are still being followed in southern

breakfast at the Wallingford hotel

returning at night. Inquiry was
made, and it was learned that he
drove short distance toward the
"Marble city," turned around, passed
again through Wallingford and drove

There he told the proprietor Of the
hotel that he wanted to drive to the
station, as he was expecting some
books, and when he returned he
would pay his bill. He drove around
Dorset awhile and disappeared.

to positive merriment as in ga Northern
