dicament as an excuse for letting
Becky know that he loved her.

cause I had nothing to offer you. And
now, why, I'm afraid just because
you're so glOriOusly up to date and
oh, snappy and full Of pep that dad

For Becky had jumped up and was

For Becky had a twin, identical in
looks, but very opposite in tastes

huge tortoise shell spectacles which

Now. because jerry vas desperately

all else, he fell right in with Becky's
scheme; nor did he worry about the
intended deception of his father. Once
married to Becky his father would
surely capitulate to her charms and

If father approves of your sister,

Cough, and the house coughs with

coughing is mere habit and could be
controlled. What good the actors pro.

the outlook for a coughless theater is
not wholly hopeless. People no long

to refine the cough.

Maek's Team Tells Why Hs
Became Ball Scout.

Tom Turner, scout for Connie Mack
for several years, who goes to the
Portland club as scout and coach, tells
a story o. himself. It relates to how
he became a scout instead of a mere
pitcher. Turner, though an inhabitant
OF Philadelphia. had spent most Of his
baseball career pitching in the minors
Of the West, but in 1915 he managed
to land with Connie Mack for a trial.
Now let him tell it:
"At last l appeared above the sur
face in baseball. I was a big league
pitcher. My career in the maintop was
brief, however. It actually began when
Connie sent me in to pitch a game
against Cleveland-it ended when
Joe jackson hit one over behind the
score board with three on.

with which l had made that decision

she had ordained wide gorgeous flower

Melitta had just three roses set

the trees would cost o money than

bargained for them, tentatively, as

" she went to face him, her hands
earthly, her cotton frock faded and
patched all down the front. But she
forgot all that when the tree man let
her know her order was following
him. His firm had taken to motor
truck delivery, also to sending along
with its trees expert planters. Hence
his presence. The bill? No hurry
about it-though money was never in
the way. This with a gay smile and
a twinkling Of fine blue eyes. Possibly
the ~twinkling made Miss Horne inter-
pose: "Mlitter, while you're buying
trees get some evergreens for this
yard. 1t does look SO bare, nothing
but grass till you come to the front
