SOTHE only thing that pre-

But he falls short OF Cobb,
Jennings says, because OF his

which has made u possible for
Cobb to burn up the league for
10 years.
Cobb Is always doing some thing

him TO score from second on a bunt

His absolute disregard for his op-

easily stopped a speedier man, who
does not possess the Cobb fire"

CHAPTER III
Sent to Boarding school

1t has been nearly a whole year
since l have written in this book
of mine. I've been to discouraged
and heart-sick.
Elise visited us in the spring a
year ago about this time and my
misfortunes began to pour in the
following fall, when was a senior,
and seventeen years old.
That last year of high school
had started in 10 be o very happy
one for me.
But half way thru the first term
the family decided to send me to
boarding school. A family council
was called over the matter, and 1t
was then l learned that my people
were ashamed Of me! According
to the twins I did not know how
to dress; ! was tom-boy---oh, the
list of things l was not and should
have been Is too long to repeat!
When I closed the door to my
room that night I did not cry, al
tho my throat ached with wanting
to. When the big clock in the hall
struck twelve. / was kneeling be-
fore my trunk. Alec came In, in
his red and gray bath towel bath

and came over and sat down near
me. Good stuff, Bobbie," he said
finally-and oh, SO kindly-"Cood

I abruptly crossed the room and
CLOSED the window a, my back.
There was a big lump in my throat
but finally l was able to ask, ALEC

In May, and broke the news that
after Commencement he had de-
cided to accept a position from his
room-mate's rich uncle in come
wild and woolly lumber camps in
Michigan.
II Just about broke poor Fathers
heart. But Tom went out West
just the same. He went just as IL
he were carrying out Fathers
dearest hope: and the funny part
Is, that inside of three years Tom
had made Father so proud of his
steady success that the poor dear
mans disappointment faded away
like mist before the sun.
Whenever Tom had a holiday,
except Christmas, when he came
home, he spent 1t in Chicago with
his roommate or the uncle. That
is how he happened to fall in with
such a lot of fashionable people
not that Tom ever boosted that
his friends were fashionable, but
i knew they were, just the same.
When he came back home for
Christmas he always had a pocket
full of kodak pictures. They
weren't all taken in the lumber
camps. Some were of house
parties, which he'd been on, and
assure you, | always took in the
expensive background of these
pictures, perfectly elegant houses,
and automobiles with chauffeurs
sitting up as stiff as ramrods.

was going to bring his elegant
bride to Hilton, | button-holed

as already knew, and merely to
paint the house would cost the
price Of a ticket or two.

said Father to me, ourselves,
