MONDAY. MARCH 16. %-~Me DAY OF April 80 Day. i| [l4 PROLOGUE. • '*lt breaks the speed limit to mmithereens. " * That's a candid opinion about this story . There may have been swifter tales, bat not re cently. It's an aeroplane of a yarn, moving so fast that you lose your breath while you fol low it. But you don't need any breath, anyway, because you for get about respiration with your eyes on reading of this kind. Every man has his day of days. Yours may have come and you may be swimming in the full tide of fortune. If so, read how P. Sybarite found his. If your own ship is still in the offing, you will enjoy learning how the little spunky red headed bookkeeper won a fortune and an heiress, foiled all his enemies and had some of the most amazing ad ventures ever penned —all in less time than it takes the hour hand to round th • dial twice. (Continued from Yesterday) “Ton forget that the story Is con tradicted by the very person that ought to know—Miss Blesslngton's guardian.” “Well. If she sailed for Europe on the Mauretania, like he says—how’s it come her name wasn't on the passen ger list?” "It’s quite possible that she may have elected to sail incognita." George displayed Ills disgust In a rude, choleric grunt, to see his labori ous fabrication, so painfully concocted for the delusion and discomfiture of P. threatening to collapse of sheer Intrinsic fllmsiness. In despera tion he grasped at one final, fugitive hope. “All right." lie said sullenly: “nil right. You don’t gotta believe me If you don't wanta Only wait—that’s all I ask—wait. You'll see whether I’m right or not when she turns down yonr Invite tonight.” P. Sybarite smiled sunnily. “So that Is why you thought she wouldn’t go with ns. Is It?" "You got me ." “You thought she. If Marian Rless Ington. must necessarily be such a snob that she wouldn’t associate with ns poor devils, did you?" “Walt. You’ll see.” “Well. I don’t mind telling you you’re wrong. I've alrendy asked Miss sing, and she has accepted." Oeorge's eyes, protrudlrg. glistened with poignant surprise A .Ter a long pause he ground his cigarette beneath his heel and rose. "In wrong, as usual." he admitted, with winning simplicity. "I never did guess anything right the first time Only—yor." grab this from me—maybe she’s willin’ to run tIV* risk of bein’ jeeen with ns. but that ain't saytn' she's ruybody else but Marian Bless!ngton.' •'Yon really think it likely that Mis-' (Blessington. hiding from her guardian And anxious to escape detection, would /take a job at the glove counter of her town store, where everybody must Iknow her by sight, where bet guard lan.

It out that the safest place for her Would be the last place he’d look for fcer.” “And you really think that she, ac customed to every luxury that money Can buy. would voluntarily eonie down to living here at 56 a week and clerk ing in a department store simply lie cause, according to the papers, she’s opposed to a marriage that she can't |>e forced to contract in a free country like this?” "PVaps old Sbaynon's double crossed her somehow we don't know nothin' •bout.

S.” I It was the turn of P. S. to hesitate In doubt. But be rallied quickly enough. “All things nre possible. George” he admitted with his quizzical grin "But this time you're mistaken. I'm hot arguing with you. I’m telling you. you’re bopplessly mistaken. Here she comes now. Don't yon breathe a word Of this to Miss Lessing.” “Why not?" I “Because 1 tell you not to— because” said P. Sybarite firmly. “I forbid you.’* “You—you forbid me? And what’’— ! “R-s-s-b!" P. Sybarite warned him Bibilantly. “Miss Lessing might bear you. What will happen If you dis obey me.” he added as the shopgirl turned In at the gatewaj. lowering his own voice and fixing the shipping clerk with a steely_stare, “will _be DAYS By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCF Copyright, 1912. hy the Frank A.

Mr. Broas swelled with resentment; exhibited n distorted and empurpled | visage, but kept silence. Pausing nt the foot of the stoop. Miss Lessing looked up nt the two young men and smiled. “Good evening," she said, with a pretty nod for P. Sybarite, and with ! Its fellow for George "Good evening j Mr. Bross." she added. Having acknowledged this salutation with that quaint courtesy which some bow seemed to fit him like a garment. F. Sybarite smiled strangely at the shipping clerk. The latter mumbled something In coherent. glanced wildly toward the young woman and spluttered explo i alvel.v. nil with a blush so deep that Its effect was apoplectic. Then, with ' an Inarticulate snort he turned and fled into the house. Confusion possessed him nnd with It rage. Stumbling blindly on the first I flight of he clawed the atmos phere with fingers that Itched for vio lent revenge. “I’ll get even.” he muttered savage ly. “I’ll get hunk with that boob If It’s the last act of my life!” It was with a suggestion of stealth that, he ascended the second flight and paused before the door of the back hall bedroom opened gently for the apace of three inches. "That you, George?” Violet Prim de manded with vivacity. Reluctantly he stopped, and in a throaty monosyllable admitted his iden tlty. “Did he fall for it?” "All over himself. Honest, Yi. It was a scream to watch his eyes pop. You could've clubbed ’em outa his bean without touchin' his beak. I ’most ■ died.” Miss Prim giggled appreciatively. “You're a wonder. George,” she ap plauded. "It takes 70U to think ’em out.” “Ah, I don’t know,” returned her ad mirer with becoming modesty. "He's gone on her, all right ain’t be?’’ “Crazy about her!” “Think lie'll make a play for her now?” "You never can tell about P. S He's a queer little gink." Footsteps became audible on the stairs below. “Well, so long. See you at dinner,” George added In haste. With determi nation, and a heavy tread, he went on to his room. Wbeu be had shaved (with particiilai caret and changed his linen (trimming collar and cuffs to a degree of nncoui mon nicety) and resumed his coat (brushing and hating It simultaneously and with equal ferocity for its very shabbiuess). P. Sybarite sought out a pipe old and disreputable enough to be a comfort to any man and sat down by the one window of his room (top floor, hall, back) to smoke and consider the state of the universe while await lng the dinner gong. The window commanded an elevat ed. If nonexhilarating, view of back yards, one and all dank, dismal and littered with the debris of a long, hard winter. Familiarity, however, had rendered P. Sybarite immune to the miasma of melancholy they exhaled. The trouble In his patient blue eyes, the wrinkles tlmt lined his forehead, owned another cause. In fact. George had wrought more disnstronsly upon his temper than P. Sybarite had let him see. Perhaps It wa* true. Perhaps George had guess od shrewdly. Perhaps Molly Leasing of the glove counter really was one and the same with Marian Rlesslngton of the fabulous fortune. Old Brian Shaynon was a known flevll of Infinite astuteness. It would be quite consistent with his character and past performances if, despairing •f gaining control of his ward's mon ey by urging her Into unwelcome mat rimony with his son. he hod contrived to overreach her In some Manner and ho driven her to become self support lng. Perhaps hardly likely, the hypoth esis was none the less quite plausible. A thing had happened within P. Syba rite’s knowledge of Brlnn Shaynon. Even If George’s romance were only true In pnrt, these were wretched cir cumstances for a girl of gentle birth and rearing to adopt. It was really a shocking boarding house. P. Sybarite had known it in timately for ten years. Use had made him callous to its shortcomings. He could remember most vividly bow he had loathed it for weeks, months, and years after the tide of evil for tunes had cast him up on Its crum bling brownstone stoop (even In that distant day. crumbling). For an entire deende he had occupied the same chair at the same table In the basement dining room, feasting on beef, mutton, fowl, Irish stew, ham and beans, veaL nork or Just hash— according lo the designated day of the I week. The very room in which he ant was •otuebow dear to him. Upon It he wasted n sentiment In a way akin to that with which one regards the grave of a beloved friend. It was, In snot, the tomb of Ills own youth. In this narrow room Ida very self had been extinguished. A man had degen erated into a machine. Everything that caught hts eye bore mute wit ness to this truth. Hu was 110 lonely victim. In his term he had seen many another come In hope. Huger lit disappointment, leave only to go to a meaner cell In the same stratum of ndsfortuue Was this radiant spirit of youth nnd i gentle loveliness (who might, for all I one knew to the contrary, bo Marian Hlosslugton, after nil) to be suffered to become one of that disconsolate crew ? What could be done to prevent it? Nothing that the wits of P. Sybarite could compass. He was us Inefficient as any gnat in nuy web. CHAPTER 111. Aftermath. THROUGH the hnlls Resounded the cacophonous clangor of a cracked gong announcing din ner. Sighing, P. Sybarite rose nnd knocked the ashes delicately from his pipe, saving the dottle for a good night whiff after the theater. Belug Saturday, it was the night of ham aod beans. P. Sybarite loathed ham and beans with a deathly loath ing. Nevertheless, he ate his dole of ham and beans. He sat on the land lady’s right nnd was reluctant to hurt her feelings or Incur her displeasure Besides, be was hungry. Mins leasing sat on the same side of the main dining table, but half a dozen chairs away. P. Sybarite could not see her save by craning his neck. He refused to crane Ills neck —it might seem ostentatious. Ylolet and her George occupied ad joining chairs at another and smaller table. Their attendance was occasion ally manifested through the medium of giggles and guffaws. P. Sybarite envied them. By custom the landlady relinquished her seat some minutes in advance of any guest. When P. Sybarite left the room he found her established at a desk in the basement hallway. Paus ing, he delivered unto her the mnjor portion of his week’s wage. Setting asido another certain amount against the cost of laundry work, tobacco and Incidentals, he bad $5 left Ho wondered If he dared risk the extravagance of a modest supper after the theater, and knew he dared not— knew it in a wretchedness of spirit, cursing his fate. There remained half an hour to be killed before time to start for the theater. George Bross Joined him on the stoop. They smoked pensively. It was spring—the tenth spring P. Sybarite had watched from that self same spot. Discontent bred in him a brooding despondency. He felt quite sure that the realists were right about Ufe—lt wasn't worth living, after all. At his side. George Bross, on his be half, was nursing his private and per sonal grouch. But presently Miss Prim and Miss Lessing appeared and changed an that in a twinkling. “Well,” observed Violet generously, “I thought little me was pretty well stage broke, but I gotta hand It to Otis. He's some actor. He had me going from the first snore.” “Some actor is right,” affirmed Mr. Bross with conviction, “and some show, too, if you wanta know. I could sit through it twleet Say, I couldn't quit thinkin’ what n grand young time I’d start In this old burg If I could only con this ‘Kismet’ thing Into allp pin’ me my day of days. Believe me or not,/there would be a party.” “What would you do?” asked Molly Lessing, smiling. “Well, the first flop I'd nail down all the coin that was bandy, and then I’d buy me a flock of automobiles— and have a table reserved for me at the Knickerbocker for dinner every night—und“— Imagination flagged “Well,” be concluded defensively, “1 can tell you one thing I wouldn’t do.” “What?" demanded Violet "I wouldn’t let Hny ward politician like that there Wazlr, or whatever i them A-rabs call him, kid me Into try ing to throw a bomb at Charlie Mur phy—or anything like that.” “But. you boDehead," Violet argued candidly, “he had to. That was his part It was written In the play.” “G’wan! If he’d Just stalled round and refused to Jump through the au thorid’ve framed up some other way out Why—blame Itl— he’d’ve had to!” “That will be about all for me," said Violet “I don’t feel strong enough tonight to stand any more of your dramatic criticism. Lead me home grid please talk baseball all the way.” With a resentful grunt Mr. Bross clamped a warm, moist hand round the plump arm of his charmer and with masterful address propelled her from the curb In front of the theater, where the little party had paused, to the northwest corner of Broadway. P. Sybarite, moving Instinctively to fol low, leaped back to the sidewalk bare ly in time to save his toes a crushing beneath the tires of a hurtling taxi cab. I (To Be Continued Tomorrow.)

Thinking the Last Two Polo Matches, Won By America Were Flukes, the Bally Britishers Are Preparing For Third Onslaught New York. -A very, very bravo man ii» Lord Ashby St. Legcr, <*f London, and points Eunt. Ills Lud ship is linking the chnnce of being made the Knghsh Ko.it minus horns- and also risking the possibility of being kicked around in n lusts slid promiscus fashion by the John Hull, nml all Ills offsprings. Ashby, of St. Leger. or whatever you call those titled English fellows when you get s<*t of chummy with them, is the gent who will head the British polo invaders who will come to these shores the latter part of May, or in June, de termined to dole out a walloping to Am erican champions. Twice In rapid succession, the Ameri cans have repulsed the Britons much to the chagrin of the Britons at large as well as those who are not at large. On both these occasions the vanquished English quartet returned to their na tive heaths with some high sounding excuse—the Americans squirted tobacco juice into their eyes at the crucial mo ment, broke the legs of all the English ponies just before tlie battle, mother, or something like that. It may he remarked in passing, that over in merry h’old H’lngland the na tives have grown a bit tired of sending their sons over to this upstart nation and having the sons sent back badly beaten up. H’ts an outrage—that's what H’t is—and It must he stopped, bahjove. What a bloomin’ insolent, unsociable fel low that Uncle Sam Is, any’ow! As many may remember, Johnny Bull sent his first little crowd of athletes over here along in 1776. The betting odds favored Johnny's crowd at 100 to I—but the short end persons collected Some years later Johnny, smarting un der his first defeat, and having the idea that it was a fluke, took another whirl at the fellows who Inhabited this sec tion at that time. The result was that the Britons whirled Into thlH nation nnd were whirled right out again. Those two victories gave Sammy an awful lot of confidence in himself. Win ning became a habit with him wlienl ever he was pitted against anything that wore an English label. And Jl’Lng Well, What Are They Going To Do With The Records This Season ? Here They Are New York.—Each season bnll players individually and as a team start out with the determination of smashing some of the old records and establish ing new ones for themselves. Here' are a few of the reeorels —taken frein .Spaldings 1914 Guide—whie'h sheew the' rather husky task that ceinfronts the players of this era who have record breaking amhitleens. Catchers. In 1909, George Glliaon, the Pirate cacher, worked in 140 eonseeutlve games. In July 1908 Roger Bnslaheen, then with the Giants, did not have an assist or put-out In a ten inning gHine. An average of .990 for the seasem was turned in In 1904 ley Joe Bugden, eif the Browns, in 1908 by Jack O’Connor, of the Browns, In 1907 by Frank Pow erman. of IJo-w York, In 1909 by For rest Cady, of the Red Kox, and also by George Gibson, of Pittsburgh. In Pitching Line. In the pitching line, Charles Rad bourne, with Providence in 188.1 work ed in 37 consecutive games and won 28. In 1883 he pitched 72 games' In one season a record that was dupli cated in 1889 by John Clarkson, then with Boston. Keefe, pitching for the Giants in 1889, and Marquard, pitch ing for the same team In 1912, are tied with 19 consecutive victories In one season. Charles Sweeney, pitching for Provi dence against Boston in 1881, struck out 21 batsmen. Amos Rusla, In 1892, gave 281 bases on balls In one season. in 1875 Al G. Spalding pitched 61 games ami got an average of .899 for the season. In 1904, ’’Rube" Waddell, then with the Athletics, struck out 143 batsmen In one season. First Base. Frank Chance, in 1910, while first basing for the Cutis, took unto himself the remarkable average of .996 for the season. Jlggs Donahue, former first baseman of the White Kox, holds the other three records in the first basing line. In 1907 he accepted the highest number of chances —1,986; In 1906 he had 21 chances In one game, while In 1906 he had hut one chance In the game—an assist. Second Sack, In 1905 Lajole of the Naps turned In the record fielding percentage for sec ond basemen .990. I/ibert of the Phil lies, holds the third basing record, having acquired .976 in 1912. Turner of the Naps grabbed .971 while short stopping In 1910. Lajole In 1908 ac cepted 988 chances Coll Iris of the Red Sox accepted 601 chances at third in 1899 and Allen, the Phillies shortstop, accepted 955 chances In 1892. In the Outfield.

After the American Big Four tvlm med the Britons Isst June It was an nounced that no English team would come hero this year to try conclusions iignln None in that nation across the seas wanted to take a chance ngitust the Americans that Is, until Ashby* rose up and expressed himself. Many of Ashby's friends tried to re strain him. They pointed out that the chances of the Britons winning weren't as good as they wero in oth«w* years, Also they pointed out that If Ashby brought a team here, and that team was beaten, the English folk would he so darned mad ut Aslihy that they might oust him from his clubs. “And. y*no old tpo." they told Ashby “it’s deucedly awkward to 'nvo to drink brandy and sods h’outstdo the club.’* But as previously stated Ashby is a brave man. "Bloole. hlooie,’’ remarked he or words to that effect, "what care h'l for the 11* A merles ns. 1 say to you now that right ’are in h’England we ’ave some polo players 'oo 'aven’t any peers In the world. And li'l’ll gather them to gether and take ’em to H’Ameiica and bring back the bally cup.” Whereupon Ashby gathered unto him self about ten Of the best poloists in the British Isles and had the hoys ferried across to Madrid, which Is In Spain, where the hoys now are busily engaged in target practice. In addition to this, Ashby hns spent large gobs of lucre in acquiring the best polo ponies that money can buy. Reports from Spain are to the effect that the Britons this year have gathered together even a greater galaxy of polo stars than the quartet that gave the Americans such a thrilling bnttle last June, and that their ponies «Te fester and surer mounts than any of the hun dred or more that were brought ' here last year. Ashby’s such a nice sort of chap. y’no. and a game brave fellah, that we ’ope they won’t h’expell ’lm from ’ls clubs. of the Cubs hung up a record of .992 ill 1908 in right. Patsy Dougherty of the white Box (1906) and Fred Clarke, Pirates (1907), are tied with .987 at left fielding, while Harry Hay, Cleve land (1904), Amos Strunk. Athletics (1912, and Tommy Leach, Cubs (1913), arc tied with .990 at center fielding. Clarke of the Pirates made four as sists from the outfield In one game In 1910 and had ten patents tn one nine inning game In 1911, both being rec ord performances. George Mcßride, the Washington shortstop, enjoys the distinction of being the only Inflelder who ever went through a game with out having had one chance to clutch the bull. With the Willow. In the clubbing line, Hugh Duffy’s record of .418 for one season made in 1894 Is the mark the star batters must shoot at. Ty Cobh of the Tigers made 248 hits In 1911. Brown, playing with Louisville, 111 1892 Was at hat 668 ttme« In one season. The Phillies, hark In the late 90'h, made 16 hits In one nine Inning game off John Wadsworth of j/oulsvllle. Clarence Beaumont of the Pirates got six hits In six times up in 1899, while Ed Delehanty of the Phillies got four home runs and a single In five times up off Terry, the Chicago pitch er, In 1896. "Buck” Freeman, the old Washington player, hammered out 26 home ruiiH in one inning, the next heat achievement In Mils line having been Frank Hhulte of the Cobs, who annexed 21 circuit swats in 1911. In 1907 Hal Chase, then with the Yankees, hatted safely In 27 consent - tlve games. In 1911 Fred Merkle of the Giants mnde a home run and a two-base hit In one Inning against the Cardinal pitchers. In 1912 the Gi ants made 13 two-base lilts against a trio of Brooklyn pitchers. Twenty-four Innings. The Athletics and Red Kox battled In a 24-Inning game In 1906 that ended 4-1 In favor of the Athletics. Barrett of Detroit played In 162 games In 1904. The Providence team In 1884 won 20 eonseeutlve games. The- while Kox In 1906 won 19 in a row. Chicago scored eighteen runs In one Inning against Detroit In 1881.
