The wind blew from the direction
of Greenland all day yesterday, with
occasional dashes of spray from the
Labrador coast, and the clouds were
black and lowering. Teeth chartered

Nevertheless, in spite of the protests
of the elements, the professional
season was opened in Rock Island.
AS per schedule, the Rock Island
team, wrapped in furs and overcoats,
boarded an open car at the Rock ISL

companied by the local managers and

when they heard the band and saw

frightened up and felt seasonable for

gone a block and the strains of music
had been drowned in the wind, that
bleak November feeling came back
and they said. Baseball be jiggered. :"

STIIs Siberian was not Michael Stro-
goff% asked q second time Ivan Oga-
ref.
"No, it was not be-" replied second
time Maria Strogoff. "Do you think
that for anything in the world would
deny son whom God has given me-?
Ivan Ogareff regarded with an evil
eye the old woman who had braved
him to the face He did not doubt but
that she had recognized her son in this
young Siberian Now. if this son had
first renounced his mother and if his
mother renounced him in her turn it
could occur only from the most weighty
motive.
Every circumstance went to confirm
his suspicious. If he could but lay his
hand upon this pretended merchant of
Irkutsk and strip off his disguise, would
he not find treasure indeed? Would
not his superiors we'll reward his adrost-
ness and his success? Would not the
cZar Of Russia scowl with rage when
he learned that his courier was in the
hands of his foes?
Ivan Ogaref had therefore no doubt
that the pretended Nicholas Korpanof
was Michael Strogof, courier Of the
czar, seeking concealment under false
name and charged with some mission
which it would have been important
FOR him to know. He therefore at once
gave orders for his pursuit. Then he
said:
"Let this woman be conducted to
Tomsk." returning toward Maria Stro-
goff.
And while the soldiers brutally drag
ged her along he added between his
teeth:
"When the moment arrives, l shall
know how to make her speak, this old
sorceress!'

ahsrrG Fashions.

Some of the fashions in France dur
ing the reign of Queen Marie were ez'
ceed!ngly absurd. particularly hair,
dressing and hats. which were trim
med with such an extravagant wealth
Of feathers that the coaches had to
have their seats lowered. According
to Nine. Campan. mothers and hus-
bands murmured. and the general ru-
NOR was that the queen would ruin the
French ladies"
One day Louis XVI. decided to for
bid the court in q body to follow the
royal hunt in coaches. In order to be
freer be wished only to permit real
sportsmen to attend. The noble Ia
dies Immediately rebelled, and the
Princess of Monaco criticised the deci-
sion by means Of her headdress. upon
which arose Il miniature royal coach,
followed by two gentlemen on foot in
CATERS. On the left Of this was dis
played a cypress garnished with black
tears, the large roots being formed of
Grape.
More absurd still was the hairdress-

mire her son. the Due de Beaujolais,

En Watched Them,

The following is one Of the stories
told about Eugene Field:
There were visitors in prospect one
afternoon in the Field household and
a strike in the culinary department.
Mischief was at flood tide. and Mrs.
Field was vainly endeavoring 10 be
everywhere at once. when the man of
"sharps and fats" appeared in the
kitchen doorway with folio in bis
hand.
"Oh. won't you watch those pies for
me while run upstairs an instant 2
his wife exclaimed. BE sure not to
let the meringue scorch-it would ruin
them; you'd better give me that book
or they'll be burned to crisp" With
mock meekness Mr.. Field allowed her
to carry off his treasure. On returning
she was Mortified to find the oven door
wide open and the rich. fluffy meriusue
fat, tough and leatherllke.
They're ruinedr' she exclaimed in
dismay. why didn't you keep the
oven door shut?" =
Keep the door shut" Mr.. Field
repeated in very genuine amazement.
"Why, you told me to watch them ev'
cry instant. and I'd like to know how
I could do that with the oven door
