"They do say" here The A@fa
hitched his chair uneasily, "that &ey
can prove it. And to begin with, they
say his name isn't Bash at all His real
name is something else"
"Humbug again Sheriff. Humbug.
You don't believe it?"
NO"
@Of course not"
"Dan Bash, who was looking calmly
at the Sheriff all the while, now turned
and looked up at Club.
"Would it make any difference to you
whether my name is Bash, Brown or
Buff"
"Not the least"
at might to Others" said the Sheriff.
"I'll own up it might make heap o.
difference in this case" said Hank, care
lessly. "The looks of tho thing, under
the circumstances, might make people
think maybe the Monks wasn't alto
gether wrong. 'Tain't usual for a man
to change his name"
"Of coure they are wrong" said the
Sheriff. "But why they are such fools
as to pretend to be able to prove your
name isn't Dan Bash, but altogether an
other name, which they will reveal at
the right time-that's what puzzles me,
unless it's to gain time and help put in
time. They've sent mo here on FOOLS
errand, OF course. but duty's duty,
Hank"
"Of course-of course" said Hank
Dawson.
~You can prove your name is Dan Bash
very easily. l suppose-can bring those
who will identify you, Mr.. Bash, very
soon."
There was a lengthy silence. Hank
Dawson stared silently at his daughters S
affianced.
Club Dawson's lips were parted. Her
eyes seemed to read her lovers SOUL
At last her lover turned to the Sheriff
and said slowly:
"Well, suppose my name is not Bash
what them"
"Oh, why," the Sheriff said awk-
wardly, "why, don't know as it would
prove anything, or go for much when
the facts are all known"
@Well, then, my name is not Bash, Mr..
Walker"
@Not Bash!"
"Not Bash-not Bash!n exclaimed
Club, as she caught her hands, intcrlac-
ing the fingers, "You don't mean It,
DAM"
"But do mean it." said Dan, delber-
ately.
@Then I'm sorry" said the Sheriff,
"for my instructions were to bring you
with me, and now"
"Stor, Sheriff !"
Hank Dawson walked slowly opposite
his daughters lover, then he bent down
and gazed steadily in his face.
"Let me hear that again. Is your
name Bash or not?"
The lovers countenance was equally
solemn, his manner grave, as he replied,
slowly:
at is not"
@That's all, Sheriff. For Gods sake,
take him now-now! ! can't bear to see
him, for he WAS like my own son! He
was-he was-Sheriff.
And Hank Dawson bowed his head be-
tween his hands.
Club stood spellbound several min
utes. Then she rushed on her lover,
caught his sound arm convulsively, and
said:
"There's some dreadful mistake. I
believe in you. I'll die il you are not
all I think you are! Say you are what
we think you are-O! Dan! Dan! Speak
to father!"
The Sheriff turned aside and made
some suspicious movements, like man
who was wiping his eyes.
But the blacksmith's head was still
bowed in humility.

each one containing gold and $1,000 in
each bag of silver. At the present
time, however, all this is changed. The
Government has suspended the issue
of gold certificates against deposits OF
that metal, the free silver dollars are
exhausted, and only those secured by
silver certificates remain in the vaults !;
the Clearing House balances are settled
in actual coin, gold is coming in and
going out, is weighed and counted,
and the passer by in Nassau street at
the corner of Pine hears all day long
the clink and clatter of metal.
At any time visit to the Sub
Treasury is interesting, but it is
particularly so now. Walk up the
long flight of stone steps leading from
Wall street to the main entrance of
the building any morning after 10
O'Clock, pass by the guardian statue of
Washington and between the huge
granite columns which support the
projecting roof, and you enter a cool,
lofty counting room.
Standing at the main entrance be-
tween two supporting granite columns
similar to those outside, the view is
unobstructed to the Pine street, or
rear, entrance of the building. Be-
fore another step is taken the visitor
becomes at once aware of the over
powering strength and massiveness of
the structure. BE has passed through
a doorway of solid granite blocks six
feet in depth, guarded by an outer
door of huge iron bars, an inner door
Of heavy steel plates and a frame door

Chairine OF the Bard.

The Rev. Evan Rees, of Cardiff,
South Wales, won the prize offered for,
the best poem at the assembly Of Welsh
singers in Chicago. The great event
of the day was the I "chairing of the
bard, "a historic ceremony inherited
from the ancient Cambrians, which, it;
is said, had never previously been per-
formed outside of Great Britain. Sur
rounding the poet, the bards clasped
hands over his bowed head and Hwfa
Mon, unsheathing a sword, challenged
all to dispute the rights Of the victor.
The challenge was given three times by
the interrogation, tIs there pesceg
Three times the bards and audience

In Russia the Government new promotes,
instead OF opposing temperance work:
Members OF the temperance societies amongst
the Moujiks undertake to abstain from vodka
for twelyemonth. The first time one OF
them breaks his promise he is fined three
roubles, and receives nineteen strokes with
the rod. The second time the punishment is
doubled.

building forming the sides of the
vaults are eight feet thick, and masonry
encases them on all sides, saving
where the entrance doors pierce

and the dimensions perhaps twelve by

ANOTHER VICTORY
The Charleston Club Again
Taken into Camp.

The largest crowd of the season wit
messed by far the best ball game that
has been played here in many years.
The home team have certainly been
putting up gilt-edge ball in the series
with the West Virginians. Their play
ing yesterday was full OF snap and they
took advantage of every point of the
game. On account Of the sickness of
Riley Meade played shortstop and Beck
covered the left garden Beck
played we'll in the field, accepting his
two chances and also made one hit.
Meade accepted all OF his chances at
short and threw to first like a rife shot.
Daniel caught great game, his catch Of
high foul near the fence being particu-
larly brilliant. Boyd pitched one of
the best games Of ball ne ever pitched
in his life. Outside OF the seventh
inning, when the Charleston's made
their two hits. they could not touch
him. They went out in one, two three
order in seven out Of the nine innings
Wigmore, Thompson and Settles also
played great ball.
Neither side we're able to score run
until the seventh inning, although in
the frst inning it looked as though the
home team would score. After Wig.
more had been retired by pitcher to first
base, Beck got his base on Cams passed
ball of hist Beok's) third strike. BE stole
second and third SUCCESSFULLY, but was
left there as neither Meade nor Thomp-
son were able to connect with the ball
successfully.
In the seventh inning Corccran, the
first batter, was given life by Settles
drop OF Boyd's wide throw, went to
IN "a fnt "a ID
hit by Ransom, and scored on Fosters
wild throw to the home plate. This
ended the scoring by the visitors, they
going out in one, two, three order in the
eighth and ninth.
In the home teams half of the sew
enth they set the crowd wild with
enthusiasm by the way they hit the
ball. Meade, the first batter up, was
out on fly to centre field. Thompson,
the next batter, made a single, went to
| second on Daniels single to left field,
stole third and scored Immediately on
throw to catch him at third, the third
baseman throwing tho ball to second to
catch Daniel. Thompson scored on the
slow return of the ball. Daniel went
to third on the throw in 10 catch
Thompson. Boyd was given his base
on balls and McGinness' single to centre
field scored Daniel and advanced Boyd
to third. McGinness was thrown out
on his overrun Of first base by the quick
return Of the ball by Elsey to Chard
and Chard's quick throw to Farley.
Fostor then followed with single,
tallying Boyd. Settles retired the side
on his grounder to Farley. In the
eighth inning Meade made a hit, but
was left on second.
With the exception of the seventh
inning, Chard pitched great game Of
ball, the home team making four Of
their sixth hits in this inning. The
third base play of Heidelman was very
brilliant, his jump and stop of Cams
high throw to catch Thompson in the
seventh inning being very good. Cams
also caught good game. Elsey, their
centre fiel6er, is, without doubt, the
most original coacher seen here this
season. The following tells the full
story OF the game:
