Now you know me as we'll as I know my se1f-a fool, but consistent in his folly and, as I will ask you to believe, nei- ther whimperer nor a coward"
 From the whole tone of the young mans statement it was plain that he harbored very bitter and contemptuous thoughts about himself His auditors were led to imagine that his love affair was nearer his heart than he admitted and that he had q design on his own life. The farce of the cream tarts be- gan to have very much the air of a tragedy in disguise
 "Why, is this not odd,' broke out Geraldine, giving look to Prince Flor 1zel, that we three fellows should have met by the merest accident in so large a wilderness as London and should be so nearly in the same condi- fion?'
 "How?' cried the young man. Are you, too, ruined? Is this supper fol ly like my cream tarts? Has the devil brought three of his own together for a last carouse?''
 ''The devil, depend upon it, can some times do q very gentlemanly thing" re, turned Prince Florizel. "and am SC

 So saying, the prince drew out his purse and took from it small bundle of banknotes.
 "You see, was a week or so behind you, but mean to catch you up and come neck and neck into the winning post" he continued. "This," laying one of the notes upon the table, twill suffice for the bill. As for the rest'- He tossed them into the fire, and they went mp the chimney in single blaze The young man tried to catch his arm, but, as the table was between them, his interference came too late.

 "It was only 940 he needed" said the young man gloomily. "But without them there is no admission. The rule is strict-f40 for each. Accursed life, where man cannot even die without moneyv'
 The prince and the colonel exchang- ed glances.
 Explain yourself" said the latter. T have still pocketbook tolerably well lined, and I need not say how readily should share my wealth with Godall, but I must know to what end. You must certainly tell us what you mean"
 The young man seemed to awaken; he looked uneasily from one to the oth- CT, and his face flushed deeply. You are not fooling me?" he asked. "You are indeed ruined men like mel"

Local Baseball Managers Trying
to Arrange Games With

DURING FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK
Negotiations Also On for Exhibition
Contest With Fargo, S. D.,
Teams.

There is good reason to- believe that
Rock Island will be treated to a series
of exhibition games with the Chicago
White stockings during the early part
of next week. The Chicagoans will be
in Davenport next Sunday and the
local baseball managers are endeavor-
ing to arrange for the team to APP
pear here in two or three games be-
ginning next Monday.
Negotiations are also in progress
for a game with the Fargo, n. d.,
team, which win be touring in this
vicinity, during the latter part of
next week, but nothing definite can
be stated concerning the match now.
When Donnelly's bunch reports
Thursday the members will be put in
training and there will be nothing do
ing but practice till the arrival of
the White Stockings that is expected.
Sunday, the 10Th, there will be an eX-
hibitiOn game with Davenport in this
city. Monday following the team will
go to Iowa City for a six days stay,
and Sunday, the Goth, an exhibition
game will be played in Davenport
with the team of that city. This will
end the ante-season schedule.

Sexton Mentioned

Yesterdays Chicago Record-Herald
publishes a likeness of President NJ
III. Sexton, together with those of b.
b. johnson, president of the Ameri-
can league; Harry c. Pulliam. presi-
dent of the National league; Patrick
7. Powers, president of the Eastern
league. and T. j. Hickey. president of
the American association. The five
are spoken of as those in whose
hands the national game practically
rests. a short sketch is given of
each and this is said about President
Sexton:
IN. III. Sexton is now serving his
third term as president of the Three
Eye league and his second as leader
of the Western. He made such re-
markable success with the Three-Eye
league that he at once jumped into
prominence among the minor
leaguers, and he has been the real
leader in the west in organizing the
National Association of Minor
leagues.
Despite many handicaps Sexton
last year not only carried his Three
Eye league through another success
full season. but also took up the reins
of the Western league where the late
James Whitford had dropped them
and accomplished much for that or
| ganizatiOn. This year he was unani-
mously elected to succeed himself as
| leader of both leagues, and he has
bright prospects for another year of
successful administration. Sexton is
member of the national board of
the National Association of Minor
| leagues and is real power i'm that
! organization"

trated Is adapted to both purposes and
to all the seasons suitings, to etamine,
to cloth and to silk; but in the original
is made of tan colored canvas with
trimming of fancy braid and makes
part of q costume
The blouse consists of fronts and
back and is exceedingly simple and cas-.
lily made. 1t does not require any
snug tit of Il jacket and is. therefore,
far less eXacting and better suited to
the needs of the home dressmaker. The
back is plain and without fulness, but
the fronts are gathered and blouse
slightly at the waist. The cape is cir
cular and fits smoothly over the shoul-
ders. but can be omitted and the
blouse left plain when preferred. Both
neck and front edges are finished with
shaped band. The sleeves are the
new bishop sort and are gathered into
pointed cuffs. The lower edge can be
finished with the close fitting peplum
or with the belt only as individual
taste may decided.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is six yards twenty
one inches wide, three yards forty-four
