deep coughing of her pipes seemed to
emphasize the scene.
Again the word was given; both pis-
tolls spoke together. AS the smoke
foated off, Bostock was seen standing
upright. Castex lay his full length
upon the ground.
Both doctors were instantly kneeling
by him. He never stirred. A small
hole in the forehead showed where the
bullet had traversed the brain.

I name him as he appeared to me in
the two hours that followed. He came
like the benign spirit of some old fairy
tale, bearing to me bright promise for
the future. Now, when long years
have passed, with all the full, strange
record with which this narrative deals,
I can think of the hour and the man in
no other way. It was my hour of
promise-he was my fairy prince.

has exchanged shots with you, declar-

of offense against him. Whether you
have or not, nobody but you two can
know. The language which gave you
offense was uttered in your own house,

one heard but you. Both of you ought
now to be satisfied; both of you have
vindicated your honor. Let the affair
end here"
Mr.. Bostock faced the speaker.
"Does that man." he asked, while his
voice trembled with passion, "does
that man affirm that he has not given
me just cause for offense?''

Castex from where he stood, with a

Attention

London. May 15.--The morning

the news from Shanghai and Pekin.
The Morning Post. which approves
many of the authors proposals, says.
however, that a quadruple alliance be-

Lord Beresford suggests, is impracti-

The champion Toledos will be here
this afternoon, to open series of three
games at the Island park. 1t will be
Toledo's first games away from home.
A big crowd should turn out to greet
the reorganized Wheeling team.
The infeld hole will be patched up
in to-day's game, and with material
which should be more satisfactory to
the fans" than Woodlock arG mazena,
If all the reports as to the form of these
players are to be credited Babb and
Taylor will make very fast infield,
and both are also extremely handy with
the willow. Both will be familiar faces.
Babb was one of the players brought
from the Pacific coast for the Wheeling
team of 1897. He was in poor form,
and after a short trial was allowed to
CO. Later he was picked up by Fort
Wayne, and showed wonderful improve
ment. Last season he was one of the
star infelders of the Interstate League.
Taylor is too well known to require fur
Their mention The fact that both these
players were drafted last fall is the best
evidence of their form in 1898.
Taylor and his wife are still at the
Howell House. Taylor has not entirely
recovered from an attack of Charley
horse" At the beginning of the season
he regarded himself in better shape
than at any period in his base ball ca
reer. He reported at Newark for pre-
liminary practice while the snow was
still on the ground, and the cold wealth
et in the first few days crippled the en-
tire Hartford team.
President Howell saw the game in
Toledo yesterday, and will return with
the club to-day. There viii be another
new face on the team in the person of
Catcher Twinem, of National League
fame. He is a good one, and while the
report that he has been signed is not yet
verified, he would be very valuable
acquisition.
Joe Rickert is dissatisfied with the
club to where he has been farmed by
Pittsburg, and would like to get to
Wheeling if he can secure his release.
He has written one or two letters to
Mr.. Howell. Rickert is one of the fast
est outfielders, and best base runners
in the country. Last season he electri-
fed the crowd in a game at Springfield
by stealing home on slow twirler and
scoring the winning run.
