Jean was to remain until Mrs. Craighill
returned with her husband; this had al
ready been stipulated. Mrs. Craighill had
made sure Of the girl; their evening to-
gether had afforded ample opportunity
for the Strengthening of ties Of annity.
She had tested Jean in her own way
and found her singularly guileless. In the
quiet of Mrs. Craighills sitting room she
had thrown open doors that revealed the
narrow vistas of a happy girlhood: and a
certain forlornness due to Jeans identif1ca-

She wore her hat to the breakfast table
and watched coldly the pains Wayne took
to interest the girl beside him. 1t was to
Jeans credit. however. that she seemed
properly embarrassed by Wayne's inter-
est. She turned often to Mrs. Craighill
and laughed sparingly at Wayne's chaf.
Wayne was conscious enough OF Mrs.
Craighilfs displeasure. A man who has
played the role Of loves adventurer, and
is at home in the part. does not expect
to be hero to two women at the same
table.

Pittsburg. February 5.--William
Than, the favorite cousin Of Harry Il.

began court proceedings to have him
declared Il habitual drunkard has
again startled Pittsburg by his fcats
of drinking. His mother Is once more
comforting with her attorneys regard

begged off on promise that he would
be good.
The record OF sixty-eight brandies
and soda was established recently by
William Thaw III. and he has only
now been released from the care OF
physicians who had him In hand for
many days aftor this feat.
The Allegheny Country Club, the
most fashionable organization in or
about Pittsburg. was the scene. Thaw
appears to have resented tho inslnua-

| brandics and soda at one sitting, and
| with u fairly good gallery he started
| in to pass the mark of twenty, After
1 the fiSty-eightf he collapsed.
1T had been expected that announce
ment Of the engagement of young
| Thaw to Mrs. Julia Watson Horne, the
divorced wife of Bernard Horne, of
T'ittsburg, was about to be made. The
drinking bout is even said to have
been a sort of premature celebration,
but Tonight friends of Mrs. Horne de-

~
Eaton, O.. March 1S-Excitement to
a degree of intensity reigns In the lit
tie village OF Gratis. nine miles south
east of Eaton, over the mysterious
disappearance of Noah Mullendore, q
bachelor resident of that place.
He has been missing from the home
of his brother, Ira Mullendore. since
Thursday afternoon, and efforts thus
far to locate his whereabouts have
proven vain. In view of the fact that
he is wealthy, owning a large, fertile
farm. and had sum of money on his
person when last seen, the belief that
he has met foul play is given some
credence.
Failing by inquiry among the neigh
borhood to ascertain a clue to the
missing man, relatives secured a pair
of bloodhounds from Dayton Friday
evening and started a search. So far
the efforts of the dogs have awaited
nothing.
Mullendore had just sold his tobac-
CO crop few days previous. and the
money received by him in payment is
accounted for only as being upon his
person.
The man was apparently in his usu-
al health and was physically strong,
but for the past two or three weeks
showed some signs that tended to lead
relatives to believe he was suffering
slightly from melancholia. He de-

Late in the afternoon he remarked
to his brothers wife that he would 60
for a walk to the creek, which flowed

sible inference is that he had suicided

watched for his body, and if not soon
found, the result of the search now
being made the bed of the creek will
be dragged.
