An emissary of the Russian court came to the young king, laid certain proposals before him and submitted a portrait in oils of the royal lady. "King Charles, after a close scrutiny, said: " 'This portrait flatters overmuch. The eyes are too large and brilliant, the hair too abundant, the complexion tod flower-likand the neck and arms too beautiful altogether.'

Inquired the sweet-face- d old lady as she set down another chicken sandwich and a glass of milk on the porch rail. "You do not look like an ordinary tramp," , His breast heaved with emotion. "Madam," he declared, ravenously attacking the sandwich, "I am .not a common hobo. I am a man with a past. Once whole cities bowed down and worshiped me. I was a Hon." "Tell me about It. Maybe I can help you to regain what you have lost," she suggested, kindly. "No, madam," he said hopelessly. "It is too late. But I don't mind telling you about it, although it Is a bitter tale. I was center gardener for the old Red Legs, madam, In the days when Pop Anderson and Rrouthers and all of those old heroes were In their prime." A tear dropped from his eye and rolled down his grimy cheek. ' "The world was very rosy then," he went on washing down the last of the sandwich with a swallow of nnik. "It was all floral horseshoes and silver showers for me, and whenever I trotted out in a practice heat I got the glad hand and the merry yell. I had my picture in all the papers and I had millions carrying :uy sweater and hel-Inme on with my coat. I was a sticker, too, and whenever I came up to the pan the fielders got way out and the pitcher sent 'em In wide to keep me from lammln' 'em on the nose for a homer." "I don't know that I quite understand," she said. "Lammln' 'em on the nose for a homer means puttln' 'em over the pickets for four sacks," he explained, making It all clear. "It was easy for me in those days, ma'am. When I swung at one everybody ' breathed hard and waited for 'em to go over the fence and hunt for it. The ump always got ready to toss up a fresh one when he saw me at the pan." "But how did you come to to get down on your luck?" she interrupted. He sighed and thrilled with a rush of emotion. "Madam," he said. "I am coming to that soon. I remember the day as well as though it was yesterday. It was bright and sunny and everybody was limbered up and shooting 'em We was fightin' th' old through. L'tlca Blues. They bad- four to our three, and it is the last half of the ninth. We was on. the flrln' line. I was up at the plate. The cheer I got when I grabbed the willow and dusted my hands sounded like Caesar coraln' home from Gaiway. I shut my teeth and picked out a board in the fence to send it over." She grew Interested. "The Blues had put in a new (linger in the eighth a scrawny college kid from New Haven. I sized bim up for a glass arm and went in to kill th' first one. I lammed at it with plenty of steam, but it skidded in close to my slats and I felt th' wind of it in my shirt. The next thing I heard was the thump of it in the catcher's glove and the ump callin' 'Strike!' "I was surprised, and so was th' bleachers. But I knew it only took one. It came sailing along as big aa a football, and I figured on drlvin' It through th' scoreboard and knockln' down somebody on th' street with it. But just as I swung at it It blew out to one side about a yard and dropped In th' catcher's glove with a thud. An' then somebody in th' bleachers hollered : "Take him out he's sold th game.' "Madam, that made me a desperate man. All of my future hung on that next ball. It came bobbin' up like a bunch of bananas on a string an' I aimed for its nose an' let go!" He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, overcome by the recollection. "I figured on hlttln' it on th trademark, ma'am, as honest as I'm tellln' you thia sad story. But it shot up about two inches like a boy slttln' on a hornet, and I just popped up a little foul that the catcher gobbled like an elephant swallowln' a peanut, madam. I was out of the battle an' th' l'tlca Blues trimmed to a sowsle."

"They came down through th' wire net tin' and fell on me in bunches of 20 or ::o. They thought I had sold 'em out, those mullygrubs I'd helped to fly three battle flags for, and they thirsted for the police, but before they came a pop bottle got r. e on the head and I went down for th count. It was a crime, ma'am, th' things they did to me. "The police pried 40 or 50 of them off my scalp, laid me on a door and six of 'em carried me to the hospital. They sewed me tip In a couple of hours and 1 was six weeks on a bed. When I got out I was canned!" "Canned!" she exclulmeJ. "Yes, 'm, canned!" he repeated. "Canned! Extinguished! Itushlengued !

Up to that time I was a hero but Just because 1 fell down that once and didn't deliver the goods they shot me down th' chutes." He strode thoughtfully down the rond and the sweet-faceold woman watched him sympathetically. "The poor old veteran!" she exclaimed. "I wonder what battle It was?"
