constant intrusion of the ocean, this
narrative will not interest them.
Looking back upon it now, it seems
to me that everything we did that
summer, indeed, almost everything
we thought and said, was in some
way connected with the sea. And per-
haps this is not so strange after all,
since we looked out upon it from every
window and its murmur was never
absent from our ears.
1t was Gabrielle who originated the
plan of supper on the rocks. Gabri-

ears and her book slipped unnoticed
from her lap.

will be called for trial tomorrow, and
James p. Whitla, father of Willie, will
be the principal witness for Boyle.
Attorneys Miller and Stranahan, for

produce an impression that will result
In minimum punishment.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Whitla knew
Boyle was connected with the abduc-
ton at noon of March 25 and that he
talked with Boyle ON a street corner
near the store of Mrs. Hendrickson,
where a few moments before he had
left the package containing the $4,000
ransom money.
Further, it is alleged, Mr.. Whitla as
sured Boyle that all he wanted was
the safe return of the boy and that he
would not interest himself in any pros
ecution. Whitla is said to have in
formed Boyle that he could remain in
Cleveland or go where he pleased, but
in any event "he would be as tight as
clam" if they boy was returned un-
harmed. Following this conversation
Willie was safely restored to his ia
ther on the evening Of that day.

Goes to Prison For Life For Murder OF
His Father.
Irvine, KY, April 29.-On his Sec
ond trial for the murder of his father
Beach Hargis was found guilty, and
the jury fixed his punishment at i'm
prisOnment for life.
Young Hargis showed no emotion
when the verdict was rendered. Nei-
ther did his mother and sister, by
whom he sat.
The murder of Judge Hargs by his
son occurred in the judges store at
Jackson, Breathitt county, Feb. 6,
1908. Beach went to the Hargis store
where his father asked him what he
had been doing. 1t is not known
what Beach answered, but the two
clinched.
In the struggle Beach shot his father
four times. The bullets were fired
through Beach's coat, he not having
had time, it is said, to draw the
weapon. The pistol belonged to the
murdered father, having been taken
from the store by young Hargis. The
boys mother made every effort to get
his freedom.

Of all subversiye elements and to es-

half measures, but would thoroughly
clear up the situation. For this pur-
pose the state of siege would be pro-
longed for probably month, although
1t would be relaxed somewhat in the
European quarter very soon.
Referring to the deportation of Abdul
Hamid, General Schefket expressed
the opinion that this measure was alb
solutely necessary In the interest OF
future peace in the empire. Abiding
to the report that the Albanians might
attempt to rescue the former sultan,
the general said he was convinced that
the Albanians would remain quiet.

and that some expression would be
appreciated not only by those who
were skeptical as to his attitude, but
also by those who supported him.
