Devere, and Ben Wiley went'to first on
balls. Reese then put good one out to
center field and Wiley came home, cut
ting across lots. Chehalis objected
strenuously, and for a few minutes the
"Deacon's' black coat was lost to view
among the white shirts of the protesting
Chehalans, and Wiley scored this, O., in
stead Of this, 1. Munson put the side out,
by the aid OF fly to Good.
Long went to the bat, and struck a
feeble one, that Pearson picked up and
beat to first with. Geo. Devere then

Stapleford three strikes and out on first.
"Our T." came up, and lined her through

arrive on Tuesday next; and that shS
had ordered the room where the body
lay to be undisturbed until the arrival
of the proper officials; and that it had
remained in that condition until the
photographer the coroner had sent
came to take the portrait of the dead
gentleman.
At this point In her evidence there
was much interest manifested by the
coroner, who Indignantly denied having
sent anyone for any such purpose, and
who was egged on to ask multiplicity
of questions by a little sharp-featured
man who sat at his elbow. What sort
of man was he? What kind of hair
had he? What was his height? The
color of his eyes? What did he say?
How long was he there? Where did he
go when he left? Should she recognize
him If she saw him again? And when
she had in very detected and unsatis-
factory manner gone through this cate
chetical torture she was rated for her
indiscretion in admitting him without
proper credentials, and stepped down
from the witness-stand with Mortified
feeling that she had violated every law
of the decalogue.
Mrs. Evesham's servants, the pre-
vious landlady of the house, the waiter
at the restaurant where the deceased
generally took his meals, the barber
who shaved him, the laundress who
washed his clothes, and even the boy
who BACKED his boots were hunted up
1f L.
ever heard him drop word which
would afford them any clew to his an.
tecedents.
Though his room was searched by
skilled detectives, not scrap of paper
was there to give trace of his iden-
titT, not even a bridesmaids ac-
count with his name on it. A small
roll of bills, barely sufficient to pay the
expenses of his funeral, was discovered
in his waistcoat pocket, and massive
gold watch and many valuable trinkets
lay in their accustomed places, but
without initial or crest upon them.
Even his linen, which was of the best
quality, was unmarked.
But the cup of Mrs. Evesham's
troubles was filled to the brim when
on the following morning the Daily
Herald served up its readers sensa-
tional account of the tragedy under
glazing headlines, which seemed
printed in letters of flame to the dis
tressed, sensitive NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

fund, they felt measurably secure, in
case of accident or sickness.
The cottage was really a very
humble affair. but to Dick and Maggie,
after their pinched, cherries exist.
ence In cheap boarding houses, it was
bit of paradise. And, what with her
flowers, her chickens and her trim
little garden, Maggie felt that her life
compassed the full meaning of the word
happiness. On the sloping terrace,
just above the cottage, stood the lordly
mansion of Schuyler Sanders, million
aire and banker. Maggie saw the
great man driven down town every day
by his Iveried coachman, and now and
then caught glimpses of his wife, who
was both young and pretty.
One day a pet bird escaped from the
great house and few straight into the
little conservatory which Dick had con-
structed for Maggie's flowers. Maggie
caught it and, putting on her bonnet.
went over to restore it to its owner.
Mrs. Sanders was profuse in her
thanks, and insisted that Maggie
should come inside and see rare col
lection of plants that had just been
added to the splendid conservatory.
Thus the ice was broken; and after
this the two often exchanged greetings
or chatted over the low hedge.
About this time Maggie's little par
Tor began to look very poor and COM
mon to her, and her mind was troubled
with visions of glistening mirrors, vel
vet carpets and silken portieres. One

grants; the other, its arrival in New
Yorlk-for no more vivid scenes Of con-
trasting human emotions could ever be
conceived by brain of artist. 1 do not
mean that l would spend my time over
the hull and rigging of the ocean mon
ster, for it changes not, whether it is
seen lying in the Mersey or snugly har-
bored at its New York dock, but would
try to put on canvas the faces of tho
vast throng which crowds the deck
There, at Liverpool, old associations
are newly broken and the wounds ara
fresh, eyes are red with weeping and
hearts are wrung with the pangs of
parting from the friends of lifetime.
But here, the restful voyage has done
its healing, and hope and gladness il
lumine every countenance, for the land
of promise is reached, and sluggish in
deed must be his nature whose spirit
does not thrill with the expectancy Of
the new life. Even the cabin passen-
gers, who have no battle before them
forget their languid ways and catch some
ofthe enthusiasm of their hum bier fellow
voyagers, and some of them are Ameri-
cans, who have been for a scamper
through Europe, rejoicing to get back
to their own beautiful shores and sunny
skies
Such scene fascinated Mrs. Evesham
as she stood with her daughter Kate
on the gangway of the Northern Star,
gazing with amused wonder at the busy
crowd swarming over the vessel like
bees in hive.
She had come to meet Number Skis
sister.
Through the courteous interference Of
an official who had been attracted by
their gentle bearing they were among
the first to set foot on the deck of the
steamer. Mrs. Evesham had not
brought Alice with her, for she had
thought it best to leave her at home TO
supervise hospitable preparations for
the reception of the young lady, who
in her bereavement would need their
tenderest solicitude.
They prre rather q helpless couple
in such an emergency, but they pressed
bravely through the crowd to the
stewards cabin, where they found a
good-natured, voluble little man re-
ceiving dilatory fees and bidding CRATE
full adieux TO his gracious patrons
He found time, however, to attend to
their solicitations
NO" he said, gravely, in answer to
the lady's inquiries, there is no person
named Arlington on board the ship II
madam likes she can Inspect the pas
senger list. She is not here" he con-
tinued, decisively, unless she came In
the steerage."
(which / am sure she never did,"
Kate burst forth Indignantly.
Not likely, miss" the man assented;
"but would not feel anxious about her,
for the Moravian will arrive on Satur-
day, and she viii probably come in
her." with which piece of consolation
he turned to more congenial duties.
mot Gomez Mrs. Eveshsm sighed,
as she sank into a convenient chair to
rest awhile and think.
''Oh, Kate darlingl" she walled perr-
lantiy. whatever shall / do? 1 never
can face the coroner again with the
mystery of that mans identity uar
solved"

"Why, dinner, ! suppose" Maggie
rejoined, laughing uneasily as she re-
membered that the unusual drain OF
the past few days had left the family
purse almost empty.
| But tomorrow will be Thanksgiv-
ing" Dick persisted.
"Why, Dick, 1 can kill one of the
chickens; they are really getting quite
large"
81 say, Maggie" Dick broke in,
breaking a fellows legs doesn't spoil
his appetite. Last year we had turkey
and oysters and mince pie"
But Dick"
30, yes, know the moneys short
But I'm looking for Fergus every min

this afternoon. By the way. Maggie,
did q sharp thing in breaking two legs
instead of one. / shall get out just as
soon, and if I had broken but one I
should have gotten only fifteen dollars
and my weekly allowance, but as 1t is,
I'll get twenty-five dollars. Goodnessl
Maggie, what is the matter?"
Poor Maggie! how could she ever tell
that dreadful story! When she had
finished, Dick looked very grave, but
he only said: at was a mistake, OF
course; but I'm not going to let it make
me forget that my little wife has been
my good angel, and. as long as we have
each other, if we have but a crust, we
can keep Thanksgiving just the same.
But there is Fergus, Maggie" Maggie
arose to let him in and then retired to a
seat near the window.
"You should have notified us before,
old fellow" Mr.. Fergus was saying.
''Our company is always prompt"
"But I'm not en- titled" Dick began
feebly. 1.-THE last ins.tallment-"
"Was paid on the twentieth" said
Mr. Fergus, consulting his book.
Grant came in, saying some
thing about owing you ten dol
lars, which he would leave with
US. l was very busy at the time and
did not pay much attention, but sup
posed you had ordered it paid to us, SO
l credited the amount on your policy"
Maggie felt that, if she remained a
minute longer, there would certainly
be ''scene;" so, at this juncture, she
slipped quietly out of the room
And it transpired, after all, that the
Blooms had genuine Thanksgiving,
with turkey and the appropriate &C
compartments. Out of the fullness of
her heart, Maggie sent invitations to
four friends of their clearinghouse
days. A merry party it was which
gathered around the little table that
was wheeled up to Dicks lounge.
After the guests had gone Maggie
went to the closet and, drawing out
her work-basket, reselutely unrolled
the pink satin. 81 shall make head
rest for Aunt Maria's Christmas" she
began, land sachet- bags for Lou and
Amy, and-yes, and a handkerchief

"Yes, and l suppose ought to keep
something, just to make me remember
how naughty have been. But if you
please, Dick. DEAR" she said, going
over and kissing him, "rd rather for
