 New Fork, Sept. 7.-Wi1liam M Johnston. the twenty-year- old player from San Francisco, defeated Cham pion R. Norris Williams, 2d. of Phila- delphia, the national champion, yes terday on the turf of the West Side Tennis Club at Forest Hills in the most sensational match that has been seen in many a, day. The contest lasted the full limit of five sets and completely overshadowed the. victory of Maurice B. Mclaughlin, Salso Of San Francisco, over Theodore RooseA welt Pell. of this city, who was beaten in straight! sets by the sComet' in very convincing style.
 The resulte of these two matches assured the trophy going back to California once more, and the doubles trophy is certain to take a. trip to the Pacific coast, too, as Johnston and Griffin are the chaIlengers of the title held by Mclaughlin and Bundy.
 If Mclaughlin should win the tro- phy in the final match this afternoon at three o'clock, it will go out of play, for Mac has already two legs on the cup and needs but one more victory to keep it as his own.
 There were none of the spectacular features attached to the victory of Mclaughlin that attended the other match. Mclaughlin was 8 hot fla vorite' in spite of the fact that PelI had been playing pretty good tennis, Pell, however, had things pretty easy in the lower half of the draw and the only one of note that he beat was Watson M. Washburn, who is rank ed @inth. Pen might have made a bet

came to the window and stood there
for little, looking pensively out, alto,
gether unconscious of the watcher in
his aerial coign.
Again horrible uncertainty har
assed him. Was the woman Rose
or Judith? That she was one of these
he could plainly see. But which? Dared
he assume his hopes fulfilled?
With difficulty he detached his
hungry vision from her, and drawing
from his pocket small notebook, tore
out blank page, placed this fiat on
the girder, found pencil, and with
the assistance of a ray or two oil
moonlight scrawled a message Of al
most stenographic brevity.
When he looked up from this task
she had vanished.
Sitting up, astride the girder, he
took his watch-a cheap affair he hat
picked up when reclothing himself il
the garments OF civilized society, a.
Providence, that morning--opened the
back of the case, and closed it upon
the folded message.
Then drawing back his arm, he
breathed silent prayer to the god of
all true lovers, and cast it from him
with all his might-with such force
that 1t almost unseated him at the end
of the swing. But nothing less would
have served to bridge that yawning
chasm.
And the watch flew straight and
true, squarely through the lighted win
dow and to the further wall.
At that very instant of his exultation
over an obstacle overcome, he heard
sound behind him of heavy breathing.
The assassin had come that close
upon his prey when Alan turned and
discovered his peril
The same moonbeam which had
aided Alan in the composition of his
message struck across the others face,
and showed it like hideous Chinese
mask Of deadly hatred, with it's eye
balls glazing and it's lips drawn back
from the naked blade gripped between
its teeth-a stiletto nothing short of a
foot in length.
With sharp, startled movement.
Alan swung himself bodily about, SO
that, seated again astride the girder.
he faced the assassin who sat up,
straddling the girder, his feet hooked
beneath it stiletto poised in his
right hand to strike.

Face up, it grinned sardonic mock
cry of Alan's confidence: it was trey
of hearts.
With an ashen face and trembling
hand, Digby stopped to pick the
damned thing up; but Alan was be-
forehand with him, and got his fingers
first upon the card

shadow, all its windows dark but
one-and that one, in the topmost tier
showed only feeble glimmer, so slight
that Alan almost overlooked it.
But once discovered, it focused upon
itself his thoughts with power little
less than hypnotic.
He believed with small doubt that
Rose was a prisoner within those
walls; that Judith must have con-
veyed her there with all speed.
And, this being the presumptive case,
that small, high window of the light
might we'll be hers.
Directly across the street from the
Urine residence, on the opposite cor
ner, a colossal apartment structure
stood half-finished, stonework to its
second story. gaunt iron skeleton rear
ing above.
To his infinite disgust, Alan found
the guardian very wide awake, very
much on the job: no chance here to
steal unseen into the building.
This in itself might have been
deemed a suspicious circumstance:
not for nothing does an honest night
Waterman SO deny the laws of nature
and the tenets of his craft But Alan
merely praised the man while cursing
the very fact ofshis existence; and, ac-
costing, overcama with bank-notes
what seemed an uncommonly stubborn
reluctance, and got his way.
He could not know that another
skulked behind a barrier of lime bar
rels and overheard all that passed and,
when Alan had ducked smartly into
the unfinished building, rose and stole
after him with footsteps as noiseless
as cats and face that had the saw

CHAPTER xXiEi.
A Sporting Offer.

- 0POitiH2 SilCF.
Some two hours later, that same
evening. Mr.. Alan Law, very much
alive and, in spite Of complete new
outfit of ready-made clothing, looking
much more like himself than he had
in fortnight, issued forth from the
Grand Central station, hailed taxi
cab and had himself conveyed to the
Hotel Monolith
But if he looked his proper self once
more, it speedily was demonstrated
that his wish was otherwise: for after
learning from the room-clerk of the
Monolith that a suite was being held
In the name of Arthur Lawrence, that
was the name Mr.. Law inscribed on
the register
On the other hand, it was his true
name that he gave to the person whom
he called upon the telephone immedi-
ately after being shown to his rooms.
But then he was speaking to mis- old
friend and man of business, Mr. Dfgby.
Within another ten minutes this last
was in conference with his employer:
81 think you must be out of your
head" he insisted nervously, once
their first greetings were over. "You
might just as sensibly throw yourself
from the top of the Metropolitan tower
as come to New York while Urine lives
and knows you're this side the water"
"Nonsense!" Alan laughed. "Remem-
Der this is New York-not the back
woods of Maine!"
Alan paused and smote his palm
with remorseful fist. ''By the Eter-
nal, I'm forgetting Barcus!"
"Barcus?"
"Chap whose boat chartered in
Portland-sheer luck on my part: he's
one of the salt of the arth. First,
something must be done for the boy.
You've got influence Of some sort in
New Bedford, surely?"
Digby reflected Some. There's
George Blaine, justice of the peace"
"The very man. Telegraph him in
Barcus' interests Immediately. And
telegraph Barcus as well-send him
hundred for expenses, and tell him
to join me here in New York as quick
as he can!"
"Your friends address," Digby IN
quired, mildly ironic as he sat down
at the desk and fumbled with the sup
ply of stationery.
New Bedford Jail, Of counsel" Alan
chuckled-but cut his laugh in two as
something fiuttered from the pack of
envelopes which Digby had disturbed
and fell to the floor between the two
men.
