August 10. 1905, at s. Louis (This is the best iow-score duel be.
 tween two pitchers fought on
 August i0th)
 Connie Mack's leading Athletics, with Andy Coakley on the mound, met defeat at tho hands Of Harry Howell, Of Jimmy McAieer's tail- end Brown,
 These pitching geniuseS engaged ii a bitter scoreiess duel for nine innings. Howell caused Philadelphia to add another cipher in the tenth, but Coakicy relinquished the strug- gle in the last half, when Harry drove in the only run in this thriI- ling contest, to win his own game.
 This crucial run started in the making when Tom Jones drove hard past Monte Cross. Harry Gleason doubled past Lave Gross, sending Jones to third. Joe 6ugden flew to Harry Davis. Howell then drove deep to "Topsy" Hartsei in center, Jones easily beating the throw home.
 Stone, Murphy, and Hoffman, with two hits each, led both teams with the stick.
 NOTE: While the above is the longest leo duel between two pitch- CTS fought on this date, the f2 in- ming leg battle which Jack Scott, of the Giants, won from Wilbur Coop CT.

CHAPTER %

WHEN Janet closed the door of
her drawing room after inviting
Kelley "of the New York Office
to leave, she found that adj her
bright anticipation had fed. Her
fingers trembled a little rs she
smoothed her hair and drew on
her hat.
She regretted speaking to him
SO harshly and realized, with a lit
Tie pang, that she wasn't and never
would be an entity. Joel and she
could not be separated in the pub
lie mind. But they had separated
them already.
A divorce!
The idiots! Resentment rose
high in her and she wanted to
scream to the world to leave her
and her marriage alone. But she
would never scream because it
would do no good. For the first
time she knew the power Of public
thought and she wished that she
had never left Joel.
She opened the door and called
MT. helC0y OdCk.
"I'm sorry" she said, IT really
didn't mean to blow UP but what
you said was rather a shock.
realize, of course, that the gossip
ers would start something like
that. You'll have to think up
something for ME to say. I'm real
ly here just on a little vacation to
see my old friends and Pm going
back to the coast as quickly as I
can"
She said something like that to
the reporters herself when her
train got to New York. She tried
to say a few words to Martha
after that lady had gathered her
into her capable arms but it was
some time before she and Martha
were alone in taxicab.
Janet had to pose with "a bril-
liant smile and her jewel case
clutched in her hands on the plat
form, standing beside her luggage.
She had to smile and smile reas-
suringly and protest that she was
east only for a short time. She
had to pose writing telegram to
Joel. She had to do all the mean
ingless things that would assure
the public she was a bride torn
from the arms of her bridegroom.
And then Martha had said that
Janet looked very smart and Janet
had said that Martha looked the
same as ever. When they decided
that they would go t. Martha's
hotel for a bath and fresh clothes
and then catch an evening train
to Boston, Martha said, cts it true,
Janet? Have you left Joel?"
"Oh, Martha, not you! Surely
you don't believe it?"
II just wanted to know, Janet.
Tn glad to see that you haven't.
I didn't have very high hopes that
that marriage would last. I was
afraid it wouldn't give you enough.
I'm glad to see that it has. Now
We'll talk about something else"
mo, just a minute, Martha. I
want to say this, that my marriage

Janet otherwise. Gould never have

Cape and they arrived the next
day. They found rooms that were
cool and fragrant in a little Cape
Cod cottage with the inevitable
big blown bottles on the lawn,
hooked rugs in the halls and holly
hooks growing up to the sills of
their windows.
ST adore it," Janet said first
thing. ooh, if only Joel were
here! I can't wait to see the the
ater."
She had told Martha about buy
ing the little theater.
k The little theater was more like
a toy than an investment, Martha
told her when Leslie Carleton, the
actor-manager, had. taken them
over it and returned them to the
cottage where he insisted that they
repack Immediately and plan to re-
turn to his own cottage on the
Dunes where Mrs. Carleton had
anticipated their visit.
"But isn't it a fascinating toy!"
Janet had retorted.
It was a fascinating toy. And
a money making one. For the rec
ords showed that it had established
a reputation on the Cape and resi-
dents were f1ocking in from neigh
boring colonies and filing it to
capacity every night.
It was called The Red Barn for
a good reason. It had been a ca
pacious old barn before the first
owners had taken it over and con-
verified it into a theater by putting
in tiers of quaint boxes and a GAL
lery with Sunday school benches
painted maple color and covered
with hard cushions upholstered in
bright turkey red.
Old ships lanterns lined the
walls and the curtains of the not
very-big stage had been painted
with wood block figures in keep
ing with the style Of the quaint
background.
Inc stage was small but the
mechanical equipment was supe-
r1or to what might have been ex-
pected of an experimental theater
so was the entertainment. The
year that Joel bought the theater
was the one that the little theaters

i if not in the errnines and diamonds
that she was later to associate
with a New York audience.
She sat there in a corner box
and thought: This is ours!
She was enchanted.
She adored Grannis and had it
not been for the one small thing
that Joel was so far away from:
her, she would have felt that the
weeks she spent in the little New
England village were the happiest
she had ever known.
Life there was keyed to the
tempo that had been part of her
abandoned dream. She lay in her
narrow, little white bed in the
early morning and absorbed all the
quiet comfort of normal life about
her. She could smell the coffee

breakfast room and hear her as.

some lettuce in the garden where
he was working.
From across the hall bits of con-
versation between the small three
year-old Mary and her nursemaid
fell on Janet's delighted ears.
The r1ursemaid was the only lux
ury the Carleton household could
afford and she was a necessity.
Mary Carleton was the wardrobe
mistress and scenic designer of the
theater. That meant that she Sc
lected the costumes the stock cast

wardrobes. Also that she borrowed
everything from wicker furniture
to Grecian pillars from the all-too-
willing members of the colony
when such things were needed to
complete the scenic effects.
Her jobs took a lot of her time
but, somewhere in between, she
found time to knit a sweater for
Leslie, to cook delicacies for her
FAMILY and guests, to keep the lit
Tie cottage spick and span and to
make sure that there were no
weeds in the garden. Summer was
ner heaven. In the autumn when
the colonists had gone and the
tneater was closed, she would go
back to her family in Boston and
wait until Leslie got a job in New
York-if he got one.
Janet knew all that. Knew all
the uncertainties of Mary Garlic
tons life yet Mary surprised her
when looking up from drying the
wet little body of the active young
Mary, she found Janet looking
down at her with tears in her
eyes.
"But Janet!" she said and sat
back on her heels.
II think I'm getting hay fever,
