THE TRIPLE TIE The 'Man of Mystery' Makes Everything Clear in This Great Story Rockefeller Vice Report Shows] Trade in Women Is Established on Commercial Basis. A STORY FOR BASEBALL FANS THAT WILL INTEREST EVERY LOVER OF THE NATIONAL GAME ball mystery. Let us -to It in regu lar order. The two young persons stood In the roadway holding hands—ten minutes, one would imagine from this reading of it. but only ten seconds in reality. Ten seconds make a long time un der certain conditions. The young woman doubtless thought so, for at last she smiled again, gave the hand that held hers a healthy pumplike shake and broke the clasp. "Good-bye.” she said, and stepped quickly into the automobile, the motor of which had been softly purring all the while. The driver eased in the clutch, the car gathered headway, and as it turned in the road, the driver leaned out and said with a harsh laugh: "Get some of that* cotton seed out of your hair, young fellow, and you better go in rfljt of the wet now.” The car sped up the hill. The young man watched it without stir ring until it had disappeared in the distance. But he had noted the num ber of the car. It was "50000 Ga.” The rain ceased as suddenly as it began Walking to the entrance of the ball park, the young man tried several doors and gates without being able to gain admittance. At last he found a door that opened to his touch and, smokA issuing from the chim ney of a little within the in closure, he went to the aow.", knocked, and. after a moment's pause, entered.

By A H C. MITCHELL. CHAPTER I. I T was 10 o'clock in the morning of March 1. Low', dark clouds, driven from east to west by a brisk wind, raced over Ponce DeLeon: Park. Before the street car came io a full stop in front of the Atlanta baseball grounds a young man jump ed off the step and walked swiftly toward the park. Within three sec onds these things happened: First Without the slightest warn ing, without even a few preliminary spatters, rain poured down in sweep ing. blinding torrents, as though mil ltcyis of buckets of water on high were emptied at the same Instant. Second A terrifying scream from the throat of a woman burst in the ears of the young man. It was in stantly followed by a hoarse "Get out of the way," written here in five words, but yelled at the time in one quick command. The young man shot a startled glance over his shoulder and then, with Incredible swiftness, sprang forward. A* he did so a high-powered, under slung automobile rushed past him One inch farther and he would have been clear of the car. but the front wheel of it struck his flying heel and he was flung sprawling on the rain- soaked pavement. There was another scream. The car raced on. For a brief period the young man lav as if stunned. Then he arose and looked to see what hit him. The car was rushing up the hill on high speed and by tills time was nearly a furlong away, hardly discernible through the heavy sheets of rain. But ns the young man looked the car slowed.down and came to a stop [ lose to the sidewalk Two person# were in the car. One of them started to get out of it. but paused and then sat down again The car took mo tion. turned and coasted back to the point In front of the ball park where the young man still stood motionless The Girl Interferes. The driver gave the emergency brake a vicious jerk and glared at the young man. His heavy features were flushed and he scowled at the bedraggled figure in tlie road as ne spoke. "Why don’t you look where you're going, you boob?" he snarled. "You're not up among the pine needles now. you understand. You ought to have a colored mammy with you when His companion in the car, a young woman, reached up a hand and smothered further word*. "I'm sorry l didn’t come back alone." she said to the driver in a low tone. The young man in the road strode to tlie side of the oar and, looking the driver full in the eye, said, very quietly: “l want to say to you. sir. that I don’t know much about automobiles, but if this young lady wasn't here I’d yank you out in the street and mop up some of this rain with you. Civil talk is what 1 want from you or none at all.” The driver made a threatening ges ture and started to speak, but again the restraining hand was placed on him and he contented himself with glaring savagely at the young man in the road. The young woman arose and stepped on the running board. The driver caught her by the arm. "Don't be foolish. Mildred.” he growled. "Sit down and we’ll get away from here. You are drenched to the skin 1 must take you home in a hurry." "Wait a minute. Forrest, please. 1 can stand a little rain " the young woman replied. She shook off R.r detaining hand and. Jumping to tin ground, walked around the front of the car. stopping close i«» the young man in the road. "We av« very sorry. 1 am very sorry. Are you badly hurt?" she ask ed gently. The young man. who had not taken his eyes off the driver of the car, turned his head and looked into the glowing brown eyes of the young woman and a slight flush stole over his features. His gaze was long and earnest, as though he had never seen such eyes before in all his life. Fin ally bis mouth broke into a smile, disclosing two rows of strong, even, dazzling white teeth. The corners of bis eyes wrinkled, giving his features an expression that showed beyond question that he was blessed with the saving sense of humor. The young woman smiled, too. and when she did so the young man found his tongue. "I guess 1 was just scared." he said. "I’m not hurt in my body as near as I can make out. but my feel ings were injured when your friend spoke to me the way he did. Maybe it was my fault; 1 guess it was, I ought to have kept mv eyes open. It watf you us scream that saved me. I'm much obliged -to you.” The young woman held out her hand. "I'm right glad you are not hurt,” she said. The young man took the hand and held it. The rain heat down upon them in torrents, but neither seemed to mind it. The ride in the automo bile had loosened the hair of the young woman, but the overpowering rain had soaked through her small hat and the driving spray had plas tered the loose strands to the side of her face and neck. As she stood there she looked as though she had just been dragged from a river. Yet in spite of everything it was easy to see that she was a handsome woman. She—but this is not the time or the place to describe her. The condi tions are unfavorable. Wait. She plays a not unimportant part in this narrative and there will be plenty of opportunity later on to tell all about her. Stood Holding Hands. And what of the young man that held her hand out in the roadway in that driving rainstorm? Well, he is the central figure in the story. Strange events are involved in his career. Bui please be patient. This is not a mag azine editor's preliminary announce ment. It is the story of a great base- IlJ auw m EISEMAN BROS., Inc. i ncorporalcd 1912 REMODELING UiiderWay!
