He came 10 a dead halt. hot
blush OF shame pricked him. He felt
suddenly mean, contemplate. He en-
tered the room and asked If there were
any mail for Daniel Fitzhugh The
clerk handed him half-dozen letters
postmarked from a small town IN Rus
sa.
He opened and read them one by
one, standing near the window. In all
of them Esther breathed her love for
him, yet there was a difference as the
letters progressed. In the first two
she wrote chiefly OF him and secondly
of the work she was doing for the
Cause. The next one was solely about
him and there was a more insistent
note in her passionate declarations.
In the third was a tone Of despair,
hint Of fond hopes fast slipping away;
and the last two were filled with bit
ter reproaches, piteous pleadings-
jealousy
From a word she let drop in one Of
the earlier misSives he OWNED she
was In dire need OF money. Even at
that moment she might be suffering
from lack of necessities.
He stuffed the letters In coat
pocket, went TO his bank and procured
bill of exchange TO her order for
thousand dollars:
At one Of the public desks he wrote
on the back of a deposit-slip: "The
goal is not yet in sight, but I'm run
ming fast"
This he attached to the draft and
sealed in an envelope, which he al
dressed and mailed to her while re-
morse was hot upon him.
From the post Office he went to
hotel in Randolph street, asked for
stationery and wrote the following:
Dear Hunt
have just received bad news My
brother is at the point of death Must
hurry to his bedside. May see you In a
couple of weeks. Meanwhile. good luck!
Yours. f.
He directed this to Hunts home ad-
dress, took 1t to the district messenger
office In the hotel and left orders for
its delivery at nine O'clock.
Had anyone looked for Fitzhugh
that night in his apartment, or in the
theaters or hotel Hobbies. or In any of
the other places where he usually
spent his evenings. 1t would have been
in vain. He would not have been
found.
But in a vile saloon In lower Clark
street tall, trampish-looking man
with pointed beard. attired In ragged
habiliments and wearing low upon hi,

ly with the muddled denizens. leading

Miss Rosenillal
Beats Mrs. Barlow
After Hard Match

NEW LONDON, Conn. Aug 5.-The
seminal of the Shenecossett women's
championship, played here to-day,
brought out two fine matches. Miss
Elaine Rosenthal, of Chicago, won from
Mrs. Roland Barlow, Of Philadelphia,
or the eighteenth green after a hard
fought match. Mrs. Barlow thus sur
renders her title of champion, which
she won here last year when she de-
feated Miss Rosenthal in the final.
The Philadelphia golfer lost the first
two holes, but came back and surren-
dered the match at the fourth. 1t was
then seesaw affair until the last tee.
Mrs. Barlow was forced to win the
seventeenth to get on even terms, and
she did the trick neatly with a par
four, but on the last hole she put her
drive into trap and it cost her three
shots to get out. She then promptly
conceded the hole and the match.
Miss Glenna Collett, the Providence
youngster. had to play nineteen holes
10 beat Mrs. NJ. r. Smith, the other
Philadelphia entry. Mrs. Smith had
the upper hand Of the match through
most Of the journey. 1t was not as
good golf as was displayed in the Ro-
senthal- Barlow match, where Miss
Rosenthal had to do an S6 to conquer
her opponent. In the second sixteen

price that was realized for any of the
yoarlings Of the Beaumont Stud, which
were disposed of at the sales ring here

brother to Motor Cop, the fleet sprinter
which has scored so many victories
under the Ross colors.
This Ultimus colt was bid up quickly,
but Commander Ross had evidently
made up his mind 70 have him If the
colt turns out to be anywhere near as
good as Motor Cop his purchase price
viii be considered very cheap
There were thirty-two yearlings
offered at the sale. and the next best
figure was obtained for brown colt by
ultimus out of Paramount, which
brought $4,000, the purchaser being
Fred Johnson. A chestnut colt by
Uncle out of Broomleaf was sold to
j. c. Milan for S4,700
In addition to the yearlngs there was
offered the brood mare Royal Ensign, bv
