on the promenade and he appears less
frequently on the streets and at his old
haunts about town. He sticks close TO

usually takes a ride the trolley or in
his carriage evenings. Fitzsimmons occa-
sionally rides by the Corbett cottage while
he is out on his horse. He passed there
on Tuesday with Mrs. Fitzsimmons and
babies following in the carriage. The Cor

menacing. The summerites are still on
the lookout for chance meeting of the
