Then Marjorie looked calmly
at Evan Brewer and answered in
a clear voice:
Evan, l do appreciate your
kindness and your thought for
me, and I feel sorry that l had
to be so uncertain in the past
when you talked to me about
these things. But now that I am
home again I have thought it all
over and made my decision. Ev-
an, am not going to marry you
either now or at any other time.
l am quite sure that do not love
you as woman ought to love a
man she marries."
Evan Brewer looked at her
steadily, calmly, and slowly put
the ring back in its box and the
box away in his pocket.
Very WE'LL" he said quietly,
determinedly, IF you haven't
come 10 your senses yet 1 can
wait, of course, till you do"
So presently he took his leave.
Finally there came letter
from Gideon and her heart leap
ed up to welcome it singing lit
tie song even before she opened
it. 1t wasn't a long letter. 1t was
mostly about his work and the
questions she had asked, and
some books he was sending. But
it did say how much they missed
her.
The next day Gideon sent
flowers. They were crimson ros-
es, deep and dark. She buried
her face in their sweetness and
closed her eyes as she carried
them upstairs to her own pri-
vate sanctum. She did not want
them out of her sight.
And then the week was up.
Marjorie arose with a feeling
that great things might happen
today. Would her mother write
at once, or wasn't the week long
enough for them to decide? She
had decided. She was only wait
ing for their word. Would the
morning mail bring her answer?
But it came sooner than that.

After breakfast she went from
room to room and tried to take
up the thread of life. For this
one week at least she was COM

about leaving her home. But that
did not include Evan Brewer. n
the afternoon she wrote a note
to him.

The time passed very quickly

SIXTEENTH INSTALLMENT
Synopsis

When the wealthy foster pa
rents of Marjorie Wetherill both
die she finds letter telling that
she has a twin sister, that she
was adopted when her own pa
rents couldn't afford to support
both Of them and that her real
name is Dorothy Gay. Alone in
the world, but with a fortune of
her own, she considers looking
up her own family whom she has
never seen. A neighbor, Evan
Brewer, tries to argue her out OF
1t and tells her he loves her and
asks her to marry him She pro-
misses to think it over but decides
first to see her family. She goes
to their address, finds that they
are destitute and gradually per-
suades them to accept things they
need. When the doctor calls to
see her mother she notices that
he seems particularly interested
in her sister. Marjorie goes to
church in Brentwood, where her
family used to live, and becomes
very much interested in the
young minister there. While at
Brentwood she sees the home
her family owned, buys it back
for them and gives the deed to it
to her father on Christmas morn
ing. The whole family is very
joyful. Then, through Marjorie's
efforts, her father gets a good
job. Meanwhile, Marjorie plans
to visit Chicago and Gideon Rae
yer, the young minister, plans
to go part way on the train with
her.

But the next day wasn't half
long enough, and sped away so
fast they were aghast. Marjorie
was here and there and every
where, with her mother and the
children, and everybody restless
because the time was getting
shorter. How they were going to
miss her, the daughter who had
only known them a few short
days!
Finally Marjorie and Gideon
were seated in the train as it
moved off, waving to the father
and Ted. Then the train swept
out of the station and they were
alone.

Pills Prexy Suggests
Shaughnessy Plan
For Big Leagues
Connie Mack Outspoken
Against Any Change
In World Series
BY TED MEIER,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov Gerry
Nugent, president Of the Phils, came
up today with counter-proposal to
Larry McPhail's plan to supplant
the World Series with post-season
games between American and Ma
tional League baseball clubs accord
inc to their final standings.
1t was: Why not adopt the
Shaughnessey playoff system. with
the winners of the final playo1
meeting in World Series.
Connie Mack gave the idea as
frigid a reception as he had the sug-
gestion of McPhail, executive vice
president of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Its all right for the minors, but
1t won't do for the majors" COM
mented the 76-year- old leader of the
Philadelphia Athletics. III never
agree to anything but the first-place
flnishers playing in the World Series.
I disagree with any kind of playoffs. -
Nugent said:
"McPhail's plan is all wet COM
pared to the results that have been
attained by the Shaughnessey play
offs in the minor leagues" Nugent
continued. why not start the reg
ular season April Is and end it on
September IS or 20? The final two
weeks of September always are
washouts at the gate except for the
pennant contenders.
THE Shaughnessey playoffs would
stimulate interest at this time and
keep the fans popped up for the
World Series. With any of four
clubs in each league likely to win
the title and qualify for the World
Series, interest among the players
as we'll as the fans never would die
Under the Shaughnessey system,
the team finishing first in the reg
ular season plays best three-of-
five series with the third-place club.
The team finishing second meets the
fourth-place club in a similar series.
The winners then meet in the best
of-seven series.
Nugent said that under the
Shaugtnessey system the Yankees
who slaughtered Cincinnati in the
World Series last month, might have
been eliminated by the Boston Red
Sox.
Maybe he has something there.

to lose.
At this stage of the season, when

haven't dared to use before lest
something go awry. -.

ference clashes.
Old Rivals Should Excite.

possibility. Neither Of these elevens
has been any great shakes in win
ming games this season. Their ira
ditional meeting should provide,
however, an exciting demonstra-
ton of gridiron wiles.
Coach H. E. Clark has pointed the
SeWanee Tigers for this fray. Coach
Ray Morrison, with Tennessee and
Alabama still on his Vanderbilt
schedule, isn't taking Sewanee too
much for granted.

yelled before spectators at the Geor-
