San Francisco has a unique monu-
ment in the shape of baseball player
which is dedicated to industry and
ability. That the name of the donor
be kept a secret was one of the con-
ditions under which it was presented
to Golden Gate Park. While the
statue is a beautiful one the baseball
player is scarcely the ideal of Industry
and ability. While he may be an able
and efficient ball player one hardly as
sociates the game with industry, for
it is distinctively a sport and its dedi-
cation strikes one as misnomer. The
figure was modelled from life and is
an excellent likeness of John Mont
gomery Ward, the crack infielder of
the New York team of quarter of a
century ago. 1t shows him in the act
of delivering q ball. The figure and
base are of gray granite and standing
in a bower of Australian pines it forms
a splendid picture of youth and energy,
and is regarded as one of San Fran
cisco's most attractive statues.

she had climbed in and deposited the
bundle on the seat beside her, they
started on.
After he had covered a mile, Mr..
Jones became a little uneasy; but he
kept on for nearly another mile, and
then turned and said: "Where do you
want to so, madam"
She gave him a broad smile and a
gracious nod Of the head, and replied

"But where were you going when |

He fingered a moment for a last look
ut her beautiful face, upon which had
fallen the inscrutable stolidlty Of the
Indian In her nature. No other ex-
preston could have so completely con-
firmed him In his belief that he had
lost his fighting chance to win her.
He faced about to return up the
mountain the way he had come.
Marie stood as he left her, silent
and immobIle, following his brisk
ascent up the path to the mine shaft
with a wide-eyed gaze that perceived
the objective image, yet at the same
time seemed to be looking inward. A
purpling that shaded the %blJe-black-
ness of her eyes to v%iolet-black alone
betrayed the intensity Of her emotion.
The recedlng figure had passed
along the spur to the foot Of the steep
ascent up the mountain before the
girl became aware that Vandervyn was
close beside her. He started to pass
behind, to where Hardy had dropped
the rifle and revolver. In a flash of
swift movement she sprang ahead OF
him and set her foot upon the rife
barrel.
"You shall not"
Her voice was low and seemingly
tranquil, her face as stolid as before,
but the look in her eyes made him
hesitate. He glanced about at Dupont,
