For long time after he went she
lay on the couch, sobbing violently,
and telling herself over and over
again how much she hated him and
what brute he was to go and leave
her like that He loved her no more
she was sure of it-else how could he
have done as he did? Perhaps, there
was someone else? Now that she came
to think of it, he had acted sort of
queer the past few days, as if he had
been trying to hide Something from
her. 1t would be utterly impossible to
live with him now, she thought She
would pack up few things and go
home to her folks before he got back
from the office; perhaps then when he
came home and found her gone he
would realize how cruel he had been.
But it was quite while before she
could bring herself to the point of pre-
pairing to make the break; then. still
sobbing, she went to the back closet
of the little apartment, and reaehing
on an upper shelf she pulled down a
small travelling bag. But in getting
it from its place package that had
been placed behind it fell to the floor.
Picking it up, she found that it was a
Christmas package tied with fancy
ribbon, with little card dangling at
the end. She read the words on the
card: ITO the dearest little woman in
all the world from her adoring hus-
band" and as she did so her sobs
ceased and soft, luminous light
came into her eyes. Charlie loved her
OF course he loved her! What of their
foolish little quarrel of the morning?
It was all her fault anyway. She real
lied 1t now.
Putting the package and bag back
upon the shelf as they had been before
she touched them. she went back
through the hall and walked swiftly
TO the telephone, but just as she
picked up the receiver to call Charlie,
she heard his latchkey in the door. He
stood sheepishly in the doorway a mo-
ment, then came in muttering as he
did SO about having forgotten some
thing.
But Mabel ran swiftly toward him,
and in moment her arms were

twined about his neck and she was
telling him that the quarrel was all
her fault, every bit Of it--and that she
loved him more than all the world be-
cause he was the dearest and best of
husbands
But Charlie would not hear of this
at all, but vowed and declared be-
tween kisses that every bit of the
wretched quarrel was due to his hor-
rid temper. He told her that he real
lied this as soon as he got to his Office
and had come back for no other reason
than to see If there was any chance
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1923-12-06

Of their making up. And he told her
inat u she would really forgive him
Just this one time that there would
never be another quarrel as LONG as
they lived.
And Mabel, with her head buried IN
ms shoulder, told him that of course
she would forgive him-that II was
really her fault anyway. but woman~
IKE she hid from him the fact that
she had discovered the hidden Christ
mas gift that was reposing ON the
cioset Shelf and the part 1t had PLAYED
In uniting them again. -

JOE TURNER IS
SIGNED WITH
JORDON
INDOOR eSPoRTS

Joe Turner and Chris Jordon,
Washington's veteran of the mat
and the so-called Terrible Creek"
have been matched by Promoter Joe
Freeman for q finish bout. best two
falls in three, at the Coliseum on
the night of December Is. Wise fol-
lowers Of the mat game are locking
for blood on the moon that night.
Turner and Jordon are to weigh
in at 1873 pounds, give or take two
pounds" explained Freeman today.
Turner is under that weight now
and expect no trouble with Jor-
don.
But when it comes to naming
the referee, that's something else
again. Turner wants Pat O'Connor.
don't think Jordon will accept
him. He may have big kick when
it comes to naming the third man
In the ring. AS soon as he gets
here, I shall take up that matter
with him."
That Jordon is in good shape was
indicated by his tough contest
against Johnny Meyers in Chicago
Tuesday night. Not until they had
tugged and tussled for an hour and
quarter did Meyers succeed in
clamping on his deadly stopper hold
and win the bout. They were
wrestling to a single fall.
Bobby Mainfort, the Virginia col
lege wrestling coach, and Zeke
Smith, of Richmond, are likely to
meet in the second star bout Of the
evening, though Promoter Freeman
has not yet settled his card

And Chapman Died.

FINALLY toward the close of
Il the 1920 campaign, Ray
= Chapman, the popular Cleve-
land shortstop, stopped one Of
Mays balls with his head. He died
the following day and only the cool
tact of Iris Speaker prevented q
general rebellion on the part Of
American League players.
There was q sort of legal inves-
tigation, clearing Mays of any in:
tent to kill or injure Chapman, and
in a week he was back on the
mound for the Yankees. But ball
players everywhere did a lot of
thinking about him. He gained
nothing in their estimation.
Mays was the center Of a whirl-
wind in 1919 which split the Amer
lean League wide open and was the
basis for the move to make Judge
Lands supreme overload of base
ball.
AS a member Of the Red Sox he
quit game in Chicago and was
suspended by Ed Barrow, then
manager of the Boston club. He
went to his home under suspension.
Harry Frazee sold him, still under
suspension, to the New York
Yankees for $40, 900 and some play
