the judge pensively. will you stroll

asked. Mahany shook his head
Then let your prayers follow me,
for I'm ont" said the Judge.
Ten minutes walk brought him to
the door OF the city tavern. where he
found Mr.. Pegloe directing the activi-
ties of small colored boy who was
hopping out his bar. To him the
judge made known his needs.

Pegloe.
MY friends urge 1t. sir, and have
taken the matter under considera-
tion." answered the Judge.
We'll. the only empty house In
town is right over yonder; 1t belongs
to young Charley Norton out at
Thicket Point Plantation"
The house Mr.. Pegloe pointed out
was small frame building: it stood
directly on the street, with a narrow
porch across the front, and q shed
addition at the back The Judge scut-
tied over to It. The judges pulse
quickened. What a location, and
what fortunate chance that Mr.. Nor
ton was the owner OF this most desir-
able tenement! He must see him at
once. As he turned away to recross
the street and learn from Mr.. Pegloe
by what road Thicket Point might be
reached, Norton himself galloped into
the village. Catching sight OF the
Judge, he refined In his horse and
swung himself from the saddle.
Il was hoping, sir. might flnd
you," he said.
"A wish l should have echoed had
been aware of it," responded the
Judge. Il was about to do myself
the honor to wait upon you at your
plantation"
Then I have saved you long
walk" said Norton. He surveyed the
judge rather obviously. but listened
with kindness as he explained the
business that would have taken him
to Thicket Point.
The house Is quite at your serv-
ice. SIR" he said, at length.
The rent" began the Judge.
But Mr.. Norton. with q delicacy
equal to his own. entreated him not
to mention the rent. The house had
come to him as boot In a trade. 1t
had been occupied by . doctor and a
lawyer; these gentlemen had each de-
camped between two days, heavily In
debt at the stores and taverns, espe-
cially tho taverns- And thus hand
somely did Charley Norton acQuit
himself of the mission he had under
taken at Betty Malroy's request.
That same morning Tom Ware and
Captain Murrell were seated In the
small detached building at Belle Plain,
known as the Office, where the former
spent most Of his time when not tn
the saddle.

He was not to repeat that visit.
As Murreil approached, the hot col

lips, and his small hand clutched hers
desperately.
Murreil. with ali his hardihood,
realized that q too great confidence
had placed him In an awkward posi-
ton. for Betty turned her back on
him and began an animated CONVEX
sation with Darlington and Charley
Norton.

pushed his way to Murrelrs side.

inquired.
Murrell turned quickly with a sense

said. but his face wore . bleak look.

1T would be hard to beat that
they heard Murreli say.
AT least II would be quite possible

vancing with Hannibars rifle In his
hands.
1t was tossed to his shoulder, and
poured out its contents In a bright
stream of fame. There was mo-
ment of silence.

Judge.

Perhaps you'd like to bet a little

Large Crowd of Players in the Tour ney Yesterday and All Lowered
 the "6lind sogey" Score.

The golfers had a gala inning on the links of the Hot Springs Golf and Country club yesterday. The blind bogey tournament proved a great sue cess and attracted a field of 36 play CTS. All the contestants, with the lone exception of Dr. Milley of the Army and Navy hospital, are pleasure seekers in Hot Springs, which speaks we'll for the popularity of the hand some links on the Essex club road. Blind bogey Was fixed at 83 and c.
 Tegler of Rock Island, H., and Hector Smith and A. Bond of Pittsburg, Pa. hit it exactly. Ii. Nieland of Mime apolis, J. E. ogden of New York, Fl Fleming of Kansas City, Samuel

 Moines, Iowa, the Hon. E. Hatch, judge Of the supreme court of New York, Robert Peacock of Edinburgh. Scotland, l.. o. Bucklin of Plttsburg, A. ! Miller of Chicago. and c. L. Walter of Pittsburg, all lowered the blind 'bogey, but S3 was the mark that counted and their good playing went for naught.
 Messrs. Tegler, Hector Smith and Bond will play off their tie today. Their handicaps will remain the same. but new bogy will be drawn.
 The ladies srring tournament was also staged. It was also a blind bogey affair, Miss Elnita Strauss of New York was the winner This fair guest of the Arlington played excel lent golf and turned in a score of 54. Bogey was 57 and her score was the nearest to the mark Miss Irene Peacock and Miss Allen of Pittsburg, Pa, Miss Beacham and Miss Carter of Chicago. and the Misses Latta of Hot Springs were the other contestants.
 MT and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie and their daughter, who have been guests at the Arlington hotel for the past fortnight, motored out to the Coun- try club. The distinguished party ar rived shortly before o'clock and Mir. Carnegie, who is great lover of the splendid Scotch game and most enthusiastic player looked on while the tournament field was mak- ing the rounds. Miss Carnegie de clined to complete in the ladies' tour nament, but played few holes Now that Hot Springs is enjoying the brand of weather that made it famous MT.

PhiIIies Beat Boston.

Philadelphia won the second con secutive game in the Phillie-Bosto series at Majestic field yesterday aft erneon, taking the verdict in the ninth inning.
 The game was a veritable slugfest all the way. Boston hitters, and many there are of them, started out to putting the ball over the fence, and Gardner. Lewis, Speaker and Stahl each registered a homer for the Red, Sox, while Paskert put one over for the Phillies. Boston took a lead of one score when the game was evened up at the end of the eighth inning, but the Philadelphia sluggers went to work then, and put four scores across the plate, and won the game. There was a large crowd of fans out, and certainly much interest taken in the result Both teams have many hearty admir- CTS in the city, and the rooters were on the job in numbers.

 Five Home Runs at Majestic.

There were tall and lofty tumbling matches in the baseball line about this national resort yesterday, and incidentally about 2,50O enthusiastic fans joined heartily with a number of big major league ball stars in cele- brating return of as typical resort weather as could have been wished on a patient and long suffering public.
 Over at Majestic park, where eith- CT the fence is too close in or the bat workers have too much muscle, there were five home runs scored while the Philadelphia Nationals were defeating the Boston Americans in the second game of their series, score 15-12.
 And in Wilmington park the Pitts burg regulars were defeating the Yanigans by score of 7-6, and also there was some hitting there.
 Both winning teams took the vic tory in the last half of the ninth, which also is giving the fans a good run for their money.
