THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, ,
DAY, AUGUST
1906.
MEMPHIS AND BIRMINGHAM
REINFORCING FOR FINISH
Tftw Nlmk'Uti of bn*el>nll who have fig
ured It (Hit that the Southern l>»fl;nie P*n-
imnt for 1906 lion ln*tw«HMi Memplil* and
Blrmiinriinm have their dope aflll further
Htrengthenoil by the moves Charley Babb
■ ml ’Arry Vuughau have made to rein
force their efforts.
Look lit Memphis.
That teimi has recently lx*en moving as
fast as any In the Southern Inugue—dts-
»|dte the loss of those two games
New Orleans Saturday. Yet, Ilabb Is filling
up the holes right nlong. and right
has the strongest batting array In the
circuit. He has bought farter and Jimmy
Smith from the Western League to close
the gaps In right field and at second
Imae.
Everylwdy who has followed the Southern
league since 1901 knows who Jimmy Smith
Is and what a valuable man he Is to any
team. Ills yeoman service with Ab Powell
■t New Orleans and with Ilobhy Gllk*
three or four years at Shreveport have dem
onstrated his worth as a fast Infielder, a
clever Imtter and it heady base-runner.
Carter la said to l*e a good fielder and a
hard hitter. Ills home run Sunday defeat
ed Atlanta.
Aa his tesm stands now, Habb has an
Infield Just a little bit better In all-round
play than any other lu the Southern League
—with the |»oselh!e exception of Atlanta’s
quartet when In fighting trim. Ills out
field of Thiel, Nadeau and Carter com
bines fielding ability with heavy hitting j
and superb base-running. Ilia pitching i
• atatf of Llebhardt, Suggs, Htockdale and
[ Loin-kit Is aa good ns any, nml the only
j weakness that appears In the line-up la lie-
! Idnd the bat, where I’d llurlhurt la oome-
j what slow uud Owens Is hardly up to the
| Southern longue standard.
The intest announcement of Interest to
fandom Is that Dad Vaughan has purchased
Shortstop Castro from Nashville. There
Is n reisirt current that the sale will bo
nullified by President Knvunuugh on the
ground that swapping and purchasing of
players during the Inst thirty days of the
campaign are prohibited. Hut It Is prob
able that ?<lrmliighani will get the Ceotrnl
American. lie will inoat acceptably fill In
lief ween third and second for Vaughan. lie
Is n very clever fielder, a much better
hitter than either Oyler or Alcock, and
has more ginger and fighting spirit. lie
tvll prove n tower of strength to the In
field.
Slniultnneons with the nnouncement of
the sale of Castro comes the report that
Nnshvlile has purchased Inflelder Itocken-
feld. who was with one of the St. Lou la
tennis during the early pari of the season
It Is predicted thnt ho will be a star In
the Southern League.
Charley Frank, with his rejuvenated
corps, mid Hobby Gllk* will doubtless
worry along with their present team.
The purchase of Pitcher Still from Rich-
nmnd by Atlanta Is n move for 1907 rath-
than this year. He Is not due to report
until September 1, anil that will be a little
too lute to do much good this season.

Cut out the three hit* that the visit
ors got, one In the second and two In tho
thirteenth, niul only ten bits were secured
off Phillips. That one In the second .could
nop be scored any other way after Shuster’s
wonderful deslslon.—New Orleans States.
We agree thoroughly, and approve of

slslons” are about nil Shuster can make.
Rrouthers was badly hurt by Suggs' In
the last game In which they met, and
when Suggs hit him again, Brouthers
came to the. conclusion that tho act was
deliberate. It was this Impression which
brought Brouthers over to the pitcher's
box.—New Orleans Picayune.
The “once big leaguer” seems to be a
very “pugilistic” ball player.
Memphis earned yesterday’s victory,
Lotirkx proving more than the light bitter*
of the Pelican tenin could solve. For
eight Inning* Louck* allowed but one hit,
n two-luigger by Stratton. Then O'Brien
came In for a two-bagger and Atz for a

of the game.—Memphis Newn-Scimltnr.

Floyd often stopped a week nt Hurst-
mont. It was a great reat from town,
where there la no reat, and It was a bit
difficult to get to, which was one of
Its charms; and the Ashing was good.
But the Crusaders* Anns was the
strong point—an undeveloped Inn with
a rustic garden and veranda, to say
nothing of excellent cooking and quiet,
far-away touch about It which was
bairn-like and soothing after the fever
and hurry of the city. Care could be
laid aside there. You stepped out of
the front door Into an open place
flanked by $ garden, and with a coun
try road a little farther on, while oc
cnslonally—very occasionally—there
was to be seen a white puff of smoke
on tho other aide of a heather-clad
hill, denoting that a train on the branch
line by which travelers' reached the
ruandera* Arms was leisurely tuklng
« departure.
The landlord, who was a Hampshire
man, might have painted over his door,
"Here there Is peace.” for the* world
went smoothly there, and you woke up
In tho morning to hear the animated
inversAtlnn of the birds In the woods,
the call of the cuckoo, the Invigorating
rattle of a milk pall In the brick court
yard. It was a hotel boasting wistarias
and magnolias And honeysuckle, a place
where there was a deep, abiding sense j
of one of the old-fashioned perfumed
Junes.
It was Just the place for a period of
recuperation, and Floyd had remained
a week, and Intended to turn that week
Into at least two, If not three, bsfore
he had done, for he felt that he had
earned a holiday—a feeilna which In
itself Is one of the most restful In the
world—os his last play had been a
success; and there was alongside of
that triumph a larger Tiope oesldes.
The friends he met at Hurstmont
were all good fellows, and he liked to
chat at night, though the country air
was soporific, and he generally retired
early. Thnt was the way In the coun
tryside.
Along the roads came the sheep that
passed In the night and In the day
bleating; and the landlord was a
friendly’ soul, an aubergiat of the best,
who would say, “How are you keep
ing v’—aa If you were prime salt pork.
ur
There was a picture In the parlor of
Una subjugating a lion, that was lost
In admiration, and there was another
showing an attack on Belfort in 1870.
It was an Ideal place, even when It
rained. Golfer* congregated there, and
the fascination of It all was bonie in
upon Floyd as he went upstairs. There
came to the ear the sound of a piano
from down stairs, and there was the
whlFfcer of voices. How strange is the
semi-silence of a hotel, that note of

mystery, thnt fnntaatic suggestion of
odd little, half-forgotten things, of Ig-
cldcntn of travel, sensation of the great
routes of the world!
But when he arrived, unannounced.
In June, the landlord held up hla hands
In dismay.
"No room?” exclaimed Floyd.
“Very sorry, nlr," said the landlord.
"If you had only written. But they
might put you up at the Sheaves, kept
by a ludy—Mian Charter!,.’’
“Ah, I will try there," and John
Floyd drove away down the village
xtreet and Into the country again, for
the flyman to pull up at a pretty roae-
nnd-clenmtla covered cottage.
"The Sheaves In not an Inn. sir,”
said the llyman, me he got down; "but
I believe it', all right.”
Ami when a few minutes later the
visitor found himself inside the house,
he realised that tho driver spoke the
truth.
Mine Charterls Interested him ex
tremely, but why she took tn boarders
pulnlcd him.
"You must be rather lonely here,” he
nald.
"No," she answered; "there Is plenty
to Interest me.”
He nodded shortly.
"No doubt. But Is there anything
arrhaeloglcal? We Americans are that
way, you know."
"There I, the Abbey," she said.
"May one go there T’
The girl hesitated.
“I mean with permission, of course.
It Is not Inhabited?”
"No—o. It is not Inhabited." she said,
slowly.
"You take a great interest In It?" he
said.
Yes, and I fear the Goths and Van-
dale."
"The Goths and Vandals?”
"You see, the Abbey Is all I have,"
she said, wistfully. "It used to belong
to my family, ull this part, and It la the
only bit left.”
"And It's a ruin,” he put In, thought
fully, and at that minute, as he looked
at her, he unconsciously felt glad that
he liked Ashing, un,d that the proclivity
had led his steps to that out-of-the-
way corner of the world.
"Yee,” she murmured, 'It U a ruin,
but a very beautiful ruin. If you like,
I could show It; they would let me."
The young man wondered who the
mythical "they” might be, as he aqmm-
panlcd her Into the silent pathways of
the ancient stronghold, monastic In its
solemnity now.
“The staircase la very worn and old,”
he said.
"Yes," she answered, "the Crusaders
did chip the steps a good deal In
tramping up and down."
He looked at her. hut said not a word.
He could not sleep that night, for all
the busy traffic of the soft summer
night seemed to be tn league against
him. A bat came with a bump on the
casement, the fastening rattled, then
a great white moth sailed In and hov
ered dangerously over the candle. He
rose at last and dressed, and then Just
as he opened the door he saw In the
duaky corridor a figure—a phantom of
the night. There was a movement
below, and he descended to follow her

old chateau, which Just then looked
more dream-llke still.
He lost sight of her in that mage of
moss-covered, lvy-wreathcd archways,
where the moonlight fell In sllvir
principally by Insight and admiration
Tor what he saw, and realising that
he stood very little chance of finding
his Involuntary guide, familiar as she
seemed to be with the Intricacies of
the place. He mounted stairway after
stairway, at length coming to a wing of
the castle where ruin was not so plain
ly marked.
Here music came faintly to the ear,
and he stopped to listen before pursu
ing his way, hesitating finally on the
threshold of a large chamber, whose
walls were still partially draped with
torn tapestry, and at the far end he
xaw the girl who was his hostess at
The Sheaves, sitting before an old.
time musical Instrument, playing a for-
gotten air.

There was something hard In his left
boot on the following morning, and
he took It off and shook It, finding In
side what was evidently the head of a
hat pin—a little Jewel with a tiny coat
of arms. ,
"Strange!" he muttered; and after
breakfast, when he aaw her at the en
trance to the garden, he spoke to her
about It.
"Is this yours?" he said.
"Yes," she said; "yes, It Is.mine. An
nette, the maid, must have dropped It."
She took the Jewel and examined It
attentively, and then blushed to th.
root, of her hair.
Floyd eyed her su.plclously,
"Yes," he said, "Annette or another. 1
She turned quickly away.
"You are fooling me, young woman,"
he said to himself as he gazed after
her retreating figure; "but John Floyd
not going lo be fooled much more
and his mind went back to the
scene of the night; the silvern rays of
the Queen of Night falling through the
radiance of the stained-glass window,
with Its figured saints, on to another
queen sitting there at the old-time
splnnet like some sylph from the dim
bygone, bringing charm to the days
which were passing now.
"See here. Miss Charterls," he said
on the following night, ”1 want to buy
that place."

"What place?” ehe asked qujckly.
"Why. Hurst Abbey.”
"But It Is not for sale."
"Oh, any place Is for sale If enough la
offered."
"But"—ehe began.
"Don’t worry about It," he Interrupt
ed her; "I have written to the lawyers.
By the way, you don’t know who owns
It?"
"I—seem to have heard,” she said,
"once: but," she went on, aa If trying
to remember. "I am afraid I can’t tell
you the name. But why do you want
to buy It?"
“Mnke It useful," he eald shortly.
"But how?"
"Pull It down."
"Oh!”
"Turn It Into a sugar refinery.”
"You dare not!” she cried Indignant

"No use! I—I—” She said no mor*.

He did not wait for the post on the
following morning, but crept down ear

nouse, where the air seemed to lie In
luminous strata. <
"Ought to be somewhere here,” ha,
said quietly, and he walked noiselessly
Into the kitchen, where the cat rose,
awned and looked at him, then at the
loots he held In hla hands.
"Ah, here we are!" he exclaimed at
last as he descended a step Into a little
brick-lloored room. The bump his head
made In the whitewashed celling le
there to this day. "Bruahea—blacking.
Clean my own boots? Of course! Well”

Carlton; but I don't like to have Jew
eled knobs In my boots. Confound it!
It burst. Hullo, puss!” he went on, ea
he aaw the cat sitting on the threshold
gaxlng at him.
Bang, down went one boot, and he
picked up the other.
"Often have cleaned my boots, and"—
"Mr. Floyd!"
"Madam?" And he bowed to her
profoundly, boot in hand.
"What are you doing?”
"Dirty work makes clean boots.”
"But I won't have It."
"Oh, yea, you will Miss Charter!*,
till Annette"—
"There lan’t an Annette,” ehe aald ex
citedly, and she took a step forward.
"Thought as much,” he said grimly.
"But," she began, and then ehe turned
away sharply, for there came a rat-tat
at the outer door.
“Postman," he said. "Shall I go.
“No, of course not!" And ehe darted
ofr, to return In a minute bearing a
letter In her hand.
You don't trust me,” he said as na
took It.
"Why should I?” ahe exclaimed.
"Oh, Just because you should.”
He read that letter, and then read It
again. It began: "Dear Sir: In an

not quite satisfactory, since soon aticr

“Who tells you?"
He looked at her quite calmly.

"No more It Is."

the lounge chair In the comer of the

"What do you wish to say?
"I want,” he cried. "I want to buy

"To make It a sugar refinery? »he
asked, and there was a suspicion ot a
smile at the coraera of her mouth.
