Sandy's Courage Fails in
Effort to End Affair
| With Ramon.
CHAPTER Ga

1t was an old-fashioned
house where Sandy had
taken room, set far back
in the garden. Before it
was a magnificent old oak.
Ramon drew her to its
shadow. you're not going
to leave me like this,
Sandy?" '" B
She looked past him to the
wide bay windows, pulled down just
. little from the top. 1--WE can't talk
here. It's almost morning."
In the impenetrable darkness they
could just make out the white blur
Of each others face. He was lean

want to go. Oh, everything is ter
rible!"
He pulled her to him. II won't
let you 60. ] can't let You co.
She waited, mute and cold. His
humility laid wounds on her. She
wanted to escape,
what have / done, Sandy? Loved
you this whole year. Thought of no
one else. Longed to serve you. Isn't
this true!'
II can't help it,
"And now because Of an accident
q mere accident-you forget every
thing. Don't-please-I can't stand
1t! Oh, Sandy, / can't can't"
Suddenly he wrapped his arms desper-
etely about her and sobbed like a
boy.
She hung up her coat--the long
knitted coat Ramon had sent her.
She brushed a white speck from the
collar. She went about the room,
faint and chilled, stopping before the
bureau to arrange pins in little
hand-painted tray. She remained a
long time doing this, hearing the
break in his voice.
She shut her ears against it. Then
che felt the weight of his arms. They
book the strength from her.
Why do 1 blame him." she muir
INJURED, sinking down and staring at
the ceiling. 1--WE no right to blame
him. Oppressive-the whole affair
weighed on her heavily like his dcs-
perste arms.
1t no longer seemed romantic--a
brave and beautiful thing that she
had gone with Ramon. That girl in
The purple kimono had also gone with
him. - 4e
That girl who came to the door
with a soft, tinkling laugh to say
wickedly: "Alone, darling? Did you
send her away?" And she, Sandy,
sitting there in the machine, hearing
this
She shrank from this vision OF
berself-a rival of that insolent, Sc
ductive thing who had calmly gone
TO his house ninvited-waiting bril-
liant and certain for his coming. She
and that girl were the same.
Memory rose holly and denied this.
They were not the same! There was
that Sunday when he kneeled and
chafed her feet there was all
that sweetness Of his service when
she came stumbling to him in the
dark, without even hat or coat. The
gentleness of that time set this affair
of their apart-made it different.
How good he had been to her! she
was now glad she had kissed him
glad she had begged him not TO care
so; that she had taken his face and
said smiling: "Tm not blaming you.
No. won't"

UP!NOW
FOR WINTER
BASEBALL
Auto Licenses Provide
Necessary Data for
New Pastime.
By BESS CARROLL
,lav baseball in the winter.


It has Just been invented. Winter
Baseball. in San Antonio, where the
sunshine spends the winter.
Because they have so much sun
shine here in the wintertimc, baseball
lust had TO follow, so here is how to
play baseball with automobile licenses.
Winter baseball is somewhat 4 mix
ture of those two great national mas
culinc pastimes-bascball and poker.
And it is played with automobiles.
You don't have TO push car TO bases,
however, or shuttle them or try to
make them knock a home run when
they're out of gas. You don't even
have to own one-ninetieth of car, Tor
the first installmenD to play winter
baseball. It's like this:
PLAY FULL GAME.
Two people walk along any street
and play a full nine-inning game, US
ing auto license tags for their plays.
Each serial number has a meaning
that is a hit. walk, foul, etc. One
person keeps on calling the tags until
his side is retired, then it is the others
turn. And so on for nine innings.
Here is how to keep score:
Tag ending in two even numbers, a
that is-675-311 or 675-544.
Tag ending in two Of same number,
either odd or even. two-base hit,
that is-675-311 or 675-544.
HOME RUN RULE.
Tag with three last numbers the
same, threc-base hit. that is, 6I5-444'
Tag with last four numbers the
same, home run, that is, 615-555.
Tag with last two numbers. one
odd and one even, an out-that is
675-125, with no advance Of runners.
Tag with last two numbers ode
and even preceded by an even number,
an out, but all runners advance one
base, that is, 675-22l. Runners gel
two bases on a single or double il
last three numbers are even. Fol
example, 675-246 is a single. The run
ner on first would go to third or run
ner on second would score.
STILL MORE RULES.
A double would score a rune
from first when last two numbers arr
preceded by an even number, that is
G75-455.
Tag ending with a zero gives bast
ON balls, advancing runner on first
that is, 675-430.
A car without a license tag on tn,
rear constitutes an error-and reall,
should be reported TO the police. How
ever, it allows the batter TO TAX
first.
Cheer up, fans, and try this one.
Batter up.

BIG BUSINESSES.

It is not my purpose to give in de-
tail a statement covering all the
changes brought about by the present
administration and that have greatly
benefited the country, as that could
not be included in this brief article;
but in this connection, permit me to
inform you regarding a few Of the
most important things that have taken
place during the present year:
The Bunco de Mexico is now operat-
ing with capital of one hundred mil
lion pesos, has branch offices in all
the principal cities in the republic, and
the wonderful facilities which said
bank is giving the national and foreign
commercial and industrial institutions,
is more than surprising. The Me1i-
can army has been reduced TO % per
cent Of its regular standing and as
consequence, its personnel is now select
and the equipment greatly improved.
The same reduction in the different
state departments and their dependen-
cies has also taken place, and as re-
suit of this economical program, the
federal government has been able to
save one hundred million pesos, dur
in the past twelve months.

The recent recognition of Mexico b'
Great Britain brings about the full
diplomatic reinstatement Of Mckee

nations Of the world.

federal government will establish 400

public.
