hills. And II was true that he began
to have secret regrets that he had
come. But II wasn't that he was dis
appointed in the land that was open
ing up before him. Ii fulfilled every
promise. His sole reason for regrets
lay In the fact that now the whole
mountain world would know of the
decay that had come upon his people.
Perhaps Ii would have been better to
have left them to their traditions.
He had never dreamed that the
fame of his grandfather had spread
so far For the first ten miles Dan
listened to stories-legends of cold
nerve that simply could not be shaken;
of powerful, tireless physique; OF
moral and physical strength that was
seemingly without limit. Then. as
the foothills began TO give way TO the
higher ridges, and the shadow OF the
deeper forests fell upon the narrow,
brown road. there began to be long
gaps In the talk. And soon they rode
In utter silence. evidently both of
them absorbed In their own thoughts.
Dan did not feel oppressed at all.
He merely seemed to fall into the
spirit of the woods, and no words
came to his lips. Every mile was an
added delight TO him. Not even wine
could have brought brighter sparkle
TO his eyes. He had begun TO expert
ence vague sort of excitement, an
emotion that was almost kin TO ex-
ultatlon, over the constant stir and
movement of the forest life. Once. as
they stopped the ear 10 refill the ra-
diator from a mountain stream, Len

lngly.

was a hopeful tone, too. He spoke

CHAPTER III.

The Lennox home was typical

drove up. He was son Of his IA
Their, n strong man in body and per
sonality. He too had heard of the
elder Failing, and he opened his eyes
when he saw the slender youth that
was his grandson. And he led the
way into the white-walled living room.
"You must be chilly and worn out
from the long ride" Lennox suggest
ed quietly. He spoke In the tone
strong man invariably uses toward
an invalid. Dan felt curious re-
sentiment at the words.
I'm not cold" he said. "It's hard
ly dark yet. I'd sooner so outdoors
and look around"
The elder man regarded him curl
ously. perhaps with the faintest glim-
mer of admiration. you'd better wait

will have supper soon, anyway. You
don't want to overdo too much, right
at first"
"But, good heavensl I'm not going
TO try TO spare myself while I'm here.
It's too late for that"

MANAGER is ASSET TO BOXER
When Fighter Breaks With Lifelong
Director He Is Usually Headed
for Scrap Heap.

Boxers get nowhere without mana
gers. When fighter splits with his
lifelong manager he usually is headed
for the scrap heap. Young Corbett
pulled away from Johnny Corbett aft
er being made champion. That ended
his fighting triumphs.
Johnny Kilbane parted ways with
Jimmy Dunn. KIlbane has made little
money since. On the other hand,
Benny Leonard and his manager, Billy
Gibson, have been pals since Benny
was kid. They're on top.
Lew Tender and his boss. Phil
Glassman, sold newspapers ON the
same corner before they became sue
cessful as fighter and manager. Dan
Morgan took Jack Britton after he had
wasted seven years of his ring career
and rejuyenated him. Jack Kearns
has done much for Dempsey.
A manager is not a necessary evil
but much-needed asset to any fight
er. The manager Is the man behind
the kaye.

COAST LEAGUE STARS
IN REMNANT BATTLE
Mitchell and Johnson REGARDED
as Finished Players.
Must Travel In High TO Maintain Rea
utation Of League Which Sent
Many Crack lnfeIders to
Major League CLUBS.

In spite of the fact that the WbIfa
Sox scandal threw two former Coa.,
league shortstops into the discard. the
lnfelders of that position who learned
their art on Coast league diamonds
are going TO play big parts In tbe
American and National league pennant
races.
Two more shortstops are being con.
tributed by the Coast to the majors
this year.
They are Johnny Mitchell. the Yer.
non Tigers infielder. who was the key.
stone on defense for Vernon the
past three years. and Ernie johnson
who plloted the Salt Lake Bees last
season.
Neither player comes within the
terms of youngster. johnson was with
the Browns. and before that was n
member of the Feds He jumped Los
Angeles to join the Feds and II was
In Los Angeles he really learned 10
play the sport.
The pair going to the majors are re-
garded as finished ball players.
They will have to travel In high to
uphold the reputation of a league
which sent such star shortstops as Hol-
locher. Terry, Bancroft, Peckinpaugh,
Olson. Ward. Risberg and Weaver t.
the big show.
Terry was with Pittsburgh year be-
fore last and Barney Dreyfuss let him
go for the waiver price. The Cubs
grabbed him to play second but when
Hollocher was out of the game the
former Angel was used at short.
Hollocher is 800 hitter in the
majors and covers a world of terri
tory. Dave Bancroft at various times
has been touted as the best shortstop
In the National league. Another ex-
Portland man who plays short, or any
other place he Is needed, is Ivan OIL
son.

"In this very stream" the mountain
eer told him joyously, you may occa-
slonally catch trout that weigh three

But as he got back into the car the
look Of interest died out of Lennox's
eyes. or course any man would be
somewhat excited by his first glimpse
of the wilderness. II was not that he
had inherited any of the traits Of his
grandfather 1t was absurd 10 hope
that he had. And he would soon get
tired of the silences and want to go
back TO his cities. He told his thought
that 1t would all soon grow old to
him; and Dan turned almost In anger.
"You don't know" he said. II
didn't know myself, how would feel
about 1t. I'm never going to leave the
hills again"
you don't mean that"
"But l do" He tried to speak fur
Their. but he coughed instead. "But
couldn't II wanted to. That cough
tells you why, guess"
"You mean TO say Silas Lennox
turned In Amusement. you mean that
you're IA goner? That you've given
up hope of recovering?'
THAT'S the impression I meant to
convey. I've got little over four
months--though l don't see that I'm
any weaker than was when the doc
tor said ! had six months. Those
four will take me all through the fall
and the early winter, And hope you
won't feel that you've been imposed
upon--to have dying man on your
hands"
ut isn't that" Silas Lennox threw
his car into gear and started up the
long grade. And he drove clear TO the
top of Ii and Into another glen before
he spoke again. Then he pointed to
what looked to Dan like brown
streak that melted into the thick
brush. "That was deer" he said
slowly. "Just glimpse, but your
grandfather could have got him be-
tween the eyes. Most like as not,
though, he'd have let him go. He
never killed except when he needed
meat. But that--as you say-ain't
the impression I'm trying to convey
He seemed to be cropping for words.
"What is 1t, Mr.. LennoxT Dan
asked.
"Instead Of being sorry. Tn mighty
glad you've come" Lennox told him.
Its not that expect you to be like
your grandfather. You haven't had
his chance. But It's always the way
Of true men, the world over, to come
back to their own kind to die. That
deer we just saw--he's your people,
and so are all these ranchers that
grub their lives out of the forests
they are your people, too. And you
couldn't have pleased the old mans
old friends any better, or done more
for his memory, than to come back
to his own land for your last days"
The words were strange, yet Dan
intuitively understood. 1t was as II
a prodigal son had returned at last,
and although his birthright was
| squandered and he came only to die.
the people of his home would give him
kindness and forgiveness, even though
| they could not give him their respect.

Members of the Pittsburgh
National League baseball club
who wish to play golf hereafter
must gain the consent of the
manager before taking to the

George Gibson.
Gibson intimated that certain

and he attributed the loss of a
game to this cause. mo more

secured Cooper his first big league
tryout. 1t was when Cooper was first
starting as pitcher with the Marion
CO., team that President Harding be-
came acquainted with him. Mr..
Harding was one of the principal
hackers of the Marion club. He de-
cided that Cooper was destined to
become a great pitcher and he urged
the Cleveland club to give him
chance. Cooper was given a tr'ai
with the Indians, and was being
dropped when Pittsburgh grabbed
him. He soon developed into a star
and much of the Pirates pennant
hopes are founded on him.

A Romance in Our Midst

vTYHO says that the days of ro-
" nance and adventure are
W overt In the words of Ham
let, "List, list! Oh, list!'
Mr.. Mayo and his second wife are
at loggerheads. Mrs. Mayo takes
her baby and disappears from New
York. Mr.. Mayo sends his young
son-by former marriage-in pur-
suit. The son traces them to
little town in Mississippi, grabs the
baby and hurries to Chicago, the
mother and her friends after him.
In Chicago he meetsa girl, turns
the baby over to her and rushes off
to lead his pursuers astray. The
girl takes care of the baby and car
ries it safely to New York while
the babyless son is being eagerly
pursued.
Then, when all the dust has settled,
the son and the Chicago girl get
married. After the ceremony they
go to an aviation field where an air
plane is waiting to take them on the
first lap of their honeymoon. All
that is lacking is that his stepmother
and her friends should follow him
in submarine.
The father is opposed to the mar
fiage, first, because he thinks his son
is too young; and, second, on general
principles. The son brings the bride
to his father, who finds her charm

Der one. Objection number two is:

posed to matrimony on general

FOrdney for
a Sales Tax


and Means Committee, MIR.
! Fordney, tells Michigan audi
ences that the adjusted compensa-
ton bill will surely be passed next
December
He adds that he is in favor OF a
/ per cent tax on wholesale sales to
pay the bonus.
We agree with him that this meas
ure of simple justice to the men who
carried our arms to victory in the
great war will be passed, if not next
December, then at some other date
not distant; if not by this Congress,
then by one which has heard from
the plain folk back home.
And we are glad to learn that the
chairman of the committee which
originates revenue legislation has
had the foresight to declare in part,
even at this late day, for the sales
tax.
To be sure, the bill which this
committee recently framed and
which the branch of the Congress
under his leadership has just passed
is silent on the subject-a silence
believed by many to be due to un-
called for political timidity.
Also, among the Senators sitting
in review upon the House measure
the same silence is encountered.
Even Senators who in private admit
that the sales tax is the best avail
able means of obtaining revenue are
reluctant to express it openly.
Perhaps they would gain new
courage of conviction if they, like
Mr.. Fordney, could go home and get
in touch with the people. When
they do regain this touch they will
discover two things:
~ That the people are not at all
convinced of the need of loaning
more hundreds of millions to the
railroads and Of letting our foreign
debtors fund their debts into long
term bond issues with deferred in
terest payments while thousands of
discharged soldiers are stranded,
without incomes and without work
and
(2) That they are not half SO
much opposed to the sales tax as
the politicians think they are.
They are quite willing to pay q
moderate tax on sales if assured that
the money will be spent for q
worthy purpose and not wasted.
