CHAPTER XIX.-CoNTIHUED.

AT this juncture the Office boy re-
turned with the parcel for the doctor,
aud they saw that he was accompanied
by Miss Huntington.
81 do hope you will pardon my intru-
sion,s she said, humbly, to Hendricks,
who had hastily risA to meet her, hut
it seemed impossible to wait longer at
home. Won't you tell me If you have
made any progress?"
."We've made some in the right direc-
tion," said Hendricks, rehectively.
''Come, sit down a moment. You look
.awfully cold. You have met DR.. Lamp
kin, and this is Sergt. Denham, of the
detective bureau. We are all working
for you"
"You say you have done something"
faltered the young lady, as she sat down
near the radiator. "Oh, l do hope-I am
almost afraid to ASK"
In her agitation she seemed unable to
conclude her remark.
"We know where Bantinni ~" eX-
plained Hendricks, "and, as you know,
we have reasons-strong reasons, in
fact. for believing that Mr.. Gieow was
in his power only few days ago. You
must not be too hopeful, however, for
YOU must realize that it would be
against Bantinni's interests to allow
your friend to live and be "A witness
against him. Pardon me for not be-
ing able to put the situation before you
AaOre delicately, but do not want to
raise false hopes"
They saw her shrink under the words

more hopeful ring into his tones as he
went on:

the necessary medicines. We were just
getting ready to start
"Have you yourself any hope that
Mr.. Gielow may be found aliye?" asked
the young lady as she rose.
Hendricks looked down.

fate on his statement, made perhaps
Cwo days ago, that he was starving
"0h, don't say that!" cried Miss
Huntington.
'You see" went on Hendricks, as they
all moved towards the door, "Bantinni
placed him in confinement for pur-
pose. II he had not desired that Gle
low should be kept alive for awhile he
would have put him out of the way at

A Horse Thief Caught

(From Our Layton CorIespondent.)
On Wednesday night of last week
a horse belonging to John V. Ma
jor, was stolen from the stables of
VIM. Major, one mile north of Tut
ties Corners. Soon after the theft
was discovered Mr.. Major promptly
telephoned the towns within reas-
enable radius, an exact description
of the horse, and then in company
with Constable Manning Hotaling
started in pursuit. Being just after
the rains of Tuesday night the
tracks were quite plain, though the
theft gave them considerable trouble
at various cross roads by turning to
one side, and following the side road
for q distance, and then coming
back on the sod alongside to the
road he intended to follow, and
keeping on the sod for distance on
that also, They soon got on to his
ruSe and followed at pretty good
pace. Between Vaudeville and
Flatbrookville they came on tracks
of the horse coming towards them.
On inquiry they found that a boy
had seen the horse feeding along
side the road with bride on, and
thinking some one would call for
him tied him safely in a stable.
Major and Hotalen drove on about
three miles when they came upon
their man sitting by the roadside.
They drove rapidly to him, and
springing out secured him without
resistance. After hearing before
a Justice in Newton, where he gave
his name as John Coons, and was
otherwise very reticent, he was
handed over to Sheriff Address as
an addition to his already too large
and rapidly growing family in the
Hotel de Lookup.

would hardly be satisfactory to the

are in bad position, for there new

In a personal letter to the chief of

Promotion, of the National Export
Exposition, General Joseph r. Haw-
ley, United States Senator from Con-
necticut, who was president of the
Centennial Commission of 1876,
writes:
81 am complimented by the re-
quest you make of me concerning
the proposed National Export Elk
position of American manufacturers
to be held in Philadelphia this fall.
1T will be impossible for the bust
ness world TO devise any scheme of
the kind that would not be deserv-
ing of the hearty support of all the
citizens and the good will of the
whole country.
"It was one of the highest hon
ors of my life that 1 was president
of the Centennial Commission of '76,
from the beginning to the end. OF
course we should have failed had it
not been for the powerful, patrio-
tic and constant support of all of the

The Entertainment.

The evening spent at Brown s
Hall, July 1st, was one of the most
entertaining that Milford people
have enjoyed this summer. So en-
Enthusiastically was it received that
already we hear echoes from neigh
boring towns with an urgent request
that the comedi es be repeated with
in their limits.
The humorous little one act
comedy, 1.-Two Flats and a Sharp, "
presented by Miss Lulu Lewis, Miss
Noyes and DR.. Won der Hyde reveal
ed much talent as each one lost their
identity in the characters they so
we'll portrayed.
During the intermission Mrs. Won
der Hyde delighted the audience by
singing A Day Dream" in charm
ing manner.
"Outwitted" was the second
comedy, and the difficult and laugh
able situations were most naturally
pictured by Mrs. Won der Hyde,
Miss Edith Lewis and John De G.
Van Etten, each taking with the
greatest ease their respective parts
of the scene.
After again listening to a very
| pretty vocal solo by Mrs. Won den
Hyde Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce, ot
"Arisbee" closed the entertainment
with II scene from "The Toodles.

Where the Compass Came From.

The earliest references to the use
of the mariners campass are to be
found in the Chinese history, from
which we learn how, in the sixty
fourth year of the reign of Hoang-
IL 1884 b C.) the Emperor attack
ed Tchi-yeon, on the plains ofTchou
lou, and, finding his army embar-
rassed by a thick fog raised by the
enemy, constructed an instrument
for indicating the south, so far as to
distinguish the four cardinal points,
and was thus enabled to pursue his
adversary and capture him.
The power of the loadstone to
communicate polarity to iron is said
to be for the first time explicitly
mentioned in a Chinese dictionary,
finished in A. D. 121, where the
loadstone is defined as "a stone with
which an attraction can be given to
the needle"
The Chinese appear to have once
navigated as far as India by the aid
of the compass.-Pearson's Weekly.

anything to mar their completeness.
The parade, in the order named, WIS
unusually good and the fire and hose
companies presented a fine appear
ance with their gaily decorated ap-
paratus. The marshals j. H. Ryder
Chief, with J. B. VanTassel, j. G.
Bull and Howard Reed assistants
kept the procession moving in ex-
cellent order. Preceding came
carriage containing the readers and
orators, followed by the Town Coun-
Gil, fire chief and assistants, then
the band and that typical Uncle
Sam, Thos. Truax, led Sawkill Hose
with their neat uniforms, followed
by the boy fire company command
ed by Percy Hart, foreman, the
youthful crowd emulating their
elders in appearance and bearing,
with Var ardermark Hose sprucely
attired in white shirts, following.
Next came a handsomely trimmed
float bearing most of the feminine
youth and beauty of the town with
q rear guard of blue shirted Hook q
Ladder men who presented a very
manly appearance. Some monde
script and advertising conveyances
followed which more or less anus

Carpenter and Rev'ds Thos. Nichols
and w. r. Neff each made brief
but witty and we'll chosen addresses
which were greatly appreciated by
their hearers. Degan essayed the
creased pole and by aid of a boost
reached the dollar mark. The sack
race was something of a fake and
was won by an outsider who was
very slightly encumbered. The
base ball game between a home
nine and the Matamoras chaps prov
ed cinch for the latter and the
score was too ont-sided, II to 2 to be
of surprising interest. The batter
les on either side were about all
there was of it, and the game was
prematurally ended by Isl" who
undertook to flatten out the earth
reaching for a fly. The exploit left
both him and the game in a collap-
sed condition.
The ball in the evening was u
huge success. The room was crowd
ed and the receipts beyond expecta-
ton. Altogether the day netted
the firemen the neat sum of $3.50.
Some fine fireworks were shown
in the evening, L. w. Armstrong
as usual, delighting a large crowd
with his display. The day passed
without violations of law, and in an
orderly manner, barring the noise
which began too early IN the morn
ing and was too sistently contin-
ued, to the great discomfort of
many would-be sleepers.

An Earnest Appeal
Oh, strong yonug man, so debonair,
Rv mOuntain vale or COO

Oh, strong yonug man, so debonalr,
By mountain, vale or sea,
Be careful of the tender hearts
This summer racked by thee
Thou art so needed by the girls
Upon the ballroom floor,
To help them "float' to pull the boat
To flirt upon the shore,
To aid them in the hillside climb
Or in their hunt for flowers
As thou art brave, be merciful;
Do not missue thy powers
If Sophie should receive thy smile,
Give Genie, dear, a glance,
With Josie pace the sands a while,
And then with Jennie dance.
Swing Lettie high into the air,
And then with Daisy bike.
Take Florence for little drive,
But treat them all alike.
For if thou showed a preference
The rest would faint or freeze.
Divide themself among them all
automatically, please
