 But in his frenZied efforts to rally his men the master of Hochfels found himself face to face with the leader of the already victorious troops. At the sight of him the pretender paused. His breast rose and fell with his labored breathing. His sword was dyed red, also his arms. his clothes. From his forehead the blood ran down over his beard. His eyes rolled like those of an animal He seemed something inhu- man, an incarnation of batfied purpose.
 If it is reprisal you want. Sir Duke. you shall have it,' he panted.
 "Reprisal.'' exclaimed Robert of Frieiwald scornfully. "The best you can offer is your life.-
 And with that they closed. Evading the strokes of his more bulky antago- mist. the younger mans sword repeat edly sought the vulnerable part of the others srmor. The free baron's strength became exhausted. His blows rang harmlessly or struck the empty air.
 A sensation of pain admOnished him of his own disability. About him his band had melted away. Dosgedly had they given up their lives beneath sword. mace and poniard- The ground was strewn with the slain. Riderless horses were gaIloping up the road. The free baron breathed yet harder.

 He broke of abruptly, wishing to
 spare her the bitter memory of hel own acts. Did she remember that day when she had been queen of the chap. let. when she had crowned him whom now death and dishonor had over taken:
 "The rest madam, you know-save this" And, stopping, he picked up the ornament that had dropped from Louis of Hochfels' neck Here, princess, is the miniature you sent me. He who used you SD ill stole it from me 1, prison; through 1t he recognized the fool for the duke: with an assassins blow he struck me down."
 A moment he looked at that fair painted semblance. Did it recall the past too vividly? His face showed no pain, only tranquility. His eye was rather that of cOnn0isscur than a lover. He smiled gently, then held it to her.
 Mechanically she let the portrait slip through her fingers, and it fell to the moistened grass near the form of him who had welded her. Then she drew back her dress so that it might not touch the body at her feet.
 Have your majesty's permission to withdraw" she said coldly.

 "As you will" said the emperor.
 With no further word she bowed deeply, turned and. slowly retracing her steps, mounted her horse and rode away, followed by her maids and the troopers of France.
 As she disappeared. without one i backward glance, the duke gazed quick y toward the spot where Jacqueline had been standing. He remembered the young girl had heard his story.

ANGELS BAT OUT
ANOTHER VICTORY
WINNING STREAK CONTINUES
UNBROKEN
Tigers Take Early Lead, but Are Un-
able to Hold It-Baum Allows
Them Only Three
Hits
Los Angeles, q; Tacoma, 8

It's the same old story, Los Angeles
won.
Bones Baum was one too many for
the Orphans and they could connect
safely but three times. Baum's puz-
zlers were not disturbed after the first
inning. except once in the fourth in
ming, when Lynch managed to get a
scratch safely to left.
AS usual, the Wanderers began the
game like they meant business, scor-
ing three runs, but the Angels went
about the winning process in the same
old way and when the end of the jour-
ney was reached they had scored one
too many for their opponents from the
frigid zone.
Doyle led off for the Tigers with a
single. Sheehan took four wide ones
and Nordyke forced Doyle in an at
tempt at sacrificing. Eagan singled,
scoring Sheehan and Mclaughlin hit
to Toman, who was a trifle slow in
throwing to the plate, allowing Nor
dyke to score. Lynch went out, To-
man to Dillon, Eagan crossing the pan
on the play. Mclaughlin loitered to-
ward third and was tagged

left. Flood followed suit and Smith
was safe on an error by Casey. With
the bases jammed, Dillon got in the
way of one of Fitzgeralds easy ones
and took first, forcing Bernard across
the plate Cravath hit high one to
MCLAUGHLIN and Flood beat the throw
in. Ross flew to center and Toman
dropped an easy one to Casey.
Bones settled down in the second in
ming and the Tigers run-getting was
put to an end for the remainder of the
game. Fitzgerald attempted the same
feat. but the Angels fell onto his
curves in the seventh for the tying
run. Flood getting homer over the
right field fence which has not re-
ported for duty.
Ross singled in the eighth but was
doubled with Toman moment later.
Eager singled to left and Baum doub-
led. Bernard was safe on a wild throw
by Eagan to first. Ross failed to see
the necessity for further monkey bus
mess and fouled to Hogan. The next
three Tigers were dead easy and went
out one, two, three. Thus the story
is told.

GOSSIP /

coast fans will be the melting between
AL Kaufman, the kid wonder, and
Jack O'Brien one week from tonight.
| This battle will be held at Frisco and
is expected not to show that O'Brien
is not in the heavyweight division, but
to demonstrate just how good Al is.
Kaufman has never met man or
O'Briens caliber and 1t is freely pre-
dicted that the twenty pounds differ
ence in their weight will not enter
largely into the result. Should Kauff-
man win, it is hard to figure just what
he has gained by the battle. Should he
lose 1t is an easy proposition to esti-
mate his chances for heavyweight hon
ors in the future. O'Brien has met
some of the pugilistic stars who
weighed in against him more than
twenty pounds to the good and has
either defeated them or secured a draw,
and unless Kaufman is the wonder he
is touted to be, he will have all to lose
and nothing to gain by the fight The
fight fans will know all about it Satur-
day morning, October %.
Mike Challenges Cans
This weeks Police Gazette publishes
q challenge from Mike Twin Sullivan
to any 133-pounder in the business.
Mike went into the ring Tuesday night
and made known his desires to meet
any man in the world at that weight
and he has money to back his challenge.
Local fight fans are hoping that Cans
will come across the continent and
meet the sturdy little Bostonese before
McCareys audience and if Macs eff
forts are not in vain this will be one of
the treats in store for the midwinter
holiday season.
Baseball Attendance
With the Angels playing in cham
pionship form and winning with reg
ularity, Manager Morley is unable to
account of the slim attendance at
Chutes park. Less than 500 fans were
out yesterday to see the uphill and vic
torious struggle of the home team, and
that with the Seraphic squad only five
points from the top rung. With every
indication favoring the local tribe as
the pennant winners, Morley is ag-
grieved that such an Indifferent state
OF mind exists among the local fans.
He says the attendance yesterday was
$500 under expectations.
Pennant Possibilities
Manager Morley is already counting
the pennant as won for Los Angeles.
Oakland's win yesterday merely STAYED
off the final occupancy of the top rung
by the locals, says he, and before the
end of the week, or just as soon as
Oakland consents TO lose anotner game,
the Angels will perch on top to stay.
When the season ends, Morley says.
the local tribe will be easily in the
lead and ready to fight it out with the
Orphans for the rag. Unless Tacoma
improves greatly, the Angels expect to
have as easy time winning the bunt-
ing as did New York in getting the
worlds championship. If 1t wasn't so
far to the American metropolis, Morley

switched to full and promises to make
the all-Southern California team in
his position.
Ben Neaphus has probably been
the greatest favorite of the southern
gridiron, and his removal from quar-
ter to half, thus relieving him of any
responsibility as to the direction of
the team, may mean an advantage to
the Sherman men. His headwork lifted
the eleven out of many tight place in
former years, and the question Is
whether the new man will be able to
satisfactorily fill his position.
The officials have been selected and
Kenneth Hamilton of Berkeley will
act as umpire, with Traeger referee
ing. Haggerty will be head linesman.
