Plenty of them, sir. and all ready

AS the butler went of to attend to
tn csc orders, Gormly re-entered the
room and found the whole party COM
fortably gathered about the fire. He
explained that he had found a worl-
an on the place, the lodgekeeper's
wife; that he had sent the station
wagon for her; and that she would be
present doubtless within a half hour
with such indispensable articles Of al
tire as might serve to make the wom-
en- guests at least comfortable.
"If you were only in communication
with your shop, Mr.. Gormly," said Mrs.
Haldane-and whether she meant to
be offensive or not. Gormly could not
tell-"we would lack nothing"
81 am sorry for your sake, madam.
that am not. As 1t is. we shall have
to do our best with the limited re-
sources at hand"
Conversation ran on desultorily this
way for a short time, when the butler
announced the arrival u Mrs Bullen.
As he did 30, the tan clock unsteady
chimed out the hour OF nine.
Now that your woman Is here, Mr..
Gormly," said Mrs. Haldane, rising.
"as l am somewhat fatigued from the
ride and the experience, / shall retire
to my room. suppose you young
people won't think of going to bed

"An excellent idea," returned Hal

don't care much for bridge at best"
Good night" said Mrs Haldane,
moving away, escorted by the butler,
and met outside presently by Mrs.
Bullen
"Mr Gormly and I will watch your
game" said Eleanor.
by the way, Eleanor, may | ask
where you met Mr.. Gormly?" queried
her father.
"He is very much interested in our
social settlement work. Many of his
employees live In the vicinity of the
new settlement house we are building,
and | have had occasion to consult
him at his office a great many times"
"Ah," said the elder man reflective
ly, wondering how much might be be-
hind that entirely innocent statement.
Meanwhile a footman arranged a
card table, at which the quartet took
their places and instantly became abb
sorbed in the game. Miss Haldane
manifested no special interest in the
play, and at Gormly's suggestion she
left the hall and went with him into
the inviting little library through the
broad open doors that gave access to
1t from the hall. Another fire was
burning there. He drew low chair
before 1t in which she sat down. He
himself stood with his arm resting on
the mantel, looking down on her.
Tie two were In plain sight from
the bridge table; but as they talked in
low tones their conversation was in
audible in the hall Haldane glanced
curiously and uneasily at them from
time to time; but finally, becoming
absorbed in his game, paid them no
further notice.

SELMA RETURNS
 FROM SUCCESSFUL
 TRIP ON THE ROAD

Selma, May 14-(Special. )-The Selma club of the Southeastern league returned home today from a successful trip to An niston, and on Monday will open on the home diamond at Riverside park for six games with/ Rome and Huntsville. For lowing the week at home the Selma club will leave for nine games in Huntsville Rsfle and Gadsden.
 f It is expected that all six of the games on the local diamond next week will be witnessed by large crowds. Rome and Selma are old baseball enemies, both cities several years ago having splendid semi professional teams. The baseball feel ings of those days have not died out yet, and Is sure to attract a large crowd to witness the first three games of the week, which will be played with the Romans. On account of the good ball which the Huntsville club has been play ing it is expected that large crowds will also witness those three games.
 The Selma fans are highly pleased with the showing which the home club has made during the first week of the season of the Southeastern league. The club Is now in good condition and seems to be working in midsummer form, and 1t is confidently expected 1t will win four of the six games on the local diamond next week.

A NEW WAY ID
 BEAT A BROKER

1 New York, May 14.-(Special,)-W
 street has learned with surprise that
 there is a new way to beat a broker and get away with the money without being criminaIly guilty under the law The new
 method is simple. flor all that is neees- | sary is to be partner of broker, ar | range to be intrusted with the banking of the firms money and then take as much as you want and fade away. There can be no arrest for the co-partnership laws will take care of that.
 It remained for Ernest E. Galloway to discover this means to beat the Wall street game. Galloway for several years had been confidential member of the ton brokers.
 Caloways mode of procedure was a simple one, according to MT. Freeman.
 Galloway had charge of the banking end of our business and as such could draw on our accounts as he liked'' said MT. Freeman, He would draw the money out of one mank and then charge it up as having been deposited with a bank or trust company, where he had no ac-
 count, Galloway came to us about six years ago. He is 32 years of age. He has been on the street for the past f16 years and was looked upon as one of the most promising young men in finan- cial circles. He was transfer clerk in J. P. Morgan's office and he had wide circle of friends when we brought him | here and made him a member of the | firm. | Even my attorneys do not know wheth- | CT there is any redress for us. We have | not called in the police and have mere | ly posted Galloway on the Cotton Ex- | change as the rules require. The part
 nership law is a complex one, and it I looks as if our only redress will be in l civil suit"
 An investigation into his way of liv- | ing and habits have inclined his asso- | cates to believe instead of wasting money I doing the White Way Galloway merely | banked it and when. fearing discovery, | he got ready to, go, he just drew the money and slipped away.

GREENVILLE WILL
 HAVE BASEBALL

Greenville, May 15-(Special.) )-The open- ing game of the season in Greenville will begin on Tuesday at 3:30 at the ball park. The town will turn out en masse to see the game which will be the first of a series of three with the Deacon Browns of Montgomery. The first ball will be tossed by Mayor o. A. Lane, and then the game will be on in full force.
 Greenville has a strong team with many of last years stars back again. Many of the players have been trying out with the league teams and have thus gained valuable experience which they are bring ing back to add to this team. The team for the past month has been hard at work, and is now in splendid trim As yet no captain has been elected, though when the team meets again one of the provisional captains, Winfred Hawkins and Max Porterfield, will be made the per- manent captain for this season.
 The ball park has been almost complete ly remodeled and the fences and ap- breaches have been strengthened At the suggestion of a daughter of one of the magnates the number of steps in the grandstand leading to the seats have been doubled for the convenience of the ladies with the hobble-skirt.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 IRON AND STEEL

New York, May 14.-The most encour- aging developments in the steel trade last week were the placing of larger con- tracts for rails and structural shapes. New orders for heavy material since May have more than compensated for the falling off in the volume of business in light products and it Is expected that activities of the mills will be increased steadily from the low point touched Mon- day. Contracts for rails aggregated about 600 tons for domestic roads while con- tracts now pending aggregate 75000 tons.
 Car and locomotive orders were small, but bids were called on 5000 additional cars and 150 locomotives Car shops placed orders for about 20,OOO tons of plates and shipyards ordered 75oO tons. Bridge or ders were still light.
 Numerous inquiries are coming from manufa curing plants or from the build ing trade generally which bid fair to give the structural mills all the work they can take care of for several months. Fabricated structural contracts last week aggregated 40,000 tons.
 The main feature of interest in pig iron was the placing of contracts for 60,0o0 tons of Alabama foundry grades by pipe works Total contracts In all districts aggregated about 100000 tons.

May 14.-(Special)-If the Standardization series, three games at Selma and 1sgee at Anniston. have shown anything in Regard to the two teams. that one thing is that Selma's strength is at the bat and Anniston's weakness is at the very same point.
