Plans to change the present physical di-
mansions of the standard baseball diamond
are not particularly appealing. The pres

entire satisfaction of the great many mil

make baseball what it is. Leaving well
enough alone is pretty safe plan, itself.

under the weight of severe disap-
pointment.
The lady is still in Galveston She
was to have gone on that steamer"
Marvel advised me. We should have
gone with her AS it is"
Just then the why foreigner gave a
start, a jump. He ran forward. his
eyes fixed on an automobile that had
come up to the wharf And then my
own glance was riveted upon the ma
chine as well. The chauffeur had
evidently just learned that they were
three minutes too late for the steam
er. His passengers looked sorely
disturbed. They were two; a tall
dark man with great mustachios and
a SCARED warrior-like face, and a
young lady.
This was Miss Geraldine Farrar,
and | knew her at glance. There
was a change in her manner since
had last seen her, and in her face as
well, as compared with the photo
graph Marvel carried in his pocket.
Her eyes expressed animation, her
whole pose was one of energy. Her
face was deliciously flushed with eX-
element. She spoke rapidly to her
dignified escort, and then to the chauf-
feur. The latter received some hur-
ried instructions. He seized the
wheel and at once the machine sped
away from the wharf
The wiry foreigner who had SEEM
ingly been watching for just this ar
rival ran forward, looked about for
another auto, found none for hire, and
sped on the trail Of the speeding ma
chine at a gait worthy of a crack pro-
fessional sprinter.

my arm and directing a swift dash

A new strain had come into the

1t was late in the afternoon of our
