CHAPTER x.

One of Col. Frost's consuming ambi-
tons was to be the head of his depart
ment, with the rank of brigadier gem
eral, but he had strong rivals and knew
it. Wealth he had in abundance. 1t
was rank and power that he craved.
-Four men--ali with better war records
and more eXperience-stood between
him and that coveted star, and two of
the four were popular and beloved men.
Frost was cold, selfish, intensely self
. willed, indomitably persevering, and
though "close-fisted," to the scale of
Scotch landlord as rule, he would
loose his purse strings and pay well
for services he considered essential.
When Frost had consuming desire he
let no money consideration stand in the
way and for Nita Terriss he stood
ready to spend small fortune. Every
body knew Mrs. Frank Garrison could
never dress and adorn herself as she
did on poor Frank Garrison's pay, and
when she appeared with dazzling
necklace and a superb new gown at
the garrison ball not long after Frost
and his shrinking bride left for their
honeymoon, people looked at her and
then at each other Nita Terriss was
sold to Jack" Frost, was the verdict,
and her shrewd elder sister was the
dealer, Mrs. Frank knew what people
were thinking and saying just as we'll
as though they had said it to her, yet
smiled sweetness and bliss on every
side. Frankly she looked up into the
faces of her sisters in arms: II know
you like my necklace. Isn't it lovely?
Col. Frost's wedding present, you
know. He said | shouldn't give Nita
away without some recompense, and
this is it,
But that could have been only part
of it, said the garrison. An honorar-
ium in solid cash, it was believed, was
far the greater portion of the consider
alton which the elder sister accepted
for having successfully borne Mia
away from the dangers and fascina-
tons of the Point-having guarded
her, dropping and languid. against the
advance of good looking soldier lads
ut headquarters, and finally having, by
'lint of hours of argument, persuasion
and skill, delivered her into the arms
of the elderly but well preserved groom.
MI he demanded to know was that
she was fancy free--that there was no
previous attachment, and on this point
Mrs. Frank had solemnly averred there
was none. The child had had foolish
fancy for cadet beau, but it amount
cd TO absolutely nothing. There had
been no vows, no pledge, no promise
of any kind, and she was actually free
as air. So Frost was satisfied.
They made an odd looking pair
Frost was bony built but sturdy, and
Mia seemed like "a fairy, indeed as I'M

BIG PURCHASE.
Print Cloths Advance and Local
Manufacturers Benefit.

That the print cloth market has as
employers and employe, is best evidenced
by the fact that these cotton goods have
advanced nearly 10 per cent on usual
quotations early in the week.
And If comparison is made with the
prices prevailing when a general reduc-
ton of Is per cent. in the wages of en-
ployes was urged by certain Fall
River manufacturers several weeks ago,
what is the result Then print cloths
wavered between "a. and 2iz cents, while
today II has crossed the % cents mark
and even a large sale at cents was ef-
fected in the local market, yesterday.
This splendid showing and hopeful out
look right here in Rhode Island are due
to that energetic, enterprising and far
seeing manufacturer. NJ c. ID. Borden
of the Fall River Iron Works mill, the
American Print Works company included,
who transferred his field of operations
TO this city yesterday.
The Messrs. b. b. & r.. knight refused
an offer OF "a cents from Mr.. Borden
who later increased his figure TO cents
nat ana an Ofuer 10 denver -oVVVV pieces
was then agreed 10 by the local manu-
facturers. This means deal for more
than $4,000
A piece" In market language is best
known 70 the employees as cut OF cloth
and each cut averages about Is yards,
or 81 lS5 for the piece So that quarter
million (250.000) pieces or cuts would
mean, estimated, a deal OF $685.
Immediately following the sale In this
city the price I'm Fall River also raised
20 3 cents. An active demand at once
followed from the converters other than
the American Print Works. On a basis
OF cents for print cloths IL Is estimated
257. 900 pieces of odds and regular goods
were disposed OF I'm that city up 10 the
closing hour yesterday afternoon. and
within a few days tho general market
has been reduced almost half million
pieces.
Such a reaction Is reassuring. demon
strating more convincngly than ever the
itera ton of Mr. Borden that there was
no necessity for a reduction In wages as
proposed by a few Fall River manufactu-
rers and giving mutually TO employer and
employe alike well founded hopes for a
prosperous fall and winter.

Washington, Sept. f2.--commander Sea-
ton Schroeder. L. s. N. governor OF the
island OF Guam, is in Washington. where
he will attend the schley court of in

this is what he said today:
I'VE have not yet recovered from the
effects OF the hurricane OF November II

great deal OF harm. particularly 10 the
cocoanut trees. 1t viii be quite three
years before they are fruitful as they
once were.
II left Guam with feelings OF the keen
est regret and shall be delighted TO re-
turn there. My wife and family accom-
| panied me as far as Hong Kong where
they are awaiting my return. The people
OF Guam are a fine lot. The men are
strong. vigorous and very healthy: the
women beautiful for South Sea islanders.
Every one is thoroughly honest. Theft
| among the natives is entirely unknown.
They are very amenable to leading. md
direction. They are anxious to learn Eng
lish. and am looking for some teachers
OF English 10 go TO the island schools.
II feel that Guam will one day be a
very valua BILE possession for this country.
both as a cable station and coaling
place. In spite OF statements TO the con-
trary, there will be no difficulty in lay
ing the cable. / think that the first cable
will be from Guam TO Manila. so that
communication can be esta blished by way
OF Europe. The cable 10 Hawaii will come
later
The soil OF the island is very fertile.
but because of the damp everything runs
10 foliage. We planted tomatoes. for in

inches circumference. Corn does very
well. however, and many other fruits and
vegetables

island is good roads. and they are being
provided as rapidly as possible We have
a very good road from Pitt. the seaport.

trips on bullback TO the mountains in the

government very efficacious. The island
is divided into four districts, each gov
erned by a captain and two lieutenants
and justice OF the peace.

Sports and SpOrtsmen

Rogers in the National league team.
and associated with Shibe, president OF
the American league team, in the man
ufacture of sporting goods. The other
magnateS declare that Reach is loyal
to the National league. and was not
consulted by Shibe before the latter ac-
copied the presidency of the Philadel-
phia American league team. Mr.. Shibe
is a rich man. He and Rogers are
said to be on the "outs." To make the
situation more peculiar at Philadelphia
it is said that Lajoie has jumped the
National league team, and will play
with the team of which Shibe is presi
dent. The Washington team will be
controlled by Fred Postal, a well-to-do
business man of Detroit, and Jimmy
Manning, who prospered in Kansas
City for several years at the head of a
ball club. A stock company composed
of Baltimore business men own the
Baltimore club of the American league.
A brother-in-law of Barney Dreyfus
owns a small block of stock. but says
that in no event will he subscribe for
more stock. 1t is said that McGraw
and Robinson did not invest any
money in the club, but were presneted
with big slice of the stock.
Burns and Stallings, who own the
Detroit club of the American league,
are said to have cleared about $4,000
last season. Burns has a good paying
business, and is well-fixed financially.
Stallings also has some money. Mat
thew and Henry Ki11elea are the prin-
cipal stockholders in the Milwaukee
team. National league men say they
lost money last yeor and will do so
again this season with a high-priced
team under Hugh Duffy. The Messrs
Kil1elea are said to be interested in
Ccmiskey's Chicago team. Mr.. Chas.
Somers owns the Cleveland franchise.
and his club is said to have lost about
$4,000 last year. From this it can
be seen that the National league has
the better of the argument so far as
money is concerned. Ball players are
