 When the servant girl returned to Lordship Park she said nothing to Mrs. Walker. but the next day. Fri day. Mrs. Walker by chance asked her if the house was all right. The girl said that she had noticed a valice and several curtains on bed in one of the rooms. This worried Mrs. Walker as she could not remember of having left any such articles on bed when she left home. Two years ago burg lars entered her home on Park avenue through the same window that was used on this occasion. and took nearly $1,000 worth of goods. .. That burglary has left a strong impression on Mrs. Walker. and the story told by the ser want girl on Friday caused her to dream that night a dream that was true.
 Detective Edward Cronan has charge of the case. and has a good description of the man who was hanging about the place on Thursday morning.

 Middleboro, Mass, Aug. 16.-Governor Eben s. Draper. commander-in-chief of the army of Massachusetts and his adjutant general, William H. Brigham, narrowly escaped being taken prison CTS by scouts of the Red army at Middleboro this afternoon. Only the fact that the scouts were unfamiliar with Governor Draper's appearance in military attire saved the defenders of Boston from an inglorious setback ip the great war game. Governor Draper and General. Brigham were on a tour of inspection and ventured into the village of Middleboro in an auto. Leav- ing the auto the two state officials were reconnoitering about two blocks distant when they were met by a party of the Red scouts. Outlooks from the standing army lad been vis- iting Middleboro all day by twos and three. They gave the Blue army of fcers close scrutiny, passing in a direction that cut the Governor and Adjutant General off from their auto mobile.
 Two staff officers flashing through the town on steeds noticed the predica- ment of the two higher officials and by loaning Governor Draper and Ad- jutant General Brigham their horses saved the day. The automobile was also recovered before the Red army scouts had awakened sufficiently to realize that a big prize had slipped through their fingers. There was great rejoicing in the camp of the Blues when word was passed along the lines of the safety of the Governor and his companion.
