Matty Is more dearly beloved Of New

did not score fewer than % victories
in any campaign up to 1915. 1t was
in 1908 that Big Six won 81 games, his
best performance, while In 1904 he
pitched 33 victories. Matty took part
in four worlds series--in 1905, 1911,
1912 and 1918. His magnificent pitch

Giants to win three of their games

DIR. f. Robbins of New York urges

the customary cotton rag is replaced
by the cheap and clean japanese paper

Hers had been hard, practical ex-

about them had stif:ed and chilled the

&c. when Bryan Wylie continued to

LA GUAYRA NOT BEAUTIFUL
Little Port, However, 10 Known All
over the World as the Gateway Of
Venezuela.

La Guayra is the gateway of Ven.
ezuela. Through this little port passes
everything, from cowhides shipped to
New York to diplomats bound for Car
acas. La Guayra is the warden of
the shipping, the connecting link be-
tween the capital and the world.
Since La Guayra's principal excuse
for existence Is found In the ships that
come and go, 1t Is altogether fitting
and proper that the life and architec-
ture Of the town should center on the
water front. At It's widest the city is
only few blocks wide and 1t is built
on the sloping beach In a long curve
that fronts throughout its length on
the busy wharves. The impression
given Is that Of some great outdoor
theater. engrossed in the doings be-
low.
The old castle on the hillside is fall
ing In ruins, even the bullring is not
In as good repair as 1t might be, but
the great concrete breakwater, one Of
the most daring Of engineering works
In South America in it's day, is kept
groomed up to the minute. The day
OF castles is past, but the usefulness
OF the breakwater that makes the har-
Dor is only beginning. The long con-
crete dixie runs out to sea for 1900
feet, rising half a dozen yards above
the waves that beat Its sides, turning
what was one Of the most dangerous
OF anchorages into one of the safest.
The little city itself is neither beau
hful nor particularly pleasant to live
In. The streets are narrow, the houses
mean, except for a few on the princi-
pal business street. The heat is al
ways intense and the well-to-do In La
Guayra generally live in one Of the
cooler seaside hamlets up or down the
coast. The picturesque peak of Pic

largely responsible for the heat, for
besides decorating the landscape. the

Wherever you 90 in Guayra your
road Is pretty sure to lead back to the
wharves. Almost always there is q
ship there, loading or unloading, the
swarthy porters hustling the bales Of
hides, the bags Of coffee and cacao.

that almost knocks the idle onlooksn

She would have retreated, but 1t was
too late. The storekeeper was Bryan
Wylie, and he came out animatedly
to greet her. Her quick eye told her
that he was a disappointed man and
she fingered. He told her SO himself,
after she had consented to sit down
and chat over old times.
Her dreary tale was soon recited.
That OF Bryan was quite as depress-
Ing. He had come to the city, had
found work and saved some money. A
chance had offered to invest In the
present store. He had done so, to his
cost.

He jumped at the suggestion. He

"You may. can't!' he answered
her frankly. II shall always love you.
but no word of 1t shall pass my lips
to offend you"
Huldah entered upon her duties. She
was at the store at eight in the MORN
Ing and left at six In the afternoon.
Bryan got chance to work tempo,
rarily as travelling salesman in the
suburbs. Huldah advised him to ac-
cept the position, and let her see what
she could make out Of the little store.
"Why, Huldah !" he exclaimed, as he
returned from his first trip; "what
does this mean?"
For, marvelously, magically, the
space had been doubled and took in
two entrances, one on the main street. |
Il had chance to get lease Of |
the store back of this and risked it."
explained Huldah. 1.-THE people you
buy from were willing to double the |
stock on long terms of payment and |
we are keeping three clerks and last |
week we made one hundred dollars

Bryan. "Oh, Huldah! l am a sad |

once to 90 to the city and find myself

have found me, indeed"
The store thrived, and when BRYAN
returned to the city after his trips it
was like some joyous homecoming.
One day he said to Huldah:
Il spoke about your finding me.
Please don't let me get lost again I"
and that broke the ice toward further
discussion. Huldah forgot the restric-
lion concerning the subject of love,
