without opposition the day before.
Jerusalem itself was threatened with

"Wcll-! Then who-?"
This was q new state Of affairs.
Somebody else on the Fly's trail?
Who could It be?
"Bowen naturally supposed 1t was
you." she faltered apologetically.
YOU'D Just been saying tho thing
to do was arrest The Fly and when
the police came down on the place
Bowen jumped to the conclusion"
Tile does q good deal Of that. I'm

MARY was in no mood to resent

be after him for any one Of them.
Or It might be for some fool thing
like parking overtime. He ran. like
they all do. They don't like a
pinch, even for a minor o~ffense-it's
bad for their rackets."
Considerable wind had been taken
out Of Mary's sails by this dis.
covefy but she was mono the less
regretful that It had taken place.
The Fly was COMO and what assur.
ance had she that she could find
him again? Nothing but Bowen's
guess-and Bowen could be wrong,
a. this slip.up showed.
For q moment she felt panicky-
she was committed to so much, just
on the strength of that chance that
The Fly would show up at the track
when his horse ran her big ace. If
he were really frightened he might
stay away. Although he would
probably feel himself safe enough.
Unless the offense were a serious
one, extradition from Florida would
be more than the New York police
would trouble with.
The idea that the Fly's arrest
had been sought by Inspector Kane
occurred to her but was instantly
dismissed. In her last interview
with him he had been 81 emphati
cally dis~interested in following uI
the case, that such a decided change
In his point Of view seemed un

THE Gypsy" was made ready to
sail on Tuesday. Monday night
Mary had = telephone call from
Dirk. He had Just received her
letter, he said.
"Did you want to e me-" he
asked formally.
"Why. yes" Mary replied. Don't
you-want to see me-"
There was a short wait before he
answered. "Of course. Shall I come
over?" He was setting 4 distance
between them but then it was he
whose feelings had been injured.
They would talk it over and it
would be all right.
Mary dressed without any par.

ing now but tomorrow she would be
gone. It was a rather hollow sort
Of happiness she felt, but it was
better than not seeing Dirk at all.
When he came. he sat down be.
side her casually, but made 20 move
to touch her. Mary felt the least
bit rebuhed. He looked worried
and strained, and her heart went
out to him.
I'm sorry I left you like that
she said gently.

right"
Another silence fell.

told them that he did not wish
to be captain of the baseball

suggested Eddie for the place,
and he did it very nicely.

It just about did. In a few
hours Eddie was unquestion-
ably the happiest man who ever
lived. His one great ambition
had been realized. He had been
elected captain of the baseball
team by a unanimous vote.
Eddie tried to express his
gratitude to the star. But the
other man would have none
of it.
"You deserve it, Eddie" he
stated, don't forget it. I'm
only happy you didn't have to
cut off your arm to win it.

The kick of the yarn was

asked, that a captaincy means

were to be elected captain of

for instance, your great ambi-
tion would be realized?"
Eddie smiled. But 1t was a
wistful smile.
"A1," he returned, "you know
what that would mean to me?
I'd cut off my right arm to
get the job. You understand?
I'd willingly lose my arm for
that honor"

Brilliant Athlete

Brilliant Athlete
Eddie made the football, base
ball. and basketball teams. He
played brilliantly in all three
sports and was recognized as
one of the finest athletes the
college had ever turned out.
But, as far as his ambition was
concerned, he couldn't get the
one break. For three years they
failed to elect him to the cap
taincy of any team.
There was but one man who
stood in his way for the honor
he craved. This other chap
has been on the front pages
ever since he first stepped on
a football field. Every time he
plays, his name is on the front
pages from New York to Cali
fornia. He is the most famous
football figure since the days
of Red Grange. And, mas
much as his work in other
sports is almost as sensational,
it is small wonder that he has
inevitably won captaincies on
most teams.
Confesses His Envy
Such was the situation last
spring when it came time to
elect a captain of the baseball
team for Eddie's final year in
college. Eddie and his more
famous colleague were both
mentioned for the honor. But
everyone knew that Eddie's
chances we're simmer than
Peggy Joyce's waist. The other
man had been the captain and
was, unquestionably. the logical
choice for reelection. It would
probably be unanimous.
Shortly before the choice was
to be made, Eddie and the other
man were sitting together on
the baseball field.
CAL" said Eddie suddenly,
II shouldn't tell you this, but
don't suppose you'll mind. I
envy you."
The star looked seriously at
the other man.
"Yes," he questioned. "Why?"
Eddie shrugged his shoulders.
Well" he murmured, lever
since first came to college my
one ambition has been to be
captain of a team. I gave
sports everything I had and,
while that might not have been
very much, nobody can say that
I didn't try.
But that captaincy has never
come my way. I've watched
and I've longed for it. But I
guess it just wasn't to be-"
The famous one rubbed his
palms.
