Wait till T tell you, Mr. Callaway,” interrupted the manager. “Excuse us a minute, Gordon.” he added, ”T want to say something to Mr. Callaway,” and he drew the president to an in ner office, where lie 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 broke the bull’s ribs?” "Yes, sir; that was enough for me.” “Well, Billy, you know 1 consider you are bent manager in the world. And 1 reckon you know what you’rn doing. I will put through this con tract. out remember. Billy, you must shoulder all tlie responsibility. If this Gordon Kelly ‘blows up’ the laugh will be on you, not me.” ”1*11 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 ell about your world beater.” The reporters came, they saw, but they were not conquered. They took copious notes of all the manager to’.d them, but they refused to "fall” for Kelly as a ballplayer. They admired 'iis shape and looks but demanded that they be "shown” before commit ting IhemsWvcs to extravagant praise of tie new man. "All right, boys: I’ll show you.” de clared Bill Smith, "and. mark my wofdfeS-every reporter made a mark /f hltt notebook “mark my words A nly fellow will turn out to be a won- / <fer.” "Hope so. Billy.” replied the re porters. as they filed out of the room. They all handled the news in a fa* etious raanm r. In one of the news papers there was ths headline: “Joshed” in the Papers. A DO NTS JOINS THE CRACKERS Bill Smith Sign* a Player Who Has Never Seen a Game of Ball. Another newspaper had this head line: LEARNED BASEBALL IN CORRKSPONDENCE S< TIOOL Atlanta Club Secured a "World Beat er” Who N>vcr Played a Game of Baseball. And Use third newspaper had this to say in its headlines: COTILLION LEADER TO PLAY BASEBALL Bill Smith Lands a Handsome Young Man That Knows Everything Except the National Game. Within twenty-four hours Bifl 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 goo«i : part, but mentally acknowledged that « he had overplayed himself in making | public the signing of Gordon Kelly, i "I ought to have said nothing about it.” he thought. “Now he will just have to make good or they’ll give me j the laugh all over the country. But.” 1 he added, grimly,” that kid will make good, all right, all right.” CHAPTER X. W HAT Gordon Kelly himself thought of the "funny” sto ries printed about him in the : newspapers no one ever knew. Bill Smith eyed his “world beater” keenly when he reported In the clubhouse at i Ponce DeLeon Park early Monday < morning. 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 lsfled with this disposal of the case, he began putting «on his uniform. It was the day on which the play- j ers of the Atlanta club w'ere to re port for spring practice, and it was a fine day overhead. There was in be a month of hard grind for the 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 I parts of the South, in Athens. Ga.. in Augusta, In Hot Springs. Ark., in Marlin Springs. Tex.. In Tampa. Fla., ari'i elsewhere the big league clubs cf ; the North, and the Red Soxvcham-j 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“ Browns, of St. Louis, the Cleveland j club, the Washington club, the Pitts- | burg Pirates, the Cincinnati Reds, the! Phillies, the Brooklyn.* and the Boa- ; 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 tlvoir training season below the Mason/and Dixon line. Likewise the American Association clubs -St. Paul. Minneapolis, Indianapolis. Kan sas City, Toledo. I’olurnbus. Mil^.m kee and Louisville were due in tin South about this time for their an nual visit. All these clubs 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.

Smith and Kelly were hardly dressed in their uniforms before the players began to arrive and within half an hour there were fully a dozen of them on hand. There were “Whitey" Alperman, the old National League player, now second-baseman v>f the Atlanta club, as good as ever fielded a grounder when it was hot or muffed a liner when it was be- whiskered; Bailey, the heavy-hitting outfielder; McAllister, who wants to become an umpire; Long. Nixon, Smith, the new third-baseman; Muster and Brady, the clever pitch ers: Dobard and Kernan, infielders, and Dunn, the catcher. There were shaking of hands and nurry greetings. Gordon Kelly met all the arrivals as fast as they came to the clubhouse. The homes of these players were scattered all over the country. The men had not seen each other since tHe last of September. Alperman was the first of the new arrivals to don his uniforpi. He laced his shoes and then arose and stretch ed himself. “Gee, 1 wish the Southern League season was over,” he said, with a yawn. This 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 got it off my system, that's all. Dome on. boys, let's get a move on." and the players, laughing and shouting like schoolboys, ran on the field and began their season’s work with that time-honored exercise of tossing the ball in pairs.

She had run the gamut of emotion from the haughty little "en fant terrible" through the stranded show girl longing for the "old Kentucky home” to the mlrth^mad exponent of “Row, row', row." And all this earnest and successful effort to please her audience left her opol, buoyant and ready to give the whole world of girls the kindly ben efit 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 I would get those heavy lines from nostril to lip; and then suddenly I be came aware of all the hard-looking faces one sees—and the chief reason for the. hardness was down dnooping, dis agreeable looking lips. I decided at once to take a chance on the lesser evil, and began curling my mouth up at the corners, even when I was not particu larly anxious to ‘look pleasant, please:’ now as a result there may be lines around my mouth, but they are lines of pleasantness- aren’t they?" she added anxiously. "And sometimes when T am ready to feel cross my mouth keeps on smiling and 1 recover."

"You may safely go on smiling." 1 said with n smile of niv own: "hut bow about all the other expressions you bring in rapid succession to your face don’t they make lines"" A Brand-New One. "Not lines that stay,” answered Miss Barnes. "You see. I have a few meth ods o| keeping my skin In good con dition. They are cold water, sunburn and tan." "Sunburn and tan! 1 exclaimed. "1 thought they were fatal to the fine tex ture of the skin." “Perhaps they are fatal 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', wifciout which fine-textured skin is jfist impossible. And sunburn and tan come from plenty of sunlight and fresh air. which are the best things in tHe whole world for 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, health: 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 expres- ions you choose. “Cold water-cold water—cold wa ter!

"Now about arranging your face to the best advantage," said Miss Barnes with the earnest attention to every re tail that makes her work so pleasing and conversation with her a true de light.

"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. Life gives me almost all I want. No one can have everything. A banker’s life has not much color and passion: I would lather make music than money. But don’t think he stupidly discontented -or ungrateful for all 1 have. 1 can not say all 1 mean! There is one thing in the world—in ALL THE WORLD there Is one thing I want. For this I would give the world it*elf, if it were mine—and all the money in the world. And all life would be music, and color and passion then. And I can’t till you - I must never .speak of it to you—and you will never understand!” Outside .sunshine and btses—here renunciation of al lthe joy life must never hold. Jacob felt that he must stifle in this Htie room where hope had died. He strode to the doorway -to the gleaming terrace. The Old Story. And then slowly, swayed by a feel ing she felt must be pity. Charlotte followed him, “Jacob, perhaps I do I understand.” “Charlotte! If you do—I shall have spoken no word. In a sense it was not honorable of me—though at first I only meant to warn you, and I never thought; I should »ard you against myself. Dear little Char lotte—forget what I said!" "I cannot forget—so easily!" Char lotte’s eyes were very sofi, her little quivering lips were dangerously near, but Dame Fate had chosen capri ciously to make this a day of unfin ished climaxes, and only Frau Guda- la’3 ready wit and loving heart inter vened between the girl and a rather tragic scene, for at the particular moment when the sunny doorway framed the pretty picture she mad° as she stood looking pleadingly at a sorely^tempted Jacob, the hall door opened, admitting the Duke and Frau Gudula and her sons. Gustavus of Taunus was asking: “I may have the honor of addressing your daughter?” and Grannie saved the situation. “There is wine in the garden—if you will honor me. Char lotte, dear, will you and Jacob show Count Fehrenberg the way? Duke Gustavus, could you make up your mind to a little chat with an old woman? Would you stop here with me—alont^—fora few' minutes? I ask it as a favor.” And so Grannie pre pared to make her light for the hap piness of her children. “May I forget for a few moments that I am an old Jewess—and you a reigning Prince? I want to speak to you about Charlotte. She lost her mother many years ago—and now, at this important time of her life. 1 must try to be a mother to the child. My son Solomon, you know, some times sees only one side to a ques tion, the one he wants to see. But I havo looked at this marriage be tween you and Charlotte from many points of view have you? Do you fop the difficulties and danger?” Gustavus thought for a moment of the girl who wished him to make this marriage in order that she might be the cousin of a wealthy man in stead of a pauper Prince. The tricksy jade with her lying eyes—and for one supreme moment lie had thought per haps he and Evelyn might abdicate and face poverty together—well, she wanted monev—on with the dance called life!

I admit the dan gers in this marriage, Baroness. But they make the prospect more fas cinating—to me. After all. 1 do not want my future comfortably laid out for me with mathematical certainty! I prefer to run a litle risk! I have lived in a world that grows tired of old games—and is always ready' to learn new rules!" “But marriage is not a game,” said the old woman. To her marriage was a Sacrament. * “It may be an adventure if the consequences are not too early seen. Why, my life has ben one series of adventures When I was* a child Na poleon was shaking' the ground he marched over. One day my father’s little throne fell down. and was picked up and dropped into the Cor sican sack! 1 have known exile, and my crown has been restored to me. I have had money—and it has gone— well, perhaps. I should have had to go after it—pouf!—if your sons had not now once again lifted me upon my little throne. < Oh, you see, Baroness. 1 have had my ups and downs.” "You treat me as a plaything. What blessing can there be for a girl of my people In sharing such a life?” “When I am married, Baroness"— “Don’t call me that! It is a pre tense that does not please me,” said the old Jewera impatiently to the reigning Duke of Taunus. Gustavus exclaimed in amazementi ”A pretense! The Emperor has—” "Your Highness,” interposed the old woman, “nft Emperor can enno ble me—at my age of seventy-one. Rank is not w'orn so easily by old/ woman." Gustavus of Taunus rose to the supreme height of his manhood as, with a sudden illuminating respeot for a fineness he might have failed to glimpse in his little cousin's soul, but saw now in full splendod in the . gentle mien of the old Jewess, he T answered Frau Gudula: "I think, madame. you belong to a more an cient nobility than my own.” Then, in a little access of mis*chlef, he added: "I shall be proud to be connected with you oy marriage.” Frau Gudula had played her high est stake for Charlotte’s happiness— v and had failed! “Give your compli ments to my grandchild, Duke Gus- t tavus, and convince her with them if you can. J wash ray hands of this marriage. The matter is beyond me I pray Providence to guide and guard my little girl.” With brimming eyes that scarce could set the sunshine, Frau Gudula walked to the door bv the great arbor of pink roses and looked at the merry group sipping her beloved Meyer Amschel's bur gundy out in the garden.
