Rrownino's Disappointment.

Robert Browning's great hopes for

poets disappointments was the rejec-
ton of a statue by pen" sent to the
academy in the SOS.
Though Pen Browning's statue was
rejected, two or three pictures paint.
ed in Belgium, clever in hard, real
istic technique, but very far from
beautiful, were hung at the academy.
Browning was sensitively anxious
about the reputation of these works.
On one occasion. when he was show
ing his sons pictures on studio Sum
day. he said to friend who mentally
noted the saying with its rather
strained modesty: "You see, people
expect SO much from him because he
had a clever mother" One of the pic.

when Aleck remarked upon her early

She went cheerfully about her kitch-

MI Chamberlain made several

to her when he departed. Aleck
dropped into chair and was stupid

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Spirit Of the Ancient Wood.

The Spirit Of the Ancient Wood.
Agathas first thought on awakening
late in the forenoon, was the memory
of Sallie Kingsbury coaxing her to
bed and tucking her in, in the purple
light of the early morning. She re-
membered the attention with pleasure
and gratitude, as another blessing
added to the greater one of James
Hambleton's turn toward recovery.
Sallie's act was mute testimony that
Agatha was, in truth, heir to Hercu-
les Thayer's estate, spiritual and mate
rial.
She summoned Lizzie, and while she
was dressing. laid out directions for
the day. During her short stay in
IIion, Lizzie had been diligent enough
in gathering items of Information, but
nevertheless she had remained oblivi-
Gus of any impending crisis during the
night. Her ponpadour was lnarcelled
as accurately as if she were expect
ing morning call from Mr. Straker
No rustlings of the wings of the
Angel Of Death had disturbed her
sleep. In fact. Lizzie would have
winked knowingly if his visit had
been announced to her. Her sophisti-
cation had banished such supersti-
tions. She noticed, however, that
Agatha's candles had burned to their
sockets, and inquired if Miss Red.

"Oh, what pity! Could / have

Redmond, staying up all night went

CHAPTER XVII.



Lights in country house al night
are often the signal of birth or death,
sometimes Of both. The old red house
threw it's beacon from almost every
window that night, and seemed mute
iy to defy the onslaught Of enveloping
darkness, whether Plutonic or Stygian.
Time was when Parson Thayer's Ii
brary lamp burned nightly into the lit
tie hours. and through the entertained
windows the churchyard ghosts, had
they wandered that way, could have
seen his long thin form, wrapped in a
paisley cloth dressing-gown, sitting in
the glow. He would have been read
ing some old leather-bound volume,
and would have remained for hours
almost as quiet and noiseless as the
ghosts themselves. Now he had stepped
across the threshold and joined them,
and new spirits had come to burn the
light in the old red house.
Agatha, half.dressed, had slept, and
woke feeling that the night must be
far advanced. The house was very
still, with no sound or echo of the in
days, had come from the room down
the hall. She lit candle, and the
sputtering match seemed to fill the
house with noise. Her clock indicated
a little past midnight. 1t was only
twenty minutes since she had lain
down, but she was wide awake and
refreshed. While she was pinning up
her hair in big mass on the top of
her head, she heard In the hall slow.
steady steps, firm but not heavy, even
as in daytime. Susan Stoddard did
not tiptoe.
: Agatha was at the door before she
could knock.
You had better come for few
minutes" Mrs Stoddard said. The
tones were, In themselves, an adjura-
ton to faith and fortitude.
Yes, / will come" said Agatha.
They walked together down the dimly
lighted hall, each woman in her own
way proving how strong and efficient
is the discipline of self-control.
In the sick-room screen shaded
the light from the bed, which had been
the room. Near the bed was a table
with bottles, glasses, covered pitch
or. and on the floor an oxygen tank.
Doctor Thayer's massive figure was in
the shadow close to the bed, and
Aleck Van Camp leaned over the
curved footboard. James lay on his
pillow, ghost of man, still as death
itself AS Agatha grew accustomed 10
the light, she saw that his eyes were
closed, the lips under the ragged
beard were drawn and slightly part
ed; his forehead was the pallid fore
head of death-tn.life. Neither the doc
tor nor Alesk moved or turned their
gaze from the bed as Agatha and Mrs.
Stoddard entered. The air was still.
and the profound silence without was
as a mighty reservoir for the silence
within.

NASHVILLE, June 24.-After over

cured Rafael Almeida, the fast going
third sacker of the Cincinnati Reds,
for the Nashville club. The president
returned last night from Akron and
Cincinnati Ohio, where he has been
for the past week on business for the
club and his firm.
Almeida is expected to report in the
next few days and It is understood
that he will be placed on third. Per
ry will probably go to second in Kit
ty" Goalby's place. Goalby Will prob
ably be benched for the present. In
case Almeida can not report, Dodge,
another third sacker on the Reds, will
come to Nashville. Joe Tinker, man
ager of the Reds, stated to President
Hirsig that either Almeida or Dodge
would be sent to Nashville, but that
in all probability Almeida would be
the one TO come.

with Brooklyn that, like the we'll
made violin, the work of the real
artist, and one of the favorite prod
ucts of Kentucky, he improves with
age. Christopher Mathewson pitched
Just 20 balls to show that the Dodg-
ers were beatable.
The art lay in Matty's making the
Brooklyns hit to the felders. The one
run he permitted Brooklyn to make
never should have happened. He
made a Dodger hit a fly. A fielder
muffed the ball and a runner reached
shird base. No attempt TO stop the
tally was made on the next batter,
the Giants, with a safe advantage,
having decided to put out the last
three invaders as quickly as possible.
