The Countess and her daughter don't change their sailing, for there is:nothing to gain by it. Once'thor- otighly convinced that I am married, I don't suppose even a Russian countess would bother me.

White clouds were moving above' a blue, blue sky; the world looked wash- ed and clean, chuich bells laced the sunny city with a lingering solemn clamor. ' - ate churchgoers were mov- ing brfsklq' along, but -Cass and Mary Kate had already performed their, Sunday duty and were free. The girl had indeed been out in the cool twilight of seven o'clock, catching the sunrise over the towers and ship spars of lower San it rancisco. She had loitered over 'a. delicious breakfast aldne with; Ma and Pat, and had seen more sunshine slanting, into the shab- by kitchen, striki,ig glints from the 'Nass sink faucets and the nickel rlarm clock. She had roused Tess and Regina and Tom and Mart, had'wash- td her bright hair, and read the Sun-, day paper and worked out the cross- word puzzle while it dried :he had bellied' her mother straighten the kit- chen, "after the children's breakfast, and had heard once more the story of the day Aunt Nellie caught fire the just before the Rowe twins were born, which recollection inevitably led Mrs. O'Hara into a dissertation on Uncle Jim Rowe, whowas.irresistilily high v spirited,, and who had been known in his youth as "the life of the wake." This naturally evoked .memories of the Dugans, the Creels ,andO the Spite Wall. (To be continued.) pretty thick.

"In the first place, she was distantly connected with the Imperial family, and she wanted beget that all straightened out. Then she asked me if I would come the next day and have tea with her mother and herself—tea; at twelve ocloek. It seems they have sort of betrothal teas -can you tie it?" 'Mavens!" said Mary Kate, her face whitening with sympathy. "Well, you can imagine. You see a g'rl like that—she's about twenty- seven, she was seventeen at the time of the war, a girl like that doesn't expect to know her young man very well. It's just got to be a suitable arrangement with plenty of honey. She's been banging about the world for ten years now, looking for some- thing soft, and she thinks she's found it." "But do you like her?" "I loathe her! However, I didn't tell you the worst I went to their place next morning, thinking there would be a regular gang there, and 1 was the whole party!

I was deathly ill, I always am, and the Countess would get into my loom, and play bezique with me--she plays darned well—she made some- thing that way, but she was welcome to that! And when we parted in New York, she asked Inc when we should give the glad tidings to the papers." "Give it a stick and a tall hat-whilc you're' about it," said Mary Kate drily. "I give you my word it's every syl- lable trve! On my honor." "Why, that's horrible!" the girl said indignantly. "I'm glad you see it that way. Well, I stalled her off in New York,' Chris- topher Steynes resumed, by telling her. that there was a girl down South my r.wthcr wanted me to marry. There was, too. You know Russians will take a lot of that, because everything with them is formal—arranged by the higher ups. So I cut away again, now -I want you to play that girl." She had laughed out, two or three times, during the recital, had frowned, shaken her head. Her eyes :lair -flashed anger arid interest. -Now rhe said in- flexibly, but in a much gentler tone, "I'd have to ask my mother." "Then it's all off, isn't it?" the man said, despairing. Mary Kate considered. "Well, yes, I suppose it is.' "I tell you it's a perfectly cold- blooded proposition," he said. "I know you'll understand when I say that I'm not in the least interested in you. I'm not in any girl, I've never been in love—I get a case occasionally—I never follow.them up. You don't be- lieve that. It's tr'ue." "I dor't—suppose—there's a chance with my mother," Mary Kate said, considering. "Of course there isn't! But in the first place, you'd do me a perfectly inestimable favor, it'd be a work of charity," he pleaded. "And—are you engaged? Would you have any use for: a little extra money?" ' Her happy eclor rushed up. She sat regarding him doubtfully, dar- ingly. "Look here," he said. lie caught up a pencil on her desk, and wrote some figures on a scrap of paper. Her eyes followed his hand. • "What's that?" asked Mary Kate blankly. "That's !shat it's worth to Die." Her incredulous, suspicious look deepened. "You're crazy!" ' "pm not crazy.

Baseballs have been costing the major leagues ap- proximately $160,000 a season, Fran- cis J. Power's informs in a Consolida- ted Press Association dispatch, add- ing that "it is small wonder that club owners are intent upon reducing waste." The use of baseballs, he con dues, has been most prodigal during the past five year's, "reaching the point where players were accustomed to toss out a ball whenever it suited their fancies." Because of this, the American League, according to Mr. Powers, bas this season been trying to reduce waste, and to this end has kept a 'record of the balls used in each game. The figures for the first part of e season are most interesting, the writer assures as he proceeds to a -discus- sion of methods used to keep the cost of balls within reason.• American League. umpires are hand- ed the four dozen balls, obligatory for the home team to supply, before the start of each game. The umpire - in -chief then tapes a portion of the supply and puts it In the box 'near the plate, while the othere are locked in a leather bag, and removed only as needed and by the empire. No balls can be thrown out of an American League until after they have been•inspectetl by ono of the umpires. A player may be dissatisfied with the ball in play, suspect It of being scuff- ed or wingY, but his opinion must be approved by the umpire before a new sphere a put into play. At the start of the seasog, D. S. Barnard, Presi- dent of the American League, issued a bulletin to player's ordering them to keep balls in play as long as pos- sible, and it has been well obeyed. Records for the early part pf the American League season "show that the tremendous waste in baseballs does not comp from home runs, hit out of parks, nor from balls scoffed or scarred in play." Not at all, we are assured, for: The waste comes from bails bit into stands, and since the American League clubs no longer make a ser- ious effort to retrieve those captured by fairs, any ball into the seats is counted as lost. In the first 210 games played by American League clubs—thirty in each city—a total of 6,306 balls were used. Of these 3,574 or more than 60 per cent. were l5'Rt in the grand stands. The greatest number of balls used during the thirty games mentioned was in the Chicago White Sox park, A total of 945 were necessary In the Sox games, and of those 662 were lost in the huge stands that are double - decked around almost the entire play- ing field. In a single game at Com- isky Park, twonty.four were bit into the stands and lost. The smallest number used during the thirty -game period in any one park was 662, and of those 414 disappeared into the seats. Since the minimum number of base- balls used by any American League club in 1929 was 550 'dozen, the 'item of supplying these important sinews for the game is rather a costly one, and the magnates can not be blamed for wanting to practice a bit of neon - only.
