HONGR AND PURITY He Found the Real Which Com- pared Favorably With the Ideal. BY MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD- RIDGE. Wherever he looked, whether at a lovely sunset scene or some radiant picture, he saw a sheen of gold red hair, a cheek the hue of a rose leaf and eyes as tender as the softest moonlight. It affected the heart like enchanted music. The hushed dreams of youth were awakened and his pulse bounded at the alarm. He sat now-—he, Norman Dacey-— young, rich in money but dissatisfied of soul, telling the story of it all to his closest friend, Eliott Hughes. As he spoke hig subdued tones reminded of a poet traversing some sweet and ten- der lay, for into his barren life had come a purpose—to find one woman he had seen and to tell her that he loved her. All about them was the luxury and refinement of a magnificent home that had resounded to the chatter and song and gayety of brocaded dames and radiant bejeweled demoiselles. Now, however, there only a flashing recollection of a homespun garb, plain and simple, and the old-fashioned brooch Dacey had been showing his friend, valued more than the Dacey family jewels. was “Two months,” he was saying, “and it seems like two years. It was just beyond the village that the team took fright at a passing automobile. I was thrown out. It was the gash from a deep cut that was the mont serious. I was stunned. Then between that and the hospital there was one supreme moment. It was when I saw her “You have told that, Dacey,” br in Hughes in a tone il “She was lovely as slight rat an houri and of was simply a girl, an in ful girl,” Dacey “A man stood at a little dist probably a relative.

Did ygn never hear of love at first sight? A mere glance in the moonlight bound you irrevocably to your wife.” Hughes flushed and looked con- gcious. He evaded a direct reply by saying lightly: “Well, 1 am at least glad to see your mind roused out of the torpor of your habitual ennui. If you can take any interest in pursuing this extravagant phantom, keep it up. Let me see, though-1 believe you told me that the accident waa costly to you in more ways than one?” “You mean the served Dacey. “You call five hundred dollars in money a trifle!” “The money does not trouble me,” replied Dacey carelessly. “1 may have lost it before the accident.” “Has it struck vou,” insinuated Hughes, “that the conjunction of an unknown young woman and your miss. ing pocketbook may have some con. ‘nection ?” “1 would swear to the honor and purity of that eweet soul,” cried Dacey. “Have your way,” laughed Hughes, “l only hope you may find the real to compare favorably with the ideal” The friends geparated, Hughes to go it, not , somewhat re her mother.” " trifle I lost?” ob home to his wife to smile over “the ridiculous infatuation of Dacey,” the latter to still more determinedly seok some trace of the mysterious unknown whose bonny face was with him cvery- where. After that he spent days and then weeks in a constant effort to down the being he could not dismiss from his thoughts. And then, blustering November night, as he sat in the library of his lonely home gaz ing moodily into the tap at the long French window brought him to his feet as if a ma- gician's wand was anouncing all in a moment the culmination of his fond- est dreams. He saw a forlorn form appear be- fore the casement and falter there He saw a wan, agitated face and drip ping, storm-beaten garments. In an instant he had drawn open the win- dow, and she, the lady of his dreams, tottered into the room and fell to the nearest chair, where she drooped like a wilted flower Infinite pity swelled in his heart at a sight of her helplessness, her woeful plight. Love reinspired sent his heart beating high as he realized that his long quest was over and done. She ralsed her eyes at last to mur- mur his name, to draw from her bosom the pocketbook he had lost, “You are Mr. Dacey,” “This is yours, I must go.” “No! No!" cried Dacey, blocking the way. Then he saw her reel with a terrified cry. The windows behind Dacey opened and a rough-looking man intruded—the before with the “Ah, 1 have found ria?" hissed the intruder. that all of the time—"' The pocketbook. arm. “Do not she faltered he had seen girl. man once Glo- had you, have I, “You for the his strong apeaker dive a Dacey put out harm him,” pleaded the girl “He has kept me a pris he be oner, has cause | nearly starved me would not give un the norl up the him nched {rom and it book which I wre brother— my was i i i 1 “I pick Journal and Humorous Are Been, osopher In Tells of Things That That Wugnt 4 Have Out brought of the fusillad on by tiie W all na, something is dawn is pi is BEatid Already rout gireet the It had a n matter ing aware Wall street in pain, it or a doctor the tit Sar imber « with 3 oF vithout of mg th to ask , A8 all ook in forth Was amd And th rent f us ndinizes fliers fog al that of the little which we brought if only the stock been Incorporated or if somebody hadn't washed a sale on some other day except the regular wash day, or if some person, in a mo ment of carelessness (it certainly wasn't intentional), hadn't left a gerew loose somewhere All that, however, has passéd, nearly passed.

The following week he was sent in against Detroit to start the game. He lost by hard luck—as even the Tigers will admit—but held the hard hitting squad to five hits. He was cool, de liberate and worked like a veteran. Then St. Louis faced him and were held to two hits, losing without a chance in the world against the big fellow. Then he went against Ray Keating, the star spit baller the New York Highlanders picked up this spring and in front of the largest crowd aver gathered around a baseball diamond {estimated at 45,000 on Frank Chance day at Chicago), easily won his game.
