TORONTO'S ERRORS,
Were Chiefly Responsible for Stranlon's

sey Played First for Barons.
S.eeinl to Serantoii Triliune.
Toronto, Aittf. 1. Scranton won the
first name of the present series with To
ronto chiclly liecause the Canadians
were verv "otlish" ill their field play.
The hitting honors were even and so
was tile pitchiuii:. l.ovott and Dunn
were very wilil. The Kaiue was played
in a drizzling rain.
Il was .Massey'.s first uranie for Scran
ton. He failed to Kef it hit and made
two errors, but an improvement in his
work is expected as soon as lie recovers
from his Idle spell of the last ten days.

dents in Alderman Millar's court Satur

of non-support, assault und battery and
threatening to kill.
The wife's testimuny that she had to
do all manner of menial labor to sup
port the family was denied by the hus
bund, who accused her of swearing
falsely. Thus the little boy, who was
with his mother, was put unon the
stand. He corroborated the evidence of
his mother and, in reply to the alder
mun's question as to how he received a
cut on his head, said his father had
thrown him down stairs and beaten
him.

AN AMERICAN BEAUTY, i
BY IIARRIET FItESCOTT SrOFFOKD.
Copy right, lima, by the Baeheller Syndicate !
SYNOPSIS.
Newport harbor Is ullve with beautiful
pleasure craft, Kat tiered there to witness
or tuke part In the annual races. Honoria
Hensler has come on board the Neckan,
the yacht of her rich Y'aiiderwater cousins.
She Is rich In beauty and a., feminine
charms, hut not In worldly goods, and Is
engaged lo marry Chauncey Parkes, a poor
but brilliant college professor. Among
other guests ure Charley clisborne, a com
monplace young man, a distinguished for
eign prince, und Airs. Delinrtt Dennelt, a
social leader. While at dinner that night
a stranger yacht am hors very close to
the Neckan. It moves to be the 'Pen
dragon," In which Str Brooke Heltaiiley,
a rich mine owner and heir-presumptive
to u dukedom, and his friend, txnd Cads
den, are going around the world. The
races have brought them to Newport. Mrs.
Dennett is delighted at this news, for
Sir Brooke's aeiiualntanee is an acquisi
tion of her Loudon social career. .Mean,
while, from the Pendragon, Sir Brooke has
noticed the beautiful Honoria on the bril
liantly llnlited deck of the Neckan. She
Is simply clad In white silk and has a long
stemmed Ainei l. nil Beauty rose pinned to
her waist. Lord Uadsden exnlains who
she Is and calls her "the best equipped
tl'rt In these or any other wafers." He had
met her while In America the year before.
He tells ot her beauty and of her cold,
heartless nature. Sir Hrooke Is Immense
ly interested und resolves to meet her.
He also recognizes Mrs. Dennett.
PART II.
If Miss Ilonora H'-iisler had not had
assurances to that effect In plenty, sic!
could hardly have looked In her mirror
without knowing thut she was an ex
ceedingly beautiful woman. When she
stood up In the full glow of the electric
lights, with her white gown and her
red rose, while the Italian dropped the
wrap on her shoulders, she was quite
well aware that the fleet was not so
widely scattered that she was not the
center of many eyes with or without
a glass In all that circumambient durk
ness. And she was not at all sur
prised when, at an early hour next
morning. Sir Brooke and his friend pre
sented themselves, ostensibly to pay
their compliments to Mrs. Dennett
Dennett, und by the way to make some
WHTLB THE ITALIAN DROPPED
THE WRAP ON HER SHOI.'LDERS.
arrangement- for seeing the day's race
to better udvantugo than on board the
big Pendragon, und really to see herself.
Breakfast was still oti, and the young
men did not seem to be unkindly dis
posed to be cheerful little compound of
cracked ice and something else that, was
brought them; and they were already
quite well acquainted with Laura Van
derwater, the wife of Jack Pepperidge,
one of the men whose boats were to
follow the race, and who had come with
her court for Honoria, .when the prince
came up.
"Prince what?" exclaimed Billy to
Lady ChriHtopher. And he gazed with
a puzzled air at Sir Brooke, who was
staring straight ahead and pulling hl.
mustache as if princes were hardly in
his set; and Billy stared straight ahead
und pulled his mustache.
"Jolly go." said Billy, presently,
"what will you do?"
"Give him line," said Sir Brook".
"If he's by way of seeing the races let
him see all he wants. Fun to see
him."
"And go one better." snld Billy.
And then Houora appeared wearing
a great red rose still, and clad In close
fitting white water-proof stuff, little
rings loosed from her hair bound away
in braids beneath the visored cap; and
no one looked at any one else.
"We were all saying." jiuld Mrs. Den
nett Dennett, 'after the salutations,
"that this Is perfectly reckless."
."Perfectly line," said Mrs. Pepper
idge. "Perhaps It Is a little rash," said
Honoria. "But I am a sea bird. And it
is a wild madness I may never have
another chance ut."
"We ure Just two of the crew," said
Mrs. Pepperidge; obey orders, and be
utiimated ballast. I always go with
Jack, you Know. And he has let me
fetch Honoria for a mascot."
"I shall make him flug with my own
hands," said Honoria.
"Fortunate fellow." said Billy,' who
had met his fate with fortitude.
"I only w ish Jack had built a boat!"
"More fun than a goat," said Charley
(llsborne.
"Than a goat?" said Sir Brooke.
"How Is that?" But no one found time
to enlighten him.
"Well, us il Is." said Mrs. Pepperidge,
"I suppose we're not In It on the Flyinff
Scud, though Jack says we are. He
takes odds that we shan't be far away.
1 suppose you've raced at home. Sir
Brooke?"
"I should like lo race here," he said.
The lady looked ut him a. moment.
"Able seaman?"?" she asked. He nod
ded. "Come on then. I'll make It right
with Jack. We'll send a bund ashore.
But you know hat It Is? I'nder water
hulf the time rather nerve-bracing.
Honoria hasn't any nerves."
And rather wondering about the
nerves. Sir Brooke went for his wet
weather rig and found himself before
long on the way to the Flying Scud,
where she hung, dipping her pretty
nose In the water, Impatient as a teth
ered wild creature, with the wind blow
ing, the water curling, and all the fleet
of sulls spreading, changing, skimming
and maneuvering, and all the steam
yachts pulling and signaling and shriek
ing, and the three towering white
beuutles getting Into line as they could
for the hindering boats, only one cross
ing the line on the second, off at the
gunshot like three arrows from the bow,
past the Reef and out to open sea. In
a moment or two the Flying Scudwas
swelling out her linen and after them:
and not all the Interest of the fleet, by
any meuus, centered on the three other
racers.
"1 have shipped an able seaman, Mr.
Pepperidge," said Sir Brooke, "and as
such you must command me."
"Well, Sir Brooke," said Mr. Pep
peridge, "I think you'll earn your pus
sage. "Its going to be a wet trip; but
If the Flying Scud dueen't show them
all a clean pair of heels she'll be In close
alongside the winner. There's soine
nioney up. of course, you know, we've
got to keep our distance, but we're
going to make our time!"
Under 110 better circumstances could
Sir Brooke have opened the little cam
paign he had promised himself; for
when he was not occupied doing sea
man's duty, he was beside Honoria
with a freedom it might have taken
weeks of more formal acquaintance to
win.
"Well, you like If." he said, as a wave
poured over her, the sua struck it,
and she emerged shining In u perfect
halo of Iridescence.
"The next best thing to being a wave
yourself!" she said. And there was
something as splendid as the sea and
wind and sunshine lit the girl's intre
pidity. As for Mrs. Pepperidge, she
had her husband, and was more at
home at sea than on shore; and a cer
tain chivalric feeling lor the girl as
serted Mself In him. to be us instantly
crushed by her very evident power of
tajilng care of herself.
The wind freshened. They almost
forgot about the other yachts iu the
delight of their own sailing as, beating
up to windward, they mounted and
soared like a bubble on the great waves
that hammered the bows and broke be
neath the keel, as they dipped into
green hollows and the crests powdered
over them, as they forged on with the
lee rail under wuter und lay flat along
the windward rail to trim the boat, and
saw the huge wnve toweling over
them stooping and lifting them In Its
grusp, and now felt like a straw list
in the power and play of the elements,
and now challenged them with gay de
fiance; on one side, the sea a waste of
weltering gray and white waters, and
on the other a stretch of tumbling Sap
phire and silver some sense of danger
and some pride of during and overcom
ing, the tonic of the strong air, and a
keen exhilaration, making their spirits
rise and race with the boat and the bit
lows. And then they lifted their heads
and lost themselves as the three beau
ties before them swept around the
stake-bout, and with the breuklng of
the thread out-swelled the spinnakers
In vast opaline clouds that took a rosy
tint, sweeping on and up like gigantic
moth-like creatures of some other at
mosphere dropped on the waters here
with wide-spread wings. And nt the
Instant every valve of every whistle In
the boat waiting on their coming
sprang open, and a chorus of bourse
and of shrill blasts scattered the air.
"Hark!" cried Honoria. "Listen
Lauru! Do you hear it? It Is. the hunt
music in Tristan!"
"By Jove, so It is!" Bald Sir Brooke,
as the wonderful chorus rose and fell
and rose again. "And quite on the seal.?
of the occasion. Ah, here we go our
selves!" And rounding the siake-boat
In their turn, their own spinnaker
caught the wind, and they followed full
breasted as a mighty swim.
"We shall make It." said Mr. Pep
peridge. "That settles II. There's noth
ing bents the Flying Scud before the
wind!" Ami they rushed along with
flic wind blowing rainbows out of the
water and the following sea seething
und hissing behind them In a vast sweet
resonance.
"Oh!" cried Honoria. glittering and
streaming with the spray, "I wouldn't
have missed it for a year of my life!
The great sea balloon! The rush of it!
The music of the tremendous murmur!"
"You should be a daughter of the
Vikings," said Sir Brooke.
"I suppose It Isn't a great way from
the Viking to the Puritan. An then
throw In u little of the Dutch, who were
born, like the halcyon, iu a nest of
water, and there you have It."
"nd while you are looking up your
sea people remember some gold-haired
Venetian grandmother or other." said
Sir Brooke, looking at the bright und
dripping braids.
"Dots the prow of the gondola strike on
the stall ?
Do the voices and intruinents pause and
prepare?
I am passing preme but I stay not for
you,
Preme not for you!"
sang Honoria.
"Perhups. sometime," he said, with
a sudden daring which she knew she
hurt brought upon herself by her song,
"I may hear you sins the rest ot it.
"I am coming sciar and for you und to
you,
Seiar- und to you!"
Honoria hestitated, an angry wojjd on
her tongue, a thought of Chauncey and
of his light to resent this flashing into
her eyes. Still here was a man. the
owner of all those fine titles and places
that Mrs. Dennett Dennett had hinted
about, the possible and probable heir to
n dukedom, too. She might say: ".Sot
this morning some other morning;"
she might say: "Kindly wait till I do."
and descend into a vulgarity matching
his Impertinence. She did Hie best
thing possible; she said nothing, and
lookeil directly before here. And Sir
Brooke Beltanley thought he had never
seen so radiant a beauty us hers was In
the virgin Hush of her Indignation, the
blue of the skies and the seas mirrored
in her great topaz eyes till they flushed
with a green splendor. And then the
necessity or putting himself right with
her made his heart beat more than any
plunging Into any hollow of the sea, or
swelling of spinnakers, or unison of
steam whistles making Wagnerian mu
sic, had done.
"I forgot myself," he said. "You are
enough to make a wiser man do so. And
as for you, come," he snld; "you must
forgive a moment's presumption that
borrowed some of the freedom of all this
freedom of sea and air and camara
derie!" "How long have you known me, Sir
Brooke?"
"Forever!" he exclaimed.
"Oh thank you," she laughed; "I am
not so old."
"A goddess Is neither old nor young."
"Does otie come out here in the waste
of waters to hear the platitudes of ball
rooms?" she asked, and she rose a little,
for they were still half lying along the
deck, tne wind that was with them
meeting the running tide and making a
sea whose spray swept them fore and
aft.
"I have been told that I am a goddess
till I have a contempt for the article.
Would you speak In this way to an Eng
lish girl on a half-day's acquaintance?"
It was just then thut one ot the huge
chance seas thut wind ami tide some
times roll up between them caught and
distracted the helmsman's eye for half
an Instant.. In that Instant the boat
had broached tov and. although only a
second was lost In putting her before the
wind again, the helm down, the crew
scrambling to trim ship, and the air
lurid with Mr. Pepperldge's vocifera
tions, yet, they had seemed to drop down
some sinking depth and one of the long,
furiously-chnslng waves had leaped on
board, and, llonoria's hold loosened and
her feet unbraced by her movement. In
another moment she would perhaps
have washed oft with the wave, or, at
any rate, have been struck violently
against the rail, had not Sir Brooke put
out an arm and caught and kept her.
"I would speak to them that way,"
said Iih.
"And they say: Thanks,'" she re
plied, with a laugh, readjusting herself.
"Do you mean to say you weren't
afraid?" he exclaimed. '
"Arrnld? Of what? You don't fear
till you lose hold of yourself, nnd 1 have
never yet felt as If any harm could be
fall me."
"By Jove!" said he. "Not all the wa
ters of nil the seas can quench the tire
in you!"
"Oh!" cried Mrs. Pepperidge, scream
ing to be heard. "I can't hear what you
ure saying, but I don't see how you can

talk at all when it's getting so exciting,
and it's now or never with the Flying
Scud! I am Just holding my breath!"
"Keep on holding It," cried Mr. Pep
peridge, his eyes' fixed on tt point In the
distance. "I wouldn't have you lose it
for a rami."
A few moments of silence as they
swept on with their mad rush. It
seemed to Honoria us If the world were
holding its breath as well as Laura.
"Oh!" she cried again presently, "I
don't know that I wouldn't give a great
deal more than a year of my Ife to have
the Flying Scud come in"
"When one saves another's life,"
nsked Sir Brooke, "has he uny rights in
It?"
"When he saves II?" said Honoiiu.
"Why, you would save a lly's! Have
you any such Idea about mine? But yon
would have caught a falling chair. If
you hadn't hindered me one of the
crew would I don't know that Jack
would have come about with the boat,
but he would have tossed me the life
preservers, and there are all the steam
ers following; and you must take Into
account, too, thut I can swim, Sir
Brooke."
"If all the American girls are so de
cidedly cool," said iSIr Brooke, "the
temperature here oust to be near
zero."
"There they are!" exclaimed Mr.
Pepperidge, "make a note, Pinky!"
And a gun boomed far away, the wind
currying the report Inshore, and only
the atmospheric echo reaching them
strained and refined away, followed by
the tuttl of all the whistles und culls in
a pandemonium of sound us the winner
crossed the lines. "Now, If nil holds,"
he said, "we shall have made the dis
tance ourselves In but ten seconds less
than the winner. In spite of that dashed
blunder just now. That means a pot of
money. Mr. Pepperidge."
"Why didn't you enter?" asked Sir
Brooke.
"Because I was acquainted with those
ten seconds," said Mr. Pepperidge.
"Beastly bore." And while he held his
stop-wnlch, they swept on with every
inch of canvas spread, with every rope
and bolt strained, und deck Wet und
mast still feathered from the sea, they
crossed the line nnd had their own ova
Hon. "Part of that's for Honoria,"
said Mr. Pepperidge.
A little later Sir Brooke handed Miss
Hensler up the side of the Neckan, her
white water-proof dress shining with
the wet and she herself glittering as if
fresh from a dip In briny surf. The
rose at her belt was still untarnished
and glistening Willi salt dew.
"How bright your rose Is still!" he
said. "What do you call It?"
"The American Beauty? Yes, they
are very tine and strong. But dear me,
Its stent is broken."
"It is well named. The American
Beauty.' Shall I have It?" und Sir
Brooke extended his hand.
"Not this one," said Honoria.
