her quizzical, halfpuzzled look.

YES" said Lydia, bluntly.
In order that you may realize that
I am ten years wiser than you. and
that you may not again make the mis-

The color faded from Lydia's face.
She grew cold from head TO foot. In
voluntarily she moved back a pace.
The next instant, 10 her unbounded
surprise, Mrs. Brood's hands were out
stretched in gesture OF appeal, and
a quick, wistful smile took the place
OF the imperious stare.
"Therel | am a nasty. horrid thing.

The girl could no more withstand |
the electric charm OF the woman than ,
she could have fought off the sun I

pletely fascinated.
"It's-It's very good OF YOU" she
murmured, her own eyes softening as
they looked into the deep. velvety
ones that would not be denied. Even
as she wondered whether she could
ever really like this magnetic crea-
ture. she felt herself surrendering to
the spell OF her. "But perhaps you
will not like me when you know me
better"
Perhaps" said Mrs. Brood, calmly.
almost indifferently, and dismissed the

famous leader in exactly the same
position he was in the July days Of
1908 and 1909, when the Tigers
were on the topmost pinnacle of fame
-laboriously building and planning
for the future
There has been constant flow of
college and semipro boys through
Shibe park this season. No school
has been barred from sending it's
proteges to Mr.. Mack's institution OF
learning. Return tickets are al
ways supplied, and most of them
used. Connie always gives them a
fair show, too. A good example of
this was seen a few days ago when
the Yanks were playing the Mack
men, double header. Mack started
a young collegian named Haas on the
mound. The Yanks drew Is hits and
16 bases on balls off the youngster
and walloped the Philadelphians, Is
to T. Yet Mack didn't take the kid
out-he let him stick and take his
medicine. The kid, though, used his
return ticket to Worcester Academy
that night.
The same day, however, Mack
drew what looks to be diamond in
the rough. He is young collegian
named Crowell from Boston Pitch
ing his first professional game he
let the Yanks down with three hits
but lost by the tough luck score of
80, when his mates kicked the game
away.
There is probably another reason
why Mack is laboring so diligently
to build up a new machine-he wants
to give some of his knockers the big
guffaw-those who knocked him fol-
lowing the series with the Braves
The roar of the multitude still is
sweet to the tall leader, too, and it
doesn't seem right to him that he
should be completely out in the cold
as far as praise is concerned.

way home and that frequently by
building a highway around hill or
grade but little appreciate distance is
added, and this is more than offset by
the reduced strain of hauling.
The chief dra W back from the farm
owners point of view is that the lay
ing out Of roads on this principle of
cases running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures in
stead of going around the farm line
and building the road through old,
wornout fields and over rocky knolls.
The individual landowner will natural
ly raise question as to whether the
cutting up Of his property by road
will yield individual advantages and
so benefit his community as to Offset
the use of such land for road.
In this connection the government
points out that the rounding Of a road
and the resulting traffic through good
farm, where there are good sheep, cat
tie, horses, grain, fruit or vegetables,
has certain advertising value and in
many instances makes the land more
valuable. In other cases the impor-
lance of such level road to the COM
munity is so great it might we'll repay
those using the road to give the farm
er the. equivalent in land equally good
in place of what he has sacrificed to
the common welfare. T..
At any rate, the government is now
taking special pains to make clear the
economic advantage of avoiding steep
grades in roads, even at some sacrifice
of better land. Investigation shows
that the laying out Of such roads over
hills has resulted more from attention
to the preservation of farm lines than
from scientific attention to the. prob
lem of road building.
According to the testimony Of farm
ers consulted, where a horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on level
road it would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up a steep hill. The size
of the load, therefore, tends to be meas
sured by the grade of the largest hill on
the road to market In many cases
actual experiment shows that the re-.
locating of roads around hills has been
accomplished either with no addition
In road length in some instances or
with the adding of only few feet to
the highway In others. e

By GEORGE R. HOLMES,


Slowly and laboriously, but withal
cheaply, Connie Mack is building a
chassis for a new machine. His ma
terial is costing him nothing, and
all the elongated leader is out is the
time he puts in training it in the way
it should shoot.
By this same simple method, Mack
built up the most famous machine
in two decades-the late lamented
Athletics-only to see it cough,
splutter and finally go headlong in
to the ditch October, 1914. Mack,
it will be remembered, paid practic-
ally nothing for Collins, McInnis,
Barry and Baker, the four members
of the far-famed 100000 infield.'
One cog netted him $4,000, which
was practically so much clear profit,
and but for the defalcation of J.
Franklin Baker, the Athletics stock
holders probably would have stuck
another $4,000 in their pockets.
