the dining room Somes was there
in attendance as usual. A pile of
morning papers lay ON the buffet
Gormly made step toward them; but
checked himself.
Why" he thought, should l spoil
my breakfast by reading what the
newspapers have to say on the i'm

news will keep Let me at least eat
in peace

deferentially; '.but aren't you going to
look over the papers. sir. before you
eat?"
mo, thank you, Somes. l can guess
pretty well what they win say
But Somes was unusually per-
sfstent as well as greatly agitated.
He had been up early and had read
every scrap in every paper

It'll add to your appetite If you will

Gormly shook his head and frowned
a little
That will do. Soonest" he said
somewhat shortly. Il will see the pa

After this somewhat peremptory re
mark, the man naturally subsidized

were plainly visible in his nervous
movements. He was usually the most

you procure such refreshments as
Colonel Hamilton is accustomed to

you know the dope, boy. I want
1t straight too. Same's we had the
other night
Yes, SIR answered the reporter
I'll have it here in minute"
Now, Colonel Hamilton said the
editor, you have rendered the peo-
pie of New York, Mr.. George Gormly,
and incidentally The New York Planet
about as great a service as we could
expect to receive from human being.
What you have said throws an en-
tirely new light upon Mr.. Gormly's let
ter. He is in much more admirable
position through you. Why, he ap-
pears in this like a hero. Mr.. Shaw,
will you put this matter in shape to
accompany Gormly's letter, while i
comment editorially upon it?"
At this moment the cub reporter en-
tered with bottle and glasses.

MANY SUNDAY
VISITORS HERE

More people came to this city yes
terday for pleasure than ever visited
here before except upon some special
occasion. The Wilson Line boats were
filled on every trip and not only
brought a large number Of visitors to
this city but took away a considerable
number of Wilmingtonians who were
making a trip for the day. Most of the
visitors who came here on the boats
took the cars Of the Peoples Rail-
way and went to Brandywine Springs
Park. There were so many visitors
that IL was necessary TO put the cars
on a ten minute schedule and then to
put on a number of boat trippcrs TO
run to the steamboat wharf. The
crowd was surprising in view of the
fact that the park will not formally
open until Saturday next.
