The driver of the car Is an ar rogant fellow The girl makes him stop the machine. She gets out and Inquires If Kelly is injured. She apologizes for her companion’s brusque manner Kelly sees Mana ger Smith ani tells him he has never played a game of ball.

Cain hears Mil dred order an auto to take her guest to his hotel. He takes the driver’s place and carries Kelly out into the woods. Kelly thrashes Cain. Now go on with the story. Smith was the recipient of all sorts of pleasant jibes. Every friend or acquaintance he met had something to say about the "world beater.” The manager took everything in good part, but mentally acknowledged that ; he had overplayed himself in making j public the signing of Gordon Kelly. "1 ought to have said nothing about it,” he thought. "Now he will Just have to make good or they’ll give me the laugh all over the country. But,” he added, grimly,” that kid will make good, all right, all right.” By A H C. MITCHELL. V.pyright, 1013, by International New*. Service. TO DAY'S INSTALLMENT. "Walt till I tell you, Mr. Callaway." Interrupted the manager. "Excuse us a minute, Gordon,” he added. "1 want to say something to Mr. Callaway," and he drew the president to an In ner office, where he told him the little he had been able to learn about Kelly. When he had concluded, Callaway said: "And you signed him up on the strength of that drive that brpke the bull’s ribs?” "Yes. sir; that was enough for me." "Well, Billy, you know 1 consider you are best manager in the world. And I reckon you know what you’re doing. I will put through this con tract. out remember, Billy, you must shoulder all the responsibility. If this Gordon Kelly ’blows up’ the laugh will be on you, not me.” "I’ll take my chances on that,” said the manager, confidently. "Anyway, it will make good read ing in the newspapers. Send for the reporters, Billy, and we’ll tell ’em all about your world beater.” The reporters came, they saw, but they were not conquered. They took copious notes of all the manager told them, but they refused to "fall” for Kelly as a ballplaye r. They admired his shape and looks but demanded that they be "shown” before commit ting themselves to extravagant praise of the new man.

But Kelly was the same, quiet, good natured young man Smith had always found him to be. "He's a game dog. sure enough, ' said the manager to himself, and sat 1®fled with this disposal of the case, he began putting on his uniform. It was the day on whlyia the play ers of the Atlanta club were to re port for spring practice, and 1t was a fine day overhead. There was to be a montrf of hard grind for th men in order that they might get Into condition for the gruelling pennant race of the Southern League. Play ers of the rival clubs In New Orleans, Birmingham. Memphis, Chattanooga, Mobile, Nashville and Montgomery were supposed to report to their man agers about the same time. In other parts of the South, in Athens. Ga.. In Augusta, 1n Hot Springs. Ark., in Marlin Springs, Tex., in Tampa, Fla., and elsewhere the big league clubs the North, and the Rod Sox cham pions of the world and of the Ameri can League; the New York Giants, champions of the National League, the Chicago Cubs, the Detroit Tigers, the Athletics, of Philadelphia, th* 1 Browns, of St. Louis, the Cleveland club, the Washington club, the Pitts burg Pirates, the Cincinnati Reds, the Phillies, the Brooklyn* and the Bos ton* Braves were already training un der the watchful eyes of the big league managers. In far off California the Chicago White Sox and in Bermuda the New York Americans in charge of Frank Chance, had pitched their training camps. At about this time, too. many of the International League^ clubs Buffalo, Toronto, Providence, Mon treal, Baltimore. Newark, Jersey City and Rochester were scheduled to open their training season below the Mason ami Dixon line. Likewise the American Association clubs -St. Paul. Minneapolis, Indianapolis. Kan sas Cjty, Toledo. Columbus, Milwau kee and Louisville-' were due iu tlu South about this time for their an nual visit. All these elubs leave the "Sunny Land” richer every year by about $200,000. of which the railroads and the hotels get the lion's share and the moving picture shows, the laundries and the cigar stands what is left.

And all this earnest and ; successful effort to please her audience i left her opol, buoyant and ready to give [ the whole world of girls th* kindly ben- ' eflt of her study of how to have "a : sane mind In a healthy body." "Expression is important for charac ter as well as to aid the search after beauty,’’ said pretty Miss Gertrude, with | laughing earnestness. "I used to be afraid to smile all I wanted to for fear 1 would get those heavy lines from nostril to lip; and then suddenly I be came aware of all the hard-looking i faces one sees and the chief reason | for the hardness was down drooping, dls- | agreeable looking lips. 1 decided at once j to take a chance on the lesser evil, i and began curling my mouth up at the corners, even when l was not particu larly anxious to 'Took pleasant, please;’ ! now as a result there may bo lines I around my mouth, hut they are lines 1 of pleasantness- aren't they 0 " she added anxiously " \i*d sometimes when I am ready to feel cross my mouth keeps on smiling and 1 recover."

"You see, fresh air and exercise have trained my figure for me, so I don’t have to rely on corsets to do It.

There were shaking of hands and merry greetings Gordon Kelly met all the arrivals as fast as they came to the clubhouse. The homes of these players were scattered all over, tho country. The men had not Been each other since the last of September. Alperman was the first of the new arrivals to don his untforpi. He laced his shoes and then arose and stretch ed himself. "Gee, I wish the Southern League season was over.” he said, with a ya w n. Th|s remark caused a great laugh in the clubhouse. “Starting to 'crab' before you've touched a baseball, eh?” observed Bill Smith. "No.” returned the second baseman. "I wanted t<» get it off in> system, that's all. <’ome on. boys, let s get a mov« on." and the players, laughing and shouting like schoolboys, tan on the field and lagan their season’s work with that time-honored exercise of tossing the ball in pairs. "Not lines that stay," answered Miss Barnes. "You see, I have a few meth ods of keeping my skin in good con dition They are cold water, sunburn and tan." "Sunburn and tan" T exclaimed "I thought they were fatal to the fine tex ture of the skin." "Perhaps they are fetal to the old. worn-out outer layer they destroy. But they give the fresh new layer waiting underneath a chance, and they help give strong, firm flesh, good, healthy flesh, without which flne-textured skin is just impossible. And sunburn and tan come from plenty of sunlight and fresh air, which are the best things in the whole worldVor the health and beauty seeker. So there you are In a perfect circle, when you have added plenty of cold water and served up a fine, healthy skin on a background of strong, firm flesh that can throw off the little lines ) you make temporarily by twisting your face around into any extreme of explos ions you choose.

A good way in which to keep plants fresh without watering them when the house must be closed is to take all the plants to the cellar or some other cold place and set them in tuba, with an ordinary brick under each flower pot. Pour into the tubs just enough water to cover the bricks. It is best to place the tu *s by an east window if possible.

Girls should cultivate the habit of holding their heads with the natural poise of a flower instead of jutting for ward like a swag, or bending back with the curve of a lightning-struck tree. "And learn to design your own clothes. Make them express YOU so your personality will be a rounded whole without one jarring note." And since there t* no jarring note in Miss Barnes’ unaffected, wholesome personality, this final bit of advice fits in with the beauty study of an expert in whatever she undertakes—and is well worth following.

"Little cousin," he said with the deep tenderness of the man who finds happiness in the joy of the woman he loves, though he be shut from her very life, “there is nothing the matter with me.
