TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT.
“What’s the use?" declared Bill
Smith “We've Rot a pretty good hall
club here in Atlanta and stand a
good chance of winning the Southern
League pennant. This kid will win a
lot of ball names for us. and I'm go
ing to hang on to him "
Thus, It seemed. Gordon Kelly was
bound to be a fixture in Atlanta, but
Boon after Smith delivered his ulti
matum things happened that altered
the aspect of the situation, and there
came a complete change in the life of
the young man who had created such
a profound sensation In the baseball
world, all ending in a climax that
bad no parallel In the history of the
national game.
Still in Ignorance.
It is not the purpose of this narra
tive to chronicle in detail every base
ball move of Gordon Kelly in the
days that followed his sensational
debut. He continued his phenomenal
work in the exhibition games and the
interest in him increased by heaps
and bounds. An enterprising cigar
manufacturer put o brand of cigars
on the market named after him. He
could have been elected Mayor of the
city if there had been an election and
he had consented to run for the of
fice. A community will stop at noth
ing in connection with a baseball
idol.
Nor is it the intention to chronicle
here all that took place between Gor
don Kelly and Mildred Deery. That
young woman remained in blissful
Ignorance of the young man’s occupa
tion. He could not summon up
enough courage to toll her. Mildred
was at that particular age in a young
woman’s career when she had no in
clination to read the newspapers.
The news of the day for her con
sisted of the social activities of lior
friends. Baseball was about the last
thing In the world that she and her
friends would care to talk about. As
far as her father was concerned, his
newspaper reading was confined al
most wholly to the financial pages,
with Just enough general news to
kd»p him informed on the topics of
th^ilay. He passed over the sporting
pages of the newspapers without even
glancing at them. He was so en
grossed in his business affairs that
he had no time for play. And so it
was that no member of the Deery
family knew of Gordon Kelly’s con
nection with baseball.
But the family were soon to know
and the knowledge of it. or rather
the circumstance connected with it.
came as a distinct shock to at least
one member of the household.
CHAPTER XV.
W HO will ever forget the base
ball excitement, strife and
tumult that seethed and ed

of Gordon Kelly in the ten dtiys fol

, Atlanta, Ga.
Atlanta became for the moment the
renter of the baseball map, the foun
tain head of the baseball universe.
Three days after the pennant race
began half a score and more of big
league scouts the flnetooth combs
of baseball .started for Atlanta by
; ■ fastest t rains. These met) * ere
employed by the clubs of New York.
Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, St.
Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pitts
burg, and so on, to rake the country
from end to end In search of base
ball talent to strengthen the clubs of
their employers, for a big league club
must never stand still; it must be
constantly looking for new material
to take the places of the men who
have outlived their usefulness. Base
ball goes at top speed all the time.
There must be no laggards. Those
whose baseball lamps have burned
out must step aside and make way
for new and fresh-filled baseball
lamps.
The reason for the sudden appear
ance In Atlanta of these baseball
scouts was because Gordon Kelly had
“broken up” the first thre champion
ship games of ball with his bat —
won them, in other words, with his
piece of ash—as well as saved a game
by one of the most sensational catch
es ever seen on a hail field. Every
thing that had been said and printed
about him was true. He was m phe
nomenal hall player. There was not
the slightest question about it. The
magnate who had pooh-poohed his
ability suddenly woke up to the fact
that down in Atlanta was a baseball
marvel who must ho secured by his
club at any ctyBt. He was only one
of a dozen other big league club own
ers who came to the same opinion
at the same time. Hence the iliilry-
ing of their scouts to Atlanta to
make terms for this world-beater.
Too Big for Scouts.
The usual mode of procedure for a
baseball scout is to approach a town
in gumshoes. He endeavors to con
ceal his presence, and, figuratively
putting on false whiskers, he sits in
the grandstand and leisurely sizes up
the man he wants. If such a one
as this came into Atlanta at tVio time
of which wo write, he was quickly
smoked out. It was no time for mys
terious baseball diplomacy. It was
a case of acting quickly or lose out
to a rival club.
But the scouts found out immedi
ately that the matter was altogether
too big for them to handle. They
reached the limit they felt empowered
to offer for Gordon Kelly almost in
' u lr ftrat bPttth. Rill Smith laughed
raucously at them singly, in pairs, and
en masse.
“Why, you pikers,” he said with a
snort, •Gaffney and Stallings, of the
poor old tail-end Boston Nationals,
offered more than you fellow* want
to cough up for the kid three weeks
ago.”
“Name your price, then,” shouted
the scouts in chorus.
Bill Smith waved his .h4,b^ ttirily.
“The kid is not fdr sale,” he Said.
As though working in unison (whiclj
they were not), the Bcouts rushed *'t'o
the nearest telegraph office and'wifevf

club owners, detailing the facts. In,
the case and Imploring ttysm

I T is evident from the novels of the
eighteenth century that, ln their day,
when a man was courting a girl, she
when a man wascourtlng a girl, she
was supposed to be a shy, timid and re
tiring maiden, shrinking from him,
dreading his approach and evading his
presence whenever it was possible for
her to do so. After marriage she be
came a clinging vine, and the man n
sturdy oak.
It is not necessary at this stage of
the world’s history **11 attention to
the fact that few wives are now of
the helpless variety, and that the sturdy-
oak-and-vine fiction is quite out of fash
ion. Even without Bernard Shaw’s sa
tires we could not fail to note that
modern gii^s are not the shrinking white
rabbits of the periods of Giarissa Mar
lowe and Pamela.
What Must He Think?
Yet even now, in this day when wom
an looks man squarely in the eyes and
meets him on a common ground, there
is among some wives a strange idea
that they Increase their worth ln the
estimation of their husbands if they are
chary of their caresses and niggardly
in their expressions of affection.
“One should not let a husband he too
sure of one,” asserted a matron. “I
would never think of offering to kiss
James unless he first kissed me, nor
would I say to him outright. 'I love
you,’ unless he asked me if I still loved
him. It is to keep a man in some doubt
as to his wife’s real sentiment toward
him.” ^
Yet she had been married for five
years! I could not help wondering what
a man must think of the woman who
would live with him as his wife for
a half-decade and of whom he could
not yet say assuredly: .“She loves me!”
Must he not consider her either very
shallow In heart or very coarse ln na
ture? If one were not sure that one
loved a man, and were not willing to
have him equally sure that one did,
one would hardly wish to marry him.
If, after marriage, an awful awak
ening comes, and a woman finds that
she does rtot' care for her husband or
that he is not the man she believed
him to be, then, as the die is cast, she
must stand by her agreement—unless
the man’s character be so evil as to
justify her in leaving him. Such a union
means misery, and it takes all of a de
cent woman’s courage and ingenuity to
keep the world from guessing how
wretched she is.
It’s a Poor Rule.
But if a woman is married to a good,
kind, considerate husband, and loves
him as she should love him to become
his wife, why not tell him that she
does? Would she not want him to tell
her of his affection—and is it not a
poor rule that does not work both ways
ln this day when Pamela and Clarissa
Harlowe are fashionable no longer?
1 once heard an able sermon on the
two words: “Say so!” The preacher
claimed that if there is a worthy sen
timent—such as gratitude, friendship,
appreciation, love—which w T e feel toward
a fellow-being, it is our duty to “say
so.” Many of us mention the uncom
fortable or disagreeable sentiments that
come into our hearts and minds—then
why not mention the pleasant ones to
those who have a right to know them?
This principle holds good ln all hu
man intercourse. The mother who re
proves a child for wrongdoing should
surely sometimes notice his efforts to
ward improvement; the employer who
condemns a lack of interest on the part
of his employee should not feel that he
must rept.^i‘4£fl#
for faithful duty.- 1'*tp xot ‘tirt-y that
one need go out of one’s w«-y land
praise at all times; bii.f’ tvJ5en the. feel
ing of gratitude ,or of appreciation is
so strong that the expression of it leaps
to the lips, why not let it pass those-
lips? And if in other relationships be
sides marriage this scheme holds good,
surely between husband and wife it
should not be ignored.
Some of us remember some verses
written years ago that told of the
hard-working and conscientious wife of
a farmer who never thought It worih
while to mention to his life partner
that he appreciated her nor that he fell
any affection for her. But when tha
poor woman, worn out and old from
years of unremitting toil, lay dying,
the husband crept to the side of her
bed and w'hlspercd in her ea’r, “I love
you.” At the strange words the heavy
lids lifted and an expression, of aston
ishment leaped into the sunken eyes.
Then the stiffening lips movaA. “Why
didn’t you tell me so before?” they
whispered.
Why, Indeed? Marriage takes all the
loves that one can muster coupled with
strong philosophy and common sense to
make it a success. If the love is there,
for pity’s sake why not say so? Why
should any woman hesitate to tell the
man who has chosen her and whom she
has chosen out of all the world tha*
she does love him? Why should she
hesitate to attest by word and deed
that he Is dear to her?
The man who does not like to be
petted and made much of by one he
loves is a rare specimen. Bald one
husband in speaking of his wife:
“When, as I sit reading, she passea
her hand, over my hair, or when she,
of her own accord, lifts her faoe to me
for a kiss, it means' more to me than
if she were to allow me to talk out my
devotion to her for hours at a time.”
Why Not Say So!
Of course it does. In this rushing
age of ours we make too little of the
love-truths we might speak. The words
are lies and travesties of the spirit is
not hack of them; but, if it Is—say so!
If I would utter a word of warning
to* any young wife It would be to
urge her not to be forever wondering
is she is as much In love as she onoe
was, If she loves her husband as much
as he loves her. if he and she are grow
ing closer together or drifting apart.
Self-analysis in marriage Is fatal.
One 'of Locke’s heroines gives to an
unhappy woman a bit of advice that It
would be well for all -wives to remem
ber:
“Love your husband, dear; it is the
orrly thing I can say to help you. Then
all the troubles will go. To love & man
vehemently, they say, it is woman’s
greatest curse. It isn’t; it Is the great
est blessing of God on her.”
No Second Chance.
There was a slightly angry gleam in
Dr. Pope’s eye as he walked into the
lecture room, where about forty young
women were assembled, undergoing a
course of instruction for nursing.
At great length the learned doctor had
expounded the Imaginary illness of an
imaginary patient, when he suddenly
paused to ask a few questions of his
listeners.
“Now, Miss Denny, in such a case as
I have mentioned, how much morphine,”
he inquired, “should be administered
to the sufferer?”
“Eight grains,” responded the girl.
The doctor, beyond raising one eye
brow, made no comment, and continued
asking other members of the class ques
tions.
But suddenly a horrible realization
flashed upon the girl.
“Doctor,” she said, “I wish to cor
rect the answer I made a moment ago.
I should have said that one-eighth of a
grain instead of eight grains.”
“Too late!” sternly remarked the doc
tor. “The man’s dead!”
