a fine prospect.
Mack's nickname of "stubby' is a
misnomer, as he is six feet tall and
weighs 1S5 pounds. He started base
ball as bat boy with one of his home
town semi-pro teams in San Diego
He was picked up around Los Angeles
and signed by the Calgary team in
the Western Canada League. AT the
close of the 1920 season he was picked
up by Seattle for $1,000 and was turn
ed over to Tacoma in the Pacific In

He had a hard time getting going
this year and made poor record, but
it is said that he was a vietom of hard
luck. He pitches overland like all of
the old timers.

such a jewel in Pitcher Pilette, who
was regarded as excess baggage on the

inclinations into the park. He struck
across the Drive into side street. An
apartment house occupied the corner,
but from the other side row of hand
some private dwellings faced him.
The janltor of the apartment house
was watering the parking beyond the
sidewalk. The edge of the stream
from the nozzle of the hose sprayed
the path in front of Clay. He hesi-
tated for a moment to give the man
time TO turn aside the hose.
But the janitor on this particular
morning had been fed up with trouble.
One of the tenants had complained Of
him to the agent Of the place. Another
had moved away without tipping him
for an hours help In packing he had
given her. He was sulkily Of the opin-
ion that the whole world was In a
conspiracy to annoy him. Just now the
approaching rube typided the world.

Clay stopped In front Of Kitty and
said he hoped she would have no
trouble making her transfer In the
city. The girl was no fool. She had
sensed the antagonism that had fiared
up between them In that moment when
they had faced each other five minutes
before.

"But the train hasn't stopped"

INJURED half to herself. "Why would
he get off before we reached the de-
pot?"
She was full of suspicious, and the
bruise on the westerner's cheek did
not tend to allay them. They were
still unsatisfied when the porter took
her to the end of the car to brush
her clothes.
The discretion of that young man
had its limits. While he brushed the
girl he told her rapidly what he had
seen in the vestibule.
"Was he hurt?" she asked breath
lessly.
"No'm. / looked out and seen him

With that she turned her back on

The westerner started on his way.
There was no use having row with a
sulky janitor.
But the Swede misunderstood his
purpose. At Clay's first step forward
he jerked round the nozzle and let the
range rider have it with full force.
Clay was swept back to the wall by
the heavy pressure of water that
played over him. The stream moved
swiftly up and down him from head
to foot till 1t had drenched every inch
of the perfect fifty-five-dollar suit. He
drowned fathoms deep in a water
spout. He was swept over Niagara
Falls. He came to life again to find
himself the choking center Of a world
flood.
He gave strangled whoop and
hose. The two clinched. While they
struggled, the writhing hose slapped
back and forth between them like an
agitated snake. Clay had one adj
vantage. He was wet through anyhow.

deluge struck him. The janitor fought

Before his dull brain had functioned
to action an iron grip had him by the
back of the neck. He was jerl<ed to
his feet and propelled forward to the
curb. Every inch of the way the heavy
stream from the nozzle broke on mis-
face and neck. 1t paraiyzed his re-

tight, slipped the nozzle through the

Of the man to his body. With the deft
skill Of trained roper Clay swung the
rubber pipe round the body of the man
again and again, drawing 1t close to
the post and knotting 1t securely be-

Clay told the story Of the 1fty-five-
dollar suit that l. Bernstein had
wished on him with near-tears Of re-
greet at parting from it. The cow
puncher dramatlzed the situation with
some native talent for mimicry. His
arms gestured like the lifted wings OF
startled cockereI. "A man gets a

Colin whitford was OF the West him
self. He had lived Its rough-and-tumble
life for years before he made his
lucky strike In the Bird Cage. He had
moved from Colorado to New York
only ten years before. The sound of
Clay's drawing voice was like a mes
sage from home. He began to grin
In spite of himself. This man was too
good to be true. 1t wasn't possible
that anybody could come to the big
town and import into II so naively
such a genuine touch OF the outdoor
West. 1t was not possible. but 1t had
happened just the same. Long before
the COW puncher had finished his story
of hog-tying the Swede to a hitching
post with his own hose, the mining
man was sealed OF the large tribe OF
Clay Llndsays admirers. He was
ready to hide him from all the police
In New York.
Whitford told Stevens to bring In
the fifty-five-dollar suit so that he
could gloat over 1t. He let out whoop
of delight at sight of its still s0dden
appearance. He examined Its sickly
hue with chuckles Of mirth.
Guaranteed not to fade or shrink"
murmured Clay sadly.
He managed to get the coat on with
difficulty. The sleeves reached just be-
low the elbows.
"You look like a lifer from Sing

"Get a haircut, and you won't have
a chance on earth to fool the police

admitted Clay.
