A Duty to Look Well The Mistakes of Jennie »y hal coffman Being a Series of Chaplcrs in the Life of a Southern Girl in the Big City By Virginia T. Van De Water. rt WOMAN was runnlnc a piece of h\ pink ribbon into a dainty unrinr * waist. Her small son, aged six, st4k>d matching her. At lust he spoke out his thought— ’’Mama, why do you put ribbon In that thine?*’ "To draw It up on A.* Ktoulders and fasten it with,” wan the smiling ex planation "Wouldn’t a piece of twine do as *ntU° queried th» lad soberly. The mother paused ft moment. *on- C9aling the amusement she felt. Then she spoke gravely and frankly. "No. dear,” she said, "twine might fasten it. but it would not do as well, for It is not as pretty as ribbon.” A Real Duty. A man might have considered that re ply evidence of a feminine lack of logic. To the woman who thinks long it held a truth that It is well to con sider. When, without sacrifice of principle or duty, one can make of a practical thing also a pretty thing, it ia a mistake—almost a wrong—not to do it. The small boy, as be grew older, learned to admire the dainty, delicate touches in his mother's apparel. “My mother always looks nice." he used to say when the matter of woman’s ap pearance was discussed. I know one woman who seems to think that she does God service in look ing as plain as possible. She Is scrupu lously neat in appearance, but her men tal attitude reminds one of the small boy's question: "Wouldn’t a piece of i#ine do as well?." All the appoint ments of her home are plain and sub stantial. bought like Mrs. Primrose's wedding dress—with a thought of dura bility rather than of beauty. Hhe scorns fine china, and considers cut glass a useless folly of the rich. As to t^lid silver, why should one use it when plated ware carries the food to one's mouth Just as effectually? Of course, she has a scorn of all "modem notions." such us centerpieces, doilies and "place-plates." "Useless nuisances.” she says sententiously. I of ten wonder how her children ar going to regard the home of their childhood when they go out into the world and see the dainty accessories of dress and furnish ings which arc unknown in their family and household. Fortunately this woman is the exception, not the rule, of her sex when she declares: "It is a mark of weakness to spend time on orna mentation and convention.” Don't Look Homely! Were we all to adopt this principle through life how many hard and ugly corners there would be, corners that are now’ rounded or hidden! To look as homely an one tan ia no more a virtue than to he as frankly dis agreeable as one sometimes feels like being Few of us can be handsome, but we need not elect to he positively ugly - if we cun help it In fact to mitigate the bad points in our personal appear ance and to emphasize the good ones Is an actual duty. Perhaps some one asks to whom one owes this duty. The, answer is plain. One owes it to the world at large, but, primarily, to one's own family. Surely it Is the business of both man and woman to look as well as he and she can. It irf not always convenient to fuss over one's personal appearance when the mercury climbs up toward the hun dred mark, but when one acquires the habii of invariably looking as well as is conformable with one's other duties, one will not be satisfied to wear a dark calico wrapper instead of a dainty and equally cool negligee even for "home people” only. THE DEAREST THE TRIPLE TIE A Story for Baseball Fans That Will Interest Every Lover of the National Game SYNOPSIS. Gordon Kelly, a young North Geor gia mountaineer, comes to Atlanta to get a place with Hilly Smith's Grackers.

Man ager Smith tells the newspapers about his new find and the reporters print all sorts of "joshing'’ stories about Kelly. Now go on with the story. Tom found Jennie a little crumpled heap on the sofa. Chapter 6. A S THE MAN held Jennie tight in his arms, 7 kissing her —she at last realized his Intentions and could THEN see dearly the meaning of the dinner In the swell restaurant and the auto ride Into the country. Jen nie fought and struck the man in the face as hard as she could— whereupon the former “so polite and fatherly” MAN turned into the beast he was at heart—held her tight against the wall chok ing her When he realized there was nothing to be gained that way he tried to treat the whole thing as a joke. Jennie watched her chance and aid more THINK ING in the next few seconds than she, has ever taken the TROUBLE to do before. THE MAN told her the proprietor of the place was a friend of his and it would be of no use for her to make a scene, for she couldn’t leave the place until he got good and ready for her to leave. Then he offered her fine dresses, diamonds, any thing she wanted—so why not be a “good fellow.” THE MAN was between Jennie and the door and she saw it was useless to try and get out that way -the window opened out onto a porch and before the man could get around the table to catch her, she was through it and running up the road for her life. Hhe rah and tan, /lodging off the road into some woods. The branches tore her face and dress but she kept on till she could run no more. She sat down on an old log and listened but ould hear no one following. There she sat in her little torn dres? shaking and cry ing until she realized it was get ting dark. She wandered on through the woods and came to a farm bouse where she found an old lady who, after hearing her story, loaned her enough money for the railroad fare home. Tom came over to her house that evening after wondering all day where she could have gone and found Jennie a little crumpled heap on the front room sofa. HAL fOFFMAN. (To Be Continued.) :.

"Looks like the real thing.” acknowledged the veteran backstop. From that time on Long Tom didn’t give Kelly an easy fly to catch. He | purposely batted the ball so that if the recruit got to it at all it would i be at least a hard catch. The resull was one of the most wonderful exhi bitions of ground covering by an out- fielder ever-seen on a ball field. Final ly Smith called a halt by declaring ! morning parctlce at an end. I The players went at once to the ; clubhom«e to take off their uniforms. , stand under a phower bath and dress ! themselves for the street. The club house became a( once a very lively place. Each player was assigned a locker for uniforms, clothes and per sonal belongings. In front of these lockers wore short benches, placed there for the use of fhe players while dressing or undressing. It so happened that Long Tom Mor rissey and Gordon Kelly had adjoin ing lockers and therefore sat side bj side as they started to undress. The other players were busy with their own affairs and did r.ot notice the other two until suddenly they heard Kelly cry: "You can’t call me that, Morris sey.” All hands turned in the direction of the voice just in time to see Long Tom draw back and flap Kelly in standing up. The two men were now staning up. Their shoes were off and they were stripped to the waist. The next instant there was a furious mix- up. Benches were overturned as the tall, gaunt veteran swayed in the em brace of the tall, lithe youngster. It was all over In half a minute. At | the end of that time Morrisey lay, an 1 inert mays, in a corner of the club house, where he had fallen with a loud crash. Ball players do not interfere ! with clubhouse fights. Even a man- j ager will not Interfere. If there arc grudges to be settled, it is best to have them settled and be done with them. That is the philosophy of the club house. Players see to it that there is fair play. That is all. By KATHRYN KEY. Copyright, 1913, by the New York Even ing Journal Publishing Company.

How long was this to continue? "How much, do There was cutting tone. A little flicker of mischief lit Char lotte's eye. Why, if this was a game after all, she would play it high— spiritedly she would win. "As much as YOU have I suppose!" "You are sanguine, 1 tlupK, Frau-, loin Charlotte. Is his family as rfinch respected as Ol'RS?” Solomon ad mired a WORTHY antagonist—even though that antagonist might be his daughter! * "All’s Well.’’ Just as much,” said demure Char lotte. She dared now to raise her cye&—to look at Jacob—whose face was lit now by a smile of component parts of amusement and eagerness. "A Jew ?" “Yes." "Of course. Tell me; my child. Tell me On this much 1 must in sist.” Charlotte hesitated in lovely confusion. Tell me my child, tell your father.” Blushing, trembling radiant, and vet frightened now that her moment had come Charlotte laid her little white hands on her father's strong shoulders, and turned him gently to ward the window where Jacob stood. • There—he is there." But now Jacob's hour had come— love must have its way. All in one pulsing moment, he had crossed the room, and Charlotte was caught in hungry arms. "Charlotte—my little CharlQtte. Come." And Old Sol, beaming joyously through the rose arbor, was Love’s only confidant, as the boy and girl fled to the great out doors-mother Nature-—with their precious joy. Solomon laughed. "Magnificent! So I have worked and calculated and spent my money—for my nephew!" Frau Gudul'i lived again In one brief moment her own love dream. "And those two have made their Lover’s Lane out of their Grannie’s old Jew's Alley! Yes, it is magnifi cent!" From under the table the old Frau drew a battered little low stool. She smiled—but there was the pathos of the very old—W’hose race is nearly run in her gentle tone. "Come and sit here, Solomon, my son. Sft here as you used to in the dear long ago when you were a child—and your dear father was with me—instead of call?; Ing me from far away. What does it matter, my son, if they are happy? Not in your way, perhaps, but in hers your little Charlotte Is happy— our little Jacob and Charlotte are happy. Happy, my son. All our money could not buy a better thing than that* Cannot YOU be content?" Solomon looked out beyond the op en door—out on the rose-hung ter race where young love had come at last into its own. Perhaps It was his mother’s gentle tones, perhaps it was his daughter’s glorified face, perhaps it was the memory of Charlotte's mother—the wife who had been his | only love—three generations of lov ing women seeking the way to Solo mon's heart, and Solomon’s heart knew youth and love again. "Yes, mother dear. I am content." And In the Garden of Cupid at Neustadt Castle, and in the rose ar bor of Jew’s Lane. there was peace— for in the hearts of the royal cousins of Taunus, and in the home of the Five Frankforters, love had come In to Ills kingdom. THE END. Unexpected Result. Here is an emigration story told at a meeting recently. In a village was a youth who had got himself into such a variety of scrapes that his people thought it would be better to dispatch him to Canada, so as to get him away from old and doubtful associations. He agreed to go, provided those Interested in his departure secured him some testimonials. Half a dozen were got for him. They sang his praises in unrestrained terms, spoke of his geniality, of his good address and exceptional capability, and all the other virtues that few men have, but many get the credit for. When the young man read the testimonials he turned to his father and exclaimed: "Well, I’m hanged! T had no idea people thought so much of me. And now I know how much they like me I’m blowed if I'll go away at all.” "Call It Square.’’ No one knew what passed between the two men that led up to the en counter. After the, brief battle, Kelly replaced his overturned bench as though nothing had happened, and quickly removing the rest of his cloth ing stepped under the shower in an adjoining room. The other players went to the assistance of Long Tom, who showed signs of life about this time. They raieed the veteran to his feet. Morrissey blinked for awhile and then a grin bespread his features. His left cheek was cut and bleeding. "The kid is all right," he exclaimed heartily. "My nerve was better than my judgment, that’s all." He, too quickly pulled off his clothes and stepping out of the room, turned on the shower next the one where Kelly was standing. With the water pouring down his body in streams he reached out his hand to the young man. I apologize.

"Certainly I will," he said, with a rare smile. Kelly dressed himself rapidly and whs the first to leave the clubhouse. The others followed singly and in pairs. Long TJorn Morrissey and Bill Smith were the last to go. "Did that guy tell you he never played a game of ball?” demanded 8 lie veteran backstop of his manager, us he slipped the key of his looker m his pocket. '‘That’s what he said" replied Smith. "And never played a game of bali?” "That’s what he said.” “Billy, he’s kiddin’ you. Why, he even fights like a ball player," de clared Long Tom, with a grin.

"You’re right next to the kid and I thought on account of—" "That’?* where I want to be; right next to the kid," Long Tom broke in. "He’s my pal, Billy.” CHAPTER XH. A S Gordon Kelly hurried out of the clubhouse he asked himself this question: "Is the •ganu* worth the candle?” and on his way down town he had a chance to study the question and answer It to his own satisfaction. Within the past few hours he had, first, been more or less ridiculed in the newspapers and. second, he had engaged in a clubhouse fight with another ball player. That, he r fig- ured, was a pretty strenuous way for a novice like himself to begin a baseball career. Would every day have its bad features* as this (jay had? Would it not be best for him to quit the game right now? How about going to Manager Smith and thanking him for hi 1 * kindness, but telling him at the same time he had decided to call it all off. Greeted by Mildred. Ruminating further on the subject he came to the conclusion that the newspapers were right. The reporters were perfectly justified in refusing to laud him to the skies before he had demonstrated his ability. There was nothing really objectionable in what they had said about him. He confessed to himvelf that what tWey had published was largely true and they had written their articles in a humorous vein which was well within their rights under the circumstances. No. he had no fault to find with the newspapers. But how about that clubhouse fight? Well, that was a thing of the past. Long Tom had apologized, he had ac cepted the apology and he believed they would be friends from now on. Then why quit?* Wouldn't that make him more ridiculous than ever? Be sides he didn’t like the sound of the w ord. No, he wouldn't quit. He would stick it out—*do the beet he could and trust to luck and Providence. Glancing out of the car window at this stage of his meditations, Kelly beheld Miss Deery seated at the wheel of an automobile of which she was the sole occupant. There was a tem- | porary blockade and Kelly seized the opportunity to jump off the street cur and hurry around to where Miss Deery’s machine was* packed in with several others, waiting for the jam to clear itself. He raised his hat. "How do you do?” smiled Mildred pleasantly. "Jump in and I’ll drive you home; or. better still, come to my house and have luncheon with me.” "Us that where you are headed for?" inquired Gordon, stepping into the car and seating himself beside the young woman. ”1 don’t seem to be headed for any- $250 in Prizes for Best Solution of "The Triple Tie” \ J OU read the first nine installments of the great baseball mystery story of “The Triple Tie" and now you have a fair idea of the simplicity of the offer The Georgian makes—how you may win $100 by working out the solution of the mystery as nearly as its au thor, A.

But we’ll have to go home anyway, be cause I have to prink up a little bit," said Mildred, with an arch look. "I think you are very charming as you are," remarked Gordon. Mildrel laughed gaily. "Mr. Kelly, you told mo you lived all your life in the mountains and have only been in Atlanta a week. You are certainly learning fast. Who’s your teacher?" “You are the only girl I know in Atlanta, Miss Deery.” "As you know how to say nice things I’ll take that as a compli ment.” They were soon at the Deery res idence, and leaving him in the big. comfortable living room to amuse himself Mildred ran upstairs. Contra ry to the assertions of humorists, .she was buck again inside of ten min utes, with a complete change of cos tume, and if shwas charming be fore, she was bewitching now. Gor don offered to drive the car, and with the smiling comment that he seemed t6 have many accomplish ments for a mountaineer, Mildred ar ranged herself beside him. Ten minutes later they were at the club and seated at a table. When the waiter had taken their order, Gordon asked, seriously: "Have you ever seen a game of baseball. Miss Deery.?” * Of course I have. I’ve seen Geor gia and Tech play half a dozen times. And I saw Harvard and Yale play on the Polo Grounds, New York, too." “Which side won?" "Fve forgotten. I went with a par ty of friends, some of whom wanted Yale to win and the others wanted Harvard to win. I got all mixed up in the excitement." "Dkl you ever see a professional game of baseball here in Atlanta, at Ponce DeLeon Park? "No. I never did. Why this cross- examination. Mr. Kelly?” "I’m trying to find out your likes and dislikes, in order to avoid the dislikes." "That’s very nice of you. I rather like baseball: I’ll say that." The talk went on-. Gordon Kelly was becoming very much interested in Mildred Deery; to such an extent that he was anxious to learn what her opinions were in regard to pro fessional ball players. Yet he was afraid to ask the direct question. He hi at around the bush for a while and then changed the subject, with out getting the information he desir ed arid without suspecting why he asked the questions. To Be Continued To-morrow.
