RYAN was trained in the smartcst
baseball school ever known, and, with
few exceptions, he knew more base
ball and PLAYED ii better than any man
that ever has played the game. Even
among such men as Mike Kelley,
Tommy Burns, Ed Williamson, Fred
Pfeffer and Walter Wilmot, Ryan was
recognized as one of their peers, and
in many ways he was smarter than
any Of them.
Ryan has one remarkable record.
He played on the Chicago club for
10 years without a contract OF any
sort and fulfilled every verbal agree
ment. One season we came home
from A trip and Jim drew his check.
He looked at II curiously. tossed II
over to Jim Hart, the president, and
remarked: "How's that. jim? Isn't
Il too much7" NO" remarked Hart,
II raised you $3.50 this year"
II was May at that time and Ryan

What right had we to come in here?"
No one In authority was present;

Judge for years and never expected
to be so again. His secret!-always

Of vital Importance by the events OF

negro! Were they to miss its solution,
when only door lay between It and
them-a door which they might not

was about to utter an impassioned ap.
peal to their honor, when the current
of her and their thoughts was changed
by sudden sense OF some strange
new Influence at work in the room, and
turning, they beheld the Judge Upon
his feet, his mind awakened, but his
eyes still fixed-an awesome figure;
some thought more awesome than be-
fore.
Death was present with them-he
saw 1t not. Strangers were making
havoc with his solitude-he was as
oblivious of their presence as he had
been unconscious OF II before. His
faculties and all his attention were
absorbed by the thought which had
filled his brain when the cogs of that
subtle mechanism had slipped and his
faculties paused inert.

1t was an awful and a terrifying
sight to little Miss Weeks and. scream
ing loudly, she left her window and
ran into Judge ostrander's presence
and, gazing wildly about, wormed her
way toward a heavily carved screen
guarding distant corner and covered
down behind It.
The gasping. struggling men, the
frantic negro. were in the next room
now-she could catch the sound of the
latter's painting breath rising above
the clamor of strange entreaties and
excited cries with which the air was
full; then quick. hoarse shout OF
Judge! Judge!" rose in the doorway,
and she became conscious Of the pres.
ence OF n headlong. rushing force
struck midway into silence as the fro.
zen figure Of his master flashed upon
the negro's eyes-then-a growl Of
concentrated emotion, uttered almost
IN her ear, and the screen which had
been her refuge was violently thrust
away from before her and in its place
she beheld a terrible being standing
over her. in whose eyes, dilating under
this fresh surprise, she beheld her
doom. even while recognizing that II
she must suffer it would be simply
as an obstacle to some goal at her
back which he must reach-now-be
fore he fell in his blood and died.
What was this goal? AS she felt
herself lifted, nay, almost hurled aside.
she turned to see and found it to be a
door before which the devoted Bella
had now thrown himself, guarding It
with every inch of his powerful but
rapidly sinking body, and chattering
defiance with his bloodless, quivering
lips-a figure terrible in anger, sub.

falling energies.

stopped, clutching at the door casing
on either side to hold himself erect.

The intensity of the question, the
compelling. self.forgetful passion OF
the man. had startling effect upon
the crowd of people huddled before
him. With one accord, and without
stopping to pick their way, they made
for the open doorway, knocking the
smaller pieces Of furniture about and
creating havoc generally. Some fed
the house; others stopped to peer in

curtain which had been only partially

his attention to herself.
But he did not notice her, any more
than he had noticed the others. Still
looking in the one direction, he cried
aloud in troubled tones:
"She stood there! the woman stood

How dared you! How dared she!"
Then as his mind regained its full
poise, And how, even if you had the
temerity to venture an entrance here,
did you manage to pass my gates?
They are never open. Bella sees to

As she watched she saw his eyes,
fixed up to now upon her face, leave it
and pass furtively and with many hest

that spot behind him where lay the
