Roeklin Belle Dumped the Talent at Union
 Park.
Lord Byron Ran a Poor Race Against Mountain
 Beauty.
The Call Tipped Eighteen Winners Out of Twenty
 Courses.

Out of twenty-five courses which were held yesterday at Union Coursing Park The Call tipped eighteen winners, conse- quently those who followed The Calls representations found themselves well in pocket at the end of the days sport.
 It was noticed yesterday that in some of the courses the dogs that were expected to run up to their past records were found sadly wanting in speed and the managers of the park will not be hitting very far from the mark if they will appoint 6 committee on investigation to report the methods of training that have been adopted by some dog owners, who not in- frequently house good dogs for a week previous to a meeting with the object of having the dog run stiff when he is called upon to handsomely defeat an opponent particular note.
 It is d very easy matter for the owner of a good dog which is drawn against a much inferior animal to conceive some plan wherein the short end in the betting will land him a handsome winner.
 As predicted in The Call of Saturday, the hareS which ran yesterday were top notchers, and with few exceptions they carried their pursuers the entire length of the field.
 The judging and slipping were very good and as a result excellent sport was wit messed by the large concourse of people who attended the meeting.
 In the race D6LWeeIl fIe6uOIu White Chief the betting was 10 to ] III favor of the importe,- dog, but the Chief demonstrated when he reached the hare after it had been turned from straight line by For Freedom that he was in the swim. He made two turns and a kill, thus scoring even points and a no course.
 In the run off the imported dog got a good hare and won rather easily, but the general opinion is that Freedom will have to show marked improvement in form and in running over yesterday to win the long end of the big stake.
 Rocklin Belle ran a beautiful course against Joy Bells. The latter was an s-to-1 favorite and was beaten pointless. If the Lady from Rocklin wins ner course to-day against Lissak she will stand excellent chance of running into the money and will need watching.
 The Veteran stake, with the age limit to five years and with eight entries, will be run to-day.
 The result of yesterdays meeting is as follows:
 Move On beat Terrona; Lady Grace beat Premier; Grasshopper beat Lady Penn; Bonita beat War Cloud; Kilkenny Girl beat Arapa- hoe; Mountain Beauty beat Lord Byron Forget For Freedom beat White Chief; Pretender beat Carmen; False Flatterer beat Burlington Bonanza beat Fair View; The Turk beat Sportsman Blackstone beat Bryant; Rusty beat Magic; Vigilant beat Fair Helen; Commodore beat Victor; Santa Alicia beat Lily; Tom Bell beat Ray Alfonso; Lissak beat Harkaway Rocklin Belle beat Joy Bells; Cavalier beat Douglas; Fear Not beat Mys- tery: FlyaWay beat Cannon Pasha
 The probable winners of the rundown in to- days meeting are: Move On, Bonita, Noun tain Beauty Promise Me, For Freedom, False Gold Very close-Commodore, Santa Alicia Rocklin Belle. Cavalier. Flyaway bye.

out and two on bases he gave Sheehan his base on balls and after that four hits sent in as many runs.
 Manager McGlynn furnished gen. uine surprise with the strong team he put in the field. It had been asserted that San Jose would not present nine worthy of the name of ball players, but their work yesterday showed them to be very much in the game. Ford's stick work was the most noticeable in- cident of their efforts, and, i'll fact, of the game Four times at bat that young man shot a triple, double and two singles without any apparent eff fort.
 The home team had first chance and H. Krug punched the second ball pitched over into left for the first hit of the season. Although his brother duplicated the hit, the team could not tally.
 But 1t was different with the visitors. They went right to work and the ball changed twice as the result. After Will Hams had struck out Fountain sent up high fly which H. Krug dropped. Ford drove the ball to left center for three bases, Pyne slipping while sprint ing to head it off. Fountain crossed the plate on the drive with the first run. Sheehan hit to short and Ford was caught at the plate. Stroecker threw Nlio lO otCOllO lO Sut SoifSCIoii OlL eiiiNi the runner kept on to third. Then Van Norden sent grounder down to Kel- ley and was safe on the latter's wide throw to first, Sheehan scoring. Hall was given his base on balls, but Collins ended the inning with high fly to 1 Pyne.
 San Francisco failed again in the sec 1 ond to connect, but San Jose didn't. With two men out Williams hit to left and stole second. Fountain duplicated the shot, sending Williams to third. Ford punched out another single in the same place, scoring Williams, and then Sheehan was given his base on balls, causing so much disaster. Van Norden lifted the ball up against left field 1 fence for two bases, sending two men home, and Fountain crossed the plate on H. Krug's high throw to head him

off. Five runs in all were netted in the | inning.
 The locals scored once in the third inning. Pyne, the first man up, was hit by the pitcher and took second on Lees single to right. Murphy's long fly to Hail advanced him to third and Fountains tumble of K. krug grounder allowed him to reach the plate.
 Nothing was done in the fourth, but San Jose made another notch in thelr shingle in the fifth inning on Sykes long drive to left for two bases, his clever steal of third and Fountain sacrifice fly to left.
 In the seventh the visitors increased their lead by two more tallies. Will nams, after two men were out, was given his base and stole second. Stroecker allowed Fountains third strike to get by him, giving the batter his base and sending Williams to third. Both men scored on FOrd'S third drive, double, but the batter ended the in ming by failing in his attempt to get home on passed ball.
 The local men took a brace in the eighth and made pair. Lee reached first on a fly which Van Norden could not get under. H. Krug touched oT double. Murphy dropped the ball in front of Wheeler and went out at first. K. Krug sent a hummer over third, and on Collins error Lee and his brother scored. Hearty sacrificed and Brockhoff was thrown out at first by Fountain.
 In the ninth they added four more buttons to their string, and although they played like fiends they could not win out. Kelly, the first man up, was safe on Williams error and Stroecker was presented with a base. Pyne filled the corners with single to left. Then Lee drove a double to deep center for two bases, sending in the other three H. Krug made a little infield hit and stole second, Lee going to third. He scored on Murphy's single to right, and 1t looked as though the good work would continue on indefinitely, but K Krug sent out a fly to Sheehan, who sent the ball to second before Murphy could get back to his base, and termin- ating the affair with the following score:

WChaDel of the Seas"

The most wonderful cave in the world
is in tne Island of Torga, in the South
Pacific. Byrch called it "a chapel OF
the seas" 1t is formed in a rock that
is almost surrounded by the ocean.
This rock is almost so feet high, and
broad proportionately. Many years
ago boy, the son of native chief, was
chasing a huge turtle, when his game
seemed to sink. into the rock. The Tad
watched and waited until the tide fell,
disclosing a small opening in the rock
about six feet under low-water mark.
Diving bodily, the young hunter entered
the aperture, and 60 his surprise came
to the sErfcce inside the rock. The
rock was hollow and it's interior was
found afterwards, when the natives ex-
plored it with torches, to contain many
beautiful stalactites. When attacked
and followed by enemies the natives,
who know the secret, Leave their ca
noes, plunge into the water, and disap-
pear. Their foes linger, astonished at
their disappearance, for no person not
acquainted with it would suspect that
the rock is hollow.-London Telegraph.

Fast Time to COIOrad o.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
st. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash trai n
No. 3, at 9.20 a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at ii 90, with di-
rect connection for Denver arriving at l.3O
a. M This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between st. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 245 p. m, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at 6 Is.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only un-
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
orado travel inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on ap.

some progress, and, as he is a patient
young man of brilliant parts, l make
bold to prophesy that the world will
soon be startled by lightning stroke
of genius which will blazon the little
hamlet of Nelsonville in characters of
fire on the present generation.
My wife and l are spending the sum-
mer at her residence on Sunset hill,
and we drive over to the old house
every day to talk and to encourage
the young genius.
A year has passed since Mr. Morley's
death; six months after that tragic
event Florence became my wife.
The first evening of our arrival at
Sunset hill I was sitting on the porch,
watching the violet tints down in the
valley. My wife was slowly pacing up
and down the walk.
She had been very quiet and sober all
that day, and 1 attributed her mood to
the sorrowful recollections which the
place would naturally call up.
Presently she came and knelt down
beside me. Resting her head on my
shoulder, she spoke.
II have something to tell you, my
misunderstanding which l have
kept hidden from you. But have been
punished sufficiently; for there has not
been that absolute trust and >nfidence
between us that l wished. It I'll my
fault. Promise to forgive me, ID l
will tell you my secret"
laughed at her, and placed my arm
around her. 1T must be something
terrible indeed" l exclaimed, in pre-
tended alarm. But as you are my wife,
of course there is no other way but to
forgive the wrong"
"I-I believe-papa was concerned
in the bank-robDery," she finally muir

"Good heavens, Florence! What can
you be dreaming of?' l exclaimed, in
great surprise.
1T is no dream; how wish 1t was!"
she answered, the tears falling fast.

truth"
"How do you know it?" asked.

ing, side by side, on the floor of my
bedroom.
The man whose life before the world
had been blameless and honorable, a
synonym for business virtue and in
tegrity, but who was in reality the
greatest rogue imaginable-who,f from
his capacity for engineering large en-
deavors, 1 knew must have been the
prime factor in the robbery-lay there
beside his tool, who had become as ac-
complished a rogue as his master.
Hypocrisy and pretense have always
inspired the greatest repugnance in
me. But, as l gazed down on the face
OF him whose daughter was my prom
ised wife, and remembered the bright
spot in all the blackness of his real
character, the love and affection for his
offspring, my heart was heavy with
sorrow for him.
That love, so deep, SO fond, that he
gave up his life rather than yield TO a
thought which might cause her unhap-
piness-surely such a love was atone
ment enough for the evil he had
wrought.
Mr.. Perry was standing beside me as
these thoughts flew through my mind.
II cannot understand how or why
Sylvester Morley should become mixed
up in this affair and so meet his death" "
the president said, in grave tones.
"Surely-but then that is too wild a
| thought to utter. But there is some
thing I cans1Nt understand about it."
"Oh, Mr.. Perry" 1 exclaimed, "it is
my fault. 1 should have explained be-
| fore, but the affair has sent my wits
ool-gathering." I handed him the
bond l had picked up, giving brief ac-
count of the finding. Then 1 went on:
after I fou Id the bond, Immediately

| tcrested party, being one of the trus-
tees of the bank, and l wished some
older heads advice. explained every
thing to him in answer to the numer-
| Gus questions he asked me-"
Mr.. Perry was listening intently, as
were also Wilson and Skinner, and the
perspiration broke from my forehead
as went on with the gigantic lie.

ing an investigation himself, and-and
so came here. / was in the cellar when
he came down, but it was as dark as

robbers and that I was trapped. did
not discover the truth until too late"
"Ah, that explains 1t ALL Mr.. Perry
said, when | had finished. THAT was
Morley, truly. He was always that
kind of man, and would never de-
pend upon another to accomplish
things when he could do 1t himself"
I could not help glancing furtively
at the two detectives, and received
from each a nod of approval.
