jennings entered with a card on =
salver. Elaine took 1t and saw with
surprise the name of her caller:
MADAME sAvETskY,
Medium.
Beneath the engraved name were
the words written in ink: Il have a
message from the spirit of your ia
ther."
Yes. will see her" cried Elaine
eagerly. in response to the buffers In
quiry.
She followed jennings into the ad.
joining room and there found herself
face to face with the hard-featured
woman who had only a few moments
before left the Clutching Hand.
Elaine looked rather than spoke her
inquiry.
Your father. my dear" purred the
medium. with a great pretence of sup
pressed excitement, appeared to me
the other night froe the spirit world
1 was in trance and he asked me to
deliver, message to you
What was the message?" asked
Elaine breathlessly. now aroused to
intense interest.
i must go into trance again to get
it," replied the insinuating Savetsky,
"and II you like l can try it at once,
provided we can be left alone long
enough"
Seated in her chair, the medium
muttered wildly for few moments,
rolled her eyes and with some CON
vulsive movements pretended to go in
TO a trance.
Suddenly the curtains were pulled
aside and Aunt Josephine and Ben
nett. who had just come in. entered
Il can do nothing here" exclaimed
Savetsky, starting up and looking
about severely. You must come to
my seance chamber where we shall
rot be interrupted"
Il WILL" said Elaine. yexed at the
intrusion at that moment Il mus.

What's all this, Elaine?" demanded
Aunt Josephine.
Hurriedly. Elaine poured forth 10
her aunt and Bennett the story of the
mediums visit and the promised mes
sage from her father in the other
world.
Aunt Josephine, who was not one
easily to be itiposed on, strongly OBJ
jected to Elaine's proposal to accom-
pany Savetsky to the seance chamber,
but Elaine would not be denied.
at might be safe for Elaine to go,
Bennett finally suggested to Aunt Jo-
sephine. "if you and l accompanied
her"
A few moments later. in the Dodge
car, Elaine. the medium and her two
escorts started for the Chinese quar-
ters.
AT the house the medium opened the
door with her key and ushered in her
three visitors.
Entering the room. the medium at
once prepared for the seance by pull
ing down the window shades
Suddenly an indistinct face was seen
to be peering through the black cur
tains. A voice, deep. sepulchral, was
heard in slow and solemn tones.
Il am Eeko-the spirit of Taylor
Dodge. l will give no message until
one named Josephine leaves the
room.'
No sooner had the words been ut
tered than the medium came writhing
out of her trance.
What happened?' she asked, look
ing at Elaine.
Elaine reported the spirits words

| urged on by the insane exhortations of
Long Sin.
To my utter amazement. l recog
| nized Kennedy's voice.
In the first onslaught Craig shot one
Chinaman dead, then closed with the
others. slashing right and left with the
Chinese knife he had picked up
Bennett came to his aid. but was
Immediately overcome by two China
men. who evidently had been detailed
for that purpose. Z
Meanwhile Kennedy and the others
were engaged in a terrible life and
death struggle.
Finally. Long Sin, seizing a large
wall-hanging, leaped upon Kennedy
from the back and threw it over his
head. almost suffocating him.
1t was just as the Chinese was about
to overpower him that 1 led the po-
lice and detectives through the pas
sageway of the fireplace.
1t was a glorious fight that followed.
But Long Sin and his Cinnamon were
no match for the police and were soon
completely routed. the police striking
furiously in all directions and clearing
the room.
Instantly Kennedy thought of the
fair object of all this melee. He
rushed to the divan on which he had
placed Elaine.
As she opened her eyes for an in
stant she gazed at Craig, then at Ben
| nett. Still not comprehending just
what had happened, she gave her hand
to Bennett. Bennett lifted her to her
feet and slowly assisted her as she
tried to walk away.
| Kennedy watched them, more stupe-
fled than If he had been struck over
the head by Long Sin.
| Police and detectives were now tai1
ing the captured Cinnamon away, as
Bennett, his arm about Elaine, led her
gently out
young detective had slipped the
bracelets over Long Sins wrist. and l
was standing beside him.
| Kennedy. in a daze at the sight OF
Elaine and Bennett, passed us. scarce
| ly noting who we were.
As Craig collected his scattered
forces Long Sin motioned to him. as
If he. had message to deliver.
| Kennedy frowned suspiciously. He
was about to turn away when the Chi
naman began pleading earnestly for a
chance to say a few words.
| "Step aside for a moment, you fell
lows, won't you, please?" he asked. II
will hear what you have to say, Long
Sim
Long Sin looked about craftily.
What is it," prompted Craig. see-
ing that at last they were all alone.
Long Sin again looked around.
Swear that will go free and not
suffer" he whispered, land l will be-
tray the great Clutching Hand"
Kennedy studied the Chinaman
keenly for moment. Then. seeming
ly satisfied with the scrutiny, he nod
ded slowly assent.
AS Craig did so. saw Long Sin lean
over and whisper into Kennedy's ear
Craig started back in horror and sur
prise. -

: "Back to the busiest" What a
world of scorn, irony and cruelty
that phrase contains. And what
great wealth of wrong it carries:
For back to the bushes in nine
times IN ten means back to the big
cities, not bush towns at all. That's
the irony in it.
The scorn is what the young play
er feels for the elder one he has
crowded off the team and the cruel
ty is the giving the departing pal
the ha-ha as he goes.
While many great ball tossers
have been picked of the green's in
the country towns most OF the real
cracker-jack diamond stars are
from the tincan lots OF the large
burSs of white and red ways.
So that nowadays they tie a tin
to a PLAYER and head him TO the
tall sticks he merely goes back 10

Why, man alive. in the bushes the
lynx-eyed scouts find their annual
phenoms. Take The case of Bobby
Byrne, third baseman of the PhiIa-
delphia Nationals who last year
was something of lemon at second,
where he does not belong.
Bobby was discovered in Shreve-
port, La, which is considered by
ball players to be in the very heart
of BushviIle. yet Byrne was born in
ST. Louis and learned the game on
the corner lots in the irish section
OF The city called Kerry Patch.
Now this case of Bobby Byrne
shows you that to find real ball
player you go TO the bushes and pick
out a city PLAYER. Another thing
brought in this instance is that ST.
Louis failed TO recognize in Byrne

Which leads US into another angle
of the tall timber question. Take
the scouts. tie ivory hunters. as they
are now facctioasIy called because
of the bones they unearth in their
researches.
Some or the smartest men IN The
game arc the ;usk trappers. Most
of them arc graduated big leaeuers
who are too modest or too timid 10
DE umpires or 100 crusty TO be man
ayers.
These chaps are seldom college
graduates: rather are they grad
mates of the lots. yet they can tell
a ball player in the timber as soon
as they spot them at play

THE EDITOR SOLILOQUIZES

THE EDITOR SOLILOQUIZES
When a dearly loved subscriber
writes to US in irate vein: stop
the paper. Never send the vile
sheet to my home again." We
just puff our sweet old corncob,
and we stroke the office cat; edi-
tors don't have no feelings"-
never mind-we're used to that.
When a typographical error
sometime creeps in by mistake,
and our friends rush up and tell
us what first-rate ass we'd
make, we just overlook THEIR
errors, never giving tit for tat;
editors are pachydermic, and
Oh we'll; we're used to that.
When our advertisers cancel,
telling US the sheets no good;
when subscribers choose to pay
US in tomatoes or cordwood, we'll,
we simply grin and bear it,
though it leaves US rather fiat;
editors can exist somehow some
how we get used to that.
When your daughters gradu-
ating, or her wedding day comes
round, you expect the kind OF
write-ups that in adjectives a.
bound, do you ever stop to thank
US, though tits done with great
"eclat;;" that's what editors ,ars
there for, and-Oh, well! We're
used to that.
