oYerturn the whole universe"
During his soliloquy, Severac's face
had passed through the most diverse
expressions OF passion, doubt. pride,
tenderness. hatred. violent affection,
and indomitable resoluteness. With
the closing words. he raised his hand
as II to make q pledge to himself
which nothing could break.
Then. with a swiftness which DEM
onstrated how completely this man
was able to control his physical ap-,
pearance, Severac took on that cold,
calm, even humble mfen which was
familiar to Oxus and Fulbert
The dining room was on the upper
floor, opening from that hall which
separated the private apartments OF
Oxus and Fulbert. When Severac en-
tered the priest, savant, and Moisetts
were seated around the table.
"Severac." said Oxus, and It was
the first time the master had adj
dressed his colleague without the
prefix Monsieur. "Severac, this viii
be your place after this"
The engineer bowed. saluted Moi
settle, and excused himself for being
late. Then they sat down.
The table was square. each person
occupying a side of It Oxus faced
Fulbert and Moisette faced Severac.
There was little cons ersation dur
ing the meal, Oxus and Fulbert being
preoccupied with their dreams OF
world conquered. and Moisette being
under the tyrannical spell cast by the
mysterious young man seen that
morning.
As for Severac, he forced himself to
hide under an apparent inpassiyity
the tumultuous sentiments which the
young girl was inspiring within him
A little pale and languid, Moisette
was even more beautiful than ever.
When she raised her eyes her gaze
met that OF Seyerac, and little BY
little a vague uneasiness came over
her at finding those eyes almost con-
stantly fixed upon her.
Scipio served the meal quickly and
silently. removing the plates and
passing the food which came up from
waiter.
A silent Meal.
Usually oxus and FuIbert enjoyed
talking with MoIsette as a most
grateful diversion in the midst OF
their work. But today the almost
mournfuI air at this luncheon for four
would have seemed menacing to any
one "hO iuAkhb nave zen AASc -
observe II.
As each was too much occupied
with his own passion TO talk, none
found the general silence strange.
When dessert had been removed,
Fulbert was the first to rise from
the table. Turning to the engineer.
he said:
"severac, after our siesta we viii
expect you in the laboratory"
The engineer responded with bow.
But this time Moisette noticed the
familiarity with which the priest ad-
dressed his COLLEAGUES. It surprised
her, and she asked herself the reason.
As soon as Fulbert and Oxus had
left the dining room. she found her
self alone with Severac. She noticed
then an odd expression IN his eyes,
an expression she had never before
seen. It was q mute avowal OF ad-
miration, desire. beseeching.
Although she did not comprehend
Its meaning. the young girl was dis
agreeably impressed by this look. as
well as by the sudden change in the
engineers attitude.
He seemed struck with sadness. but
also animated by a most disagreeablo
audacity.
On the other hand. the young girls
eyes bespoke only the greatest
amazement.
This fortuitous meeting ended
quickly.

Field Events at Murnane Memorial
Furnish SURPRISES.

BOSTON, September 2S.-The Boston
Americans yesterday defeated an all
star team recruited from leading play
ers OF the American League, with
Maranville of the Boston Nationals at
shortstop, by to 0. The entire pro-
ceeds went to the family of the late
r. H Murnane, who until his death last
winter was considered the dean of
American base ball writers. The re-
ceipts were well over $4,000.
With two out in the eighth inning
Barry of Boston singled to left off the
delivery of Johnson of Washington
Hoblitzell singled over second and both
men scored on Lewis triple to right
center.

land and Jackson of the champion

for the all-stars and contributed SEN
sational plays. Mclnnis ot the Phila-
delphia Athletics was at frst. Chap
man, the Cleveland shortstop. at sec
ond and Weaver of Chicago at third
Before the gang a set of field events
was staged. Cobb failed to win a first
event in getting down to first base
after a bunt. McNally, the Red Sox in
fielder won this event in the record
time Of ais seconds. Chapman circled
the bases in IA seconds. two-fifths of a
second faster than any one else. He
later stole two bases, one while Agnew
was catching, the other while Thomas
was catching.
The surprise of the sprint to first
base was that Maranville could get to
the bag as fast as Bobb, Hooper, Jan
vrin and some of the bigger fleet men
of the American League. In throwing
to second base for accuracy the work
of Maranville was the best until Dutch
Leonard threw the ball through the
heart of the barrel. which was perched
cannonwise over the midcushion.
Ruth won the fungo batting contest
on his first try, and all his later at
tempts. as well as those of johnson.

attempt to better the record of 402 feet
