neither Of them regarded the news as
of sufficient Importance to need much
comment. They did not think of telling
Beverley and Alice. Jean, however,
lying awake in his little bed, overheard
the conversation, which he repeated to
Alice next morning with great circum-
stantiality.
Having the quick insight bred of
frontier experience. Alice instantly
caught the terrible significance of the
dilemma in which she and Beverley
would be placed by Long Hairs situa-
I ton. Moreover, something in her heart
arose with irresistible power demand
ing the final. the absolute human SYM
pathy and gratitude. No matter what
deeds Long Hair had committed that
were evil beyond forgiveness. he had
done for her the all atoning thing. He
had saved Beverley and sent him back

With start and chill of dread, she
thought, what If it is already too

But her nature could not hesitate. To
feel the demand of an exigency was
to act. She snatched wrap from its
peg on the wall and ran as fast as she
could to the fort. People who met her
flying along wondered, staring after
her, what could be urging her so that
she saw nobody, checked herself for
nothing, ran splashing through the pud-
dies i'll the street, gazing ahead Of her
as if pursuing some flying object from
which she dared not turn her eyes.
And there was indeed call for her
: utmost power of flight If she would be
of any assistance to Long Hair, who
even then stood bound to stake in the
forts area, while platoon of riflemen,
| those nnarrinp shots from Kontuclv
and Virginia, were ready to make a
target of him at range of but twenty
yards.
Beverley, greatly handicapped by the
fact that the fresh scalp of a white
man hung at Long Hairs belt, had ex-
hausted every possible argument to
avert or mitigate the sentence promptly
spoken by the court martial Of which
Colonel Clark was the ruling spirit. He
had succeeded barely to the extent Of

south Atlantic League standin

Brunswick. Ga, May 5.-The mag
nifcent pitching of George Ogle in his
initial game was responsible for the
second shut-out victory of the Path
finders this season.
The game this afternoon was largely
an experiment for new men at some
of the more important positions. Wag-
ner was shifted from third to back
stop and Con Welsh was put in at
third. So effective was this arrange
ment that il now looks as if in Wag-
ner the Pathfinders have at last found
a back stop whose superior Will not
be found in any league in Glass D.
The outcome of the contest in ad-
vance was not even speculated upon.
The locals only worked to see if they
could score with Walker in the box
and Bowen doing the receiving with
almost an errorless outfield and infield
support. The victory for the Path
finders was clean cut and earned by
hard hitting.
"a strong wind in the teeth of the
batters cut off several home runs. The
batting feature of the game was the
terrific hitting of LaRocque, and the
timely singles of Kid Oyler. Wag-
ner's heady coaching and perfect
throwing stamped him as the right
man TO take the excellent bunch of
youngsters who have been signed on
the slabstaff in hand.
The run getting started in the sec
ond inning on a double, and single
brought Ray across the plate Three
more were scored in the fifth and
four in the ninth, LaRocque's home
run over center field fence scoring three

New York, May 5.-Irish Lad won the
sixteenth running of the METROPOLITAN
handicap, over the Withers mile, at
Morris Park, to-day in easy fashion.
He was carrying the top weight, and
was favorite in the betting by many
points. Taking the lead. in the first
hundred yards, he led his field without
trouble, though the pace was not fast.
The horse seemed to feel his SUI
periority, and at the quarters
slackened his speed, as if unwilling to
run faster than necessary. AS re-
suit the field closed upon him. Shaw
then gave his mount vigorous shak-
ing up, and Irish Lad drew out and
won gy two lengths from Toboggan, an
added starter from the Keene stable.
Beldame, winner of the Carter handi-
cap, few weeks ago, was third, after
a nose and nose finish with the much
vaunted High Ball. The time was 14O.
The race was worth about 1000 to
the winner, $4,000 to the second and
$1,000 to the third horse.
The first betting was to 1 against
Irish Lad, but heavy wagers sent his
price down to TO l.
A crowd officially estimated at IS 900
saw the race. The day was delightful.
and the track was in perfect condition.
Under direction of the Jockey Club
the start for the Metropolitan and the
other races was from directly behind
the barrier, and a standing start, as
in previous years. This discontinues
the system introduced by Mrs. CASH
dy of having the horses walk up to
the barrier.

IvER LAWSON RETURNS.
Hoy ON the wheel Is Here with the
Goods.

liver Lawson, the. cyclist, has reached
New York, after a five months cam
paign in Australia, where he won TWEEN
ty-eight first, five second and one third
prizes.
Besides his appearance money, his
cash prizes amounted to $4,000, so that
he cleaned up nearly $4,000.
1t is quite true, Lawson says, that a
crowd of less than $1,000 persons at
cycle race is considered a poor one in
Australia. All the stories of big crowds
and big purses are correct, he says,
and he is going back there next win
ter. At one race, Lawson says. there
were $4,000 spectators and the gate
money was $4,000 Bookmaking is
common at the tracks, and the ma
jority of spectators bet. At the Aus
tralian race there were seventy-five
bookmakers in the ring.
