visits and had CHANGED to learn who
he was.
Redmond on-~the afternoon which
he had spent with his friend had seen
Wayne kneel beside Miss Saintsbury's
chair and kiss her hand, the gentle cli-
max of their first love episode. Later,
on the street, he had encountered
Wayne and had observed him with
natural interest. And, having eyes that
were keener than an eagles, Redmond
had remarked the sinister figure of the
convict slouching upon Wayne's trail.
In European capitals, as an attache Of

John E. Saintsbury died at his home
in Davenport, la, two years ago. His
will gave his widow a life interest
in the estate, which at her death was
to pass entire to their daughter Ethel,
then seventeen years old. The prop.
erty consisted Of a comfortable house,
a business that paid fair income and
an incipient lawsuit against a firm of
brokers in New York through which
Mr.. Saintsbury had secretly gambled
In stocks.
The New York firm was apparently
evading the payment of a considerable

The Nautical Idiono,

In "Glimpses of East Africa" Mrs.
Ethel Younghusband tells an amusing
story of a venerable Parsee who was
on board big liner going to England.
Some one wishing to make himself
agreeable went up to him and said,
Il hope, sir, you are a good sailor"
"Sailor, indeedv' said the Parsee.

lived. The young man had been out
all the evening, but while Miss Saints.
bury was leaving a message that he
should call her up he came In. To him

had happened. Wayne was amazed.

as early as you can. and please, please
be careful"
wayne went up to his apartment,
having a strong impression of the mi.
raculous upon his mind. He had spo-
ken his first word Of love to Ethel
that afternoon.
When he opened the outer door of
his little suit he noticed that all was
dark. Yet he knew that he had left
a small light In the private hall and
another in the sitting room, which was
at the end of the passage. Under ordi-
nary circumstances he would not have
given the matter second thought, but
the words which he had just heard
were still In his ears, a dear voice bid
ding him preserve himself from peril.
Instead Of passing through the hall
to the sitting room he softly entered
the bedroom and crept across it to the
curtained doorway. Silently he drew
aside the curtain and looked in. A
dim figure was crouching by the hall
door, and something cleaned family
In its hand.
There was revolver in a drawer of
the dressing table. Wayne turned to-
ward the place, and the floor creaked
under his weight. Instantly the man
who was lurking in the other room
rushed in upon him, but Wayne was
ready. He evaded the knife thrusts
and struck the assailant down with his
cane. The man fell forward. then roll
ed heavily upon his back and lay still.
Wayne sprang to the button that con-
trolled the lights, and the electric
lamps flashed. Wayne looked down
upon face that he remembered-the
face Of convict, man about forty
years old, with curly gray hair and
a scar across his eye.
Perhaps If the affair had taken less
serious turn Mr.. Redmond might have
yelled his share of it in the mysteries
Of occult science, but when summoned
to the district attorneys Office to ex-
plain his advance knowledge of an
intended homicide he told the truth
with exemplary frankness.
Shortly after landing from the steam
er he had gone to the apartments of
friend, a young Englishman resident
but few months in this country.
This mans windows looked directly
across at those Of the Saintsbury's, and
he had naturally glanced over at the
pretty girl with the sprained ankle.
He had seen man who looked like

TASMANIA.
Nieknames Applied to the One Time
Convict Settlement.

Convict Settlement.
Tasmania is perhaps the most inter.
esting of the states of our common
wealth." remarked the Australian. 1T
is large triangular isiand lying to the
south of Melbourne and was once
convict settlement.
"The climate is delightful and the
practically one large orchard, where
peaches, apples, cherries. etc, are
grown in sufficient quantities to keep
the adjoining continent supplied, with
AS fruit trees do not require much
tending, leisure is a notable character
istic of the inhabitants, and Tasmania
is known throughout the antipodes as
the land of lots of time or the land Of
sleep a lot. 1t is also called the jam
country and its natives familiarly
termed jam eaters. This is on account
of the presence Of an enormous can
merry in the island. where some of the
orchard products are converted into
jams, jellies and preserved fruits.
But this by no means ends the list
of Tasmanian nicknames. Two Dutch
explorers-Tasman and Van Dieman-
had to do with the discovery of the
island. and, although the name of Tas-
man is now used. it is often referred
to In old school books as Van Dieman's
Land. We find it amusing to twist
the latter name bit and call the Tas-
manians demons which is shame.
as they are the mildest and best fel-
lows in the world. They speak of
themselves as 'Tasies,' and that may
be accepted as their unofficial designa-
tion."-New York Press.

Jenny Lind and the TriIl.

Jenny Limo after years Of steady
practice believed that the much covet-
ed trill was for her an impossibility.
She practiced hours a day, but was
unable to accomplish the feat. One
day, thoroughly discouraged, she was
sitting in her garden when all at once
she looked up into a tree. Above her
a bird was trilling. She at once went
to her piano and through some magic
or power of imitation began the trill
and from that day never had any fur
ther difficulty.

ADJUSTMENTS.

In THE Bachelor" Mr.. Fitch is
said to have done the best work of
his life. The Shuberts have given
the piece an excellent setting and are
sending it to the coast as one of their
early open door" attractions with
the original Maxine Elliott theatre
cast and production. The piece has
not been seen out of New York
where it was first produced last
spring and in Chicago, where it ran
during the past summer. The story
begins when the bachelor, who
thinks committing matrimony is one
Of the eight deadly sins, is beginning
to take notice of the winsomeness of
his pretty blonde stenographer. He
has taken her to the matinee several
times and INDUCED her in an occa-
sional luncheon, but there his atten-
tions have discreetly stopped. The
strange part of it all is, that the
bachelor, who is Wall street
broker, does not realize his love for
the girl until her young brother, be-
lieving that he must protect his sis
ter against "the perils of a great
city" and moreover the attentions
of a handsome broker, informs him
that he must either propose to his sis.

Sad Accident.

Tunkhannock. Pa, Oct. 24.-A
most distressing accident occurred at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Rooms, North Tunkhannock, on Sun
day afternoon last, when their little
daughter, Mabel Melissa, aged a little
over three years, was burned so bad
ly that she died within about three
hours.
The father works in Wilkes Barre
and so was absent from home 1t is
said that the mother went out after
chestnuts that afternoon, leaving the
four children at home alone. 1t is
supposed that they got matches, and
in lighting them Mabers dress was
set on fire. She ran blazing into the
back yard, where Lee B. Rosengrant,
a neighbor, saw her and ran over and
wrapped a carpet about her, smother
ing the flames. The childs clothing
was almost entirely burned off, how
ever, and her flesh was cooked from
head to foot. She remained con.
scious up until about the time of her
death, suffering greatly.

DROWNING ACCIDENT.
Philander Moon, Aged 30, Lost His
Life in CallapOOse Pond.

Philander Moon, aged 70 years,
a resident of Dunmore, was drown
ed Friday last in a pond at Gala
poose, this county, in a very strange
manner. Just how the accident
happened is unknown, but it is
thought that he was overcome by
faintness or paralysis and fell in
to the pond.
Mr.. Moon was visiting at the home
of his nephew, Henry Moon, and
Friday morning decided he would
go to the pond, which is near the
house, and try his hand at fishing,
After a couple of hours had passed,
the nephew thought that he would
walk over to the pond and see what
luck the old gentleman was having,
When he first reached the place he
could see nothing of him, but on
walking around the edge of the
pond he came upon the body of the
old gentleman, lying face downward
near the shore.
He was dead when taken from the
pond and had probably been dead
some time. 1t is thought that he
was stricken with vertigo or possibly
faintness and fell into the water,
drowning before he recovered con-
sciousness. The body was taken to
his home in Dunmore Saturday.

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. 24.-Last
Wednesday Cephas NJ. Layman, aged
27 years, of Waynesboro, committed
suicide by taking a large dose of
strychnine. With a friend, he went
into restaurant to get something
to eat. Layman ordered that the
piano be played. 1t was of the self
playing variety and as soon as it
tuned up Layman pulled a small
package from his pocket and emptied
the contents into his mouth. Medi-
cal aid was summoned, but in about
an hour Layman died. To several
persons during the day he said that
they would never see him again, but
they only laughed at him. When he
left his home in the evening he said
that he would never again close the
gate. Just before he died he saiu
that it was the death of his sister
that had led him to commit the
deed.

Mail Order Divorce.

Towanda. Oct. 24.-George Sweet,
of Sugar Run, near Towanda, who got
wife by advertising for one, today
got divorce from her. Without hav-

correspondence for eight years, and
then married her on June II, 1905,
twenty-four hours after the two met
for the first time. Four days later
Sweets wife left him, saying she was
going to Cleveland to see about her
estate. Later he received a letter
saying that she had gone to Canada
and he would never see her again.
Among the replies that Sweet got
to an advertisement in a matrimonial
paper was one from a girl in Win
chester, KY, and it was this girl that
after eight years of correspondence
he finally married.
