UAnd where is his mandatory?
Might be worth visiting perhaps"
The other made gesture. said some
thing about northwest and rushed to
help a customer. Sweetwater took the
opportunity to slide away. More ex-
pllcit directions could easily be got
elsewhere, and he felt anxious to re-
turn to Mr.. Grey and discover IL pos.
gIble whether 1t would prove as much
d matter Of surprise to him as to
Eweetwater himself that the man who
answered to the name Of Wellgaod
was the owner Of mandatory and

proposed to make compound thai

and make himself and this little vii
iage rich.
Sweetwater made only one stop on
his way to Mr.. Grey's hotel rooms, and
that was at the stables. Here he
learned whatever else there was to
know, and, armed with definite infor-
nation, he appeared before Mr.. Grey,
who, to his establishment, was dining
In his own room.
He had dismissed the waiter and
was rather brooding than eating. He
looked up eagerly, however, when
Sweetwater entered and asked what
news
The detective, with some semblance
Of respect, answered that he had seen
Wellgood, but that he had been I'M
able to detain him or bring him within
his employers observation.
'.He is a patent medicine man." he
then explained, "and manufactures his
own connections in a house he has
rented here on q lonely road some half
mile out of town"
ssWellgood does-the man named

ali the establishment the other secretly
expected.

There is no other in town."
"How long has this man been hereT'
the statesman inquired after a moment
OF apparently great discontinue.
"Just twenty-four hours this time
He was here once before, when BIZ
rented the house and made all his

"AhT

sanguine as to the probable result o
this effort.
Returning to the stables, he ordere
the team. With the last ray of the su

They headed for the coast road.

CHAPTER XIX.

L~lHE moon was well up when the
small boat in which our young
detective was seated with Mr..
~ Grey appeared in the bay ap-
preaching the so called mandatory of
Wellgood. The looked for light on the
waterside was not there. All was dark
except where the windows reflected the
light of the moon.
This was a decided disappointment
to Sweetwater, if not to Mr.. Grey.
He had expected to detect signs of life
in this quarter, and this additional
proof Of Wellgood's absence from home
made it look as If they had come out
on a fools errand and might much bet
ter have stuck to the road

from his lips. "Shall row in. sir, and
| try to make a landing?"
"You may row nearer. l should like
closer view. I don't think we shall
attract any attention. There are more
boats than ours on the water"
Sweetwater was startled. Looking
round, he saw launch, or some such
small steamer, riding at anchor not far
| from the mouth of the bay. But that
| was not ALL Between it and them was
a rowboat like their own, resting quiet
" in the wake Of the moon.

muttered Something's brewing; some
thing in which we may not want to
take part"

grimly. "But we must not be de

Sweetwater did not hear. Mr.. Grey
seemed to remember himself. "Row

shadow of the rocks If you can. II
the boat is for him, he will show him

1t did not look feasible. Neverthe
less, they waited and watched witt

cernible in the direction of the manu-

JEWS PROMISED LAND.
So Says Jacob H. schif in Address
to Jewish Chautauauans.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 29.-Jacob H.
Schiff, the New York banker, in an
address at the closing meeting of the
Jewish ~Chdutauqua yesterday, declared
that the hope of the restoration of the
Jewish nation in Palestine was not the
guiding star of Israel's hope, but that
the promised land of the Jew was in
America.
There vas instant applause when the
sentiment was uttered, which broke out
afresh when Mr.. Schiff reiterated the
sentiment and said that in the free
land of the United States was to be
found the inspiration of the Jew for a
higher citizenship.
Mr.. Schiff told of the hopes, the aspi-
rations and the longings of the Jew.
He sounded a note of warning to the
Jewish people and declared that there
should be a lessening of the evils of
o~vercrowded tenement life in the great
cities of New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore and dispersion of Jews
through the South and West.

Friends Of Esther Norling, Frank War

Ridgefeld Park.

HACKENSACK, July 20. = Miss
Esther C. Norling, the cashier in
Whites haberdashery at 8 West Forty
second street, Manhattan, who was In
stantly killed by Frank Warner, a
former wealthy hat dealer, as she was
about to enter her place of business last
Tuesday morning, was buried from her
late home at Ridgefield Park yesterday
afternoon. So great was the throng that
filled house and lawn that the services
were conducted from the porch.
The Rev. Mr.. Edwards, of the Bap-
fist Church. offered the prayer. and the
Rev. A. l.. Wilson. Of the Peoples Con-
gregational Church, in whose Sunday
school Miss Norling was a teacher,
preached a touching sermon. Several
times the pastor was wellnigh over
come with emotion and tears filled his
| eyes. He said he praised God for the
life that Esther Norling lived. She had
| entered into commercial pursuits in the
great metropolis in her teens; had gone
into the centre of the maelstrom Of
temptation, but had been stricken
| down by an assassin's bullet, a pure,
virtuous and unsullied m He
added:
I'VE learn that Miss Norling. who
had been associated with Frank War
! ner in business for eight years, was at
one time engaged to her employer.
When he was short of funds Esther
Norling borrowed 5000 from a resident
of Ridgefield Park and gave 1t to War
ner to aid him. She lost all this, but
out of her salary she regularly made
payments on the loan until she cleared
her indebtedness. This was her sacri-
flee, bu she remained loyal to her
Christ. We rave no apologies TO make,
but rejoice that she was brave enough
to Withstand all temptation and died
spotless."

The man is Otto Hoffman, a keeper.
Hoffman has had fifteen years expert

picking up a cent which had rolled out
of the reach of Gunda's trunk when the
animal flew into a rage, grabbed him
and dragged him into the cage By
clinging to the trumpeting elephants
tusks the keeper managed to keep him
self from being trodden to death. Other
keepers prodded Gunda with pitchforks
until Hoffman could get out of the
cage. When he did so he tainted. A
doctor found the man was badly
bruised, and he had a crushed rib and
a bruised liver. He is in a serious way.
