CHAPTER lil-continued.
s.

Everything seems awfully queer.
Maybe because Father isn't here, for
one thing. He wrote very polite and
asked us to come to get our things.
and lie said he was going to New York
on business for several days. so Mother
need not fear he should annoy her
With his presence. Then, another
thing, Mothers queer. This morning
she was singing away at the top Of her
voice and running all over the house
picking up things she wanted; and
seemed so happy. But this afternoon
l found her down on the floor in the
library crying as If her heart would
break, with her head in Fathers big
chair before the fireplace. But she
jumped up the minute l came in and
said no, no. she didn't want anything.
when l asked her If she was sorry,
after all, that she was going to Boston
to live, she said, no, no, no, indeed.
she guessed she wasn't. She was just
as glad as glad could be that she was
going only she wished Monday would
hurry up and come so we could be
gone.
And that's all. It's a Saturday now,
and we go just day after tomorrow.
Our trunks are most packed, and
Mother says she wishes she'd planned
to go today. I've said goodbye to all
the girls, and promised to write loads
of letters about Boston and every
thing. They are almost as excited as
! am; and I've promised, 'crOss my
heart and hope to die that l won't
love those Boston girls better than
do them--specially Carrie Haywood
of course. my dearest friend.
Nurse Sarah is lowering around
everywhere, asking to help, and pre-
tending she's sorry we're going. But

going on since we came. But I'll try
now to begin ut the beginning and tell
what happened.
Well, first we got into Boston at
four O'Clock Monday afternoon, and
there was Grandpa Desmond to meet
us. He's lovely-tall and dignified,
With grayish hair and merry eyes like
Mothers, only his are behind glasses.
AT the station he just kissed Mother
and me and said he was glad to see us,
and led us to the place where Peter
was waiting with the car. (Peter
drives Grandpa's automobile, and he's
lovely. too)
Mother and Grandpa talked very
fast and very lively all the way home,
and Mother laughed quite a lot. But
in the hall she cried little. and
Grandpa patted her shoulder. and said.
'There. there" and told her how glad
he was to get his little girl back. anc
that they We're going to be very happy
now and forget the past. And Mother
said. yes. yes, indeed. she knew she
was; and she was so glad to be there
and that everything was going to be
just the same, wasn't It? Only-then
all of sudden she looked over at me
and began to cry again--only, OF
course, things couldn't be "just the
same." she choked. hurrying over to
me and putting both arms around me.
and crying harder than ever.
Then Grandpa came and hugged us
both. and patted us, and said. "There
there" and pulled off his glasses and
wiped them very fast and very hard.
But it wasn't only minute or two
| before Mother was laughing again, and
saying, "Nonsense." and The idea ~

SYNOPSIS.-In a preface Mary
Marie explains her apparent ''dou-
BILE personality" and just why is
'cross-current and a contradlc-
ton; she also tells her reasons
for writing the diary-later to be
a novel. The diary is commenced
at Andersonville. Mary begins with
Nurse Sarah's account Of her

terested her father. who is a ia
nous astronomer. less than new
star which was discovered the same
night. Her name Is a compromise:
her mother wanted to call her
Viola and her father insisted on
Abigail Jane. The child quickly
learned that her home was in some
way different from those Of her
small friends, and was puzzled
thereat. Nurse Sarah tells her OF
her mothers arrival at Anderson
vile as a bride and how astonished
they all were at the sight of the
dainty eighteen-year-old girl whom
the sedate professor had chosen for
a wife. Nurse Sarah makes it plain
why the household seemed strange
one to the child and how her fa-
ther and mother drifted apart
through misunderstanding. each too
proud to in any way attempt to
smooth over the situation. Mary
tells of the time spent "Out west
where the perfectly all right and
genteel and respectable" divorce
was being arranged for. and her
mothers Ito herr unaccountable be-
havior. BY the courts decree tire

The eighteen holes are not entirely
completed and are not available for
the use OF the public. With the re-
ceipt OF the additional funds. It will
be possible 10 quickly complete the
course.
An idea OF the popularity OF the
course at the Porter Reservoir may
be gained from the fact that on 26
playing days during May, 1897 per-
sons played over the course. OF the
number, 2S4 were members and 17l3
non-members.
The course at the Municipal
Course is in very good shape at the
present time. The thirteen new
greens, which were put in last fall
and during the past spring have
come up and are in better condition
than was expected. There is consid-
erable expense involved in the con-
struction Of a golf course. The local
course was built entirely by public
subscription. The cost of erection at
the Porter Reservoir is much cheap
er than the average golf course
which is about $4,000. The Pine
Valley course, the finest IN the
world. cost 100000 and six years
were required to build It.
The congestion OF the Cobb's
Creek course at Philadelphia, which
Is one OF the best in the East has
resulted in players who usually
cover that course coming to this
city to play on the Municipal Course.

County Leaguers Must Get
Rid Of Postponed Games

The first leg OF the County Base

close, only two more games being
scheduled for the first half. Two OF
the teams have two postponed games
while the others have one postponed
game. The ones have two postpon-
ed games to play before the ending
OF the first half are New Castle and
Five Points and New Castle and
Marshallton; Five Points has games
with New Castle and Yorklyn.
These games must be played be-
fore July 4. The time will be left 10
the management OF the teams for
one week, but II not fixed before
Saturday OF next week. President
Winter threatens TO set the dates and
the team failing to appear and play
the game will forfeit 10 the one ap-
pearing. Both the New Castle teams
postponements are away from home.
The other postponements are Della
ware City at Marshallton, and York
lyn at Newark.
New Castle will travel TO Yorklyn
tomorrow to meet the runners up OF
the first half. New Castle has now
struck its real stride for the first
time this season. All the players are
in mid-season form and showing lots
