CHAPTER TX

With the first gleam of Thursdays
light Nadine arose and stood looking
out from the window. Her father had
come in late and was to depart again
early for the hills, but she was afraid
lest he might have changed his mind.
She heard him moving about, but she
waited a long time before she went to
meet him, SO sweet it was to stand
there at the window to catch the first
ray of the sun.
The old man hummed jagged tune;
In a garden of melody it would have
been briar. Nadine came out, and
gallantly he kissed her hand, laughing
softly; and then as was his wont, he
kissed her hair.
Her duties about the house were
light, but he helped her, and when
their queer assortment of plates and
dishes, gold-rimmed china, crOckery,
stoneware and tin plate had been
washed and put away, they sat in the
shade of the house, the girl anxious
and wondering.

Turning, the fellow made off.
"Now, who the devil was that?"
asked Drace.
"That my dear Drace," replied the
! General. "was the fellow you asked
| about the other day-Stepho Ia Vitte."
TO Drace this encounter with Stepho
la yitte, the father Of the girl he
loved-and the outlaw upon whom he
had sworn to wreak vengeance-was
disturbing indeed. The General, how
ever. was not at all upset by the fact
that he had been barely saved from
StephO's knife, and when a short time
later they boarded the Bumblebee on
their return, he gripped Major Pewitt's
hafd and said:
"Major Mr.. Drace and I have in our
precious possession three quarts of old
Tobe's wild grape"
"Ha-which is as much as to say
that you have three quarts stewed out
of the heart of Venus. I'll find Haw-
kins and the four of us will gather in
the Texas and--and fiatter the stars,

have any of the old stock left"
"And liars wine is sweet, my dear
Major. Come, Virgil, my boy, put all
brooding out of your mind. BrOoding
is for the poet when the nag is tired,
and not for us. Well have night of
it, and then We'll return to respectable
servitude and slow moral decay. My
dear Major. lead on We follow"
The remainder of the trip back to
Bethpage was a matter of moral free
dom at the gaming table for the Cen
eral. For Drace it was occupied with
the hot struggle between thoughts of
his grim mission against StephO, and
his longing for Nadine. For the time
being however, the beautiful girl who
had rescued him from the burning hut
triumphed. She had promised to see
him once more on Thursday He
would keep the tryst.
Is Presently the Bumblebee made Beth

pitality was at once so warm and so
gracious that Drace felt no hesitancy
In remaining for the time being under
his roof-until Shottle's return, at
least. That night after dinner when
his wife, Tycie, had left, the old gen
tleman lit cigar and for a long time
sat smoking in silence and Drace was
silent. too. looking through the lattice
at the moon, loves slow timepiece

"Virgil?'
''Yes, General"
"Have you pistol, sr?"
"Ne: I had one, but lost it,"
"Well. provide yourself with anoth-
err. In saving me from deadly assault
YOU have mortally offended old La
Vitte. He is in no wise afraid; but
neither is he gallant, and would shoot
You without warning. You told me,
YOU remember, of your appointment to
meet old Spence tomorrow l haven't
any too much confidence in him; he

of the old fellow I'm going with. His
name is-Spillers, think
Il don't know a man of that name in
the neighbOrhood. But, anyway, arm
yourself and keep a sharp lookout"
And then they sat and smoked in
silence, inhaling the dewy breath of
the night.

The property Of the I. S. c.. Corpora

in excavation work, as we'll as more
than $4,000 in steel work, was sold at
public auction yesterday to satisfy
second mortgage of s210,500 held by
the Centerheld Company. The prop
crty brought only 1871 500.
1t went on the first bid, which was
made by Herman Storch, a lawyer, of
20 Nassau Street, acting for the Cen
tcrheld Company. Thus only $4,000
atovc the second mortgage and Interest
was realized, while a first mortgage Of
s200,00O is held by the Prudential In
surarce Company.
A.; the property was generally valued
close to 100000, the sale of yesterday
was a distinct upset to the financial
plans Of the international Sporting
Club, for whom the 7. S. c. was a hold
ing corporation organized for the pur-
posc Of building clubhouse and box
ing arena for the members of the In

that his efforts to protect the interests

Borglum, however, expressed himself

that the club can now proceed uns

Just how the club will be freed from
the T. s. c. Corporation liabilities is
not plain, but it is said that the bulld-

National Handicap
Squash Tournament
Starts Here To-day


With total of ffty-eight entries,
including all of the stars of the game,
the annual national handicap squash
tennis tournament will start on the
courts of the Yale Club this afternoon.
r. Earle Fink, of the Crescent A. c.,
was the winner last year but it is
doubtful if the Brooklyn player will
repeat, for he is handicapped at minus
8, having only a two-point advantage
over Jay Gould. Columbia Club; Thom-
as Coward, Yale Club, and T. Van S.
Hyde, Harvard, the national champion.
Others who are conceding points to
the field are: A. j. Cordier. Yale,
former national title holder, who will
John Taylor. Princeton. minus 5; Liv-
ingston Platt and OF. Guernsey, Yale,
scratch, and II. r. Mixscll, Prince
ton, minus 6.
Thomas Coward. the junior national
champion who recently won the annual
fall scratch tournament, appears to
have an excellent chance to play in
the final of the present meet, although
the Handicapped has been none too
liberal with the Yale star in putting
him on the same mark with the pres
cnt national champion.
Gould, Cordier, Fink and the rest of
the stars right down the line have
all been defeated by Coward, Hyde
being the only player who stands in the
Junior title holders path, if past per-
formances are to count for anything.
Whether the youngster can beat Hyde,
if this pair should survive to reach the
final is questionable, but the Yale man
will have lots of supporters.

Want O'Day to Stick

Some of our boys who we're writing
obituaries for Henry O'Day, dean Of
Nation League. umpires (beg pardon,
Mr. Emslie), who was supposed to be
through with his time-honored major
career, may have to apologize to him
before the tocsin tickles April u. Ac-
cording to John A. Heydler. president
Of the National League, who was in
Chicago yesterday, Hank O'Day will in
all probability wear his mask and wind
pad over the circuit not only this year
but for some years to come.
1t was reported some time ago that
O'Day had turned in his resignation.
This announcement, it appears, was
somewhat premature. O'Day was
trfc discouraged in 1921 because of
i'll health and had desire to live per-
manently on the Coast. But his health
has improved greatly. Heydler is anx-
ious to retain O'Day's services, so the
matter may be considered as settled.
O'Day, by the way, enjoys unique
distinction. He is one of two pitchers
from whose delivery Sam Crane, the
dean of New York baseball writer's,
knocked a home run in the old Ma
tional League days of the late 'Sos.
The other pitcher, who will go name
less, was released the same night.
Shortly afterward he committed mur
der and died in an insane asylum.
John McGraw once reminded O'Day
of Sans home run. He was chased off
the field few hours ahead of three
davs' s,1snension.
