The inquest was not to be held until

The first place we stopped on our
arrival in town was at large drug

the proprietor. When he appeared,
BARLEY placed a small object on the

Alexander Was Near
Perfect Ball Game

Three perfect games have been
pitched in modern history-by
Charley Robertson, Addie Joss
and old Cy Young, respectively.
BY perfect game" is meant
one in which no opposing batter
reaches first base in nine Ia
nings.
Which recalls an incident in
the pitching life of Grover Alex
ander Of the Cubs. Back In 1912,
when a youngster with the Phil
lies, Alex faced Cy Young in one
game Young was IN his final
major league season. being con-
nected with the Braves.
The battle was staged NJ Bos-
ton and Alex allowed one hit,
Dot Miller, IN outiielder, making
a swinging bunt and beating II
TO first He was the only Brave
who reached the base all after
noon.
Alexander captured the game,
] 10 0, John Lobert making q hit
Off Young with man on base IN
the ninth and driving the run
home.
But for that swinging bunt Of
Millers, Grover Alexander
might have been another pitcher
In modern b story to have a per
feet game TO his credit. And il
would have been all the more
unique because 1t would have
been made against Young, him
self one of the lmmOrtals.

CHAPTER v.

In March, Baldwin & Lansing
moved downtown to occupy a tenn
porary building erected on the site
of their former offices on Post
street. With amazing rapidity, the
business district was resuming
some of its old appearance and
much of its former activity. Bald
win & L.ansing's move had been
hurried by the sale Of the corner
Philip owned on Fillmore street
to the piano concern.
'"The bottoms going to drop out
Of this market. sure's you're alive
Wilbur predicted. in urging him to
sell. Cash in when you can"
Philip sold his corner at a big
profit. His speculations had in
variably proved advantageous; he
had been extraordinarily lucky.
As his personal expenditures were
insignificant compared to his In
come. his revenues steadily accu-
mulated; one day he realized with
satisfaction he could reasonably
regard himself as a rich man. Just
how much he had invested in stock,
bonds and other sound securities,
he kept to himself. Wilbur was
always boasting about his own
shrewd deals. his wise investments
and easy profits. Philip said little,
but occasionally let slip some tri.
fling evidence showing that he, too,
"ade money. AS even the
small establishment he maintained
for Mrs. Grotenberg was kept
secret. there was nothing to show
that he spent anything at all.

FOR FALL

M cess without the proper
- footwear. Brown is the
prevailing shade for. fall. From
dark brown suede, there is a
dashing model with cross-straD
anklette and Spanish heel. With
this one wears the cocoa colored
hose of sheer chiffon or Italian
silk.
Combination sandals are clav-
erly created, and one favorite
comes in cocoa colored suede with
bindings Of dark brown leather.
Heels are either low, Spanish or
Of the baby French type.
For dancing, or to accompany
the crepe silk frock, there are
some brand new models in heavy
black or dark brown satin. The
extreme sandal, with the single
ankle strap, has disappeared for a
more substantial type, with mod
crate cut.outs.
Novelty shoes of all kinds are
shown, but women are a little
weary of the colored shoe, and
1t has passed somewhat into OBJ
livion.
For walking, business or school
the low-heeled military model OF
corduvan is still favored because
of its durability and smartness.
One finds both the oxford tie and
the strapped and buckled models
in evidence. Silk and wool mix
ture hose has preference over the
seasons.
For evening wear the brocaded
silks and satins, threaded with
gold and silver, are favored, ard
there are some interesting new
gold and silver metallic cloth slip

Flesh satin sandals with nude
chiffon hose give a startling ap-

draped type Of gown.
Slippers to match the evening
gowns are made to order In
