rather unusual amount of difficulty i'm

sun never sets upon. The hero Is one
Hiliiard, who burst his chrysalis with one

somed at once into q man of the world,
with pronounced platonic instincts. He
falls In love with a portrait of a girl, and
afterward with the girl herself She Is a
working girl, and attracts the notice of an
other man, whose intentions are clouded
by the fact OF his possession OF wife.
Ewes ransom consisted OF the spending OF
his little windfall by Hilliard to wean her
from the influence of the roue. The
scheme was a success, but Eve married an
other man. She was only a tuft- hunter.
and went to the man who was able to as
sure her case and n certain degree of
luxury. Hilliard took his medicine
calmly, far too calmly to inspire
US with respect for his manhood. But
then, II he had not been a moon-calf he
never would have been attracted by Eve,
who was cold, selfish, not especially
beautiful, not grateful, and lacking in
nearly all the womanly graces. On the
whole, 1t appears that Eve was not worth
ransom, and Hilliard was not worthy OF
her had she been worth q ransom. III.

Manager Clarity Talks of Diamond Pros
The pleasant weather during the past

many, but none have hailed it with greater
delight than the baseball cranks, who have

yesterday afternoon. This will make the
fourth year that Manager Clarity has had

In answer to a question of the prospect
of a good opening season, he replied that
the opening season in Portland this year
would be far better than any in the past
four years. And as to the chances of Port
land winning the pennant. he did not care
to speculate too soon. but that as the team
has always been in the first division at the
close of the last four seasons, it will IN
doubtedly make a big bid Tor it. The Port

and but three more remain to be signed.
