am in position to state that
a lot of managers wanted to get
Babe Ruth for their clubs. But
the only way they can get him
now is to have their pitchers walk
the big fellow all the time. That
boy gets more walking than Ed
ward Payson Weston ever saw,
and if walking means health, why
Mr.. Ruth should be cumming
over with it, as they say.
Certain of our clubs who
thought they had crack pitchers
in the spring turned opt to have
cracked pitchers in the summer.
My friend, Mr.. McGraw-and if
you doubt he is my friend, write
him a postal letter and find out
says that the whole thing depends
on pitchers. If his pitchers turn
sour, then it means cheese for
the Giants.
1t the Pirates boXmen go acid,
then it looks like the Smoky City
will be giving stogies filed with
arsenic incense to their pitchers.
In Cincinnati Adolph Luque,
the Cuban hurler, is doing we'll.
With Cubans, Dutchmens, Irish
Meusels and Spanish Influenza
working all around our major cir
cults, why don't they call them
the international League in one
instance and the League of Ma
tons in the other.
So far as my eyes are con-
cerned, this American League has
more descendants from many
foreign climates than they have
natives of, we'll, let US say Iowa
or Montana.

Pancho Villa, the flashv Filipino,

"You command only through the
appetites-instinct is not enough
to feed enthusiasm-you have sn
ideal of domination which those
people there do not share" he
interrupted me in a dry tone of
voice: II have at my disposal in
finite resources and innumerable
helpers. If necessary / shall i'm
prison that turbulent mob until
the day of triumph; they will be
slaves again." "But if they re-
volt; if these helpers on whom you
rely prove faithfless, like Hernu"
with a look and slow seizing of
my hand which he pressed hard,
Avery stopped me; with his eyes
fixed upon mine he said in a deep
voice: 81 have never drawn back
Bayond when it was a question of
imposing my will: l will annihilare
all of them if it becomes necessary,
rather than yield" A few minutes
later we were in the large office
where nothing had moved since we
left it. Avery's first move was to
open the door to the anteroom,
where Bella was sleeping so lethar-
gically. He dreamed minute be-
fore that radiant blonde white
image. At bottom, despite all he
could say here was the weak point
in that exceptional nature; cog
infant of the dangers which threat
ened his Goldfleller was still a man
wishing to be with his child and
the moment having come when ne
had to separate from her, he
thought where another man would
have wept. "Come" said he rough
ly, awe must hurry" He leaned
over the young girl, took her inert
form in his arms, holding her head
on his breast with instructive ten
derness; then in a broken voice:
"Take that lantern which had
used a little while before to dis
cover the body of Russmuss, and
passing through the narrow corri-
dor at the entrance of which the
old chemist had been assassinated,
/ followed the King of Jewels. The

sime-darkness; the little lantern lit

slowly. / thought that he was pro-
longing the pleasure of the last
minutes in which he was to hold
his child in his arms and that he
was putting off as long as possible

ate from her, for he would never

ture. "Here we are" he murmured

go down here" "Yes-Yes" They
were already moving towards him,
when Avery drew revolver from
his pocket, and turning it upon
the crowd stopped the menacing
advance: 81 shall kill the first one
who makes a step forward" said
he calmly. GAS for you, you
scamp, 1 could punish your i'm
pudenee and your crime with a
single bullet, but / repeat, you will
be punished. / wish you to get
real punishment, and exemplary
one in public, and l shall find you
when l want YOU" Lost in the
crowd, into the midst Of which he
had prudently forced his way, Her
nu shouted: eyes, you rascal, we
shall find our way out. l know
every corner of this damned
tower; / know where the diamonds
are, the gold reserves; know the
mechanism of all the elevators and
all the machines. We shall begin
by helping ourselves" A loud
voice interrupted him, it was one
of the service Photographs repeat
ing the monotonous warning which
had been sounding every five min
utes for the last two hours, in all
quarters of Aeria: Before eight
o'clock this morning.
Hardly a quarter of am hour
still remained and the instinct of
self-preservation proved til
strongest now. That hostile crowd
rushed rapidly in the direction of
the Central elevators, taking Her.
nu with them as he shouted his
threats and defiance at us in the
exaggerated language of furious,
discredited man.
Avery put his revolver back into
his pocket, a satisfied smile curl
ing his thin lips. 'Let US go back
quickly" said he. He helped me
take back the treasure to the
Government Palace, which he had
retaken with such audacity and
GOODNESS. When the heavy bronze
door closed behind us 1 stopped for
a minute to take breath, raising
my head at the same time to look
at the King of Jewels. "You were
wrong" said ], "not to have
cracked the skull Of that rascally
Hernu. He will gather all the mall
contents and thus you will have
an enemy within as well as with
out the City" He shrugged his
shoulders disdainfully without q

weight almost letting the precious
burden drop. Upon the appear
ance of the Master of Aeria a pro-
found silence succeeded to the
hubbub of conversation and it was
this silence which, first Of all at
tracted the attention of the man
stretched out on the ground, alb
sorbed in his work; he raised his
head. / recognized he unhealthy
face, the arrogant moustache of
Hernu. With a bound he was on
his feet and at once advanced to-
wards Avery: "You will give me
back that box" growled he, "and
if not" "That box does not be-
long to you," answered the King
of Jewels, calmly, at belongs to
me, and l am taking it back. for
you stole it from me, after having
assassinated him who had it in
charge. For that murder you will
be punished" The mechanician
shrugged his shoulders, turning to-
wards those around him, without
saying anything, and then with a
gesture towards Goldfeller he said:
punished! Punished! Do you
think so? For having put out of
the way that old poisoner Rass-
muss. Patience! that is nothing.
1t is the beginning of the end. We
have enough-do you hear? The
time when you could impose upon
US, and order US about is passed.
1t is now our turn. Come, get a
move on. You see that we too
can order. Now what we want
done is to make this elevator move
and as fast as you can" 1.-The

wish to be asphyxiated by the gas
which will begin to spread above

with sudden rage. He called to
the crowd which had seemed to be
powerfully by what
Avery had said. "You hear what
he says. They want to poison US.
Come and help, Friends. We will
know how to force him to let US
