UR everchanging seasons have surely been responsible in part for our ever-varying fashions, If Paris enjoyed as even a temperature as Betmuda, if London were as consist enfly frigid as lapland or if New Yotk were as persistently torrid as Hafti, we should not expect to find theme cities the source of many ney fads and*fashions.

Rows of houses and stores, a school- church, a park—and all empty and as silent as the grave. “Let's get away from here as soon shivered Marian. “This place gives me the creeps.” Her cousin smiled at her with a superior air. “I guess the first sight of a deserted mining town does make one ‘feel like seeing ghosts, but I'm used to it."" She slowed down a little, to impress her timid cousin from the house, a as we can, “Tt's like Goldsmith’s ‘Deserted Vil- ge',” remarked Marian. “You have feeling that some witch's spell st have carried all the people away d left this dead city.” ‘My, voure frightfully romantic,” miled Estelle. “You live here in the West a while and you'll get over that.

When they reached home, the dep- uty sheriff from Ogle County was sit- ting on the porch with Estelle’s fa- ther.

The other one used to be a rancher himself. Then he was a fancy stock breeder. He st his money speculating, fell in with this other fellow, and started on a long stretch of law-breaking.” “Don't soare poor Marian gour stories about bandits,” continually ‘with inter- rupted Estelle. wilder than we are But Marlan was brooding, with her hand supporting her slender chin “Of course he would,” she said half- aloud “Would what?” demanded Estelle Marian flushed. “I was just think- ing aloud,” she said. Then she turned to the deputy sheriff. “I'll bet you anything that your bandits are in Silver City,” she announced “Prob- ably in the last house before you come to the general store.” They all looked at her in astonish ment. “Oh, I've been through Silver City,” replied the deputy sheriff, “to make sure there wasn't anybody hid ing out there.

Marfan_smiled her smile. “T'd bet most perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway, won't you take a chance on combing the Dlace with a fine-tooth comb—and es pectally the house I spoke of?” stelle was irritated and tried to change the subject, thinking Marfan was trying to be “smart.”” But the deputy” sheriff was eyeing Marian keenly. And the upshot was that when he took some cowboys from the ranch to Slver City and discovered the bandits in a cleverly concealed cave under the basement of the very house Mar- fan had pointed out, Estelle was ut- terly speechless. “Well, young lad the deputy sheriff twinkled at Marian, “when ar vou going to town to claim your re- ward?” First I'm going to Silver City.” announced Marfan, “and bring back that poor dog. When you said the bandit was once a stock faneier, I was sure he knew and loved good dogs, too, and couldn’t resist the temptation of stealing the one that gave him away.” “She’ll think us much most winning anything, but A Long Run.

(This is the third of a series of ti on base ball by Al Demaree, formerly pitcher with the New York Glants. These articles are written especially for boys who want to learn to play base ball right.) To throw a base ball with bullet- like speed and accuracy for a dis- tance of 60 feet—so fast, in fact, that a batter cannot swing quickly enough to hit it—is the aim of every pitcher. Walter Johnson, hero of the 1924 world series, is one of the greatest fast ball pitchers of all time. He has been able to add to his remarkable speed and control a ball thrown in such a manner as to cause it to rise slightly about the time it crosses the plate. This ball as the “jump” ball an overhan t the wrist a quick snap ball leaves the hand.

The sound ceases not from sunrise to sunrise. The alien ears in the Foreign City grow used to its curous continuity, its queer-cadenced harmony. Gongs, bells, drums, flutes, trombones, those myriad heralds of the street-venders, mingle with human voices bass and treble,the velping of dogs, the braying of asses, the clatter of rickshaws, wagons, carts, the patter of feet. The stream of sound is as endless as the eternal blue tide of people. Above the wall, to the dwellers below, is wafted the scent of China—the dust of the ages, the acrid aroma of camel caravans the pungency of sandalwood, the cloy ing ofliness of fried food, the spicy scent of cinnamon and cedar, the yel- low bitterness of opium, with heavenly whiffs of jasmine tea and tea-olive and the phantom fragrance of almond and plum—vile smells, heavenly odors, a “potpourri” to disgust, to allure! * % ox % L VERY afternoon at 4, when flocks of plgeons rise above Peking and music from the bamboo whistles cleverly attached to them floats earthward like the sigh of a soul re- leased, the plaintive notes bring no melancholy to the toys in the cosmo- polis below.
