THE FRIENDS
By S. B. HACKLEY

(@. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
1t was long, long before the great
war, and the clocks of Marennes told
that it was noon. The groups of girl
workers in the oyster culture chatted,
laughing over their simple lunch.
At the approach of cart in which
sat young man in peasants blouse,
an aged, shriveled man in shiny
black coat and a slim, dark girl wear
ing wooden frock, Rene RiOut, a
young blonde, sprang from one of the
group.
you'll not forget, Susanna" she
cried in passionate tenderness, "if ever
you need anything of me in that far
away country, I'll send it to you If it's
the heart out of my bodyy
The black eyes of Susanne DuFais,
the dark girl, filed. She laid her cheek
on Rene's bright hair.
'I'll not forget" she whispered,
"the Bon Dieu keep you, little one!"
Joachim Talk touched his horse, old
Paul, Susanne's father stiffened him
self, and the cart rolled away.
"How they love each other-Susanne
and Rene!" exclaimed Mignon Gillette.
"HOw hard for them old Paul thinks
he may get more for his breadmaking
in America !"
"But listen, Mignon," her cousin
lowered her voice, there's Rudel La
motto. Were he to come to choose be-
tween them-ah. there's no friendship
between women that would stand that
test, Mignon!"
In the new country, old Paul pros
pered. Every month, Susanna wrote,
he was able to put by little toward
paying Father Henri, the good cure
who had loaned them their passage
money. When the letters came to
Rene, Rudel, who worked at the fish
ing with Rene's father, came in to
hear them read. Now and then he
himself sent notes inclosed in Rene's
letters to Susanna and old Paul.
But after while when Rene and
Rudel became betrothed, feeling Of

canteen for Mill Workers.

One of England's largest mills has
opened an employers canteen which
will seat 800 persons. The food is
served over long counter on which
the various dishes lie ticketed with
prices. The diners file past the coun-
ter, select what they require and take
their meals to their own table. A
perhaps unusual departure from Gus
tomary procedure at these places is
the facilities afforded for obtaining
beer. The sale Of liquor is regulated
by work peoples club. which has
been formed at the suggestion Of the
firm, and which controls the affairs
Of the whole institution with the ex-
ception Of the catering.

Reds Wolloped Again by
Fighting Senator's, Is to 4

ROANOKE, Va, April 9.-The
worlds champions gave one of the
worst exhibitions of their disastrous
trip Friday, suffering a severe wal
Looping at the hands and bats of the
fighting Senators to the tune of IL
to 4.
They were unable to hit Walter
Johnson in the first four rounds, but
were favored by the wildness of Jim
Shaw in the later innings to the ex-
tent of avoiding a shut-out. which was
about all that could be said for their
display of baseball skill.
The Senators, who have played
skillful and up-to-date ball on every
occasion, continued to do so today
and gave the fans what they were
looking for in the way of big league
stuff, something which is not being
supplied by the Reds, who are much
too upstage to condescend to perform
at the top of their ability on the Vir-
ginia circuit.
Ray Fisher was hit freely in the
five rounds he worked and Linwood
Smith. the lone pitching recruit left
on the staff, was also wild and inef
fective, while the support of both
pitchers was not of the highest class.
As has been the case throughout this
mistaken trip, the game was played
under highly adverse conditions.

clashed, and when the smoke cleared
away the score sheet showed that the
Seeders had won two games.
High score for the evening was cap

Clyde Milan.

CIyOe VIVIAN.
Clyde Milan, fleetfooted center field
err of the Washington ball club, is all
set for his 18th complete season.
There are few men in the big show to-
day who can show as consistent and
faithful a record for one club owner
as Clyde.
The Linden, Tenn, boy Joined the
capital team Aug. %, 1907, being
bought from Wichita in the Western
Association. He played in As games
for Griff that summer and in 19OS-hls
first full season, became one of the
regular outfield trio. The record book
shows that he played in over 127
games each year from then on until
he slipped to SS games last season.
He has always been a good hitter,
lowering about the 800 mark. In Two
campaigns, those of 1911 and 1912 he
stepped over 800, batting .315 and
3O6
His wonderful speed afield and on
the bases has been his chief assets,
however He has won base-stealing
honors and always ranks high in sac
rifice hits-due to his ability to "get
down" fast.
Last season Milan hit .2S7 in SO
games, swiped 40 bases. He collected
II sacrifice hits That he's mean
man to pitch to is shown by the TACT
that he famed only 16 times during
the season.
Clyde was born March %, 1887. He
started with GAINESVILLE in the North
Texas league in 1905 and played with
McAllister and Shawnee before jol1
ing Wichita.

READY For MARSI

LONDON, April g.-Beginning at
midnight. April 20, and throughout the
succeeding two or three days, thous-
ands OF wireless operators in all parts
of the world will strain their ears, in
an endeavor to catch any messages

planet. Guglielmo Marconi. inventor
of the wireless system, today issued
special instructions to all stations to
listen intently, particularly on April

will be nearest to the earth, land, if
the wierd signals picked up lately are
actually messages from the Martians,
the world may witness history-making
revelations on that date"
