TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT.
"Why, er—” stammered Gordon,
“you see, anytime you are gracious
enough to allow me to see you 1
consider that a particul'4- matter."
Gordon was talking like a bashful
schoolboy now. Mildred saw his
embarrassment and bantered him for
some little time before he found him
self on an even keel once more. At
parting, she said:
“When are you coming around
again to tell me all about your bus
iness affairs as you have this even
ing?”
"Now you are having fun with me,
Miss Deery, I haven’t told you any
thing about my business affairs.”
"I know you haven’t, but you start
ed to and then changed your mind. 1
don’t believe you have any business
affairs at all. You Just wanted an
excuse to come and see me,” said
Mildred, with an adorable smile.
Gordon laughed. "You're a wizard.
I own up. I confess. I plead guilty
and throw myself on the mercy of
the court. What Is the sentence,
please?
“Let me see.” She pondered deeply.
“I think I will defer sentence until
next week. You are ordered to ap
pear before me on Monday evening
at 8 o’clock. Fail not at your peril.”
"No fear of that,” he answered
earnestly.
Gordon Kelly walked home on air
again, but with a vague feeling that
he had simply postponed the crash
that was bound to come. He be-
rated himself for his cowardice in not
telling Mildred frankly Just what was
occupying his time. He was like the
man with an aching tooth who puts
off a visit to the dentist.
When Kelly had gone. Mildred
Deery seated herself in a chair, cross
ed her hands In her lap and gazed
for a long time at nothing In par
ticular. ,
"There's something on that young
man's mind that is troubling him,
she murmured at last. “I wonder
what it Is?”
CHAPTER XIV.
A ND now came what might be
called the semi-final test for
Gordon Kelly. The big league
clubs of the North had finished their
hard training grind and were working
back home in easy stages, playing ex
hibition games in the Southern cities
on the way. Several of these big
league clubs had games scheduled
with the Atlanta team. Rain in the
past week had seriously interfered
with the training plans of Manager
Billy Smith and his team was not in
as good physical condition as he
would have liked to have had it. But
the stormy weather had prevailed
throughout the South and all the
clubs training in that territory had
suffered alike. The exhibition games
were needed by all the clubs to put
on the finishing touches, before the
championship races in the various
leagues began.
The first of the big league clubs to
put In an appearance in Atlanta was
the Boston Nationals, under the man
agement of George Stallings, a Geor
gian himself bv birth and with a
warm spot in his heart for all native
Southern ball players. Stallings
team lackey several of the ingredi
ents which go to make p ennant w * n "
ning combinations on the ball field,
so that astute manager had his eyes
peeled for any likely looking talent
that might show itself on any of the
opposing teams his club might run up
against.
Kelly’s Debut.
The Boston and Atlanta Clubs were
to play a series of three games. When
the Atlanta players went to the field
fo preliminary practice on the first day
Stallings singled out Gorden Kelly
in about ten seconds and what time
he didn’t devote to directing his own
team he put in sizing up the “phe
nomenal ball player who had never
played a game of ball."
It was to be Kelly’s debut as a ball
player in a real game. The fact had
been widely advertised. The newspa
pers printed the batting order and
Kelly’s name was in it. Bill Smith,
manager of the Atlanta team, had
decided to put him in left field and
place him fifth in the order of bat
ting. Under ordinary conditions
there would not have been more than
1,000 spectators out to see the open
ing exhibition game of the season,
but the magic name of Gordon Kelly
While on the Pacific
Coast read the
San Francisco Examiner
dFew a crowd of more than 8,000 to
Ponce DeLeon Park,
Atlanta lost that first game, 4 to 2,
but Gordon Kelly’s debut was of the
most sensational kind. His side was
retired in order In the first Inning
and he did not go to bat. nor did he
have a chance in the field, as no ball
went in his direction. In the second
inning Welchonce, who had just join
ed the Atlanta Club, led off with a
safe hit that landed over the Boston
shortstop’s head, and it was then
Kelly’s turn at bat.
A tremendous outburst of applause
greeted him as he stepped to thd
plate, as cool, apparently, as a piece
of ice. With Welchonce dancing off
first base, Bill Smith became a live
wire in the coaching box and Im
plored Kelly through his megaphoned
hands to ‘ pick out a good one, kid.”
Kelly stood calmly facing the oppos
ing pitcher, in the Anson-llke pose,
and allowed three balls to go past
him without making a move. Then
the pitcher tried to sneak over a
curve-ball for the second strike. It
was a fatal move. Kelly stepped
forward and his bat crashed into the
ball. There was a sound like that
of a shingle on mamma’s pet and the
sphere sailed far over the Boston cen-
terfielder’s head. Long before it
could be relayed back to the diamond
Kelly had circled the bases with Wel
chonce ahead of him.
Around the Bases.
With the crack of the bat pande
monium broke loose in the stands and
deafening yells followed Kelly around
the bases and across the plate. Bill
Smith ran up and patted him on the
“That's the stuff, kid; you're all
right,” and as the applause continued
to thunder from the stands, the man
ager added: “Take off your cap to
the crowd.”
Not knowing the professional ball
players' way of acknowledging ap
plause by giving the vizor a per
functory Jerk with the hand and
looking as solemn as a stage tragedi
an, Kelly bared his head completely
and bowed, and a smile that lit up
his face radiantly and showed his
rare set of teeth bespread his fea
tures. The cheers did not cease un
til Kelly had made himself as small
as possible on the players’ bench.
The next time up, in the fourth in
ning, Kelly started the uproar again
by driving a three-bagger to right,
but there were two out at the time
and he was left on third without
being able to score. In the sixth in
ning the opposing pitcher was either
afraid of him or couldn't locate the
plate and he received a base on balls.
His last chance to shine,at the bat
came in the eighth Inning. The Bos
tons had in the meantime scored four
runs, and the score was 4 to 2. Two
men were on the bases when Kelly
walked to the plate and the crowd
arose and cheered him like a con
quering hero. His response was sud
den and terrific. He drove the first
ball pitched like a rifle shot on a
line toward right field, but it went
directly at Sweeney, the Boston sec
ond baseman. That old Varhorse
was nearly knocked down by the
force of the impact of the ball, but he
clung to it and then tossed it to first,
completing a double play and retiring
the side. The stands groaned at
this piece of hard luck. That was the
last chance Atlanta had that day.
Stallings Gets Busy.
As soon as the game ended, Man
ager Stallings, of the Boston club,
sought out Manager Smith, of the
Atlanta club.
"What do you want for that fel
low?” demanded the Boston man.
"What fellow?" asked Smith in re
turn.
“You know who I mean—that mys-
terioso that never played a game of
ball before to-day. What will you
take for him?”
"Nothing doing on him, George. I'd
like to oblige you, but I can’t let that
kid go.’ 1
Stallings used all his wiles as a
baseball diplomat, but Smith wouldn’t
budge- Not satisfied to let the matter
rest there, however, Stallings sent a
telegram to the president of the Bos
ton club, James E. Gaffney, urging
him to take the first train for At
lanta on a deal of the utmost im
portance. Within thirty hours Mr.
Gaffney was in Atlanta. There en
sued a series of conferences between
Gaffney and Stallings on one hand
and President Callaway, the directors
of the Atlanta club, Messrs. A. G.
Ryan and C. T. Nunnally, and Man
ager Smith on the other. But Gaff
ney's hasty trip South was in vain.
Bill Smith wouldn't give his consent
to the transfer of Gordon Kelly to the
Boston club, in spite of the most
liberal kind of offers, and the direc
tors of the club stood by their man
ager.
Other big league clubs came to At
lanta, played their scheduled exhi
bition games and departed All of
■hem made determined efforts to se-
, nre the services of the great Gordon
Kelly. All offers were refused.

W HEN you sit down to the. gentle art of eating, how much do
you remember about the gentler arts of grace and beauty?
Oh, no, I am not insinuating that you are one of those
"gobble, gobble, git” people, or even our old friend, the Goop—do you
remember the Immortal verse:
"The Goops they lick their Angers,
The goops they use their knives;
They spill their broth on the tablecloth.
They lead such nasty lives!”
Now, how about you—do you “sit at meat” or do you dispose of
yourself as if you were a collection of arms and legs to be draped over
the linen napery and around the chair rungs? Silks and satins In the
hands of clever dressmaking artists drape well, but the human frame
doesn’t drape to any advantage; and if you have been In the habit of
twining your legs confidentially and affectionately around those of
your chair, or of weaving them in and out of the chair rungs, or of
practising steps of the toe-dance, Just gaze on the picture above and
see how very elevating you are on the level!—even when you are
looking pretty alluring “over the teacups.”
As for the statuesque poses that go on up in the open, your chin
is probably a better curve as nature chiselled It than Indented by the
coy pressure of your clasped hands. The more you lean on your
elbows the better chance the hard table has to help you to a few cubes
and hard angles, Instead of the round, dimpled surface you started
out to own.
Just sit down at table some day minus a loll or a pose or an
anatomical drape and see If the perfectly desirable “other fellow,”
who happens to be off at another table where he ckn get a fine per
spective on inartistic drapery and simple statuesqueness as well,
does not show a desire to be at the same table with your unaffected-
graceship some evening in the pleasantly immediate future!

CERTAINLY NOT.
1~\EAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am nineteen and have known
a gentleman several years my senior
for seven months. I know he likes
me, very much, but do not know
whether he is serious or not. On the
other hand, I like him as a friend
and would not care to marry him.
He calls on me about twice a month
and has taken me to places of
amusement and has treated me very
nicely in every respect. We often
sit alone for a few hours.
Under the above circumstances, is
it proper for me to allow him to kiss
me? J. H. B.
I am surprised at the question, since
you say you like him only as a friend.
Save such marks of affection for your
betrothed.
D ,Ai
MOST CERTAINLY.
\R MISS FAIRFAX:
am sixteen and in love. Some
few nights ago I saw my sweetheart
with some other girls standing on
the corner. Do you think I should
stop keeping company with him?
ANXIOUS.
Stop keeping company with him, of
course. But not because you saw him
with some other girls. A better reason
is that you are only sixteen and too
young to have a lover.
YOU WILL NEVER BE THAT.
p)EAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am seventeen, and in love with
a man of twenty-five. I consider my
self too young to acknowledge my
love for him. Will you please tell me
how to act when with him. My pa
rents think me foolish, but I shall
soon be eighteen, and then I shall
feel that I am at liberty to do as he
asks. ANXIOUS VIRIENNE.
You will never be old enough to do as
he asks, for men have always been prone
to ask the wrong thing.
You are right in this: You are too
young to tell your love. Act toward him
as you would to a good friend who never
may be anything more.
. REFUSE TO TAKE NO.
pvKAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am German, twenty-five years
of age, and in love with a girl sev
eral years my senior. I think she
loves me. and I proposed twice, but
she always says she will never marry
me because of the difference in our
ages. FRANK.
The difference in your ages is imma
terial, and if you are persistent you will
overcome her objections. So long as she
loves you you have no reason for being
discouraged
Wouldn’t Cost Much.
A solicitor called upon a profes
sional brother one day and asked his
advice upon a point of law. The law
yer whose opinion had been sought
said:
“I generally get paid for what I
know.”
The question thereupon took haif
a dollar out of his pocket, handed It
to the other, and remarked:
‘Tell me all you know, and give me
the change!”
HATE to expose my ignorance.”
Gartmore said, fondling his
brand new' golf clubs. ‘‘Say,
I don’t like to begin practicing out
at the club before all the other fel
lows who have played for ages!”
“Can't you practice at home?” in
quired Mrs. Gartmore, whose ideas of
the game were beautifully vague.
‘Oh, yes!” said Gartmore, with
heavy sarcasm. “I can make a 150-
yard drive in the living room and fol
low It with a 200-yard spurt In the
hall! Easy!"
Saying which he began to think
over the suggestion, after the manner
of men.
That night when starting to retire
Gartmore carefully put on the bed
room floor a pair of socks rolled up in
a ball and Mrs. Gartmore found him
standing over it, belligerently swing
ing his driver.
"Whatever ” she began.
"It ju9t occurred to me,” explained
Gartmore, "that there is no reason
why I can’t get the motion and swing
of a drive right here! See, you swing
the club like this—there is everything
in getting the right shoulder motion—
and then you hit and follow through!"
With a tremendous swing. Gartmore
swatted the soft ball of socks. It
flew with surprising vigor straight
out of the bed room door into the bath
room, whisking off its perilous perch
a bottle of violet water, which
crashed wholesouledly against the
bath tub and scattered glass all over
the floor.
Gartmore did not realize the extent
of this catastrophe at first, because
in letting his stroke follow through
the iron head of the driver had made
too big a curve and landed straight
against a framed watercolor of Lake
Lugano, to the great disturbance of
those sunny waters.
"Wow!” gasped Gartmore, sitting
down hurriedly on the edge of the
bed and ducking his head under the
shower of Lake Lugano and its glass
front. "I seem to have 'bit some
thing!”
He Was Amazed.
"Hit something!” exclaimed Mrs.
Gartmore, from the corner whither
she had fled. "The neighbors will
think you are trying to wreck the
house! They’ll tell all around to
morrow that you were beating me
and hammering my head against the
partition wall! And, look here, Wil
lis Gartmore! If you haven’t knocked
a great chunk out of the Oriental rug
where your iron club struck it! Do
you realize what rugs cost?”
"Aw, I’m sleepy," said Gartmore,
with tne masculine dignity that men
assume when in a tight situation be
fore the domestic bar. "Don’t make
such a fuss over a mere trifle: I’ll do
my practicing out in the yard after
this!”
"I should say you will!” Mrs. Gart-
mo're declared, thoroughly aroused to
the perils of the seemingly innocent
game of golf.
Two or three days later Gartmore
took a rubber ball of the baby’s out
into the back yard, because he could
not face the neighbors’ probable com
ments on the ball of socks. Making a
nice little mound of earth, he poised
on it the rubber ball and then sur
veyed the surroundings. Working out
the angles mentally, he so placed him
self that the ball would travel in no
direction but toward the little garage
in the rear of his lot and would do no
damage. A man certainly has a right
to make dents In his own garage if he
so chooses.
T)h, I’m going to like this game!”
Gartmore breathed, as he made a few
swings. Then he landed on the little
rubber ball.
When an amateur first hits* a puheh -
ing bag he is always amazed and
pained at the marveious rebound of
the thing smitten. His amazement,
however, is nothing compared with
Gartmore’s emotions over the antics
uf the baby’s rubber ball. That mis
sile, as he had neglected to ascertain
before hitting it, was hard instead of
soft. It hit the garage and then it
s'hot off at a tangent and darted in at
the kitchen window of the Billingses
next door.
There followed a shriek. Then the
Billingses’ cook conveyed to Gartmore
in emphatic language her opinion of
men who fire bombs through windows
and land them in the exact middles of
newly-baked custard pies. Gartmore
had no doubt about Its being custard,
because the cook carried most of It
distributed over her person. She said
she was* a hard-working girl, not ac
customed to being treated that way.
and. with eggs so high, she couldn't
imagine what Mrs. Billings would
say!
“I’m going out to the golf club,”
Gartmore defiantly told Mrs. Gart
more a few seconds later. “I cap
muss up the scenery there, because
that’s what I pay dues for!”

Jones strolled into the postoffice
to send off a telegram, but, being in

the clerk attended to the wants of an
other man who had entered the office
in front of him and was in need of a
penny stamp.
The little piece of paper was duly
handed across the counter. Then:
“Don’t you want to post a parcel?”
inquired the clerk.
"Not to-day,” came the reply .
"Then what about a few registered
envelopes or some postcards? We’ve
got a new supply just in."
"But I don’t want any!”
The man was beginning to grow
angry—a fact which made the clerk
smile sweetly.
"Well, well, well," he remarked,
"postal orders are always useful. Ho
are money orders. We can provide
them to almost any value, you know.
And, for that matter ”
But the man had gone. So the
clerk, still smiling, turned to Jones
"Sorry to have kept you waiting,

CLEVER man once said of an- 1
that he had “a great deal
ate and all of it bad.” This
remark often occurs to me when I hear
husbands jest about what they smilingly
term their “marital bondage.”
To do men Justice, when they are
really dissatisfied with the women to
whom they are married they seldom ac
knowledge this fact to other people. At
least nice men do not, though cads may.
One must confess with regret that a
woman is more prone to discuss seri
ously the faults of her husband than
that husband is to discuss his wife’s
failings—except with herself. Women
who are close friends are, I fear, some
times guilty of telling each other of the
latest indiscretions or inconsistencies of
their life-partners. A man does not
often do this—at least not as long as he
intends to live with the woman of his
choice.
Yet it must be acknowledged that he
does make fun of his wife in a good-
natured way, and pretend—always
laughingly—to be a somewhat abused
individual.
Few Henpecked.
It has been said that the man who
calls himself henpecked is the one who
has his own w r ay in his own house, while
no man who is absolutely ruled by his
wife ever acknowledges this fact. It
this statement be true, one may Infer
that there are few henpecked husbands.
Matrimony seems to be a fair target
for the Jeers of humanity. Such Jeers
are pardonable if perpetrated by one
who has never married. But If one is
happy, or unhappy, speech is rather un
necessary. One may exclaim truly: “I
were but little happy could I say how
much!” and if one finds marriage a fail
ure one certainly would prefer that the
turf should Ho smooth and undisturbed
over the grave of a burled hope.
So I say that Jokes at the expense of
one's own married experience are in poor
taste, even while acknowledging that
men—whom I like—are the chief offend
ers along these lines. Not the dissatis
fied married men—ah, no! As I have
said, they know how to be silent. But
the nice, comfortable, comparatively
contented Benedicts have a W’ay—per
haps they consider it a witty or amus
ing way—of talking of the time before
their marriage as a period when they
were care-free and happy. Yet, if a
man’s wife spoke of her girlhood, or
spinsterhood. as if she regretted it,
would her husband like it? No, he
would disapprove of it. In fact, all men
do disapprove when their wives mention
with a sigh their days Of freedom.
Sacrifice of Each.
While I agree that it is not kind or in
good form for a woman to do this, it is
in quite as good form as for a man to
do it. Really, a husband has sacrificed
no more in marrying than has his wife;
in fact, perhaps he has sacrificed less
than she. What haa she gained that he
has not gained, too? There may be for
her the greatest joy that a woman can
know—that of motherhood. (I am al
ways sorry for men when l remember
that they can not be mothers.) But a
man can be the next best thing to a
mother—and that is a father. So this
might be partial compensation to him
for relinquishing his freedom. And I
would like to remind the husband that
he does not gain his consolation prize by
physical anguish and danger, does not
go to the door of death to win it.
Perhaps men think I am a bit rabid
on this point. I hope they will forgive
me, but I hear with wearying frequency
the Jest which has as its object the poor,
downtrodden man, whose wings have
been clipped by matrimony. We all
know these jokes—In fact, we have all
probably been at one time or another
guilty of laughing at them. We have
smiled at the story of the man. who was
going abroad and who, when asked If he
intended to take his wife, replied:
"What! Take a ham sandwich to a
banquet! No!” We have, if we possess
but little appreciation of music, lis
tened amusedly to songs that have re
frains such as “My wife’s gone to the
country! Hooray! Hooray!” and “I'm a
poor old married man, so pleaso-dion’t
take me home!”
Would Protest.
But would we tolerate little jokes
with regard to wives—at least, would
the husbands smile at them? Would
they like to hear their wives uttenthem
even in a spirit of innocent (?) fun? In
imagination I can already hear some
man saying to his wife when thejfr-are
alone after a gay evening, in which
she has laughingly spoken of herself as
an "overworked and underpaid house
keeper.” or as “so busy doing the me
nial tasks of the home that she has no
time to do the big works ofl*the World”—
I can, I say, hear her husband protesting
with forced gentleness, using some <«uch
words as: “Really, Mary, if youdofind
that you have made a mistake In mar
rying a poor man, it would be pleasanter
for me if you did. not advertiw^he
fact!”
I Insist that any self-reopecting mar
ried man would thus protest were- his
wife to complain, even In fun, of" her
life with him. And one could scarcely
blame him for doing so. In the first
place, for a wife to Jest in thlsr-wacv is
not agreeable to a man’s dignity, or van
ity. and. In the second place* he Vloes
not want to feel that a woman sacri
ficed anything when she married him.
Has he not given her a comfortable
home and his society, and: does he not
lova her? Then it is in wretohedftaste
in her to speak of marriage as a.»atate
of bondage. I agree with him fully* and
I think It ip in equally poor taste when
he claims that he regrets the joys of
bachelorhood.
The world allows to a man a freedom
that is not allowed to a wife. . Mar
riage does not interfere wtth hjs coon ing
and going as he pleases But the very
nature of woman’s work in the home
makes such freedom impracticable for
her. Yet, as a girl In her father’s home,
she probably came andi went as she
pleased. So, on this point, she re
nounces more than does her husband—
though she renounces it willingly, if she
is a true woman.
He Admitted It.

cide what is the matter with my hus
band, hadn’t you better call in come
