"I must say tho boy is u disappoint-

Araukly.
"In the law woy maybe," nodded
feirpy, effervescent John Wilson, who
IMmself was n very good uttorney, in

Oh, If he would only- win a legal

"lie will never do thnt, nnd you lire
wasting your time trying to make him

"As an ull-uround office mun, Wuldron
Hi tremendous success, makes warm
friends of our clients, attends prompt

fry fMCts of the profession. If he were
mj boy, I would turn him loose like a
wild cult, and let him follow his own

"Which means he would either turn

o closer adaptation for the law, let
kina win Ms living In some other way.

Tor all his gloomy declarations the

' "There's a mission for you to attend
to," spoke Mr. Wilson. "You know
Ms Marsh?"
' "Wish I did !" brightly retorted Wul
dron ighlngly. "They say she hus

"1 mean you are aware of the condl
Son of the estate," proceeded the law
jk. "I have just received a letter
from her guardian, Ilolfe. It seems
fftat Miss Marsh chufes at tho lonely
Zfe In the old mansion. It Is unfor
tec&te that her father made her the
van! of that old humbug, who thinks

sterously hypocritical nnd time serv

mow of the perquisites, that he shuts

"Jl bird In a gilded cage, eh?" he
mnarfced curelessly.
"About that, for ho has to humor nil

"That's easy," observed Waldron In

tfisUnt. "I might And out for you.

"Well, we'll talk about that later,"
Mid the lawyer dryly. "In the mean

mat be extended a written sheet to
Waldron. "It's a letter from Rolfe,
wsfcing as to send a decorator to Holly--araod
to fit up a suite of rooms In one

"Terjr well, sir."

ftMe absence of his clerk. He
jrwted Waldron with a decidedly se
sm frown as nearly at closing time
kepat In an appearance. Then amnze-
t mitigated his choler, for Waldron
a sight Always Immaculately
and a precision In matter of
bis hair was awry, his face
ranted with' dirt, his hands grimed,
30 clothing bedaubed with flour paste.
. "Sorry I was delayed," announced
.VfWdroa sprightly, "but one of my
aftnaea for fathoming the Hollywood
Watery presented and I practiced."
"Traetlced?" repeated Mr. Wilson
li mm
Pi
"Exactly so, sir. You see Messrs.
I'.lggs were going to send an expert
down to decorate those rooms a mere
'inostlon of papering. I got an lnsplrn-
Hon. Why not represent the expert?
Well, sir, Messrs. ISlggs are willing. I
start for Hollywood tomorrow, as a
poor, humble paper hanger."
"Zounds! are you innd?" cried the
amazed uttorney.
"Think It over. Ethically, the firm
his no right to spy upon Mr. Itolfe,
but should we not protect our client?"
"Our client I you audacious, presuming-"
"Paper hnngerl" chuckled Waldron.
The lawyer had to laugh, too.
A more business-engrossed young
man never entered the Marsh mansion
than Waldron Prothero. Tho keen
eyed Mr. Itolfo snw hlra about his
work In the old wing and left him
there with a free mind. "Dobson," as
he wns announced, noticed nothing but
his work. Apparently he wns blind to
even the radiant beauty of Miss Inez
Marsh, which piqued the young lndy
In question, but highly pleased her
watchful guardian.
However,, It wus nuturnt that Miss
Marsh should visit the wing to direct
I he work. It was Just as natural that
she should become Interested In the
handsome, courteous, Intelligent young
man who unfolded new points to ad
mire us the days went on.
"The last room Is finished, Miss
Marsh," announced Waldron one day
and he cast a devouring, add then a
lugubrious glance upon his pleasant
companion.
"Yes, I see," nodded the keen-witted
little witch. "You have put that bor
der on upside down, Mr. er er Dobson,
und I have noticed other perversions
und omissions that. do not coincide
with the expert decorator. Also, here
Is a card case you dropped, Mr. er er
Wuldron Prothero, of the firm of Wil
son & Morton, our family lawyers."
Waldron was petrified. He realized
that he was unmasked, but also In the
poorly suppressed smiles of that lovely
face that tho Imposition was forgiven.
"So, what Is the answer?" frankly
Interrogated Inez, and Just as frankly
Waldron made confession full and com
plete. "Buck, eh?" propounded Mr. Wilson
a few mornings later, as Waldron bolt
ed Into the oifice fresh as a dulsy and
wearing a radiant smile on his hand
some face.
"Yes, sir," came the prompt reply.
"I did the pnpcrlng, sir, and had large
opportunity of studying the Hollywood
situation. Its gloom and discipline
were wearing away the heart of that
sweet, dear, little creature, Inez."
"Inez!" fulrly shouted the petrified
lawyer.
"Yes, Blr, so I advised her to'leuve,"
"What? nnd forfeit her fortune?"
"Oh, no, sir," smiled Wuldron sweet
ly. "She could not Ignore the forfeit
provision, sir, so we "
"We!" almost shouted tho astounded
lawyer. "You talk as If she were some
close friend."
"Better than that!" chirped Waldron
Prothero, complacently "she Is my
wife."
Self-Reliant Art
Music Is the most complete and self
reliant of tho arts, according to the
eminent critic, William J. Henderson.
It has no utilitarian purpose, like archi
tecture; It never, like liternture, be
comes a treasure chest for the archives
of history. Despite Wagner's exhil
arating Interpretation of the Seventh
Symphony as "the apotheosis of tho
dance," that composition remains an
absolute symphony In A major,
capable of resting wholly upon Its
own musical beauty. A suite by Bach
can live a thing of beauty nnd a Joy
forever, even while It cnlmly defies
every attempt to create for It any
foundation outside Its own thematic
materials. Mozart's concertos nnd the
symphonies of Brahms belong to this
same class. All their eloquence con
sists In lofty song. They tell no stories;
they paint no pictures; they mnke no
futile essays at preaching philosophies.
Why Mankind It Bad.
Mankind, ns we know, In the lump
Is bad, but that It Is not worse remains
the everlasting wonder. It Is not the
squulor of such a crowd that should
astonish ; It Is the marvel that they are
not more squalid. For, after all, what
Is the root cause of nil this dirt and
lgnorunce and shubblness and disease?
It Is not drink, nor thrlftlessness, nor
immorality, as the philanthropists do
vainly talk ; still less Is It crime. It la
the "Inequality" that Matthew Arnold
said made a high civilization Impos
sible. But such Inequality Is only an
other name for poverty, and from pov
erty we have yet to discover the way
of redemption. Exchange.
True Friendship Mirror.
True friendship Is self love at second
hand; where as inn flattering mirror,
we may see our virtues magnified and
our errors softened and where we may
fancy our opinion of ourselves con
firmed by an Impartial and faithful
witness. He (of alt the world) creeps
the closest In our bosoms, Into our fa
vor and esteem, who thinks of us most
nearly as we do ourselves. Such a one
Is Indeed the pattern of a friend, an
other self and our gratitude for tho
blessing is as sincere as It Is hollow
In most other cases. This Is one rea
son why entire friendship Is scarcely
to be found, except In love. nnzlltt
Art In America.
The first school of painting to es

WINNING BIGGEST
SsfiK anf
III
Thirty-three years old and Just be
ginning to have his most remarkable
success as a pitcher that's tho rec
ord of Eddie CIcotte. Credited this
yeur with the most successful use of
the "shine bull," he ulso Is given cred
it for having some control over a
knuckle ball and Is more than the av
erage performer with the spltter.
CIcotte, a veteran who, according to
usual records, should be getting out of
the way, heaved himself into the rec
ords for keeps when he hurled a no
hlt, no-run gume this year.
When Jack Coombs was getting his
first experience ns n major leaguer, CI
cotte had been tuken on by Detroit,
found wanting and sent back. Ho
graduated from the same club that
turned Ty Cobb loose nnd they both
went to Detroit the same year.

RETORT ENDS GRIFF'S HOWL
Silk O'Loughlin Resents Statement of
Washington Leader That He Had
Made Wrong Guess.
Clark Griffith, manager of the Wash
ington Anierlcnns, Is considered one
of the hardest losers In baseball. And
Clark Griffith.
Grift's friends sny he hates to lose an
argument about as much as he dislikes
to drop a bull game.
Washington recently lost a game to
Detroit because of a close decision
which gave Cobb a base on balls.
OXoughlln was the umpire.
Grllllth met O'Loughlin and his part
ner after tho gnme.
"You two highwaymen looked fine In
there today I" said the National's man
ager. "What's the matter, Griff?" asked
Silk.
"That third strike you missed on
Cobb cost us tnc game, that's all."
"You're wrong, my boy, you're wrong.
I never made a mistake In my life,"
chirped O'Loughlin nnd he moved
away, leaving Grllllth speechless.
THIRD MAJOR LEAGUE RUMOR
Intimated That Plan May Be Put Into
Effect When Season Ends Eight
Cities Named.
There are rumors and much whisper
ing about the third major league plan
which, It Is said, may be put In effect
when the season ends. The plan pro
vides for clubs from Buffalo, Toronto,
Baltimore, Newark, Indianapolis, To
ledo, Milwaukee and Kansas City. Let
us hope some of these predictions come
true. It will be good to see those cities
represented In the big leagues. They've
got good material to work with, too.
BERRY CUTS DOWN EXPENSES
Owner of San Francisco Club Releases
Manager Wolverton and Does
Directing Himself.
Henry Berry, owner of the San Fran
cisco club, has gone the other mag
nates of his league one better In cut
ting down expenses. Harry Wolverton
was receutly released as mannger of
the Seals, and now Berry Is sitting on
the bench nnd doing the directing him
self, although he has never had prac
tical experience In such work before.
SUCCESS IN THIRTIES
I
sou CIcotte bus been twirling them
over In tho American league first ns
a member of the Bed Sox and then as
a member of the White Sox.
CIcotte missed participation In the
1912 world series by a hair, for he was
transferred to the Chicago club In that
year, after he had been turned down
and spurned by Juke Stuhl as of In
ferior caliber.
CIcotte has been going along in nn
even way, winning a game here and j
losing one mere, ins most, mid-ens-ful
season wus while he was with Lin
coln In the Western league in 1007.
He won 123 and lost 10 games.
If the White Sox laud the pennant,
It will be largely tho work of this vet
eran heaver. His work Is the most
consistent and really brilliant among
oil the curvers of the great busebull
club. .
DIAMOND
NOTES'
Fielder Jones says Slsler Is as great
as Cobb ever wus.
George Davis, once manager of tho
Giants and White Sox, Is with the
Browns as head coach and scout.
The veteran Terry Turner gets Into
the game occasionally for Cleveland,
und he still Is a high-class fielder.
Uncle Bobble Is longing to get his
fading champions into the first di
vision. It shouldn't be a dlllleult tusk.
Jim Corbett has again picked the
Giants to win. Which caused the
bookies to lay bigger odds on the Beds.
Maybe Connie Mack would lend his
white elephant to the Siamese army.
But It would be nn awful blow to the
allies.
More and more people tire becoming
more deeply concerned about the price
of eggs than about Ty Cobb's butting
averuge.
Branch Rickey, president of the
Curdinf.ls, Is elated over the acquisi
tion of Goodwin, the pitcher obtained
from Milwaukee.
The Browns made seven errors In a
bull game the other duy. Fielder Jones
would have been a pleasant guy to tulk
to after the game.
Juwn McGrnw probably couldn't see
the Joke If Mutty, Bousch, Groh and
a few more Giant cast-offs should beat
him out of the flag.
Eddie Lafitte, who was with the
Brooklyn Feds and who has hurled for
the Paterson SI lit Sox of lute, has quit
baseball to enlist in the army.
President Wilson has unnounced that
be wants baseball to be continued for
the rest of the season at least, which
assures a world series this full.
Johnny Brock Is the name of a young
catcher who will soon Join the Curdl
nals. He halls from the Muskogee
team of the Western association.
If the war Is responsible for Intro
ducing baseball ns the International
pastime, it will atone for much by add
ing vastly to the gayety of nations.
Nobody ever believed tbnt Frank Ba
ker tampered with Pitcher Sothoron of
the Browns. It looked like a case of
sour grapes on the part of the disap
pointed Fielder Jones.
Philadelphia osteopath tells Guy
Morton that the troubles with his
pitching are mostly Imaginary. That's
been the trouble with his winning
average this year, too.
Beals Becker, former Giant, Is
strengthening his hold on the batting
lead In the American association. Beck
er, with Kansas City, Is at present hit
ting .349.
Jack Wilkinson has succeeded
George Miller as a member of the .West
ern league umpire staff. He has been
getting by so far.
The veteran pitcher, Edgar Wlllett,
once with the Detroit Tigers, has been
released by the Memphis club to New
Orleans. . .
NEW WORLD PASTIME
JIMMY CALLAHAN PREDICT8 BIO
INTERNATIONAL 8ERIE3.
Sees Games Between Championship
Teams of England, France, Japan,
United States and Possibly
8outh America.
International baseball after the war?
A world's series between the cham
pion teums of England, France, the
United States, Japan and possibly
South America?
"Why not?" asked Jimmy Calluhan,
ex-pllot of the Pirates, who rounded
this little old globe four years ago with
ihe All-Amerlcuus nud All-Nationals,
and who is now Interested In baseball
behind the trenches In France.
"It will not surprise me If England
and France take up baseball after the
war," said Jimmy. "Those people like
baseball tho only trouble Is tho game
has never been allowed to develop
there.
"I like to think of that trip we took
four years ago as a missionary trip.
We played to vast crowds ond they
Jimmy Callahan.
liked the game. They cheered every
time u hit was made, even If It were
only a foul.
"But the real missionary work Is go
ing on behind the trendies now, where
Americans luid Canadians are playing
baseball for the edification and delight
of the Tomntles und pollus as well as
for their own plooaure."
Callahan has struck a populnr note.
Why not International bascbull after
the wiir?
Baseball has been one of the great
melting pots of America. Practically
every nationality has contributed big
stars. This refutes any Idea that base
bull has been cornered by America and
cannot bo developed anywhere else.
Looking over the records of tho lust
few years we find thot France Is rep
resented by the great LaJole, by
CIcotte, Fabrlque, Ituth nnd several
others. Ireland contributed the Deln
haniys, Pat Morun, Morlnrty, KUllfer
nnd n ho,st of others. Scotland gave us
McQuillan and Chnlmei-s. Bates nnd
many others are of English descent
Italy Is represented by Ahhntichlo,
Gulsto and Ping Bodio. Many great
ball players have come from Germany,
Bohemia and Poland.
BASEBALL FREAK OF SEASON
Greasy Niale of Cincinnati Made Home
Run nnd Single In One Time at
13at In Giant Game.
Every baseball seoson produces Its
freaks, and 1917 Is no exception to the
rule.
In n recent game nt the Polo
Grounds. Greasy Nenle of the Reds,
got n home run ond a single In one
time at but.
"Can't be done!" you sny? Bet your
small change first.
Neaic came to bat with Chase on
second and hit to center field for four
bases. But as Pol rerritt, the Giants'
pitcher, wound up to pitch the ball
that Neale slammed for a homer, a
fan who had recovered a foul In the
grandstand tossed It onto the field of
play nnd Umpire Ilan-Ison raised his
hand, calling time, Just before the
ball was hit.
After a conference between umpires
and munngers It was decided that the
home run was illegal nnd Neale was
called back to the plate. He drove a
single to left on the next ball pitched.
As he was credited with but one tlmo
at bat he made n homer and a single
In tho one trip to the platter, some
thing which doesn't happen often.
Friction In Cleveland.
Reports from Cleveland have had It
that James Dunn and Rob McRoy have
not been getting nlong well In adminis
tration of club affairs and Hint McHoy
would sell out his Interest to his part
ners and retire. McRoy denies there
has been any clush and says be has no
Intention of retiring from the club.
While It Is true he has been away from
the club offices In Cleveland practically
for a month, he says he has merely
been taking a vacation.
Bobby Byrne Is Through.
Bobby Byrne, veteran third base
man, released unconditionally by the
Phillies, says he bus quit baseball for
good, and thut he will go Into business
In St. Louis. Byrne Is classed as a
"veteran," yet he Is but wto or three
years beyond thirty. He started his
professional career at an age when
most boys aer Just shedding their knee
pants.
Not Worried About Saler.
Manager Mitchell will not be wor
ried much If Barney Dreyfuss Insists on
taking Vic Saler, as Vic will not be
able to play lot the brJanoe of this
season. - -'
b ' ' ' t I
Faith by
.Hearing
By REV. W. W. KETCHUM
Director of Practical Work CourM,
Moody Bibla loitituu. Chicago
TEXT-So tlian faith cometh by hearing
anil hearlnv bv tha Word of God. Ro-
! mam 10:7.
Faith Is often spoken of as If It
were the acceptance as true of some
thing which we
have no means of
knowing whether
It be true or not.
Such, however, Is
not the fulth fhe
I'llile demands of
us. It does not
ask us to assent
to any proposi
tion ns true with
out giving us
evidence to sup
port it. Tuke, for
Instance, utiy fun
damental fact of
the Gospel and
you will see thut
this Is the cuse.
Paul, In the fifteenth of First Corinthi
ans, In speaking of the resurrection of
Christ, at once adduces evidence to
support ihe fact of his resurrection.
It Is a popular notion that faith Is
a leap In the dark, but real faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ Is based upon
good, substantial evidence. In fact, In
order for ono to believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ, there must be something
to believe concerning him; otherwise
It would not bo possible to believe In
him. Fulth In Christ reaches him
through our fulth In the facts concern
ing him. It Is for thut reason, that the
Gospel Is spoken of ns "the power of
God unto salvation to everyone that
helleveth." Of course, we know thut
Christ Is the Savior, yet the Gospel Is
rightly spoken of In this wny, because
It Is by believing the Gospel which
tells us that Christ suves and how he
suves, thut we in thus believing com
mit ourselves to him as our Savior.
Faith Based on Evidence.
Now Puul knew thut real faith Is
based upon evidence, und that It Is
not simply by urging people to believe
In Christ that faith Is begotten, so we
rend of his persuading the folks who
came to him concerning Jesus Christ
(Acts 28:''3). This should be a les
son to us who, perhaps more frequent
ly than we ought, depend upon exhor
tation to lead people to faith in Christ
rather than upon evidence which culls
forth faith. People should be exhort
ed, but they should also be persuaded.
When it speaks of Puul persuading
them concerning Jesus, it does not
mean that ho pitted his Intellect nnd
will against theirs, and by sheer force
tried to make them believe In Jesus.
Whnt he did, as we know, wns to pre
sent evidence for their faith to rest
upon. He did this by expounding to
them "out of the law of Moses and
out of the prophets." Thot is, he went
to the Old Testament Scriptures ond
therefrom produced evidence concern
ing Christ's person und work. As a
result we read, "some believed the
things which were spoken ond some
believed not" (Acts 2S:24). Thus It
nlwuys Is when the evidence concern
ing Christ Is presented, for though tho
evidence be sufficient, some will not
have Christ to reign over them. It Is
not with them a matter of being con
vinced of the truth, it is nn unwilling
ness to yield (he life to Christ, and In
that case they would not believe, us
Christ said, "though one should rise
from the dead."
A Case in Point.
Quite recently, I dealt with one who
professes to be-nn Inlldel, nnd whether
or not he renlly Is one, he wns mnsu
blatant and blasphemous in his talk.
When I pressed him that honesty de
manded thnt he fairly weigh the evi
dence and put Christ to the test, he
wns unwilling to do so nnd tried to
laugh the matter, as It were, out of
court. Ho called "the whole business,"
ns he said, "a myth," and yet I venture
to sny that he never with a real desire
to know th tr.ith had put himself In
the way of evidence by which real
faith comes. I do not mean that he
had not rend the Bible. I suppose he
hnd, but I presume he rend It under
the blighting criticism of n Thomu
Pulne or a Robert Ingersoll. Who
would believe even his own good nnd
true mother If he. always looked at her
through eyes of such bitter enemies as
they and their Ilk arc of the Scrip
tures? Or, who would ever trust him
self to his mother. If he always cume
to her In the spirit of criticism to find
her faults and never to discover her
virtues? If a man desires faith, there
Is n way to get It. It is a divine wny
that never fulls the one who honestly
thereby seeks the Lord. It Is to put
oneself in the way of faith, and Just as
surely as one does, providing he Is
willing nnd ready to believe, faith will
come to him ns the gift of God. Just
ns you rip the water from the spring,
If you go where the spring Is, so you
can have faith from God If you will
! go where It Is to be had. "Fulth cometh
! by hearing, nnd hearing by the word
of God." Paul knew where that plnee
wns, and so we always find him ren
; soiling with his hearers out of the
I Scriptures opening nnd alleging thnt
' Christ must needs have suffered, and
risen again from the dead, and that
the Jesus whom we preuch is Christ
(Acts 17:1-4). '
My Infidel friend whom I tried to
get honestly to put himself In the wny
of faith would not do It, simply be
cnuse he did not want to believe.
When I pressed him further, I found
he hnd settled the matter in early
youth. He had turned Christ down In
a revival meeting, which he attended
as a boy, and now In moturer years he
Is trying to comfort himself with the
false hope thnt Christ is a myth.
There is a time, we know not when;
A place, we know not where;
That aeals the destiny of man,
For glory or despair.
If yon desire to believe In Christ
remember that fulth cometh by hear
log, and hearing by the Word of God.
