with some difficulty. but with great de-
termination, he got to the dock.
He miscalCulated his strength once
more as he entered the electric auto
mobile waiting on the dock. and sank to
his knees. but recovered himself. The
electric car was driven through the big
passenger exit to within few feet of
President Ralph Peters's private car.
On the way the Mayor recognized some
ot the old employees of the road whom
he has known for years, and greeted
them
Silent on Railroad Trip.
When the Gayuor party boarded the
car the train. which. in addition to the
private car. was composed Of combina-
ton baggage and smoking car. pulled out
in charge of Conductor ". s Woods
with Howard Davis as engineer Traffic
Superintendent Hartenstein made the
trip TO see that everything went right all
along the line. The Mayor sat al the
rear of the train. with Mrs. Gaynor at
his side. He was silent all the way
along. but did not appear to be at all
fatigued
AS the train rolled along the news Of
its coming was flashed ahead. and when
at 12:I5 p. m. it reached St. James fifty
o. more of the Mayors neighbors had
gathered. They sent up a cheer as the
train came in. but kept al respectful
distance. as they had been informed that
he was still weak and must not be dis
turbed City Chamberlain Hyde's car was
waiting al the station, and the Mayor,
who said he was glad to get home be
cause he was hungry. walked down the
steps and across the platform without
help and stepped into the car without a
mishap.
When he reached home he was vel
coined by the younger children. He de-
clined assistance on reaching the steps
leading to the front porch. and again his
weakness was made manifest as he tum
bIed TO his knees. He remarked that it
was not weakness, but failure to remem-
Der that he must raise his feet, as he had
not done for some weeks, that caused the
stumbling. DR.. Parrish was inclined to
advise q rest on a lounge or bed, but the
Mayor said he would feel better If he
could sit on his front porch, and again
he carried the day.
couple Of neighbors came up and
spoke to him. one man remarked that
he was glad TO see him and added that
the shooting was a shameful affair.

The Mayor in reply. made the most
extended reference TO the affair that has
fallen from his lips since he was shot.
II am entirely content he said. My
great hope is that the event Will help to
make me a better man, and patient and
just"
While the Mayor himself is pleased TO
see visitors his family are inclined to dis |
courage calls. They do this on instruc-
tions from the surgeons, who say that !
in his present weak condition conversa- |
ton should not be encouraged to any |
extent. This view Of the surgeons has |
heen communicated to the people of st. |
lanes who understand the situation. /
and while anxious TO show their sym
uathv they have agreed to refrain from !
calling. al least for a few days to come. |
The Mayor went into his house for |
luncheon and then came out on the |
front porch for a little while, He |
seemed to enjoy sitting there better than
anything else and went indoors only |
when he was advised that II was better
that he should get some rest.
Luke Clark his attendant enjoyed the |
ride down and admired the lawn at
DeepweHs Since he entered st. Mary's
Hospital as a patient, sixteen months
ago. and remained as an orderly. Luke
had not left the institution for more
than d couple of hours at a stretch. The
to lie out on the lawn and
enjoy the fine country breeze was vel
come change. especially after his ardu-
Gus hours at the Mayors bedside in the
last three weeks.
