troits score to 2, brought at least one good re-
sult-that OF enabling the ex-champions TO take
second place, and thus making the pennant race
still more exciting. But the benefit thus secured
does not affect washington In the least, and it is
hard how the interest OF the base ball pub
lie In this city Is to be maintained at the present
rate OF play. Four straight defeats at the hands
OF the suggers from the lakes would not be so bit

CHAPTER II.

The daughter evinced such interest in the
welfare of her fathers soul that the old
man was deeply moved. He went to the
camp-fnceting and became much concerned.
He was getting old and might not live but
little while louSe tie had not paid enough
attention to his soul. He wanted, as nearly
as possible, to make good the precious time
which he had lost.
One night, while at the mOurners' bench,
he thought that he felt change of heart,
and as he rode along the lonely road to-
wards home he continued to pray. Sudden
ly voice from over head startled him:
"Stephen Filter; Stephen Filterl"
whoa Who dat calm mel"
"Stephen Filter, look ter yo' soul"
g Lawd hab mussy on me; Lawd hab
mussy. Whut mus / do!n
"Stephen Filter, preach de gospel o. de

"Stephen Filter, on Thanksgibin' Day er
man will come ter yo' house. Glib him yo'
daughter an let him take yo' farm while
you preach"
''Who IS de mani"
"Er poet o. de faith. Stephen Filter, you
hab made er narrer 'scape. Co."
The old man whipped up his horse. Sim
came down out of tree.
The next morning, at breakfast, the old
mans face wore an expression of deep con-
cern.

"Wall, sab, 1 think l ken 'comerdate

Shortly afterward the ceremony was per-
formed.

got up from the dinner table, "whar you

Mandy, Stephens daughter, was. of course,
the belle of the neighborhood. She had in
herited her fathers depth of blackuess; in
fact, she had gone TO a greater length in the
line of inheritance, and had largely par
taken of the old mans kidney feet. The
fathers affections were centered upon the
girl; and, in the evening, when bull-bats,
with triumphant below, caught the dron-
ing black bugs that labored through the
hazy air, he was won't to sit under a squash
vine that grew about the door and think of
the time when she should be the wife of an
influential man.
Mandy had been taught to hold in disdsin
the matrimonial negotiations of the COM
monplace young fellows of the neighbor-
hood, and so faithfully had she carried out
the old mans instructions that for him the
future held but few fears OF family degen-
