Julian was to be dragged through all the long torture of a trial, tobe sent to prison, not because of what he had down but because Damon could not forgive Nora. And there was nothing Nora could do to save him. Tt was impossible to think of that pale cold woman as loving Nich- olas so madly. It seemed incredible. But life was incredible. The more incredible things were, the more easily they seemed to happen. Nora saw at last that Damon had never loved Jon. Perhaps long ago the two brothers had quarreled over Damon; and that quarrel had | separated them. But now she need think no long- er of Damon. If Jon still loved her, | she began to walk while these thought went whirling through her mind. She was free to do as she chose. Free, free, free! She had been walking so fast, her head bent, that she did not see that a car had drawn up beside her. Jon called out to her. “Get in, Nora, Tl drive you home. - She got in without a word while Jon wrapped the rug about her. He pulled off his gloves and his fin- gers touched her as he drew the rug about her shoulders. She shiy- ered with excitement. He did not say anything until they had left the driveway and were out on the broad state road. “I see it wasn't any use,” Jon said. “No." “What are you going to do?” “There's nothing to do.” “Look here, I'll put up money so that your father can get the best !lawyer. “I'll see the thing through.” { There was something ironica] in 'the idea that Jon would try to de- |fend her father.

Cobb won his first batting championship in his third year with the Tigers, in 1905, with a mark of .350. Simmons just failed to win the crown in his fourth season, with 393 to Harry Heilmann's 398. The ace of the A's crashed to the top in his seventh campaign, last year, beating Lou Gehrig with a figure of .381. THE FIGURES JCobb reached his peak average in his seventh season, 1911, when he hit 420 and followed this up with marks of 410 in 1912 and .300 in 1913. With the advent of the livelier ball, Cobb's percent, from a dip downward, shot up to .389 in 1921 and 401 in 1922. Here's the comparison of Cobb's first seven years at bat with Sim- mons’ performances up to date: COBB 1905 41 games 240 1906 .. 97 games 322 1907 . 150 games. .350 1908 .. 150 games 324 1909 156 games 37 1910 140 games .385 1911 ... 146 games 420 SIMMONS 1024 152 games 308 1925 . 153 games 386 1926 343 147 games Putting the U.
