The Union Giants suffered the loss
of TWO games out of three last week
with the Clinton Independents. The
second game played was complete
landslide for the local team, they de-
feating the Giants by score of 10 to
), the Giants apparently not having
a peep in at the game. The third
game was one of the most exciting of
the season, the fans almost going wild
at times with enthusiasm. At the
close of the first half of the ninth in
ming the score stood 1 to ) in favor
of the Giants. Clinton then went to
bat. with two men on first and second
basee, Dooley, ClintOn's crack first
baseman. drove a foul ball into the
field. A new ball was then thrown
into the pitchers box, followed imme-
diately by the return of the old ball
TO the diamond. A discussion of
length was then entered into as to
which ball was in play, the local team
claiming the old ball to be out of
play. The white ball got the prefer
ence, much to the discontinue of the
Giants, as they knew the white ball
could be driven much farther than
the old one. Dooly accordingly land
ed on the ball, sending it into extreme
right field, bringing in two scores,
himself making three bases. Thus
the game ended by score of S to 4
in Clinton's favor, by chance hit in
the right place at the right time.
May Mitchell of Fulton attended the
picnic at Joyce's Park last week.
Miss Estella Bush returned Tuesday
night from an over the Fourth visit
with relatives and friends in Chicago.
There are some people in Clinton

that you neglect this matter no long

week and the editor expects you to
pay for it. Delinquent subscriptions

Inere was at last a long November week while Anne was at Winchester and when she and Armand, his wound healed, rode together along the valley ways. The young Frenchman still re- mained guest, for the baron would hear no word of departure. He swore he should not leave 'him till the season opened again at Williamsburg.
 The day before their return to Glad den Hall the ladies spent at Green way Court. As the mild November afternoon faded Armand and Anne sat in the rustic house, built of twisted grapevine, set where the round spul on which the lodge was built fell steep ly down. A book lay on her knee.

 HThey were too later' she whispered "You fought, then? An, while I was so glad!" .....
 She crouched down by the settle, her hand pressed tight against her heart, full of a joyful anguish she had never known. Something she had fought down hitherto rose in her throat and choked her at sight of this hurt, this helplessness. A
 At last, yielding all at once, with a little sob and gesture of pride and longing and surrender, she bent slowly, like swaying lily, and kissed him on the forehead.
 He stirred and opened his eyes with wonder in them to see her face so near.
 "Mademoiselle!'
 'You have been woundedv' she breathed.
 He tried to rise and, failing, smiled at her. ''It is a little thing. The do1 tor has told me that. And you care! Then it is nothing-less than nothing"
 You make light of it."
 He lifted himself on one elbow and stretched out an uncertain hand to- ward her. "Mademoiselle," he said, twas I dreaming when you came or did-or did, She was on her feet now, and her eyes turned their gaze away. No, no," she answered; 'tyou were asleep" AS I opened my eyes just now it seemed-as if you had-kissed me on the forehead. Was that dream, made moiselle?'
 Ut was dream" she said hurried fy, her voice wavering.
 You kissed mel. Joy was in his look.
 "No."
 "Ah, mademoiselle!' He fell back on the skins.
 With suddenly rosying cheeks she ran toward the door, to meet the old baron entering from the hall. |

CHAPTER TX.

Yr IN the gray wreathed dawn Lord
 Dunmore, at the head of his Virginia troops, marched off
 with fife and drum for Fort Pitt, and the buff and scarlet passed the Kings Arms, where Anne peered from the window to see them off In lone of the scarlet groups she distin- iguished Francis Byrd. Drawing the Icurtains close under her chin, she put |out hand and waved to him, smiling, land he saluted her face with flash of Ihis sword and wistful look as he rode by. Immediately behind the governor, inear Jarrat, rode Foy, and a sting of re- Isentment made her clinch her hands, with the steel in her eyes.
 When they had gone she crept back into the warm bed and lay smilingly thinking. She should see Armand soon again, and he should never know what lshe had done So thinking, she drop. ped to sleep and did not wake till the sun was high.
 She breakfasted with gay spirits, in sisted on riding horseback and, followed by John the Baptist, galloped off a hal1 hour in advance of her aunts chariot along the way to Greenway Court.
 She entered No one was in the hall. and her feet fell noiselessly in the thick buffalo robe on the floor.
 She pushed open the door of the liy~ ing room and then stopped, startled.
 She saw settle strewn with skins, q wave of curling brown hair pillowed on it and under this glimpse of pale face turned away. There was shaded window opposite, and light came through it whitely A hand and wrist hung over to the floor. There was some thing desolate in the silence, something appealing in the droop of that hand that brought smart to Anne's eyes as she looked.
 Suddenly she caught her breath and took quick steps forward into the room, gazing searchingly at the figure on the couch-the strong hair, setting all tha paleness of the face in a shadowy frame; the blue circles under the closed lids, the young mouth, the upward
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-03-08

'ooJ anu uHcertaln. She smiled as she saw the dim figure sitting with feet outstretched. just the top of the pow dered peruke showing over the back of the big chair.
 With her finger on her lips in that in stinctive pantomime that belongs te woman, she stole across the floor on tiptoe and, sweeping suddenly, clapped her cold palms over the eyes of the soli- tary occupant and laughed gayly AS he started and put warm hands to her chill ones.
 II have secret to tell you," she breathed with futtering laugh, "and you mustn't look at me when say it. I wonder if any one in Virginia can be as happy as I am. The Marquis de la Trouerie-uncle, he has asked me to wed him.
 and, stumbling, went back a few steps, for the figure that had risen from the chair was not Colonel Tillotson. Even in the dim light as she retreated she could see the glare of flaming malice in his look and the sheer curling his full lips.
 'I tell you, Captain Jarrat,' she said in wave of fierce anger, "I hate yon! I hate your face and your crafty ways! Ah," she ended, stamping her foot, mo gentleman would have let me speak would have listened"
 II am no marquis" Jarrat rejoined, with ghastly smile. II am only sorry I did not hear the end of that sweet confidence. The fair Mistress Tillotson answered that she would joy to wed the noble gentleman, I suppose
 Aye, and if she didT'
 He laughed-a Jarring, mirthless laugh.
 'tWhy, then, I, who have failed to win her with simple soldiers name, should wish her joy of the tinsel of her title.''
 ''You mistake" she cried passionate ly. An you were the king himself I would not look at you. The man I. love I would wed the same were he poor and nameless and of no report-aye, a laborer in the fields instead of the no- bleman he is!''
 A voice in the hall struck across the quivering tones:
 "Rashleigh, a bottle of my best ca nary, and stir your bones about it. Come in, come in, marquis. We shall have glass to this, I promise you" The door opened, and Colonel Tillotson came forward, blinking in the blaze of the branched candlestick he carried.
 .Ah, here you are, Anne, intrenched in the dusk with re-enforcements, eh? We'll, the battle is over, and I have surrendered"
 She had raised her hand to stop him. "Uncle," she warned, you have a guest"
 The colonel stopped at sight of the other in some confusion.
 Why he exclaimed, T am indeed sorry. Rashleigh, you black rascal, why did you not tell me the captain was here?''
 "I did but call to bear message to your niece, colonel" Jarrat answered.
