Annesley looked vaguely across the
table at his old comrade. He had been
far away in thought. He had eaten
nothing.

'Oh, Betty found him somewhere.

The girl leaned on her lovely arms
and observed him interestedly.

he set his mind on getting something,
he never let up till he got it,"
The girl trifed thoughtfully with a
rose.

she asked, casually.
"Only scraps and the like. He went
into the reservation alone one day and
arrested a chief who had murdered a

lust A LITTLE PERSONAL.
Compliment which Was Carried to
an Embarrassing Point of
Construction.

Unfortunately for himself, Mr..
Thornwall was gifted with a phenom-
enal faculty for saying the wrong
thing at all times and in all circum-
stances. A friend of his, relates the
Youths Companion, had just intro
duced him to a rising young member
of the national house of representa-
tiyeS.
Il have often heard of you, Mr.. b.,
said Mr. Thornwall, greeting him with
the utmost cordiality. IT'S a great
pleasure to meet a congressman who
is making his mark, the more especial
ly when one considers how few there
are that are doing it. 1t must be al
most mortifying to you, sometimes,
to see what an ordinary lot of men
are sent to Washington to make the
laws for this country. Doesn't it?"
ooh, | don't know" said the Hon.
Mr.. b, with an embarrassed smile.
"Theyre not a bad lot of men"
1T stands to reason" rejoined Mr..
Thornwall, warmly, that they can't
amount to much. What man who ia
worth his salt, either in business or
professional capacity, would sacrifice
all his prospects at home and go to
Washington for the pitiful salary of
$4,000 year? Not one, sir; not one.

CHAPTER XVIII.

1AObIll.
Karloff came around to music. The
dramatist's wife should play Tosti's
Ave Maria Miss Annesley should play
the obligato on the violin and the
prima-donna should sing; but just at
present the dramatist should tell them
all about his new military play which
was to be produced in December.
Count, | beg to decline" laughed
the dramatist Il should hardly dare
to tell my plot before two such military
experts as we have here. | should be
told to write the play all over again,
and now it is too late"
Whenever Betty's glances fell on her
fathers face, the gladness in her own
was somewhat dimmed. What was
making that loved face so care-worn
the mind so listless, the attitude so
weary? But she was young; the
spirits of youth never flow long in one
direction. The repartee, brilliant and
at the same time every sting with
drawn, flashed up and down the table
like so many firefles on wet lawn in
July, and drew her irresistibly.
AS the courses came and passed, so
the conversation became less and less
general; and by the time the ices
were served the colonel had engaged
his host, and the others divided into
twos. Then coffee, liqueurs and cigars,
when the ladies rose and trailed into
the little Turkish room, where the
''distinguished-look butler" sup
piled them with the amber juice.
A dinner is a function where every
body talks and nobody eats. Some
have eaten before they come, some
wish they had, and others dare not eat
for fear of losing some of the gossip.
After the liqueurs my butler con-
cluded that his labor was done and he
offered a short prayer of thankful
ness and relief Heavens, what mad
fantastic impulses had seized him
while he was passing the soup. Sup
posing he had spilled the hot liquid
down Karloff's back, or poured out a
glass of burgundy for himself and
drained it before them all, or slapped
his late colonel on the back and asked
him the state of his liver? 1t was
maddening and he marvelled at his es-
cape. There hadn't been real mis-
hap. The colonel had only scowled at
him; he was safe. He passed secretly
from the house and hung around the
bow-window which let out on the low
balcony. The window was open, and
occasionally he could hear voice from
beyond the room, which was dark.
1t was one of those nights, those mild
November nights, to which the novel
lists of the old regime used to devote
whole page; the silvery pallor on
the landscape, the moon-mists, the
round, white, inevitable moon, the stir
ring breeZes, the murmur of the few
remaining leaves, and all that. But
these busy days we have not the time
to read nor the inclination to describe.
Suddenly upon the stiffness of the
night the splendor of a human voice
broke forth; the prima-donna was

CORCORAN is RELIEVED
GREAT STAR STEPS DOWN
Tom Corcoran of the Cincinnati Reds
Probably Has Played His Last
Game With the Team he Has Been
With SO Many Years.
Publishers Press1

Cincinnati, o., July 1.-THE next
cinnati team is the retirement of Tom
Corcoran, the oldest shortstop in the
business, and for many years the
best. Corcoran will be given a rest"
beginning Sunday. How long that
rest" will be depends on how the
new alignment works. Lobert is to go
to short field and Delhanty returns to
third base. But Mr.. Delhanty must
play ball or lose his job. That is GER
tain. The retirement of Corcoran is
like an ephoc in the history of the
Reds. Probably never before in his
many years as. a professional ball
palyer has Corcoran done such poor
work that it has been necessary to
take him out of the lineup. But one
hit in - games, and poor fielding
with an occasional almost ineXcusa-
BILE error thrown in. called for some
action. Corcoran will not be releas-
ed; at least not at once. 1t is very
likely that several clubs will propose
deal for the veteran shortstoD. who
is today one of the brainest players
in the business, if Cincinnati gives
notice that it is done with him. The
passing of Corcoran will be like the
farewell of an old and fond friend,
but it is evident that he has seen
quite all of his days in the uniform of
a Cincinnati player. Loberts work
thus far has been brilliant. His field
ing is lightning fast, his base running
good, and he has batted better than
was expected. 1t may be a flash in
the pan, but if not. and he keeps up
the gait, he is sure Of the place per
manently. Delahanty will have to
earn his right to stay. Other changes
are coming, and it is probable that in
week or two partons of the game
will hardly recognize in the team the
Reds" who looked so. good and did
so bad.
