CHAPTER XVIII


Mary Rose switched on the light

Doris note and her photograph in
the wire basket on his desk.
She stood still, for a moment,
looking around the familiar room
at the ordinary, everyday Things
that seemed precious and WONDERFUL
to her because they were his. His
brier pipe on the ash tray, his ola
coat on the rack in the corner, the
chair where he sat.
She could close her eyes and see
him in it, now-his gray eyes that
were so full of light, the clean line
of his jaw, the dark hair brushed
close to his fine head. How many
times when she had stood there

in a clipped, business-ike tone, she
had been filed with an almost
u~nbearable longing to lay her cheek
down against his head. All! but h

again, She must remember that he
belonged to Doris HING!
Mary Roses throat frightened and
throbbed as she reminded hersen
of it.. Sharp, jealous pain
Tears hung for an instant t. the
curve of her thick lashes- They
shook and fell.
Out in the lamp starred darkness,
on her slow way home, she went on
thinking Of John Manners and Doris

and he was there for keeps.
What she must do was to try to
forget hat she loved him as she
did. She must go on caring for his
office as another woman would care
for his home-keep it clean and
beautiful in it's orderliness, do her
work so well that she would be a
Joy to him, serve him as well and
as long as she could.
She nodded her head with brave
determinationy but in the darkness

unhappiness-
At the home the kitchen was

table was set with its spotless white
cloth and shining china At one
end of 1t stood a cake covered with

PARIS, Feb. 15.-With the Wills

Harris Has Odd lob

TOE HARRIS has an odd job.
He's not an outfielder nor a
firstsacker, yet he's both. His
prime forte is sloughing that old
onion, which explains his presence
in the lineup.
There are times when he is the
one best bet up there at the
plate. There are certain parks,
as in Boston, st. Louis, Cleveland,
Philadelphia and here, that he
shapes up like real outfielder.
Far from being a Joe Judge, the
veteran slugger is not dead
around that first corner by any
means. He has a real value to
the team.
Johnny Tobin, the veteran OBJ
taineI from the St. Louis Browns,
is distinctly a rightfielder and a
leadpff man at the plate. With
his legs in good condition, Tobin
should be most valuable and

Miss Wills ran away with the

Mile. Vlasto took advantage OF

The fifth game was bitterly con-
tested and went to deuce six times
and was finally won by Mile. Vlasto,
giving her a 4-to-1 lead.
1t was then that the fighting
spirit of the California girl showed

Bucky Harris is planning to get

May Keep EN- All.
IF Bucky Harris prefers to
call Joe Harris a general
utility man and pinch hitter,
he may decide to keep all the
other gardeners. This would give
him two right-hand hitters and
four southpaws for work in the
field.
Much depends upon the team
pitching needs. 1t may seem
wiser for Bucky to let an out
fielder go to retain an extra
pitcher likely to come through
later in the season. In this case,
some one of these lads will find
himself shunted elsewhere.
When it comes right down to it,
the chances of Washington's win
ming a third successive pennant
hang upon the work of the
hurlers. Analysing a bit farther,
the work of Johnson, Coveleskie,
Bush, Ruether, Ferguson and
Ogden, with Marberry, as a fin
Usher, will determine the cam
paign from a Washingtno view
point.
Outside of the box, and before
the flag goes up, the Washington
lineup is as strong today as it was
a year ago. If the pitchers come
through, the Griffs will be con-
tenders all the way, with excellent
chances of finishing first.
If the pitchers fail to deliver
all the hitting of the gardeners
and the brilliancy of the in
fielders cannot swing the team
over the line ahead of the others.
