She Wa. Not super.titiou..

During marriage ceremony at Northeast
Harbor, week ago, the long veil of the,
bride in some unaccountable way became
loosened, and fell. A superstitious bride
would have been .horror-stricken at such
an occurrence-perhaps would have tainted,
perhaps postponed the event. Not 90 this,
bride. She just stopped the proceedings,
long enough to readjust the refractory
adornment, glanced smilingly at the groom,
and then, with letthe-procession-
sition at the altar. The reverend gentleman
proceeded, and it was noticed that he gave
an extra tug at the nuptial knot bee.

nave us turn thief-catchers for the
mere honor of it?'
For the love of justice, or not at
ALL she rejoined.
The gentleman demurred and went
into details to prove his position.
and the details only served to af-
front Charlotte's sense of the fitness
of things
DO you mean to say that Won
would accept the reward. Mr.. La
trobe? she asked.
Certainly 1 should; anyone
would" nv
She knew the frank admission
stood for public opinion, and went
oumb. She might call the reward
blood-money and refuse to touch il.
but only those of her own circle
would know and believe the truth.
And the wretched man himself would
always believe that she had sold him
for a price.
That evening, after dinner, she
sought the captain to ask a cues
ton.
DO you know the law in Louisiana
Capt. Mayfeld? This man who robbed
the bank; what would his penalty
be?''
Il don't know, precisely. Twenty
years in the chain-gang, I should
say"
The Belle Julie" was pausing at
small hamlet on the west bank of
the river, and the captain pointed
to squad of prisoners in chains,
repairing a breach in the levee.
That's where he'll land when they
catch him." he added. Hell have
to be pretty tough to outlive his
sentence"
And Charlotte turned away with a
sob at the catching of her breath.

CHAPTER TX.

In any conflict between dutv and
inclination it is only the final step
which is irrevocable; and in Char
lotte's case this step was the mailing
of her letter. All through the long
afternoon she had tried vainly to
screw her courage to the sticking
point, and had failed. But when she
went to bed with the thought that
she would surely do it in the morn
ing, she had overlooked the fact that
an outraged conscience fights best
in the night watches.
That was why she had to get up at
midnight and dress. and go out to
have the dreadful thing over with be-
it might come then.
But once again fate interviewed.
While she was hurriedly dressing,
the whistle sounded for a landing:
and when she reached the office, it
was again closed. AS before, she
stepped out on the saloon deck to
wait. The great electric searchlight
just over her head made the landing
as light as day, and when she reached
the rail the landing stage was just
coming aboard for the departure.
Two men whose duty it was to cast
off ran out on the fitting platform
and dropped to the ground. One o.
them fell clumsily; but the other ran
up the bank and loosened the moor
ing line. The steamer began to
swing off. and the man ran back to
his companion. who seemed to be
unable to rise
Get a move on youse!" beloved
the mate.
Then Charlotte saw that the fallen
man was disabled in some way, and
that the other was trying to lift him.
Ihe mate swore out of full heart.
Come aboard. or I'll skin We alive,
We skulkin'-"
Charlotte put her fingers in her
ears to shut out the clamor of pro-
family; but the man on the bank
was deaf to it. Running to the
mooring-post, he took turn of the
line around it. and snubbed the
steamers bow back to the bank.
Then, casting off. he darted back to
the disabled one. lifted him bodily
to the guard. and climbed aboard
himself.
Charlotte held her breath while it
was doing, and was near crying out
in sheer enthusiasm when it was
done. Then she saw the face of the
chief actor in the red furnace glow;
it was the face of the man she was
constrained to denounce.
She turned away at the sight, but
the harsh voice of the mate called
her back. There was trouble afoot
for the rescuer, who was facing the
mate and trying to explain.

The first difference in opinion with the
weather man since the baseball season
opened occurred yesterday afternoon at st.
Louis. The Cardinals and the Pirates had
arranged for a battle royal. The official
prophet of the elements. however, was of
a different mind, and after two and a half
from the emerald diamond.
In the other cities of the circuit pleasant
weather was the order, and the games
scheduled at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and
Brooklyn we're pulled off without a hitch
This afternoon the Eastern clubs will
change their base of operations, but in the
West the same order will be preserved.
The ouakers opened their home grounds
yesterday afternoon and celebrated the
event by turning the tables upon New
York. They took the Giants into camp
and walloped them good in return for the
crushing defeat administered the day be-
fore. Brooklyn, in direct contradiction 10
all predictions, continues its winning
streak and again landed on Boston where
ii hurts the most.

doubtless it is: still the games won now
Will count just as much as the ones won
later, and Selee's men need all they can

that they have 10 lose TO some one, and it
might Just as well be Chicago. These are
the two weakest teams in the circuit, and
it looks now as though Cincinnati was

The last event and the mos: amusing

Exhibition Features.
The exhibition features mixed in with
the contests included clever slack wire
act by Eugene La Brouce, who did all
sorts of things in midair from playing
a mandolin to climbing a ladder.
Prof. Horan, physical instructor of the
guardsmen, with the assistance Of Harry

INDOOR GAMES OF THE
NATIONAL GUARD
Fourth Annual Meet Was a
Complete Success.
Events for Militiamen Were Holly Con-
tested-Y. M. C. A. Relay Races
Feature.

The Athletic Association of the District
National Guard held its fourth annual in
door track and field games and exhibition
last night in the Guards armory.
and the exhibition was witnessed by
| nearly $500 spectators, mostly of the
fair sex, and the program, notwithstand-
ing it's length, was followed to the end by
the entire assemblage.
1t was by long odds the best meet held
by the Guard, and the program was among
the most interesting and entertaining ever
presented here. In addition to the ten
contests, open to the Guard, and which de-
cided the championship of the local militia
there were two special events in the ma
ture of relay races, for which the Y. NJ.
C. A. furnished the contestants. Distrib
uted among the various contests were
boxing. wrestling acrobatic and fencing
exhibitions. all of which made up a card
so diversified that it pleased all tastes
and 1t was voted an all around success.
A Well Conducted Meet.
To Captain Edwards is due much of the
credit for the success of the meet, and TO
min and to his official assistants, of
which Maj. E. H. Neumeyer was the head,
being referee, are due the thanks OF the
crowd for the promptness with which the
events were run off. There were no un-
necessary waits between numbers.
The events for the most part were hot
ly contested, and at times exciting. Each
entry, either individual or team, had a
large following, and enthusiastic applause
and strenuous roofing made it a gal;.

Several Guards records were broken, and
this pleased contestants as well as the
trainers and the promoters of the affair.
Cook Won the Dash.
There were SO many entries for the 80
yard dash that the preliminaries were run
off on Thursday night and this saved time
last night, when, of the six men left to
try for honors. Cook and Draeger finished
in order in the first semi-finai heat and
Adams and Mastin took the second. These

The Field Events.
Then came the struggle in field events.
The first was the pole vault, and out of
five entrants Coon, of Company C, Sixth
Battalion, and Zell, of the Corcorans, re-
mained until the finish. Inch by inch the
bar went up until it reached s feet 1-2

graceful manner, breaking the Guards
record of feet 2 inches; Zell stopped at

Georgetown's Slogan.

Tuesdays election is fraught with
momentous import to Georgetown,
as that day will decide whether our
sister county is to be under negro
political domination or come in line
with the rest Of the State as free and
independent citizens of a Demo
cratic county. Georgetown is tired
of a mulatto government. The dis
dnction of having q negro county
superintendent of education and a
tar-baby representative in the Legis'
lature il not an enviable one.
Next Tuesday is a crucial time in
old Georgetown's history. The slo-
gan of the white supremacy club is,
"Meet me at the polls. Every self
respecting white man should be
there and cast his vote. "The men
behind the ballot" have said that
there shall be no more fusion. 1t is
now too late to retreat and we'll may
Georgetown say to her sons, HE who
dallies is q bastard and he who
doubts is damned. We shall await
with keen interest the outcome of
the struggle. Meantime we must
hope and believe that the cause of
white Democracy will triumph.
