Mademoisele Elise was down early at the thea

in the pitilesS daylight. NJ. LOrman was with her.

As changeful and as free,
Sometimes she's angry, sometimes rough,
Yet oft she's smooth and calm enough

Perchance she's fair and kind and bright,
Perchance she's stOrmy-tearful quite

The topic Of conversation and discus.

certalning If the missing man was really
there, and If so to briog him home but
to-day the matter was placed 10 the
hands of Inspector Brynes Of New York
with instructions to cable to the Sydney
police to work up the case, aud II they
found Mr.. Monaghan 90 provide the
necessary means for his return to his
home without delay.
The wife Of the missing lawyer held
fast to the belisf that her husband went
on sailing vessel to Calcutta, aud con-
tinued to hold this idea until the frat
cablegram from Melbourne a vessel
sailed on September 26 for Calcutta.
Ia the minds Of very few people Is there
any doubt that these cableerams
came from r Jones Monaghan. The frs.
message which came from
Melbourne containing the addresses)
had about thirteen words and cost a
little over $4 per word, which would
make the cost OF the first message about
$52 The one which was received on
Tuesday night (not on Wednesday, as has
been stately had nineteen words. which
would cost over $76 thus making the
total cost over $125 It is not plausible
that any stranger would risk that
amount Of money IN the hope Of gaining
only $500. which was cabled for.
The distance from London to Mel.
bourne by water is over 10. 600 miles and
that added to the 5000 miles across the
Atlantic will give the great space which
must exist between Mr.. Monaghan and
the loved ones at home
