emily she went inside the house.
Travers sauntered down the steps
to the roadster.
He was after all youth % years
old who never had learned any
thing except how to play and play
extensively. He was good looking.
He never had wanted anything
very badly-in his life that had
not been his.
The handsome mahogany desk at
which young Travers occasionally
sat in his fathers elegantly equipped
Offices was a newer plaything than
his other toys. He found it less in
teresting.
Nat Price and her crowd were the
boys and girls with whom he had
grown up. But it was not of Nat
Price he was thinking as he strobe
down those steps and climbed into
the bulky roadster.
1t was of a girl with wide blue
eyes and soft, shimmering hair like
golden halo. A girl in blue dress
holding a waggish puppy in her
arms.
The rush of cool air on his face
as the car moved forward was slim
ulating. Travers leaned back, en-
joying it. Suddenly he sat up with
jerk. He had made decision.
NORMA KENT emerged from
IN the revolving door of the de-
partment store, her arms loaded
with bundles. Other shoppers surged
around her.
The semi-annual first floor sale
at Lewisohn's was an eyentful occa-
sion for hundreds struggling with
the problem of expanding expenses
and limited incomes. Somehow
Norma's hat had been pushed awry
in the rush.
She Strengthened it, drew a deep
breath and started toward the car
stop. 1t was nearly $50. Chris
had gone on ahead. Probably she
was home now.
Norma boarded her car. There
were no seats and for a dozen
blocks she rode clinging to a strap,
her bundles balancing precariously.
Then some one left the car and the
girl slipped into the vacated seat.
She realized that she was tired.
AT last they reached Franklin
street. Norma got off the car,
walked slowly toward the apart
ment and up the two long flights of
stairs. She inserted her key in
the lock.
ooh, Christ" she called as the
door swung open. "Chris!"
There was no answer. Norma
looked about in surprise. Then she
saw the note on the table. 1t was
in Chris Saunders writink, haSty
scrawl.
Norma picked up the sheet of
paper. She read the first words
and uttered choking cry of dis
may.

NORMA dropped into the near
IN est chair and read the note
again slowly. Chris had written in
great haste. The words were
scrawled. There was no salutation.
The note read:
Minnie Bakers baby'S> been hurt
in an accident. I've gone to see
what I can do. Minnie's nearly
crazy. I'll telephone later. Chris"
Poor Minnie Baker! She was the
oookkeeper at the Hart Advertising
agency and of course in time of
trouble she would turn to Chris.
Why, oh, why did grief and sor-
row so often descend on those who
had already had their fill? Norma
never had seen Minnie Baker, but
had heard Chris speak often of her.
She knew Minnie's husband was in
sanitarium fighting against tu-
berculoSiS.
Chris Sanders had helped them
borrow the money to send him
there. Chris had saved Minnie's
job for her, too, though the book
keeper did not know this. Minnie
poor, struggling Minnie-was the
sort who never in the world should
have been in a business Office.
She probably would spend the
rest of her life there, a painstaking
bookkeeper but a slow one.

Two-year -old Junior had been

bookkeeper. Well, it was lucky
Minnie had such a friend as Chris
to stand by!
ATORNdA sighed, arose and put
Y away her hat and coat. She
prepared frugal meal for herself.
The bad news had depretved her
and she was not hungry.
While she was drying the dishes,
a little later the bell rang, sum-
moning her to the first door, Norma
threw down the dish towel and ran
down the stairs. She supposed it
would be word from Chris.
But it was not Chris nor was it a
telephone message which awaited
her. Instead a small boy in not
particularly clean sweater and
Knockers stood framed in the door,

Norma looked at him inquiringly.

visitor demanded.

hesitating.

twenty-five knights lay upon the Geld. Blake

ROOKIE NAMED FOR
 COAT ROLE NEAR SERIES CLIMAX
BY EDWARD w. LEWIS United Press StafY Correspondent

 St Louis. Oct 10--Every world series has its goat, and Paul Der ringer, rookie St Louis Cardinal pitcher, appears to assume that role in this case, because at crucial moments of two games he couldn't find the plate.
 As the Cards entered today's final game of the series, they could look back on two of their three defeats, and partly explain them away by giving the luckless Ken- tuckian the blame.
 If they lose the worlds cham pionship in today's climax of the series, probably all Manager Gab- by Streets second guesses will say: If Gabby hadn't used Derringer, we would have beaten the As"
 That's the sort of sport in which Derringer, coming to the series after one of the finest first year records of a young pitcher finds himself.
 Front Runner
 The big right handler in whom Gabby Street has so much confi- dence has indicated he has little confidence in himself when the breaks go against him.
 Take yesterdays game-the cru- cial sixth contest. Derringer al- most duplicated his exhibition of temperament in the opening game of the series, which was his other start in this championship battle.
 For four innings. the former In- ternational league pitcher looked even better than Grove. Grove had allowed two hits, Derringer one. He had famed three men; Grove two. Then came the. tragic fifth.
 Only two of the Athletics four runs were due to hits. Haas walk ed with the bases full. So did Simmons. and the last walk resulted in Derringers removal from the game. A veteran like Burleigh Grimes would have speeded up in such a crisis. and probably wealth cred 1t. But Derringer, nervous. mental strain.
 Tut, Tut, Paul
 He blamed Umpire Nallin after the game.
 "I had the count three and two on Haas, and the next ball was right over. How Nallin could call 1t a ball Is beyond me-" Derringer said.
 Gabby Street said before the series started that he was going to gamble this time." He meant that he had thought over last years series. and decided he had been overcautious.
 That was my first series, and I'll admit I was a bit backward at times-but not this year." he advised. Derringer was one of his gambles,
