Marlin from his home in San Fran

morning, tried his hand at pitching
yesterday. 1t is known that for some
time McGraw has considered the
posi- bility of converting the big boy
from the coast into a pitcher, and 1t
is probable that this task will be at
tempted as soon as the Giant chief
tain appears on the scene. If there
is a more powerful arm than Kelly's
in the league at present its owner
has not exhibited it, and if Kelly can
be taught the tricks of the hurlers
he ought to make whale of a box
pitcher, and it will be interesting

too, was empty. He called out-there
was no response. Mrs. McAlpin had
apparently gone home for while.
Irritated at the desertion of the
place, due, he afterward learned, to
the heat Of the afternoon, and disap-
pointed at the Illustration Of his pur-
pose, he walked back to the Office. AS
he lifted the handrail and, passing
through, lowered it behind him, he
took out his watch to see how soon the
stage was due. While he held the time
piece in his hand he heard a rapid
cIatter of hoofs approaching the place.
Thinking it might be Scott and Lefe-
yer arriving from the south an hour
ahead of time, he started toward the
front door-which was still open-to
greet them. Outside, hurried footsteps
reached the door just ahead Of him
and a large man, stepping quickly into
the room, confronted De Spain. One
of the mans hands rested lightly on
his right side. De Spain recognized
him instantly; the small, dropping
head, carried well forward, the keen
eyes, the Ioud-patterned, shabby waist

the question of Logan, but without

Logan raised his voice to repeat the
words and to add ribald comment.

muttered Sandusky, speaking again to
De Spain.
"That ought not to bother you
much, Sandusky," shouted De Spain,
trying to win a smile from his tact
turn antagonist.
"His noise won't bother anybody
much longer" put in Logan, whose re-
torts overlooked at every interval. But
| there was no smile even limited at in
the Incorporating vigilance of San
| dusky's expressionless face. De Spain
discounted the next few minutes far
enough to feel that Sandusky's first
shot would mean death to him, even if
he could return it.
'TlI tell you, De SPAIN" continued
Logan, "we're going to have drink
with you. Then we're going to prepare
you for going back where you come
from-with nice flowers"
81 guess you thought you could come
out here and run over everybody in the
Spanish sinks" interposed Morgan,
with every oath he could summon to
load his words.
Keep out, Morgan" exclaimed Lo-
gan testify. "TH do this talking"
De Spain continued to banter. "Gen-
tlemen," he said, addressing the three
together and realizing that every mo-
ment wasted before the shooting added
grain of hope, II am ready to drink
when you are"
He's ready to drink, Tom," roared
Morgan in the deaf mans ear.

HELPED THE DESERVING MAN
New Yorker Spared d Few Moments
to Put a Compliment Where
It Did Good

The Woman's Home Companion
prints an editorial about a man who
wrote letter praising young rail
road man. 1t says:
"a busy New York man returned
last summer from his country home.
The station agent in that little cOun-
try town had been particularly help
full to him, in caring for his trunks and
arranging for the comfort of his
family"
1.-The New York man was grateful to
the station agent. He told him so.
He wondered, as he rode along, what
chance the young fellow had in that
country station. Would any officer of
the road ever pass that way? Would
the lads willingness and efficiency
ever gain him a reward?
when he reached his Office he
wrote a letter to the president of that
railroad. 4 want to congratulate you
on the young man who represents you
at Smithton, he said, he is courteous
and intelligent, and the good will that
he secures for your road in that sec
ton is worth real money to you. He
is a young chap worth watching.
"a little thing it was. The cost was
only few minutes of a stenographer's
time and q two-cent stamp. Yet that
letter stood out like a diamond on the
presidents desk amid the bundle OF
querulous complaints. 1t frightened
the day in that big Office. 1t may have
changed the whole career of the young
chap in the country depot"
