-"what should you say if some day should bring you daughter?' "Oh! that is it?" interrogated Chev. reau, dryly, but he sighed little, too Theon was all he had, and it was hard that after all these years of comrade' ship a pretty face should win him away in few short weeks. Still, it was na. ture.
 Boy, boy!" he smiled, ruefully, q had almost forgotten that you could grow into man. But be careful Theon, be careful"
 He knew how absurdly useless was the warning, and he smiled griEly to himself, but the smile hardened to a sheer as he turned and stared again at the gray towers of the chateau, loom ing shadowy in the dusk.
 After 20 years! And this is good day"
 The road from B., past the old chateau, is very beautiful. Strangers travelling through the country take the drive and exclaiEl at the fairness of open field and massive wood, but there is one spot where silence comes in- voluntarily, long, shadowed stretch where the forest rises darkly on both sides, and twilight reigns at high noon Here the wood to the right extends but few rods, ending abruptly in the high cliff that follows the road for miles and far below, in the silence of the for est, comes the subdued rush and mur- mur of the deep river, swirling against the rocks in its bed.
 In the day it is beautiful, but at night 1t Is awesome, and none travel past them but those whose way leads them there of necessity.
 On the night that Jules D'Arblay rode to B., the deep forest lay quiet and still, knowing that the one sound that would awaken it's echoes would be the gallop of returning horse. Jules D'Arblay always returned late. and alone. He was later than usual to. night, for he was making arrangements to leave indefinitely. As rule he en. joyed spending his summers in the fine old chateau, but this summer he pre- ferred to leave.
 The trees rose high and met in thick arches over the road, shutting out the light of the stars. The trees and the little bushes were the only things of the forest not asleep in the vastness of the night, and they stirred and whis- pered, holding wisely to one another and shivering awesomely in the silence.
 Down the hard road came the whole some reality of steady hoof-beats, and the quivering bushes held themselves to listen as horse and rider came nearer through the black shadows. At one side the low grass rustled, and two rest less eyes gleamed at the dark outline approaching. The slim, straight shadow sat fearlessly erect and unconscious of danger.

THE POOL CHAMPION.
De Orc Will Make a Legal Fight for
 the Title,

St Louis, April 12.-Alfredo De Orc still claims to be the pool champion of the world. Last Wednesday the title of champion of America was conferred on Jerome Keogh of Buff falo by the donors of the champion ship emblem which De Gro won in the tournament at the Broadway and still holds.
 De Gro states that he will not turn over his championship to KeOgh, as demanded by the donors of the trO- phy. De Orc says that if the firm announces it will keep his forfeit money he will sue them to recover the same. "'
 It goes without saying that if the firm brings suit against De Gro to recover the trophy he will be only too glad to fight them in the courts. De Gro said yesterday that, although he had not received any official notice of the Buffalo peoples action in ap- pointing Keogh champion, that he took it for granted that the news was correct and that he would receive an official communication to that effect in day or so.
 "The only title that I claim is champion of the world," said De Gro. 'The trophy which I won in the Broadway tournament in which de- feated KeOgh plainly states cham pion of the world
 "Yet Keogh challenged me to play under American championship rules. told him that would play him in Havana, Cuba. He did not accept. see that they have appointed him champion of America. He can have that title if he wants it. I am cham piOn of the world, though. I won all my emblems with my cue, and none by default.
 "Keogh won't get my trophy. I would be in great fix if I went to Europe and some fellow kept chal- lenging me every couple of weeks. According to the Buffalo theory I would have to play everybody that posts a forfeit.
 Il know that I can defeat Keogh. If he wants a match I will give him a chance to play for the worlds championship. which hold. As the game is for the worlds championship I think have perfect right to name the place where the match is played. which I did-Havana, Cuba. To sat isfy Keogh. however. l will play him in St Louis or some other city. Let him come out and try to win the championship. for he will never get my emblem by default.'

After Twenty
 Years
By AGNES LouIsE PROVOST

EROM the old Daubier house, which C Victor Chevreau had rented for the summer, the gray towers of Chateau D'Arblay rose like dim etching be. yond the massed shadows of the woods Victor Chevreau spent much time look ing over at the gray towers.
 His neighbors, as neighbors will, had exercised themselves to considerable extent to determine who and what he was, but the result was not satisfying. He and his son had taken the rambling old stone house for rest and quiet after years of constant travel, but the coun- try houses around them had small use for such modest retirement. Two men, living alone with no women folk but a few servants, and with seemingly suf- flciency of worldly store, are sure to be objects of inquiring interest, and al- ready the strong-limbed old man with the leonine head and eyes that saw all things had figured in score of fear full escapades in the fertile brains of tho community, and had been attributed ro a bewildering number of nationalities. Theon, the son, was very different. He. was young and good looking. with no notion of being a recluse, and was soon a familiar figure in the society ot the locality. The years of travel had made him the most interesting of cos mopolitans, and his gentle courtesy with women and good-humored frankness with men had won him the readiest vel. come.
 Below the old Daubier house yellow road wound and wandered, and lost itself in the deep woods through which it must pass on it's way to the town oi B.. Late in the afternoon a horse man, slim and erect, galloped along here and disappeared in the deep shades. !,
 Our neighbor, M. D'Arblay," re- marked Theon, casually, watching the equestrian from sight. "He rides to B."
 The elder Chevreau made no reply but presently he leaned forward and rested his massive chin firmly in his hand. Theon, watching him, saw that the lines of his face were deep and hard.
 You are not well to-day, mon pere?' he asked, quickly, for between father and son was the tenderness of women.
 You forget the day." answered Chevreau, staring blackly down the vel. low road "It is just 20 years, Theon, since-we left France"
 Pardon mel" The young mans face flushed sensitively, but the father laid heavy hand on his knee and continued the subject so rarely mentioned between them.
 Twenty years, Theon, since they dis graced me before my country. They took my sword from me. my rank, my honor, and marched me like criminal through the files of my regiment. And was their colonel! My God!"
 His nostrils quivered with repressed excitement, for after 20 years the old

HERFoRD's MANY MATCHES.

HERFORD'S MANY MATCHES.
 The unemployed boxer of. reputation, if Al Herford has his way, will be taken care of in the future at Balti- more.. He has arranged for many matches. The first takes place on April 21, and will be between Tommy Daly and Aurelia Herrera, the Mexi- can. After that Benny Yanger will meet Kid Sullivan of Washington, who recently met Young Corbett. Then I am negotiating for a match between Owen Moran and some other good ban tam for the first week in May. I have landed bout between Jack O'Brien and Kid Mccoy for fifteen rounds, which is to be held about the middle of next month.
 ''I think that Baltimore is the com ing fighting center, and if any of the crack boxers want to appear there they can get engagements. I will give a purse of 5000 with privilege of 60 per cent of the gate receipts for O'Brien and Tommy Ryan. But l don't think that Ryan wants any of O'Brien's game. And I am also pre- pared to give $15OOO for twenty round bout between Jimmy Britt and Joe Cans at 133 pounds ringside, the same as in their last encounter. Let no one deceive themselves about Cans not being able to get 133 pounds. He can do so and will prove this any time. I think that Cans and Battling Nelson will fight at Baltimore. At present I am arranging such a bout"

REFBREE HAS TROUBLES.

7, onds and police got mixed up in gen eral rough house for the final mix-up of boxing exhibition given by the Hudson Athletic club of Canton, near here, Monday night.
 Kid Taylor of Maine, who is charged with having f<lrted the muss, was taken to the Nnton police station, where he was released temporarily upon depositing $5 Yesterday morn- ing he failed to appear. and the magis- trate pronounced the $5 forfeited.
 The breakup occurred in the ninth round of hot battle between Tommy Lowe of Washington and Jack Me Clain. It was originally intended that Jack O'Neill was to box Lowe. O'Neil failed to appear and McClain took his place.
 It was set-to for ten rounds and, as McClain had a big advantage in weight, he also seemed to be having the better of the fighting until the ninth round, when. it is charged, Lowe deliberately and foully threw him heavily to the floor.
 Referee Otto Williams immediately disqualified Lowe, and then Kid Tay- Tor of Maine, who was one of LOwe's seconds, jumped into the ring and like wise proceeded to jump into the ref cree. But for police interference, it is said, Taylor would have finished Ref cree Williams.

 RUBLIN AFTER MARVIN HART.
 Billy Madden is of the opinion that the only way that Marvin Hart cain in sist upon match with Jim Jeffries is by meeting his man. Gus Ruhlm. The Akron Giant has accordingly chal- lenged the southerner and is prepared to face Hart at either Baltimore or San Francisco at any time or in any place Hart sees fit.
 Hart should not ignore Ruhlin." SAYS Madden, because the pair have already met. and I think Gus is the better man. Then match between the two would be good test for Hart and would enable the public to get an excellent line on the qualities of Hart Ruhlin is taller than Jeffries. has a long reach and is an ideal heavy weight. Such bout would attract a lot of folks who would want to see what Hart could do. If he succeeded in beating Ruhlin. Hart would be in a fine position to force the champion in- to a match
