The red light was close--close at hand,
but the man lay still and rocked nothing of
it. The woman having accomplished her
CHASTITY work, wound her black shawl
tightly round her head, then fell upon her
knees, waited, and lived an age in every
moment
She heard, through the mufilng, the rush,
she FELT on her hands the wind of the metal
monster ms it swept by; but she heard or felt
no more. She rose and shuddered CON
vulsively; then, without glance to see
what her hand had wrought, stepped over
the line, down the steep embankment, and
was lost in the night. She had done what
she believed to be her appointed task. No
longer would Maurice Hervey stand be-
t" cl Beatrice and happinessl

cried In piteous imploring tones. Cant you
see | am mad' Take me and put me where
mad people are sent to-"
Strange as confession of insanity seemed,
the puzzled policeman was bound to take her
at her word, the more SO because she would
not or could not give any account of herself,
OF name any place Of residence. So she was
led away docile captive, and spent the
rest of the night, or rather morning, under
detention.
Mad or not, she believed her work was
now done; believed that she would be be-
slowed whore her mistress would never find
her, never hear of her. Mad or not, her one
concentrated aim was to keep the secret Of
the way in which Maurice Hervey died. If
mad, the poor wretch's cunning had all but
supplied the place of reason.
All but for as usual it had forgotten one
important thing Unless Beatrice was in
formed of her husbands DEATH unless that
death were proved beyond a doubt, Sarah

Her madness, If it may be called madness,
deepened as the time passed by. After all,
in spite Of its claims to superiority, the mind
is but the slave of the body. The yoke may
be thrown aside for a while, but sooner or
later its pressure becomes apparent. Fa-
tigue and want of food were, with Sarah
Miller, completing what distress had be-
gun. Yet to herself it seemed that she had
never seen things clearer, never reasoned
more cogently than at this moment when
her brain was taxed beyond endurance
How would God act9 Would He strike this
man dead as he sat there' Would something
frightful happenl Would the train he over
turnedi AS this question exercised her, every
Jolt as the wheels passed the points sent a
thrill through her and made her fancy the
moment was at hand.
No. This could not be the appointed
method. Merciless as her creed taught ner
sense of Justice for babe her to suppose that
many other lives must be sacrificed for the
sake of destroying Maurice Hervey. She
must wait patiently and in faith, not antici-
pate Gods purpose But the time was
growing very shortl
Suddenly she turned and knelt on the
floor of the carriage She offered up a
prayer that things might be made clear to
her; that her agony of suspense might be
brought to an end Hervey watched her
and laughed aloud.

and overcame, not only the womans physi-

glimpse Of Beatrice which chained her to
the spot. She tore herself away, and with

BASE BALL A SURE THING.
The Southern League All Right -
More of Atlanta's Ways.

The committee appointed at the opera
house meeting on Monday night to can
vas for stock to the new base ball ascot
alton is actively at work, and it is expect.
ed that the full amount-S5,0 00-will be
raised by Friday night, when the associa-
ton will be organized.
The statement telegraphed from At
lanta TO the New York Herald that
the Southern League will not play base
ball next season is on par with At
lanta's policy in everything. After last
years dlsgraceful management, and be-
cause the citizens will not put their
money behind another such organization
as that which came near disrupting the
league, the Atlanta element is using it's
influence by sending out false reports to
break up the league next season.
If Atlanta does not want to play ball
let her step down and out quietly and not
ATTEMPT to damage the interests of every
other club in the league. Every other
club besides Atlanta, or except, perhaps,
Macon, Is organizing and getting things
in shape for next year. Mobile and Blr-
miugham are both anxious TO secure a
franchise, and stand ready to ill any va
cancies. IF Atlanta and Macon want to
drop out let them do so and let Birming-
ham and Mobile take their places.
The schedule committee will meet at
Chattanooga early in January. and the
matter can be settled then or even earlier
The talk about the Southern League going
to pieces is all stuff
The only trouble is that the clubs are
slow in moving. 1t is less than a month
before the forfeit money will have to be
put up, and as the amount exacted is no
mere bagatelle IL Is important that clubs
should make their arrangements to this
end promptly. The sooner the money Is
placed in the hands OF the President the
better, as once on deposit there is little
probability OF its beng forfeited, and the
league will begin to take on new life. A
great amount OF valuable time 10 being
lost IN the securing of good playing mate
rial, and it is imperative that the guaran.
tee money be sent In at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
The guarantee fund once In bank and the
fact published to the world, will greatly
facilitate the signing of good men, who
now are averse to making contracts with
clubs because of the uncertain condition
OF the leagues affairs. There is any
number of good men on the market, de-
spite the avariciousness of league and
association managers, but they are not
likely to attach their signatures to con-
tracts when there is no absolute GER
tainty OF club maintaining it's
organization the season through. The
fact that the new Cleveland association
team has received 800 applications for
place is pretty strong evidence that play
ers by the legion are still on the market.
However, the quicker the Southern clubs
secure their quota OF men the better. The
placing Oftbe forfeit money is the initial
step to the success of the league, and will
have its weight in putting at rest the nu-
