of the final act-thSt she neither heard
nor saw that some one had fumbled
his way in through the darkness and
sat down by her side.
The lights were turned on. There
was a sigh and a rustic of relief
throughout the hall. Louise was star
ing in Mortified dumbfoundedncss at
her unexpected neighbour fat man
of stOlid cOmpOsuTe.
Incapable of speech, she could only
gaze at him with tear-filled eyes. Her
neighbor, however, displayed no con-
Germ for her agitation, nor any APP
parent intention of moving, but con-
tinued hopping his eyes, winding up
with z dolorous blast on his nose.
please, please said Louise, faint
ly, "if you don't mind, you're sitting
on my hat"
Slowly the fat man arose. There
was the brown hat, crushed to the
thinness of a sheet of paper, the feath-
er fiat as though passed through the
mangle.
Dear me, who would have thought
that it would have squashed so cas-
ily!" pulled the fat man, embarrassed
at the situation.
On arriving at Mrs. Randolph's that
night, Louise went directly to her
own room, where she put the UNI
fortunate hat into her deepest bureau
drawer-alas, it would have gone with
out difficulty into the shallowest-and
went to bed as speedily as possible
intending to lie awake all night, cry
ing.
The next thing she knew it was
morning, and her eyes felt stiff and
queer and there was an inexplieable
weight of woe upon her heart. With
the next wave of returning conscious
ness came a sudden unexpected light
ening of the burden. She had the
money to pay for the ruined hat! She
would go to Nine. Lear and tell her the
whole story. To the uncompromising
eyes of II, no other course seemed
possible.
Mrs. Randolph did not appear below
stairs that morning, her headache hav-
ing fingered overnight. Immediately
after breakfast Louise set out on her
errand. Arriving at Nine Lear's, she
held herself rigidly to her task, Eot
sparing herself, till the last words

New York, Nov. 1.-The latest the
ory regarding the whereabouts of Ray

disappeared on the eve Of his indict.
ment on charge made by several
young girls, Is that the fugitive has
gone to Canada. This information
was furnished by railroad conduc.

tradition If he Is in Canada.
The police learned today that man
closely resembling Hitchcock, sailed
on the Majestic Wednesday and a
wireless telegram has been sent to the
captain Of that vessel.
The best clue however, points to
Canada. A gateman at the Grand
Central Station says he saw Hitchcock
take train for Boston on Wednesday
while there is report at North Ad.

seen there by hotel clerk. 1t is also
asserted at North Adams that Hitch.
