CHAPTER XXI.
HOW HE WAS FoILED.

Impossible! Incredible!
Like a wave suddenly lifted the
whole assemblage rose in surprise if
not in protest. But there was no out
burst. The very depth of the feelings
evoked made all ebullition impossible.
and as one sees the billow pause ere it
breaks and gradually subsde, SO this
crowd yielded to the awe within them
and one by one sank back into their
seats till quiet was again restored and
only a circle of listening faces con
fronted the man who had just stirred
a whole roomful to it's depths. Seeing
this and realizing his opportunity, Fred
erick at once entered into the explana-
tons for which each heart there pant

son. With what words shall | over
throw his confidence in the truth and
rectitude of his long buried wife and
make him know in his old age that he
has wasted years of patience upon one
who was not of his blood or lineage!
The wonder. the incredulity, you mani
fest are my best excuse for my long
delay in revealing the secret intrusted
to me by this dying woman"
An awed silence greeted these words.
Never was the interest of crowd
more intense or its passions held in
greater restraint. Yet Agnes tears
flowed freely. and Amabefs smiles
well, their expression had changed.
and to Sweetwater, who alone had eyes
for her now. they were surcharged
with tragic meaning strange to see
in one of her callous nature.
Frederick's voice broke as he pro
ceeded in his self imposed task:

A Prompt

When the body of Hannah Tomlinson
was discovered no one seemed ready to
take charge of the body, and the duty
was assumed by a few ladies, who also
arranged for her funeral and laid the
unfortunate young girl away In a re-
spectacle manner, for which they de-
serve much credit. After the funeral a
request was made for additional money
to pay the expenses, which the town
ship had not agreed to furnish, and 1t
was freely subscribed, a considerable
amount being returned. This shows
that the people of this city are not ad-
verse to giving the unfortunate a re-
spectacle burial. and those who took
this arrangement in charge are worthy
OF much credit.

GOLF

RYE, N. Y, May 24.-Walter J..
Travis, of Garden City, who holds the
title of amateur champion of the United

Metropolitan golf championship contest
at the Apawamis Club links. The golfer
who beat the champion is Charles II.
Seeley, of the Weeburn Golf Club, near

a very popular one. 5eelay is only 81
years old, but plays a wonderfully
Strong game, At n time Sesley had
Travis three down, but the champion
had the game all square when they
reached the sixteenth hole. Playing for
the seventeenth Seeley got a bad lie on
his second shot and lost the hole leaving

was then all square again and they
played an extra hole. Both showed I'M
m~istakable signs of nervousness and
played very ragged golf for the deciding
hole, the distance of which was 377
yards. Seeley won it in six to seven
and was warmly congratulated by the
entire gallery which followed the match.
The other match in the semi-finals
round was that between Findlay S.
Douglass and A. Sidney Carpenter, the
Philadelphia golfer, who is entered from
the Lakewood Golf Club. Douglass al
ways held the upper hand and was four
up on the first five holes. Carpenter
won the sixth but lost the seventh and
the next two holes being hslved, Dou-
glass was four up at the turn. The
young Scotch player was rather careless

play the Jack Arthurs of this city Sat
urday on the formers ground. 1t can
be answered that a good game will be
given to the patrons, as both teams are
stronger this year than ever. Tilton-
vile is putting up a very stiff game this
year, while the Arthurs are putting up
equally as good a game, and a close
score can be expected, unless something
unforeseen occurs. The former team is
greatly strengthened by Brock Brown,
CT Martins Ferry, and a good substitute
pitcher from GAINESVILLE, by the name
of Cook.
