Synopsis of Preceding Chapters.
CIDoNIA, daughter of Lame Liza,
~ the towns sorceress, brooding
over her loveless state, comes upon
a mob of witch burners dragging an
old bag to a fire stake in the forest.
Her frenzied appeal for mercy incites
the rabble with the desire of adding
her to the holocaust, also. but she es-
capes their wrath. only TO run into
the treachery of a travelling jester and
his Juggling companion, who trice her
up to a sapling and are squabbl1ng
over the privilege of first tasting her
lips. when her cry for help brings to
her rescue a knight in armor. But
what a strange. silent knight, Even
when in the refuge of his arms he fails
to speak to her. and her superstitious
mind pictures him not of this life, but
as an angel Torn with disappoint-
ment when her mute hero abandOns
her in the silence of her doorstep. the
witch maiden invOkes the spirit of
evil. Immediately the sable pail of
darkness about her takes form a
masked figure gathers her up and
eventually deposits her in the midst
of the Thieves Kitchen. an under
world brothel. Here, dancing with
the masked unknown. she forgets her
angel hero. who is spending a fever
ish night visioning the loneliness OF
the girl he so OPPORTUNITY rescued
and then so unceremoniously aban-
doned.

The most careful courtesy is called
for when one is dealing with a

had a deyilish look. Perhaps it
was familiar and might take the
shape of a spotted calf or a green

tricaI effect on the whole National
League. With enough leeway Fletcher
will build UP a great ball club before
he is through. I am sure of it. He
is a natural leader and a fighter.
Now that the weather is getting
warmer, Davy Bancroft is beginning
to get results from the Braves. They
are not so far behind the pack, if you
will take time to analyZe the figures.
Boston clubs, as a rule. have a han
dicap in the Spring. The cold, raw
weather of the New England climate
in the early weeks takes the stea nj
and pep out of any club. That weather
l believe, has had much to do with
the Red Sox getting away to such
bad start. From what l see in the
papers, during my illness, the Tigers
are having similar troubles. No ball
club can do its best when the players
are chilled.
Too Cold For Game.
1t is hard to think base ball when
one is shivering. The writer's tell me
that it is even hard for them TO do
their best in the chill of a press box.
If these spring winds are high j.
has a bad effect on the curve ball
pitchers. In one game at Philadel-
phia Jack Scott tells me that il was
next to impossible to control his curve
ball against the cold wind that swept
against him. incidentally, that was
the game he lost. When a i,ase bail
is curving it is affected by the wind
very much like a golf ball tha1 is
sliced or hooked. The wind empha-
sizes the break, or curve, and it is
almost impossible to govern il.
Now, when the weather settles along
Summer lines in New England you
will see quite difference in the show
ing of the Boston clubs. At present
it Is not fair to judge any ball club
on. its Spring showing The only in
fiuence that luck has had on the races
is in the striking of good weather by
the several teams.

because of the unusually poor fishing
in the waters of Chesa peake Bay at
this season of, the year, that there
was nothing in the bay but salt. has
been dissipated now that the local
contingent at Chesapeake Beach has
been able to bring in from the deep
water some fine specimens of the
popular species of hardheads.
Hardheais i'm Bay.
1t remained for Capt. Noah Hazard
to come down from his Winter quar-
ters last Saturday night and take out
a boatload of the persistent variety
of anglers, and he showed them just
where and when to get them. Hazard
has been follow the water so long
that he is almost universally con-
ceded to be an authority on time and
place when it comes to fishing.
For several moons there have been
a number of lovers of the great sport
on the long pier every evening hop
ing and longing for the strike of the
hardhead on their annual Spring
visitation. But UP to last Saturday
night no one there had any luck.
This season the hardheads are about
two weeks late, but the size and ap-
pearance generally of those caught
last Saturday night from the boats in
deep water show them to be none
the less inviting and gratifying to
those who give up their usual Sleep
ing hours to inveigle the willy croak-
ers. When the anglers came in Sun.

In the meantime, snagging for her
ring will be the chief sport and those
engaged in this branch of angling
may snag several other species of the
finny tribe. -&
Snags $50 Herring.
One day last week, Dr.. Sam j..
Cockerille. fishing at Little Falls,
landed $50 herring by the snag
method. He also snagged a catfish
weighing S1a pounds. a carp weigh
ing about pounds, and then snagged
two shad weighing about pounds
each, which shows that those anglers
who like to snag herring need not be
surprised If they pull up a different
kind of fish.
There is no real fishing at the pres
ent time in the vicinity of the Steel
Plant below Hains Point. Friday
afternoon a party of newspapermen
motored down in a launch and were
rewarded for their efforts with the
catch of only one rock about 10
inches long and four very small
perch. Later on this will be one of
the most attractive places around
Washington for rock fishing, but it
is not so good at the present time
Benedict, on the Patuxent River,
is the first place to report very good
saltwater fishing. Last week Brice
Rupenthal of 730 18th street south
east headed a party to this place and
returned with 81 hardheads, ranging
in weight from 1 to 21a pounds.
