Sally tore open Miles en-

pale pink perfumed paper within.
Mile did not know how to
spell. and her handwriting was
like a child's handwriting-large
and sprawling and hard to read.

NOu Go On With The Story.

THIS is the story Emily heard
Il shortly after she had unlocked
the shop door and put the place
to rights. Various persons stopped
in with it, each adding some
thing new.
She had met Nicky once when
she dined with Frances at the
Yacht Club; he had been sitting
alone and he got up and came
toward them slowly, stopping by
her chair.
She recalled clearly the long.
sensitive hand he rested on the
edge of the table. the dark face
and the eyes with depths in them.
The eyes had rested on her a
long moment, piercing through
her some way; she had felt sud

mysterious charm
But Frances hadn't be n

Bob OTarrell, Named Pilot of St. Louis Cardinals, Appoints sothor- on First Lieutenant.

St. Louis, Jan. S.-Bob O'Farrell, recently appointed manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, has named AL l;n Sothoron his first lieutenant as a member of the board of strategy. Sothoron was a member of last years pitching staff.
 When Rogers Hornsby. who as manager and second sacker of the Cardinals, won a pennant and world series for St. Louis, was traded to New York, his two assistants. Bill Khlifer and Otto Williams. also got the gate.
 Last season is was Sothorou who pitched the Cardinals into the lead by working a three-hit game against Pittsburgh, which he won by the score of 2-1. It was the first game he had started in four months.
 Believing that he was about through as a big league pitcher, Sothoron applied to O'Farrel for the coaching job and received the new managers O. K.

 The bout between Barney Youse- man and Joe Zotter in the 133 pound class, needed no policemen to stop it last night as it was the tamest fight of the evening. Both appeared to be afraid of each other and there was little fighting. though the fans were treated to a number of inimitable poses. Zotter got the decision, though there was little choice be- tween the two men.

TOO MUCH GOLF
Glcnna CoIlctt Attributes Failure to Win Championship to Having Gone stale

By NEA Service New York, Jan. S-- Glenn Col lett, AmeriCas most famous wo- man golfer, attributes her failure to win the 1926 championship to too much golf.
 T have decided that continuous golf over a period of F months is entirely too much for the woman player. l learned too late that l had gone stale when the big events came along.
 Tn order to be at my best next summer I have decided to abandon my winter trip to Florida, which for many years has been an annual GUS tom.
 q intend to make my home in New York during the remainder of the winter, with the exception of playing in the Nassau tournament, which I had entered prior to my de- cision not to play winter golf.'
