PART I.-continued.


Barney got the second FIVE and with
out delay it passed over the bar to
the proprietor in exchange fos c15re
liquor. Then the wild performer wan
dered back to the grounds. Iris Ford
heard that he was outside, and, as he
! thought he needed rescue pitcher to
save the game, he sent for Barney.
Barney came without protest and en-
tered the clubhouse to dress. But the
| tide of the battle turned In the Giant
killers favor, and the left-hander was
not called upon.
Shortly before the game ended,
Barney Larkin came upon the field,
all excitement. He rushed up to the
Giant-killers' bench, exclaiming that
he had lost his gold watch fob. After
the last man was out Barney had
twenty willing baseball workers and
both umpires raking the field for the
for a reward!
According to Barney's prophecy,
iris Ford, kind-hearted soul, adver-
tised for the lost" keepsake. Wait
ing in Chicago when the Giant-killers
arrived was a telegram, charges col
lect. which read: Fob found. Send
on ten-dollar reward"
But it wasn't Barney's escapades
that troubled the manager so much as
the effect his raw behavior mightshave
on the morale Of the team. This, too,
despite the acknowledged reputation
enjoyed by the Giant-killers sans Lar
kin of being the cleanest and most
gentIemanly bunch of ball players in
the country.
The club was proud of such repu-
tatiOn. This was what worried Iris
Ford. He felt no anxiety lest Barney
corrupt the team. What the manager
expected was a call-dOwn from his
own men. Perhaps something like
this:
''Look a-here, Iris! We care some
thing for our good name If you don't.
If one rotten apple will spoil the whole
barrel, it's a sure thing one rOunder
like Barney Larlin will ruin our repu-
tation for decency and gentlemanly
conduct. Barney leaves a red trail
all over the circuit, and we're getting
tired of it. II you think there's moth
ing to our profession except winning
ball games, why We'll try something
else. And this goes!'
No, Iris Ford didn't want to have to
answer back to unanswerable talk
like that. Neither did he care to part
company with Barney Larkin just yet

mot while the temperamental twirler
was holding the Giant-killers to the
fore of the championship race and in
cideutally proving himself the best
drawing card In the American league.
If the team could be brought to look
upon Barney as a weak brother
somebody without the pale OF the
Chandeliers society-and would toll
crate him for the worth of his pitching
arm the club might contrive to scale
the heights and win another Dennant.

Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
Teeth Like Chalk

Mr.. Herbert M. Gessner writes from his
home in Berlin, N. H.:
l had stomach trouble over ten years;
kept getting worse. 1 tried everything for
relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January got
50 bad that what would eat would sour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.

something to cure me. One day I read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me box at the drug store as was going
to work at p. m. took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
three-fourths gone, felt fine and when it
was used up 1 had no pains. Wife got me
another box but I have felt the pain but
twice. I used FIVE tablets out of the new
box and have no more stomach trouble
Now l write to tell you how thankful
am that l heard of EATONIC. I feel like
a new man; eat what I like, drink plenty
of water, and it never hurts me at all

And thus, to the surprise or the
catching force, was Ernest Steadman

dubbed the pair. And, kept fairly we'll
in leash, Barney Larkin was big

Before the season was embalmed in
the Official Baseball Guide, iris Ford
exhibited the first signs of age. Long,
lean. and immobile, never batting an
eye in the most trying situations, he
had been wont to follow the game
from the dugout. A fiction there was
that he signaled with his score card;
but otherwise he was as impassive as
the copper head on penny-until the
homestretch of this nerve-breaking
season. Then, as the sx~ibes put it,
he began to act like an ord1hcry, flesh
and-blood human being. He moved
uneasily upon the bench, sometimes
signaled brazenly to player, and was
occasionally known to give vent to
disappointment or disgust by actually
slapping his knee in public. He was
not the same Iris FOrd-not by an
obstreperous nervous system.

James Winton Shute exercised his
gray matter for d brief space of time;
then his face frightened and he pro-
posed:
Have a scheme-why not appoint a
keeper for Barney ~
"A keeper?" Iris smiled, but
shook his head.

he's snoring" elaborated Shute.

The scarcity of coal is stimulating

water power. In Italy they have hit
upon another plan which promises TO
revoutionize the industry of the coun-

where the internal heat of the earth
comes so near the surface that II may
be tapped. In other words. the vol
canoes are being harnessed to supply
power. The tests already carried on
are reported to have proved very sue
cessful and the work will doubtless
be greatly extended. The heat thus
drawn from the earth is converted into

Tinted States and sent overseas to do

China. Very likely, too-for such is
the implied advice of John ii. Reisner,
dean of the college of agriculture ana

tools will he painted red and lettered
with a Chinese name. The college is
studying the Chinese farmer his prac-
tical needs and his customary habits

the American farmers plow Is otten

his plow painted red. Also he prefers
to work with pillow bearing a Chinese
name rather than any other name, ana
