friend, and resides in another part of the city,
she believes his story, wondering. at the same
time, at her frien 8 interest in the man. The
mystery is solved, however, when, after the mans
departure, she finds her card basket partially
emptied, and she concludes that her friends

spoken of above makes these calls for the pur-
preliminary to making a burglariOus raid. He

Although the news brought by the cable Of the

band the Marquis Of Lorne is startling 1t can
scarcely be called, to those who are acquainted
with the cdncdn Of London society, entirely unex-

spirit-not, perhaps, OF disoyalty, but OF dspo-
sltion TO ridicule and grid at the doings OF the
Court-which prevailed 80 extensively two years
ago, and was opportuney checked by the illness OF
the Prince OF Wales, has again commenced TO crop

On Thursday Captain Kennedy, of the Sixth Pre-.
cinct reported to Coroner Kessler that James Con-
lahan, man nearly sixty years of age had died
