HOW he SAW THE BALL GAME
Man carted Dry Goods Box and Brass
Kettle to Grounds to Prevent
Repetition Of Injuries.

Slowboy, "and rarely place myself in
danger without taking great precau-
tlons," and he lifted out Of his wagon
n dry goods box and a brass kettle.
81 came out here 90 see a match three
weeks ago" the old man explained,
g" and during the game red-hot ball,
right from the bat, struck me like a
cannon ball between the eyes, bent
my spectacles down, broke both glass
es, disarranged by ideas, obstructed
my view of the game and knocked me
down. Then the catcher and short
stop ran together and stood on me,
and jumped to catch the ball, and
when they came down they both
kicked me for getting in the way and
making them miss the ball. And now
I have brought along this dry goods
box to sit on and this brass kettle to
wear on my head"
And, placidly. safely. but a little
warm w1thal, ne saw the game clear

Magnetism in the Wilda

Fish stories are supposed to be
lnique as stretchers Of the imagina-
tion, but none beats the story told by
a member of the British commission
to the United States.
1t seems that one of his acquaint-
ances-a traveller of some note-had
sold a farm to an Irishman, and the
latter was complaining because there
We're no birds tabout the place.
"Set some traps" suggested the for
mer owner, "and they will come"
"Shure an will they come thin?"
Eyes was once in Africa, and
there wasn't a woman, l had been told,
within POO miles. l wanted one to
cook and keep house. So l hung a
pair of earrings, bracelet and some
sundry buttons on tree, and the next
morning I found five applicants under
the branches"

CHAPTER xxi.

Before the wide-fung window of her
attic bedchamber, Sophy Gerard was
crouching with her face turned west
ward. She had abandoned all effort
to sleep. The one thought that was
beating In h0r brain was too insistent,
too clamOrOus. Somewhere beyond
that tangled mass Of chlmneys and
telegraph poles, somewhere on the 9th
er side of the gray haze which hung
about the myriad roofs, John and
Louise were working out their destiny,
speaking at last the naked truth to
each other.
She started suddenly back into the
room. There was a knocking at the
door something quite different from
her landlady'S summons. She wrapped
her dressing-gown around her. pulled
the curtains around the little bed on
which she had striven to rest, and
moved toward the door. She turned
the handle softly.
"Who is that?" she asked.
- John almost pushed his way past
her. She closed the door with nerve
less fingers. Her eyes sought his face,
her lips were parted. She clung to the
back of the chair.
"You have seen LouiseY she ex-
claimed breathlessly.
IT have seen Louise" he answered.
"It Is all overt"
She looked little helplessly around
her. Then she selected the one chair
in the tiny apartment that was likely
to hold him, and led him to 1t.

SCIENCE OF WAR is CHANGED
Developments of the Past Three Years
Have Rendered Obsolete Most of
the Old Methods.

During the last three years the sci
ence of war has undergone radical
changes, rendering obsolete much
which past effort and study had es-
tablished as standard. H. II. Wind
sor writes in Popular Mechanics. Cav
airy has largely given way to infantry,
which now moves farther and faster
in motor cars than was ever possible
with animals. Machine guns have
changed with conditions of infantry
attacks. Heavy artillery at long range
now acComplishes much of what for
merly Was assigned to an infantry
charge. The difficult and always peril
Gus work of the field spy and scout
has been left behind by the airman
who goes forth openly and noisily,
sweeping over enemy lines at n mile
a minute. On sea, 1t is no longer the
ship which can shoot the farthest, or
the fast cruiser which cannot be over
taken, that sinks the most enemy ships,
but the submarine whose underwater
missiles are often unseen and never
heard.
Trench warfare as practiced today
is an evolution Of the old earthwork
idea, but so changed and expanded as
to have little resemblance 1t was
German invention, worked out to in
clude streets and alleys with main
arteries Of communication from the
rear, and complete underground habi-
tatiOns capable Of housing men by
thousands. These underground rooms
are not only one but often two stories
deep, the lower level being reached by
concealed trapdoors. In the Japanese
Russian war the Japanese made use Of
zigzag open trenches as a means of
approach to a fortress, but to nothing
like the extent employed now.

drifted on; but it wasn't true that l
ever promised to marry the prince. No
one had any right to put that para
graph in the newspaper!
but what are you doing here, then?"
John asked hoarsely. Aren't you on
your way to the castle?"
She came little nearer; her arms
went around his neck.
"You dear stupid !" she cried
Haven't l told you2 I've tried to do
without you, and can't. I've come for
you. Come outside, pleased It's quite

I want to hear just what I've come to
hear"
He passed out of the room in
dream, under the blossom-laden boughs
of the orchard, and up the hillside
toward the church. The dream passed,
but Louise remained, flesh and blood.
Her lips were warm and her arms held
him almost feverishly.

Jennings hastened In to where Ste

"Mr. Stephen" he cried, "what's

hussy outside, and Il motorcar in the
drive, and the chauffeur's asking
where he's to sleep. The woman wants
to know whether she can have the
same bedroom for her mistress as last
time"
"Then why don't you go and see
about it, you old fool?" Stephen re-
piled. 'Pbck up those pieces of glass
there, lay the cloth, and get some sup
per ready"
Through the open doorway they
heard Allne's voice in the hall.
"Meester Jennings, will you please
come and help me with the luggage%
Get along with you!" Stephen or
dered. you'd better hurry up with
the supper, too. The boy Tom can see

The old man recovered himself
slowly.

'em into the house?" he gasped. "What
about that toast?"
Stephen refilled two glasses.
WED better alter 1t a lIttle," he
declared. Here's confusion to most
women, but luck to John and his
wife!"
Mr.. John and his wife" Jennings
repeated, as he set his glass down
empty. "Tll just see that them sheets
is aired upstairs, sir, or that hussy
will be making eyes at Toni"
He departed, and Stephen was left
alone. He sat and listened to the
sound of luggage being taken upstairs,
to Aline's little torrent Of directions,
good-humOred but profuse, to the
sound of preparations in the kitchen.
In the room the tall clock licked sol
emnly; a fragment Of the log every
now and then fell upon the hearth.
Presently he rose to his feet. He
heard the click of the garden gate,
the sound Of John and Louise return
ing. He rose and stood ready to well
come them.

Never line in his face softened. He
looked at her moment as he had
looked at the woman in Piccadilly, into
whose hand he had dropped gold.
"Are you going to tell me that it Is

"Think for a single moment of that
feeling which you call love, John !"
she pleaded. Listen! l love you. 1t

Not a line in his face sOftened. His
teeth had come together. He was like
a man upon the rack.

demanded.
She looked at him without any reply.
The seconds seemed drawn out to an
interminable period. He heard the
rolling Of the motOrbuses in the street.
Once more the perfume of the lilac
seemed TO choke him. Then she leaned
back and touched the bell.
