deserts face. 1t seemed to lift his
spirit and to cradle it. Then he
Dreathed his prayers-they took form,
and in his sleep he repeated the Ave
Maria and the Paternoster. and the
words rolled and rolled over the
deserts face and the supplication
seemed to his feverish mind to mingle
with the stars
A sort of midnight dew fell upon
him: 80 at least he thought, and it
seemed to him heavenly dew and to
cover him like a benignant rain. He
grew cooler. He prayed again, and
with his words there came to the
young man an ineffabIe sense Of peace.
He pillowed his fading thoughts upon
it; he pillowed his aching mind upon
it and his body, too, and the pain of
his wound and he thought aloud, with
only the night airs to hear him, in
broken sentences: IF this is death it
is not so bad. One should rather be
afraid Of life. This is not difficult, if
l should ever get out of here l shall
not regret this night"
Toward morning he grew calmer, he
turned to speak to his little compan-
ion. In his troubled thoughts he had
forgotten Pitchoune.
Sabron family called him. There
was no response. Then the soldier
listened in silence. It was absolutely
unbroken. Not even the call of a
ight-bird-not even the cry of a n.y.
ena-nothing came to him but the in
articulate voice of the desert. Great
and solemn awe crept up to him, crept
up to him like spirit and sat down
by his side. He felt his hands grow
cold, and his feet grow cold. Now, I'M
able to speak aloud, there passed
through his mind that this, indeed, was
death, desertion absolute in the heart
of the plains.

very gently to her side, looking up at
her as a mother might have looked.

Not in words, ma tante."
There was a silence, and then Julia
Redmond said:

he is safe, that he lives. only wish
to know his fate"
"But if you go to him like this, ma
chere, he will think you love him. He
must marry you! Are you making a

"Ah," breathed the girl from be-

alone, my dear Julia!"
She had been so thoroughly the
American girl that she had thought OF
nothing but going. She threw her
arms around her aunt's neck with an
abandon that made the latter young
again. The Marquise dEscl1gnac
kissed her niece tenderly.

forces with the American league to
run the Baltimore team. McGraw's
break with Ban Johnson disrupted
that combine, and Robby resumed
business. A couple of years ago Nc
Graw hired his old pal as sort of
assistant manager of the Giants aud
coach Of young pitchers.
He returned to the game bit fat
ter, bit more serious and business
like, and he did really valuable work
for McGraw in working with the pitch
ers, and more in smoothing over the
rather difficult passages between Nc
Graw and some of his players.
McGraw was his sponsor as mana
ger at Brooklyn, and last year Rob-
inson worked hard, and finally got his
team going.
The one strong point in his favor
is that his men are extremely loyal
to him.
Under McGraw Robinson learned to
bark at listless player occasionally,
and if he only adds a bite or two
he may drive that team to where it
should be. 1t is a good ball club, If
driven to the limit
Robinson is one of the best of
judges of young players, especially
pitchers, and his patience and kindly
encouragement helps the youngsters.
He shows excellent judgment in
choosing pitchers for certain games,
and watches their form closely.

GAIN BY RETRENCHlNG

; "Retrench! Retrench!" is
, the cry heard everywhere IN
baseball this season, and who
is there to say that it will not
eventually lead to better things
) on the diamond? For one thing,
it is likely to do away with the
big punches of bench-warmers,
PLAYERS retained for one thing
; or another but seldom appear
ing in the daily lineup, writes
; Lou Dougher in the Washington
Times. Baseball has had phe-
; nomenal success in recent
, years. 1t has grown more and
more luxurious. Teams carried
extra pinch hittors, pitchers for
practical purposes, speedy run
, ners to replace slower ones In
tight places, coachers for pitch
) ers, catchers, infielders. and out
feeders, veteran sign-grabbers,
; ETC., etc. But the caliber of the
game did not increase with this
addition to the teams. If a team
carries ten pitchers, as some
have done, they can't all appear
, in turn. Four or five backstops
usually means two or three
idlers. Five or six outf1elders
means each plays half a sea-
son at full seasons salary. 1t
is barely possible that the rad
; ical cut of National league
teams to 81 men this season
) came altogether too much with
out warning, but the league is
sure to be the better for 1T. Ii
, the armies of idlers are to be
replaced with small bands OF
, men working hard for victory,
then baseball will have gained
by the retrenchment policy now
in vogue everywhere.

The marquise rolled her embroidery
and put it aside for twelve months.
Her fine hands looked capable as she
did so.

"Oh, ma tante! There will be no

newspaper, until oh, heav-

Miss Redmond looked at her aunt
speechlessly.

Cross to Algiers, or rather, Robert is
at Nice. l shall telegraph him."
ooh, ma tante!"
"He asked me to make up my own
party for cruise on the Mediterran-
ean," said the Marquise d'Esclignac
thoughtfully.
Miss Redmond fetched the telegraph
blank and the pad from the table. The
color began to return to her cheeks.
She put from her mind the idea that
her aunt had plans for her. All ways
were fair in the present situation.
The Marquise d'Esclignac wrote her
dispatch, very long one, slowly. She
said to her servant:

Western LEAGUE Troubles.

Frank Isbell says the solution OF the
Western league financial troubles Is
to make the league Class B circuit
He says the league would give the
fans just as good ball as they now
get, and the cost would be a great
deal less. The salary limit in the
league now is $4,000. If it were a
Class B league, the limit would be
$4,000 a month. This would mean
saving Of almost $1,000 a month to
every club in the league.

Wilbert Robinson, who is guiding
the destinies of the Brooklyn Dodgers,
is one of the most likable, one of the
cleanest, jolliest and most loyal Of
men.
This year Robinson has ball club
which, on paper, shows class. Either
McGraw or Stallings or Mack could
take it and probably win pennant,
and yet it will surprise the judges If
it finishes one, two, three.
It is partly because Robby is too
good natured and not mean" enough
to be real inspirer and leader Of
men.
Robby was the one calm, peaceful
element in the old Baltimore Orioles.
He was the collier" of umpires and
the one who whispered the condo
lences, with the accent on the con,
while dozen of the McGraw, Brodie,
Jennings, Kelly, Stencil crowd yawped
and snarled.
Robby was everybody's friend
when the others were at the point

peacemaker on the, bench, the real
friend of all.
He likes people and they like him

CHAPTER XIV.
An American Girl.

The Marquise d'Esclignac saw that
she had to reckon with an American
girl Those who know these girls
know what their temper and mettle
are, and that they are capable of the
finest reverheration.
Julia Redmond was very young.
Otherwise she would never have let
Sabron go without one sign that she
was not Indifferent to him, and that
she Was rather bored with the idea
of titles and fortunes. But she adored
her aunt and saw, moreover, some
thing else than ribbons and velvets in
the makeup of the aunt. She saw
deeper than the polish that long
Partisan lifetime had overlaid, and
she loved what she saw. She respected
her aunt, and knowing the older ladys
point of view, had been timid and hest
tating until now.
Now the American girl woke up, or
rather asserted herself.
my dear julia" said the Marquise
d'Esclignac, 'are you sure that all the
timed things, the cocoa, and so FORTH
are on board? I did not see that box"
ma tante," returned her niece from
her steamer chair, its the only piece
of luggage l am sure about"
At this response her aunt suffered a
slight quaIm for the fate of the rest of
her luggage, and from her own chair
in the shady part of the deck glanced
toward her niece, whose eyes were on
her book.
What a practical girl she is"
thought the Marquise d'Esclignac.
'She seems ten years older than l.
She is cut out to be the wife of poor
man. 1t is pity she should have
fortune. Julia would have been charm
ing as love in cottage, whereas
She remembered her hotel on the
Pare Monceau, her chateau by the
Rhone, her villa at Biarritz-and
sighed. She had not always been the
Marquise d'Esclignac; she had been
an American girl first and remembered
that her maiden name had been De
Puyster and that she had come from
Schenectady originally. But for many
years she had forgotten these things.
Near to Julia Redmond these last few
weeks all but courage and simplicity
had seemed to have tarnish on its
wings.
Sabron had not been found.
It was a curious fact, and one that
transpires now and then in the history
of desert wars-the man is lost. The
captain of the cavalry was missing
and the only news Of him was that he
had fallen in an engagement and that
his body had never been recovered.
Several sorties had been made to nnd
him; the war department had done all
that it could; he had disappeared from
the face of the desert and even his
bones could not be found.
from the moment that Julia Red
mond had confessed her love for the
Frenchman, a courage had been born
in her which never faltered, and her
aunt seemed to have been infected by
il. The marquise grew sentimental,
found out that she was more docile and
unreasonable than she had believed
herself to be, and the veneer and ETH
ouette (no doubt never very real
part of herr became less important
than other things. During the last
few weeks she had been more De
Puyster from Schenectady than the
Marquise d'Esclignac.
MA tante," Julia Redmond had
said to her when the last telegram
