Mrs. Clare sat silent until Mavis had
finished the sad story of her betrayal
During its narration she made no remark,
but frow gathered her brows, and a
keen observer would have noticed the flash
in her fine dark eyes.
THAT is ALL said Mavis at length. 'You
will not turn me out, now that you know
that I am wife? that 1 have no claim to
the title that I onceah and still OGDEN
the most sacred upon earth, and my child
my bonny boy-has no name"
Mrs. Glare saw that she was crying quietly.
The woman was deep in thought
And you will not tell me the name of that
Villain-that scoundrel?'
II cannot Of what would it be?'' re-
piled Mavis, mounrnfully.
And the church in which you were mar
ried? Will you tell me that?"
Again Mavis answered.
81 cannot. L do not even know the name
of it, or the street in which it stood I ONLY
know it was in the city Adri-he took the
certificate"
What a fool you were!' exclaimed Mrs
Clare, abruptly, but not unkindly, and she
left the room.
When she returned, she was dressed fol-
walking.
Mavis thought what a very handsome
woman she still was

ask Mrs. Dunn, who has the drawing-room
to look in upon you and give you your tea
Here are some papers, amuSe yourself will

Mavis assured her that she would be al
right, and in a few minutes heard the hal

Mrs Clare had departed.

EXCHANGE COON CLUB.
A Banquet of Roast Coon and Flxins'
Greatly Enjoyed.

If the members of the Catchem Coon
Club had dropped into the Exchange Ho-
tel last evening about o'clock they would
have witnessed sight to drive them mad
with envy. Seated round festive board
in the dining room were dozen members
of the Exchange Coon Club, and In the
centre of the table were two well roastea
coons, to which the members OF the club
weren't doing a thing.
The Exchange Club hunts so success
fully that it averages coon man when
Il goes out Other clubs may bring out
half a dozen members for half dozen
nights and bring oack nary coon. But
when the Exchange Club sends out any
hunters, in spite of the pickets the coons
throw out, every man gets one before the
start for home is made.
Joe Beahn and Bradley Nichols of the
club went to Northboro Wednesday night,
They looked well on the supper table last
eyering. Seated around the table were
Mr.. Nichols and Mr.. Beahn, heroes of the
hunt Paul Henry Frank BEGINNER 2. s.
Knowles, T. H. Davis, 7. F. Kenniery,
Al Adams, Willie Trulson, Charles Ayers,
Mark Weaver and Charles j. Pratt:
Everything that goes to make up swell
banquet helped those coons out wonder
fully There was everything in the shape
Of "fxin's." even to half a dozen quarts
of a liquid which, strangely enough, the
hunters referreq hnd TO as Stra Sood Fry
to the coons, it was the most popular
thing on the table.
After supper Paul Henry and Bradley
Nichols made short speeches. e. S,
Knowles related a wonderful story of
quail hunt he had yesterday. He wan
dered on the links at Tatnuck during the
hunt, for which Mr.. Knowles would have
considered himself golf ball If he knew
the game. He was the victim of a drive
by one OF the players and of put by an
other, For he was put off.
Mr.. Knowles story Of his prowess with
the gun went finely until one of the club
suggested that maybe he didn't get all
those birds yesterday before his gun. T.
III. Davis who knows a thing or two
about quail, was appointed an expert
examiner, and the quail We're submitted
to MIR. Davis inspection, He didn't hesi-
tate a moment In declaring them week
old. and after taking sniff-one was
enough - every man present heartily
agreed with Mr.. Davis
vote of thanks to Mr.. Nichols for his
hospitality and the freedom of the hotel
was passed by the club.

cUNHA BACK IN GAME.
Yale's Work Shows Very Perceptible
Improvement.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 9.-The Yale
foot ball coachers decided to lessen the
open practice of the eleven this after
noon and sent the men in for but 20
minutes of playing. The usual hour Of
secret work was held preceding this.
The value of the secret practice and
Of the signal morning practice was APP
parent today, the coachers commenting
encouragingly on the showing made
With much less difficulty or effort than
for days past the varsity side drove
the college rushers down the field with
a strong offense that for several
charges carried the subs off their feet.
At guard, tackle and around the ends
of the college side the varsity backs
carried the ball safely.
Keane, Adams and Ordway were at
half back with Dupee again at full
back. Fincke was at quarter and
Cunha, for the first time this week at
centre faced Tomlinson, who gave the

BASE BALL SITES.

honest manager in base balloon. He
thinks also Manager Leonard is one of
the most economical managers in the
business. 1t does not appear that Man
ager Leonard will see his head drop into
the basket.
Manager Selee said he isn't convers-
ant of the doings of the new league. He
does not think it will injure the Nation
al, If it gets going. He would not belit-
tie the league He said while league
people claimed it would not amount to
anything, they had said the same of the
brotherhood. He does not think the or
ganization is as strong as the brother
hood When asked if the new league
starts 25-cent ball in Boston it will
compel the league to drop 50-cent ball,
he replied that he does not think so. He
thinks the quality of league ball will
remain so much superior to that of the
new league, if it starts, that no reduc-
ton will be necessary.
He said league magnates are con-
tident the two years option clause will
prevent league players from joining the
new organization He mentioned a
conversation he had with a league
magnate regarding the very point.
When the league magnate said the
players could be enjoined from playing
in the new league, Mr.. Selee remarked
the magnates thought the same before,
but the contract didn't hold in court
That's just why this one will hold, ;"
said the magnate. I'VE got the very
best advice we could from a legal
standpoint, and drew up the clause on
that advice" The clause referred to is
two years clause which compels a
player to play with the club If he signs
and gives the club an option on him
for the succeeding year. Mr.. Selee said
the club could not make the player
play with 1t, but it can prevent him
from playing ball elsewhere.
He talked with The Spy man on va
rious matters pertaining to base ball,
during which he spoke of Martin Berg
en- in such a complimentary manner
that nobody can gainsay his good will
toward Bergen. He referred to Bergen
as not only one of the best players in
the league, but one of the most gentle
manly, and one of the best morally,
and the sincerity of his statements was
shown by his frankness in speaking of
what he considered a fault with Berg
en-.
Down Boston way there is consider
able mystery about the new clubs
grounds if one is started in that city.
Tom Mccarthy, who has been interest
ed in the proposed club thus far has
the fans guessing by saying Charles
River park is not the place selected,
but the site will surprise everybody,
being so central. Mr.. Selee said last
evening he wouldn't attempt to say
definitely, but doesn't thtink a guess at
the grounds now occupied by the chutes
on Huntington avenue, or a vacant lot
farther out on the same avenue would
be far out of the way. He has looked
over both sites as a representative of
the Boston league team.
Mr.. Selee was the guest of j. F. Re
gan last evening.

HE MAY NOT RETURN.
Pittsburs Club viii Likely Keep Rick
ert Out of Minor Leagues.

Pittsburs Club viii Likely Keep Rick
ert Out of Minor Leagues.
Joe Rickert, left fielder for the Wor-
cester ball team, will not return to
this city until next spring, if he comes
at all. He is now at his home in
Springfield, o., where he intends to
winter. Rickert recently wrote P. H.
Regan, informing the latter of his de-
cision. He says he hopes to be able
to play with the Worcester team next
season, but his letter indicates that
there is considerable doubt on the point
He informed Mr.. Regan he is under re-
serve by Pittsburg, The information
is not encouraging for the chances Of
seeing Rickert in Worcester next sea-
son.
Followers of the game recall that
Rickert was ordered to report in New
York to the management of the Pitts
burgS after the close of the Eastern
league season. He went and accompa-
MED the team to Boston, where he and
Patsy Donovan, manager of the club,
had a long conference regarding sal
ary.. Rickert was offered 1925 a
month by the Pittsburg management,
but refused to play for that amount.
He told Donovan he would not start
in with any National league club for
less than $3.50 a month. He said at
that time he would much prefer play
ing with a minor league team another
season for less money than he wanted
from the Pittsburgs. They could not
come to terms for which Donovan ex-
pressed much regret.
Had it been left entirely to Donovan,
they would have reached terms easily
enough, for he places a good value on
Rickerts S playing But President Kerr
of the Pittsburgs is the power behind
the throne in the management of the
club, and Donovan had to consult him.
Kerr would not give Rickert the
amount he desired. Rickert packed up
his duds and came at once to this city
entering the employ of Tim Sullivan
on Mechanic street, dispensing high
ones in musty mugs. He was called
to his home by sickness of his mother
Since leaving, he has corresponded
with Pittsburg, and learns he is under
reserve. In his letter to Kerr Rick
ert asked if he would not be allowed
to play in Worcester the coming sea-
son. Kerr did not reply to that, sim
ply telling him that he is under re-
serve by Pittsburg. 1t looks from that
as if Kerr intends to keep Rickert from
any of the minor leagues next season.

HUOT'S ANSWER.
He Will Not Stand Again
as a Candidate for
Alderman.

Alderman Napoleon P. Huot reaftirms
his original statement that he is not a
candidate for reelection. Several pc
titions asking him to reconsider his or
iginal decision, over the signatures OF
1900 citizens of Worcester, were pre-
sented 10 Mr.. Huott yesterday noon,
and, while he appreciates the effort in
his behalf, and the good feeling evil
denced toward him. not only by the
French-spealIing people, but the public
at large, he will adhere to his original
declaration.
Mr.. Huot says that he has not changed
his mind from the first He has served
the city to the best Of his ability dur
ing the three years in which voters of
Worcester have seen fit to honor him,
and he IS willing to retire from active
political life Another strong reason
which influenced Mr.. Huot's decision
was the wish of his family. The duties
of a. member of the city government
necessitates late hours and considerable
hard work, not apparent to the ordin-
ary citizen, who may imagine that the
principal part of an alderman's labor is
performed in sitting through the reg
ular meetings.
Mr.. Huot is Sc years old and says
he feels that he has reached that period
in life when he should look after his
health. He retires with the conscious
ness that he has done his duty as well
as he could. He has not missed meet
ing of the board or a committee except
when prevented by Illness, and in all
things pertaining to the work of the
board has conducted himself in a man
ner which has warranted the confidence
and esteem, not only of his associates
in the board but the public at large
The men who signed the petitions ask
ing Mr.. Huot to reconsider are not con-
fined to French-speaking people of the
city alone, but include prominent poll
ticians and property owners in every
ward in the city A prominent repub-
lican said yesterday that in his esti-
nation Mr. Huot had done more for
the republican party among people of
his nationality, and for mis- people as
WELL than any other individual in Wor-
cester. He has looked to the welfare
Of the city and at the same time been
an able representative of the people of
his nationality.

RESUME PRACTICE.
Kerns and Quinn Expect to Get Into
the Foot Ball Togs Soon.

Frank ]. Kerns of this city expects
to be able to resume practice With the
Georgetown varsity foot ball team
Monday. John J. Quinn, who was also
a member of the foot ball squad, thinks
he can resume training at the same
time. Kerns made the team by his good
work, and was one of the regular half
backs. Several days ago he sustained
a bad wrench of the knee, which has
laid him up since. He is able to be
about on crutches. His leg is improv-
ing rapidly, and he thinks he can play
in Wednesdays game with University
of Virginia, which is the most i'm
portant game Of the season in the
south. Quinn has developed into a
good foot ball player since going to
Georgetown and is sub quarterback
and sub halfback. Arthur Duffey, last
years famous sprinter of Worcester
Academy, is attending the university
and is a room mate Of Kerns.

Two additions have been made to the

As This is considerably behind what it
was year ago at this'time. The dry

responsible. Nobody thinks the num-

tent, as the breeding season was a
good one. But the dryness of the
weather prevented the scent remaining
