members of the cast understood why
the girl was 30 reserved. SO quiet and so
different.
One day she left the house and
boarded street car for the beach. Her
actions were queer and she attracted
the attention OF the conductor. Finally
she asked him for sheet of paper and
pencil, and when they were given to her
she wrote another note to friend and
asked the conductor to mail 1t. When
she left the car the conductor read the
unsealed note, which said:
The moon is just peepifg over the hills
on my way to death. hope you are happy
tonight. am In anticipation Of what will
happen.
The conductor of the street car
warned the train men on the beach
train. The conductor watched the girl,
and just before reaching the beach he
spoke to her and said that he believed
she intended to kill herself. She con-
fessed that such was her purpose.
my mind Is made up" she said, firm
ly, land tonight / will die"
When he arrived at the beach the
conductor warned the men at the life
saving station, and Richard Blum, one
of the crew. was detailed to watch her.
Blum followed the girl as she walked
down on the beach. He stood in the
shadows of pier rs she gazed out over
the shimmering sea. lighted by the
moon an hour or two above the horizon.
She finally threw herself on the sand
where she could hear the ripping waves.
For an hour she remained motion.ess.
The solitary watcher in the shade grew
cod and went to the life-saving station
after a warmer coat. When he returned
the girl was gone.
In the morning her body was found.
She had removed her jacket and waist
and had folded them carefully before
leaving them by pie urder the pier.
Then she had piled sand in her under
