the British Government for supplying Nassau
with tho mails. and one OF tho jolliest and best
known OF Now Workers. WAS walking down Bay
street Just when the reporter was going In the
other direction. staring his eyes out at the
first cocoanut. banana. and other tropical
trees that he had ever seen. Anything Quieter
than Nassau was Mt that moment has never
been seen. The d0rkies and donkeys were a.
most asleep on their legs. The British union
jack had laziy wrapped itself around the pole
In front OF the Governors house. Tho reporter
was whistlng loudly to remind himself OF New
York. Suddenly he met Mr.. Parsons. and told
him that the dynamiter. Fish. had left some
mention OF his name and that Of q Mr.. Lidger-
wood. a temperance advocate on Broadway
among his post-mortom effects. Mr.. Parsons
had never heard OF Fish, and knew nothing Of
what had happened In New York. and so the
whole story came out. The reporter told him
all about 1t. and Mr.. Parsons repeated 1t to u
co!nspicuous merchant.
