A Queens Sympathy.

A kindly little act that shows some
thing Of the quick wit and ready SYM
pathy of Queen Helena of Italy Is re-
corded by TOuche Tout. Some years
ago the coral fishers of Tore del
Greco, near Naples. we're in hard
straits. The value of coral had fallen
SO low that they we're no longer able
to find purchasers for their harvest.
At last in their despair they besought
the queen to come to their aid.
At the first great court ball that was
held that year at the Quirinal, the
queen, to the surprise of all beholders,
wore about her neck a collar composed
OF six rows of coral instead of her
superb collar of pearls, and her black
hair was crowned with a diadem of
coral and brilliants. From that eve
ming the mode changed. Old coral or.
naments that had been hidden away
for years and years were again dis
played at the jewellers, and were
snapped up by eager purchasers.
Queen Helena's object was attained,
and that court ball marked the begin
ming Of more prosperous days for the
coral fishers of Tore del Greco.

Just then we could distinguish q

"No-that's not jennings" cried

behind her, in the same direction.
In the library Clutching Hand was
now frantically searching for the
spring. He heard Elaine coming and

as she entered.
With hasty look about, she saw
no one. Then she went quickly to the
panel, found the spring and pressed

she had begun to worry over the safe

Men Love II for the Opportunities 70

Baseball is the most dangerous
game known to history. When 1t
comes to mortality lists, baseball
leaves football lap behind in a six

ticians have figured it out that it is
430 times as destructive to human life
as Mexican revolution. and almost

ly it kills of so many aunts, uncles
and grandparents that thinking peo-
pie wonder how the undertakes can
stand the steady work. For example,
In the course of one thrilling pennant
race. our Office boy lost seven grand
mothers.
For all that, we love baseball Even
In spite Of The grand-stand humorist,
we love 1t. 1t Is our national game.
We feel that, since this country was
to give US baseball. our Revolutionary
sires did not bleed and die in vain.
Men have much reason to love base
ball. 1t gives them the chance to ad-
mire skill, speed. strength. nerve.
courage and determination, and to
learn the latest slang and most pep
full repartee. 1t gives them the
cnance to boldly abuse and insult
other men without fear of conse-
quences and to exhibit their wit be-
fore large crowds. 1t gives them the
chance to set up real heroes and bow
down to them. Statesmen are cor
rupt. generals fight from their tents.
literary lions are pale, weak bodies.
But baseball heroes are real heroes.
And it-baseball-also gives men the
opportunity to be as loud and silly
and joyously unrepressed as they
want to be, without being laughed at. .
Young women like baseball, too. and
some Of them understand it remark
ably well. Some Of them are said to
Lnow the difference between the
pitcher and the umpire. There is q
legend that once there was a young
woman who could watch a whole
game without asking: What are
they doing now" and tell which side
won at the end But that is believed
to have been written by Grimm.
Young women do not care so much

A woman always gets some enjoy

1t is not always wise to take a
young woman to the ball game, no
matter how she dotes on it. She may
not notice the difference when they
stop batting up flies and begin the
g;.me. She may think the pitcher
and catcher are playing against each
other, and complain because one of
them does not quit and give that cute
fellow with such jaunty air a turn.
She may mistake the catcher breast

his back toward him.
Dan turned slowly and made the
sign Of the hand. Turning to his
chauffeur, the master criminal spoke
a few hurried words in low tone and
the driver hurried on.
A few minutes later the driver
might have been seen entering q near.
by drug store and going into the tele-

hesitation he called upon the Dodge
house. and Marie, Elaine's maid, an.
swered.

Marie went toward the library, leav-
Ing the telephone OF the hook. Dan
was washing the windows, half in
side, half outside the house, while Jen-
nings was trying to be very busy, al
though 1t was apparent that he was
watching Dan closely.
"A friend Of yours wants to speak
to you over the telephone, jennings"
said Marie, as she came into the
library.
The butler responded slowly, with a
covert glance at Dan.
NO sooner had they gone, however,
than Dan climbed all the way into the
room. ran to the door and looked after
them. Then he ran to the window.
Across and down the street, the
Clutching Hand was gazing at the
house. He had seen Dan disappear
and suspected that the time had come.
Sure enough, there was the sign of
the hand. He hastily got out Of the
car and hurried up the street. All
this time the chauffeur was keeping
Jennings busy over the telephone with
some trumped-up story.
AS the master criminal came in by
the ladder through the open window,
Dan was on guard, listening down the
hallway. A signal from Dan, and
Clutching Hand slid back of the por-
