NOTES OF THE N0TABLEs.

Some idea Of the way J. Kitson had
the Nationals buffaloed in the first game
may be gained from the fact that his
infielders had seventeen assists. Only
four balls went out of the diamond, and
three of them were easy flies. The
fourth was Townsend's triple.

DETROIT. May 20-This is a tale OF
mingled veal and woe. how our naughty
Nationals displayed a seraphic inno-
cenee OF the fumary rudiments of base
ball IN the first game with Detroit yes
terday. In the second game they did all
, things which they should have done in
the first.
In the first game that venerable relic
OF bygone days, Kitson, had the youth
full Nationals looking like a Sunday
school class waiting for the Christmas
prizes They did every little trick he
demanded, and would sing and go
through pretty exercises, and 1t was
great sight to see how they obeyed him
by making punky little infieid smashes
that Were worthy of a grammar school
nine, and only twice did he allow them
any breathing spell, and that was in the
seventh inning, when Cassidy beat a
bunt, but died on second. and in the
eighth round, when Jack Townsend re-
futed all rumors that the Delaware
peach crop was a failure by making
| triple.
Reversal of Form.
| The second game was one of those re-
versals of form which make baseball
such an uncertain proposition that you
can generally get odds botn ways in
| these betting towns. So easy were the
Nationals in the first attempt that to
| 2 was offered that they would gait the
| field without a victory, and this was
gobbied up and there was some lively
roofing by the self-interested gamblers
who had staked their money.
| Batting lamps were trimmed, there
was nimbleness in the work afield and
the men played together like cham
pions. Operations were begun early by
/ making nine runs off MuIlin. the crack
Detroit twfrler, in four innings, and
| after that he and Sullivan were chased
! to the bench The .'Beanpole battery,
Ford and Doran, was substituted. and
| the youngsters were wild and nervous,
| but Ford was hit only twice in the five
| innings and only one run was scored
| off him.
Jacobsen haG the home team looking
| exactly as foolish as Washington did in
! the first game and it never had Il chance
with him. Ne let his opponents down
| with three hits and 1t was the bunch
| ing OF two OF these with a pass in the
third inning which gave Detroit its two
| runs.

their sisters coadjutors in the Bible class, but their glance betrayed their appreciation of the charms and man. ner of their new acquaintance.
 Not that Angela Hartmann was an ideal beauty-a Phryne to be painted by Apelles or modelled by Praxiteles, or Titian's Flora, or even a Madonna of in her voice and a softness in her de- meanor which at once attracted, while. though the habitual expression of her mild cheek and penciled brow was grave, it was at the same time not rig orous. but sympathetic. Nevertheless. ga time flowed on the enthusiasm of the Falconet family in her behalf. and especially of it's female portion, abat- ed. They embraced her when they met, but they did not meet very often: they still much talked of her when she was not present, but amid varying comments and criticism there seemed a general agreement that they could not quite make her out. She had sweetly declined to assist them in their Bible classes, and had softly refused to teach at their Sunday schools. She was not uninterested in hymnology. but her songs of adoration were dif- ferent from those in their orthodox collection. Miss Hartmann regularly

 Good gracious!" exclaimed Mrs. s. Falconet.
 You need not be too much alarmed. my dear. for said to him-I thought 1t just as well to say to him-you have two advanced thinkers there, MT. Hartmann.

Claribel a little lost her presence of mind. She did not know the envoy of her friend, and yet she ought to know everybody who was anybody. And this, too, a stranger so distinguished! He seemed made to appreciate her. She was already contemplating her ir- resistible influence over him, though certainly before she commenced her mystic charms she would have liked to have known exactly who he was. But aspiring to control, she felt herself controlled. She rose and with slight bow took his offered arm.
 He gave her some tea, observing Lady Clanmorne had not arrived, and then, without any formal suggestion on his part, she found herself seated, and the stranger by her side.
 T owe Lady Clanmorne much" he said, but am most grateful to her for giving me this opportunity of speaking to Lady Bertram."
 And why should you be grateful for thatT' murmured Claribel, with a glance of voluptuous penetration.
 Because 1t has been the object of my life that I might hay ethe oppor- tunity of conversing with one of the most gifted of women"
 'The most gifted woman, fear, can do little"
 She can do everything"

 Certainly there is much to be done said the stranger. Society Is resolv- ing itself into it's original elements. It's superficial order Is the result of habit. not of conviction. Everything is changing, and changing rapidly. Creeds disappear in a night. As for political institutions, they are all chal- ] lenged, and statesmen, conscious of what is at hand, are changing nations into armies"

CHAPTER VII.

CHAPTER VII.
 One of the most important neighbors of Mir Falconet died about this time. He was a German gentleman and lived at Lavender Hin in mansion situate in unusually ample grounds for a villa residence and approached through lodges and by roads ingeniously wind ing. MT. Hartmann was bachelor; the firm a distinguished one-Hart- mann Brothers. They were bankers to more than one European potentate, and whenever any member of the royal or imperial families paid visit to Eng land they spared one day to be enter tained at Lavender H'n with much naRnifcence; banquets and balls in colossal tents, and all the bowers and groves of Lavender resonant with mu- sicians and illumined with many lamps of many colors.
 It was understood that MT. Hart mann had died very wealthy and that the bulk of his large fortune had been beoueathed to his brother, who resided in a foreign capital It was still more interesting news when 1t began to pc rather authoritatively rumored that ID future England was to be the residence of the heir, and not only England, but Lavender HILL
 In due time architects and builders and workmen arrived at the spot, and it was said that great alterations were making there, with that disre- gard for expense which became the proprietor of means so ample. Amons other changes it was said that a H. brary had arrived from Germany, rich and rare, and which was to be housed in a new chamber becoming such treasures.
 MT. Falconet had great respect fol the house of Hartmann Brothers, anc took the earliest opportunity of per sonally paying his respects to the new conner His arrival among them wal rendered not less interesting by th' circumstance of his not being bach elor. He was a widower, but with ar only child, a daughter still in hei teens, yet already, it was understood recognized as the head of his estab lishment. The arrival of the Hart manns therefore, created no little ex citement in the Falconet family, botl among the sons and the daughters. Els pecially was there no lack of specula ton as to the character and appear Rnce of Miss Hartmann.
 The first visit was made and return ed, and the first impression of thei new neighbors on the Falconet famil! highly favorable. Mir. Hartmann wa a man singulariy calm, with an intel lectual countenancs, reserved, a littl shy perhaps, but not dull. As for hi daughter Angela, all the young ladie fell immediately in love with her, ant after having walked twice round thei own grounds with her were quite pre- pared to VOW eternal friendship. Thei brothers were less vehement, restrain -sa perhaps by their engagementa t

he glanced at the superscription. So the servant was ordered to usher in the guest, and there entered the room the same gentleman who had behaved kindly at the beginning of this history to the Indian who landed on a Sunday at the port of London.
 My first visit to your new home" said the guest "a pleasant quarter"
 T might have chosen a more pictu- resque spot, and one equally conven- ient," said Mir Hartmann, but I passed my childhood here and had a weak ness here to close my life"
 The local influences are the strong est" said his companion. Tt Is almost vain to struggle against them, though they are exceedingly mischievous. I see you have --'s new book. He has also sent me a copy"
 T do not know that there Is any thing new fin it," replied Mir Hartmann. but what is old to US is new to the world. He Is one of the few men who can write on an abstruse subject with clearness."
 They never really answer him." said the visitor.
 "So they call him a visionary" said MT. Hartmann.
 "A vlsionaryt" exclaimed his friend. 50 are you a visionary; so am I; so was Mahomet; so was Columbus. If | anything is to be really done in this world. it must be done by visionaries men who see the future, and make the future because they see 1t. What l really feared about him was that he had the weakness of believing in poli- tics, of supposing that the pessimism of the universe could be changed or even modified by human arrangements" T heard he was a Communist He might as well be Liberal or a | Conservative-mere jargon; different names for the same thing. You and l know that in attempting to terminate the misery of man. there Is only one principle to recognize, and that Is the destruction of the species You and I hold the same tenets. and we desire the same end. We differ only In our | estimate as to the time required; but that Is of no import. You think that centuries must elapse before the con- summation. I would fain believe our release and redemption were nearer but you are sedentary man, a man :. of books Action and some instinct | have taught me what you have derived from pondering on your own observa- | tions and the thoughts of others. Al
 that is happening in the world appears l to me to indicate a speedier catastro. phe. These immense armies, these new -fangled armaments-what do theS mean? In the Thirty Years War they would have depopulated Europe. Wha eommissariat can support these hosts I trust more to the disease and famine
 of campaigns than to the slaughter oi battles"
 "Remember what Condo said wher
 he lost his best troops" remarked Mr
