Tad was not really aware Of what
he was doing until he was half way

was striding forward. A pull at his

A look OF comprehension slowly

Utterly breathless. Tad climbed again
to the window The sight he saw
was the girl and the man in each

comprehensive scene to him in which
the man seemed TO be explaining
something to the girl Suddenly he
left the room. Tad heard the street
door open, then, before he could so
much as give one squlrm. he was
lifted in a pair of strong arms. Up
the stone steps he was carried, into
a warm hall, then into the very room
on which his eyes had been glued.
Plump, he was seated in large
leather chair. and the man dropped on
one arm and the girl on the other.
They looked at each other and smiled
happily.
What do you want most in the

ment made by Miss Daisy sutton. the
young sister OF the dead marine Off
Ger. who declared that on the night
Of October 10, 1907. Mrs. Parker and
herself, both sisters. and Mrs. Mar
garet Ainsworth, an aunt Of the young
officer, had vivid dreams.
This was the night Lieutenant Sut-
ton died. The three women claim
that he appeared 10 them in their
dreams and said:
Some son-of-a-gun sneaked up be-
hind me and struck me in the back Of
the head. I did not know I had been
shot until I woke up in eternity; /
certainly did not shoot myself"
The three women were separated by
hundreds Of miles on the night they
had their dreams. and we're thousands

people compared to crowds that have gone

the special train at Harrington and sent
the excursionists to the resort on the reg

ever took to the resort. This morning.
however. but $50 persons boarded the

Probably a great part Of the falling off
may have been due to tho fact that 1900
persons wer~ from Wilmington 20 At
