sale dealers on Front street, the saloon
keepers and the cigar makers became
my most intimate acquaintance, and
for three years l climbed the hills and
trod the streets of the city for hours,
during the six days of every week in
my term of office. Then, by reason of
a change in the administration, L was
graduated, and was succeeded by a
prize fighter who won his appointment
by his valuable services to his party
in the primary elections. From that

The triennial conclave IN Boston in
1895 was one of the most successful
ccnclaves ever assembled and no CITY,
except perhaps San Francisco, has
ever given itself UP so entirely TO the
entertainment of the Sir Knights and
their ladies as did the city Of Boston.
Every public building and hundreds
Of private residences were profusely
decorated in honor of the occasion.
The day of the grand march was per-

erer paraded the streets of the city
of Boston, and it was five hours in
passing a given point.

Golden Gate Commandery. No. 16. OF

finely appearing men, just in the

SUNNI Err SCHOOL.
About Seventy Teachers Have Regis
tered at Danbury.

About seventy teachers have already
registered for the summer school,
which will be held at the Danbury
normal school next month. This would
seem to indicate that the school will
be as largely attended as last year.
when there were over two hundred
teachers in attendance during the four
weeks the school was open. In con-
nection with the school this year there
will be a library school, for which
eleven pupils have already registered.
Pupils for that department must reg
lister with G. d. Hine, secretary of the
state board of education, at Hartford,
in order that the supplies for con-
Quoting the school may be provided in
sufficient quantity.

With records of thirteen of fourteen
games won in the Rhode Island inter-
scholastic league, the Hope High
school tea M Of Providence competed IN
Westerly Friday afternoon with the
Westerly High school team with rec
ord of seven of eight games in their
favor of the Interscholastic league, for
the actual championship of Rhode ISL
and high schools, and Westerly won by
d score of ) to l.
While Westerly eXcelled in all points
of the play and is a superior team to
Providence, there was Justification,
perhaps, in some of the fault finding
of the visitors with decisions of the
umpire, who evidently tried to be fair
and was simply mistaken in judgment
in a few instances. But that is one
of the factors of the game and was not
cause sufficient for the Hope pitcher
to throw his glove at the man with the
indicator. For this offense the pitcher
was put out of the game; but, rather
than disappoint the large crowd in at
tendance. he was allowed to return and
the game was played TO finish.
The local lads certainly put up a
good article OF baseball and if they do
as well in New Haven today (Satur-
day. they will bring to Westerly the
championship pennant Of the Connec-
ticut Interscholastic league.
The manager M the Hope .-am ex-
pressed regret at the display of tenn
per on the part of some of his players,
to Manager Clifford. adding that his
boys had earned a reputation for gen.
tlemanly conduct and was sorry to see
that reputation furnished in the final
game of the season.
The story of the game is best told in
the score.

leaving the room, as she probably
would have done, Margaret did not
like it. She was dying to ask him
questions about his lessons in Tartar,
and especially about his teacher and
she probably meant to cast her in
quiries in such a form as would make
it preferable to examine him alone
rather than before Mrs. Rushmore;
but he talked on and on, only pausing
an instant for the good lady's express
sions of interest or approval.
He was telling her what a prime
minister had told an ambassador
about the pope, when Margaret rose
rather abruptly.
I'm awfully sorry" she said to Mrs.
Rushmore, by way of apology, but ]
really must have little air. I've not
been out of the house all day"
Mrs. Rushmore understood, and was
not hurt, though she was sorry not to
hear more. The dear child" should
go out, by all means. Would Mons.
Logotheti stay to dinner? No? She
was sorry. She had forgotten that
she had letter to write in time for
the afternoon post. So she went of
and left the two together.
Margaret led the way out upon the
lawn, and they sat down on. garden
chairs under a big elm tree. She said
nothing while she settled herself very
deliberately, avoiding her compan-
ions eyes till she was quite ready, and
then she suddenly looked at him with
a sort of blank stare that would
have disconnected any one less SUI
perlatively self-possessed than he was.

"Potts," She Said Suddenly, and Then
Stopped.

you are quite sure that it was
your brother who was speaking, l sup
pose" she said.
ooh, yes, ma'am! 1 looked down
over the banisters, and there he was!"
Margaret had the solid health of a
great singer, and it would have been
serious trouble indeed that could
have interfered with her unbroken
and dreamless sleep during at least
eight hours; but when she closed her
eyes that night she was quite sure
that she could not have slept at all
but for Potts comforting little story
about the brother with the counter
tenor" voice. Yet even so, at the mo-
ment before waking in the morning,
she dreamt that she was at the tele-
phone again, and that words in a
strange language came to her along
the wire in a soft and caressing tone
that could only be a woman's, and
that for the first time in all her life
she knew what it was to be Jealous.
The sensation was not an agreeable
one.
The dream-voice was silent as soon
as she opened her eyes, but she had
not been awake long without realiz-
ing that she wished very much to see
Logotheti at once, and was profoundly
thankful that she had torn up her let
ter to Lady Maud. She was not pre-
pared to admit, even now, that Kon-
stantin was the ideal she should have
chosen for husband, and whom she
had been describing from imagination
when she had suddenly stopped writ
ing. But. on the other hand, the mere
thought that he had perhaps been
amusing himself in the society of an
other woman all yesterday afternoon
made her so angry that she took
refuge in trying to believe that he had
spoken the truth and that she had
really been mistaken about the voice.
1t was all very well to talk about
learning Tartar! How could she be
sure that it was not modern Greek. or
Turkish? She could not have known
the difference. Was it so very unlikely
that some charming compatriot OF his
should have come from Constantine
pie to spend a few weeks in ParisY
She remembered the mysterious house
in the Boulevard Pereire where he
lived, the beautiful upper hall where
the statue of Aphrodite stood, the
doors that would not open like other
doors, the strangely disturbing en-
caustic painting of Cleopatra in the
drawing room-many things which she
distrusted.
Besides, supposing that the language
was really Tartar-were there not
Russians who spoke it? She thought
there must be, because she had a
vague idea that all Russians were
more or less Tartars. There was
proverb about it. Moreover, to the
English as we'll as to the French, Rus
slams represent romance and wicked
ness.
She would not go to the telephone
herself, but she sent a message to Lo-
gotheti, and he came out in the cool
time of the afternoon. She thought
he had never looked so handsome and
so little exotic since she had known
him.
He was received by Mrs. Rushmore
and Margaret together. and he took
noticeable pains to make himself
agreeable to the mistress of the house.
At first Margaret was pleased at this;
but when she saw that he was doing
his best to keep Mrs. Rushmore from
