TELL or STRANGE MEETINGS
Doctors and Nurses Relate Remark.
able happenings Occurring in the
Military hospitals.

The long arm Of coincidence was
never more strikingly illustrated than
by the remarkable cases Of hospital
reunions related by the commanding
officer OF the Welsh General Military
hospital. Recently a nurse entered
one of the wards. calling the name OF
certain soldier who was due to take
his medicine. In response to the call
man sat up in one Of the beds. but
further inquiry showed that although
the surname was the same. the Chris
tian name was different from that OF
the man she was seeking. says Lon
don Tit-Bits
At that moment the right man, who
was well enough to hobble about. ar
rived upon the scene, and then, to the
amazement of the nurse and the other
occupants of the ward. the patients
recognized each other as brothers who
had not met for many years. What
is more extraordinary still. the two
brothers had been in the same ward
for several days without either being
aware of the others presence.
Even more extraordinary is the case
of two men in another ward, who.
when the roll was called, suddenly
recognized one another as chums who
some years ago joined the colors the
same day. They had been close
chums in the ranks, but subsequently
drifted apart through the drafting OF
one of them on foreign service, to find
themselves reunited in adjoining beds
in the Welsh Military hospital
On comparing notes a further string
of condolences was discovered. The
two men. unaware of each others
presence at the front, had been wound
ed the same day, taken to the same
base hospital. brought home in the
same ship. carried to the same train
and finally placed next to one another
In the same ward Of a home hospital
Another curious case is that OF a
man who after being wounded at the
front was admitted to one of the wards
OF the hospital. On his discharge he
went back to France. and, wounded a
second time, found his way back once
more to- the same ward.

Then a change came over his -
lures and involuntarily he peered
closer.
Mas keen. old eyes were upon his
face and she saw it slowly lose what
little color returning life had given il.
saw look of bewilderment. OF amaze
and something very like fear settle
down upon 1t. drawing the features,
Tightening the skin. He stared hard
at the few scant notes. then raised
dilated eyes to her
Are you sure. ma. SURE" he
asked In strangely altered voice.
''Surey Ever know me to speak
when | want sure. SOM" said the gen.
eral grimiy.
For, though the notes on the page
were so few and so meaningless to an
outsider. 1t was plain that they had
fallen under the one pair of eyes
whose owner they most vitality con-
cerned.
This was what Wslter Sandry read:

When he had finished, his weak
hands trembled ON the sheet and there
was the look of cornered animal In
the bright. blue eyes that sought the
old womans pleadingly.

Without word. Ma Daily picked up

And in the meantime Poppy Ordway
was talking to Hampden on the Siletz
road. The man was passionate, force
full. little worried by her long alb
sence from their rides. and he used
every persuasion at his command to
win her from the Daily camp.

CHAPTER XIX.
: A Lie and a Theft.

Sandry recovered rapidly. His youth
and 1.-the strength we're powerful aids
and the broken bones inside the plas
ter casts knitted busily With his re-
turn to consciousness, Miss Ordway
relaxed her vigilance. She gave uu
her place without protest to Ma Daily
and began to spend part OF her days
in the little room. This had been San.
dry's urgent request.
See what you've lost already In
time and strength and energy" he
pleaded. please go to your own work. "
On one Of the first days Of Ma
Daily's attendance. he asked to see
Siletz.
The general was wise and she sent
the girl alone. Sandry closed his eyes
and lay waiting for the light step that
always reminded him of wild things in
the forest-so slipping. soft and
hushed was it.
Presently he heard 1t coming down
the slope. 1t slowed as it neared the
office and for a long time stopped al
together outside the door. His heart
leaped uncontrollably and conflicting
emotions flushed his face as he called
her softly.
Come here. S'letz." he heard him.
self saying, though for his life it was
not what he wished to say. and she
came and dropped on her knees beside
him. clasping her hands on the sheet
at his side. There was nothing OF the
conscious avowal of Poppy's words In
her look and attitude. only the simple
betrayal of a nature as open as the
day. The shining light OF joy in her
face. the hushed acknowledgment OF
Gods sparing of his life. was all-suf1i.
cient. In fash he heard the words
of Kolawmie's half-breed:
for S'letz is your woman"
And he knew they were true. BY
every sign OF her soul and body they
were true. as simply as the flower wor-
ships the sun all day. And there In
the little south room. from whose open
window he could hear the click of a
typewriter. was the most brilliant
woman of his own world whom he had
ever known. woman soon to be IA

had meant to use her name alone,

But what he would have said was
left unspoken. for Ma Daily creaked

AS Sandry obediently finished the
last drop. the general reached in the
capacious pocket of her dish apron.
Here" she said. "see what found. .
She held squarely before his eyes a
little red morocco notebook, opened at
page far to the back.
Miss Ordway dropped it as she rode
on on the bay this mornin an |

Without volition. Sandry glanced at
the white page. which held q few
neatly tabulated notes.

ZIMMERMAN TO GIANTS
Cubs Get Doyle, Hunter and Jacob.
son in Exchange.

CHICAGO. August 2s-one Of the
most important deals of the 1915 base
ball season was negotiated last night
between the Cubs and the New York
Giants, involving the transfer of Heinie
Zimmerman, the recalcitrant infelder,
to the Giants. in return for whom the
Cubs receive Larry Doyle, w. Hunter,
an infieIder, and Jacobson, an outfielder.
Because Doyle and Zimmerman are two
of the most widely known players in
the National League the exchange Is a
notable one
The actual transfer is the culmina-
ton of various rumors and reports
which have been circulated since
President Weeghman of the Cubs i'm
posed a ten-day suspension on Heinie
Zimmerman for what he chose to term
laying down on the job" The day that
came generally known in base ball
circles that his days as a member of
the Cubs were limited. Immediately a
bidding contest among at least three
National League clubs to obtain Zim-
norman began. Philadelphia, Boston
placed bids with President Weeghman
for Zim's services.
The deal with the Giants came as q
distinct surprise to the fans in Chicago.
1t had been expected that either Bos-
ton or Philadelphia would get thinner
| man because 1t was understood these
clubs had made moro tempting offers.
Giants. The New York players Will
Join the Cubs today and will play In

TREASURY BOYS WIN
Hit Kelly Hard and Defeat
RosedaIe Team, 8 to d.
CROSON PITCHES WELL
Winners Play Errorless Ball, While
Defeated Nine Makes Three
Costly Misplays.

The Treasury boys sprang a big sur
prise on Rosedale last evening on the
Terminal grounds, when they found
Finney Kelly very much to their lik-
ing and hammered the ball all over the
lot. capturing the first game of the
series of three for the city champion
ship, by the score of to 4. On what
was shown last night the champion
playing of the Treasury team made
the Rosedales look weak.
1t may be Rosedale's turn to spring a
surprise tonight, as a good pitcher can
do wonders in q series of this sort.
ONeil or Albaugh will work this even
ing for Rosedale, while Treasury has
Bell or Dust to carry them to the front.
There was a very large crowd on
hand, about $500 paying to get inside
the wire netting. while as many view
ed the contest from different heights
outside. The drawing powers of the
series demonstrates that the games
should have been played at American
League Park, where the patrons could
have witnessed the sport in comfort
and the ball players do their best on
good grounds. The Terminal field is
simply fierce, and 1t is a wonder more
errors did not crop up. Several of the
hits that went safe could have been
caught. but when a fielder has to run
over gullys. climb a hill and dash into
the crowd there is little opportunity to
shine as fly catcher.
Friends of the RosedaIes thought
they had an ace in the hole in Finney
Kelly, and the lacing he received doubt
less took the pepper and confidence out
of his teammates. Kelly may be able
to make q Comeback" tomorrow
I,1 iG faa q
feat yesterday was a big boost for the
Treasury lads in the way Of added con-
jfidence. Je
Croson, on5the other hand, went into
the game as an unknown quantity. He
had the reputation of being a good
pitcher, but did not compare with Kelly
!. in the minds of the "wisenheimers. -
1 Croson was steady as clock and on
bunch hits enough to send runs over
the plate. His perfect support had a
great deal to do with his good slab
bling, not misplay being made by his
teammates, while kelly's companions
erred three times, a throw to first by
Hurd costing two runs.
| Dust and Anderson did the best hitting
for the Treasury, the former slamming gu
two singles and a triple. and the latter tw,
triples. Several scouts were on hand, and
while Mike Mora's work was watched
with unusual interest, the playing and hit
