FEDERAL LEAGUE
STARSFALLDOWN
Did Not Prove Big Help to
Major Leagues; Ten Inn
prove in Hitting

Pittsburgh, Oct 3h.-Propping up
major league teams with Federal
League talent proved about as effica-
with Confederate $40 note. That
much is definitely shown by the batting
average and by the fate of such teams
as the Chicago Cubs, the New York
Giants, the st. Louis Browns and the
New York Americans.
These clubs, through mergers or
purchase, obtained last spring a num-
Der of Fed stars whose extreme ability,
as demonstrated during the Federal
League 1915 season, was expected to
materially aid the clubs that acquired
them.
The averages to-day will show that
of twenty of the most promising Fed
eral stars retained in the major leagues
this year, sixteen of them have fallen
off an average of over SIS points per
man in batting.
-Four Make Good
On the other hand, only four Fed
erals have gained. OF these two ad-
vanced significantly. Marsons inn
proved because he was off form in the
Federal League, having played in but
few games in two years, and Hal
Chase, leader of the National League
hitters, was presumably sulking in his
tent in 1915. when he turned in .2S4
figure in such company.
OF all the Federals to try their
hand in the majors only one-Veteran
Hal Chase-reached the 800 hitting
class. Bennie Kauff is next best and
the remainder trail sadly down until
we strike Grover Hartley.
The hardest fall of all was that Of
Johnny Tobin, who was expected to be
a sensation this season. Johnny was
one of the few players developed in
the Federal League. He went there
little more than a semipro and flashed
into prominence.

Clay was there. And Irwin. And the
chief of police. They had asked him
to come that he might see the con-
fession, and act quickly without wait
ing for the courts action on Monday.
They feared that Stone would leave
town. Time was precious.

was gone.

Only she could have told where tho

and she remembered it all so dis
tinctly now-how Mrs. Blake had
moved suddenly toward the safe, as
she had carried the jewel case to the
table by the window. Only she could
have told Of that faint momentary rus

instant that her back was turned.

the thief, and If tell, shefl expose
me-"
Though Isabelle well knew that for
her to hold her tongue meant poverty
and hardship all her life; though she
knew that it meant the entire loss of
happiness for herself and her hus-
band, who could not exist without the
luxury to which they had been accus-
toned, though she knew that her ac-
ton was dragging down her father
into poverty and business failure with
her husband, she could not drive her
errant tongue to speak the few simple
words that would have cleared all.
Insistently, persistently, she main
tanned that she did not know where
the paper had gone; that she had
never seen it; that nobody had been in
the room with her.
And so the craven fear that held
her tongue made silence her latest
and greatest folly, while ruin, gaunt
and horrible, stalked through all their
lives. All were paying a horrible
price for her folly and their own.
And Mrs. Blake! What of her?
Mission accomplished and paper safe
ly in her possession, she became sud-
denly possessed Of a desire to tell
Stone Of her success. Hers had been
the dangerous work. Hers was to be
the reward. She would claim it now.
Almost girlish were her actions as
she tiptoed up to the door of Stones
fiat, and finding it ajar, softly entered.

medicine began to get better. Friends
in his home town heard about his re-
covery and secured some Of the medi-
cine; they told their friends and soon
there was so much demand for 1t that
w. A. Varney had to devote his whole
time to making the medicine.
The reports that came in seemed al
most incredible, for many people who
had not been able to help themselves
for months and years could get about
without any trouble after taking this
medicine. Gradually people began to
give him their crutches that they had
used because of rheumatism in the
knees and hips, then someone who had
rheumatism so bad that they were con-
fined to a wheel chair gave the medi-
cine q trial and they, too, got better
and gave him their wheel chair. This
was the start of collecting wheel chairs
and crutches.
Rheumatism of the joints, or rheu-
matte arthritis, is very common dis
ease, and great many are inclined to
pay no attention to it at first until 1t
becomes severe. The joints at first
may not be very painful, but there Is
considerable stiffness, especially in the
morning, and when one attempts to
get up after sitting down any length
of time. There may be little trouble
on going up or down stairs. Gradually
the joints can be felt or heard to creak.
like dry hinge. Finally the hands be-
come involved and more or less dis
torted, there is more or less pain con-
stantly and later considerable deform-
ity.
Sometimes the disease starts in sud
denly, with swelling Of the joints, red
ness and a great deal of pain, the
knees, wrists and other joints may be
involved, or perhaps the finger joints
alone are enlarged. Sometimes the
disease attacks the shoulder and arms
and is very painful in the night or
early morning, making it difficult to
get the hands to the head.

cine and no one suffering from rheu-
matism can afford to fail to try it.

nights wild time In no wise improved
his temper, as he slowly picked at the
breakfast that had been served in his
room.
Has his lordship a new crown this
morning?" smiled Isabelle as she came
into the chamber unannounced and al
most unheard.
With a slightly forced laugh, she
pointed to the wet towel that he had
bound around his aching head.
"Or is it some new style Of head
gear made fashionable by the war;"
she persisted.
Clay scowled at his pretty wife. He
was in no mood for trifling.

morning to grant his little wife one
tiny favor?
Yes his mightiness is," he answered
ungraciously and Isabelle sagely, with
the wisdom that is born of womans
intuition, decided to await more
favorable opportunity to press her re-
quest.
Clay was too absorbed in his own
troubles; too much engrossed with his
aching head to think clearly or he

portant one. No trivial matter would
cause her to arise at that hour. The
days when she took breakfast with
her husband were long since past.
She usually spent her mornings in bed,
recovering from the fatigue of the
previous nights session at auction
bridge. For Isabelle's chief folly was
the playing for high stakes at the
home of Mrs. Cora Blake, an attrac-
tive widow of fifty.
Clay had frequently objected to his
wife's visits to the Widow Blake's
apartments.

Stories had come to him, too, of the
fascinating widows wild infatuation
for Horace Stone, attorney and
sharper, whose business dealings were
often open to suspicion and whose
escapades in which automobiles,
chorus girls, wine suppers, stage
doors and midnight revels were large

les of conversation among the men
about town.
Careful investigation, however, had
failed to reveal anything Objectionable
in Stones conduct while the play was

this, Isabelle's early rising on this fate

Guided by voices that came from the
library she made her way into the
house. Womanlike she paused to
listen.
"And tomorrow you and I will go
away together"
The voice was Stones. There was
no mistaking it. Something seemed
to go dead within her. Craftily she
peered around the edge Of the por-
tiere, and weak, stunned, angry, she
staggered back. Her bubble had burst.
Stone was planning to go away with
one of his chorus friends. She had
been the cat's-paw-the dupe.
Quickly she left, as quietly as she
had come, and going to her own apart
ment she telephoned Stone to come
to her, and handing him an envelope
filed with blank paper, she said,
Here is the confession"
With catlike cunning she watched
his eagerness as he seized the en-
velope, watched the sudden wonder on
his face that turned to anger as he
found that he had been duped.

manded hotly.

piled calmly and told him all that she
had seen and heard in his rooms. "As

He sprang at her, his fingers ex-
tended as if to throttle her, only to
start back from the cleaning silver
revolver that she pointed at him.
