Il think last night they attempted to
spike our cannon"
Il heard that you arrested the deserters
Of the XenOphOn on the same charge"
Il did"
Have you any proof"
There was strong circumstantial evil
dence pointing toward them, yet We had
no positive proof.
I saw the man called Burnett. He is
a tall, fine, nOble-looking man, Griffith.
I cannot believe him a bad man. He
does not look like a spy"
He has a fine appearance, dearest Ola;
but looks are deceiving. I. can not trust
him while he rests under those terrible
suspicious.
But he did you good service, did he
not, in driving away the man-Of WARP"
yes, so did Benedict Arnold do his
country good service, and yet he attempted
to betray it in the end.
@Oh, Griffith, how wish we were at
peace again!" sObbed the unfortunate
Ola, burying her face in her hands.
He drew her to him, pressed a
kiss upon her pale cheek, and said: do
not despair, dearest Ola, but bear in
mind that it is darkest just before
dawn. Peace Will come again. These
dark clouds will roll away, and the sun,
shining bright and clear upon the hills,
will indicate peace and happiness"
But 1t may come too late for US to en-
Joy it"
not"
At this moment, while the lovers were
locked in each others embrace, and while
Griffith was trying to sOOthe the fears of
the poor frightened girl, a dark, sinister
face appeared at the window and a pair Of
basilisk eyes cleaned upon them.
They saw not the face. Had they done
so their peace of mind would have been
destroyed and their darkest suspicious
aroused. 1t was visible but moment
and then withdrew into the darkness be-
You'd. The lovers sat cOnVersing on themes
more pleasant than the dark present.
Captain Alton sought to lead his be-
trOthed from this dark hour to a bright
future
But time wore on, and when he glanced
at his watch and noted how late the hour
he said:
I must go now, Ola; my time is up
and I will have to return to duty. Be
cheerful, dearest, for all will yet come
out right"
Will you not come in and see father
before you gO?"
He is asleep and we had better not
disturb him.
I'VE will not awake him, but [ know
you want to gaze a moment at him as he
lies so pale and death-like on the bed.
He seems to me- Griffith, nOtwithstand-
ing all we have heard. to be my father; yet
can it be he told that story in jest?"
NO, no, Ola, it is true. He would not
jest about as serious a matter as that.
But let US go to his room, will glance
at him but for moment, and then must

AS they left the apartment the same
sinister face appeared at the window.
This time it pressed quite close to the
pane, and fendish smile was upon it
The window was showed up and the head
of bold, daring nan thrust in. For 6
moment it gIared after the lovers and dis

day she had been on a visit with her

SPORTING MATTERS.
Phe New Ravens Defeat she Hartfords 10 3-One Benefit Derived From the New Rule.

Phe New Ravens Defeat the HartfOrds
 to 3-One Benehs Derived From the
 New Rule.
 At the rink last night an audience of about
 one thousand people witnessed the New Ha-
 vens play perhaps the best game they have
 played this season, defeating the Hartfords
 by score of 7 to 8.
 The game was full of vim to the very end, and the absence of the usual long delays caused by broken skates demonstrated clear 1y that there is one benefit at least to be de- rived from the new rule. Not a skate was broken during the game nor player injured. Hartford made the first goal, Cotter caging the ball from the side on pass from Smith. Connors made the next goal from the side on pass by Hill from side center. The third goal was made by Hill on the rebound of drive by Swords. The next goal was won by New Haven, Connors caging the ball from the side. New Haven won the fifth goal. Swords caged the ball from the side on long pass ! by Hill from near the New Havens' cage. The sixth goal was won by Hartford, Sea- ! ly caging the ball in seconds on a long drive from center.
 The Hartfords now changed their posit ion, Cotter playing half back, Sullivan center and George Smith rush.
 This change did not work very well, for New Haven won the next goal. Phelan took the ball from behind the cage and rushing up | the rink passed it to Swords. Swords passed to Connors who caged from the side. The Hartfords now resumed their regular position and won the next goal Sealy brought the ball out from behind the cage and passed to Cotter, who was awaiting the ball directly in front of the New Havenscage. He caged it by quick drive. The next two goals were made for the New Ravens by Sword, who caged on Hills passes from side center.
 The features of the game were the driving ! for goal of Cotter and Sword, the rushing of Connors, the blocking of Hill and Phelan ! and the goal tending of Reed.

DEATH OF JAMES J. WEBB.

The We'll Known and Much Esteemed
 Hamden AgriculturIst Passes Away After an Attack of Pneumouia-A Stirring Career.
 James J. Webb died at his farm in Ham den on the Centerville road about o'clock
 yesterday morning in the seventv-frst year of his age. Three weeks ago he took a severe cold which later settled into pneumonia. He seemed to have recovered from this three days ago, but the severe strain left him in such weak, exhausted condition that his death soon followed.
 He was born in Litch6eld county in this State and in 1S40 went West He was very energetic, vigorous and pushing man, full of enterprise and courage and possessed of un- ! usual bustness foresight and sagacity. He spent many years engaged in experimenting and conducting route of traffic between the East and New Mexico. For years he resided in Sante Fe, conducting the chief store in the place for years with John M. Kingsbury, now of Boston. He was one of the pioneers | in the overland Sante Fe trade when there were no railroads to facilitate the delivery of ! merchandise. Thirty years ago this spring he removed to Hamden and purchased fine farm, on which, with his usual enterprise, he expended large amount of money convert | ing it into one of the finest farms in New Haven county or the State of Connecticut. He increased it in size by additional pur- ! chases until he owned about two hundred and sixty acres. MT. Webb was one of the leading scientific agriculturists of this State, and was for years prominent of l icer, both of the New Haven County Agri- cultural society and of the State Board of | Agriculture. He attended most of the noted t gatherings of Connecticut agriculturists held ! in the last twenty years, and his athletic, ! powerful figure and frame, his intelligence | and decision of character, made him con- | spicuous man in these assemblies. He has
 been also for many years one of the leading ! members of the Whitneyville Congregational ! church, which in his death loses liberal \ and active supporter, and he was once sena- l tor from his district. In politics he was ! Democratic. He leaves a wife and one son, ! Lawyer James Fl. Webb, firm of filling & | Webb of this city, to mourn the loss of an | afectionate husband and kind father. His I death creates much sorrow in Hamden, where ! for so many years he has been one of the | f0rauonst If ifa oiti1npa
