Davaris suspected of stealing the picture.
He comes out from the house in a strange
manner and finds Gladys. She is puzzled at

message, “Did you ever known. man by the

“Games, seven-six, Mr. Havermeyer
wins !” shouts the scorer.
It is a. very exciting point in the tennis
tournament. The finals in the singles are
being played. The match is best three
out of live sets. On the other side of the
net is Thurston. He has two sets;
Havermeyer has two, and this is the de-
ciding one.
Havermeyer begins the fourteenth
game by serving. He swings his racquet
back of .his head, and sends the ball spin-
ning over the net. Thurston returns it,
and runs up. Havermeyer makes a'pretty
back hand stroke and also comes up to
the net. There is a sharp rally. How the
ball ilas hes from one side of the net to the
other. How the sharp accurate strokes of
the racquets cut through the air. How
the faces of the opponents flush. Thurs-
ton is passed, and loses the point.
“Fifteen love I” cries the scorer.
Thurston wins the next three points and
Havermeyer braces up and takes the next
two.
"Deuce!” cries the scorer.
“Vantage out I”
“Deuce I” ' ,
“:Vantage in!”
“Game I”
And Havermeyer has won the tourna-
ment of the year. ,Yet there seems to be
little excitement about it. The club house
piazza is thronged with men in their
natty morning clothes, and the women
with whom they are talking. To be sure
the tournament is not such an important
one; Newport, Nahant, Bar Harbor, and
Southampton have. all come before; yet
. there has been some good tennis, and
the matches have all been close.
Instead of watching the play. the peo-
ple on the piazzas and about the lawu are
for the most . part talking. Here and
there a man is seen who watches the play
with the eye of an expert, but when he
applauds a good shot, he ilnds himself al-
most alone.
Havcrmeyer—little Havermeyer—has
won the tournament, yet he does not feel
so proud over it, as over something he had
done the day before. He feels that he has
been a public benefactor, he feels that he
has done society a good turn by unearth-
ing a man, who if not an imposter, was a
dangerous person to have abOut. He feels
that he has done something for which
everyone should thank him in getting a
man out of town, who ifnot insane was a.
man to cause uneasiness to more than one
person. He feels that he has done a bit
of good detective work, he feels that
people will now look on him and not say,
“That young Havermeyerl” And he goes
into the club house after breaking away
from a group of young fellows, who are
congratulating him, and there he sees a
man whom he stares at good naturedly.
“Great Scott, Lawrenthe, you back?"
. he says.
“Yes,” answers Lawrencedespondently,,
"I’m back}?
“Heard about Davarith?”
“What about Davaris?”
“He ith a Mafia. l”
“A what?" -
“A man with a vendetta, a Mafia, what-
ever you chooth to call it! I found him
out, mythelf. You remember that maid
- Mith Montague had a while ago—she wath
hith thister. I found it out. Mith Mon-
- tague wouldn't believe it but she called
the" maid to her and told hertogo if it
wath true. And it wath'true. ,Then Mith
Montague saw Davarith and asked him
. about it, and he told herapart of hlth
'~ thory. She threw him over and he'hath
gene.. Hith ,thister hath’ gone. too}? ,
Lawrence is mystified. When he hear:
this odd story he is quite at a loss to un-
derstand what it means. .‘ ' .

straight to some extent. It is quite true
that Davaris has gone away, but the real
reason is known only by Langford. Be-
fore Davaris went he told Langford .the
whole story, snatches of which are about
now among the gossips.
The ladies’ maid part of it is true also;
the person who looked through the per-
tiers at Davaris when he was playing to
Gladys Montague- was Davaris’s sister.
Butas to her being a bona—fida maid—-
that is not-true. She merely assumed the
part to further her plans.
The story that Davaris told his friend
Langford is some hing like this:
Ten years ago when Davaris was away
at school in Greece, he was suddenly sum-
moned to his home in Athens. His father
had been shot and was lying at the point
of death. On the night before, the elder
Davaris, Col. Montague, a rich American;
and Cyrus Westerly, an Englishman were
playing cards at Davaris’s home. No one
seemed to know exactly how it happened,
but there was a dispute; aquart‘el; ashot;
a cry; and then—silence. In the confu-
sion that followed, amid the tobacco
smoke and the darkness of the unlighted
room—for the lamp had been overturned—-
the American lied. He left behind him a
revolver, however, one chamber empty.
The wounded man was not dead. He
was tenderly cared for and when his son
arrived he found him sinking fast.
"My son,” the father said, “I am going
soon. Remember the man who killed me.
Find him; punish him. If he escapes his
next of kin should suffer. Yea, let the
sins of the father be visited upon the
children even unto the third and fourth
generation. A life for a life."
It was asolemn scene about that bed-
side. The boy held his father’s hand. He
looked at him witlia look in his youthful
face that transfigured him. . He looked
toward his weeping sister and called on
her to witness that he would do his fath-
erfs will.
When his father was dead, he set out to
find Col. Montague. The Englishman
Westerly was very active in his search,
and did much tb, assist. Detectives were
employed, but were of no avail. Col. Mont-
ague had disappeared.
It was not until sometime after that
they found trace of him, and then it was
only learned that he had died in Home at
an obscure hotel, a victim of Roman
fever.
Young Davaris then went to Paris with
his sister. He left her there with rela-
tives, and went to America to be educated.
He passed through Harvard, and it was
not until his graduation that he learned
Col. Montague had any children. It was
not until tnen that he learned that the
man died a widower, leaving one child—a.
daughter.
It was from his sister in Paris that the
news came. She heard of a girl of the
same name; she followed every movement
she made, and at last became assured that
this girl was the daughter of Col. Mon-
tague.
She then wrote to her brother to come
to Paris. He sailed at once. It was this
trip that caused Langford so much uneas-
iness. It was Helen Davaris’s letter that
he had found in the studio.
For a week or more Davaris remained
on the Continent and in England. Then'
it was learned that Gladys Montague had ‘
returned to America. Davaris followed
her. He spent the entire summer with
Langford, and it was not until they went
to Mrs. I-Iamlyn’s that he succeeded in
finding her.
Helene, becoming alarmed at her broth-
er’s delay, and thinking he had abandoned
the quest, had in the meantime come to'
New York. Davaris when he knew of this
was greatly troubled. He had fallen in
love with Gladys Montague, and he hoped
with his whole heart that there was some
mistake. He contrived to obtain apic-
ture of Colonel Montague—the one he stole
from the library—and he sent it to Helene
to see if it was the. man who had been in
Greece. Davaris himself had never seen
the man who shot his father, being away
at school, but his sister knew him well.
All his fears were realized when Helene
returned the picture with the .assurance
that there was he mistake. The girl’s
father was the man who had been in
Athens. She further urged on Davaris
the necessity of immediate action, and
threatened to come on ,herself. This was
what Davaris feared, and he wrote to her
to stay in New York. She contrived to
obtain a position as lady’s maid, and the
first that Davarls knew of his sister being
at Miss Hamlyn’s, was when he saw her in
the hall looking at him, while he was play-
ing on the violin. It was then that it
came over him that he had no rightto
love Gladys; it was then that he rushed
away only to meet his sister. On that
'same night he waited by a Side-door for
her to come to him, and the result of that
meeting was apparently disastrous to
Davaris. " ' .
When he went back to the hotel that
night he had promised his sister faithfully
that he would remember the vow he had
made. In a. moment the‘ old flame in his
heart burned like ashes glowing fora. time
with a. hidden spark. He remembered
the picture at his dying father’s bedside,
and heard again the weak tones in which
he addressed his son. He remembered
that he was a Greek, and a man with a.
mission. Was he to allow a foolish sen-
timentality to interfere with his honor.
Had he not given his word and must he
not keep it.
"Bavaria sank into a chair and watched a.
, «Irina embers. _ N
Then the civilized side of his nature
spoke out, and it seemed "as. if he could
never do it. He remembered Glady’l’
sweet face, the touch or' her hand, tne
sound of her- voice. Was a sin of her
father’s to dog her all through her days,
until it finally ended iii—what? Davaris
questioned and queried and made excuses
to himself and he half resolved to tell her
the whole sad story and then leaving.
Helene, everything, go away to some far
country and live, and try to forget the old
life. No one "would know him, and per-
haps life would become sweet again, and
the bitter pain, the conflict between hope
and fear, would be no more. f he could
onlv know that the only reason he could
not marry her was because she loved an-
other man, he could manage to get along.
Tobe sure, she would be another’s, but
perhaps sometimes he could see her, and
touch her hand, and hear her voice. And
what if another man had married her?
perhaps he could win her back. Then his
violin—how he loved it. Sometimes when
he stopped to think, he seemed to love it
better than anything else on earth, yea
even better than Langferd or Gladys.
His love for the beautiful instrument with
its gleaming brown sides and its silvery
strings was something he scarcely ever
cared to define. And then nothing in
this world had ever spoken to him like his
VIOIIU. When he was sad it seemed to cry
with him and when he was happy the
violin would speak in joyful tones that
echoed and re-echoed in his heart. If he
had his choice of Gladys or his violin,
which would he take? He shook his head
sadly, and entered the hotel ofiice.
It was very late and the clerk was doze—
ing by the counter. Someone telephoned
about a horse or something of that sort
for Davaris heard the sleepy ofiicial say.
that “the carriage was set at quarter past
eleven as you ordered,” and then he
added something about the “great many
orders theyhad,” and then the clerk went
back to his doze. There was an open
fire in the wide fireplace and Davaris sank
into a chair and watched the dying em-
bers. He scarcely knew how long he was
there; he thought he might have been
asleep, for he was suddenly roused by the
fact. that a half dozen men in evening
dress and long capes had come in and
were lounging about and pulling at cigars.
“Pretty? You call herpretty‘.’ Bosh!" he
heard one of them say in a loud tone.
“She can’t hold a candle to Miss Mon-
tague.” .
Their faces were rather red and they
had evidently had agood deal of cham-
pagne. In fact now Davaris remembered
it, most of the men had very red faces—
that is, men of a certain age, not 'the
young boys and striplings.
“That last dance I had with her
began another man, but he. was inter-
rupted:
“I thought you never danced, Cohl-
son —”
"Sometimes, but this was charming ————”
“Very pretty —”
“And knows something too.”
Davaris closad his eyes and listened to
these fragments of conversation as if in a
dream. He wondered why these men
seemed so interested in what they were
talking about. He wondered if they knew
what was goingon in the mind of that
man by the fireside.
“Come over about 11 for some tennis.”
“About that cob I was telling you—" ,_
‘ “Very good, I’ll see you twmorrow."
Then there was a slamming of doors and
Davaris looked up wearily. They had
gone at last and he was alone again.
He walked over to the desk and idly
looked over the letters in the basket,
more from force of habit than anything
else. He foundone for himself and put it
in his pocket. He then went up to his
room and quite forgot about the letter
except that it was a very thick letter and
covered with many postmarks. Promi-
inent among the postmarks was “Paris,"
but he scarcely remembered this, and if
he did think of it at all he attached no
particular significance to it. .
He knocked on Langford’s door on the
way to his room, and Langford responded
with a cheerful “Yes?”
“Come into my room a few minutes
with me,” said Davaris, "I want to talk to
you.” '
“Where in the dickens have you been?"
asked Langford, as he came to the door
inavery negligeé costume. “Were you
down in the office when I came in? I saw
a very doleful person by the fire, but with
bent head and huddled attitude I didn’t
recognize you. Great Scott, man, how
pale you are! What is the matter? Any
thing wrong?”
“I’m never pale,” said Davaris.
“Well, yellow then, if that suits you
better.”
“You are coming into my room with
me?” said Davaris, and he led the Way.
He didn’t light the gas, but sat down op-
posite his friend by an open window where
he could look out of doors.
“I am going to tell you something that
will surprise you very much,” Davaris
began. “It is none the less true_ for all
that, or none the less serious. You may
believe me if you choose, or you may
think me an insane person. At all events,
I cannot keep this to myeelf any longer.
It is burning in my brain and driving 'me
almost distracted. I want you to tell me
what I must do, and help me.”
Davaris thrust out his hot hand "and
' seized his friend’s cool one and grasped it
with a feverish ardor.
" You won’t think very badly of me, will
you, old fellow. The most I care about it
is that I may lo'se your friendship if I'tell
you the whole sad story, but you’ll hang
by me, won’t you?"
“Of course,” assented Langford thought-
lessly. Then he added in a grave tone;
“I don’t think I Quite understand.”
Then he went on and told him the whole
miserable story, omitting, however, that
the name of the man was Col. Montague,
and that Gladys was his daughter. When
he finished. Davaris looked up at his
friend and asked: “Now what would you
do?” .
Langford hesitated. He didn’t know
what to believe, and what to answer. And
while he hesitated the Greek burst out in
agony :. .
"But the worst of it is that I have fallen
in love with her. . I must love her and yet.
..._" he paused,and Langford looked at
him in wonderment. Then he laughed
lightly. Devan-is frowned, for he was‘dis-
appointed in the way Lsngferd took it.
Thores'eomed to be a hesitancy about him
that he did not like.
' “I know you love Gladys Montague,"
said Lanztord. "_1 have knewn it for ‘a
long time. , [But what of it. Why
you snack of “new?" . . . ..
In that dim light Langford could see the
face of the Greek in dark profile against
the light outside as compared with the
duskiness of the room. He looked at his
Davaris turned his head partly aside it
looked as‘ if out in bronze. But there was
a. quivering about the lips that went to
Langford's heart and he hastened to add:
“I had no right to ask you that ques-
tion, my dear fellow. Of course you love
her and I don’t blame you. She is the girl
I hope to see you marry sometime; it was
my wish when I introduced you to her.
But what is'the matter?” '
“It is impossible for me to marry her,”
said Davaris in a very low tone. “She is
his daughter.”
For an instant Langford was puzzled.
Then he remembered the strange story he
had just heard and in an instant every-
thing was explained. “It was bad enough
as it was but this makes it worse than I
thought,” he exclaimed much alarmed.
Then he added in a horrified tone, as it
he had just realized it, “Good Heavens!
Gladys Montague I”

The Four Tracks in Use.
The Consolidated road has com-
pleted the work of laying new ties and
repairing the road bed of the two inner
tracks between Fairfield and South
Norwalk, and Tuesday trains were
running overall four tracks between
these two points. The two inside
tracks are at present used only by the
express freights,while all local freights
and passenger trains run on the out-
side tracks. Below South Norwalk.
where the improvements to the inside
tracks are not yet completed, all of
the trains run on the outer tracks.
When the road bed improvements are
completed the contemplated arrange-
ment is to have all freight trains run
on the two inside tracks, while the
outer ones are to be used for passenger
traffic only.
Suicide in Bridgeport.
A man registering as John A. Lane,
Philadelphia, shot himself through the
head at the Atlantic Hotel, Bridgeport,
last night. The name is believed to be
fictitious, as some name had been cut
from all his clothing.
The suicide was tall, broad shouldered
and well built. He was evidently a
Hebrew, and had a bald head, a gray
mustache and goatee. The eyes which
were staring wide open when he was
found, were a light brown in celer. He
had on a cheap suit of clothes but good
linen and a new pair of shoes. He wore
a turn down collar and a red tie.
Seventysix cents were found in his
pockets. His baggage, which was in
his room. consisted only of a small
quantity of under clothing, from which
all marks had carefully been removed.

' Weed—Street.
A very pleasant home wedding took
place yesterday afternoon at the resi-
dence of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Street,
on Arch street, when their daughter,
Edith Elizabeth and Samuel Lynes
Weed, eldest son of Mrs. E. P.“ Weed,
> were united in the holy bonds of matri—
mony. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. S. H. Watkins, rector of Grace
church, in the presence of only the'rel-
atives and near friends of the contract-
ing parties. Little Miss Gladdys Street,
a sister of the bride, acted as brides-
maid, while Edward Payson Weed, a
brother of the groom, was best”man.
After the'ceremony was performed and
congratulations had been extended to
the newly married couple, caterer
Mead served an elegant collation of
which all partook, after which Mr. and
Mrs. Weed took the 4.20' express for
New York. Their wedding tour will
extend as far south as Mobife, and they
will probably be gone for some time.
The presents received by the couple
were numerous and costly.

The Woman’s Club.
The Song Recital under the auspices
of the \Voman’s Club, of Norwalk, at
the residence of Mrs. Thomas H. Mori-
son, last evening was a delightful affair
both socially and from a musical stand-
point. Mr. Powers having contracted
a heavy cold which temporarily de-
prived him of his voice, was unable to
appear, but his place was very. accept-
ably filled by Mr. Charles Herbert
Clarke, whose pure tenor voice greatly
delighted his listenefs. ‘ '
Mrs. Alves has a voice of beautiful
quality and remarkable range. She
sang with apparent freedom from con-
straint and with single devotion to the
music entrusted to her, in a manner
both large and fine and with voice ac-
cording to it. The distinctness and
manner of her enunciation called for
unquahfied praise. Mrs. Alves re-
ceived her entire vocal education from
