WILD FLOWE RS.

\ little bunch of wild flowers
Fresh with the morning dew,
Gathered before the heavy showers
Had hidden them from view.
Two nimble feet sped along
With skirts up lifted high,
Joining the birds in their song
AS swiftly she passed by.
She gathered the flowers to cheer me
AS lay upon my cot,
Sick. alone and weary
Praying to my God.
Sweet wild flowers love you,
Fresh with the morning dew,
Dear kind hands | bless you
For bringing them to view.

Benny Kauff. the Ty Cobb of the
Federal league, seems to have deveI-
oped considerable temperament since
the close of the 1914 campaign. The
wonderful Brookfleld player had sew

to the rumpus with Umpire tombstone
a short time ago which was Indirectly
the cause of his leap across the
Brooklyn bridge. His actions on the
field are taken as further evidence of
the ailment that some folk think

the young officer. not knowing how
significant the words were to the two
ladies.
Then Madame 'Esclignac knew that
she was beaten and that she owed
something and was ready to pay. The
chau1eur got upon his seat and she
asked suavely:
Won't you let us take you home,
Monsieur Sabron?"
He thanked them. He was walking
and had not finished his exercise.

He would, Of course, and watched

TIME TO PACK THE BAT BAG
Manager Griffith Receives Severe Jolt
When He Thinks He Has Game
Securely Tied Up.

Never count your chickens before
they're Matched"
This is a little rule that Clark Grit
fifth ought to paste in his hat.
Griffith was so absolutely sure that
the Nationals would win out after
they piled up a seven-run lead at the
close Of the sixth inning of a game
played with the Detroits last season,
that he refused to be disturbed when
the Tigers got to one Mr.. Engle in
the seventh for a trio of runs.
Then in the eighth he allowed the
lnuch-distressed Engle to fill up the
bags again before sending in Hughes.
Moriarty, the first man to face
Hughes, got double and brought in
three runs, putting the Tigers just one
run behind Washington.
In the ninth inning after the Ma
uonals had their turn at bat Griffith
ordered the bat boy to get out the
black bag and made other prepare
lions for departure as if he were GER
tain that the train would leave on
time. The bats were all packed away
and the players on the bench were
standing up with their excess luggage
in their hands when GandiPs error al
lowed the run that tied the score. In
the extra inning the Tigers pasted up
the winning tally.
Moral-Never pack the bat bag ,un-
til the last man is out.

CHAPTER v.
The Golden Autumn.

Sabron longed for change with au-
tumn, when the falling leaves made
the roads golden roundabout the Cha
teau dEsclignac He thought he
would like to go away He rode his
horse one day up to the property Of
the hard-hearted unforgiying lady and,
nndlng the gate open, rode through
the grounds up to the terrace. Seeing
no one, he sat in his saddle looking
over the golden country to the Rhone
and the castle Of the good King Rene,
where the autumn mists were like ban
ners floating from towers.
There was solitary beauty around
the lovely place that spoke to the
young officer with a sweet melancholy.
| He fancied that Miss Redmond must
often have looked out from one of the
! windows. and he wondered which one.
The terrace was deserted and leaves
from the vines strewed it with red and
golden specters. Pitchoune raced after
them. for the wind started them flying,
and he rolled his tawny little body
over and over in the rustling leaves.

rival of Sabron had been sitting COM

tied away like mad, and Pitchoune,
somewhat hindered by his limp. tore
after it.
The deserted chateau, the fact that
there was nothing in his military life
beyond the routine to interest him
now in Tarascon, made Sabron eagerly
look forward to a change, and he
waited for letters from the minister of
war which would send him to new
post
The following day after his visit to
the chateau he took walk, Pitchoune
at his heels, and stood aside in the
highroad to let a yellow motor pass
him, but the yellow motor at that mo-

The Doc PAYS.

Pitchoune repaid what was given
him.
He did not think that by getting
well, reserving the right for the rest
OF his life to a distinguished limp in
his right leg, that he had done all that
was expected of him. He developed
an ecstatic devotion to the captain,
impossible for any human heart ade-
quately to return. He followed Sab
ron like a shadow and when he could
not follow him, took his place on a
chair in the window, there to sit, his
sharp profile against the light, his
pointed ears forward, watching for the
uniform he knew and admired extrav-
agantly.
Pitchoune was a thoroughbred, and
every muscle and fiber showed it,
every hair and point asserted it, and
he loved as only thoroughbreds can.
You may say what you like about mon
grel attachments, the thoroughbred in
all cases reserves his brilliancy for
crises.
Sabron, who had only seen Miss
Redmond twice and thought about her
countless times, never quite forgave
his friend for the illness that kept him
from the chateau There was in Sab
ron's mind, much as he loved Pit
choune, the feeling that If he had gone
that night
There was never another invitation!
'Voyons, mon cher" his colonel
had said to him kindly the next time
he met him, what stupidity have you
been guilty of at the Chateau d'Escli-
gnac?'
Poor Sabron blushed and shrugged
his shoulders.

while the chauffeur got out to adjust
some portion of the mechanism. Some
one leaned from the yellow motor win

speak to the Marquise d'Esclignac
and another lady by her side.

regretted so very much not having

collar and presented. Sabron shook
off his reticence.

Manager Hughey Jennings is
opposed to his men using their
throwing arms when necessity
does not compel 1t. The Tiger
leader believes that good
many promising ball players
are ruined before their time be-
cause Of the practice of warm
ing up when they should be
sitting on the bench taking
things easy. Hughey insists
that his ball playing days were
shortened by five years because
of the habit of pitching. for
hours before a game. Cobb
has spoiled his arm by pitching
before each game and doing a
lot of unnecessary throwing"

FARRELL AS A COACH
Played Prominent Part in DeveI-
opment of Donovan.
Few Men Better Qualified to Act as
Tutor Than Old-Time Catcher of
Giants Was Backstop for
Amos Russle and Meekin.

A strange coincidence about Charles
Duke Farrell's position as coach for
the Yankee pitchers is the fact that it
was none other than he who played a
prominent part in the development of
Bill" Donovan as a twirler.
When Donovan broke in with Wash
ington in 1898 Farrell was doing the
catching for the team and it was his
coaching as much as Donovan's ability
that helped Donovan to later cut such
a prominent figure in the pennant
chases of the Detroit Tigers. Donovan
and Farrell were also battery mates
in Brooklyn in 1899 and 1900.
There are few men better qualified
to act as coaches than "Duke" Farrell.
