Chum Bob’s Sporting Talk New York , May 3—When there is nothing else to write about, it _is al- ways easy to criticize the umpires Boone is coming in for a share of the critic stuff be- | cause he says he does not bend his knees when he goes after a ground ball. As a matter. of fact, none of the best fielders do bend their knees, It is the uncertain player who wants to click his heels and bend his knees. The man who is sure of himself simply widens his distance and is in a position to reach freely for freak bounds to his right or left, even if some balls do trickle through his legs.

General Headquarters, British | Army, France, May 3—Barney Old- field’s old mechanic, Harry Breen, ]wlm has swept around the track with him on the Indianapolis speed- way and elsewhere in the United States, is now driving a car for a British staff officer at the front. He says the excitement of being under shell fire has the automobile racing game beaten. Breen hails from Pittsbirgh, Pa., where he was born forty-one years | ago of a Danish mother and British | ye: {father. The British father was the lever that got Breen into the British army. Leaving a prosperous gar- age business in Pittsburgh, he hur- ried to England and enlisted. His qualities as expert machanic and skilfull, fearless driver insured in- stant service at general headquar- Itors. where such men are at a prem- 'ium. The superb country roads of | France, which are kept in a remark- able state of fitness notwithstand- ing the war, gives Breen an oppor-‘ tunity for imagining he is still with Oldfield on the track trying to break a record.

By NORMA EVERETT DEANE. (Copyright, 4915, by W. G. Chapman.) Lawyer Abel Doyce loved money. His office man, Vance Merton, despised it. The latter had seen his employer grow selfish and mean under the malign influence of the god of gold. More than that, young Merton had known the hateful power of money in other forcible instances. His father bad been rich. Within a week Vance had seen his entire fortune dissipated In & reckless speculation. Then those who had courted the Mertons turned their backs on them. Worse than that, the girl whom Vance fancied he loved coldly repelled him. Bitter in a way, but infinitely wiser, Vance had ignored the society that had deluded him. He had gone to work for Lawyer Doyce, knowing him to be a close, penurious man, but rath- er liking him because he was consis- tent in his faults. Doyce made no bypocritical claims to philanthropy or moral merit. They got along pretty well together. Vance made and saved 8ome money. He had a mental vision he hoped to make true some day; go “far from the madding crowd” and in some pret- ty countryside, where hearts were not polluted, lesd a peaceful, happy life, undisturbed by the promptings of am- bition and unassailed with hypocrisy, envy, meanness. “Big case, Merton,” briskly an- nounced the wizened old limb of the law one morning “That 80?" nodded Vance, in his | quiet, undemonstrative way. “Yes. Heiress wanted. Orphan girl. Not a big estate—probably only twen- ty thousand dollars, but there’s a good | thing. “All right, give me the details.” Tlfese were simple. One Eunice Purcell was sole inheritor of the es- tate of a deceased uncle. Miss Pur- cell had left her native town five years previous. No trace of her gince. Vance started on his quest. He was a good deal of a thinker, and as well considerable of a detec- tive. Within a week he was close on the trail of the much-wanted heiress. A poor, humble girl, Eunice Purcell, bad gone out into the world to earn her own living. Vance located her at several towns. In all of these she had secured work as seamstress, clerk in dry goods stores, in one instance as companion to a wealthy lady. Vance took additional interest in the case, as everywhere he received pleased eulo- glums upon her sweet simplicity and sterling integrity of character. Final- ly he had a sight of her photograph. He did not exactly fall in love with its original, but, in a longing, speculative way he wondered if that fair face be- led its owner, if, as it seemed from the clear eyes, a prompting heart, true and lovable. inspired that nurnctlvvl friendly gleam. i At length the arduous quest of the Investigator was rewarded. At a quaint little country town Vance Merton lo- cated the missing heiress. He spent several days in making inquiries. He watched from a distance the modest young girl, who was working as a seamstress. He had fancied in the past that he loved a woman. He knew better now, for real affection filled his soul and glorified his nature. Then Vance Merton did a selfish He neglected his mission, he forgot .all about his duty to Lawyer Doyce. Here was a fresh, charming girl unspoiled Ly experience, content and happy in an humble sphere of life. What might not the possession of wealth and luxury and idleness do to change that sterling nature? Vance secured an introduction to the object of his esteem. He courted her, he learned that her modest sensible tastes were akin to his own. He pro- posed and was accepted He ignored Lawyer Doyce as thor- oughly as though he were totally for- gotten. Vance managed to get hig savings together. He bought a sweet little home and they settled down to I love in a cottage. Perhaps six monthg had gone by when something occurred.
