President Comiskey has unbelted
the information that he can have First
Baseman Jack Ness of the Oakland
(Cal.) team, who has been making rec
ords on the coast, if he wants him. He
isn't sure that he does, in spite Of the
string of 40 games in which Ness
made at least one hit.
The fact that Jimmy Johnston is
running second to Ness among the
Coast league batsmen and setting the
league afire in other ways makes the
work of Ness less impressive to Comis-
key than it would otherwise appear,
because Johnston has had several
trials in fast company with both the
White Sox and Cubs in the past half
dozen years, and has failed to cope

of which his brother, Bob, was also a
part.
After the game the boys went to
the hotel and retired for the night.
On reaching dreamland Wally's mind
turned from bowling to baseball, and
this fact is what caused all the rum

guests into pandemonium.

Il touched him when he was two feet

but when the other members of the

had the strangle hold on brother
Bob and had nearly choked him black
in the face.
They had some trouble in waking
him up and making him understand
that he was not playing the great ma

was not Ty Cobb, the player he was
trying to put out at the home plate
When Wally was thoroughly awake

fremont said:
You see the fellow is half lunatic
and probably knows nothing about

But Miss Redmond paid no atten-

her voice and asked the man:
WAS the Capitaine de Sabron
alone?"

with glance of disgust at the duke,

with a catch in her voice, "do you

My name" said the native, "is

To her at this moment Hammet
Abou was the most important person
in North Africa.
What was the little dogs name,
Hammet Abou?"
The man raised his eyes and looked
at the white woman with admiration.
'Pitchoune," he said, and saw the
effect.
fremont saw the effect upon her,

initials upon it, together with a little
package of letters. On the top she
saw her letter to him. Her hand
trembled so that she could scarcely
hold the package. 1t seemed to be all

HUNTING on Lower Colorado.

To the hunter of game. both large
and small, the Colorado will appear
most notable as being the gateway to
what is undoubtedly the best easily
reached shooting ground in North
America, the delta country about the
head Of the Gulf of California in Mex
leo. Here, besides wealth of bird
life that is equaled by few regions in
the world, are to be found wild pig or
iayelin. deer, mountain lion, jaguar,
wildcat, coyote. antelope and noun
tain sheep. The delta country, with
it's hunting, is generally the objective
of the Colorado voyageur in any case,
and for one whose time is limited the
most expeditions plan will be to outnt
at Yuma and float down the river to
the end of the gulf from that point.
With plenty of time at ones disposal
it will be worth while to make the
Needles the point of embarkation, as
the stretch between there and Yuma
offers a rare combination of fine
scenery with safe going that Ia equaled
by few streams in Manufacturing.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Two Lovely Women.

There was music at the Villa des
Bougainvilleas. Miss Redmond sang;
not Goodnight, God Keep You Safe"
but other things. Ever since her talk
with Hammet Abou she had been,
if not gay, in good spirits, more like
her old self, and the Marquise d'Esclig-
nae began to think that the image Of
Charles de Sabron had not been cut
too deeply upon her mind. The mar
quise, from the lounge in the shadow
Of the room, enjoyed the picture
(Sabron would not have added it to
his collection) of her niece at the
piano and the Due de fremont by her
side. The Comtesse de la Maine sat
in a little shadow of her own, musing
and enjoying the picture Of the Duo
de fremont and Miss Redmond very
indifferently. She did not cling; she
had no parlor accomplishments. She
was poor, widow, and had a child.
She was not a brilliant match.

FRANK SNYDER MAKING GOOD
Catcher Developed in National
League in Many a Day.

If autos were offered for players
who show greatest progress in their
profession in their first year out in
the big shows, then Frank Snyder of
the ST. Louis Cardinals surely would
take a car home with him this fall.
Opinion generally is agreed that not
only is he the best young catcher
developed In the National league in
many day, but he also ranks high
in the most valuable player to his
team" column. He has caught the
bulk of the games played by the Car
dinals, and Higgins would have been
in sad way without him.
Snyder was picked up in Texas
as lad Of eighteen by Jack Burke
in the spring of 1912 for the Flint
team Of the Southern Michigan league,
which Burke was to manage. Dick

was afraid of the double steal and
gave Bush the signal to look out for it..
''He threw to first, trying to drive
the runner back, but just as he raised
his arm Cobb started for the plate.
The ball was returned to Bush from
first and he whipped it home to me.
I tagged Cobb fully two feet before
he got home, but the umpire called
him safe.
Il was crazy, and I guess I'd have
choked Bobby to death if you boys
had not come into the room. 1t was
one of the most real games I ever
played"

with major league pitching well
enough to stay.
Comiskey has first claim on Ness,
because he holds a blanket option on
the Oakland team in return for play
ers released TO that club.
This does not include Johnston, who
joined the Oaks later and is under op-
ton to the Cubs, but it does include
Ness.
However, the master of the White
Sox will have the Oakland team looked
over carefully before deciding which
player to pick, and will not pick Ness
simply on his record of hitting safely
40 straight games, although several
other club owners are reported to be
angling for that player.

Do you believe him? asked Julia

capable of robbing the dead body of

The man was silent. He clutched
the rags at his breast and looked az
Julia Redmond.

dark eyes seemed to pierce her.

boldly, would you leave me a mo-

Julia Redmond put out slim hand,

"Hammet Abou," she said, "go

waiting to speak again to Monsieur

of the garden like shadow, as
though his limbs were not weak with

When Monsieur de fremont had
walked once around the garden, keep

she ran up the stairs and into the
