THE CONFLICT OF CHOICE
BY OKISON SWEET MARDEN.

"All the beauty and wonder OF life
lie in the choice we make. and all the
tragedy. too
, This is literal truth. And we are
constantly called upon to choose. The
great refusal or the great acceptance
is not made once in a life time. but
every day. Nay. every moment of our
we are called on to use our judgment.
our experience, our faith, our self-con-
fidence in making our decision.
Going through life is like travelling
down a long corridor which constantly
presents closed doors on either side
alternate doors-one of which we must
open and pass through irrevocably.
We cannot make use of both doors.
nor can we retrace our steps. nor even
reconsider our choice, once the latch
has been lifted. We must abide by
our decision There are no eN-
changes. We must do our considering
before we choose, not after. And the
choice once made. whether for good or
ill. for better or worse, We must pay
the full price.
Does it not lend a wonderful dignity
and meaning to our individual lives to
realize that each smallest act of ours
and the motive which gave il birth IL
of moment to the whole universe? Is
il not a wonderful stimulus to remem-
Der that when we choose rightly, even
to the smallest things in the dayS
routine we are not only shaping for
ourselves finer brains. cleaner bodies,
more beautiful lives. but are also max
ing the way easier and the path
clearer for those who will come after
us throughout all time?
1t isn't always an easy matter to
choose. We are often confronted by
crises which place us in the same
dilemma as that in which a traveller when
a strange country finds himself when
he comes to cross roads where there
is neither guide nor post to direct him
on his way. There are many such
cross roads in life. Our interests. our
motives. our duties. our inclinations
and impulses. what We ought to do and
what we like TO do. our passions and
emotions-these are constantly clash

"They say Hans Wagner is going
back, said Fred Clarke, Pittsburgh
manager. 'If he is, l wish only had
eight more like him who are going
back. That big Dutchman looks good
for many more seasons yet, and if he
isn't in there playing at the same old
stride that he is now showing, when
some of the youngsters in the big
leagues are drifting to the minors,
lose my guess"
What is the secret of Wagner's
longevity" was asked.
For a second the Pirate leader sat
silent, and then answered.:
"The reason that Hans Wagner has
lasted so long and bids fair to be one
of the most prominent ball players for
some time to come is because he does
not try to save himself He doesn't
try to conserve his energy, but is
playing for all he is worth at all times.
That is why Hans Wagner has lasted
such a length of time.
ut does not sound consistent, but
nevertheless it is so. Too many ball
players try to save themselves, hop

ing that by reserving their energy
they will be able to prolong their
baseball careers. Well, such is far
from being the case Instead the re-
verse happens more frequently.
Look at Ty Cobb, for instance.
Does Ty get hurt frequently? If he
does you hear of it. Yet who is there
to deny that Cobb takes many long
chances?
I'm my estimation Wagner is the
greatest ball player not only of the
day, but of all times. When he passes

ing, base running, head work, in every
possible respect on the diamond, Wag-
ner is as good as any of them. Granted
that Cobb and Lajoie are his equals in
playing ability, Wagner surpasses
them when you consider disposition,
which is one quality of a ball player
not to be overlooked. Wagner is the
easiest man to handle on or off the
field that l ever met anywhere, and
it is that that makes him the greatest
ball player of all times"

Bees TO Fioht Troops.

In the bush fighting in East Africa
the Germans and their black troops
placed hives of wild bees. partially
stupefied by smoke, under lids on each
side of narrow tracks along which our
troops must advance. Wires or cords
lifted the lids when touched by the
advancing troops, and swarms of infu-
rated bees, recovered from their tenn
porary stupor, were let loose on the at
tackers. The failure Of the attack at
certain points is said to have been due
as much to this onslaught of the Tit
tie people" as to the German rifles
and machine-guns, many men being
so horribly stung on the face or hands
as to be temporarily blinded or rem
dered incapable of holding their weap-
ons. Over one hundred stings are said
to have been extracted from one OF
the men of the Royal North Lam
cashires Mall.

CHAPTER XII.
The News From Africa.

It took the better part of three eve
nings to answer her letter, and the
writing of it gave Sabron vast
amount of pleasure and some tender
sorrow. 1t made him feel at once so
near to this lovely woman and at once
so far away. In truth there is great
difference between spahi on an AT
rican desert, and young American
heiress dreaming in her chintz-covered
bedroom in a chateau in the Midi OF
France.
Notwithstanding, the young Amerl-
can heiress felt herself as much alone
in her chintz-covered bedroom and as
desolate, perhaps more so, than did
Sabron in his tent. Julia Redmond
felt. too, that she was surrounded by
people hostile to her friend.
Sabron's letter told her of Pitchoune
and was written as only the hand OF
charming and imaginative Frenchman
can write a letter. Also, his pent-up
heart and his reserve made what ne
did say stronger than if perhaps he
could have expressed it quite frankly.
Julia Redmond turned the sheets
that told of Pitchoune's following his
master, and colored with JOY and pleas
ure as she read. She wiped away two
tears at the end, where Sabron said:
Think of it. Mademoiselle. little dog
following his master from peace and
plenty, from quiet and security, into the
desert! And think what it means to have
this little friend!
Julia Redmond reflected, was great
ly touched and loved Pitchoune more
than ever. She would have changed
places with him gladly 1t was an
honor, a distinction to share a sol

CATCHER FOR BUFFALO FEDS
Walter Blair, Former Yankee Star, Is
Great Help to Bisons on Ac-
count of Steadiness.

Walter Blair, star catcher of the
Buffalo Federal league club, was born
at Lewisburg, Pa, on October Is, 1885.
He started his professional career
with the Williamsport club of the
Tri-State league in 1905. He remained
with that club until the fall of 1907,
when he was purchased by the New
York American league club.
While in New York Blair looked
like star for two years, but injuries
and bad breaks of luck soon had the
Gotham fans sour on him, and in the
fall of 1909 he was sent to the Roches-

SYNOPSIS.

LIE .Comte de Sabron, captain OF French
cavalry, takes to his quarters to raise by
hand motherless Irish terrier pup. and
names it Pitchoune. He dimes with the
Marquise 6'Esclignac and meets Miss
Julia Redmond, American heiress, who
sings for him an English ballad that
fingers in his memory. Sabron is ordered
to Algiers. but is not allowed to take
servants or dogs. Miss Redmond offers to
take care of the dog during his masters
absence, but Pitchoune, homesick for his
master, runs away from her. The Mar
Qu1se plans to marry Julia to the Due de
fremont. Unknown to Sabron, Pitchoune
follows him to Algiers. Dog and master
meet and Sabron gets permission from
ahe war minister to keep his dog with him.

his release to Memphis, and he led the
Southern league in hitting that year.
His fame has grown so fast that both
New York and Brooklyn put in drafts
for him. The Dodgers won, and Dau-
bert has been with that squad ever
since.
Critics differ regarding Daubert, but
the general impression is he ranks
among the three best first basemen
in the country-the trio being "Stuf-
fly" McInnis of the Athletics; "HaI"
Chase of the Buffeds, and Daubert.
Daubert admits that the accident to
the first sacker in that Lykens prac-
tice made him what he is today.
