count of what myself saw and did on
that night by relating briefly what
afterward learned from Fritz and from
Mme de Mauban. The story told by
the latter explained clearly how 1t hap
pened that the cry which / had arrang-
ed as stratagem and sham had
come in dreadful reality before its
time and had thus, as 1t seemed at the
moment, ruined our hopes, while in the
/! end 1t had favored them. The unhap-
py woman, fired, believe, by a gen.
uine attachment to the Duke of Strel.
sau, no less than by the dazzling pros
poets which dominion over him OPEN
ed before her eyes, had followed him
at his request from Paris to Ruritania.
He was man of strong passions, but
Of stronger will, and his cool head ruled
both. He was content to take all and
give nothing. When she arrived she
was not long In finding that she had a
rival in the Princess Flavia. Render
ed desperate, she stood at nothing
which might give or keep for her her
power over the duke. AS say, he
took and gave not. simultaneously
Antoinette found herself entangled in
his audacious schemes. Unwilling to
abandon him, bound to him by the
chains of shame and hope, she yet
would not be decoy nor at his bid
ding lure me to death; hence the let
tiers Of warning she had written.
Whether the lines she sent to Flavia
were inspired by good or bad feeling
by jealousy or by pity, do not know,
but here also she served us well. When
the duke went to Zenda she accompa.
MED him, and here for the first time
she learned the full measure Of his
cruelty and was touched with compass
sion for the unfortunate king. From
this time she was with US, yet from
what she told me I know that she still
las women wilD loved Michael and
trusted to gain his life, II not his par
don, from the king as the reward for
her assistance. His triumph she did
not desire, for she loathed his crime
and lOathed yet more fiercely what
would be the prize Of this marriage
with his cousin, Princess Flavia.

APPEAL TO CLO4HIER
TO LEAD TENNIS TEAM

NEW YORK, June S.-Concerled &C
ton is being taken by lawn tennis
players toward securing from William J.
Clothier his acceptance Of leadership OF
the American challenging international
team. While the players were in Phila-
delphia two weeks since the national
champion came out with the statement
that IL would be impossible for him TO
take a place on the team this year.
The official organ of the sport has is
sued a special appeal for Clothier to
reconsider his statement and ,oin the
American challengers. This appeal,
which is the expression of the leading
players OF the country, states that with
the national champion on the team the
chances of returning the cup win be
most encouraging. Not only is Clothier
one of the best generals OF tho courts
that this country has produced, but he
has had the experience of many visits
TO the English courts. He Is a trained
athlete, having been a track and foot
ball man while at Harvard, and he fully
understands the need Of discipline In the
team and can get the best out Of the
American players.
