1t wasn't so much what Clarissa had
just said but the way she said it that
distressed David. 1t was so unlike the
old Clarissa. so unlike the Clarissa he
had hoped to find OF course, David
didn't expect her to show any great
regret for the man who had probably
made her life unhappy, but surely as
her husband he deserved more consid-
Grafton than Clarissa evidently felt
David was utterly at sea, and he felt
a sudden but decided unwillingness to
go any further with Clarissa until he
had had time to think things over.
Clarissa urged him to spend the after
noon with her, and, though he agreed
to return for dinner, he made an ex-
cuse of business to be attended to
in the afternoon.
Once out of the house David tried to
collect his thoughts. He had been
shocked by Clarissa's attitude. OF
course, she had never loved Wynne,
but 1t was, he thought, unnecessary
for her to admit 1t now. Thinking the
matter over, left David in greater per-
plexity and he was reaching the con-
clusion that, although Clarissa was as
charming as ever, she was not the
Clarissa he had come so far to find.
The whole matter came to conclu-
sion few minutes after his return,
when he and Clarissa were awaiting
dinner in the old library.
Those are from Mr.. Wynne's col
lection" said Clarissa, as she saw Da-
vid's eyes resting on some rare Japan
csc prints hung at one end Of the
room. HE left me all his books and
pictures. l was somewhat surprised"
David felt shock at Wynne's name
which had not been mentioned before.
Surprised, Clarissa!" he exclaimed.

had not seen each other for years. The
whole affair was so unfortunate. Per
haps l had better not talk about It,"
David saw that whatever confession
Clarissa was about to make, she was
unhappy and he took his place beside
her on the deep window-seat where
she sat.
Tell me, Clarissa,' he said gently,
the full strength of his love for her
getting the mastery of him.

RAIN STOPS PLAY.
Athletics and Giants Suspend
Hestilities for Today.
Bakers Arm Is Bandaged =
Bender Wants Victory.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1s@The four
umpires inspected the playing field at
Shibe park and left for the national
commission headquarters in an auto
mobile at 1920. AS they left the
grounds Umpire Brennan said the
game was off for the day, but that
the official announcement would have
to be made by the national commits
sion.
The national commission at 11:4O
officially declared today's game off
owing to rain. There will be a game
here tomorrow If the weather permits.
Athletics Are Disappointed.
To none more than to the worlds
champions of 1910 was the postpone
ment disappointing. Flushed with
Tuesdays victory at New York, the
fighting American leaguers. expected
to go in today's game and make it
pected to ascend the hurting mound
for another try at victory. Now that
Plank and Coombs each have a win
ming game to their credit, the Indian
is anxious to hang a scalp on his own
belt.
The Nationals who came over from
New York last night were also disap-
pointed over the prospect of idleness.
Some of the players who would talk,
however, felt that the one day layoff
might help the team.

attempt of Admiral Sab Chen Ping TO

river replied with a rain of shells, which
diverted the attention of the Wu-Chans

landing of the troops. Scattered bocles
of revOlutiOnists on both sides OF the
river joined in the fighting and by mid
forenoon it was estimated 1000 inn
perial troops and nearly 10000 repeis
were engaged.
The warships used up a large uuanti-
ty of ammunition but the effectiveness
of their fire was hampered by their
fear of endangering the foreign con
