,rg He suggested sending a carriage
and a doctor from New Rochelle. but
hsre the lady motorist. who had been
an interested spectator, descended from
her car and graciously offered to con-
vow the two gentlemen back to New
York.
This offer was gratefully accepted,
Richard and the patrolman helping the
rnolishman into the tonneau. The
farmer wished to accompany them. but
was promptly suppressed by divers
threats of the law for blocking public
| highways.
"Mr. Wilson," briskly remarked the
Young lady. who had given her name
ss Miss Sempton, ~ think your EN-
nloyer would be more comfortable II
YOU propped his injured limb on the
seat Yon would better ride with me-"
Richard flushed. but obeyed To be
thought chauffeur by the patrolman
was one thing, but the occupation was
mot so attractive In the eyes of dash
ing young aristocrat in leather cloak
and cap.
What address, Mr. Williams?' she
asked
"The nearest hospital, If you please"
answered the earl, wincing as the ma.
chine started.
To Richard the ride was not very
pleasant. Miss Sempton talked to him
politely, 1t is true, but much in the
same manner as she might have con-
suited her groom with regard to the
condition of her horses. With the earl
she was on different terms, being
charmingly solicltous for his comfort
and expressing deep regret at his mis-
fortune.
How are you getting on. Mr.. VIII
lams?" she asked, turning her head
with a sympathetic smile.
Jolly" said the earl, though beads
Of perspiration were gllstening on his
brow. He nursed his dropping shoul-
der and drew what comfort he could
from his glimpses Of wind flushed
cheek and pair Of sparkling eyes
that were turned upon him ever and
anon.
They stopped at the entrance of st.
Luke's hospital, on Cathedral heights.
where the bogus Williams, with pro-
fuse thanks to his good Samaritan.
was borne away by two attendants.
The real Richard Williams raised his
hat and thanked her also. He was
about to follow his friend WREN Miss
Sempton detained him.
"One moment, Mr.. Wilson. That
Layton motor you are driving-is 1t a
pretty fair machine?"
Delightful" said Richard, who for
the first time In his life had received
his baptism Of fire and gasoline.

man In undisguised astonishment.
"Well, no; never heard 1t called that,
or a temper cooler either. No ice about
that machine"
Miss Simpton regarded him critical
iy through her dropping eyelashes.
Where is the ignition coil located ?"
"Why-why-under the tank" said
Richard as wild guess. The young
woman flung back her head and
laughed.
Did you learn to drive motor In
a hanson cab, sir?"
"On broncho, ma'am." returned
Richard, cheerfully seeing the game
was up.

GIVES OUT
A STATEMENT
He IS NOT TRYING 10 GET AWAY
FROM NEW YORK.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Aug. 22.-Har-
ry K. Thaw made public tonight a
statement that is a reply to various re-
ports regarding his financial dealings
that have arisen since he filed his pc
tition in bankruptcy. Thaw in his
statement says:
Il am able to say that a statement
attributed to Mr.. Semple was not made
by him. Mr.. Semple will assure any
inquirer that / have never given "a
draft Of any kind upon my mother. At
my request my business attorney OBJ
tanned a loan for me on June 18. 1906,
from my mother, but that is very diff
ferent from drawing on her. I have
not drawn upon her at any time"
Regarding the rumor that he has
some Interior purpose in being adj
Judged q bankrupt, Thaw enters a spe-
cifc denial. His lawyer. Colonel
Bartlett, Mr.. Morchauserand Mr.. Pea
body, have had charge Of the conduct
Of his case, he says, but they have
paid no attention to his business mat
tiers, which were in his own hands un-
til heavy claims, some Of which were
gross overcharges, he claims, forced
him to protect himself and his legiti-
mate creditors by maintaining an ap.
plication in bankruptcy.
The bankruptcy proceeding, he de-
clares, was no subtle scheme of his
lawyers.
Thaw says that he has no wish to,
go to Ptttsburg, as he believes that
Mr.. O'Mara and Governor Stone will
protect his interests. but Il his pres
ence is required, his counsel will add
their word to his that hes will return.
or II a bondsman, not q counsel, is
needed, here in Poughkeepsie. he has
friends who will put up $5sO0or &c.,
900, which he thinks is ample as Sc
curity for 9 citizen charged with no
crime whatever and detained under q
commitment which no lawyer or au-
thority considers to be legal and con-
stitutional.

FORSYTH BOYS
ARE DEFEATED
SUGAR TRAMPs TAKE VISITORS
INTO CAMP.

From the spectators standpoint, one
Of the fastest and best baseball games
ever witnessed in the city was pulled
OF yesterday. when the Sugar Tramps
took the Forsyth professionals into
camp by q score of Z to 6. While some
expensive errors occurred, they were
evenly divided, the visitors having
four and the Tramps three. and the
battle vas q red-hot see-saw from start
to finish. It being anybody's game IN
til the last man was down.
Husband oflciated on the rubber for
the locals and pitched a magnificent
game, holding the Rosebud sluggers to
five scattered hits, and but for the
holes In his support, would have shut
them out. Incidentally he soaked out
two beautiful hits; he was very eff
fective in the pinches, pulled out Of
some bad holes, and was in the game
every minute.
The Tramps took their heavy sticks
out with them and used them to splen-
did advantage, slamming out q total
OF thirteen hits OF the delivery Of the
imported Mr.. Olsen. Wilson led the
hitting with three singles. saving the
game with his last one in the eighth,
when the score stood six to four in
favor OF the visitors. Most of the err
rors made on both sides were excus-
able. owing to the rough condition of
the grounds, and the enthusiastic fans
who witnessed the exhibition were sat
isfied that they received their moneys
worth. Lefty" Miller held the indi-
Gator and his work was eminently
fair and entirely satisfactory.
The Commercials and the visitors
will play to day at 3 O'Clock and a
large sum Of money has been placed
on the result. Miller will pitch and
Marsh catch for the Commercials, and
Hubbard will be at second; otherwise
the lineup will be the same as usual.
The grounds will be put in ~frst-class
condition this morning and a battle
for blood Is assured this afternoon.
