Found Dead.

FounQ OSaQs
My motor boat, which had been
running swiftly and smoothly, with
the least possible clamor from the ex.
haust, suddenly missed a stroke and
then, after a succession Of choking
sobs, ceased all effort, and gradually
losing Roadway, drifted idly with the
tide.

from my seat in the stern to the cap
able young Irishman who was bend
ing over the motor-whispered, be-
cause, as all the world knows, the
water is a sounding board, and had
no intention of permitting any one
on shore to hear my words OF ap-
proval.
To all appearances the motor had
broken down, and we were voyagers
In distress.

Jerry unless l miss me guess, It'll

The slender scallop Of a new moon
had set an hour before, but the night
was UNANIMOUSLY clear, and the stars
blazed with an almost southern efrul-
gence. There was very little breeze
and the waters of the Mianus were
scarcely rippled. The air was chill.
however, though now and then there
came to us a warm breath from the
fields which all day long had lain bak-
ing In the fervent sunshine. Along
the shore to our left we caught the
CLINT of lights from the summer cot
tages.
To Jerry Rooney every inch of the
little bay and river was familiar
Each light was for him a landmark;
and so, as much by intuition as care
full calculation, he had clogged the
engine at a point whence, taking
tide and current into consideration,
we might count upon drifting to the
water end of Artist Murphy's lawn.
AS we drew nearer and he stealth
lily pointed out to me the location, /
was able to descry a little grove Of
trees, black in the starlight, making
horizontal barrier across the limit

'But it's out Of season." she de-
clared, promptly.
That makes small difference with

Her belief in her ability to lead me
to the tree of which we were in quest
was not unfounded. Twice she paused
and peered in between the gray
trunks which grew close to our path;
once she took step of the trail,
bending in keen-eyed search Of GER
tain familiar landmarks. These were
the only Interruptions to what was
otherwise a straight march to the
goal.
When, at length, we reached it, she
identified It beyond question, and
had little difficulty in finding the nall
from which the piece of canvas had
been suspended. 1t was one Of thin
wire, with very small head. driven
into the tree at a distance of about
four and a half feet from the ground.
Just beneath 1t found four scatter
ing bullet holes, with the bullets too
deeply embedded to be extracted with
so poor tool as a pocket knife.
From this 1t was evident that the
shots had been fired at comparative
ly short range, as indeed they must
have been, seeing that the trees here
grew so thickly as to make impossi-
BILE any very extended line Of sight
upon the target.
Somewhat to Evelyn's perplexity
began making a careful inspection Of
the ground, not only about the tree,
but as far away from 1t as the range
Of vision extended.
What are you looking for?" she
demanded, with a show Of concern,
and, l thought, a little peevishly.

"Only Cinderella's," and that put
her In good humor.
But l found something Of much

where the painting had hung. 1t was
half hidden by underbrush, and at
first mistook 1t for stone. Unob-

pocket.

He opened to me promptly, in per-

"Good-by!" l returned, releasing
her. "Your uncle shall have my most

The real significance of the words

But as stood watching her until a
turn in the path embodied her from
my sight, their echo, ringing in my
ears, impressed sme with their preg-
nancy. Her uncle was evidently the
focal point of a crafty and vengeful
conspiracy, the seriousness Of which
had been foolishly endeavoring to
minimize; and as such he was in
need. not only Of my concern, but Of
all the loyal, energetic, and efficient
aid of which l was capable.

When Governor Wilson named
George S. Silzer as prosecutor, and
the latter selected Joseph e. Strick-
er, as assistant, the EVENING
VIEWS, on commenting on the ap-
pointments, declared these men
make an excellent team and were
bound to establish a record for
themselves.
This prediction is being more than
fulfilled. The county is indeed for
tunate In having two such able law
yers holding such responsible posi-
lions.

THE PROSECUTORS OFFICE.

Excellent work Is being done by
the prosecutors office under the
leadership of George S. Silzer and
his able assistant Joseph e. Stricken.
No little credit in this regard, how
ever, is due Detective Richard A.
Peltier, who has been very success
full In running down some of the
most puzzling cases that the county
has been called upon to solve.
The killing of a little boy at
Deans a short time ago by an auto
mobile carrying a Pennsylvania IL
cense, Is one Of the striking exam
pies of the good work being done by
the county in this office. There was
hardly any clue to work on In this
case, but within a comparatively
short time the guilty party vas I'M
der arrest and has already been
tried. The fact that he was not
convicted does not in the least dim
inish the good work done by the
prosecutors Office In bringing the
man to Justice,
More recently we have another
automobile case in which a carriage
containing a young mar and woman
was struck by an automobile at
the time, the young woman was
found dead in bed next morning.
The prosecutor at once assigned De-
tective Peltier to the case and with
practically nothing upon which to
base his investigation the detective,
within a very few hours, had an ar
rest made and is certain that he had
evidence enough to convict.
AS a further appreciation of the
work done by this most important
county office, Assistant Prosecutor
Stricken has received a letter from
the executive secretary of the Char
ity Organization Society of Plain

work in a case in which the society
