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.

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 homo, tho viinnpr on second logs It to third. Hut he doesn't stop keeps right on running, and well, somehow or other tho pitcher or It might bo the catcher, If It was u short bunt seeing' that tho first limn Is hound to icoro and fearing ho won't get nny nut-out. throws tho hall lo first to head off the hatCfr. And thu second man scores l' "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 ing' tho squeeze," ndded Trls Ford 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 NoIuV nerve of It!" "Who gnvo him nway?" Interjected the nmbnssndor. "Why they hnd to have a double for their victim some ono to mas querade as Shute. That's where they fell down picked tho wrong man. The 'dummy' couldn't stnnd prosper ity. After he left tho hotel with his pockets full of money he started In to make n night "f It kept the taxi and blew In most of his money, then got In n row with the tnxl driver over the fare. Twnan't so hard to trnce him after that. Ho 'gavo up' to the secret service men." (To Bo Continued.)

WATER VALUE IS EXPLAINED DRY RANGE CHANGED INTO FARMS (Sirnt Productivity of Hull Made Possible In (.'n( nil Oregon By Irrigation, But Hugo Trad Still Without Moisture. 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 nud sheep. Tho thought of over KtpwIiiK crops In what Is now Des chutes county wiih ridiculed at that time and tho writer remembers 11 discussion between two gentlemen, who were suro, nt thut tlmo, that po tutoes could never bu grown success fullyln Central Oregon. Last your ono four-ncro Mold yield ed 700 sacks of potatoes nnd tho 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 tor." Without wnter tho country would soon rovert to Its former con dition. Tho ranches nnd homos, tho fields nnd gardens would disappear nnd again tho desort would como Into Its own. Irrigation tins made Central Ore gon what It Is today, nnd on tho de velopment nnd completion of tho un completed projects doponds what Contral Oregon 'will bo tomorrow. Thoro nro several successful Irri gation projects In Central Oregqn operntlng at tho present tlmo. The crops producod on theso projocts nro proof positive of whnt tho balanco of tho unlrrlgatcd land can do, nnd will do, when It Is finally brought undor water. Hence tho construc tion of tho contemplated Irrigation projects ot tho upper Deschutes has In, particularly thoso tributary to Bond, within Crook nnd Deschutes counties, It not n vonturo attended with tho risks thnt usually accom pany tho building of now Irrigation systoms In localities whore no irriga tion construction and no Irrigation farming has been carried on, In tho enso of tho Doschutes project, lauds Identical In soil conditions with thoso which wo hope will soon bo Ir rigated have boon farmed success fully for a number of years. Tms crops, tho plant food conditions, tho methods of handling tho soil nnd wa ter nro well known, nnd this will guarnntoo against fnlluro tho success of tho contemplated projocts nnd tho settlors who eventually colonlro them. This should bo borno In mind whon future Irrigation dovolopmont In Orogon is considered. Projects huvo been built in tho past which havo not boon entirely successful, duo to tho fact that no ono know Just how tho soil would bohnvo under Ir rigation, what tho water require ments would bu, and what results In tho way of farming could bo expect ed. In ContrnI Oregon tho con struction onglnoor, tho Irrigation bond buyer nnd tho prospective set tlor can visit 700 farms In Dorjchutos county, farmed for n number of years by actual, practical farmors, whore ho can soo demonstrated all that ho needs to know regarding tho Irrigation ot tho lands of tho now project. Possibilities Great. During tho past year tho Contral Orogon Irrigation company dollvored water to about 32,000 acres of land, 22,000 of which woro In cultivation, The valuo of tho crops produced on this land, as shown In tho company's report, Is $1,308,077. Tho valuo of thoso lands has boon placed nt $3, 307,431. Pretty good for land that once raised principally sago brush, Junipers and Jackrabblts.
