they were glad it wasn't twins.
All of a sudden a lot Of
people started rushing out of a
building and looking askance at
each other. When folks start
glancing that way, you may
know something is up.
In q trice, the extras were
on the street, and you should
have seen the women and chill

pale and many of them rushed
to telephone booths to ask
Central if it was so.
Soda water fountains did q
rushing business. TaxiCabs skit-
tered hither and thither. Street
car motormen changed their
bells in bedlam. Grown women
shrugged their shoulders. There
was much indignation.
When all of the narrowing
details and some Of the facts had
been thoroughly devoured, a
pail settled over the scene and
you could have heard a safe
drop.
Smelling salts were admin

They have better than doubled
the Red Sox safe hit total and
more than doubled their total Of
basee on their clouts. The champs
look like real sluggers at Fenway
Park.
Earl McNeely Is the latest Of the
Griffs to blossom out az a slugger.
He strutted his stuff against Paul
Zahniser, last year with the Wash.
ington club, and Young Ross, the
kid southpaw. In the eighth in
ming of Coveleskie's brilliant 11-to.0
victory McNeely belted the ball far
over the left field barriers. It was
an honest.to-goodness homer on any
park and would have landed up
among the sunfish in the left field

"Just to prove it, I'm going to

That started the real razzberry
chorus.

McNeely faced Ross. Once more
the Californian got hold of a ball
to his liking. driving it high into

wind almost carried it foul, but 1t

Bucky Harris as he went to bat.

However, 1t was a bit too Tar for
Bucky, his drive merely bouncing
off the left field fence and back

Genial Roland Robbins is another

The Times to invite all the six win
ners and all the six runner.up to a
box party at Keith's to celebrate
their prowess. The exact date Of
the party has not been fixed, but
1t will probably be Tuesday, July
II. If you have any tentative
engagements for that evening, you
may as we'll kill them now, be-
cause that party at Keith's will be
q real enjoyable affair.
Every one and his brother enjoys
seeing and hearing good vaudeville,
and that is something that Keith's
hasn't anything else but. Two en-
tire boxes have been allotted to The
Times happy family. And If you
don't get in as winner, come and
see your friends sporting themselves
in that Presidential box. They will
strut their peacock feathers that
night If they never do again.
The winner and runner.up of
the tournament will be taken to
Garden City, Long Island. as the
guest Of the Times at the Nation
al Municipal links tournament.

not want to impose a hardship on
any one.
With the qualifying play ending
Wednesday night. the pairings and
time OF play for matches will be
announced Thursday. This naper
will carry them in full, and it is
up to the golfers to know where
they come in. If you find your
name on that list, you are entitled
to that luscious banquet at the
Arlington. Don't forget that.
The first rounds Of match NAV
will be started Friday morning.
The second round will be started
in the afternoon, and a week
from today the semi.finaIs and
finals will be held.
Players are asked to have onIy
one name on the face Of the ouaIi-
flying cards. To have more than
one name is confusing and mis-
leading. So write only your own
name on the face OF the card, and
have the signatures OF those at

the card. Unfortunately, it NAV be
necessary to throw out some cards
if the writer is unable to ascer-
tain whose score is being given.
Don't forget to get in your

Even then, Mrs. Carson had shown
some suspicion.
Aren't you going to stay at some
kind of a hotel?"
Yes, but the town IS too small for
a postman. The mail goes to the
postoffice.'
What's the name of your hotel?"
Mrs. Carson had asked, quickly.
In flash and without blinking an
eyelid, Fay had replied.
THE Brewster House, mother, it's
the same name as the town.
This had seemed to satisfy Mrs. Car
son, but Fay had hated herself for
telling a lie. AS a matter of fact,
however, Mrs. Carson had forced her
daughter into it. Fay could not have
mail addressed to Miss Fay Carson
arriving at the Poppy Inn, where she
was known as Mrs. Churchill. and she
had gone too far with her plans to be
baked at the last moment because her
mother insisted upon knowing her
destination.
Nevertheless, she hated to be forced

it bit-to tell the truth, his fingers
shook a little. But in a moment the
knot yielded, and the paper was un-
folded, revealing a chamois bag. This
also the lawyer opened, thrust his
hand within, seized the contents, and
threw them upon the desk. There lay
the Colby necklace.
Stanley stared with his mouth open.
Presently he found a cigarette and lit
it. He waited. but the lawyer said
nothing-merely kept on staring at
the jewels. Stanley was the first to
speak.
"And why. may ask" he said, did
YOU steal these jewels?"
Don't be an ass" retorted the law
yer You know who stole them as
we'll as I do
NO. I don't"
well, if you don't, then you are
the ass, not i.
Stanley reflected a moment before
he inquired, suavely, rs it possible
that you refrain from mentioning the
name Of the thief because of my long
| friendship for him?"
The lawyer did not answer. He
| seized the jewels, thrust them back
into the chamois bag, drew the run
ming cord that closed the bag. "Jim,'
he said, have you seen my son-in-law
since your return?"
! "Once"
And when was that"
ION Monday evening when L called
on Doris
"See anything unusual about him?''
~ saw that he was drunk"
That, 1 regret to say, is not un-
usual"
Forty-eight hours earlier this an
nouncement would have come as a
shock to Stanley. Now it produced no
| impression on him whatever. His mind
was busy on another tack.
Mr. Colby" he asked, has the per-
son who stole these diamonds any no.
ton as to their present whereabouts"
None whatever" replied the law
yer, promptly.
Are you Sure?'
Absolutely certain"
II am intensely curious to know
how you came by them"
Il understand your curiosity, but /
am not able to crafty it. They're in
my possession now as the result of
what a gambler would call a hunch.
Having acquired the hunch, acted on
! it and the result is here, in this little
chamois bag. 1t is true that their
! recovery was attended with some ex-
pense. / do not care for diamonds,
and / regret the expense, even If it

does not care for diamonds, either"

That's true. It's not by restoring
the diamonds to her that 1 hope to
make her happy
How them"
The lawyer hitched his chair closer
to the one in which Stanley was sit
ting. "Jim," he said, I'm going to be
frank with you. What l say will grieve
and shock you, and perhaps you will
be angry with me. Your friendship
with my son-in-law is almost proven
bal among those who know you both.
And yet you know me well. You
| know that 1 am not man to take
sudden and violent dislike to any hui
man being, nor man who forms posi-
tive conclusions upon insufficient evi-
dence."
Jim nodded, and Mr. Colby hurried
on:
Now, / am going to say things to
you that I have never said to any hui
man being. When-my daughter mar
ried L made up my mind never to in
terfere in her marriage in any way
except on her request. I have kept
that promise to myself. I have seen
| things going from bad to worse, until
now / know that the marriage is
wreck and that Doris happiness is
ruined. BY this time I understand
| thoroughly my son-in-law's character
and I know that he's a rotter. His
business, managed not only unwisely
but dishonesty, is on the verge of
smashing. He is a libertine, a liar
and a drunkard. He is also thief.
Now" and he glared defantly at Stan.
! ley. what have you got to say?"
Somewhat to his surprise Stanley
murmured only one word, Nothing"
Very well, then" continued Mr..
Colby. His public disgrace l can and
will prevent for my daughters sake.
She cannot possibly know more than
part of what I have told you. Any
affection that she once had for
him must long ago have died
yet she has done her best
to save him. But she knows
by now that she has failed. Yet not
| one syllable of complaint has passed
her lips. This cannot go on much
| longer. Some time, and the time will
not be long, she must come TO me for
comfort, as she used to do when she
was a tiny girl and had fallen down
and bumped her little nose. And
when she does" He finished with
an expressive gesture.
This time it was Stanley who
| hitched his chair nearer to the law

out interruption. When he departed
| a quarter of an hour later he carried
with him the little chamois bag.
