hand picks all of them.

back hair down and be sympa-
thized with, Mark. Let's forget
that I said anything about it,
suggested Mary in answer to his
plea that she tell him her trou-
bleS.
She smiled across the table at
Mark. She didn't want him to
sympathize with her. Mark
wasn't big brother, an old FRIEND
or even a new one, she thougnt
suddenly. No, decidedly, Mark
had none of the attributes of
friend. Mark was a playboy and
a cav companion and not someone
TO use as a shoulder. Mark
couldn't understand her. He had
never known what either ambition
or work meant. He had never
known any deprivation. 1t wasn't
likely that they would ever meet
on any common ground.
For now, she was content TO
enjoy him, to enjoy the minor
luxury of what he had to offer, to
bask in the pleasures his ease and
assurance had to give her. She
didn't mean to confuse any issues.
Had she been a different type of
girl, Mary Barrett would have
found him a matrimonial prospect
beyond compare. But then. Mary
Barrett would have had to be lit
tie more scheming, and a little
less intelligent. The Mark Suth-
erlands were not marrying men;
at least they were not marrying
ambitious young working girls.
Mary had the whole thing quite
clear in her mind, and she had
neither illusions nor designs.
Having forgotten herself so far
as to have mentioned her state of
mind, she recovered quickly and
changed the subject at once.
Nor did Mark return to it until
several hours later.
It was hot and breathless in
Paris that August night. They
took a carriage and rode out to-
ward Versailles. Cloppety cIop.
The horses hooves beat musical
ly on the pavement Their voices
were low, restful. Mary forgot
that the day had been dark with
gathering , disappointment and
that she had come to feel pitifully
young and alone and helpless.
Mark took her unprOtesting
hand into his.
Since you don't want to tell me
about it, suppose I tell you what
I know"
Who's being psychic now?"
she answered with an attempt at
lightness.
Tried to fool Mark, didn' t
you?"
"Only myself, Mark"
"Then you were wrong only

Mary liked him for that.
Shall 1 tell you what I know
you've been doing?" She sighed
and said he might as well. "Then,

to all the employment agencies
that guarantee to find jobs for
American girls You've been to

Cubs Cross Up Dopesters, Take
 Series Opener
Three Homers Not Enough for Tanks to Win
 Over White Sox
(By Associated Press)

Pre-game calculations of the faithful and experts alike had con- ceded opening battle of the Cubs Giants series to the Giants; and 1t still locked that way in the first inning yesterday, when the Giants belted Davis out of the game with a two-run barrage. The Cubs then, however, called in their life-saver, Charlie Root, who held the Goth snlites down to five hits. while the Cubs opened up an 18-hit attack of their own and mauled an II to 3 victory cut of Carl Hubbeli. The win gave the Cubs two-game lead.
 Chicago's White Sox, seeking the American lead, stopped the Tanks yesterday, despite Joe DiMaggio's twcnty-sixth homer and couple of other four-basers. The St. Louis Cards called on Papa Haines, who turned up a six-hitter to defeat the Dodgers.
 Hogseth made it two in row for the Browns over the Senators, while the Athletics trampled the Tigers in the opener of a double-header, but lost the nightcap. The Red Sox topplcd the Indians, while the Reds trounced the Phillies.

Sport
 Stunts

It isn't very often that Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons lets go a thor oughbred that turns out to be big winner for someone else. The case of Seabiscuit is one of the excep- tiOnS.
 FitzSimmons was training the horse for the Wheatly stables when he came to the conclusion that Seabiscuit had bad legs and was going no place in particular. So the thoroughbred was sold to Charles S. Howard at the Saratoga Springs sales last August for some thing less than $7000
 Howard took Seabiscuit to Cali fornia and there Trainer Tommy Smith developed him into a winner. Last year Seabiscuit went to the post g times, winning nine times, placing once and showing in five races to win $28,995. Most of the money was earned in Towards col orS.
 Campaigning n California the early part of this year Seabiscuit won four out of six starts. He was beaten by a nose by Rosemont in the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap. Howard sent the 4-year-old east In his first eastern start the Brooklyn Handicap-Seabiscuit beat Aneroid in a photo finish to take first and bring his winnings for the year up to $64,00O.
 In the Brooklyn, Seabiscuit re- versed the decision Rosemont gain ed over him in California. Rose mont failed to run in the money.
 Now that Discovery has been re-. tired, the handicap division is without champion. Seabiscuit looks like a potential successor to the title and may prove his claim before the season is out. He is slated to go to the post in the $20,- GOO Butler Stakes and, with several other fair-size purses beckoning him on, Seabiscuit may run his winnings over the $100000 mark.
