* 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.

“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

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

"You got me ."
“You thought she. If Marian Rless

snob that she wouldn’t associate with

“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

md be good."
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

“But. you boDehead," Violet argued
candidly, “he had to. That was his

“G’wan! If he’d Just stalled round

“That will be about all for me," said
Violet “I don’t feel strong enough
tonight to stand any more of your

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.

Do With The Records This
Season ? Here They 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,

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

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. Ty Cobb soured 147
runs In one season -iirll. Harry Hto
vey of the Athletics stole 166 bases
In 1888.
Psrry Lipe.
Perry Lipe of the Richmond, Va ,
team played e very game In 1901 with
Greenville, Mlsa., every game In 1904,
1905, 1906 and 1907 wltli Macon, (is.,
and every game with Richmond, Vs., In
1908 and 1909 with the exception of the
Isst Inning of a game In June, 1909,
when he was "chased" by the umpire.
In 1912 the Red Kox, by winning 105
games and finishing with an average
of .691, hung up the best team record
tn the American League The Bos
ton club of 1875, which won 71 games
