and Mr.. Hill had had no visible or
audible fault to find with him. Then,
one morning, no unfinished business
was put on his desk for handling;
the other officials with whom he was
accustomed to work shook their heads
when he asked for an explanation.
He put himself in the way of his
chief, but apparently he had become
invisible. Thereafter, until his con-
tract expired. he sat each day during
business hours at his desk, drawing
his salary regularly, but cut off en-
tirely from any participation in the
business.

Which Foot Walk. Faster2

You may think this very silly ques-
ton to ask, but It isn't. II is simple.
demonstrable fact. which you can
prove to your own satisfaction In a
very few minutes, II you win take a
pavement that is clear, 30 that there
will be no interference. and walk brisk
ly in the center, you will find that be-
fore you have gone fifty yards you
have veered very much TO one side.
You must not make any effort, Of
course, to keep In the center, but If you
will think of something and endeavor
to walk naturally you cannot keep q
direct line. The explanation Of this lies
in the propensity Of one foot to walk
faster than the other, or one leg takes a
longer stride than the other, causing
one to walk to one side. You can try
an experiment In this way by placing
two sticks about eight feet apart, then
stand of about sixty feet, blindfold
yourself and endeavor to walk between
them. You will find 1t almost impos-
sible. . 4

BATHING AT DIEppE.
When the comtssse dc 6Olsns Tried Il
In the War fena


when the contssse dc HOlsns Tried Il
In the Year 1905.
The Comtesse de Boigne in her mem.
offs gives an account of a visit she
paid IN 1905, which is interesting in
view OF the position Dieppe now holds
among French watering places. Y
THE poverty Of the inhabItants.v
she says. was frightful. The Eng.
lishman, as they called him land for
them he was worse than the deviD,
was cruising necessarily before their
empty harbor. With much difficulty a
boat was able to escape from time to
time and 90 fishing, always at the risk
OF being captured by the foreigner or
conhscated upon the return journey If
the telescopes of the watchers had
seen 1t approach vessel.
"As FOR the comforts arranged for
the convenleHce Of bathers which
Dieppe has since organized, they were
nonexistent at that time, My brother
was able to find little covered cart.
and with great trouble and great ex-
pense, Notwithstanding the universal
poverty, man was hired to lead the
horses down to the sea and two wo-
men to go into the sea with me.
These preparations raised the pub
lie surprise and curiosity to such a
pitch that my Arst bath was watched
by crowd on the shore. My servants
were asked II had been bitten by a
mad dog.
IT aroused extreme pity as I went
by, and It was thought that I was
being taken down to be drowned. An
old gentleman called on my father TO
point out to him that he was assuming
a great responsibility In permitting 80
rash an act. It can hardly be mag
ined that the Inhabitants Of a sea
shore could be 50 afraid OF the sea.
"But at that time the people Of
Dieppe were chiefly occupied In keep
ing out Of sight Of It and in protecting
themselves from the disasters which
they feared the sea might bring. so
that It was for them nothing more
than ameans Of annoyance and suffer
ing. It Is curious to think that ten
years later bathers were arriving ip
hundreds, that special arrangements
were made for their convenience and
that sea bathing Of every kind went
on without producing any astonish-
ment In the nelghborhood.
II have thus attempted to point opt
that the custom Of sea bathing, which
Is now 80 universal IL comparatively
recent In France, for Dieppe was the
erst place whore It began" @

aman is alleged to have fired. These
officers say a tape running directly

The testimony of Widaman and San
ger that only one shot was fired is also
refuted by an employe of the hotel, who
says he distinctly heard two reports.
Bells attorneys stated yesterday they
would have two witnesses in court this
week who would swear positively that
one of the revolvers disowned by either
Sanger and Widaman was seen in the
latter's possession some time before the
trouble.
They also say a fuller explanation
should be had of the attitude of George
Pearson, former deputy district attor-
ney, in his prosecution of Widaman
and Sanger in police court last year,
following their arrest on Bells COM
plant that the two men had tried to
kill him. Pearson, who was witness
during the present hearing, stated he
was not very diligent in the prosecu-
ton, as he did not place much faith in
Bells story. Associated with Pearson
at the time was ]. L. Fleming, who is
now acting in Bells behalf. Attorney
Fleming stated yesterday he had COM
planned to District Attorney Fred

with more vigor, but could get little
satisfaction. The matter was finally
