CHAPTER XXI.
| Return TO France.

7 DECIDED at all costs that I would
take a trip to Paris. Ny de-
cisiOn was irrevCcable. Neither
the arguments O. Mr.. Teck nor
the absurd fears Of my secretary,
John Fellowes. could make me alter
my mind.
You are rash to do So" said the
lawyer. You are risklng your pres
ent high position. Dr. Kingsley only
asks you 10 stay mere quietly as you
have been doing for the last two
years"
1T is all right, Mr.. Teck," I said.
Things have changed, and am go

America I had become too practical
for that sort Of thing.
The preparations TOr my Jouy y
were soon made, and I sailed cor
France with the sole object o. max
ing a pleasure trip as any Pre- porous
business man might do.
BY a simple matter Of chance I
sailed on the TOuralne, the same boat
which I had come across with my
partner, Lucie We'll, and my son,
PolydOre. As a whim, 1 occupied the
same staterOOm I had before.
As soon as 1 was on the boat my
mind reverted TO my previous trip.
l saw again the scene on that starry
night In midOcean. I saw POlydOre
standing beside Lucie, who I thought
had been murdered by Kingsley. Then
saw the millionaire and heard his
loud voice rising above the noise OF
the pillows.
Then I heard my sons rough voice as
he drew aside the curtain in my state
room:

They were Of the past! I was the only

SCHAEFER TAUGHT
BY MORNINGSTAR

ingstar, the former champion balkline
billiardist, has taken young Jake
Schaefer under his wing, and expects
that he will soon have the lad in such
form as will warrant his being matched
against the best players.
Morningstar says that the boy has
wonderful natural ability, and that
when he has the rough edges brushed
of his style he win develop into a title
holder.
Young Schaefer, in a match recently
against II. \. Wright, san Francisco,
amateur champion several years back,

FOGEL ORIGINATOR
Of DISPUTED DEAL
Hermann Declares He Can
Prove That PhillieS' Presi-
dent Started Things.

CHICAGO. Oct S1.-August Herr
mann, chairman of the national com
mission and president of the Cincinnati
baseball club, was the guest OF the
Elks at their banquet here last night
Naturally it was the trade between
Cincinnati and Philadelphia that inter
ested the baseball fans and Mr. Herr
mann claimed that Horace Fogle's stand
in the premises was ridiculous.
The fact that President Lynch Of the
National League had promulgated the
releases Of Fred L Beebe, John r. Lo-
bert, George II. Paskert, and John A.
Rowan from Cincinnati to Philadelphia
emphasizes the contention that the deal
Will go through. that Grant Bates, Nc
QUillen, and Moren will wear Red uni
forms next season.
Garry Has Proof.
How Fogel can back out OF the deal
Is more than 1 can figure out" said
Mr.. Hermann. 4 have proof, in the
form Of letters signed by himself, that
the idea of the trade practically origi-
mated with Mr.. Fogel, and that he was
at one time willing it should be pulled
off.
1T was plain that Mr- FOgel was anX-
ious TO make a deal Of some sort. In
some Of his plans few of the players
concerned in the present deal were to
be traded and others also he wanted to
exchange. However, no definite plans
were made until Managers Doom and
Griffith met TO make a trade
THE way Mr.. Griffith and myself un-
derstOod IL was that Doom had been
given full power TO make whatever trade
he pleased by President Fogel, and that
whatever Doom did would be all right
with the head Of the club
Considered Binding.
The trade that is now the center Of
this controversy was agreed upon by
Doom and Griffith and reduced TO writ
ing. 1t was considered by all parties as
a binding one On the strength Of it 1
told my players they were the property
of the Philadelphia club and made out
contracts for them.
Then I'D comes Mr. FOgel and saws
the deal cannot be pulled through be-
cause Doom has acted without consult
ing him. In view Of the correspondence
with me, and which / now have in my
possession, this stand on Nj. FOgel's
part is pretty ridiculous.
Those four Philadelphia players will
be members Of my team next year.
There is no way that Mr.. FOgel or any
one else can block the deal. Fogel con-
sented TO II long before Doom signed
the papers and have documents in my
possession which prove it,"

SOMERS VILLAGE
The Hamlet of Harvey Birch, of Cooper's "Spy"
and Other Famous Characters.

In the early part of the last century Somers
Village, Somerstown Plain, as it was then
called where the two roads to the Hudson
river branched off, one to Sing Sing and the
other to Peekskill, was busy place. with
three hotels three stores, newspaper the
Somers museum hat shops and other indus
tries.
Hackaliah Bailey built and conducted the
Elephant hotel, substantial three-story brick
structure, which is in good repair to-day. In
front of it stands a granite shaft, on the top of
which is a model of the first elephant brought
to this country, "Old Bet" Mr.. Bailey bought
the elephant of his brother, who was captain
of sailing vessel Securing partner, he put
them on the road, travelling from place to
place at night and showing in barns in the
daytime.
Not hearing from them in some time, Mr..
Bailey started on horseback to look them up.
Finding the elephant and man near Boston and
asking for an accounting, he was told that the
show did not make any money. Then said Mr..
Bailey, 81 will shoot my half and you can do
what you like with your half" -.
From this small beginning the menagerie
business grew to large proportions under the
management of the Cranes, Baileys, Junes, An
gevenes and Tituses, all residents Of Somers
or South Salem. The long barn on the Gerard
Crane farm was built to house the animals in
winter.

GREAT DANE A HERO
Prince, Giant Canine, Saves

Orags Dog from Street Car Tracks
and Carries Him to Doctor for
Treatment-His Second
Rescue,

l:hlcago.-Prince, a great Dane dog,
may take his place among the best

and suffered injury recently to save
a fluffy little poodle from being run
over by street car.
And, cut and bruised though he was,

Prince has saved dog lives before.
His master is Leo G. Klein, GAO North
Clark street. Prince takes long strolls
ABOUT Chicago but his place is usually
on guard at his masters door, where
ne can watch the world in action.
He was doing sentry duty, leaving
Tor romp in the slush and snow, now
and then, when his chance to prove
his courage came.
A poodle, quite too aristocratic to
be walking the tracks in Clark street,
danced about in the street. Cars
were passing north and south. Bells
changed, horses stumbled, drivers
shouted and policemen tried to order
the traffic so that human beings could
cross the streets in safety.
No one noticed the frisky little
poodle. He did not seem to care much
about the rumpus around him. He
was evidently a runaway from some
petting Mistress out for lark.
Swiftly street car bore down on
him. 1t came from the north and
swept up behind him. The poodle was
gayly prancing while Prince sat quiet
ly at attention 20 yards away.
Prince knew that motormen do not
ring for dogs. He knew the danger.
Ordinarily he has little respect for
poodles, for they can neither run nor
fight They are only pets, despised
little pretty things, toy dogs.
Like an arrow Prince shot from his
post. Between couples, against pedes-

sprang. He made the 20 yeards in an

nothing to be desired, unless it be his over

English methods, the non-commissioned off,
GERS have power to hit man for slackness,
stupidity or non-obedience of orders whereas
one soldier striking another is most severely
dealt with, especially as spaniards invariably
fight 1t OUT with the knife
The officers keen and well informed
and their care for the mems comfort is not
able Here is an example: We had just re-
turned from convoy duty and on returning to
camp were glad to find an excellent cold SOUP
prepared with oil, water, vinegar and vege-
tables. The officers of each company stood
around seeing that the men got their due por-
ton, first having tasted it to assure themselves
of the quality Of the food
Some of the Spanish methods in the field
are unusual. The firing line, for instance
starts with rifle a yard, but the advance, in
stead of being conducted in line follows this
plan: Each squad of six to 10 men under a
corporal, on the signal to advance being given
wheels around and doubles toward the next
cover in Indian file, extending into line as the
cover is reached; in this way the whole line
may advance simultaneously, or squad by
squad, the advantage claimed being the small
ness of target offered to the enemy during the
rush forward.
AS by force of experience we learned in
South Africa the absolute necessity of using

few fights, in which the losses were SO alto

man, himself alarmed by the unusual
sight, threw on the air and slowed
down the car
on the nape of the poodle's neck. The
two rolled until Prince rolled onto his
feet. He limped as he took few steps.
He raised his head, looked back at his
masters front door, and then started
across the street. The crowd was
watching by this time. They saw the
big Dane carry the whimpering bum
die of slush-covered white down to
the corner of Ontario and Clark.
He entered the corner store, the
Malone drug store-laid the poodle on
the floor and sat back. Wines and
barks brought the clerks to him. They
saw the Dane nosing the poodle, who
lay on his side, with one leg in the air,

growled his dislike, took the poodle
