The girl said nothing in response to
this assertion, and presently in the
pleasure of her company Lancaster for
got the singular annoyances to which
he had been subjected. He was, if the
truth must be told, man whom most
people thought unamiable, cold. distant
and silent. In reality his heart was
warm enough and his sympathies quick
and acute. but he had had many mis-
fortunes in early life, and they had
left mark upon him. He was of
heavy frame and of stern cast of
cOuntenance. and long continued grief
at certain period of his career had
deeply lined his face. He usually car
ried his head somewhat bowed. with
his eyes downcast and his expression
suggestive of one who ponders deeply
upon secret and unpleasant topics. but
there We're moments when his gray
eyes would light up and the heavy
lines of his face would soften. so that
he might almost be called handsome.
1t happened that there was y play at
one of the theaterS which Lancaster
very much desired to see. and he hap
pened to mention it to Miss HARDWOOD.
She had not seen the play, but had
heard it praised, and the result of all

this ruin the best hope that has come to
me in all my life"
AS often happens. there was great
difficulty in finding an annoyance
which unsought was always ready to
appear. Lancaster walked the length
of the street half dozen times and
not living creature showed the small
est interest in him. At last he paused
YEARLY upon a corner close by the
stairs which led up to a station of the
elevated road. He stood there in his
customary attitude, his head bowed
and his hands clasped behind him.
Probably he remained in this position
about ten minutes, when suddenly he
felt something thrust into one of his
hands. Instinctively his fingers closed
upon it; then he turned about, but
could not see who it was that had given
him this unexpected token. Several
men were hurrying by, and one of
them, just disappearing up the stairs of
the station, looked little like the
queer fellow who had made signals on
the first day. The man as"r'.,lod the

Lancaster turned his gaze to the OBJ
ject which had been thrust into his
hand. 1t was plain envelope sealed
tightly, but bearing no address. Ian
caster tore 1t open and was amazed to
find it contained five 500 bills There
was no message whatever; the money

Lancaster stared at it and slowly
shook his head.
"This matter thought he. ''has gone
entirely beyond me. 1t is clear that
l am mistaken for the head of some
extraordinary gang of thieves. This
is my share of some recent plumber l
shall have to report this to the po-
lice"
He walked to the nearest station
and as he entered the building he saw
the rat eyed fellow standing before the
desk, between two uniformed officers.
The sergeant behind the desk was
leaning far over and talking with the
trio.

He approached the desk, and as he
did so the sergeant the two uniformed
men and the evil eyed fellow between
them stared as if he had been a ghost.

He led the way to a private room.
When the door was opened, Lancaster
saw a heavily built man Of forty
standing by a window, his back to-
ward the door. He was dressed in a
plain brown sack suit. and in the first
instant it did not occur to Lancaster
that this could be the captain. The
man did not turn as they entered. He
still stood with his hands clasped be-

tates upon secret and unpleasant top

SAD TRAGEDY OF
WIND AND WAVE.
Death Of Roy Larkin is Recalled
By Filing of a Suit for $4,000
For His Death.
ACTION IS BROUGHT BY MOTHER
She Charges Negligence Against Beach
Company in Not Saving Boy
From Watery Grave.

A damage suit has been filed in the
district court by Mrs Anna NJ. Larkin
against the Saltalr Beach company to
recover $4,000 for the death of plain
tlffs son, Roy Larkln, who WAS drown
ed In the lake on the night Of July 20.
Negligence is charged on the part OF
defendant because II failed and neg-
lected to rescue or attempt to rescue
the boy from his perlous position even
after the management had been warm
ed of the same. 1t Is also charged that
the company neglected TO furnish
guards or life lines; to establish posts
or notices to indicate the depth OF the
water; or to provide persons ana APP
planes for the rescue Of bathers VINO
ar Elm danger, all of which are neces-
sary to protect the lives OF patrons OF
the resort.
The complaint further alleges that
defendant well knew that sudden and
violent wlndstorms often arise on the
lake, and that they render bathing ex-
tremely dangerous, hence IL was the
company's duty to provide for such con-
ditions by furnishing persons to look
ready 10 rescue them from such perils.
BY reason Of all these acts of negli.
genoe, IL is alleged. that the boy was
drowned to plaintiffs damage In the
sum Of SIS, 900.

Larkin, his counsin. Ross Wells and
Miss Pomeroy, the latters sister-in-
law, went In bathing at the beach. At
