WHAT SAID THE wlNpi
Her thought. ]

Her thought
The wind is waving all the trees;
They whisper in the sun,
And ever through the sweet, warm grass
The Maynard shadows run.
oh, turn you here or turn you there,
The thought will not away
That love comes as the wind comes
And none may say it nay.
His thought
The wind is scattering the leaves,
The clouds rush up the sky,
The vagrant snowhakes find no rest,
But whirl and toss and fly,
And still thought wanders with the wind,
Returning but to say,
ooh, love goes as the wind blows,
And none may bid it stayl'

MYSTERY YET UNSoLVED.
No Light Shed on the Child Found on
Ash Dump.

The identity of the person who de-
posted the body of a dead born infant
on an ash heap near the Scranton
Railway company's power house on
Friday has not yet been revealed, and
it remains for the police to solve the
mystery.
Coroner Roberts held an autopsy in
the case on Saturday and determined
that the infant was still-born. The
parties who deposited the body on the
ash dump evidently were familiar with
child birth, as materials and drugs
used in such cases were found on the
body.
DR.. Roberts did not deem an inquest
necessary, but believes the police
should investigate the case.
The child's skull was crushed, but
the coroner decided that this was
caused by surgical instruments at the
child's birth. Chief Robling told n
Tribune man last night that he was
perfectly satisfied with the coroner's
finding. The police do not attach
much importance to the fact that the
body was so carefully wrapped in u
night-robe and cotton. That and some
other circumstances show that the
child was born into a family of some
means.
