He was on the alert, and had not gone
far, when he deserted that for which he
was looking. From dwelling on the
left shone light, its few rays piercing
the trees and reaching the highway,
from which it was separated by long
lane, inclosed by tall trees. whose tons
appeared almost to meet. =
The lieutenant hurried his mace and
turning through the open gate, entered
the avenue that recalled MANY he had
seen in his native state and for the mo-
ment caused touch of inconsistencies.

q dog, but the place, like General FL

and grounds were similar to those he
had left a short time before, but of
much more modest proportions
This dwelling. it may as well be
stated, was the residence of two sisters,
one OF whom was widow and the 9th
er unmarried, both in middle life. They
were the only occupants, with the ex-
ception Of a number Of colored servants,
some of whom dwelt in small wing Of
the building and the others in their
regular quarters.
Without hesitation, the lieutenant
stepped upon the porch and was in the
act Of reaching up to sound the big
brass knocker. when the door was drawn

Burlingame.

The second half Of the home-and-home
match between teams of eight represent
ing the San Francisco and Oakland golt

the Presidio links and ended in a victory
for the home eight by nine holes. Ihe
Oakland team, however, being ~ up on
the first half of the match, which was
played on Saturday, April s, on the Adams

that the scores Of the two halves should
be added together, Oakland won the sec
ond match with a score of 20 up. The San
Francisco club having won the first double
match played at Oakland December 1O,

match, and the total result is tie, which
will be played off next month either at
Burlingame or on the links or the san

The composition of both teams and the
rank of the players had undergone some
change since April 8, A. B. Williamson

DIR. C. T. Hibbetts and r. II. Gaylord in
the San Francisco eight and w. P. john

BY MUSIC.

Sweet strains from a violin were instru-
mental in preventing a highway robbery
early today and caused the subsequent
arrest of one Of the alleged highwaymen,
who, under the name of William La
Monte, was fined $40 and costs by Justice
SABBATH, says the Chicago News. Joseph
Klepach. 1543 West Sixty-seventh street,
was the complainant. He is a mechanic
and a violin student.
Klepach had been attending a party at
Fish and West Eighteenth streets, n
was returning to his home when he en-
countered three young men at West
Twenty-second and Halstead streets.
Throw up your hands, shouted one Of
the trio, and they proceeded to search
him. When they reached his violin case
he told them to wait a minute and he
would play a tune for them.
The novel proposition appealed to the
highwaymen and his offer was accepted.
Klepach played as he had never played
before, and the robbers seemed hypno-
tized. They did not move until they saw
two policemen from the Canalport avenue
police station, who were attracted by the
music and arrived in time to see the three
robbers dart down a side street and es-
cape. LaMonte was traced as soon as
the officers learned what was the matter
and captured.
