Of others present. She could see
that JEFF was astonished at what
she was doing. The Diamond Re
verse B manager, she observed, had
walked through the group as though
oblivious of their presence.
Ellen stopped with Terry in front
of the porch, coming swiftly to what
was in her mind.
isn't there any way, Mr.. Terry,
of stopping all this killing that is
being done?" she asked. docs it
have to go on, building up hate,
making this country an awful place
to live in?"
If he was moved by her indignant
appeal his inmobile face gave no
evidence of it.
ST think the trouble will go on, in
one way or another, until stealing
cattle is stopped" he said.
"You favor murder?" she cried.
ibid I say so?" he countered.
"You said" She cut off her own
sentence. "It doesn't matter what
you said. Your friends are hiring
murder done. Can you deny it?"
Terry had not at first believed this.
But doubts of his associates had
seeped into his thinking.
The Diamond Reverse B manager
replied to her question with another.
'Can you prove it?"
"Of course I can't" Stormy-eyed,
she pressed the attack. .'But you
know it's true. I don't know what
part you have in it, but your friends
are trying to stop theft by murder. "
ST don't know any more about it
than you do" he answered, anger
and obstinacy in his steel-blue eyes.
''If you want this trouble stopped,
go to your father and his friends. Get
them to persuade the rustlers to
move out. What do you expect? Do
you think we'll let these scoundrels
steal wholesale from us and laugh in
our faces when we take them to
court? We are going to protect our
property"
"By killing men from ambush"
mo" A dull flush of rage beat
into his face beneath the tan. "By
hanging known thieves by the neck
to trees when we have enough evil
dence. Is there anything else you
would like to know. Miss Carey?"
She stood, very erect and proud.
''No, Mr.. Terry. I know all I want
to how-about YOU" Turning, she
walked into the house.
Calhoun Terry walked back to-
ward the stage. It was IN front OF
the post-office. The horses were be-
ing brought out to hitch. He saw
JEFF Brand move forward to meet
him.
Like word with you, Mr.. Ter
ry," he said.
Terry said nothing. There is some
times a force In silence more potent
than any speech.

changed. It was her father lying
wounded, and Jack Turley was

Strangely enough, Ellen saw next
day at Black Butte all the four men
of whom she had dreamed. Terry
came up on the stage, on his way
back to the Diamond Reverse B
from Denver. Brand and Turley
dropped into the post-office shortly
after the stage had arrived. The
ranch foreman was eating dinner
at the restaurant, but after he had
finished he strolled across to the
post-ofice to wait while the fresh
horses were being hitched.

ment with respect to this.
But the modern game is more
dramatic. In the old days a three
or four-run lead was usually deei-
sive. Today it may mean little, and
the crowd knows it. Both infelders
and outfielders, especially infielders,
have to work at a far faster clip
to handle whistling drives that come
their way. The home run is still the
main crowd thrill.
I must disagree with Ty on an
other point. On his all-time all-star
team the pitchers he names are
Walsh, Alexander, Mathewson, john
son, Plank and Feller.
What about a pretty fair pitcher
by the name of Denton Tecumseh
ICY Young, the Paoli Phenom?
All Cy did was to win 512 ball
games in two major leagues. This
winning count totals more games
than the great majority of pitchers
ever pitch. They talk about pitch
ers who can win 20 ball games a
season-Cy Young averaged better
than 20 games year for more than
20 years.
about Cy Young
Young did his pitching for Cleve-
land, st. Louis and Boston, work
ing In both leagues. He came up
from Paoli, Ohio, in 1890 with hay
In his hair.
Cy, huge hulk of a fellow, had
speed, control, a fine head and a
stout heart. And you can empha-
size control and smartness. Cy
worked from 1890 through 1911 and
when he had finished he had passed
by something Like 100 winning games
of Walter Johnson's mark in second
place.
Cobb picks Ed Walsh and Eddie
Plank, both fine pitchers, but old
Cy won more games than both to-
gether.
I ran across Cy a short while
back He gave me then one of the
secrets Of his success.
''How did ever win SIP games?"
he said. Here's one reason. had
four different pitching motions that
/ made look alike. Also, I think
that was the first pitcher to cover
up the pitching motion completely.
I'd practically turn my back to the
batter and the ball would be ON him
before he was SET" he explained.
ST also made a close study" Cy
said, ''of what they wanted to hit
and what they didn't want to hit.
You don't think ! ever gave wahoo
Sam Crawford, a pull hitter, any
ball he could pull. Not a chance.
That's big part of pitching-to
know a hitter's style and to have
enough control to put the ball where
you want it to go. There are too
many pitchers today who haven't
any idea what a batter's weakness
is. Nor do they have the control to
match this weakness when they do
know-and that's almost as bad as
not knowing"

"My problem is Hazel, who insists
upon my marrying her as soon as
my divorce is granted, which will
be late in June. She has changed
completely, so that my original feel
ing for her is wholly destroyed. She
is critical, bitter, threatens a law
suit; indeed, her lawyer has been
in touch with me. Naturally, in
my notes to her In the beginning of
our affair I mention marriage, and
she proposes to take advantage of
them. She can hurt me very much
with my firm and of course with
Margaret, should she pursue this
course. Please advise me as to
any obligation may have In the
matter, and as to the best way
of handling it."
My advice to Bobby might have
been that he did have an obligation
to Hazel in the matter, or I might
have suggested that he marry no
one for awhile, having complicated
the lives of three women so thor
oughly.
Answers Own Question.
But before I had time to answer
this letter it was answered by
telegram from Bobby which ar
rived this morning.
The telegram reads: "Please dis
regard and destroy letter. Hazel
and I married last night. Bobby"
So this now loveless and stale re-
lationship has ended with wedding
after all. But weddings begin some
thing as well as end something, and
it is a grim sort of contract into
which Hazel and Bobby have en-
tered. He is paying his first wife
alimony and he will soon be paying
doubled alimony to his second wife,
seriously Gripping situation inan-
cially. If Margaret decides to join
this fascinating gentleman as his
third wife she will have to retain her
weu-paid position and contribute
substantially to the family budget.
Not Real Marriage.
Not real marriage, this sort of
thing. And women in their hearts
want real marriage. They want the
richness of that tried and tested re-
lationship that shares ups and
downs, good times and bad; that
weathers the long years, builds up
thousand memories of breakfast
table talks, nursery cares, kitchen
crises, scares and relief from
scares, emergencies, changes, and
long serene periods of happiness and
companionship.
It is foolish man or woman who
jeopardizes all this for deeting pas
sion-a deceptive time of fiattery
and delusion that all experience,
all history, all good common sense
pronounces to be just one more will
o-the-wisp. Over and over again the
victim of the married love affair
emerges sadder and wiser man or
woman. The home that once
seemed so dull appears to the di-
vorced wife a very haven of safety
and content. Her heart aches for
her children, whether she has them
with her in the chaos of wreckage,
or whether they are staying ''for
awhile with Jim's mother" The dis
covery that her new mate has hui
man faults, abruptness and selfish
ness and lack of understanding, is
a bitter blow. She has caused all
this trouble on the ground that dar-
ling Leonard was the perfect man;
it is rather fat to begin to say of
Leonard the same bored, critical
things she said so recently of Jim.
Take a look at the couples who
threw discretion to the winds and
startled their respective circles with
the revelation of a grand passion"
a few years ago, before you take
the leap.

same rating applies to Joe DiMag-
gio as hitter and outfielder.
Without attempting to rate the val
ue of Ty and Babe against Bob and
Joe, there is one department at least
where the old-timer can expand his
chest and prove his point. This IS
the matter of color.
Cobb and Ruth packed an en-
larged amount Of personality In
their playing systems. They had
flame, fare, dash. They caught and
held the fancy of the crowd.
Feller and DiMaggi0 are both on
the quiet, unobtrusive side who like
life better away from the mob. Both
are friendly, serious young men who
make their entire contribution as
star pitcher and star outfelder.
They make no claim or pretensions
to any form Of so-calied "color."
Cobb and Ruth have always been
exactly the opposite. They were
actors as well as ball players. Both
were on the exciting side. And a
big part of their crowd appeal had
no particular connection with me-
chanical skill. They had plenty Of
that.
