Glass of Port.
SHIPPED BACK TO BERKELEY.

Young Mr.. Heydenfeldt of Berkeley
University is home again. but from ex-
actiy what "toreign shore he has not as
yet explained.
For some days Mr.. Heydenfeldt had
been numbered among the missing. His
classes, his boarding house and the homes
of his relatives had known him not, and
many had been the conjectures regarding
his disappearance.
Doubtless. if it had not been for the fact
that the young collegian was known to be
an especial friend of the Rev. Kenneth j.
Duncan. the Howard Presbyterian Church
divine, his deviation frou the straight and
narrow path of everyday college life would
have attracted little attention outside the
university walls. As il was, however.
Rev. Mr.. Duncan'S assertion that he had
spent his unauthorized and unexpected
vacation with this youthful friend created
widespread interest in Mr. Heydeuf feldts
movements and whereab bouts, which was
in no way due to his own personality.
AS is well known, the Miss On-street
shepherd returned to his flock some time
since. but Mr.. Heydenfeldt remained iu
seciusiOn-a secluslOn so deep and mys-
terious that at last detectives were also
employed to look him up. and success
fully.
Yesterday afternoon Detective Anthony
ran across he young man on Geary street
and Stralghtw ay expressed him over to the
university. Although his disappearance
had caused a decided sensation in the
pretty liItle town, his return was unber-
aided and uncelebrated. Indeed, at a late
hour last evening Berkeleyltes were still
talking OF his absence, all unaware that,
his wanderings over for the time being, he
was safely in bed at his boarding-pla

upon the doorstep and rang the bell until,

An inquiry for Mr.. Heydpnfpldt brought
that erTatlc youth, somewhat unwillingly,
from the privacy of his chamber, TO which
he had apparently retired for the night.
although IL was as yet only a tritie past
O'Clock.
Mr. Heydenfeldt proved to be a slender,
SmOoth-faced, good-l0Oking boy of Is or 19
years. with dark curly hair and a rather
EN- mbarrassed manner. which was quite
natural under the circumstances. He evil

this particular evening. but was civil,
though rather uncOmmOnl catlVe. Direct
questions were necessary in order 10 ex-
tract any in formation whatever from him.
aud although he did not absolutely refuse
10 answer any he omitted to notice several

had spent the time since his departure
from his usual haunts he declined to COM
init himself He said, however, that Rev.
Mir. Duncan's statement that they had been
together during the ministers absence from
dIty was perfectly true.
MIR. Duncan was with me three DAYS
and one evening" he said, but in what
locality their erTant feet were rowing he
did not state.
When asked if his friend had seemed in
his usual health, both mentally and bodily,
