 The sun was beating hotly down up cn the wide stretch of yellow sand. Ladies in bright costumes reclined un- der gay parasols and talked intermit- tently, not of the beauties of the sea. but of the glories of the towns they had left behind them.
 In one of the shady places under the rocks a man reclined languidly. He was not sleeping or reading or watch ing tho gay crowd before him. His eyes, set in a haggard face, were gag ing out towards the sea with list less expression.
 The morning passed slowly as he lay there. and the crowd on the sands be- gan to thin.
 Just upon the rim of the shadow within which the man rested lay rounded, graywhite stone. Towards this a small child, whose feet and legs were still shining and wet with the warm sea water. made her way with a shout of happy glee; and the man sighed.
 He glanced at the small intruder with some annoyance visible upon his face, but she was not noticing. She had seated herself upon the stone, and all her attention was given to the task of disentangling pair of long black stockings which were twisted about her neck. He looked away again and became once more lost in his own thoughts. Then came small, grum- bling voice with the suspicion of a tremor in 1t.
 "If you weren't drefful unpolite, you would help little girl" 1t ran. "Only drefful unpolite people don't help little girls"
 II was some few seconds before the man realized that she was talking to him. Then he turned his head and

his friends. He shuns his former friends as though afraid they would do him violence. and if they approach him will take to his heels.
 The officers are maintaining stIll hunt for King.
 sIn the meantime. while King night ly seeks his leafy couch and the ofii- cers patrol the vicinity and stand guard over the place where they sup pose he is. the residents do not ven ture away from home, the children do not demand the freedom of the streets and at night the doors and windows are securely locked against a possible attack.
 Mt Elliott avenue is enjoying a real reign of terror and prayers at night Include the wish that the officers will succeed in capturing the man who is making life unbearable in that vicin- ity.

Carl Smith, Aeronaut, Received Preb-
 ably Fatal Injuries.
 LEWISTON, Me. Sept. 6. - Carl Smith of Brockton, Mass, a profes- sional aeronaut, fell a distance of 125 feet from balloon at the Maine State Fair grounds here and received in- juries which will probably result in his death.
 Smith and Miss Ida Merrill of Bos- ton, another professional aeronaut, as- cended in a balloon from the fair grounds in sight of 2,O0O people. and when at the height of 100 feet the bal loonists made preparations to drop in their parachutes. Each of the occu- pants had separate trapeEe and para chute.
 Smith swung himself to the trapeze and cut the parachute loose, but the trapeze rope broke, and the man fell to the ground while the crowd below watched with horror and surged back out of his way. In striking the ground he broke his breast bone and hls hips and arms. He was hurriedly removed to the Central Maine General hospi- tai in this city in an insensible condi- ton.
 Miss Merrill landed in the woods about half mile distant in her para chute without mishap.
 The police are Investigating report that two negroes who had been seen about the balloon before the ascension had cut the trapeze rope.

BRYAN AGAIN AT LINCOLN.
After . Year of Wandering Is With
 His Home Folks.

After a Year of Wandering Is With
 His Home Folks.
 LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. Civilian J. Bryan has reached this city, and the "heme folks" welcomed him with ev- cry evidence of approval and satisfac- tion. It was a neighborly welcome, planned as such and carried out as planned.
 Lincoln has more Republicans than Democrats, but there was no line of partisan division, and the welcome ex- tended to both MT. and Mrs. Bryan was sincere and joyful Everybody showed good nature; nobody wanted to quarrel about politics, and nearly the whole population showed that 1t was genuinely glad that MT. Bryan lives here.
 It is doubtful whether Lincoln ever held a larger crowd than that which came to the city. The weather, bar ring the heat, was fine. It was a half holiday in the city, and every train from over the state arrived loaded down. bringing not only Nebraska peo- pie, but many from nearby states.

 turn to Asylum.

Detroit, Mich.-Afraid of their lives, fearful of leaving their homes, the children in the vicinity of Mt. Elliott and Monroe avenues have not played in the streets for several nights. Older persons, too, remain on front porches and do not wander far from the open doorway, through which they may flee at moments notice.
 John King, man with 8 wrecked mind, Is the cause of the commotion that exists in that vicinity, and al- though hunted by officers, he has elud- ed them and complete reign of ter TOT exists around that corner of Mt. Elliott cemetery.
 King is powerful young fellow of about 25 years After his mind gave way he was taken to the Dear born retreat, but about month ago returned to his home in this city.
 For several weeks there was no in- dication of anything wrong with the young man. But, suddenly, he began to develop fondness for the solitude of the cemetery. especially at night, and forsaking his bed at home. he climbed the big trees among the head stones and slept on the limbs after the primitive fashion.
 King had the idea that the ceme- tery contained a great lake and that on its shores was the ideal camping place. And at night, to avoid the heat, he would steal away to his tree bed.
 Neighbors who knew of the occur renee notified the police at the Elm wood station. Several men were de- tailed to effect the capture of the young man, and nightly they have patroled the vicinity. three or four of them frequently being seen in that portion where the demented man was supposed to be.
 Often King would leave the seclu- sion of his haunts in the cemetery and walk with quick, jerky stride along the walks adjacent to the cemetery. One night, when an, officer accosted him, King, 1t is said. wheeled and struck the officer violent blow, fell ing him to the ground, and, turning, ran north. a -
 The demented man is also alleged to have grabbed young man by the throat and was trying to throttle him when others approached and fright
 
 small boy, who was of too inquisitive disposition for King, was assaulted and knocked down.
 King realizes that he is being sought by the officers and will be placed in confinement again if caught. He is shrewd enough to avoid anyone who looks like an officer or one of

When he had finished he be- gan to cough. and the cough shook him through and through. He Ieant back panting against the rocks. The owner of the blue eyes paused in the act of pulling on black stocking to look at him doubtfully.
 You coughs very hard. Haven't you any candy?" she asked.
 He smiled. No. I'm afraid I haven't"
 'l haven't, either now. l eated all mine. or I'd give you half to make you better" She put on her shoe and tied the laces in a one-sided knot Well, you can easily get some, can't you, in tke stores?"
 Quite easily"

 Langham shook his head. Tt won't do. Bess. It won't sail on the sea, you know. My boats never do sail" Tho last sentence was spoken under his breath, but Bess's ears were sharp. and she heard 1t. She dug her elbow In a little deeper. Never mind, it looks nice," she said comfortingly.
 Presently another thought came 0 her. She patted the tiny craft with . loving forennger. "Of course the fais- ics sail in 1t: I almost forgotted. When you're asleep p-sound-then they como --hcaps-an' saiL an sail. an sail-"
 And where do they sail tor" asked the man.
 "I don't know" said Bess dreamily. "Somewheres drefful good. expec'," che said, after pause, and che took ID the little yellow-white boat and kissed 1t.
 Then she started to her feet There's nurse now, and she's looking that's for me. You must take care-heaps- of the fairy boat till to-morrow-day, and watch. Then you can tell. when I've comed, how the fairies sail in 1t Cause I'm coming to-morrow-day, an the next, an the next, an you must make heaps Of fairy boats. Of course, you must be drefful careful the fairies dcp't see you watching. you know!" Langham had recovered his breath hy the time she had stated her irten- ton and instructed him in his duties. "I'll be dreadfully careful" he said,
 She turned when few yards away and kissed her hand to him. ''l'll be sure and come to-morrow-day." she cried: and her eyes said. ''Be drefful careful"
 Langham lay and looked at the little boat. A fairy vessel 1t was-and fash toned from an old. old love-letter-of the woman who had married somebody else. He lay for long time. Then he made a little hole in the sand and buried the fairy boat. The last one," he muttered. "and they none of them sailed"
 We'll, perhaps the fairies sailed ib them. He would soon find out. When at last he rose, 1t was with an effort and with gray tinge about his lips. He, looked along the yellow shore A week since he had been able to crawl up and down 1t; to-day he had with difficulty managed to creep up slowly, slowly, to the shadow under the nrst rocks; tomorrow He raised his handkerchief in vain enAeavor to check cough, and moved painfully away.
 The morrow came to the shore, and with 1t Bess with her dancing curls. She searched every nook and cranny by the rocks. and then searched them again; but the y-boat-maker was bot there.
