 City league managers will meet this evening at half past eight.
 Lachance showed them up in Hart- ford Saturday how the first bag should be played.
 Nehring of Hartford, cracked up as the star first baseman of the league, lost his nerve when he saw the big Waterbury guardian of that sack, play rings all around him.
 New London will be here for the first time tomorrow and Sam Ken. nedy and his Whalers will be given a warm welcome. Last season Sam used to take great delight in de. feating Waterbury at every oppor. tunity and he will try to do the same tomorrow.
 Waterbury is going along all right even though the players did have to practice with overcoats and mittena, The other teams have sent out dan. ger signals to hold the Brass City bunch back or they may make a run away race of 1t.
 VIII someone please explain why Conny Danaher remains in baseball and makes no special effort to en. thuse the people of New Havenf Perhaps he still has that little grudge up his sleeve for Jim O'Rourke and delights in keeping the best city in the league in the back ground.
 Strayer. who was released by We terbury will be given a tryout by Hartford. He will join the team at Bridgeport tomorrow.
 Connie Mack is scouting for pitch. srs. He has his eye on Ford of Will Jams College.
 The rear end teams of both leagues Ire trailing far behind the leaders. md the races are too much of a pro- ,ession.

CHAPTER XIV.


The sun was up, very red and bold. as
we passed through Zurich; and where it
touched the great lake. the waters shone
scarlet as blood under the santing rays.
Before us the Alps were heaying upward,
growing mightier every hour, with the
pinnacles of their strange frost kingdoms
blushing in the early sunshine. BY eleven
O'Clock we had left the open country,
passing into Il labyrinth of valleys,
crowned with pines, waiting black and
silent on their snow carpets, scored with
torrents and patched with frozen taFos.
Coire was reached by half-past one, and
the narrow gauge of the Thusis line car
ried us through meadows and brushwood
morasses until we crossed the upper
Rhine and drew into the station which
Is set under the cliff bastions, outworks
of the Alp citadels beyond.
1t was then three of the clock. There
were still forty miles left of om journey
"a ten hours drive over the passes TO
the distant Engadine.
A carriage with three horses was walt
Ing 10 our order without the station.
We entered 1t at once, and the driver
swung his team into the Tiefenkastell
road. Fifty francs from Graden had i'm
pressed him with the necessity for haste.
Yet our progress was insufferably tedi-
Gus. Once across the bridge we dropped
into walk, while our straning team
tugged heavily up the pass of Schyn.
To our left the ridge barred the view; but
on the right, narrow valleys sliced deep
into the glittering heights above gave MS
sight of the stately peaks that senti-
nelled the eastern sky. In an hour we
had entered the forest of Versasca--for
such, | have learned. is its name-and
so climbed on through the dismal ave
nues Of Snes till we passed through gal
leries ana tunnels, hewn deep in the cliff
side, out into the barren snow fields once
again.
The sun was setting as we ratified over
the pavement of the hill village of Tief
enkastell, that crouched In the shadows
of the Albula Gorge. The dying rays
struck fercely on the distant peaks, un
til those pale Ice maidens found rosy
bushes for such reckless gallantry. i

PRIVILEGED TRAVELLERS.

Danish Roads Compelled to Garry
"Deadheads" PerpetualIy.
The town of Lauenburg, In Schleswig-
Holstein, enjoys a privilege which Is
probably unique In the world-that of
free transit by rail to and from the
neighboring town Of Buchen. AS the in
habitants number about $500 and the
distance is about nine miles, the costli-
ness of the privilege to the railway
companies is great
The queer exemption, according to
the London Globe, dates from 1871,
when the Berlin-Hamburg line was
built The Lauenburgers made great
sacrifices to secure that the line should
touch their town. but the physical difH-
culties were so great that the engineers
abandoned the idea and took 1t through
Buchen, to which town the Danish gov
eminent afterward constructed
branch from Lauenburg. giving to the
Lauenburgers in perpetuity the right Of
free transit for themselves and their
baggage.
The Prussian railway Administrations
has several times tried to rid itself OF
this burden, but the courts have always
upheld the right Quite recently
Lauenburg choral society, made to pay
their fares to Mecklexburg have ap-
pealed and the courts have ordered the
deduction of the Buchen portion.

My father and l. with Reski. the man
that Sir Henry had summoned from Po-
land, arrived in the Engadine without
any incident that is worthy of descrip-
ton. We had engaged rooms in the prin.
cipal hotel under the name of Jackson, as
had been suggested. My father stood
the journey very well. But this neces-
sity for giving a false name annoyed
him extremely. 1t was the first time in
his life that he had done so, he said, and
l had some difficulty in persuading him
not TO confess the whole circumstances
to the manager on the day after our ar
rival.

We are coming at onre.-Graden."
