"It isn't hard to find your way about St. Louis," went on Mabel. "Just take a Natural Bridge line car, and that'll bring you out to Robison Field. Or you can take a trunk line, and transfer to Vandeventer. But the best way is the Natural Bridge route. Is there anything else you'd like to know?" she asked, with a smile. "Information supplied at short notice. The Browns, or American League team, play at Grand and Dodier——"
"Oh, I'm not interested in them!" interrupted Joe. "I'm going to stick to my colors—cardinal."
"And I'll wear them, too," said Mabel in a low voice, and the blush in her cheeks deepened. Already she was wearing Joe's color.
"This is our last day here," the girl went on, after a pause.
"It is?" cried Joe in surprise. "Why, I thought——"
"I'm sorry, too," she broke in with. "You have given Reggie and me a lovely time. I've enjoyed myself very much."
"Not half as much as I have," murmured Joe.
Reggie came in a little later, and congratulated the young player, and then Charlie Hall added his good wishes. It was his last day in town also, and he and the Varleys left on the same train, Joe and his sister going to the station to see them off.
"If you get snowed in again, just let me know," called Joe, with a laugh, as the train pulled out. "I'll come for you in an airship."
"Thanks!" laughed Mabel, as she waved her hand in a final good-bye.
