Pawtucket-GeneraI Notes.

Manager Burnham and his fine aggre-
cation from the Shoe City made their first
appearance on the Dexter street grounds
yesterday afternoon and defeated the Paw
tuckets in a well played and interesting
game, that was in doubt until the last
man was retired. Visions Of victory fitted
among the bleacherites as Todd started
toward the box to do the honors for the
home team, but these pleasant anticipa-
tions were somewhat dissipated by the
Brocktons, who, without delay, began to
falniliarize themselves with Mr.. Todd's
best efforts.
They opened up savagely on the Paw
tucket pitcher, scoring three runs in the
first and four in the second period. Then
Frank was taken out and Horner then
went on the rubber. The latter held the
visitors well i'm hand for the remainder OF
the session.
McKenna pitched for Brockton and was
batted freely. The score stood even at the
end OF the fifth, and the game was won by
Brockton in the ninth by two two baggers
by Henry and Krieg.
AThere were few redeeming features,

inning, when he captured Magoon trying

and Kreig both captured difficult foul
flies, while Horner made star catch of a

After the visitors secured their winning
lead in the first two innings the home
team tied il by some good batting in the
fifth, after Hickey had missed an easy
chance. The score then remained a tie
until the first half of the ninth, when
Henry and Kreig put up doubles and sent
the winning run across the plate. Kreig
led at the bat, and Nadeau and Moss also
did good work. The score:

The consul sighed. Karl had evidently
not yet got off the line of the New York
Central and Erie roads. But does he re-
member yet what he did with his papers?"
said the consul, persuasively.
Ach! What does he want with papers
when he could make the laws? They were
dumb, stupid things-these papers, to him >
But his appetite remains good, hope?"
suggested the consul.
This closed the conversation, although
Karl came on many other nights, and his
toy figure quite supplanted the tall cor
poral of hussars in the remote shadows Of
the hall. One night, however, the consul
returned home from visit to a neighbor-
ing town a day earlier than he was ex-
pected. AS he .neared his house he was
little surprised to find the windows of his
sitting room lit up, and that there were no
signs of Trudschen in the lower hall or pas
sages. He made his way upstairs in the
dark and pushed open the door of his
apartment. To his establishment Karl was
sitting comfortably in his own chair, his
cap off, before student lamp on the table,
deeply engaged in apparent study. So pro-
found was his abstraction that 1t was a
moment before he looked up, and the con-
sui had good look at his usually beaming
and responsive face, which, however, now
struck him as wearing singular air of
thought and concentration. When their
eyes at last met. he rose instantly and
saluted, and his beaming smile returned.
But either from his natural phegm or ex-
traordinary self-control, he betrayed neith-
er embarrassment nor alarm.
The explanation he gave was direct and
simple. Trudschen had gone out with the
Corporal Fritz for a short walk, and lad
asked him to keep house during their ab-
sence. He had no books, no papers, MOTH
ing to read in the barracks, and no chance
to improve his mind. He thought the Herr
Consul would not object to his looking at
his books. The consul was toucned-it was
really a trivial indiscretion-and as much
Trudschen's fault as karfs! And II the Door
fellow had any mind to improve-his re-
cent attitude certainly suggested thought
ard refiection-the consul were a brute to
reprove him. He smiled pleasantly as Kari
returned a stubby bit of pencil and some
greasy memoranda to his breast pocket
and glanced at the table. But to his sur
prise 1t was a large map that Karl had
been studying. and to his still greater sur
prise, a map Of the consuls own district
You seem to be fond of map studying"
said the consul, pleasantly. You are not
thinking of emigrating again.
"Ach, mol" said Karl, simply, sit is nv
cousine vot hat LII near here find her."
But he left on Trudschen's return and the
consul was surprised to see that while
karfs attitude toward her had not chang cd
that the girl exhibited less efrusiveness
than before. Believing 1t to be partly the
effect OF the return of the sergeant. the
ccEsul taxed her with faithlessness But
Trudschen looked grave.

ours. He cares no more for poor girls like

Karl struck him oddly.
A month or two elapsed without further
news of Karl, when one afternoon he sud-

again sought the consular quiet 10 write a

which were lying ON the table. He was evil

them and the thin, flimsy affairs he was

more impressed when the consul told him
what they were.

would you like to put your letter in one
of these envelopes?" continued the official
The beaming face and eyes of Karl were
a sufficient answer After all, 1t was
small favor granted to this odd waif, who
seemed to still cling to the consular pro-
tection. He handed him the envelope and
left him addressing it in boyish pride.
1t was KarPs last visit to the consulate.
He appeared to have spoken truly, and the
consul presently learned that he had in
deed been transferred. through some high
official manipL lation to the personal serv-
ice of the governor of Rheinfestung. There
was weeping among the DienStmadchen of
Schlachtstadt, and a distinct loss of orig
iIality and lishtneSS in the gatherings OF
the gentler daren. His memory still sur
