cesdingly unconventional, if unavord. able, affair. She would probably imag- inc had designs on her handsome ing man. and as polite as he can be-. Of course, really ought to fall in love with him after such a romantic meeting" 1" then suddenly realizing whither her thoughts were trending, she actually blushed Fortunately for her. he was too much interested in his own thoughts to see the change of her color. He, too, was thinking strange things, but for some reason which he did not try to analyze, he did not care to interrupt his reyerie.
 "She is fine looking girl, he thought to himself, "aud plueky, too, to walk so far through the snow, though it is easy to see that she is pretty nearly tuckered out. She has just the color of brown eyes that like, and the hair blowing about her temples is beautiful. l SUD- pose there are half dozen young chaps in love with her already, who will try to win her. A girl can't be in this coun- try a week before every young claim jumper in the region, knows it and con- mences to poster the life out of her, and she has to marry one of them to get rid of the crowd"
 Really, it almost made him angry to think of it. And. of course, they won't have any more sense with girl like her; what on earth would she want with such fellows as they? I wonder if anyone has asked her to go to that entertain ment at the Gray schoolhouse? It's four miles out of my way, but Pve mind to ask her! That isn't half so far as some of them go for girl!'
 He did not drive rapidly, and he did not think all this at once. but sandT wiched his thoughts between sentences. When he arrived at the schoolhouse and he helped her out of the buggy, her hand rested moment in his, and then and there he made the quickest resolution of his life, and the most important, namely, that if her heart was not all ready in the keeping of another he would win it. He was not sorry when they found the scholars had gone home again, evidently thinking that she was not coming that day, and they went in, while John stirred I'D the fire, insisting that she must warm herself before he took her on to MT. Whites.
 Miss Thurston protested at his putting himself to so much trouble for her and insisted that she could walk back. but he would not hear of 1t. Perhaps it is not surprising that, under these circum- stances, their acquaintance progressed very rapidly, and when John asked if he might call on her she said she would ssbe very glad to have him, for he seemed already like an old friend"
 Well. that was the beginning, and it does not take much imagination to see what the end would be if he had his way about it. and he did.
 If there had been enough people round about who knew how frequently John availed himself of the privilege she gave him, and how often they went sleigh riding. there would have been much wagging of tongues Mrs. White, how syer. was not gossip and saw few nAn-

SULLIVAN WAS PLUCKY.

New York. March 2.-While the de- feat of Dave Sullivan by Young Cor @ bett at San Francisco on Monday night was no surprise to the local followers of pugilism, the Irishman's plucky showing and the Tenth Of the mlll were discussed yesterday. That the better man won is evident, but Sull1- vans ability to withstand Corpett s fierce punches as long Jas he did was freely commented on. sullivan's grit alone kept him in the fight. He was Gutclassed from the start and was or the verge of a complete knockout when Referee Eddie Graney stopped the pat tie i1i the eleventh round. There was nothing of moment in the first round. ] The fighters simply spent their time taking each others measure. The second was lively. Corbett woke up and knocked Sullivan down with left on the side of the head. When Sulli- van returned to his corner he was bleeding and dazed Tn, the third both mixed it up severely, but they met at short range and nothing serious hap pened Sullivan was hoored in the fourth and fifth rounds and. was stag gering at the finish. His courage alone saved him from going out, h the sixth Sullivan surprised Corbett py meeting the IaLLeE dt every luAAl- 6s x AAS crowd rnarveled at Sullivan's fecupef- ative powers and cheered him. Sull1- y..n forced the fighting in the seventh but Young Corbett did not seem to fear suIlivan's blows. They were not ard, and in order to get home solid smashes himself Corbett rushed Sullivan, leay- ing plenty of openings for Dave: But the Irishman was too weak to take ad- vantage. / Tn the tenth, Sullivan's legs trembIed under him and he was scarcely able to go to his corner. He freshened up bit for the eleventh. but 1t could easily be seen that he Lad shot his bolt and was nearly gone After he had gone down twice i'll rapid succession and blood was streaming from his lips and face, the referee stopped the fight. Sullivan wanted to continue, but Graney would not let him. His action Tn refusing met with popular approval Aiere was not rnrlcd, betting on the fight in town on the result.

 The conditions of the match, protect

 Hanlon's style, and were handicap

 at that game. Decker received so
 much punishment in the third round that it seemed to be sure betting he would be put out in the fourth. But Hanlon was not as vicious in the fourth as he had been and Decker was able to come up stronger for the fifth. , In that round both boys tumbled head long through the ropes to the floor. They were helped into the ring by the police. Hanlon immediately rushed Decker and was hissed by the crowd.
 The bout began with Hanlon boring in
 and receiving three uppercuts on the face. which did not jar him at all He reached Decker's body and planted all kinds of tattoos with both hands. Decker held on to Hanlon's neck. That performance was repeated i'll every round, and Decker clinched and was we'll walloped. Hanlon went at Decker and was uppercut without vls- ible effect. He rusned George to lAe ropes and then, did the punching. All
 that Decker could do was to catch
 Hanlon coming in and then hang on.

HrSC SCep toward consolidation looking to the ultimate formation of a twelve club circuit which is bound to come in the course of time.
 With Bridgeport, Hartford, Norwich and Worcester in the ranks, the Con- necticut league certainly has the great est quartet of dead ones" that any minor organization was ever forced to carry. In the case of Norwich criti,. cism should not be too severe, as it is only small town anyway, but those other three numbering hoodoos ought to be kicked out of the league nedk and crop. There hasn't been dollar made in base ball i'll any of those places for long time. Worcester was the most awful thing that the Eastern league ever tackled, and base ball men there dropped the game like hot po tato. Hartford's history in the Con- nectieut league has been one bowling farce, while the sporting writers ill Bridgeport confessed in the columns Of their papers this winter that their city is the poorest apology for sport ing town on the map.-Springfeld News

 "They tell me that you want to bet that the American league will be dead when the National league is still aliveY' said Farrell.
 Dreyfuss grinned as he said: Well, what of it?''
 "Just this,'' retorted Farrell. ''I'll bet you $2O,OOO to $1O,O0O, post $500 now to bind the wager and put up the rest of the money Monday morning at 10 o'clock, that the American league will be doing business when tfe Natl nal Ioa9ue is dead and bur- fed. Where's your sporting blood P
