The playing at the tennis tournament at
Norwood Park, N. j., yesterday was rather
mild. There We're only three contests, re-
sulting follows:
Stevens beat Chace. 60, SO, Ga
Fcote beat Larned, 30 6-1, ST, ST.
Chace beat Parker, G-1, 6-1, 6-1
Wrenn and Stevens are still tied for first
place Stevens kept up his magnificent
work by taking three straight sets from
Grace. Stevens played like clockwork
throughout, but toward the end of the
match his passing down the lines was
superb.
Chace made a good fight. but his smashes
could not get away from the Hoboken
crack, Stevens peculiar lobs going higher
and far back, even when he was hard
pressed. Chace's voleying was giIt-edged
at first, but toward the end he began to
have some hard luck in smashing balls
just over the lines \
Foote made an excellent showing against
Larned, the latter's ,temerity in playing
with a new racquet being punished by a
run of nine straight games by Foote, Civ

emergency, and finally saved the set at

He was near the table: he laid a sheet of
paper upon it, and began to write. The
paper is before me.

talked, whose arm is of such length that
1T might unlock and lock a certain door of
this house from the outside? Phoebe

Second, who had in her piece bag bits of

your parlor floor, where she had not by

Third, who interested herself most
strangely in your blood-staned green silk

Fourth, who was caught in a lie, while
trying to force the guilt of the murder upon
an innocent man? Phoebe Dole"
Mr.. DIX looked at me. 1 had gathered
myself together. That proves nothing"

Maria related with piteous little sobs the
story of her long subordination to Phoebe
Dole This sweet, child-like woman had
always been completely under the sway of
the others stronger nature. The subordna-
ton went back beyond my fathers original
proposal to her; she had, before he made
love to her as a girl, promised Phoebe she
would not marry, and it was Phoebe who
had, by representing to her that she was
bound by this solemn promise, led her to
write the letter to my father declining his
Offer and sending back the ring.
And. after all, we were going to get
married, if he had not-died,'' she said.
He was going to give me this ring again,
and he had had the other date put in. I
should have been 50 happy!'
She topped and stared at me with hor-
ror-stricken inquiry.

II saw Phoebe come out of your back
