"oh, God, why hast thou forsaken
me?" Surely few people have had bet
ter reason to ask the question. But
God had not forsaken her entirely.
About this time former lackey Of
the Comte de Montgomerie's felt with
In him a spiritual yearning. He real'
ICED that his sins were as scarlet, and
he would be as white as snow. He
wished to become priest, and devote
his life to good works. With this
praiseworthy ambition in his breast,
he set about undoing the evil he had
wrought, so far as he could. He knew
the truth about the robbery at the
Montgomeries'. and he wrote an anony-
nous letter to friends Of the dan
giades. giving them information which
enabled them to bring the facts to
light. And the facts showed that the
unfortunate d'Anglade had nothing
whatever to do with the crime.
The chief criminal was the Comte de
Montgomerie's almoner, priest
named Gaynard. who had obtained
wax impressions Of the comte's keys.
From these impressions man named
Belestre made false keys; several
servants of the comte we're in the plot,
including the writer of the anonymous
letter. They were all taken into Gus
tody and subjected to the torture, one
by one, and in their confessions they
were unanimous IN generating dan
glade.
The unfortunate wife was released
from her black dungeon, with her
naked babe In her arms. She was In
a dying condition. but now the sympa-
thy of an entire nation was with her,
and she was nursed back to health.
The people OF Paris raised q fund for
her, amounting to $4,000. and the
courts made De Montgomerie dig up
a large sum to make restitution for
the property conhscated.
There is only one bright spot In this
tragic story. One morning the lieu
tenant general of police, who had been
the lion Of Paris for q long time,
stepped out OF his door TO so to his
ONCE. when q stone lift him on the
side Of the head. Then another rock
-or maybe II was q vitrihed brick;
anyhow, II was hard. and weighed
eight pounds and half-took him in
the stomach and doubled him up, and
before he could unbend himself some
body prodded him In the ribs with a
pole. In fact. the whole population OF
the street had turned out to do him
honor. and when his servant dragged
him back into the house he looked
just like a man who has been fooling
with q pile driver.

but when man is hunting a lion he
doesn't want to fool away time on rab-
bits. Five of the missing bags Of ga
yer we're found in the servants boxes,
but this made no impression upon the
great policeman. The marquis must
have put the bags where they were
found, in order to throw suspicion
upon the servants.
The prosecution was pitiless and
brutal, and the lieutenant general OF
police seemed to dominate everybody
and everything. The marquis protest
ed his innocence, and was ordered to
the torture, but no physical agony
could draw from him a confession of
guilt. He was convicted and sen.
fenced to the galleys for life, and
presently set forth on his mangled
limbs, as member of chain gang
bound for Toulon. The story of the
persecution Of the d'Anglades seems
more like a chronicle of the dark
ages than a record of modern hap
penings. The marquis, whose life
had been spent in gilded case, found
the journey torture; and the brutes
in charge of the chain gang seemed to
take a vicious delight in adding to his
misery in every possible way. He
was chosen out for all their barbarity,
perhaps because he was an arlstocrat.
League after league he toiled along
the endless white road, his feet bleed
ing, his legs swollen, his body COW
cred with bruises, and his heart
broken.
At last death came to his relief. He
died of exhaustion at Marseilles, and
1t is doubtful whether any man ever
greeted the dellverer with greater Joy.
Meanwhile his wife had been taken
from a sick bed and dragged to the
bar Of justice by the tireless lieuten-
ant general. who was fairly basling
in the well-earned fame. this case had
brought him. She was found guilty
of something or other, and imprisoned
in an underground dungeon, where, In
cold and slime and darkness, she be-
came the mother Of a daughter; and
mother and babe were left there with
no attention, except when a piece Of
black bread was thrown in, as to a
wild beast. Afterwards the TAILOR who
did this service said that he ofen
heard the wretched woman moaning.

d'Anglades to go along. The invita-.
ton was accepted but at the elev-
enth hour d'Anglade begged of, say
ing his wife had fallen sick. The
Montgomeries went away and there is
every reason to suppose that they
had the best kind of time at their
rural chateau. They returned to Paris
a day earlier than they had expected
to, arriving at their home in the eve
ming. The dAnglades spent the eve
ming with them.
On the following morning Montgom-
erie discovered that he had been
robbed during his absence. and the
robbers had made big haul. They
had opened his strong box with q
false key and had carried on thirteen
bags of silver, several bags Of gold,
and q hundred louis dor of new pat
tern, NOT In general circulation, and
q quantity OF valuable jewelry. The
comte sent at once for the police.
The lieutenant general Of police
came, with several OF his trusty
.sleuths, and after examining every
thing he announced his belief that
somebody in the house had stolen the
goods, and he began search of the
premises. In order that nobody could
accuse him Of impartiality. he made q
search of the d'Anglades' apartment
the first thing, before going to the
servants quarters, and his surprise
and delight may be imagined when he
discovered a roll Of IS louis dor, Of
the new coinage, wrapped up in pa
per q part Of genealogical table,
which was at once identified by Mont
generic as belonging to him. In vain
the marquis protested that he knew
nothing about the money or how 1t
came there. His appearance was
against him.
To the astute lieutenant general of
police this was sufficient proof Of the
mans guilt. When he went to the
house he expected that II was going
TO be q sordid affair, involving Q
crooked servant or two. and now be
had a real live marquis In the tolls.
His delight may easily be understood.
The case was bound to make g big
sensation. and the lieutenant general
would be covered with glory. From
the moment OF finding the money in
d'Anglade's attic, that gifted function
AIRY bent all his efforts to the one end
the conviction OF the marquis. He
would consider no evidence that led
in other directions.
As a matter Of form he went to the
basement. and there found evidence
against the servants far more incrim-
mating than that against the marquis,

Pittsburgh, Aug. McGraw's
Giants finally came out Of the trance
that had held them spellbound during
their last Western trip and walloped
the Pirates to-day in an eleven inning
tussle by score of G to 2. A bunch
of heavy hits against Bob Harmon
produced four runs in New York's
eleventh Jeff Tesreau held the Pirates
safe through the second half of this
round.
New York, desperate from the luck
that had run steadily against them on
the road, simply went out and ham
mered themselves to victory. 1t was
a gloomy prospect for the visitors when
they went to bat in the ninth. The
count was 2 to 0 against them.
Robertson opened this period of
grace with a perfect bunt in front of
the plate. Davie moved TO second on
Herzog's single to centre. These two
runners advanced while Baird was
throwing out Doyle. Robertson scored
and Herzog took third while Baird was
tossing out Hunter. Benny Kauff then

the tieing run.
Hunter, who finished the game at
third base for the Giants. was the lead
ing figure of New York's eleventh inning
rally. His home run was the last of
four counts that clinched the game for
the visitors. IL drove in Burns, who
had just tripled, redeeming the singles
of Robertson and Doyle.
At the beginning of the seventh in
ming Fletcher was called out on strikes.
He resented the decision so spiritedly
that Umpire Byron ordered him to the
clubhouse. HerZog then went TO short
and Hunter to third base.
Lobert batted for Sallee in the eighth
without getting anywhere. In Pitts
burgh's half of this inning Burns saved
the day with fine throw. With one
down Warner beat bunt and ad-
vanced on an infield out. Bigbee walked.
Hinchman singled TO left, but Burns's
throw to the plate was so quick and &C
curate that Warner was stopped dead
on the lines and finally run down.
The score follows:

Cheney's Right Arm
Ends Robins Slump
The Robins Roost.

Gus Getz replaced Lew McCarty at
first base in to-day's game, and did
well. Not only did he add stability to
the defence, but the attacking power
was not lessened, for the day, ut least.
Gus got himself triple and single in
four times up. and played a clever
game in the field. He made dandy
stop Of Eddie Rousch's rap along the
first base line.
Hi Myers took hit right out of Hal
Chasc's batting average by racing into
short right centre TO make a circus
catch.
II will be Shriners' Day at Redland
Field tomorrow. Brass bands will
play and many other specialties will
be introduced.
Tommy Griffith is no friend Of Buck
Wheat. He robbed the Cherokee Of
a home run by grabbing his line drive
in the third frame.
Clarence Miller worked on the
mound for the Reds and pitched well.
Just one of the runs scored by the
Robins was earned.
Nap Rucker, owner Of the slowest
ball in the world, has invented a new
delivery which makes his famous drop
look like Johnson's fast one. Nap says
he can throw it to the plate and then
run to centre field in time to catch the
Ay that the batter will raise. Then
again, he can walk in back of the plate
and wait the delivery out.
