her in her sense OF fitness that he
did not reprove her little, If you
did, it would make me feel loads

Andrew had already forgotten the
incident. He examined her with al
fectionate pride as his glance, salts
fed, ran over the trappings of his
car and rested, in final approval, on
the trim figure of Bingham. Bing-
ham was in excellent style. They
were at the throat of the great
Greensboro bridge, halted in the
jam of traffic. Other cars we're
about them. He estimated them
with a little righteous pride in his
own wife, his own car. and his own
chauffeur. He had done tall, and
he feared no comparison.

He looked at her without the

'The black, the gold, and the

He frowned at the mention Of this

"The cerise, my dear is-I'm not

She smiled from her superior
knowledge.
"I'm afraid you're in for shock.

eHAPTER V.

At O'Clock. in obedience to a
telephone message from the Office,
Amy was in the car, drawn up by
the subway station at Columbus
Circle, searching the crowd which
flowed muddy up from that great
underground tube for the first
glimpse OF swinging, rapid figure.
Z Her conscience did not exactly re-
proach her, for the conscience in
youth, before II can enlist the serv-
ices of a rebellious digestion, is
more OF a courtier than a mentor.
Yet, all the same. she felt she owed
it some explanation She had been
frightfuliy extravagant. When two
women 60 shopping together, the
devil begins TO smile. The presence
Of Fiji had melted her. She felt the
need Of establishing that shade Of
superiority which her cousin denied
her. She knew that Fiji, in common
with the rest of her friends, consid-
cred that she had thrown away her
worldly opportunities. and she de-
sired to rather exaggerate the new
independence which was hers After
an orgy among the counters, Fiji, in
spite Of the fact that luncheon had
been ordered at home, had carried
her off, Communicating two men by
telephone.
The rendezvous had been Al
Sherry's, just beginning to fill up
with the return of society. There
were so persons she knew, and as
Fiji was a public character, their
entrance caused quite a stir. She
felt instinctively the test of this
criticism and asked herself a little
anxiously how they would judge her
In an instant, she was back in the
life Of the year before, the old chat
ter rising easily to her lips, eager for
the glances of tribute which she
could detect in the crowd. She felt
a new xivacity, and it seemed to her
Tor the FIRST time in months, that the
radiance of her youth was returning
to her eyes and to her glowing
cheeks. She forgot her perplexities
and half-expressed longings. This

bred soiicitous attentions, claiming
her charm and her beauty. She nc
longer had feeling of isolation.
What was strange was to be wait
ing for him. When he was absent
she could never see him distinctly.
In the crowd. she saw the kind
ugly face, and. at his powerful, con-
-hdeut approach, she had a swift feel
ing Of gladness and delight.

PROFESSIONALS WALK
CALMLY TO SLAUGHTER

If the glee displayed by the as
sembled Merchants at the ball game
lats evening was worth anything to
them, their patrons today should
be able to buy ut half-price. How
ever, we doubt their suffering from
enlargement of the heart, for the
symptoms are against it; you know
what we mean, they showed no gen.
erosity, but took everything in sight
and the little old game was tucked
back in the cash drawer to join the
victory of Tuesday. Score, 5 to 1 in
favor of the Merchants.
Gene Coburn had gotten together
a formidable aggregation of baseball
talent to represent the professional
men. His infield, Wood, Hammer
hacker, Pittinger and Gale Smith,
looked like a million dollars. Pat
terson, the pitcher, can steam them
over in fine shape, but when runs
were needed this good looking bunch
failed to deliver.
Rev. Mr.. Drake, playing right
field, understood that he was to get
a run. so when his third stroke got
away from Gilmore in the second
inning he got on the bases, was help
ed along by Hammerbacker's hit,
and then scored when the infield
was not looking.
The Merchants went out in order
in the first inning. but in the second,
after Whipple had made a brilliant
running catch OF Tingley's liner, E.
Gilmore, Adair and Bearse each hit
safely, Gilmore coming home on
Bears hit. Then Bearss and Adair
pulled double steal which scored
Adair. In the third inning, the
Merchants had their opponents
throwing the ball all around the
diamond in an effort to tag some
one while they run in three tallies
on hit by Fallin, followed by two
infield errors, which allowed Smith
and Riggs to get on the bases. All
three scored while the Professionals
were playing tag.
Vernon Coburn allowed only two
hits and struck out nine batters. Pat
terson was charged with allowing 5
hits, while he struck out four bat
ters. 1t Is very apparent that Pat.
terson could have done better work
with more experienced catcher, fol-
he had fair speed and a considerable
curve.
That the Twilight league is of rea
interest the attendance is showing
Frank Mashburn came home from
Los Angeles to enjoy the games her,
and many other fans are on the side
lines every game.
The next game between the Me
chanics and Professional men, Il
scheduled for Tuesday evening next
May 20.
