Howard Berry.

tracted considerable attention. 1t Isl
known that several of the big eastern
colleges made strong attempts to land
him.
When Mike Doolan of the PhilliesI
jumped to the Federal league in the!
winter of 1913, and the Phillies were
sorely pressed for good shortstopI
last season, the club attempted to sign
up Berry and went so far in it's bid as
to promise him a regular berth from
the start. However, Berry's parents
had planned college career for him
and refused to allow him to play base
ball professionally.
May Outshine Dorizas.
Berry worked out with the Phillies
many times during last season and the
preceding one and made big hit with
Charlie Doom, then manager Of the
team. Frequently he practiced field
ing with the team before the start of
the games and during the intermission
on double-header days, his work never
failing to draw comment from the
fans.
He is flashy in the field and can hit
any kind of pitching with fair success.
During the summer months he plays
with the strong amateur and travelling
scholastic teams around Philadelphia.
Berry is certain of the quarterback
position on the Penn football team in
1916. He packs considerable weight
and is speedy In covering ground. 1t
is probable that he may outshine big
Mike Dorizas as PENIS all-around ath.

CHAPTER XVII.
VaIor in Retrospect.

NatOT III retrospect
In the month of May, when the
chestnuts bloom in the green dells.
where the delicate young foliage
holds the light as in golden cups. a
young man walked through one of the
small allees of the Bots at the fash
fonable noon hour, little reddish dog
srotting at his heels. The young man
walked with an imperceptible limp.
He was thin, as men are who have
lived hard and who have overcome
tremendous obstacles. He was tanned
as men are Drowned who have come
from eastern and extreme southern
countries.
The little dog had also an imper-
ceptible limp occasioned by bicycle
running over him when he was a
puppy.
The two companions seemed i'm
mensely to enjoy the spring day Sab
ron every now and then stood for a
few moments looking at the gay
passers-by, pedestrians and eques-
TRANS, enjoying to the full the repose
of civilization, the beauty of his own
land.
Pitchoune looked with indifference
upon the many dogs. He did not stir
from his masters side. When Sabron
was quiet, the little animal stood at
attention; he was a soldiers dog. He
could have told dog stories to those
Insignificant worldly dogs could
have told of really thrilling adven-
lures. His brown eyes were pathetic
with their appeal of affection as they
looked up at his beloved master. He
had a fund of experience such as the
pOodles and the terriers led by their
owners could not understand. There
fore Pitchoune was Indifferent to them.
Not one of those petted, ridiculous
house dogs could have run for miles
IN the dark across an African desert,
could have found Benz Medinet and
fetched relief to his master. Pitchoune
was proud Of it. He was very well
satisfied with his career He was
still young; other deeds of valor per-
haps lay before him-who can tell?
At any rate he had been shown about
ri The ministry of war, been very
much admired. and he was proud
animal.
When Sabron spoke to him he leaped
upon him and wagged his tail. After
lew moments, as the two stood near
Ine exit of an alice leading to one
VI uie grand avenues, Pitchoune slowly

need little developing and the Ma
room coaches, cognizant of this, are
spending major portion of their time
teaching the youngsters the tricks
necessary for varsity linesman.
The material at the disposal of the
Maroon leaders this year is not quite
as bulky as they would like to have
it, but the coaches are attempting to
develop speed as an Offset for the lack
of weight.
All in all, Chicagos outlook for 1915
is not as bright as it was in 1914
but outlooks oftentimes deceive.

enCe of the young man would have
been agreeable if it had not been for
his jealousy and his unhappiness.
They played piquet together. Sab
ron, in his right mind, thinner and
paler, nevertheless very much of a
man, now smoked his cigarettes and
ate his three meals day. He took a
walk every day and was quite fit to
leave the Orient. fremont said:
Il think, Sabron, that we can sail
this week"
Sabron looked at him questioningly.
You are going. then, too"
"Of course" said the young noble
man heartily. I'VE are going together
You know 1 am going to take you

Sabron hesitated and then said:
NO, mon vieux, if you will excuse
me l think l shall remain faithful to
the old line of travel 1 have an idea
that l am not in yachting trim"
fremont was not too dull to have
noticed his friends change of attitude
toward him. He smoked for a few
moments and then said:
When we get back to Paris I want
to have the pleasure of introducing
you to my f1ancee."
Sabron dropped his cards.

Then putting out his hand, said cor
daily: 81 knew you were to be felici-
tated, old fellow"
fremont shook his hand warmly.

A very warm. color flushed the
cheeks of the invalid He remem-
bered all he had heard and all he had
known. He congratulated his friend
with sincere warmth, and after a few
moments said:
If you really want me to go back
with you on the yacht, old chap"
1 really do" said fremont Sc
renely. You see, when we came on
the boat we scarcely hoped to be so
fortunate as to bring back the distin-
gushed captain
Sabron smiled.
But you have not told me yet" he
said, why you came down"
NO" said fremont, that is true.
Well, it will make a story for the
sea"

GREAT NEED TO STOP WASTE
Lesson That Should Be Impressed
on America by the Frlehtful
War in Europe.

Waste is the crime of today, and 1t
awful war: waste in human life, in
hope, In love. and in the common
savings of us all. Millions of dollars
worth of the savings of the people OF
this earth, all of them our brothers
and our sisters, are daily burned up,
exploded, and wasted in the madness
of the nations; and even that is
trif1e when we compare it to the gseat
human value of the lives that are
lost. 1t will not make any people
rich; and we Americans, rarely fortu.
nate in not being involved in the aw-
full strife, shall find our part of the
burden to bear. Some time the war
will be over, and then waste must
stop; it must stop If we are to adj
vance in humanity and civilization
over and beyond the yawning gap
made by the lust of blood, pride OF
race, and the vanity Of kings. The
war has been in progress but little
while and already the cost OF 1t is De-
ing borrowed from future generations;
extra hard labor and sweat must
come from infants now at their
mothers breasts, to make good this
debauch of blood and fire. And in
the very measure that we waste is the
sentence at hard labor upon the ris'
ing generation prolonged We cannot
get out of it by being American: the
debt is upon us. - unequal measure
it is true, but the DEBT, the obligation
to make up the losses, is upon us ala
Atlantic.

sword hitting against the stairs.
The Marquise d'Esclignac gave a
brilliant little dinner to the colonel
of Sabron's squadron. There were
present general or two, several men
of distinction, and among the guests
were the Due de fremont and Madame
de la Maine. Sabron, when he found
himself at table, looked at everything
as though in dream. Julia Redmond
sat opposite him. He had sent her
flowers and she wore them in her
bodice. Madame de la Maine bent
upon the young officer benignant eyes,
the Due de fremont glanced at him
affectionately, but Sabron was only
conscious that Julia's eyes did not
meet his at ALL
They talked of Sabron's captivity,
of the engagement in Africa, of what
the army was doing, would not do, or
might do, and the fact that the Due
de fremont was to receive the deco
ration Of the Legion or Honor in
July. fremont toasted Sabron and
the young officer rose to respond with
flushing face. He looked affection
ately at his friend who had brought
him from death into life. The mo-
ment was intense, and the Marquise
d'Esclignac lifted her glass:
NOW, gentlemen, you must drink TO
the health of Pitchoune."
There was a murmur of laughter.
Madame de Ia Maine turned to Sab
ron:
Il have had collar made for Pit
choune; it is of African leather set
with real turquoise"
Sabron bowed: "Pitchoune will be
perfectly enchanted, Madame; he will
wear it at your wedding"

RABBIT SETS PACE
FOR BALL PLAYER

The middle West has added
another interesting item to the
baseball chronicles of the year
with a story of a rabbit which
acted as pacemaker for a bat
ter who had driven out home
run. The incident occurred at
ST. Cloud, Mimi, when Thielman
of the home team lifted long
hit to center field, which started
a rabbit hidden in the long
grass.
The four-legged spectator of
the game, frightened by the ball,
ran toward the infield, reaching
second base just ahead of Thiel-
man. Touching the bag, the
rabbit headed for third, and in
order to avoid the bleachers
turned at that bag and crossing
the home plate disappeared I'M
der the grand stand. Thielman
was right at the rabbits heels
in the race for the plate and
was credited with a circuit hit,
but the scorer refused to give
the rabbit home run, claiming
that it had not touched first
base.

THE REAL "DR|vE" IS
NOW UNDER WAY

Millions and millions of cata-
lOgues are mailed each year. The
vely lowest estimate that can be
given on the catalogues sent out
from one mail o,der house is six
million large aud sixty million
small catalogues mailed out in one
year.

Now we are getting to the point

Now we are getting to the point.
Having secured catalogue con
tanning cuts and prices and de
scriptiOns, an order was sent to a
mail order house. When in six
teen days the goods arrived, the
canned goods were opened. side by
side, with the canned good of a
merchant i'm town. taken right off
bis shelves. with the following re-
suit: in not one instance did the
mail order products compare with
the local merchants products none
Of the best equaled the best of the
local merchant. some compared
with the second and third grade
which the local merchant carried,
but none with his best. However
they are advertised as the best
money cOttlu Ou!.
Now then why could not large
concern such as we have in mind,
sell goods Of as fine a grade, for as
reasonable a price as any large
WHOLESALE HOUSE
The mail order house we refer
to sends out something like sixty
million small catalogues. and sixty
million large ones each wear, IN
round numbers at cost OF eight
million dollars.
They boast of doing a business of
one hundred millions year which
is admitting that their catalogues
cost them eight per cent Of their
receipts
Now just who pays for these cat
aloguesl The consumer does.
Your friends pay for it. At
least eight cents on every dollar
they spend goes to pay for cata'
logues. and the estimate Of eight
per cent Of the gross receipts of
the catalogue house we have in
mind, is very conservative.
We have in mind several whole
sale manufacturing wholesale gro
cery concerns. They sell food
stuff to our local merchants. Some
have as many as 5000 stores indi-
vidually and buy and sell more gro
ceries than any mail order house
in America or the world, for that
matter, They stand ready to prove
he assertion. They say; AS re-
suit, THEY CAN BUY CHEAP
RE. THAN ANY NAIL ORDER
HOUSE. Their only advertising
is their salesman salary and ex.
penses. which are less than three
per cent of their sales, and mind
that is three per cent of wholesale
