 Philadelphia, Nov. 17-At the Walton hotel last night there was a scene that was not down on the sched- ule of the National Base Ball league meet.
 About o'clock George w. Burn ham and party of kindred spirits started toward the cafe for refresh ments. In the corridor leading to the cafe they encountered President Freedman of the New York club. Burnham slapped the Giants boss op the back, saying: Come on, Freed man, let's get drink.
 MT. Freedman drew himSsEf up to his full height, threw out his chest and said in freezing tones: Excuse me, sir, but am MT Cwith Ihe em- phasis on the Mr) Freedman
 This reply did not altogether com ply with Burnham's idea of go2d fel- lowship and he proceeded to give the New York magnate verbal roasting
 George Davis then showed a d;spo- siFion to take fall out of Burnham but he was quickly taken in hand by President Hart of the Chicagos and a possible scene of violence was avoided Subsequently, Freedman comp aimed to the hotel people of the iadignity to which he had been subjected and the latter sent an officer Ito MT. Burn ham who was in the cafe, requesting him to retire. But George was in nc humor of retiring He held the fort declaring that ne would like to set tha man who would have the Eemerity to eject him. He stayed.
 Buck Ewing completed a deal las night by which he secured Pink Flaw ley and Elmer Smith from Pittsburg The latter gets in exchange, Gray Rhines, Schriver and Mccarthy ant a cash bonus from Cincinnati.

bottom of everything" said the Major,
uttering the old truth with convic-
ton.
David and Maurice both being alb
sent, the one in London, the other at
Deanminster, Major Jen was compelled
to dine alone. This he disliked doing,
so hurrying over his dinner with all
speed he betook himself to the smok-
ing-room with book. Here he lighted
a cigar, chose a comfortable chair
near the open window, and attempted
to read; but the somnolent influence
of the evening was upon him, anG
before his cigar was half done the
good Major was sound asleep.
Outside a warm wind was blowing,
and the air was filed with the per-
fume of flowers. In the darkly blue
sky hardly a cloud could be seen, and
the moon, Just showing her orb above
the tree tops, flooded the still lovliness
of the night with wave after wave
of cold light. All was full OF charm,
spellbound, as 1t were, by the magic Oh
moonlight, when suddenly a long. wild
cry struck shuddering through the
silence.
Accustomed, as an old campaigner,
to sleep lightly, Major Jen was on his
feet in an instant, and again heard
that terrible shrek. 1t seemed 10
come from the direction Of the high
road. and thinking that some evil was
being done, Jen, without loss OF time
raced across the lawn and into the
avenue. In few minutes he arrived
at the gate and stepped out into the
wide and dusty road; a black mass was
living some distance down, and towards
this ran Jen with an undefinable sense
of evil clutching at his heartstrings.
The black mass proved to be the Dody
of a man, cold and still. Jen turned
the corpse over and recoiled. Inc
dead man was Maurice Alymer.

CHAPTER VILLA CRY IN THE

So far the reader may wonder at the
constituent elements of this story.
African witchcraft, mysterious strang-
ers, and barbaric women seem to be out
of place when set in the sober frame
work Of an English provincial town.
But romance is not dependent upon
landscape or on surroundings for its
occurrence; it is to be found every
where, and very often in the most I'M
likely places. Here, for instance, by
some trick of Fate, certain people had
come together, certain passions had
been aroused, and now that the drama
had been set in motion, it seemed like
ly that it would play Itself out TO 4
