Sunday afternoon last, like tramp

the classical one of to 0. Up to the
fifth inning neither side circled the
sacks, but in their half of that inning
the locals grabbed FIVE runs. They got
another in the seventh and three in the
eighth, Briggs pitched his first game
for the season and proved invincible,
allowing only three hits. The visitors
got as far as second base and there on

cleanly and were gentlemanly bunch
of players.
AS was to be expected the Gophers

of colored gentlemen, lead the Cashton
nine all the way to the tape in game

day. The score was to ! in favor of
the "duskies The gopher pitcher
took life easy and let the rest of the
team do the ''hurry-up" act and the
manner in which they felded the sphere

en- mob for the people of its scene
and these devils upon their little
horses for the chief actors. When the
troopers fell land from time to time

slaughter; a carnival Of whips cutting
deep into soft white flesh and drawing
from their victims cries SO awful that
they might have risen UP from hell It,
self.
And in this crowd, among this peo-
pie perhaps, little Lois Boriskoff must
be looked for. Her friends would be
the peoples friend. Hayward as she

did not believe that she would re,

CHAPTER XIX.
The Plot Has Failed,

The Russian appeared to be a young
man, some thirty years Of age per-
haps. His dress was after the French
fashion. He wore shirt was a soft
embroidered front and tousled black
cravat which added a shade of pail ii
to his unusually pale face When hi
spoke in the German tongue, his voice
had a pleasant musical ring, even
while 1t narrated the story of his
friends misfortune.
We have failed mein Herr" he
said Il come to you with grievous
news. We have failed and there Is
not an hour TO lose"
Gessner heard him with that self,
mastery to which his whole life had
trained him. Betraying no sign OF
emotion whatever, he pulled chail
toward the light and invited the
stranger to take 1t.
"This is my young kinsman," de
said, introducing Alban who still
fingered in the garden; you have
heard of him, Count" And then to
Alban, Let me. present you to my
very old friend, Count zamoyski He
Is cavalry soldier, Alban, and there
Is no finer rider in Europe"
Alban took the outstretched hand
and, having exchanged word with
the stranger, would have left the place
instantly. This. however, Count
Zamoyski himself forbade Speaking
rapidly to Gessner in the German
tongue, he turned to the lad presently
and asked him to remain.
Young heads are wise heads some
times" he said in excellent English
you may be able to help us Mr.. Ken
nedy Please wait until we have dis
cussed the matter little more fully
To this the banker assented by 8
single inclination of his head.
AS you say, Count-we shall know
presently, Please tell me the story
from the beginning"
The Count lighted cigarette, an;
sinking down into the depths Of 4
monstrous armchair, he began ,c

told almost In whispers! for thus com
placently, as the great Frenchman has
reminded us, do we bear the misfor

CHAPTER Xxx.
Alban Goes to Warsaw.


Alban had never been abroad, and 1t
would have been difficult for him 10
give any good account of his journey
scenes, the new countries, the uproar
and strife Of cities, the glamour of the
sea, put upon his ripe Imagination
SO heavy burden that he lived as one
apart, almost as a dreamer who hal
forgotten how to dream. If he carried
an abiding impression it was that OF
the miracle of travel ant the wonders
that travel could work. In twenty
hours he had almost forgotten the ex-
istence of the England he had left.
Chains OF bondage fell from his will
ing shoulders. He left as one released
from prison house to all the free
dom of a boundless world,
And SO at last he came to the
beautiful city of Warsaw and his
sterner task began Here, as in Lon
don, that pleasant person Count
Serguis zamoyski reminded him how
| considerable was the service he could
confer, not alone upon his patron but
upon the friends of his evil days.
| 1T has all been a mistake" the
Count would say with fine protesta-
ticn of regret my government ar
rested that poor old fellow Boriskoff,
but it would gladly let him go. To
begin, however we must have pledges.
You know perfectly well that the man
| Is fanatic and will work a great
mischief unless some saner head pre-
vents it, We must find his daughter
and see that she promises to hold
| her tongue concerning our friend at
Hampstead. When that is done, we
shall pack off the pair to London and
they will carry a good round sum in
| their pockets. Herr Gessner Is not
the man to aeal ungenerously with
| them-nor with you to whom he may
owe so mucl."
He was shrewd man of the world,
this amiable diplomat. and who can
wonder that SO simple a youth as
Alban Kennedy proved no match for
him. Alban honestly believed that he
would be helping both Gessner and
his old friends, the Boriskoffs, should
he discover little Lois whereabouts
and take her back to London. A very
natural longing to zee her once more
added to the excitement of the
journey. He would not have been
willing to confess this interest, but
1t prompted hi msecretly so that he
was often reminding himself of the
old days when Lois had been his daily
companion and their mutual conf
dences kad been their mutual pleasura
Just as knight-errant of the old time
might set out to seek his mistress, Sc
did Alban go to Warsaw determined
to success. He would find Lois il
this whirling wonderland of delight
and, finding her, would return
triumphantly to their home.
Now they arrived in Warsaw upor

NOEL WANTS TO
RUN FOR CONGRESS
Not Likely That Present Re
publican Senator Will Accept
Another Nomination.
Especial to The Times-Dispatch.


I GATE CITY, VA, July lo.-The Re-
puhlicans of the Second Senatorial
District. composed of the counties OF
Lee. Scott and Wise, have called a con-
vention to meet at Big stone Gap Au-
gust 10th for the purpose of nominate
ing candidate for the Senate. 1t
seems to be the impression here that
Senator John c. Noel will not stand for
denomination. as he is believed to be
looking forward TO the congressional
nomination next year There Is some
talk that Commonwealth's Attorney j..
Frank Sergent, of Scott county may
be the nominee. If 1t is not Mr.. Noel
or Mr.. Sargent, it is most likely the
nominee will come from Wise county
The Republicans Of Wise county
have made their county nominations
by primary. and there seems to be
considerable dissatisfaction and talk
of independent Republican capdidates
OF course, they viii whip most of
their men back into line, yet this spirit
fof dissatisfaction will materially weak

not probable c. S. Pendleton Will have
any opposition for denomination for
cousin to the present Democratic
sheriff, will proba bly, be nominated fo-
sheriff without-opposition although It
Is known that there are several Re-
publicans who think the party is under
obligations to nominate them for the
Office. There is warm fight on for
the Republican nomination for county
treasurer. Those who have announced
for the office are w. ". Ramey, w l..
Rollins and A. 7. Peterson. There are
other aspirants.
