"I 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 broke the bull’s ribs'.V' "Yes. sir; that was enough for me.” "Well. Billy, you know I consider you are best manager in the world. And 1 reckon you know what you’re doing. I will put through this con tract. but 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 th« newspapers. Send for tin- reporters. Billy, and v\« ’ll tell 'em all about your world beater ” Tin- reporters came, they mw, but they were not conquered. They took copious notes of all the manager to d them, but tiny refused to '‘fall" for K. lly as a ballplayer. They admired his shape and looks but demanded that they be "shown'’ before commit ting themselves to extravagant praise of the new man.

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 public the signing of Gordon Kelly. "I 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 rijght, all right.” CHAPTER X. W HAT Gordon Kelly himself thought of the “funny" sto ring printed about him in the newspapers no one ever knew. Bill Smith eyed his "world beater" keenly when he reported in the clubhouse at 1 Ponce DeLeon Park early Monday morning. But Kelly wai 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 isfied with this disposal of the case, he began putting on his uniform. It was the day on which the play ers of the Atlanta club were to re port for spring practice, and it wai a fine day overhead. Then* was to 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 abrtut the same time. In other parts of the South, in Athens, Ga., In Augusta, in Hot Springs. Ark., tn Marlin Springs. Tex., in Tampa. Fla., and elsewhere the big league clubs r f the North, and the Red Sox cham pions of the world and of the Ameri can League the New York Giants, champions of the National League, I the Chicago Cults, the Detroit Tigers, the Athletics, of Philadelphia. tlv> Browns. of St. Louis, the Cleveland club, the Washington club, the Pitts burg Pirates, the Cincinnati Beds, the Phillies, the Rrookl.vns and the Bos ton Braves were already training un der the watchful eyes of the big league manager», 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 thi* International League clubs Buffalo, Toronto, Providence, Mon treal. Baltimore. Newark, Jersey City and Rochester -were scheduled to open their training season below the Mason and Dixon line. Likewise the American Association (dubs St. Paul. Minneapolis. Indianapolis. Kan sas City, Toledo, Columbus. Milwau kee and Louisville—were due in tht South about tills 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. Players Arrive. Smith and Kelly were hardly dressed in their uniforms before the players began to arrive and within I half an hour there were fully a dozen I of them on hand. There wer* “YVhitey” A1 perm an, the old National League player, now second-baseman V)f the Atlanta club, ns good as ovci 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: Musser and Brady, ihe clever pitch ers; Dnbard and Kernan, infielders, and Dunn, the catcher. 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 the country. Tin* 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. I 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 to get it off my system, that’s all. Come on. boys, let’s get a move on.” and the players, laughing and shouting like schoolboys, ran on the field and begun their season’s work with that time-honored exercise of tossing the ball in pairs.

TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. “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 .ill I want. No one can have everything. A banker’s life has not much color and passion; 1 would tather make music than money. But don’t think he stupidly discontented or ungrateful for all 1 have. 1 can not say all I mean! There Is one thing in the world—In ALL THE WORLD there is one thing I warn. For this I would give the world itself, ,f it were mine—and all the money in the world. And all life would be music, and color and passion then. And 1 can’t tell you—I must never speak of it to you—and you will never understand!” Outside sunshine and rises—here renunciation of al lthe joy life must never hold. Jacob felt that he must stifle in this litle 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 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 iard you against myself. Dear little Char lotte—forget what I said!” "I cannot forget—so easily!” Char lotte’s eyes were very soft, 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’s ready wit and losing 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 orely-tempted Jacob, the hall door » l>< neu, admitting the Duke and Frau Guuula 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—alone- -for a few minutes? 1 ask it as a favor.” And so Grannie pre- ! ared to make her fight 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. By LILLIAN I.AUFERTY. 4 4 O MILE and curl up your mouth corners," said merry Gertrude Barnes She had Just finished doing five character songs in character- | Istic costumes. She had run the gamut ; of emotion from the naughty little “en- I fant terrible” through the stranded show 1 girl longing for the “old Kentucky home” to the mirth-mad exponent of "Row, row. row.” And all this earnest and successful effort to please her audience i left her cool, buoyant and ready to give i 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 i laughing earnestness. "I used to be afraid to smile all 1 wanted to for fear 1 would get those heavy lines from nostril to lip; and then suddenly I be came aware of ajl the hard-looking faces one sees and the chief reason for the hardness was down drooping, 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 1 was not particu larly anxious to ’look pleasant, please:’ now as a result there may he lines around my mouth, but they are linns of pleasantness aren't they?” she added anxiously. '* \nd sometimes when 1 am ready* to feel cross my mouth keeps on smiling and I recover.” Merry good nature and kindly in terest in life happen to be among the greatest charms (if Miss Barnes' ani mated. expensive face, and very pleas ing Is the twinkle that reflects from big brown eyes to the merry dimpled cor ners of her thls-is-a-fine-old-world mouth. "You' may safely go on smiling.” I said with a smile of my own; "but how about all the other expressions*.vou 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 of keeping my skin In good con dition. They are cold water, sunburn and tan." “Sunburn and tan’" I exclaimed “I 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 wailing underneath a chance, and they help give strong, firm flesh, good, healthy flesh, without which fine-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 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, 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 expres- iofis you choose. "Cold water—cold water cold wa ter' Won't you sing its praises very earflestlv. please? And tell all the girls not t*> he afraid of tin* < harm of ex pression they may huhilge in it ail they like if they have been sunburned and tanned and cold-watered, with good massage-like splashes that tnokt the ikm atrons enough to throw oil the lit tle temporary blemishes of lines and wrinkles. “Oh, my circle is* not complete yet,” laughed the cheery star, “l have a lit tle more to say about fresh air. Go out into it all you can, and hunt and ride if you can. Riding is wonderful for (he muscles of the limbs; hunting develops the muscles of the waist—but if you can do neither, swim. Anyone can swim if she just chooses to learn how— and it is a most wonderflil, in spiring. lung filling, flesh hardening form of exercise. A "Water Baby.” “I manufactured a lot of my own healthfulness by going after it very earnestly. Being a water-baby and be ing an outdoor girl are almost equally important: they both make you healthy, and if you are wise enough to be both your changes of being a beauty increase. “You see. fresh air and exercise have trained my figure for me, so I don’t have to rely on corsets to do it. They have trained my skin for me. so I don't have to hold my face in a mask- like expression in order to avojd lines and wrinkles—so there is my basis, and then I go ahead and try to make the most of my looks, although I know perfectly well that the result is not beauty.” But on this latter bit of informa tion Miss Gertrude Barnes has a mo nopoly, for good features added to the winsome charm of a bright face and the pose of a healthy body surely de serve the title of beauty. “Now about arranging your face to the best advantage.” said Miss Barnes with the earnest attention to every de tail that makes her work so pleading and conversation with her a true de light “Of course, it is inadvisable for a girl who wishes to be accepted at face value as a lady to use any makeup on the street, for she ► sure to look conspicuous and artificial for the one all-embracing reason that without the earnest study an actress gives the sub ject the gentle art of makeup becomes a farce, instead of an art. “However, any girl can teach her eyebrows to grow in a smooth, pretty curve by brushing them at night and morning with a tiny brush: and good cream will keep the face clean as to its pores as well as on the surface: and a well-poised head adds a final touch of charm 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 is no jarring note in Miss Baines’ 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 Household Suggestions A little soap shredded into the boil er on washing day makes the clothe* t good color. an4 if you put a small piece into the starch it will make the ironing easier, and it imparts a lovely gloss to the clothe^. All the little bits of soap that are left over should be put into a jar with a little water. Place the jar in a moderate oven and leave until the soap has dissolved. This is excellent for washing flannels and woollen things. In choosing chickens, observe chief ly the length of leg. The best chick ens have short logs in proportion io the size of the body; tlie bones are small and the flesh is white. The best test of age Is found at the end of th*' breast-bone. When the bird is young, the end of the bone is soft and gela tinous. and it becomes gradually harder as the age of the bird in creases. A good way in w hich 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 tubs, 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 tubs by an east window if possible. To boil milk without fear of burl ing. put two or three tabiespoonfuls of uatei in the saucepan: let it boil rapidly for two or three minutes, add la:' milk, and It wdll not burn, how ever fierce the file may be. - - ivUlA EPiNKKA My son Solomon, you know, some- times sees only one side to a ques tion, the one he wants to see. But 1 have looked at this marriage be tween you and Charlotte from many points of view—have you? Do you see the difficulties ami 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—ancf for one supreme moment he had thought per haps he and Evelyn might abdicate aqd face poverty together—well, she wanted money—on with the dance called life! Prince of Taunus, must dance to hi.« piping—then dance mer rily an I proudly for all the world to see. He answered the earnest old Jewess lightly indeed. "Oh, I admit the dan gers in this marriage, Baroness. But they make the prospect more fas cinating—to me. After all. I 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! I have known exile, and my crown has been restored to me. I have'fliad money—and it has gone— well, perhaps, 1 should have had io 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 ana downs.” "You treat me# as a plaything. What blessing can t!%re be for aP 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 Jewess impatiently to the reigning Duke of Taunus. Gustavus exclaimed in amazement: “A pretense! The Emperor has—” "Your Highness," interposed the old woman, "no Emperor can enno ble me—at my age of seventy-one. Rank is not worn so easily by old woman.” Gustavus of Taunus rose to the supreme height of his manhood as, with a sudden illuminating respect for ji fineness he might have failed* to glimpse in his little cousin’s soul, but sjiw now in full splendod in the gentle mien of the old Jewess, ha answered Frau Gudula: "I think, madame, you belong to a more an cient nobility than my own.” Then, in a little access of misvhief, he added: "1 shall be proud to be connected with you ay marriage.” Frau Gudula had played her high est stake for Charlotte’s happiness— and had failed! “Giv.j your compli ments to my grandchild, Duke Gus tavus, and convince her with them if you can. I wash my 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 by ‘the great arbor of pink roses and looked at the merry group sipping her beloved Meyer Amsehel's bur gundy out in the garden. Well, it is not given to every woman to be the wife of a man she can worship. Poor little Charlotte. To Be Continued To-morrow.
