Braine shrugged. Remember what

FELTON, bowed respectfully and made
his exit. He wished In his soul that he
might some day catch the master mind
free Of his eternal mask. It was IN
iron hand which ruled them and there
were friends Of his (Felton's) who had
mystsriously vanished after . brief
period Of rebellion. The boss was Z
swell: probably belonged to clubs and
society which he adroitly pilfered. The
organization always had money. When.
ever there was . desperate job to be
undertaken, vroon simply poured out
the money necessary to promote 1t.
Whenever Braine and Vroon became
engaged In earnest conversation they
talked Slav. Braine was never called
by name here: the boss. simply that.
Well. ten per cent of million was q
hundred thousand. This would be
equally divided between the second
ten Of the Black Hundred. Another ten
per cent would go to 80 members: the
balance would be divided between
Vroon and the boss. But his soul re-
belled at being ordered about like 90
much dirt under another mans feet.
He would take his ten thousand and
make the grand getaway.
The next afternoon the princess
called upon Florence. Nothing was

created vague unrest In the schem-

she must play her cards more care
fully than ever. Not the least distrust
must be permitted to enter the child's
head. Once that happened good-by to
the wonderful emeralds. Was 1t that
she really craved the stone? Was It
not rather venom acquired from the
knowledge that this child's mother had
won what she herself. with all her
cleverness. was not sure of-Braine's
love? Did he really care for her or
was she only the catspaw to pluck his
hot chestnuts from the fire?
When Florence showed her the per

II was midnight when he made his
departure. As he stepped into the
street. he glanced about cautiously.
On the corner he saw policeman
swinging his night stick. Otherwise
the street was deserted. Braine pro-
ceeded jadntily down the street.
And yet, from the darkened doors Of
the house across the way, the figure of

By making eight runs in the sixth inning of Saturdays game the State Hospital managed to defeat the Ma tionals by the score of 10 to 8 in the first game of the Hospita1-Nationals series.
 Harrigan pitched great ball for the Hospital and was steady in pinches and caused ten to go the strikeout route while Wheeler was wild.
 The Nationals were continually kicking over Bill Austin's decisions as to strikes and balls. Three-bag- gers by Chick Stanley and Houlihan were the longest clouts of the game.
 Corbett, Bill Stanley and Wood made good catches.
 The second game of the series will be played on June 18th. On the 29th of this month the Hospital plays the Newfields of Bridgeport and on the following day the Newfields and Ma tionals play on the Cranberry. The game by innings follows:

The Jimmy Clabby-George Chip match, at the St Nicholas A. C., on Wednesday night, tops the list of pu- gilistic attractions for the week at New York clubs. These middleweight rivals are possessed of championship ability, Chip having held the title be- fore he carelessly tossed it away in 8 bout with Al Mccoy. Since that time Chip easily put Mccoy out in a ten round bout, giving him a more severe facing than C1abby did last week Mccoy can hardly be consider ed as the legitimate holder of the title and it is up to Chip and Clabby to fight it out for a match with Gib- bons over the twenty round route.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK PRICES DECLINE. War SpeciaIties Closed the Day With Net Losses of One to Four Points.

New York, May S-The net result of today's short stock market session is calculated to dispel all doubt of this country's ability to maintain it's finan- cial equilibrium in the face of very trying circumstances.
 Overnight adViceS in connection with the sinking of the LuSitania carrying political implications of grave import, were expected to find direct reflection in values of securities. AS a matter of fact the market broke severely in the first 15 minutes, the declines run ming from to 10 points. From that time almost to the end, heavy buying orders brought a restoration of normal conditions, many important issues closing with nominal losses, while a few showed small gains.
 Some of the WGr Specialties, like Bethlehem Steel and Westinghouse, closed the day with losses of 1 to points, while seasoned stocks in the railway list plainly showed the effect of what Is technically called good" buying. Much of the early selling was traceable to the shore interest, while foreign offerings also added to the de- cline. On the whole, however, London, where the feeling was one of acute depression, took no considerable part in the preliminary liquidation.
 There was a further wedding out of margined accounts and conservative brokers advised their customers to re- Tram rom making new commitments over the week end. Total sales of stocks amounted to 575,O00 shares.
 Bankers and representatives of the stock exchange conferred before the opening of the market and every pre- caution was taken to keep speculation within bounds. The money market was not a, factor, all loans made yes terday holding over until next Mon day.
 Little attention was paid to the bank statement, which reported an actual cash loss of $500, 900 and a contraction of $7,786,000 in the reserves.
 Exchange in London was higher at the opening, but reacted later. To what extent the Lusitania disaster may bear upon the exchange market remains matter of conjecture.
 Bonds were heavy and active Total sales (par value) aggregated $3,575, ,0OO.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call during the week
