cidentally made Hinchecliffe. according to
his expression. .one of the happiest men
in the country
Perhaps Hinchecliffe is the only man who
ever found wife in a city directory. and
that is what makes the courtshp and mar

tain If there were any names in the hook
that corresponded with his. He discovered
three names. and came across the river to
learn if they were related to him.
He visited the family on Benton street

futile. During his visit Hncheciffe took n
liking to Miss Hinchecliffe and when he re-
turned to the road he did not forget her
The few letters he sent her Were replied

Notwithstanding the Irish Baronet's con-

Sir Thomas had every assurance from n
sided view that all he has TO do on
August 20 and succeeding days is to take
the third leaf of his Shamrock to the start
ing line and control the destinies of the
mGch-coveted prize. "Wull' Fife, .Jr. has
tod him so and Captain Wringe has echoed
the opinion. The same belief has been re-
peated by everybody connected with the
Liptcn fleet. But this very connection, tinan-
ciaily influenced though it be, is pound
to create more or less enthusiasm with its
natural resources as to false impressions.

The Constitution is the only dangerous
