LOU IuQSt KNOW kLHdl every ouLudyS
forenoon l ride on my bicycle to Farm
ham Station, in order to get the 1a:22
to town. The road from ChilterH
Grange is lonely one, and at one spot
il is particularly so, for. it lies for over,
o. mile between Chariington Heath up
on one side and the woods which lie.-
round ChaIlington Hall upon the other.
You could not ind more lonely tract
OF road anywhere, and it is quite rare
to meet so much as cart, or peasant,
until you reach the high road near
Crooksbury Hill. Two weeks ago
was passing this place. when l chanced
to look back over my shoulder, and
about two hundred yards behind me
saw a man, also on a bicycle. He
seemed to be middle-aged man, with
q short, dark beard. l looked back be-
fore 1 reached Farnham, but the man
was gone, so / thought no more about
It. But you can imagine how surprised
/ was. Mr. Holmes, when, on my return
On the Monday. saw the same man on
the same stretch Of road. My aston
ishment was increased when the incl
dent occurred again, exactly as before,
on the following Saturday and Monday
He always kept his distance and did
not molest me in any way, but still it
certainly was very odd. l mentioned
It to Mr.. Carruthers, who seemed inter-
ested in what I said, and told me that
he had ordered a horse and trap, SO
that in future I should not pass over
these lonely roads without some COM
panion
The horse and trap were to have
come this week. but for some reason
they were not delivered, and again T
had to cycle to the station. That was
this morning. You can think that

Heath, and there, sure enough, was tha
man, exaetly as he had been the two
weeks before. He always kept 30 far
from me that could not clearly sea
his face. but 1t was certainly some ono
whom did not know. He was dressed
in a dark suit with a cloth cap. The
only thing about his face that I could
clearly see was his dark beard To-
day 1 was not alarmed. but Yves filed
with curiosity. and determined to find
out who he was and what he wanted.

he was not on it. To make 1t the
more extraordinary. there was no side
road at this point down which he could

Holmes chucliled and rubbed his
hands. This case certainly pre-
sents some features of it's own"

D0WDHL Says II
WAS PILOTS FAULT

San Francisco Oct. lS.-The inves
tigation of circumstances attending the
wreck of the steamship Alameda, be.
fore Inspectors Bolles and Bulger,
most resembles a game of pass the
buck" Captain Dowdell, master OF
the ship, files charges, with a string
to them, against the pilot, Chas. b.
johnson. The pilot, on the other hand.
says that Dowdell was on the bridge
and gave orders while the ship was on
her way out, and both agree in blam-
ing the whistle blowers on Fort Point
and Lime Point for not giving signals
to indicate the points of danger.
When the investigation opened yea.
terday copy of the charges preferred
by Captain Dowdell against the pilot
was presented as follows:
AS master of the steamer Alameda
at the time the same was stranded at
Fort Point on the morning of the SOth
day of September. 1905, | hereby pre-.
fer charges against the pilot, Charles
b. Johnson, whose license Is No. 23,S54,
nineteenth issue, dated October 10,
1902, and state that at the said time
said pilot was in sole charge and COM
mand of said vessel for the purpose OF
navigating her through the Heads, be-
Ing under special employment by the
steamship company for that purpose,
and the fault or neglect, If any there
be, in the navigation of said vessel.
which resulted in said stranding was
the fault or neglect of said Charles b..
Johnson, and no other. and respect
fully ask that said Charles b. Johnson
! be summoned before this board In
such manner as in law and justice IL
