quite an experience on one Of the
rainy days of last week, which they
have been trying to keep from the
knowledge of their relatives and
friends in that village. They walked
UP from Port Orange ON the ocean
beach, picking up seashells on the
way, but were Overaaken by the rain
and had nothing with them for pro-
lection. They were thoroughly
soaked before they reached this city,
and not wishing to admit their
plight to friends at Port Orange,
who had warned them of the
weather. they secured a room here
and went to bed until their wearing
apparel could be dried and this kept
them here until the following day.
Now their friends are curious to
know where they spent the time and
what they did while absent from
Port Orange and to protect them
selves they may yet have 20 confess.

when he says:

Ward Lamon. who knew him Intimately goes
more into details. He says: Mr.. Lincoln was
about six feet four inches high, the length of his
legs being out of all proportion to that OF his
body. When he sat down in a chair he seemed
no taller than average man, measuring from
the chair to the crown of his head; but his knees
