with the Cubs. Mitch has Jimmy
Sheckard to act in the capacity OF his
aide, and II is a wise choice. Sheck is
one OF the smartest ball players ever
on spikes. and he never got too old
to back up third base from left field
on the chance OF corralns a wild
throw. He might make the journey
fifty times In vain. but the fifty first
he was on the job and saved a run
that saved a game that saved n PEN

CHAPTER XIII.

Young Howe had been firmly re-
solved to give UP all his bachelor hab-
its with his wedding day. In his indo-
lent, rather selfish way, he was much
in love with his wife.
But with the inevitable misunder-
standings of the first months of mar
riage had come a desire to be appreci-
ated once again at his face value.
Grace had taken him, not for what he
was, but for what he seemed to be.
With Christine the veil was rent. She
knew him now-all his small indo-
lences, his affectations, hia weaknesses.
Later on, like other women since the
world began, she would learn to dis
sembie, to affect to believe him what
he was not.
Grace had learned this lesson long
ago. 1t was the A B G Of her knowl-
edge. And SO, back TO Grace came

JOHN CHlNAMkN IN FRANCE
Pick of Skilled Laborers From Orient
Sent to Europe to Work in
Munition Factories.

The pick of Chinese skilled and part
ly skilled labOrers is being sent from
Tien-tsin, China, to France, at the
rate of more than 1000 q week, and
from IndO-China to France In at least
equal numbers, mainly to work in
French munitiOn factories.
They are carried over to France at
the rate of between 1000 and 5000 a
ship. 1t does not take large ship to
carry 1000 Chinese, for they go prac-
tically as freight. A Chinese can flour
ish in space that would hardly do a
white man for his grave.
A large percentage of the men are
six feet tall. For the most part they
are Chinese who have learned some
thing about machinery in British mills
and factories or in construction camps.
Some are agricultural labOrers, taken
to France to increase food production.
1t appears that before they can be
induced to leave China these China
men all insist on contract providing
not only for their wages, which are
small enough, but binding tie French

PUT UNITED STATES FIRST
Spanish-Americans in New Mexico
Have Nothing in Common With
People Across the Border.

1t Is absurd to talk about any com.
munity of interest, sympathy or fell
low feeling for old Mexico Mexicans
among the native people of this state.
They have absolutely nothing in COM
mon and the average New Mexico
Spanish-American doesn't take kindly
to being classed in the same category.
The New Mexico natives live "close
TO the soiP; they are intensely local
in their affiliations and their loyalty
is based simply on the fact that their
home is the United States. New Mex
leo is their home state and they live
largely in the same spot where their
forefathers have lived for centuries.
With Mexico they have no more ties
than with any other foreign country,
save that they speak the same lam
guage. The fact that the native peo-
pie have furnished three companies Of
the National Guard at the border and
that the Spanish-American company in
Santa Fe went off with a larger initial
number of recruits than any other
company in the state ought to be SUI
ficient answer to these intimations.
A well-known wool grower declared
that in the lambing season, when q
large extra number of hands is en-
ployed, he never uses old Mexico labor
for the reason that the poems are lazy
and inefficient and never get along
with the native New Mexico laborers
by reason of the deep-seated antipathy
of the latter to the Mexicans.-Sants
