If one touch of nature makes all the

Not knowing her name, the writer-a

evidently waiting for some one, and
was continually glancing at her watch.
The City Hall clock had just struck
one, when the door leading into the
corridor opened, and a tall, handsome
young man. neatly dressed, and bear

The Mystery Surrounding Mr. Piles
Death Not Yet Solved

The Mystery Surrounding Mr.. Piles
Death Not Yet Solved
Washington, August aal1.-The police
thus far have failed to secure any clue to
the mystery surrounding the death of \.
ii. Pile, Il son of a former Western gov
ernor, who has been in temporary charge
of the silver national headquarters.
When the body was found in the Potomac
the shoes and hat were missing and these
are being searched for There is n theory
that he was the victim OF knock out
drops at some of the up river gambling
resorts, but this is in part overcome by
the fact that his silver watch was found
on him. The funeral, arrangements will
await the coroner's inquest tomorrow.
1t is stated that Pile had been drinking
when last seen on Tuesday night IL week
ago. He was fond of games of chance.
While no evidence of foul play has been
found the police have found nothing to
indicate that the dead man committed
suicide. They are generally inclined to
the belief that his death was accidental
1t may be that because of the excessive
heat he went over to the river front and
removed his shoes and hat in order to
get cool. and accidentally fell overheard
