"You've never told mo your name,"
he urged.
"Mother always calls me 'Girlie,"
she responded, half In fun.
"I know hut I never wns strong for
pet names In public, I mean. Tell
me your real name."
She wns plainly embarrassed. It
was a perfectly Justifiable question,
nnd there was no reason, which he
could see. why she should hesitate.
Yet she did.
"I'm not coins to use It till you
want me to." v
"Oh, It's not that not that nt all.
I'd bo glad to have you call me
Imogen. It's Imogen."
"Imogen Itlley." repeated Win.
"Say, that's some nnme. If I'd named
you myself, I'd have called yos
Imogen."
"Mother will be glud." And she
laughed.
"Now, what's your namcT" she
asked.
It was his turn to be "fussed" and
to hesitate. "My middle name's Win
ton most everybody calls me Win."
"I supitosc because you always do."
"Till now I have."
She edged nway a trifle.
"Wlnton James Is an excellent
name," she declared. "I don't believe
I would have It anything else."
He kicked the rail with his toe. It
wns an Impatient kick. Masqucrndcrl

She pointed to tho lights, myriads
of lights, bobbing on tho shipping In
tho harbor and stretching high up to
the summits of Monte Pernldo, where
they lost their Identity In the winking

"Dut tomorrow we go to Naples.

wistfully.
"Don't speak of tomorrow," she
(hastened to say.
"No," ho agreed. "Wo have tonight

"Yes," she whispered.

began to wag and heads turn In excite

Pulling Off the Play.
Win Shute hnd boon Jolted nt Genoa.
Another, but more ngrcentilo surprise
nwalted him nt Naples. After tho Co
lonla, hnvlng cut n white lane across
tho cobalt Bay of Naples, was ma
neuvering to dock, he saw on the
wharf, scanning every face looking
down from the big black ship Trls
Ford.
As Win Shuto learned nftenvnrd.
the manager of the Giant-killers had
kept his objective n secret from every
living soul snvo his wlfo. Kvcn tho
club olllclnls supposed, for several
days that the manager had slipped
quietly out of tho city to rest after the
hardest fought diamond battle In the
records of the national game. The
secrctnry had been told to reply to
nny cablegram from Win Shute .In
one way: to say that Trls Ford win
out of town, nnd to urge the second
baseman to remain on hoard until the
ship called at Naples, where he would
be met by the American consul. The
big scries ended on Tuesday, and nt
1 h. r.i. next morning Trls Ford, under
the nom de mer of Anson .Tone, hnd
sailed on the Lauretanln. The follow-,
Ing Monday morning he landed at
Fishguard, boarded the special train
for Dover, crossed the cantankerous
chnnnel, and arrived In Paris In the
afternoon. Ford left the Gnre de Lyon
nt ten o'clock that night, and after a
night, n day, and n second night on
tho train arrived In Home early Tues
day morning. The Colonln wasn't due
nt Naples until the next day. He wns
nt the palace leased by the lion. John
Btsracr, American ambassador to Italy,
before thnt Chicago millionaire hnd
finished his uncontlncntnl breakfast of
fruit, oatmeal, ham nnd eggs, nnd
coffee, eaten to the accompanying pe
rusal of the Continental Dally Mall.
The ambassador was expecting
TRIStram CnrllngFORD. John Ills
mcr's boss, the president of the Unit
ed States, wns a th'rty-thlrd-degree
fan; also, the White House staff were
fans down to the clerk who Addressed
the soclnl Invitations; and when the
asslstanco of Washington hnd been
solicited In the hunt for tho king of
second basemen and tho pursuit of
his kidnapers, all other government
business, foreign nnd domestic, wns
shunted Into second place. President
Bancroft of the American league af
terward observed that not for naught
had be been distributing annual passes
In Morocco leather cases to the execu
tive branch of the government.
So If Ambassador Blsnier succeeded
In rendering valuable fcervlce In the
search and capture, he would bu cer
tain of more official favor even than
when he secured the contracts for two
Chinese battleships for Ynnkeo ship
builders his one real diplomatic tri
umph. Which explains why he wns
more than cordial In his greeting of
the manager of the Galnt-klllers.
As In 4ll of the pourparlers of di
plomacy, fho Interview between John
iilsmer nud Trls Ford wns some time
arriving at the main point. Ford had
to piny over the world series for the
ambassador's benefit before he could
get down to tho business nt hand.
"What n-heartbreaking finish 1" ex
claimed the ambassador "deciding
garni' score 1 to 0 ngulnst you men
on second and third nobody out
nnd you mean to tell mo you couldn't
squeeze a run across the pinto?"
Trls Ford wns llternl-mlnded when
tnlklng baseball. Ho took It that the
ambassador used squeeze In the tech
nical sense that he mimnt to nsk why
the "squeeze play" hndnjt been at
tempted. "You'd naturally think wo'd 'a' tried
tho squeeze, now wouldn't you?" snld
Ford. "It was a great chance for It
for our donblo squeeze, In fact."
"You got me." confessed tho ambas
sador. "What on earth's tho 'double
squeeze'? Must have como In slnco I
put on velvet pants,"
John Blsmer laughed at his own.
Joko on the diplomatic service, as did
Trls Ford.
"It's this way," explained Ford.
"You have n man on second and a man
on third, and nobody out, we'll say."
"Just tho situation In the seventh
game of the world series," wnphuslzed
the ambassador.
Trls Ford noddPd and went on:
"You also hnvo a man at bat who Is
a natural hunter. Well, the batter
signals to the base runner on third
hitches up his trousers, or some such
ordinary signal as that. Then when
the pitcher begins to wind up, the
man on third breaks for tho plate
comes sailing Inlo what looks like a
sure putout. But the batsman reaches
out and taps the ball If you pull off
the play nnd tho man scores! You
see n hall knocked to pitcher, or half
way even, will bo enough to 'squeeze'
the man across thp plate, because he's '
got such a long start."
"I seol" exclnlined tho ambassador,
his Vi'iw 3liHutrt 'i.iiO"ii"unKi"r 'U
American hoy. "Hut what about tho
dOUblO BqUPCRO?"
"I'm Just coming lo thnt," aid
Ford, smiling. "Taking Iho same play
when tho man on third starts for

"Couldn't tho pllchor get Hie sec
ond man nt tho pinto?" nsked tho am
bassador excitedly.
"Suro ho could," grinned Ford;
"why the second linso runner Isn't
more than halfway homo when tlte
pitcher fields the ball."
"Then why In Sam I1IIJ doesn't the
galoot throw to the plate?"
"You toll me," said Ford. "That's
the queer pnrt of It. Of course tho
crowd Is yelling llko maniacs; tho
lnnn scoring first Is upsetting, and the
deslro to get at least 0110 man on the
play, overwhelming nil thai, I sup
pose. Anyhow, wo tried tho piny
seven times last season and got nway
with It nil but once. That time the
batter failed to conned with the ball,
nnd the first man was an ensy out."
"Now you've explained It so a worn
nn or n foreigner could understand,
tell mo why you didn't try It nt the
crisis of the world a championship."
"Because the man nt hat couldn't
bunt nnd wo didn't have a sure
hunter to substitute. The mnn who
would hnvo batted hail hu been In tho
game Is the best In tho country at pull

sadly.
"You don't mean"
"Win Shute yes, I do," finished
Ford.
"And If lie'd been In tho game, you'd
have won It?"
"Nine dinners out of ten we would."
"So losing Shute lost you the world
series?"
"Lost us tho world' chnmploushlp
there ain't nothing to thnj."
"The skunks 1" exrlnlmed tho am
bassador. "Those kidnapers ought to
be strung up I"
"Ought to be," agreed Ford. "Hut.
as far as I'm concerned, all ( want Is
to put thb chief crook In stripes
Jake Stinger, the New York gambler."
"You've got some of the gang, I un
derstand from Washington."
"Yes the secret service men got
hold of a fellow who squealed."
"How'd they work the dirty trick?"
"They faked up n newspaper syndi
cate Transcontinental headquar
ters New York, engraved stationery,"
recounted Trls Ford, "nnd offered Shute
big money to report tho world series.
Naturally he accepted, so they sent n
man to Phlllle to arrange details. He
wa8Uppoed to arrive the day be
fore"the series opened, but was actual
ly there .a week earlier nt our bsst
hotel, spending phoney, paying til
checks with cash, nnd scattering coin
In tips until he was solid with all the
hotel people. Called himself 'Walter

"Who gnvo him nway?" Interjected
the nmbnssndor.
"Why they hnd to have a double

The 'dummy' couldn't stnnd prosper

By It. A. Wind.
(Written for Tho tloml llulletln.)
Twenty years ago, old stockmen
still living In yrlnovlllo and Tho
Dalles, rounded up horsos In vicin
ity of what Ih now tho city of Bond,
nnd thu surrounding territory,
known In thoso days ns tho "desert,"
furntsuod excellent rnngo for cnttlo

KtpwIiiK crops In what Is now Des

time and tho writer remembers 11
discussion between two gentlemen,
who were suro, nt thut tlmo, that po
tutoes could never bu grown success

Last your ono four-ncro Mold yield

value of agricultural products pro
ducod on tho ranches of Deschutes
county amounted to $2,105,000. Tho
Investment in farms, livestock nud
agricultural machinery was Just a
fow thousand short of 10,000,000.
Whnt iiuiilo nil this wonlth pos
sible? What transformed a desert
cow range Into u garden spot, with
hundreds of happy homes and ranch
es nt present producing wonlth nt
tho rnto of $2,000,000 per annum?
Ihftcrt ltaugo Transformed.
Tho Bocrot of tho transformation
Is contained In tho single word, "wn

would soon rovert to Its former con

fields nnd gardens would disappear
nnd again tho desort would como Into

Thoro nro several successful Irri

Possibilities Great.
During tho past year tho Contral

22,000 of which woro In cultivation,
The valuo of tho crops produced on
