going on since we came. But I'll try
now to begin at the beginning and tell
what happened.
Well, first we got into Boston at
four o'clock Monday afternoon, and
there was Grandpa Desmond to meet
us. He's lovely-tall and dignified,
with grayish hair and merry eyes like
Mothers, only his are behind glasses.
At the station he just kissed Mother
and me and said he was glad to see us,
and led us to the place where Peter
was waiting with the car. (Peter
drives Grandpa's automobile, and he's
lovely, too.)
Mother and Grandpa talked very
fast and very lively all the way home,
and Mother laughed quite lot. But
in the hall she cried a little, and
Grandpa patted her shoulder, and said,
There, there!" and told her how glad
he was to get his little girl back, and
that they were going to be very happy
now and forget the past. And Mother
said, yes, yes, indeed, she knew she
was; and she was so glad to be there,
anu tlldI everything was SOlHS W De
just the same, wasn't it? Only-then
all of sudden she looked over at me
and began to cry again-only, of
course, things couldn't be "just the
same" she choked, hurrying over to
me and putting both arms around me,
and crying harder than ever.
Then Grandpa came and Rugged us
both, and patted us, and said, 'There
there!" and pulled off his glasses and
wiped them very fast and very hard.
But it wasn't only minute or two
before Mother was laughing again, and
saying, Nonsense !" and 1.-THE idea -
and this was a pretty way to introduce
her little Marie to her new home |!

ABOUT A MONTH LATER

1t wasn't long enough. And really, /
don't know as I've got much to add
to it now. There's nothing much hap
pened.
/ go to school now and don't have
so much time for fun. Schools pretty
good, and there are two or three girls
most as nice as the ones at Anderson
Vile. But not quite. Out of school
Mother keeps things just as lively as
ever, and we have beautiful times.
Mother is having a lovely time with
her own friends, too. Seems as if there
is always some one here when I get
home, and lots Of times there are teas
and parties, and people to dinner.
There are gentlemen, too. / suppose
one Of them VIII be Mothers lover by
and by; but of course I don't know
which one yet. I'm awfully interested
in them, though. And of course it's
perfectly natural that I should be.
Wouldn't you be interested in the man
that was going to be your new father?
Well, just guess you would! Any
body would.
they're all different. They'd make very
different kinds of fathers, I'm sure,
and Pm afraid wouldn't like some
of them. But, after all, it's Mother
that ought to settle which to have
not me. She's the one to be pleased.
'Twould be such a pity to have to
change again. Though she could of
course, same as she did Father, sup
pose.
AS I said, they're all different. There
are only two that are anywhere near
alike, and they aren't quite the same,
for ones lawyer and the others
in bank. But they both carry canes
and wear tall silk hats, and part their
hair In the middle, and look at you
through the kind of big round eye

make you look awfully homely If they
didn't make you look so stylish. But
l don't think Mother cares very much
for either the lawyer or the bank man
and I'm glad. / wouldn't like to live
with those glasses every day, even If
they are stylish. I'd much rather have
Fathers kind.
Then there's the man that paints
pictures. He's tall and slim, and wears
queer ties and long hair. He's always
standing back and looking at things
with his head on one side, and ex.
claiming "Ohl" and "Ahl" with long
breath. He says Mothers coloring is

Four O'Clock Monday Afternoon, and
There Was Grandpa Desmond to

Then she hurried me to the dearest
little room / ever saw, right out OF
hers, and took off my things. Then
we went all over the house. And it,
just as lovely as can be-not at all

Oh, Fathers is fine and big and
handsome, and all that, of course; but
not like this. His is just nice place
to eat and sleep In, and go to when it

they're lovely, too.

BIG DIAMOND DEALS
OF PAST FEW YEARS
Sale of Marquard for Sill 600

Purchase Of Heinie Groh for $f5o,cj0
Recalls Some Other Notable
Transactions-Babe Ruth Cost
Yankees $137, 800.

From the days when King Kelly was
a $4,000 beauty is far cry, IL the
noise is on record prices for baseball
stars. But going back only a little
over dozen years ago from the pur-
chase of RUDE MarQuardt, the then
81 600 lemon, to Heinie Groh, the
10000 question mark, that is con-
sidered long distance articulation
where money Is making baseball con-
versation.
1t was in 1908 that John McGraw
paid the then record price Of 1000
simoleuns for the wry-nicked south
paw and the fans made wry faces
over Rube's disastrous debut. And
this stood as the high cost Of ball
players till four years later when Bar
ney Dreyfuss startled Random and
shocked his pocketbook to the extent
Of S22,500 for Marty O'Toole, who,
ike Marquard, was also an American
association purchase.
In 1915 the $4,000 figure was
reached when Comiskey parted with
the amount and Connie Mack surren-
dered Eddie Collins. This price was
t15,OOO more than was paid for Frank
Baker and also for Benny Kauff, the
following year. 1t only equaled the
bargain rates on iris Speaker and
Grover Alexander, who in 1915 and
1918 brought $4,000 respectively.
Carl Mays, in 1919, raised the ante
and the ire Of Ban johnson when he
was disposed of by the Red Sox for
$4,000. But in 1920, when Babe
Ruth cost the Yanks $137, 800 In cash
and players, though cheap at the
price, it seemed hasty gold had been
substituted for quick silver In the
Players Price Thermometer and that
fever heat In expenditure had been
registered
Yes, 1t is far cry from the old days

Everything seems awfully queer.
Maybe because Father isn't here, for
one thing. He wrote very polite and
and he said he was going to New York
on business for several days. so Mother
need not. fear he should annoy her
with his presence. Then, another
thing, Mothers queer. This morning
she was singing away at the top of her
voice and running all over the house
picking up things she wanted; and
i found her down on the floor in the
library crying as if her heart would
break, with her head in Fathers big
chair before the fireplace. But she
junped up the minute / came in and
said, no, no, she didn't want anything.
She was just tired; that's all. And
when I asked her if she was sorry,
after all, that she was going to Boston
to live, she said, no, no, no, indeed,
she guessed she wasn't. She was just
as glad as glad could be that she was
going only she wished Monday would
hurry up and come so we could be
gone.
And that's all. It's Saturday now,
end we go just day after tomorrow.
Our trunks are most packed, and
Mother says she wishes she'd planned
to go today. I've said goodbye to all
the girls, and promised to write loads
of letters about Boston and every
thing. They are almost as excited as
I am; and I've promised, "cross my
heart and hope to die" that / won't

IN BOSTON

SYNOPSIS.-In a preface Mary
Marie explains her apparent "dou-
BILE personality" and just why is a
'cross-current and a contradict
ton; she also tells her reasons
for writing the diary-later to be
a novel. The diary Is commenced
at Andersonyille. Mary begins with
Nurse Sarahs account of her
(Mary's) birth, which seemingly in
terested her father, who is a ia
nous astronomer, less than a new
star which was discovered the same
night. Her name is compromise;
her mother wanted to call her
Viola and her father insisted on
Abigail Jane. The child quickly
learned that her home was in some
way different from those of her
small friends, and was puzzled
thereat. Nurse Sarah tells her of
her mothers arrival at Anderson
vile as bride and how astonished
they all were at the sight of the
dainty eighteen-year-old girl whom
the sedate professor had chosen for
a wife. Nurse Sarah makes it plain
why the household seemed a strange
one to the child and how her ia
Their and mother drifted apart
through misunderstanding each too
proud to in any way attempt to
smooth over the situation. Mary
tells of the time spent "out west
where the perfectly all right and
genteel and respectable" divorce
was being arranged for, and her
mothers (to herr unaccountable be-
havior. BY the courts decree the
child is to spend six months of the
year with her mother and six
months with her father. Boston is

guess 1t was some more of that in
compatibility stuff. Anyhow, as they
began to talk more and more, Mother
began to fidget, and pretty soon I saw
she was gathering up our things; and
the minute the curtain went down
after the first act, she says:
"Come, dear, we're going home. IT.

that's1a very different matter. You

Well, / was In the window-seat In
the library reading when Mother and
Aunt Hattie came in; and Mother was
saying:
"Of course / came out Do you sup

play, after l realized what it was? AS

wretched stuff already in her short

Mother saw me then, / know; for
she stopped right off short, and after
a moment began to talk of something
else, very fast. And pretty quick tn
went out into the hall again.
Dear little Mother! Bless her old
heart! Isn't she the ducky dear to
want me to have all the good times
possible now so as to make up for the
six months I've got to be with Father
You see, she knows what 1t Is to live
with Father even better than I do
But l know now why I've been hav-
ing such a perfectly beautiful time
all this week, and why Mother has
been filling every minute SO full of
fun and good times. Why, even when
we're at home here, she's always hunt
ing up little Lester and getting him to
have romp with us.
But of course next week I've got to
go to school, and it can't be quite so
jolly then. Well, guess that's all for
this time.
