the eteaniBlilp Coloula.
It had been n hard-fought mntch. In
which physical condition played not a
small part. Miss Ullcy rather amuse!

chairs on the boat deck by saying:
"You seem to bo pretty tit."

pulsively: "I do believe that' wire."
Her Touch Gave Him an Odd Thrill.
And for cuiphaVla she rested her hand
for a moment on his sleeve. Her
touch gave him an odd thrill.
Miss Riley got up to go to her state
room, and then, as If under the spell
of Impulsiveness, added quite shyly:
"It was good of you to take my part
In the smoking room."

liarin't much to compare It with, ex

a most unhappy comparison, as Mist

thought of It before, but now, foi
some Imperative reason that lie, dldu't

upon him. If she couldn't care, what
then?
"Wo land nt Gibraltar tomorrow."
Win Shute heard a parsing remark
and suddenly It dawned on hltn that
tho day he once bad looked forward
most keenly, but which he hud a
most forgotten, was at hand. At last
he could move ngnlnst his, enemies!
Kow he could establish his Identity!
Out something held hltn back. Miss
Riley wasn't ond of baseball I She
had come to llko "Mr. James," but
would she, a "real swell," ever look
with favor upon Win Shute. prnfes
slonol ball pluyer? Ho shook his head
gloomily.
Looking upon the much-advertised
rock next day, he wasn't at all Impa
tient to leave tho ship,
"Going ashpro?" Inquired a voice at
his sldp. It was Jed Mtftiscl.Mio wire
less operator.
"S'pose so," answered Shute with
out show of .enthusiasm.

Never before hnd Jorrold Mansel of
fcred to do him a favor. Their only
contact nfter the drat day's consulta
tion over tho wireless messages had
come In rivalry overMlM Illley's time
Now tho hero of the Regent was brim
ful of friendliness. Win Shute's sus
picions nlrcady sufficiently nroused
regarding Mansel, were considerably
augmented by this urgent Invitation
Rut ho smiled as) he might hnvc done
In facing a pitcher who had something
"on" him.
"Thnnfc you I've no time for sight
seeing. I have somo business to at
tend to here."
Win Shuto was off the ship among
the very first before tho wireless op
orator; ho saw to thnt. Ho hired n
conveyance and ordered the driver to
make tracks for tho cable office.
"If you get there before anybody
from the ship I'll gtvo you double
fnrol" promised Shute nnd ho had
to.
He wrote out a-long message to Trls
Ford, explaining In detail what had
happened to him nnd how ha had done
,hli best to communlcnte by wireless,
nnd how he stood over the operator
while he sent It. Then he nsked how
long It would take to get an answer.
"From two to six hours," was the
reply.
"I'll wait," announced Shute.
"Rut don't you want to see the
fortifications?" nsked the operator.
"Vou will have ample time."
"I want to see nothing except the
reply to that message," replied Shute,
slt'Jng down and making Jilmself com
fortablo for n long wnlt.
After six hours of waiting, the oper
ator handed him a cubit? dispatch. It
read:
"Ford out of town. Report to-American
coustjl, Naples. Do you jievd
money?"
It was signed by the club's secre
tary. He cabled In answer to address him
care of the consul at Naples. He did
not ask or money. And lie went back
to the ship In no hilarious frame of
mind. His team had lost the world's
championship the plot against Kim
hud been thoroughly successful! And
he was no nearer spotting his en
emies tbnn he was before going ashore.
And Miss Riley didn't care for base
ball t This seemed to cap the climax.
Strange how values chango In a voy
age across the Atlantic.
Aboard ship he ran upon the ship's
doctor and tho wireless operator In
close confnb. Win Shute was not cu
rious until he caught the doctor's
words:
"The Glant-klllera lost. I see by the
Dispatch, and you won. I'll pny you
when we get paid off."
"My tip was pretty good." odmltted
Jed Mansel. "I made quite a killing.
Cleaned up two thousand dollars."
"Two thousaiid?" repeated the doc
tor. "You were lucky.' k
"Not lucky wise," corrected Man
sel, winking slyly. "I knew that one
of the Giant-killers' best men couldn't
piny."
Win Shute was certain. The wire
ess operator was a crook. Ho was a
party to the devilish conspiracy that
had dmgged aud put him away on
the ship!
Rage such as he had never felt in
all his life consumed him. He could
not curb his de'slre to hurl himself up
on Mansel nnd beat hltn to Insensibili
ty. Hut as ho was on his toes to
spring, a restraining hand wus luld
upon tils arm.
It was Miss Riley. "Muy I speak
to you, please?"
Reluctantly Win Shute turned from,
his enemy. He and Miss Riley walked
along tho deck until they wcro out
of hearing of everybody,
"I looked for you before the pass
engers went ashore," she said. "You
see," she went on, then faltered
"you see 1 wanted to ask a favor of
you." She stopped.
The ship's mystery unaccountably
flashed across Win's mind I Rut he
didn't pause a second In replying;
"Surel Ask something hard., Wish
I could do -a real big favor, for you."
"You cnn. I hove n queer feeling
that something Is going to happen,
it's perfectly silly, of course, hut
If something should, will you look'nf
ter mother? Sho is so devoted to me
and so dependent ou me that 1 don't

tered. "1 sure will and look after you,
too," answered Win,
"That's no good of you. Rut don't
trouble iihout in p. It's mother I'm
worried about." Then with a look of
unconcealed admiration shu concluded;
"But I feel better now. It seemed
to me that you wero tho only one
ou the ship thnt I could go to the
only one I wutited to trait mother
to."
Is'oiwlthstnndlng tho bitter disap
pointment of the day, Win Shuto
went Into dinner thnt night with n
heart as buoyant ns u toy balloon.
He wns planning n walk and a talk
by southern moonlight with Miss
Riley.
Rut nil evening aha paced tho deck
In earnest conversation with Jerrold
Mansel.
Win Shuto figured out to his own
satisfaction why things wcro thus. He

wireless messages ho hnd seen Man

taking this means to keep In touch
with her. Whereas n steward would
carry Marconlgntms to other passen
gers, Jed Mansel Invariably delivered
Miss -Riley's messages himself. Nat
urally this attention would bo recog
nized by nn appreciative person like
Miss Riley.
That Jcrrold Mansel wns downright
crooked, there wasn't much doubt.
But Win hnd to admit that his proof
was far from conclusive. Trls Ford's
wireless was a fake hut there wat
the possibility of faking somewheru
along the line of transmission. Mou
se) had bet heavily against tho (Hunt
killers but so had thousands of oth
er persons. The operator's remark
about the player who would be missed
from the line-up was strong circum
stantial evidence against hltn and
still It could hnve been n "second
guess;" he might hnve heard after
the series that one of the best men
had been out of the game. Certainly
there wasn't enough solid proof to
warrant Win Shuto In denouncing the
wireless operator.
And If he did If ho warned Miss
Riley against Jerrold Mansel It
would Involve a disclosure of the fact
that he. James U'lnton Shute, was n
professional baxehall player. He
wasn't ready to make that admission.
The fact that the tlnost girl didn't enre
a hang for the nntlonnl pastime con
stituted a mighty serious problem. It
wasn't pleasant to continue to mas
querade as "Mr. James," but It was
an Incognito enforced. So things were
permitted to drift.
It wns moonlight on the Mediter
ranean, the last night but one of Win
Shute's long voyage to Naples from
unconsciousness. He had started out
to act the part of a "trusty" to do
nothing against the captain's author
ity, but secretly to work toword one
end. namely, tho circumvention of his
enemies. After a fortnight at sen, al
though he was naturally Interested In
hs own cii.se. he had lost much of
his violent ungnr against thoso who
hud forced him to become n passenger
on the ship. For If they hadn't If he
had remained nt home he would not
hnve met tho flnoit girl I As Tils Ford
would have suld: "There ain't will

HIGH-CLASS HORSES NEEDED
No Provision Mads for Future by)
Many Farmers Who Are Using
Up Their Work Stock.
Tho thing most needed In the pro

farms Is greater euro In the selection
of tho stallion and tho brood mnre,
say ntilmnl husbandry experts of the
United States department of agricul
ture, who hnve been studying the pres
ent sltuntton with respect to horses.
Not only was there n not decrease of
approximately .'173.000 In tliu number
of horses on farms on January 1, com
pared with a year ago, but the experts
tiro of tho opinion that there has been
nn even more marked decrease In tho
number of mares bred during 1011).
Tho extent of this decreuso cannot bo
accurately dKcrmtucd until tho coll
crop of 1020 Is estimated. However,

Many fanners nre using up their
work stock without making any pro
vision for tho future. Such a policy
Is short-sighted and will have serious
results, according to department of
agriculture representatives. The pres
ent need Is to Increase tho percentage
of efficient horses by careful selection
of parents. One of tho principal fac
tors from which, the market Is suffer

grade work animals. There Is n strong
demntid for high-class horses, nt good
