CHAPTER xXVlji.
Travis and Florence.

Florence, this is no time for con-
venticnalities. I must see you or I
must go mad. Do not refuse my
prayer"
These were the words written on
Travis Meredith's card, and which had
just been handed to Miss St. John by
her footman, enclosed in a scaled en-
velope.
And Travis was below, in the same
house, breathing the same air. The
thought was delirious in its ecstasy of
pain. She had forbidden his seeking
her, and he had obeyed her until now,
when his strength had deserted him
and forced him into penning those
hasty lines.
Il will see Mr.. Meredith here" she
said, then she waited, pale and trem-
bling, for his coming.
It seemed to her the footman had
hardly left her presence before she
heard that quick, firm tread along the
hall she knew SO well. The door of
her boudoir burst open and she was
clasped close to her lovers heart.
Gently she released herself from his
embrace and motioned him to the
chair by her side
my darling, how pale you have
grown! Oh, Florence, curse the day
that was born when realize the suf-
fering I have brought into your life!
Your face haunts me, darling. It drives
sleep from my pillow, it fills my wax
ing moments with remorse; and yet
kept from you the truth, only because
I thought it would give you needless
misery. AS God is my Judge, l be-
lieved that woman dead"
do not speak of her." the girl an
swered, shudderingly. II cannot quite
bear that yet. / sit here day after day,
realizing that am separated from you
eternally, yet not daring to ask my
self wherefore. Neither must you
blame yourself, Travis. God willed it
so."
"Ah, it is easy for you women to
talk platitudes! he cried, with all a
mans injustice. "You see the iron
heated in the fire until it becomes first
red and then Whitewater it seethe
it's way into the burning, quivering
flesh, and calmly say that God has so
ordered 1.-THE God whom men call
merciful! tell you, Florence, for me
to believe thus, to reason thus, would
be for me to deny there is God. AS
it is, my black, hopeless despair so
hens me in that l cannot even see
heavens light beyond"
Don't, Travis! 1t only makes it
harder for me to hear you talk in this
way; but you have had 80 much add
ed trouble, poor fellow, that I do not
wonder at your suffering. What mad
ness possessed Avice. Travis? Her
action seemed so strange, so unlike
herself"
"She is a woman" he answered, Bit
terly. "That explains all, everything,
in a word" ~
And am not, too, a woman" she
questioned. ~
You? No; you are saint, a being
worthy Of shrine. Oh, Florence,
could you have been my wife, could
you have shared my life, might have
nodded it to some great aim--might
have led it upward from it's grovel1ng
tendencies to something higher, purer.

thing. God knows thought Ayice's
| heart as pure as the untrod dens snow.

How dare you!" Kissed Barbara,
from between her set teeth.
But there was no flinching in the
maids eyes.
{" Madame" Marie answered, II have
been your accomplice in all this, it is
true, but not your accomplice IN MUIR
der"
Murder? Who :dares say murder
was intended?"
II do, madame! The life of this girl
is hateful to you, perhaps because it
reminds you of another life you sac
ri1iced in it's young infancy
What! You know of that?'
Eyes, madame-all. But have no
fear-Marie will not betray you. Only
this girl must live, or the cause of her
death shall be made public. Madame
hates her because Mr.. Lennox loves
her."

stretched hand to the door.
But the maid stirred not, and again
her eyes unfiinchingly met those of
her mistress.

: Barbara continued.
"Then Feline goes, too" Marie re-
piled. He wishes me to marry him.
Perhaps Mr.. Lennox will receive us
both"
With a triumphant, malignant smile.
she watched the effect OF her words, as
a cat playing with a mouse would
gloat over it's helplessness.

angry for the moment only. Stay with
me, both of you. have promised you
reward for your service--nay, more,
have left it to you to name it. What
is it to be. Marie?"
my lady is too good. l have not
yet quite decided; but-you hear me?
Miss Meredith must live
Eyes, she shall live-live to suffer,
but never to be Milton Lennox's wife,
because madame loves him."

hates him." answered Barbara, gcad.
ed on by her own desperate thought
into some avowal-"because all other
men, all other women. are as but tools
In my hand to achieve my great re-
venge-all, all! Do you hear? Even
the poor fool who lies there, sleeping"
pointing to the adjoining chamber
land murmurs my name in his Sleep"
A groan sounded through the room,
startling them both.
She turned, and in the open door
way, with livid face, stood the man Of
whom she spoke-the man who had
laid at her feet pride, honor and ambi-
ton, to receive this as reward.
All Richard Hayes future punish
ment served as nothing compared to
the exquisite torture of that moment,
when the actress was forgotten in the
woman, and his eyes pierced the beau
tiful mask to the soul beneath.
II did not mean it, Richard-l did
not mean it," she cried, going swiftly
forward and clinging to his arm. Take
me home, dear. This girls madness
has gone to my brain. My good, my
faithful friend, believe mel am not
10 ungrateful as Scent"
True, he could not desert her. In
ill his sufferings his old loyalty to her
asserted itself. So might the lion,
wounded to death by his mate, drag
himself by her side to die.
"Your wish shall be obeyed.'' he an
swered, gently. 1--WE will leave this
place for Paris in the morning.

MANAGER BOYER HAS GONE TO

''and I am sure that 1 will be able to

as there is in the Southern League.

which, l understand, has gone to
pieces. Little is known of these men in
the East, consequently the big teams
have not had a chance to get a line
on Them
Mr.. Boyer will engage a manager to
look after the management of the
team, but he himself will conduct the
financial affairs, and superintend the
club. Most of his time will be devoted
to the management of the affairs of
the league, of which he will still retain
the presidency. He will employ the
services of secretary, and establish
a regular Office in Savannah.

During their meeting here there was
good deal of kidding" among the
old baseball captains and managers
who have not seen each other in years.
Ed Ashenback and Con Strothers who
have opposed each other on many dia-
monds made a wager of a suit of
clothes on the result of the first game
played between Charleston and Au-
gusta.
"Ah, I'll get even with you for that
last series you beat me in Chatta-
nooga," said Ashenback. when I
line up my longshoremen over in Char
lesion you'll think your time has come.
I'll play on that old skull of yours.
Say, but I'm glad 1 have a chance at
you again. Doc"
Dock" Strothers is one of the
shrewdest baseball men in the bust
ness, as well as Ashenbaok, and with
these two hustlers in the league, back
ed up by windy king" Kelly and Jim
Grim, they will make things lively in
| the South Atlantic territory.
Billy Smith, who will look after the
Central City aggregation, is also a dis
turber on the side lines and possesses
more original back talk than Bowerv
kid. Savannah's manager has not
been signed, but if everything pans out
right Throw 'em Down McClusky
will don the war paint for the local
aggregation, and do the stunts up
and down the side lines.
All of the managers left Savannah
/ yesterday, and went home to get things
! in shape. Practices will be commence
ed in all of the cities about March
25, and as many exhibition games as
possible will be played.

that he is on the wane. A great light
weight, this coffee colored fellow-the
greatest that ever showed his hand into
glove; but the social environs of
Baltimore and the highly colored lau-
dations that have been heaped upon
him has-well Bob Armstrong, who is
closer to Cans than a mustard plaster,
said that the champion was very near
to the 'all in thing.
Jack Blackburn and Sam Langford
both made Cans look cheap. That
would give much credence to the story
that AL HerfOrds hope is not the Won
der he has been. And any boy at the
weight who is not o. K. stands pretty
chance of losing to this same Fitz-
gerald. He is clever, has g, good head
and a knockout in either hand.
Cans has trained hard for this go.
It means much to him. If he gets
back to what he was he will win. Cans
right, the Cans of old, outclasses
Fitzgerald as Jeffries does Joe Grim;
but Cans full of the softening and

Willie Fitzgerald is to fight Joe Cans
for the lightweight championship to-
night. The battle will take place at
the Metropolitan Athletic Club in De-

They have met before. Cans knock
ed out Fitzgerald in San Francisco in
ten rounds. But on that occasion the
boys met at catchweights, and the
black had at least ten pounds the bet
ter of the white.
In the coming trial 1876 pounds is the
stipulated heft, and they weigh in at 6
o'clock on the night or the trouble.
This will suit Fitzgerald.
Sizing up this attempt at a change

may go back to Brooklyn. Fitzgerald
Is a Brooklyn boy. Jack McAuliffe,
