CHAPTER Xxx.

THE APPROACHING OROcAA'
ss1WNHE American has escaped
|. was the cry that spread
8 through Edelweiss the next
morning.
It brought undisguised relief to the
faces of thousands. There was not one
who upbraided Baron DanGloss for bis
astounding negligence. Never before
had criminal escaped from the to@7-
er. The only excuse, uttered in woe
begone tone, was that the prison had
not been constructed or manned for
such clever scoundrels as Yankees
good name for audacity.
The full story Of the daring break
for liberty flashed from lip to lip dur,
ing the day, and it was known all over
the water swept city before noon
Baron Dangloss himself had gone to
the prisoners cell early in the morning
mystifed by the continued absence OF
the guard. The door was locked, but
from within came groans and cries.
Alarmed at once, the captain procured
duplicate keys and entered the cell
There he found the helpless, blood GOV.
cred Ogbot, bound hand and foot and
almost dead from loss Of blood. The
clothes of the American were on the
floor, while his own we're missing, gone
with the prisoner.
Ogbot as soon as he was able related
his experience Of the night before. II
was while making his rounds at mid.
night that he heard means from the
cell. Animated by feeling of pity, be
opened the slab door and asked II he
we're i'll. The wretched American was
living on the bed, apparently suffering
He said something which the guard
could not understand, but which he
took to be a plea for assistance. Not
suspecting a trick, the kindly guard
unlocked the second door and stepped
to the bedside only to have the sick
man rise suddenly and deal him a
treacherous blow over the head with
the heavy stool he had secreted behind
him. Ogbot knew nothing Of what fol
lowed, so effective was the blow. When
he regained consciousness, he was ~
ing OF the bed just as the captain hao
found him. The poor fellow, over
vhelmed by the enormity Of his mis-
take, begged Dangloss to shoot him al
once. Bu: Dangloss had him conveyed
to the hospital ward and tenderly cared
for.
Three guards in one Of the offices
saw a man whom they supposed to be
Ogbot pass from the prison shortly at
er u, and the mortified chief admitted
that some one had gone through his
private apartment. AS the prisoner
had taken Ogbot's keys, he expert
enced little difficulty in getting outside
the gates. But, vowed Dangloss storm
ily, he should be recaptured if it re
ouired the efforts Of all the Solicemer
In Edelweiss. The chagrin OF grin,
old captain, who had never lost prls
oner, was pitiful to behold.
The forenoon was half over before
Harry Anguish heard Of his friends

would be putting it much too mildly
There is, no language that can ace

Mobile Has Hopes.

For several weeks there has been much talk of disbandonment of the City League of Baseball clubs and the securing to Mobile of one of the Southern League franchises.
 The fact obtains that the attendance at the games has materially fallen of. It became necessary to have an adjustment and get the league on a satisfactory standing. Last night a meeting was held and after discussing the situation it was decided to retrench President E. H. Dolbear. realizing this need. suggested the doing away with his office and con- solidating with that of the secretary and treasurer. He resigned as president and nominated Will Giblin to be general manager. The nomination was accepted. c. J. Flournoy of The Item was elected scorer and the present umpire was re- tained. The three clubs, the Mobiles, Stonewalls and St. Vincents, decided to get in the going, line up their members and give the people good ball.
 The frequent talk of Southern League ball has as yet reached no point where it can safely be said that Mobile will be in the eight cornered circuit, though the ones favorable are working quietly. Now and then a rumor comes to the surface, but that's all.

The situation between Russia
and Japan has arrived at the criti-
cal stage and only the best of
diplomacy and sober Judgment on
the part of both nations will pre-
vent hostilities breaking out.
Russia violated her treaty with
barefaced impudence when she
failed to remove her troops from
ManchurIa, but this was no more
thar was to be expected from that
grasping and avaricious empire.
The delay which she secured by
the violated treaty was for the
preparation for war. This she has
utilized by mobilizing a large
army and naval force in striking
distance. If Russia holds Man
churia Japan will attempt to hold
Corea. This is the bone of con-
