aCome in !" she cried, carelessly.
The door was opened and q man stood
there, silent and immovHble.
She sprang to her feet and faced him, her
body crouched, her eyes blazing like those
Of an Infatuated tiger cat
The man was Dudley Dodge, professional
gambler. The reverend title of ID. D., irreV-
erently bestowed upon him by all acquaiut-
ances, was not beied in his looks. Tall,
smooth faced, faultless in dress, with no
display Of jewelry, and calm, stern de-
meanor that nothing was ever known to
disturb, he looked like any thing but what
might be the popular idea Of leader in his
class.

bow, and removing his hat, your husband

word he was In the room and the door was
closed behind him.
Then the gasping little woman found her
voice.
"It's you, is It'll You villain! You who
made my Willie drunk and robbed him Of
all he had in the world. You, you, oh /
don't know what's bad enough for me to
call you-and then you have the cheek to
come here and grin over your devils work.
I hate you-get out this roomI'
While she painted, breathless with fury,
old D. d. opened his mouth and spake.
"Mrs. Moore, listen to me, if you please.
You are a good girl. I've watched you long
and know how you have carried yourself.

"Say not word. 1t pleases me to do this

hand.
If "the gurls'' had heard of what that lit

Then as he hastily turned out Of the door
she collapsed into heap on the floor, sob.

thankfulness.
There was suspicious moisture in the
steel gray eyes of old D. D. as he slowly
descended the stairs; as he stood on the
front steps dapper "genti rushed up to
him. 1t was Mr.. Lawton.
Hello! D. D! whatcher dom here, eh1n
he exclaimed. "Whats brung you outer

fixed on the other mans face. Il am sure
Mrs. Moore does not wish to see company.
Don't go up, you'd much better walk down
street with me. GOMEZ"
That "come" sounded like command.
and Mr.. Click Lawton was not the man to

He trotted down street beside his silent
companion.

BALTIMORE WET BUT LIVELY.
The Labor Parade and Sham Battle
Today.

BALTIMORE, Sept. I2.-Baltimore looks ss
though it were war time. Troops are seen
everywhere. and the delusion is heightened by
the fact that they all look wet and musty, like
real soldiers. The roll of drums and
rhythmical tread of feet is accompanied by
sharp commands and shrill bugle calls. The
weather on the second day of the Maryland ex-
position was bad enough. but that OF yesterday
and today has caused the promoters OF the big
show to look sad. Hundreds of visitors have
left the city. The labor parade in which Is, 600
men were to participate dwindled 70 about
Pimlico, where they will hold their annual
celebration. But the grand feature of the day
will be the sham battle of North Point. The
troops TO participate from Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Delaware and the District
of Columbia and United States regulars.
Thousands of shots will be fred from
musket and cannon as the fight Of seventy-fve
years ago will be waged anew. At night the
post Office will be dedicated. Chairman Daniel
=. Conklin will preside. Mayor Latrobe will
deliver an address Of welcome 70 the
invited guests. He viii be followed in short
speeches by Secretary of the Treasury VIM

THE RAIN SPOILED THE PARADE.
The Great Military Display at Gettys-
burg Today Abandoned.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Sept. l2.-The last Of the
"Pennsylvania days" was a grand fzzle. Last
night thousands Of people left the town,
and during the morning the exodus
was continued At 10 o'clock this morn
ing the clouds that had been threatening
since daylight began to let down their con-
tents, and at o'clock the rain is still falling.
The mist that preceded the general downpour
was Of but little consequence, and the
various aids and marshals of divisions
were hurrying their men into line,
but the ten thousand that were to form the
line Of march had diminished into less than
half that number. When the rain began to
come down in earnest Col Bonafir,
the chief Of staff TO the chief mar
shal, mounted his charger and galloped
up Chambersburg street to consult with his
chief, and when he returned the parade that
has caused so much trouble and expense had
been ordered of. The national cemetery
cannot, Of course, be used as
the place for holding the formal
dedicatory exercises and the rink will be util-
lied This will accommodate but /, 500 persons
and the crowd will be something awful this
afternoon when the hour arrives for opening
the doors to the general public.
