II hope So" replied one Of the doc
tors gravely. 1T is q severe case"
Yes" young Green said. A fur
row Of thought appeared on his fore
head. He stood silent q moment, his
blue eyes meeting tho black ones Of
the doctor, squarely, as though he
would see down into his very soul
Then he passed from the room, noise
lessly closing the door behind him.
For q moment he stood behind Dolores
porting over the books In the hre-
light. She neither heard nor saw him;
she was tracing out one OF the con-
stellatiOns on the map before her, her
lips were parted as though she was
smiling. The face of the watcher un-
derwent many changes In the short
minute he stood there in the hickering
light and darkness behind her chair;
then he turned silently away and pass
ed out Of the room without disturb
ing her. He took down his hat and
coat from one Of the nails In the room
and went out into the storm as though
he we're dazed by some sudden start
ling thought
BY and by, when the nurse came out
OF the room, Dolores closed her book
slowly, as though with regret, and
gathered up her hair, twisting 1t about
her graceful head carelessly. The
color and fire died out of her face and
eyes as she arose to prepare supper.
But Mrs. Allen interrupted her.
"Slt still, Miss Johnson" she said,
cheerily, land read your book, but not
by this light; will fetch a candle
She took down a candle from the
shelf and lighted it with strip Of
pine wood from the fire. She pulled
ont the clean pine table noiselessly,
and set It; she cut some thin slices OF
bread and toasted them before the fire.
When they were done to an exquisite
turn, she buttered them deity and
set them on a plate on the hearth
to keep warm. When all was ready
the nurse drew up the table and
placed it beside the FIRE, placing a
a chair for her.
"Come, child she said, gently.
The professional tone had left her
voice utterly; the girl felt a sudden
rash of tears that burned her eyelids'
They were the first she had shed in
her life as she remembered.

the girl apparently. 1.-THE fire bright.

 AFTERNOON.
They Come Here to Play On a Tie Frank Wilson and Oscar Streit May Be Opposing
 Pitchers.

This morning the Black Sox and Alb PowelIs Crackers will reach Montgom- cry. The team will play off that tie game of June 23d this afternoon.
 This is not the end of the trip of the Black Sox. They will have three games more on the road, Montgomery playing in Birmingham and Atlanta in Nash vile tomorrow.
 On that account the game this after noon will be called at 3;l5 o'clock. sharp. for If the Atlanta team fails to catch the northbound Louisville and Nashville train at 6:30 o'clock they will forfeit their Nashville date tomorrow.
 The batteries for this afternoon are not known but as Frank Wilson pitched the tie game in June 1t is possible that he will be in the box for the Crackers to- day. Local fans are hoping that Oscar Streit will be in for the Black Sox. Ii these batteries go the game will be a battle royal, and from the form that Streit has shown in his last few games the big end of the score will hardly gc on the Atlanta side.
 After the three Birmingham games. the Black Sox will return home for fifteen games. opening with Nashville next Fri day and playing Nashville. Little Rock New Orleans, Memphis and Shreveport in the order named. Nashville and New Orleans having Sunday games here.

TEAM AVERAGES.
Standing of Montgomery Players for
 the Week.

Standing of Montgomery Players for
 the Week.
 The batting average of the Montgomery team is about the same this morning that 1t was last Sunday.
 The biggest raise in the individual bat ting averages is made by Link Stickney who has ten hits in the last eight games putting his average up ten points or even 300. There is a slump of forty points lin Whistler's average, only three hits having been made by him in the last eight games while Molesworth has twelve hits in the last eight games, five hits more than Whistler and only eleven points lower in his average. This puts Whistler first. Molesworth second. Stickney third and Clark fourth, though Burnett Is just three points behind the hardworking catcher. Kid Busch has six hits in the last eight games while Childs has nine hits in the eight games. Polchow leads the pitchers with seventeen hits in his twenty-one games.
 A gain of one point is made in the team fielding average, Clarks average being up fourteen points. eleven erros in s54 points behind whistler Burnett is really second in the averages and ten points behind Whistler, one error in forty-four chances. average SIT. Stultz has forty-eight chances without an error while Oscar Streit has one error in forty eight chances and an average of .980. 1 The feature of the last few games has | been the remarkable improvement in /, baserunning, Burnett having seven runs l in the eight games and Spratt five runs. | Oscar Streit leads the pitchers with only l 133 hits in his twenty-two games, not | quite six a game, seventy-seven bases on balls, not four for a game, 101 strikeouts, nearly five a game. winning thirteen and | losing nine. Stultz still has remarkable control; fifteen bases on balls in fifteen games with thirty-six strike-outs and | pitching another exciting tie game. One of the most remarkable games of the season was Oscar Srreit's game in Atlanta Friday when neither he nor Kill len gave a. base on balls in the ten in- nings, Streit striking out nine men with | only four hits being made off him. The 1 local fans hope that it will either be Kill len or Frank Wilson against Streit in the game here this afternoon.

Titus of the Atalanta Boat Club of New York, on Lake Quinisgamond at the annual regatta of the National Association of Amateur oarsmen- Greer was eight lengths ahead of F. Nestley of the Rirst Bohemian Boat Club of New York at the finish. while Titus gave up the race an eighth of a mile from the line and padded in just ahead of W. B.

 Despite his easy victory, Greer pulled re- markedly fast race, and the time of minutes 3S 3-5 second in the seconds Is the record for the event in the annals of tn eassociation. Oth- CT championships have pulled in faster time. but they have been very straightway courses.

Just as an engineer can cause the ex- plosion of a boiler by neglecting to have 1t cleared and refixed when he knows full well that 1t is not working the way it should, 5uSts So can human being cause his own death by neglecting an ache, a pain or a discomfort of his body. If you know that your heart, your liver, your stomach, your bladder. your kidneys or your nervous system is not what 1t ought to be; or if you feel drowsy and dull, have no appetite, with shooting pains here and there and you don't know just what Is wrong with you, don't you think that by far the most sensible thing you can do Is to go to a specialist of re- nown and have him examine you and tell you?
 Take the case of Dr. Newton Hathaway. our eminent physcian-scientist. He has been curing sickness for two generations and 1t is safe to say that in the interven- ing years tens of thousands have owed their permanent good health to his knowl- edge of the science of curing. He has mastered the human body. He can trace an ache or a pain to it's lair and tell you not only where the pain comes from and what caused 1t. but, better still, at once give you the exact treatment that will cure you. The method this great doctor uses in lis practice Is entirely original with him and can be obtained only by go- ing or writing to him. It represents the crowning point of a long and useful ca- reer, a method evolved by the doctor out of the ripeness of two generations of ex- perience in the profession of medicine. Ii is this. vast curative knowledge that is at the disposal of all who are sick and far-seeing enough to realize the advant- age of goingsto Dr. Hathaway in pref erence to any other physician. He is a specialist in the chronic diseases of men and women, famous not only among American scientists, but throughout the

 He Has Cured Thousr=ds.
 Of even greater important, however. are the tens of thousands of cured, happy men and women who are literally walk ing advertisements for this truly great man. They came. to him sick, weak and dejected, thin in body and clouded in mind, hopeless that they would ever be we'll again; but he dismissed them as cured, buoyant, hopeful and happy. with complexion that bespeaks health. a cheerfulness that tells of vigor and strong manhood. the lustre in the eye that tells of ambition realized. This is pr. Hathaway's greatest claim to fame the tens of thousands who owe to him their present good health.
 No matter what you are suffering from, see Dr. Hathaway. Others may not up- derstand your case, but he will. You can rely on him to tell you frankly just what is the matter with you. and he will prepare something in his laboratory that will cure you. Within the boundaries of his speciality there is no disease that he cannot cure, and cure it in less time than others, without discomfort to you and
 without keeping you from work. Come in Person or Write. The doctor wants all who find 1t possi- ble to call at his offices and make his ac- quaintance in person and he will be glad
 to go into the details of his method and tell you what ails you. Persops living out of town who find it inconvenient to | call in person should write the doctor as | below, stating in their own words how
 they suffer and he will give them all ad-

Memphis. Tenn. Aug. 15.-Baseball fol- lowers were surprised tonight when Perry Werden, veteran player on the Memphis team announced that he had formally rendered his resignation as cap tain. Werden has held this position since the season opened, and games have been credited to the home team through gen eralship displayed at the right moment on Werden's part, It is believed that sarcastic remarks made by grand stand patrons led Werden to resign.

 Whistler sent Polchow to the bench and put Stultz in to do the twirling. As the game was hopelessly lost, StnltS did not seem to exert himself greatly and he yielded hits enough coupled with errors of the infield for seven more Atlanta men l to cross the plate before the game was over. At times Stultz worked in g way | to indicate that If he had been put in at | the beginning the Black Sox might have won the game. Montgomery was unable 1 to get man across the plate until the sixth.

Montgomery got her other run in the seventh when Clark hit safely and scored on 6tickney's drive. In At-
