Who that sees one bound outward, with
her white breasts swelling and heaving,
rs If with a reaching expectancy, does
not feel his own heart swell with a
longing impulse to go with her to the
faroh shores: Even at dingy, crowded
wharfs, amid the stir and tumult Of
great cities, the coming in of ship is
an event that never can lose its inter.
est. But on these romantic shores Of
Maine, where all is so wild and still
and the blue sea lies embraced in the
arms of dark, solitary forests. the sud-
den incoming of a ship from a distant

the waters hiss and foam before hcrl

she throws ont her anchors, as if she

for HIM to turn the money over have been
in vain.
dence yesterday and fully confirmed the
truth of this matter.
Third, that he worked the same trick on
Kavanaugh & Co. of 402 Third street.
They themselves, it is said do not know
just how much he has collected for them,
but it is believed to be a considerable sum.
Ali efforts to bring him to terms in this
instance have proved futile.
Fourth, that on the strength of his Off
cial position ir the Woodmen he had OBJ
tanned from President C. A. Davis of the
California Mutual Benefit Society COM
mission as agent or solicitor for that soci-
ETY. some months ago. He obtained many
members, 1t is claimed, but never turned
in any fees paid by the new mem bers. On
account of this a few weeks ago President
Davis took his commission from him. and
told him that if he heard of his obtaining
any more members he would prosecute
him.
Among the specific instances that may
be mentioned of Wilkins crooked work
among his brethren in the lodge is that of
Richard Fahy contractor, residing at 514
noe street.. w llhluS Went 10 see LII sew
eral times and importuned him for money
on some pretense or other. In TINS in
stance he was unsuccessful.
About year ago he borrowed some
sixty odd dollars from j. w. Stanheart
and DR.. G. w. Daywalt. He pretended
to have received about $500 worth of por
trait work and that he did not have money
to buy the material. Stanheart after
ward found out that his representations
were entirely false and acquainted Day
walt with the fact. The money has never
been recovered.
Dr. Daywalt was seen at his offices in
the Murphy building yesterday. He said
the sum was tritiing and he should have
paid no attention to it, as be thought at
the time the man was in hard luck, but
lately he had discovered that the man had
been fleeing others and thought it time
to stop him.
Wilkins, it is said, also took an active
part in organizing White Rose Circle No.
l. woman's adjunct of the Woodmen.
On account of his activity he was elected
treasurer. When it was believed that
large enough amount of money had accu-
mulated to meet expenses Wilkins was
asked for the money. but no amount of
persuasion could make him produce it.
AS result the circle was obliged to dis
band,
1t was also stated by one of the members
of the delegation yesterday that Wilkins
has recently been associated with DR.. Hal
pruner in his idealistc cooperative San
Jose Railroad scheme, and had managed
to fleece him too.
The deleg alton decided that immediate
action was necessary, and telegram was
sent to the head office st Denver advising
that his commission as State organizer for
the Woodmen be Cancelled at once. 1t was
also decided that action be taken with re-
gard to his expulsion from Golden Gate
Camp next Wednesday evening.
Kavanaugh Brothers, it is said, have
been trying TO find Wilkins for ten days.
If he is found he will be arrested at once.
AS no one has seen him for several days it
is believed that be has absconded.
