he spoke out eagerly:
Come in, Morse"
A brisk, busting business-faced
man entered. He wasted no time in
civilities, but walked to the easel
without excuse or hesitation, drew
magnifying glass from his pocket and
critically inspected the color sketch.
"Excellent-your very best," he an
nounced complacently. you improve
every Jay.
"And grow hungrier," observed
Willis with family bitter smile. "Can
Ihave-the samples?" he added, with
a meaning sweep of his hand towards
the dainties.
why, surely" assented his visitor
with stare of surprise. What do
you want them for?"
ITO eat, of course"
"You mean" began Horse, and
paused, an fndefinably shocked ex-
preston crossing his face.
Willis made no reply. He seized the
loaf of bread with the fierceness of a
famished animal, tore handful from
its soft, mellow heart and crowded it
into his mouth. Once he choked as if
with direful humiliation. Once the
tears fell over the loaf His visitor
watched him with sober, plying eyes.

He placed his hand in his pocket
and drew out some money, counted it,
doubled the amount. Willis recounted
it and pushing back the excess syms
pathy had impelled, saying:
my rightful hire, Morse. You're,a
good fellow just the same" q
There is something else," Morse
said, THE Calendar Girl"
Above a cot in a kind of alcove
hung colored crayon sketch. Willis
glanced at it with swimming eyes.
NO. he said resolutely.
why not?" urged Morse you
know it was made for that rich man
ufacturer, Payne, who is so proud of
his daughter. He has been at the
Office after the original crayon."
ct is mine, money will not buy it"
said Willis sententiously and bowed
his visitor from the room.
Buy it-as soon would he sell his
soul In his poetic way the work on
that picture, taken from an oil paint
ing, had been the inspiration of his
recent life.
Willis had the first full meal of
weeks that day, for he had money
now. The rescue was too late, how
ever. He awoke the next morning in
a burning fever.
There was only the woman in
charge of the apartments to nurse
him. That afternoon a stylish auto
mobile drove up. A young lady alight-
ed. She was the original of the Cal
endar Girl. When she knocked at the
door of the artists room the old wo-
man met her.
HE has been going on all day that
way" she said.
Miss Elinor Payne had come, hop
ing to prevail upon Willis. to sell her
the picture. But now-she stood in a
strange maze listening to the cease
less babble of his parched lips.

Duluth Wins Out Over
Graingrowers in Two
Heart Breaking Games

baseball up to the caliber displayed
Saturday there will be no kick com
ing.
Mclaughlin proves to the crowd
Saturday that he has the goods. The
former North high Minneapolis boy
twirled shutout ball most Of the way,
and Darby OBrien's homer was a
in right field. A good many homers
will be dropped over that fence before
the season is over.
Mclaughlin had just one bad in
ming, the sixth. He lost his own game
by a poor throw to catch Bracket
mapping at second. The ball rolled
to center field and Bracket raced to
third. DIETRICH followed with a time
ly single and the beans were spilled.
The locals scored first in the game
Saturday, Anderson bringing in a run
in the second inning. Unglaub got a
base on balls but was caught at sec
ond on Anderson's short n to the
pitcher. Weidell bingled a two-bagger,
and Anderson went to third, scoring
from there on Murphy's hit. Murphy
was caught between second and third,
and Mclaughlin flew out to Brack-
EFT, retiring the side, n ending the
scoring for the locals.
The White Sox made their first run
In the fourth inning. Bracket struck
out, and Dietrich went out on a foul
fly, which Anderson gathered in nice
~ at third. O'Brien got into the game
with both feet, and shot the pill clear
over the fence, just to the left Of the
white line which divides the two
Dagger from the home run territory,
scoring for the White Sox. Phillips
struck out.
In the sixth inning, Leahy hit a hot
one to Schiller, which the second
baseman handled perfectly, retiring
Leahy on first. Bracket doubled and
went to third when McLaughlin's
throw to catch him at second went
wild. He came home on Dietrich's
single to right. OBrien struck out,
Phillips singled to left and Wolfe
made it three out when he hot a
grounder to McLau ghlin.
The locals threatened several times
in the remaining innings, but, with
linen on bases, the Duluth boys rose to

Bing! Bling!
Twice, just like that, the Duluth club
Ewatted the Graingrowers.
They were victories of the scratch
order, however, and in both contests
the breaks were against the locals. The
fans are with the team to a man, de-
spite the hard luck and everyone was
pulling for a turn Of the tables today.
It was g. miserable day for a ball
game yesterday, but in spite Of that
fact about 800 people turned out at
the Moorhead park and shivered in the
raw wind, while the Graingrowers and
the White Sex played another game OF
class A baseball.
It was a pitchers battle between
Schmirler, who held the Superior team
to three hits on the first day of the
season, sind Cunningham. The latter
threw q great game for the Duluth
ians, holding the G~raingrowers to two
hits. Both OF these were doubles, one
being by Schiller and the other by
Unglaub. The Duluth pitcher was &C
corded the best support although three
errors were chalked up against both
sides.
Only one run should have been
counted against schmtrler. He allow
ed but FIVE hits and with perfect sup
port the only run of the game would
have been the home run made by Phil
lips.
The White Sox started things in the
first inninc Of the game yesterday.
Bracket few out to Doyle, and Diet
rich singled to right. O'Brien shot a
siEzler to Briere, who threw to second
to retire Doyle. and start a double
play. Schiller failed to hang onto the
throw. and the two White Sox reposed
safely on the first and second sacks
Phillips singled to left, and Dietrich
came In. O'Brien was caught trying
to score, and Wolfe flew out.
In the sixth inning. Dietrich took
first when Schrirler hit him. O'Brien's
sacrifice advanced him to second. Phil
lips was hit by q, pitched ball, and both
men advanced a base when Wolfe bat
ted one to Briere, who fumbled it,
Dietrich crossing the home plate in a
hurry. Freer struck out, and McGut
went out or a short grounder.
In the eighth inning, O'Brien was
put out on his hit to Anderson on
third. Phillips landed on Schmirlel
for g. homer, slick and clean over the
fence. Wolfe flied out to Names a
center. and Names also accepted
Freer's rainbow, retiring the side.

It was dark and gusty night; rain

answering signal. The few people
about scurTied hard for home or
some makeshift shelter-no need to
bid them move on! The policeman
had his beat, and his thoughts, pref

the Embankment at the Westminster
end; his thoughts were wholly set on
wondering how long the hands on the
clock in the tower up there would
take to cover what was professedly
only half an hour; the boom of ten
O'Clock from Big Ben would set him
free.
He strolled along with the pom

the policeman unemployed. Yet the

eye, not his professional brighten

full figure leaning against the par

more slowly, aiming at noiselessness
for he did not wish to disturb the
girl; she was obviously engrossed in
thought, gazing across to the wharfs
on the Surrey side. her hands CLASH
ed and her elbows resting on the
parapet. She was draped from neck
to feet in long cloak; to the pelt of
the rain she seemed quite Indifferent.
When the policeman was some ten
PAGES from her, he stopped sudden

by that action revealed a small OBJ

them. 1t was a little case; the next

That's a rum start! Throwing

turning and facing him squarely
'The case-wen that not so fun
