told them his story. They saw its importance
at once.

"Yes. And anyhow I've got the address in
my notebook, " he replied.
He was taken to the neighborhood and
asked which house it was. He ut once Sc

That is the house., /" said he.

quiry at the house showed that he was not at
home. Tuttle failed to identify the servant
girl. The house was handsomely furnished.
The second floor had several bedrooms on IL.
In one of them was the wife of the doctor,
with an infant child in the cradle by the side
of her bed. She was ill and was very much
the house. Her daughter was n girl Of four
teen.
The servant girl said that ladies =" under
treatment" occasionally would remain at the
house over night or lodge there for q week.
She didn't know of any one who had been
there lately. The driver had mistaken the
house evidently because only the doctors
wife and daughter and herself were there,
and no trunk had been sent away.
The young girl was curious to know what
the matter was,
do you read the papersP" some one
asked her. The dailies had been teeming
with the story for a week. and it seemed in.
credible that she should not have heard OF
the thing.
Papa doesn't let me read the papers. Some.
times I read a story paper, but he don't like
mamma and me to read the daily papers. He
says they are o miserable lot, the whole Of

The wife and girl were evidently sincere
but the servant seemed be playing q bluff

ELECTRICITY ON FOURTH AVENUE.
The Company Wants to Experiment with
Motors in Place Of Horses.

Tho Company Wants TO Experiment. with
Motors in Place Of Horses.
The application of the New York and Har-
lem Railroad Company to the Board Of Alder
men for permission to substitute electric
motors for horses on the Fourth avenue sur
face road will be reported upon by the Com
mittee on Railroads in q few days.
This application gave rise to the inference
that it had resolved to dispense with horses
altogether and definitely decided to apply
the electric system to the whole line. A visit
to the Office Of the Fourth avenue surface
road this morning dispelled this illusion.
Supt. Skitt said to an EVENING WORLD re-
porter: I'VE ask this permission in order
to work an experimental line of ten electric
cars either between the Post Office and the
Grand Central Depot, or between Eighty
sixth and One Hundred and Thirty eighth
streets. Our charter at present expressly
forbids us using cars except those driven by
horses below Fourteenth street. We expect
to get the permission very soon, and will
then build ten special cars with electric at
tachments. .
I'VE shall test them for six months, and
then decide whether to apply the system to
our whole line. Our chief doubt is as to the
cost. We are fairly well satisfied with the
working results. l may say that the progress
of the experiment will be watched with great
interest by surface car companies, not only In
this country, but all over the world"
