LAURIE’S SCAPEGRACE

By IZOLA FORRESTER.

Forest. Spring Lodge, had visitors. Laurie, riding up the winding mountain road on her black mare, saw the ascending pillar of smoke above the « trees and carried the news back to the village. “Anybody come on the night train, Walt?*’ she asked the express agent at the little wooden depot. -. Walt recalled two, but they were village people. He listened to her news with a shrewd smile. “Guess they must have run up in a machine. Which one would ye rather it was, Laurie?” Laurie flushed, and tpssed her head in much the same way as the mare did when she was restive. As though she cared which one came up to the Lodge! She knew what Walt meant. For two summers, and in the long hunting season, both of the Gregory brothers had made no secret of their reason for coming up to the Lodge. It was not the deer that led them, nor the partridge and quail. It was Laurie Carrolton, When she reached her own home a horse stood at the gate, unhitched. It raised "his head, whinnering to Vermont Belle. Very deliberately Laurie slipped down to the stable door. Standing within was Emmons Gregory talking to her young brother. "tt’s -so* mighty good to see you again, Lauriq,,’ he said, taking both her 'hands in his. / She drew them back. “d saw the smoke above the frees andtknew someone was there.” “And you wished it was not me.” Under the bantering tone there was an imderlying touch of bitterness. “4 didn’t wish at all. I only wondered who was there.” “Malcolm is with me and a few of the men servants. We expect more the end of the week. Will you ride with me along the river road after lunch?” It was on the tip of her tongue to say - no, but . Hardy forestalled her. He was only eighteen but he stood two. incites above Gregory’s head. “Mother wants you, Laurie,” he said witfi a side glance at his sister’s face. ‘Tm sorry, Mr. Gregory, but I can’t” “You mean you wont.” His tone was almost rough. "Shall I send Malcolmn down?” “You can both keep away,” Hardy spoke up suddenly, his face darkening with quick, boyish anger. “What’s it to Laurie whether you come or go?” “When you get past the cub age, you will' understand that the issue lies with hfcr, not you, lad,” smiled back Emmons, with aggravating courtesy. He raised his cap to Laurie, and went out to his mount. Laurie stood watching him ride up the road. Something in her quiet face, and the expression of her dark eyes checked Hardy’s hilarity. “No, I don’t, not specially, but you’d better keep out of it, dear. I can managed them both.” “You’ll have your hands full, then,’’ grymbled Hardy. - ~ She Bmiled then at 'his emphasis, but during the next few days his words, boyish and crude as they were, came true. The Gregory boys, as everyone around Mount Ranzer called them, had been left with plenty of money, and few restrictions. Their father had treated them experimentally rather than with any affection or real interest. They, were twins, and bad come into their inheritance at twenty-four, when their father died. Five years had been granted them under this will. If at the end of that time they had used their freedom recklessly, and had squandered their money, a trust fund was to be set aside for each, taking in all of the Gregory interests and properties and limiting the boys to a moderate income each. There was one clause in the will whjch had been held back, and was not to be told until the expiration of the live years or in the event of either one marrying. Laurie had always felt a certain responsibility in the matter. She was her mother and it wa» well known around Ranzer that Mollie -Carrollton could have married the millionaire even in her widowhood. They had been sweethearts long before he had found that fortunes grow from using other people’s brains for fuel. Yet she had chosen Laurie’s father, the local editor of the little four-page sheet, in preference. Laurie and Hardy remained to her after their father’s death. And oddly enough, the twins whenever they were at Mount Ranzer, had come to her with all their boyish scrapes. But now, in manhood, they fought their battle out alone. Malcolm had first right. He was the steadier of the two, and by far the better looking. Emmons seemed younger, some way. Hla hair curled at the edges, he was dark with tan and lean and muscular with outdoor exercise. He lacked Malcolm’s balance of character and ease of manner. And between the two was Laurie, winsome and womanly, fall of grace and earnestness. Only her mother seemed to guess at the struggle In her heart those last few days. The two brothers were not on speaking terms, yet neither would give an inch. Long rides they took oyer the mountain roads with while she laughed at them and tried to coax them back to friendship. “Choose one of us, and the other will stand Pkt on the decision, and be friends,”, Malcolm insisted. "But you must qhoose.” “He speaks for himself," Emmons

flung hack hotly. “I would. not be friends with him if you chose him.” That night he rode down to Laurie’s home. It was bright moonlight, a wonderful glowing orange-colored moon mounting slowly behind the ragged edge of woodland. And in its mellow light he standing on the veranda, both her hands resting bh Malcolm’B shoulders, and her face raised to him. Her back was towards him, but he knew every line of her figure, and the light seemed to die out of his life as he gazed at them. He leaned his head down on the old rock wall with a groan. Virginia Creeper covered it, but the vines had hardly one clinging crimson leaf now. And suddenly he heard some one speak his name, Laurie’s voice, a bit tremulous, and startled, “Emmons, what is it?” She put out her hands to him. “I was with Hardy down in the village.” t "Where’s Malcolm?" “I haven’t any idea. Why?” "I saw him there on the porch with you, just now.” “Not with me —with mother.” She laid one hand on his shoulder pityingly.' “You silly boy. Mother was just comforting him.” He caught her two hands close in his crushing grip. “I thought it was you, Laurie. Do you mean you’ve told him —” Laurie nodded. “Do you know what you’ve done, dear heart? I’m the scapegrace. Dad always said I was, and yet he was good to me. I’ve run wild with his money and my life, and now I lose it all and you too.” "Not me, Emmons.” Her face was uplifted to his, but he,, made no attempt to kiss her. “I told Malcolm I had made my choice. He wept straight to mother then. And she knows —I think she knew before I did myself." “But I may be cut off from every share in the old estate.”

“I’m not marrying the estate,” laughed Laurie softly. Half an hour later they stole into the shadowy living room where Mrs. Carrollton sat alone before the op6n fire. She listened to Emmons in silence while Latirie knelt beside her, her face on her shoulder. “It doesn’t seem fair to ask Laurie, to be my wife, though, on account of father’s clause in the will and I know It was put in to keep me straight.” “I happen to know what it says, Emmons boy,” smiled back Mrs. Carrollton, affectionately. “Your father read it to me. Both of you boys are dear to me, so It made no difference which one Laurie chose. The clause merely states that in the event of either one marrying Laurie an extra fifty thousand is added to his share, and the homestead at Mount Ranzer.” Slowly a dawning smile overspread Emmons’ boyish face. He slipped one arm around Laurie and drew her up to him. “Poor old Malcolm,” he said, with deep feeling. (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

DIED WITH HIS ATTACKER

Jaguar, at Least, Had the Satisfaction of- Killing Hia Foe Before He Succumbed. After we struck the main riyer we passed many long sandbars and on one of these Felipe’s ever roving eyes discovered a tiger asleep, says a writer in the Outlook. The jaguar lay stretched out on his belly, hla nose on his paws, the water almost laving the cruel talons of hie front feet. We were about fifty yards away when we first sighted him and I raised the rifle to fire. The canoe rocked a trifle and I lowered the repeater, raisfng it again almost immediately, but Felipe seized my hand, saying: "Don’t shoot, senor, the tiger is dead,” The remarkable intuition of Felipe proved correct, as it had on many a trip into the jungle, but when I asked him how he knew, he merely replied that the tiger looked like he was dead. We landed a yard from the jaguar and saw, crushed in the powerful teeth, the body of a 6nake, something like the water moccasin of the lower Mississip- I pi river. The fangs of the snake were j imbedded in the tiger’s jaw and the reptile’s body was cut completely in i twain. It was as dead as the creature J it had killed, though neither had been dead more than twenty-four hours. According to Felipe, the tiger had come down to the stream to drink and as th» great round head lowered to the water the snake had sent home the deadly poison. According to Felipe, also, a jaguar never runs when he can fight, and tne result lay before us.

Not Seeking Fame.

An official of the Indian bureau at Washington tell* a story to illustrate the Indian’s view of newspaper fame. It appears that one Hanley, a Duluth tlmberman, was in charge of a big drive on the St. Croix river, and that on one occasion there was a tremendous jam in th«( vicinity of Taylor’s Falls. The drivers numbered five or six Indians, in addition to the white men. While proceeding with his work of inspection, Hanley passed the Red men, ana called out to them: "See here, my men! Break that jam and I’ll put youi* names in the paper!” One Indian grinned broadly and said: “Six Indians dead in paper, but we not see it!” —Illustrated Sunday Magazine.

ONE OF MINNESOTA’S POPULAR PLAYERS

CUBANS WITNESS BIG SERIES

Party of Fans, Headed by President of Almendares Baseball Club, See i Giants and Athletics. Cuban “fans” were among the first to arrive here to see the world’s baseball championship series. The leader of the party is Eley Martinez, president of the Almendares baseball club of Havana, and with him were three special correspondents representing Havanna and provincial newspapers as well as a few plain “fans.” Although professional baseball in Cuba 1b really only about two years old, Senor Martinez said that three baseball clubs were now fully established in the <|ity of Havana and tremendous interest in the game and developed, not only from a local standpoint, but also toward the games in the United States. “Of course the national language of baseball is American slang,” said Senor Martinez, “and we use the same terms In describing points of the game. A fly is a fly, and a strike a Btrike. “However, our people have not all caught on to the pronunciation of some of the words in vogue, and you might not recognize what a "hillos” 1b It is the nearest some get to pronouncing a ‘hit.’ The umpire calls ‘one ball’ and not ‘uno bola.’ When there is a dispute over a decision there is apt to be a medley of languages. In the games with the American teams we have one American umpire and the other is a Cuban. “There are several Cuban players who have been doing well in this country on the big league teams. For instance, therq is Marsanß, of the Cincinnati’s, who Is the manager of the Almendares. We call him the ‘Cuban Ty Cobb’ and are very ! proud of him. He ranks second in stealing bases among the big professionals. Then there are two Cubans on the Washington team, Calvo and Acosta, who play ball at home in the winter.”

Lord Made Manager of the Mobile Club

Veteran Ball Player Retires From Service

Jim O’Rourke failed to step to bat in the present American Eastern association season, closing a continuous record of ball playing covering a period of over 36 yearß. This veteran has played in at least one game every year singe joining the National league in 1876. He Is now fifty-eight years old. It was only on the advice of a physician that O’Rourke did not play this year. He was a remarkable ball player in his time, batting over .300 in 13 of his 18 years in fast company. Only three players, Dan Brouthers with 15 times, and Hans Wagner with 14, have passed this mark. Adrian Anson holds the record that will probably stand in all baseball history in this respect, batting over .300 20 consecutive times.

DON'TS FOR FOOTBALL

Player Should Not Get Discouraged Early in the Season. Most Young Players and Many Older Ones Forget That They Have TwoArma —Many Fumbles Caused by Carrying Ball Loosely. * —— The following don’ts for football players were compiled by a writer in the St Paul Pioneer Press. Absorb them, you mole skinners: Don’t become discouraged if you ate not chosen for the so-called“flrat team” early in the season. There is no first or second team at the start By plugging away and working hard you will be selected as a “regular” just as soon as the coach considers you prepared to hold down such a position. Don’t loaf In practice; It’s a bad habit to into and a hard onte to get away from-. Take the work seriously or not at all. Don’t tell you# eoaeh how the game should be played. He Is supposed to know it and will do all of the instructing. Don’t forget to read the rules. Most players neglect to do so and are often “sore” when penalized for committing* a foul. Ignorance of the rules causes more penalties than anything else. Don’t forget that you have two arms. Most young players, and many older ones, lleglect to use the loose arm when carrying thA balL The “stiff arm” is the greatest defense a player has, and its use will often add several yards If manipulated properly. Ward off the tackier, at the tame time throwing your own body aside so as not to lose your stride or overbalance yourself. Don’t carry the ball loosely. Many fumbles are caused by improper carrying. One end of the ball should be chucked into the pocket formed by the bended arm and body and the hand should be spread over the other end of the ball. With the ball thus firmly/ held the other arm la free to use for protection. Don’t be afraid to fall on the ball whenever it Is loose on the ground during play. The average player disregards this rule with disastrous results. A little practice will enable one to fall on the ball In such a way as to eliminate injuries. Don’t “chew the rag” during the game. Remember that your captain is chosen to lead the team and is the only one who is permitted to talk. There are 22 players and if all take time to talk many valuable minutes are wasted. Don’t dispute decisions of the officials. They are selected to enforce the rules and their work is hard enough without additional troubles. It does no good to dispute decisions — let the captain do the conferring or arguing where there is a misunderstanding. The officials are not in a position to see everything that you see and they can see lots of things you can’t see. , Don’t waste time, when on the gridiron, picking out friends on the side lines or in the stands. Your whole mind should be on the game itself. Don’t be afraid to tackle hard when you have a chance. The player who is afraid stands more chance of being injured than one who is fearless. Hit your man hard and low and hold him —don’t let him slip or twist away. Don’t forget to keep your eyes on the ban. Always know where the oval is. This will prevent penalties for starting ahead of the hall, for dffside play, and will often prevent 6pponents from gaining on tricks and passeß. Sometimes by keeping the eyes glued on the ball touchdowns are also prevented.
