 "No, thanks" he said, 'T am not so stupid as to play d game of hearts with coqucttc Your victims arc already sufficiently numerous without adding so unworthy d person as myself"
 You know very well what mean You simply wish to say something smart"
 She was shulIling the cards, but her mind was not on them. What her mind Was on, or, rather, what was on her mind, cid not interest him. She was right in inferrlug that his remark Was intended for something smart.
 While she was ii5plcssly shutBlng the cards she leaned forward so that the perfume of u flower she wore In her cOrsagc Was periIOusly near his nose. Her red lips were still nearer his. She was looking down at the cards, but presently raised her eyes. They met his resting upon her admiringly, but she dropped them at once.
 Shall tell your fortune" she asked.
 "Do."
 She began to distribute the cards on the table in four piles. Whenever she put card on tue fourth pile she paused and studied 1t. He asked her what process she was using and she told him 1t was one she had learned from a fortune teller. A spider laying for fly Is not expected to speak the truth.
 She put down four cards, then an- other four cards, the second fourth card being the knave of spades,
 That's you" she said.
 'Im no kuaye"
 "But you're awfully smart You scintilIate with bright sayings"
 He swallowed this little bit of pre- llminary bait, and 1t made him hungry for more.
 Presently the ten of diamonds fell on the second pile of cards.
 That's a wealthy girl who is angling for you,' said the fortune teller
 "What's her nameT
 "I know her name, but I'm not going to tell you"
 The two of spades fell In the first pile,
 "A black deuce indicates that she is crafty. Better look out for her. She will make you Q lot of trouble"
 The ten of hearts fell on the first pile.

GOOD STREET LIGHTING

Around the world progressive Amer ican cities are noted especially for good street lighting. It Is not the White Ways of the big cities that deserve this comment as much as the second and third cities, like Syracuse, Scran- ton, Rochester, Schenectady, Toledo and Denver, where street lighting Is the lure which draws purchasers to the city markets from distances within radius of more than 100 miles. Street lighting Is the barometer of the city's growth-the more lighting you see the more you are certain that the city is

 One CEher very important feature that adds to the city's welfare is the safety that results from well lighted streets. The brighter the lights the less likelihood of theft and other crimes. The more lights a city burns the fewer policemen 1t needs and the smaller may be Its police stations.

Says He Prefers a Weak Team

Word Is Unreliable.

Connie Mack. manager Of the Phila-
delphia Athletics. denies that he has
blacklisted Frank Baker. his slussing
third baseman, who Is holding out for
moro money. Connie also says that he
gave Baker a chance to be sold to some
other club in the league, but that
Baker declined, claiming he wasn't
compla ming about his salary figures.
Il do not want Baker" he says; he
has not treated my club fairly. I gave
him a chance in February to be sold to
some other club in case he wanted
more money than we could pay him.
He then said that 1t was not money
that would keep him out, but a deter
rnination not to play ball. By playing
with Upland he proves that he does
want to play.
IT have not blacklisted Baker. and
will not do so. Under our contract !
cannot prevent him from returning and
playing with us IL case he wants to
do so. We miss him. but prefer hav-
ing a losing club to having on my
team a man whose word is unreliable" "
