to them. He wondered If he were
growing delirious. but he could not
summon energy to call out or arise.
1t must have been 10 o'clock when
he thought he heard light tap on the
DOOR He made an effort to speak
Come"
The door opened. Some one tip
toed softly to the bedside and leaned
over him.
Are you sick?" came the broken
anxious whisper. You looked so tired
and you came up Misunderstanding
to me. They said, let you sleep. But
I've been-so afraid"
He caught her hand and chung to it.
Would you mind staying while?"
he whispered back MY head does
funny tricks in the dark"
She put her free hand to his hot
forehead. Then she gave low pity
ing cry. you are sick!-Wait!"
She left the room quietly. Soon she
returned with towels and basin of
water in which ice tinkled. She
lighted the gas jet and turned it very
low.
Close your eyes now" she said
softly, land try to sleep. l didn't tell
any one, because l wanted to help you
myself"
He lay passive, while she placed
cold wet towels over his eyes, bathed
his hands and wrists In the icy water
and stroked his throbbing temples. He
wondered duly that hands which
worked SO hard could be so gentle,
For many minutes they did not speak.
The stealthy shapes were laid.
The sharp pounding in his brain be-
gan to subside. Drowsiness was steal
ing over him.
His hands CROPPED until they found
hers. "Kazia, Kazia!" he breathed.
Hush" she said.
Its such a pretty name," he MUIR
INJURED sleepily.
He felt her lips on his forehead.
After that he slept.
When he awoke the room was dark.
A cool moist wind swept strongly in
upon him. He heard the rumble Of
far away retreating thunder. And with
the heat the headache and overpow-
ering fatigue had gone. He drew a
long signing breath. Something stirred
in his hand.
Then In the faint reflection of the
street lamp he saw the figure crouch
ing on the floor at the bedside, her
cheek pillowed in his outstretched
hand 1t took him a moment to real
ize what had brought her there.
Are you awaken" she whispered.
Yes"
And better?"
"All right now, thanks to you
Why, you're all wet!"
yes" She rose stif1y to her knees.
Its been storming and it rained in
on me little. But it's cooler now"
And you-What time is it?"
"A clock just struck four"
"And you've been here all the timer
II was afraid you'd wake up and
need some one. And-I wanted to-"
"Kazia, why do you do these things
for me?"
ct is my place"
Her place! What place, then, had
he given her? "Kazia-" he began.
But more than cowardice sealed his
lips. She might have been consciously
fighting for her love. She bent over
and kissed him.
Hush! You need to Sleep"

"Huh!" sneered Piotr, "You're Glad
Enough of the Chance"
hard! Now there was at least the SEM
blance of a struggle.
1t almost shook him because with
that went-Kazia. Instinct, brushing
aside the mist of false teachings, in
terpreted anew and Alright the passion
he had thought ignoble, warned him to
take this whole love while yet there
was time.
Almost thou persuadest me. :"
But not altogether. His desire--to
survive, to win his place among the
masters-still held the whip, kept him
facing doggedly his straight road
ahead. And as if jealous of any rival
for supremacy over him, it claimed
the pale lesser love. He could not see
the unlettered Hunky girl sharing that
conquest.
When she came, she stood for mo-
ment at the door, a question and a
great fear in her eyes.
II was waiting for you" he said.
II knew. But | couldn't come any
sooner"
Her glance fell to the bag, rose
again. She walked slowly toward him.
He rose. Scarcely an arms length
away, she halted. Suddenly tears stood
in her eyes. She put out both hands
in a quick pleading gesture.
Don't go!"
"They don't want me to stay. KaZia."
That's because you've taken his
job Don't take it,"
He shook his head. You don't I'M
derstand. There's no reason why
shouldn't take it."
Hes your friend"
You don't understand" he repeated
YEARLY. IF 1 could give him back
his job by not taking it, I'd not take
it," He believed that then! He be-
gan again the old reasoning. But
| couldn't Some one else would get
it-that's ALL Isn't it better for me
to have it than stranger? Roman"
he concluded bitterly, ought to see 1t
that way"
Il know there isn't any good reason.
Butt couldn't go with you, If you
took it."
She couldn't go with him! His eyes
fell miserably.
"Oh, no." With one swift step she
bridged the space between them,
throwing her arms around his neck
"Oh, no! l didn't mean that. I'D go
with you, whatever you did. I'd have
to. l couldn't stay here, when you're
fn hn hn-
fore you came couldn't stand that"
A little shudder passed over her.
You can't understand" he cried
again. i've tried"
II know. I've seen it troubling you,
though l didn't know what it was. But
can't you see? I'm the reason
You'll never find any one that can love
you like | can. It's all l know-to
love-to love you ! don't ask much.
But can give-everything."
With force that must have hurt
her he freed himself from her clasp
and sank shaking into the chair, COW
ering his face with his hands. For a
breath the scales quivered. Then:
"Kazia," he whispered, Il haven't
been square with you. There's-there's
another girl"
There is-And you
After what seemed like a long
silence he dared to glance up to see
how she had taken 1t. By then she
had crept to the threshold and was
looking back at him. About her lips
a dazed, foolish little smile was play
ing. And her eyes were the eyes or
one who had just seen great horror.
When he looked up again. she wan
gone.
An hour later-how he could not
have told-he found himself wander
ing in the streets, carrying his ancient
carpetbag.

bat.
Other important players. if not
stars. have also been signed by clubs
Of the Federal league. Among them
are AID Brennan of the Philadelphia
club-the man who won fame by
knocking out Manager McGraw of
the Giants last year on the field in
Pbiladelphia-Jimmy Sheckard, the
famous o%utfielder: Stovall, former
manager of the Browns Of st. Louis;
Beals Becker. once Of the New York
Giants; Packard of Cincinnati: Nc
kcchnie, once second baseman for
Pittsburgh and also for the New York
Americans: Barbeau, once third base
man for Pittsburgh, and Schlafly, long
in the International league.
One thing is holding back many big
league players from accepting offers
of Federal league club managers-thc
question of money. Will the Federal
league last through the season and
thus be able to pay salaries? If it's
managers could assure players of their
money they would likely get many
more stars of the big leagues.
