of early welded life.

understand"
II understand" replied quietly,
fully sympathizing with her desire
to justify herself to herself in
some way for the deep emotion
shed once felt for the man she
had come to know was a bad
hombre."
She turned and looked me full
In the eyes, with a world Of mean
ing In her glance. There was pity
and a warning:
"Dick Is very charming-when
he wants to be. He has q way
of winning regard-a sort ofmag-
netism that makes him difficult
to resist IL he wants you to like
him. So don't feel hard toward
your father II. lin his love for Dick
he's overzealous in the West in
terests. But, also don't tell your
father anything you don't want
to get back to Dick. He's a great
one for extracting information.
and your fathers a bit too old
to be completely wary. He
wouldn't be a match for Dick.
you may be sure"
For a moment something caught
me by the throat. l think II was
q shame that Mabel should have
to defend my father to me-that
she should have to make II clear
to me how completely she was
judging him kindly and without
rancor. And in the next moment
. l realized that the time was very
near when for Jim's sake / might
have to make a clean breast to
her Of my fears and suspicious
about the poor little old man I
was ready to protect at any cost
which shouldn't fall too heavily
on Jim.
Pity l might feel for Dad Lee,
but have none of a daughters in
stinctive loyalty and devoted love
Z to back II up. He'd been out Of
my life too many years for me to
learn to care deeply for the man
who left my little mother and me
to suffer. Besides, there was
Father Andrew. I'd given him a
daughters love so long that I
couldn't pick It up as IL II were
a cup and saucer and transfer Il
to a new place.
You said a while ago that II we
could pick up Dicks trail at the
moment when he began planning
this campaign of his we'd not fail
to defeat him. SO now must talk
plainly to you. I'm going to reveal
to you for Jim's sake what I've
al n a,N
even my brother or my father
Andrew. I'm going to take my
feelings out and pull them to
pieces in front of your eyes"
Mabel turned to me with eyes
filled with tear9 I'd never seen
her strong, handsome face 20 ten
der and sweet,
you needn't, dear" she said In
the gentlest voice I've ever heard
her use. 1T know as much as I
need to about this little old father
of yours. I've picked up his trail
from the very moment when he
first met Mr.. Lee in the Northwest
and persuaded him to come here.
l see just how much Dick counted
on the fact that a member of your
immediate family was a devoted
friend of his. But owing to your
discretion and reserve, your poor
old father has been a useless tool
in Dicks hands"
you mean that7" gasped.
80 far your father hasn't wit
tingly or unwittingly hurt your
husband" she said with quite en-
phasis. But fear you can't
count on yourself to manage the
poor old man-always."

Storrow, as he usard her, re-
membered what Fannie Atwill had
already said to him. And he be-
gan to see, as Torrie sat explain
ing in detail to him Just how
Krassler wanted her to handle her
role in Clearance Papers, that she
was indeed lost, not only to him,
but to the rest Of the world.
She was lost to that world, he
felt, in spite Of the fact that she
had given herself to It. She i'm
pressed him as a woman about to
be sacrificed to some pagan and
unappeased idol. So engrossed
was she in that hieratic immola-
ton that II suddenly impressed
him as foolish even to recall the
purpose which had brought him
into her presence. 1t would be
kinder, he told himself, to leave
unsaid what he had intended to
say. And he was not sorry when
the lady with the secretarial air
tapped lightly but determinedly
on the outer door.
"You see," Torrie said with a
resentful head movement toward
that door, II can't even have tel
minutes to myself"
He took his departure, disturbed
by q confusion of impressions. The
most prominent Of these was the
remembered GOODNESS of her fingers
as he shook hands with her and
the awkwardness Of his own
tongue as he attempted to wish
her unqualified success in her
work.

 Remarkable Record
 It was during the seasons of 1918 and 1919 that Lavery posted one of the most phen omenal records in schOla Stic baseball. In those two years he lost but two games, both of them being extra inning contests, Taft being the winner in a 13-+nninS tilt in 1919, while Milford High was victorious in the following year in 3 struggle that last , innings.
 If Bavery makes a regular berth on the Holy Cross team he will be in the super-tWirler class, for he VIII be bucking against four phenoms in Jim Tunney, Bill Horan, Haddie Gill and Dinny Mclaughlin.
 Lavery has a younger brother who also shows signs of becoming great Ditcher-young Patsy-who shared the box duties with Gala gher last season. Some experts who saw Pat sy work last season declared he wil be a still greater boXman than his big brother Jim.

BILLS. BASEBALL
 CALL FOR FEB. 15

Coach Fred A. Hunt is entertaining big expectations for a strong Red and Black baseball team the coming sum mer. Hunt has fixed February 15 as the date for the call for indoor prac- tice. The expected return of Barak to school in February is an assurance that first base will be well taken care of. Barak last season played the in 4tia1 sack for the s. N. B. T. Eine and was one of the Seaside Park diamond SenSntions.
 Wardle, the big tackle of the foot ball team, will be one of the candi- dates. He has quite a reputation of being a slugger and a fast intielder and may fill the vacancy at third base that now exists. Hunt is counting on Colway for first base; Cooney, second base; Shea, at shortstop, as the ten tative infield. Other veterans who will be Syailab1e include Cate, Carl son, Strauss. Berger and others.

VIilI Make Good As ||Urap, :"
 Belief OF Big Ed Wazsh

Ed Walsh is nursing ideas that he will make good as an umpire in the American League.
 Walsh himself figures that he is we'll qualified to umpire. He saw Bill Dineen, once a great Red Sox pitcher, develop into one of the most able ar bitTators in the game. He knows that Hank O'Day, another pitcher, was the leading umpire of the National League staff for years. And he points to the fact that Umpire Johnson of some years back was a competent official after he had quit the mound, over weight being the real cause of his re- tirem ent.
 ''Umpiring is Nike everything else" says Ed. If you make the men re- spect you, and can prove that you know how to run the game, you won't have much trouble.
 Ball players are human. They make mistakes, and they lose their tempers at times. but in nine cases ouf of 0 their exhibition of temper is only a flash in the pan. Very few players carry grudges out of the game or off the ball field. The moment that game is over their argument with the umpire is all over.
 I've been all through the mill. I have made my kicks and like the rest have won few arguments. l don't claim that I will be infalilible. Few unpires can. But men like Evans, Connolly, Dineen, K1em and the rest are all grand fellows and competent
