with you before Mr.. Drew arrives" is
Jacks reply. Mr.. Drew is the lawyer to
whom the necessary legal transactions in
connection with the VIII have been n
trusted.
'sYou told me that father had said
something about a new will just before
he died; but that none but the old one,
made fifteen years ago, could be found"
remarks Jack to his brother when they
are seated a moment later. The remark
is made with an interrogative infection,
so that Robert feels impelled to reply.
eyes, no other will was found, though
/ searched everywhere. Fathers mind
must have been wandering when he
spoke Of another will"
POSSIBLY; still you probably didn't
think Of searching in the river" is Jacks
next remark.
Robert turns pale; then the blood
surges back and his face becomes al
most purple. "What are you driving
at? what do you mean?" he asks. The
words come like gasps.
Only this. On the night when you
came to tell me of fathers death, some
young men were returning from o fish
ing trip on the river. Just as they were
rowing under the bridge, a missile
thrown from above struck one of them
on the back and fell to the bottom of the
boat. See, this is quite a heavy knife,
and if a piece of paper hadn't been
wrapped about it, it might have hurt
tba voun0 man IL strnck unite sevarely.
The young maj happens to be an ac-
q~uaintance of mine. He thinks the knife
was dropped by some on a railroad
train that was crossing the bridge just
then. Now I merely wish to suggest
that, when Mr.. Drew comes, we give
into his hands this document which fell
into my friends boat, and that we say
nothing about the old will at all How
does the proposition suit yo'lf'

The Jersey City Athletic Clubs Bowiers
Win Again.

The Jersey City Athletic Club BoWiers
Win Again.
The league team of the Jersey City
Athletic Club went TO Staten Island last
night. 1t was a cold night for travelling,
but it was not near as frigid for the
travellers as it was for the islanders.
The Jersey bows came home with banners
waving and colors flying. They had been
victorious .
It was the second game and the second
win for the Jersey Citys. Il was the
third game! anti the third defeat for he
Islanders.
The contest was not marked by big
scores. No fancy figures were put up.
The two best scores were made by two
of the Jersey delegation, Lockwood, who
had 1871 to his credit, and Wadleigh, who
put up ITO. Four of the Jersey City boys
were in the fifty block, two in the thirty
station, one in the twenties, and one fin
ished short of the teens. 1t was a game
slightly below the average.
The Islanders appear to be running in
poor luck. They put up,an average of las
on the Hackensack alleys and had an
average Of 155 at home with the Eliza
beths, and dropped to 140 last night.
The scores follow

sent to the City Hospital this afternoon.
The wound is not necessarily a danger

CHER, who is a strong, hearty young man,
was in no pain at noon
Between the whiffs of a cigarette
which he was smoking just before being
taken to the hospital, he swore eternal
vengeance on his assailant. He says he
was a tall, big, strapping fellow.
He can't imagine who he is, but declares
that a Mrs. McCabe who occupies rooms
in the rear of the upper story of the house
threatened yesterday afternoon to have
him fixed" No arrests have yet been
made.
