nished.

Closely following the expansion of
the American league comes another
baseball organization which will
branch out and occupy the part of
the territory surrendered by President
Johnson's cohorts when the latter
went east for additional cities. Presi-
dent Charles Stroebel, of the Toledo
club of the Interstate league, has sent
out notice to owners of grounds in
Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Des Moines, Louisville, Dayton, Co.
lumbus. Grand Rapids and Indian
apolis requesting them to meet in
Chicago within the next few days for
the purpose of considering the ques-
ton of organizing new league of the
central states.
With the abandonment of Kansas
City and Minneapolis by the Ameri-
can league and the probable removal
of the club from indianapolis rich
field was left for some minor organ
ization, and the practical disruption
of the Interstate league furnished the
additional towns to add to the nucleus
formed by the former American
league cities. New Castle, Wheeling
and Youngstown dropped out of the
Interstate league before the close of
the season and Anderson and Muncie,
which were substituted, failed to
meet expectations. There are several
good ball towns in Ohio, but not
enough TO form an independent
league These will be made the east
ern division of strong league while
the twin cities and Manning's old
stamping ground will be the western
representatives.
To Furnish Fast Ball.
Louisville and Indianapolis have in
years past proved good Investments.
and in fast company, such as the pro-
posed league is capable of furnishing,
they should once again be dividend
paying properties. Toledo and Day
ton are leaders in Ohio, while the
enthusiasts in Grand Rapids have
always clamored for a tirst-class team
in first class company. Rock Island
has for several years been seeking TO
identify itself with a 1irst-class base
ball organization, and here is an OPP
portunitv to at least investigate.
At the conference which is called to
meet in Chicago there will undoubt-
eddy be more than eight cities repre-
sented, but it is the intention of the
promoters to limit the organization
to that number. Those which can
offer the best guarantee will be given
the franchises. While there are but
five or six cities considered for the
western division there may be d
dozen applicants from the eastern
section. Toledo and Louisville, with
Indianapolis, if that town does not re-
main in the American league, are the
most likely memb ers. The fourth
would be selected from such cities as
Dayton, Grand Rapids, Columbus and
Fort Wayne.
A league formed from the above
cities would be almost on par with
the American league as constituted
previous to this season. 1t would be
stronger than any baseball organiza-
ton with the. exception of the two
major leagues. The cities included
in the call are large enough to sup
port strong clubs with minimum
salary schedule which would be equal
to that paid many of the players in
the National league today.

well-nigh hated Squeers as he hurried

failure. His bright blue eyes were
clouded and his face flushed with vex-

CHAPTER ~.

The review that morning had drawn
crowd to the drill grounds that
bafiled the efforts of the guards. Car
riages from camps and carriages from
town, carts from the suburbs, euues-
TRANS from the parks and pedestrians
from everywhere had gradually en-
croached within kicking distance of the
heels of the cavalry escorting the gem
eral commanding the department, and
that official noted with unerring eve
that the populace was coming up on his
Hanks, so to speak, at the moment when
the etiquette of the service required
that he should be gazing only to his i'm
mediate front and responding to the sa-
ntes of the marching column. Back of
him, ranged in long, single rank, was
drawn up what the newspapers unani-
mously described as u brilliant" staff.

full wave of his forage cap was the only
greeting he dare trust himself TO give
as after a few minutes of fruitless wait
ing, the vacant seat was given to an
other officer and the carriage rolled
rapidly away. \ second or two it was
hidden from his sight behind the large
wall tents along the line Of fence, then
shot into full view again as he stood
at the end of the company street look
ing eagerly for its temperance. And
then occurred a little thing that was
destined to live in his memory for many
day, and that thrilled him with new
and strange delight. lie had never been
of the so-called "spoouey" set at the
varsity. Pretty girls galore there were
about that famous institute, and he had
danced at many student party and
romped through many a reel, but the
nearest he had ever come to something
more than a mere Jolly friendship for a
girl was the regard i'm which he held
his partner in the "miNed doubles"
but that was all on account of her ex-
uberant health, spirits, general come
illness of face and form, and exquisite
skill in tennis. But this day a new
and eager longing was eating at his
heart; strange, dun pang seemed TO
seize upon it as he noted i'm a flash that
the seat that was to have been his was
. occupied by an officer many years his
senior, a man he knew only by sight
and an enyiable reputation. man
whose soldierly, clean-cut face never
turned an instant, for his eyes were
fixed upon lovely picture on the OPP
posite seat-Amy Lawrence bending
eagerly forward and gazing with her
beautiful eyes alight with sympathy,
interest and frank liking in search of
the sorely disappointed young officer.
There he isl" she cried, though too far
away for him TO hear, and then, with
no more thought of coquetry than a
kitten, with no more motive in the
world than that OF conveying to him
an idea of her sorrow, her sympathy,
her perhaps pardonable and eXagger-
ated Indignation at what she deemed
an act of tyranny on the part of his com
mander, with only an instant in which
TO convey it all-her sweet face flushed
and her eyes famed with the light Of
her girlish enthusiasm-ip that instant
she had kissed her hand TO him, and
then Col. Armstrong, turning sudden
ly and sharply to see who could be the
object Of interest so absorbing, caught
one fitting glimpse of Billy Gray lift
ing his cap in quick acknowledgment
and the words that were on the tip
of Armstrong; tongue the moment be-
fore were withheld for more auspi-
cious occasion-and it did not come too
soon.
IL was only four days after that in
itial meeting in the generals tent the
foggy evening of the girls first visit
to camp, but both in city and on the
tented field there had been several oc-
casions on which the colonel had been
in conference with Mr.. Prime and in
company with the young ladies.
Junior officers had monopolized the
tune and attention Of the latter. but

Like those latter, possibly, her thoughts
were changing direction.
Not ten minutes later occurred the
collision between the hack and the
neels that resulted in the demolition or
one and decentralization" of the rider
of the victor. While the latter Yves led
away by the obedient Mr.. Ellis lest the
sight of him should bring on another
nervous attack, Mrs. Garrison was suf-
fering herself to be comforted. Her
nerves were gone, but she had not lost
her head. Lots of Presidio DANES and
damsels were up on the heights that
day in such vehicles as the post afford
ed. None appeared in anything so
stylish and elegant as the carriage of
the Prime party. She was new and
comparative stranger there, and it
would vastly enhance her social
prestige, she argued, TO be seen in such
"swell' surroundings. with little
tact and management she might even
arrange matters so that, willy nilly, her
friends would drive her thither instead
Of taking Col. Armstrong back to
camp. That would be n stroke worth
playing. She owed Stanley Armstrong
bitter grudge, and had nursed II long.
She had known him ten years and hated
him nine of them. Where they met and
when 1t really matters not. In the army
people meet and part in Il hundred
places when they never expected to
meet again. She had married Frank
Garrison in a hand gallop, said the gar
rison chronicles, before she mad known
him two months, said the men, before
he knew her at ALL said the women.
She was four years his senior, IL the
chaplain could be believed, and five
months his junior # she could. What
ever might have been the discrepancy
in their ages at the time of the cere-
mony no one would suspect the truth
who saw them now. 1t was he who
looked aged and careworn and
harassed, and she who preserved her
youthful bloom and viyacity.
And now, as she reclned as though
still too weak and shaken to leave the
carriage and return to saddle, her quick
wits were planning the scheme that
should result in her retaining, and his
losing, the coveted seat. There was lit
tie time to lose. Most OF the crowd had
scattered, and she well knew that he
was only waiting for her to leave be-
fore he would return. Almost at the
instant her opportunity came. A COW
cred wagon refined suddenly alongside
and kind and sympathetic voices hailed
her: "Do let us drive you home, Mrs
Garrison; you must have been terribly
shaken" She recognized at once the
wife and daughter of a prominent Off
Ger of the post.
"Oh, how kind you are" she cried. 81
was hoping some one would come. In
deed, | did get a little wrench" And
then, as she moved. with a sudden gasp
of pain, she clasped Miss Lawrence's
extended hand.
Indeed, you must not move. Mrs.
Garrison" said that young lady. Eve
