Ihey all came tunlbltnD to meet Langdon.
sense of relief, yet hardly liked to own
1t even to himself. Santley he cared
little about, but Charming had stood
his friend and served him WELL Why
should he not have welcomed Chan
ning's presence? Why should he Sc
cretly rejoice that Charming was not
here?
With the old accustomed salute and
with joy in their honest eyes a brace of
battery men sprang TO aid him as the
little party dismounted ina lovely glade
among the crested hills. White tents
cleaned among the pines in the setting
sun. Dogs and children, with loud ac-
claim, came tumbling to meet him
Melville, glad and genial. linked his
arm in that of his guest and led him to
the campfire. Two sturdy young Mel
villcs climbed and twined about his
legs and beat him Justify upon the back
as the ladies arose to greet him, Mrs.
Melville with frankly extended hand,
while Ethel Grahame, looking the pic
ture of health and serenity in a jersey
waist and Tam O'Shanter. clamped
huge earthen bowl In one rounded arm
and presented a spoonful of strip, her
soft cheek dimpling, her white teeth
cleaning between the ripe red lips.
Langdon bowed over Mrs. Melville's
hand and bent both knees in abortiye
attempt to sip the contents of the
spoon, n difficult feat without the aid
Of the youngsters and one that only re-
suited on their part in IL climbing race
for his back and on his to still further
prostration. 1t was just as well for
Channing's peace Of mind that he had
not been included in the family plan.
1t might have been better had not that
plan likewise omitted Santley, who had
found means to get away from battery
duties and to take the 80 mile ride into
the heart of the hills on the trail of his
hopes and, sitting in saddle at the edge
of the glade, to look ON at this pretty
picture and then turn and curse the
folly that had led him thitller. Others
might welcome Langdon; he could and
would not. Neither could he spend the
night, as he had planned, in Melvilles
camp. In bitterness of spirit he rode
back a dozen miles to miners cabin,
and Torrance was his confidant when
at noon next day he returned to duty

The announcement is made that Elm met Heidrich, the noted centertielder of the St Louis team, may never play ball again. He has been summoned to attend the funeral of his father and. as the latter leaves q large lumber business that will need managing, it is expected that Emmet will desert the ball field. His loss will be q heavy one to the Cardinals.
 Joseph Garceau, better known as Joe Gasso. the New Haven rooter, while working at the top of a thirty foot ladder yesterday, received a shock and was thrown to the ground. GassO is the fellow who from the top seat of the bleachers Keeps up a running ire all through the game. He was taken to the hospital. where it was found that the shock had made him violently insane.
 Jimmy Gardiners face Is calculated to rob any man Of hit. It Is the most wonderful piece of work ever seen on a ball field. Standing in posi- tion to pitch all that is visible of the upper part of Gardiner is a pair of twisted arms. through which is shot or squirmed a deathly pale and wrln- kled face, thin and drawn, which when stirred to expression by the excitement looks anything but encouraging.-Wor- cester Gazette.

DIMINUTIvE WATCH.

The Dowager Duchess of Sutherland, who is credited with possessing the on ly crystal watch in existence having transparent works made for the most part of rock cystal, had the works re moved from a miniature watch and placed inside a magnificent diamond having a diameter not exceeding the depth of four lines of ordinary type. Small as this timepiece was, it is sur passed i'll diminutiyeness by what was justly described as the smallest watch in the world" which was exhibited at the watch exhibition in Berlin recent ". Made of fine gold, this microscopic watch had the dimensions of a pea; that is to say, it's diameter of 61a milIi- meters, which is practically quarter of an inch, would equal in depth three lines of type; $40 of these watches would weigh about one pound avoirdu- pois, if there existed any one possess ing heart sufficiently adamant to per init so brutal a weight as avoirdupois to be applied to so delicate a mechan- ism. Made of gold and valued at a400 this dainty watch. boasts a minute hand as long as an ordinary sized let ter "1'' and a half an hour hand less than an 'sn'' and a half in length, and second hand one-sixteenth of an inch long that would demand an incursion into the nonpareil font to supply suit able illustration.-Goo Words

Remrars in China

The great masses of the inhabitants If China are reputed to be living in the direst poverty. On the other hand, it may be that those who are rich ex- hibit an extra ordinary Eberality in almsgiving. At any rate, beggars in the celes al empire seem to thrive and multiply. There used to be an old wooden bridge in Peking across which the emperor of China was carried by his coolies every day, and which was thickly infested with mendicants. On one occasion the emperor stopped his chair and commanded his retainers to seize the beggars and strip them. Each was then presented with an en- tirely new suit of clothes. The dis carded rags were searched, and enough money was found to pay for theserec- ton of what is to-day one of the finest bridges in the capital city. It is built entirely of marble and is al ways viewed with interest by foreign visitors.-Golden Days.

 ''I will not hire young woman who is engaged or has sweetheart" he concluded, firmly.
 There was an embarrassing moment for the graduates. When he finished his speech then the best-looking young woman rose to the occasion.
 ''I am not exactly engaged, she con fessed, "but plead guilty to having a sweetheart, so you may count me out"
 The others explained elaborately that while they did not wish to marry, at least not for a long time, they did object to binding themselves with a pledge of that nature. They com plained that it was a restriction on their personal liberty and ridiculous, anyway. After much heated discus sion they respectfully declined the of fered places, and the trustee was obliged to make second selection.
 Again his conditions were stated, and fatly refused. By this time the news had spread among the graduates, and groups of students discussed the matter in the corridors, while the trustee continued to interview young women of marked ability, but not so prepossessing in appearance as his first choice. As fast as these inter views ended bulletins were got out showing the state of the market, and the general consternation gave way to unrestrained mirth.
 Eight of the class applied in body for the department places stating that they were plain and unattractive in looks, and that the complete absence of personal charm rendered any one of their number immune to the fasci- nation of his eligible young men, and made pledge of the nature asked un- necessary. The trustee, in no envi- able frame of mind, made his escape, but returned later in the day and ap- peared before the assembled class to withdraw his stipulation. He was ap- plauded to the echo, and the vacancies in his school were filled without fur ther difficulties.
 The most popular girl in the institu- tion, as well as the class, was one of the chosen, and it is the announcement of her engagement and approaching marriage that caused the ripple of ex- citement and amusement in that nor nal school last week, for she is to marry-that trustee!

F. The New London management want to play Sunday games, but Mayor Dart of that city says he will not allow it. The mayor says 1t is against statute law and It is his duty to en- force it.
 This comes from Norwich: Every base ball enthusiast in town hopes that Jerry Denny can make arrangements to transfer his team to Willimantic. It is a lively town and has lots of sur rounding villages to draw from, and there is little doubt that the change would give Denny more change in his pocket at the close of the season. The last trip of the Norwich team to Derby was another of the numerous financial failures of these trips. The attendance was but 145, and the visitors share Of the receipts amounted to SIP. It can hardly be expected that Manager Da- venport is anxious to again send his team to Derby, and possibly other managers in the league have met With the same degree of success when Vls- iting that city.-Bridgeport Farmer.
 Con Cassidy received his release from Manager Harrington last night. The latter was not entirely satisfied with the local pitchers work. He allowed the Derby players only seven hits but gave five bases on balls which proved costly. Cassidy will probably try to land on some one of the other state league teams. Manager Harrington has lines out for a first class pitcher. He has had several applicants but he wants one of tried ability. He is try ing to sign Jack Miriam, the ex-Derby twirler, who is now pitching nicely for an amateur team in Winsted. The new manager is in receipt of daily communication from players for posi- tions on the team. Among the appli- cants are Lindsay, who has been re leased by Bristol and O'Connor of Windsor Locks. who played earlier in the season with Meriden.
