' PAGE TEN Ta ~ AlLove Math That Was Broken Off and Happily Renewed. By MARTHA M'C.-WILLIAMS. Janey Gates was the beauty of the ane Creek neighborhood. Even Sjster Meakins admitted as much in spite of robust prejudice. Janey would have likewise the belle if it had pot been accepted as a fact ever since she "put up ber Bair and let down her frocks iat she was, in neighborhood phrase, A Phil Mayben square headed, who cared noth- for looks unless they dealt with figures. At figures he was marvelously quick and clever--so clever it was noth. 'bred, while he knew .nothing higher than the neighborhood academy. Possibly it was a triumph of this sort which had first incited the present schoolmaster, Leonard Trabue, Esq. to try conclusions with him in the field of Miss Janey's favor. Janey loved books In the freshest, most whole hearted fashion. Trabue could talk books by the bour and talk very well Naturally be found himself welcome at the Gates homestead. Quite as nat- urally Phil Mayben resented his pres- ence there and showed it outright, aft- er the manner of a masterful man erazlly in love. Thus by fate and free will and the obligation of hospitality Janey was in a manner forced to take Trabue's part. The result was a very pretty quarrel and the transfer of Phil's atteritions to Miss Dora Meakins. There had been no set engagement to break. T'hgt made Phil's attitude all the more aggravating. Janey was for months bitterly unhappy over the rupture, although she let nobody see it, not even her mother. Outwardly she was gayer than ever and so charming Leonard Trabue quite lost his head. He had meant at first only to punish that pestilent fellow, May- ben--in¢identally, of course, to divert himself and pass time otherwise heavy on his hands. Teaching was merely a stop gap. Literature was his chosen vocation, He meant to enter upon it through the gnte of newspaper work as soon as he could scrape tbgether a few hundred dollars. The Gateses 'were not rich folk, but still comfortably off, and Janey an only child. It is but just to say the fact bad ttle to do with Trabue's falling in love. That came upon him unawares. But once he had realized his frame of affections he took full cognizance of it. Might it not be easier to make himself immortal even here in the deep country, with a charming wife and assured comfort, than out in the hustle and hurly burly of a city? To settle it out of hand he proposed plumply to Janey. He was dazed to get a refusal, most tearful, Next week the county paper printed, with flattering comments, a love rhyme signed "Leofric.," Cane Creek read it use reading the paper thoroughly 'was certainly the part of thrift, if not | over her shoulder, she added: | i al | | of Christian duty. Still, it felt no cu- | riosity as to the authorship until the - rural press quite generally copied and praised the rhyme. A second bit of verse got reprinted in three city pa. pers, 80 upon the appearance of the | | { third Leofric's identity became a burn- | ing question, one that the editor him- self could not answer. All he knew 'was that the copy came to him by the | hand of Mr. Murdock, a leading law- yer. *° 3 All winter long Leofric wrote inter mittently, becoming more and more a riddle and a personage, All winter long, too, Phil Mayben ate Sunday din- ners at the Meakins' table, and Leon- ard Trabue talked-bocks and the world to Janey Gates. He was playing a waiting game, resolved to win her in spite of herself and Phil Mayben, Japey's heart was singularly stead- fast. Sdll, there were times when she thought Trabue would succeed. 'Phil's golug bad left her desolate indeed. He conid vever have cared as he pretend- ed or he would pot be able to stay away, Of course she could not make the first move to reconciliation, espe cially since he was sa taken up with the Meakin generation.

Phil said, bursting through the crowd to catch Janey in his arms and hide her blushes in his breast. "I know I've been seven kinds of a fool," he went on. "I don't déserve Janey-- nobody dges, for that matter--but I'm going to have her or die trying" "You've got her" Lawyer Murdock said, wringing Phil's band.

Ancient Egyptian Mortgage.

Overall Wordecal Brown's Hook Curve end How It ls Delivered. Hugh 8 Fullerton, writing in the American Magazine about the "Won. ders of Pitching," says of "Three Fin. gered" Brown, the star twirler of the Cubs: \ "Beyond doubt Mordecal Brown's book curye is the highest develop- ment of the fast overhand ball which curves down and out, as all good curves do. Brown has but two entire fingers on his right hand and oaly fractions of the others. His first fin- ger is cut off short, and the middle finger is wrecked so that the first joint turns almost at right angles toward his thumb. Pertfaps this mutilated hand is the secret of his marvelous curves, Brown pitches the hook over- band, releasing the ball at gradbated points after the hand passes the line of the center of the body in swinging. Upon the point at which the ball is released by the fingers the place of the 'break' depends; and Brown can by regulating the point of release make it either describe a wide, fast arc or, after traveling fifty feet, break suddenly at a sharp angle from its original course. If the batter retires to the back of the batter's box Brown, by releasing the ball a flash sooner, can make it break in frout of the bdt- ter, almost over the plate. If the bat. ter moves to the front of the box to meet the curve before it breaks a sud- den jerk of the pitcher's wrist makes the ball break several feet in front of the plate. He controls the, point of the ak or curve at will, except when the ball slips, as it sometimes will do bhétween "batter and pitcher concede all, but no. member of the Detroit team in the world's champiogship series of 1908 will acknowledge that Brown is bet- ter. In the game that Overall pitched, the final one of the series, his curve broke in such an astonishing manner as to surprise even himself, Overall pitches his curve with a wide, sweep- ing, overhand swing, releasing the ball over the side of his index finger just as his hand turns downward."
