When the Doors Parted.

What Immediately followed must
have occupied second or two at
most. Yet it seemed to me that for
many minutes | sat mute and notion
less, staring a. the leveled weapon
and at the rude black mask behind IL;
for my brain was superactive and my
thoughts were racing.
Instantly | comprehended all that
had happened, and the situation, eli
making in our peril was as clear TO
me as though | had witnessed the
whole chain of events from inception
TO final execution. The assassination
OF Ling Fo was 10 be succeeded by the
abduction, perhaps the murder, Of Eve
lyn and myself. Already while We
were conversing with Miss Clement
our driver had been spirited from the
box and one OF the enemy mounted in
his place. In the rush Of my review
! recalled that in hurrying Evelyn into
the brougham, anxious TO be started
and away, had not cast even so much
as a glance towards the man in front.
Al first. in our absorption. and later
behind lowered silken shades, We had
made no effort TO trace our course.
Hence our present location was mad
dening,y unguessable. We might be
far on the East side or far on tho
West. or we might merely have circled
back TO within a block or less OF the
Mission from which We started
All this. say, flashed through my
brain with uncomfortable swiftness as

barrel and the masked face Of the
shadowy. sinister creature that held Il.
All this, and more. For In that brief
space considered one possible course
of action after another, cropping des.
perately for a plan OF rescue and es-
cape.
In that passing second or two there
had been no scund--no word from him
at the door; no whisper even from her
At my side, who. like myself. sat dumb
and inert. stricken to stone by the sud
denness OF the attack. But for a sec.
ond or two only this silence and In

That which ensued was coincident.

BEWARE OF MEASLES!
A Dangerous Disease and Plenty Of it
in Town.

City Health Officer DR.. William
Sellman Welch, has issued a warning
about the prevalence of measles
among children and also re Iuesting
the cessation of visits where measles
prevails in the home.
The epidemic Of measles is grow
ing alarming, and it is serious and
a dangerous disease. Measles cause
more deaths than scarlet fever and
diphtheria combined and have more
serious after-affects. Several deaths
from the disease have been reported
up to date. The department, be
pointed out, could do little, as the
prevention of spread Of the disease
depended upon the individual parents
Measles is a dangerous disease,
and much of it is spread through the
schools, but 1t would be folly to close
them. Parents should see to it that
their children are well before permit
ting them to attend school. Parents
should also isolate children who have
the disease. 1t might be hardship
to do so, but measles is highly con.
tagious and should be handled with
care.

CADETS CLINCR STATE
BASKETBALL TITLE
ST. Johns Boys Down LOyOla in
Hard Fought Contest.
LOSERS MADE PlUCKY FIGHT.
Spirited Work Of Both Teams Con-
tributsd to Rcughuess and Dis
qualification Of One Player.

In one of the hardest and most
spiritedly contested games that has
ever been played in Annapolis, the
baseball team of st. Johns College
defeated the Eve of Loyols College,
of Baltimore, by 2s to Is.
1t was the stcOnd victory OF the
local Collegians over the Baltimore
ans, and it thereby gives them a clear
title to the State championship for
the year. st. Johns also is in fair
way to clinch the inte rollegiate cham
pionship. TINS will depend upon the
outcome of the game with the Mary
la I'd Agricultural College, the cadets
having previously defeated Wash
ington College.
Last nights game was a slap and a
bang, and rough and tumble affair,
necessarily so because of the spirited
manner in which the teams fought
from the start to the final whistle.
In fact the ruggedness of the en-
gagement gave little chance for
smooth team work. Players of both
teams got frequent hard knocks and
f4lls as result of the many mixups
Referee Krantz was kept on the jump
all the time. but he was keenly alive
to every mispldy and was quick to
inflict penalties. As a result Of one
of the melees he was compelled to
disqualify Thompson, of ST John s
for undue roughness.
The score of 16 to is at the end
of the first half is sufficient indication
of how well matched the teams ap-
peared to be. The one point favored
the local Collegians. And the second
half was well under way before the
cadets managed to forge to the front
by more than t so points.
Without detractiug from the splen-
did game played by the visitors, yet
the st. Johns boys did not play to
their usual standard, either in team
work, or in accuracy in shooting for
the basket. Even Welch, the old re-
liable, in tossing from the foul mark,
missed number Of chances.
Wilson, Clayton and Mellon played
we'll together for st. John's The
same was true with Cook and Scheu-
rich, for Loyola, though the former
was rather inaccurate in his tries for
the basket, Cooks excellent drib-
bling, however, was a feature.

MARBURY OUT FOR SENATE.
Baltimore Lawyer Announces Caadi-
dacy for Long Term Against
John Walter Smith.

The climax of the developments in
the Senatorial situation that started
with the announce nent that Presi-
dent-elect Wilson is opposed to the
reelection of John Walter Smith, and
had urged his friends to centre their
forces, behind a man who genuinely
represents and believes il the princi
Piles of the progressive Democracy,
came last night when William l..
Marbury, of Baltimore, made the
definite announcement of his candi-
dacy for the long-term Senatorship.
Mr.. Marbury was staunch support
er of Blair Lee in the primary fight
for Governor in 1912. The Marbury
announcement came alter Joshua w.
Miles, of Somerset county, had issued
statement in the afternoon that he
would not be candidate and declar-
ng for Mr. Marbury.
The bis significance of the Mar
bury declaration lies in the fact that
he enters the field practically at the
solicitation of the President. elect of
the United States, who regards the
situation in Maryland as vital enough
to compel his open advocacy of a
candidate even at the risk of its rep
resentation of his attitude and mi sin.
depreciation of his motive.
1t means that the President-elect
regards Mr.. Marbury as typifying and
representing the right sort of Democ-
racy and wants his friends to support
him, and that be regards Senator
Smith as typifying and repre- senting
the wrong kind of Democracy and
the kind to which he is unalterably
opposed.
That this is exactly Mr.. Wilson'S
attitude there is not the slightes st
doubt. He has made this plain 10
Mr. Marbury and tc other Democrats
who have visited him recently. 1t is
also made plain in Mr.. Marbury &
statement made last night. In this
Mr.. Marbury makes no attempt to
formulate platform or elaborately
| present his position.
la characteristic, Straightforward
scyle he answered question as to
his intention, CAV his reasons fol
making the fight and outlined the
kind of campaign he proposes tc
| make.

CABINET PORTFOLIOS
PRACTICALLY SETTLED
Four "Certainties" and Two Prob
abilities" Are Announced.
BRYAN FOR SEC. OF STATE.
And Jassphus Daniels Will be New
Secretary Of Navy According to
Authoritative Statement.

Speculation as to the personnel of
President-elect Wilson's cabinet has.
10 a large extent, been set at rest by
an announcement made by ole high
in Congressional circles in Washing
ton last night, in which. four practi-
cally positive selections and two
strong probabilities, are given.
Here are those placed as positive :
Secretary of State--Willia.n j.
Bryan, Nebraska.
Secretary of the Treasury--Will-
lam G. McAdoo, New York.
Secretary of the Navy--Josephus
Daniels, North Carolina.
Postmaster -General--Albert Sidney
Burleston, Texas.
Another informant, who felt that
he could speak with authority, made
these two additions:
Attorney General Chancellor Ed
win r. Walker.
Secretary of Commerce.-Louis d.
Brandeis.
Bryan, Daniels, Burleson and Wal
ker are regarded as "certainties, :"
while the other two are labeled prob
abilities Beyond those six port
folios no one was willing to predict.
One place was settled beyond doubt
when preventative Burle son issued
statement that he will not seek a
e-electi on as chairman of the Demo
cratic caucus, and Representative o.
car w. Underwood majority leader,
announced that he and his friends will
ask the Democrats to elect Represen-
tative A. Mitchell Palmer, of Penn
sylvania, to succeed Mr.. Burleson.
1t was established to the satisfac-
tion of all the leaders that Mr.. Bur-
Lesson will not seek reelection be-
cause he has heen rendered and has
accepted the portfolio of Postmaster
General. Mr.. Palmer's candidacy for
caucus chairman means, according to
all authority and Logic. that he will
remain in Congress.
