'tftAN1e ASSOCIATION
Will HOLD To6ETHER.

Boston, May IA meeting of the
Atlantic Association of Baseball Clubs
was held yesterday afternoon in this
city. and it was decided to continue
the schedule of the league through the
entire season. The lack of interest in
the games of the organization is be-
lieved by all concerned to be only
temporary, and it was the unanimous
view Of those present that the circuit
has great possibilities and should not
be given up under any circumstances.
The cub owners are not at all in
favor of anything like quitting. Owing
to the withdrawal of one club, five
teams will play out this weeks sched-
ule. The sixth team will be added
shortly. according to President Hugh
McBreen. and by next week the reg
ular three-games-a-day schedule viii
be in operation. The games for the
week follow:
Observation-Disclosures at Newport,
Lewiston at Portland.

At once I entered the bureau of the

discovered that a card of admission

Emile Tessier, who had given his ma

at the Hotel lies Britanniques at Men

taken of his overcoat, and, carrying
1t over his arm, walked erect in nat

Avenue de la Care, across the Place
Massena, and on TO- the Promenade,
where he disappeared into the Hotel
des Anglais. He had given an incor-
rect address, and it was strange that
a first-class hotel should care to take
in man who wore such shabby trus-
ers. After 20 minutes or so I in.
quired at the bureau of the hotel, and
discovered that the stranger who had
thus aroused my curiosity was known
as Mons. Tessier, and that in the reg
lister he had inscribed himself as a
landed proprietor, living near Bay

the Helder, afterwards returning to
Monte Carlo. utterly mystified.
Next day had many affairs to at.
tend to and completely forgot the
curious incident, until about four
o'clock in the afternoon, when cough
behind me sounded familiar, and there
saw the mysterious stranger stand
ing at the right-hand roulette table
just within the entrance. Attired
gayly in suit of light gray, with a
pink carnation in his lapel, he was
watching the play intently. 1t was
strange how that cough attracted me.
l reasoned with myself. but could not
account for it. True, had only first
heard it on the previous day, yet it
now seemed curiously familiar.
From his nervous action saw that
he intended playing; therefore, in
order to watch him more intently, l
whispered word to the chef de par.

chair behind the crOupier.

emergencies, and lounged back to the
table, taking up my stand behind him
When he played also put down my
modest five-franc pieces until he dis
cerned that was following his play,
and glanced back at me inquiringly.

"Yes." he answered, with 4 laugh.
But my luck has changed. See, I've
just lost and he nodded towards a
hve-franc piece beneath the croupier's
rake. Together we turned away.
"M'sieur is to be congratulated"
said. 1T is remarked in the rooms
that he never loses"

with dry. harsh laugh. 1--WE just lost" I"
But it is only five francs, whereas

l offered him a cigarette as we
strolled up and down over the. tes-
selated pavement of the atrium, and
endeavored to obtain from him some
facts regarding himself, but to all my
artful inquiries he carefully remained
dumb. l had assumed the character
of a garrulous tourist and gabbled on
about myself; of course, telling him
fictitious story.

f'sy, ashen countenance from which
al hope and all desire seemed to have

His winnings, five thousand francs,
;Sere pushed towards him, but he
twisted the notes together and thrust
them into the outside pocket of his
Jacket with as little care as though
khey were circulars. His manner had
changed from the previous day. He
was now pale to the lips, whereas he
had been ruddy and healthy looking,
and his pallor was heightened by his
white silk cravat secured by gold
ring. Again and again he played with
lnvarying success until with sudden
resolve he transferred all his winnings

a single tive-franc piece upon the cen

of discomfort, he turned away. 1t
seemed as though, having won thou
sands of francs, he begrudged the
loss of a single silver coin.
I did not follow him, for the mys-
terry irritated me, and had already
several other important matters on
hand.
Nearly a week passed before l saw
him again. He was playing at the
table where we had first met, and his
personal appearance had considerably
improved. This time I resolved to
