about the room, swinging her
shoulders with abandoned hi

something. I'm not a very careful
letter reader"
She turned her back, quietly tore
the envelopes off Murillo's letters.
She knew exactly what happened.
And 1t was there. He had written
very completely. He had reserved
passage for them. His orders were
in those unopened letters. What a
magnificent joke!
Mrs. Mcneil stroked her soft dou-
BILE chin. She was sick with ner-
Vousness.
Sandy said breezily: ooh, it's no
calamity. Isabella. He can wait a

After all, mother, what is IT
that makes a man your husband?
Did you ever stop to consider this?

didn't he, in his last letter."
Sandy's blood ran through her
body, but she didn't answer.
She went out of the hotel and
went for a ride with Ramon Worth.
After he brought her back to the
hotel she sat on the veranda.
- DAY or two after this he was
al walking with her down the
avenue. They were caught
in a shower. She pulled her sweater
UP quickly. Letters dropped from
it's pocket.
He stopped to pick them up,
brushing off the water. They were
unopened. They were the same let
ters she had received a week ago,
the envelopes twisted. Murillo's
name was written plainly in the
corner.
She knew that he saw this-that
he remembered. Her breath caught
painfully.
He pretended to notice nothing.
AS she came into the lobby late
in the afternoon, Mrs. Mcneil was
waiting Her placid face was struck
with annoyance.
She said: "Sandy-how is this?
why didn't you tell me?" She put
a telegram in Sandy's hands. 1t was
from Murillo.

beautiful and said so.

Sandy said quietly: Yes" She
thought: NOW he knows all about

I After a while they brought the
baby to her. She saw tears in the
nurses eyes.
She pleaded; she said eagerly: "It
doesn't move. 1t doesn't cry. Is
it alive?"
"Yes-it's alive
TITS not going to die? Do you
mean it is not going to live?"
I'VE hope it is going to live"
Sandy put her hands over her
face. 1T must live-it's got to
live"
But the baby died.
7T was three months since
they had taken her home
! from the hospital. Murillo
insisted that they must begin over
again, but he still was repulsive TO
her. She could not forget what he
had said about not wanting her.
Time went on. She was so alone.
No one but her mother and her
sister and her uncle Bob came to
see her.
After she had been home four
months she suggested to Murillo
that she would like to get out on
the ocean.
We'll. I'll see about it," he said.

said. He sent doctor, who advised

they arrived in Hawaii. She re-

BAN 5 LOOP NOT
CELEBRATING

with the National League cele-
brating its golden jubilee year
with one celebration after another,
it Is surprising that the American
League let the first quarter cen
fury of It's existence pass without
any recognition.
The season Of 1925. the golden
Jubilee" year Sc the National, also
was the Silver anniversary" OF the
American. The American League
started in 1900 with clubs in Chi
cago, Cleveland, Detroit, Kansas
City. Milwaukee, Buffalo, Indianap-
oils and Toledo. 1t was an Offshoot
of the old Western League. and its
first battle was in putting a SECOND
club in Chicago and taking up the
vacated National League territory
in Cleveland and Detroit.
The American League became
real big league timber in 1901, when
It launched its raids on National
League players, and invaded the East
with clubs in Philadelphia, Boston,
Washington and Baltimore. The
season of 1925, therefore, was the
real 25th anniversasy of the Ameri-
can League az a big league organi-
zation.
The American Association, which
took up such territory as was va
Gated by the American League in
1901, will celebrate its 18th birthday
during the coming year and tntends
to have q series of celebrations
similar to those which were held In
the National League last year.

And just to make it more so. l
am going to say that, to my way
of thinking, Jack Dempsey is the
greatest heavyweight of all time.
How's that for mixing the soup?
"And here is the way / figure
it: Dempsey carries too many
guns for Corbett, and Corbett
didn't have enough to stop him
with. Fitz might have got over
a lucky one, but Dempsey can take
it, don't forget. Choynski, no.
johnson was great, but / would
take the Dempsey end, and didn't
Jeff want to quit to Corbett :?
Dempsey is too fast and hits too
hard for Jeff, though that would
have been the best. Jeff wore

Seek Popular Date
For British Open
Golf Tourney

It SENS to be the general
opinion in professional golf cir
cles that a July date will be
chosen for the British national
opne championship to be held
at the Scioto Country Club.
At the same time there is a
feeling of resentment over the
attitude of the British authori-
ties in completely disregarding
the wishes of the golfers in
this country. When w. C.
Fownes, jr., the u. S. G. A..
president, goes abroad with the
Walker cup team he would
make popular move by taking
up with st. Andrews this open
championship date question. If
the British would hold the event
early in June it would be more
satisfactory to the professionals
Of both countries.
