Man Dies After Fifty Years Silence

nIGBY. NOVA SCOTIA.-Within a
Dfew hundred yards Of beach where
81 years ago two fishermen found him
with his legs amputated, "Gerome.' %
Nova Scotia's man OF mystery, died a
few days ago. silent to the end about
his identity.
Although he undoubtedly possessed
the power Of speech, "Gerome" had not
conversed with anyone in the half cen
tury he had been cared for by Didier
Comeau and the latter's sons and
daughters. During all Of this time
"Gerome" had remained a mystery TO
the settlers here, most Of whom are
known as returned Arcadians," being
the descendants of the compatriots Of
Evangeline who returned to this part
Of their adopted country after their ex-
pulsion by the English in 1855.

a small boat which made for the shore
and deposited above the tide line an
object that several hours later was
discovered to be a man. His legs had
been freshly amputated and there was
a jug Of water and a package of ships
biscuit beside the man, who had suf-
fered greatly from exposure.

he has been a welcome member Of the

The body was clad in blue suit and

the object and he threw on the power

With an indignant look the girl with
her burden marched on her way. She
was Miss Annie Brown, president of
the junior class Of Forest Park uni
ve sity, who was carrying her eflgy to
a grocery store half a mile away to
burn 1t. BY burning her own efigy
Miss Brown established precedent.
As the climax In the class nght
which had been on between the junior
and senior classes for three days, the
seniors had distracted a dress Of Miss
Brown. stuffed it with paper and ags

elder Comeau, the man made muttered

Physicians from all parts Of the

Evangeline in the 81 summers that
have elapsed since "Gerome' was
found on the beach, have studied the
mans case. Most of them have agreed
that he might have spoken had he de-
cided to do so; one or two have vouch-
aafed tho opinion that some terrible
experience through which "Gerome'
passed frightened him out of his
senses and rendered him unable to ut

CHAPTER u.

Brockett, eager to conclude his err
rand and join his companions, lost no
time on the road. BY five o'clock the
tall youngster was busily engaged in
an argument, accompanied by prac-
teal demonstrations pro and con. as
to the utility OF the Lange steal. Some
twenty OF Brocketts friends-clerks
like himself. collegians home on vaca-
tion, and even the two sons of a Slam
ese legation oflicial-debated the prac-
ticability of the trick by which Big
Bill Lange, the great star Of the long
ago, was wont to annex the middle
station. Brockett and half the crowd
maintained that the steal was not
only possible but almost unstoppable;
the Siamese youngsters and the rest
Of the little gathering declared that
an alert battery, backed by quick
thinking inhelders, would make the
play a certain loser.

and any arm at ALL" declaimed Chula
Ian Kon of Siam and Princeton. "and
a second baseman who can come up

or a wild throw"
you don't grasp the point" Brock
EFT responded. THE catcher doesn't
figure in this steal at all. He is a
dead one. He is exactly as If he had
never existed. The trick in the Lange
steal is to stop on first till the pitch
is over, and then, when the catcher
/ begins to return the ball TO the pitch
/ er, you go down. It's three to one.

and throw wide, or that the second
baseman, not figuring on steal, has
moved away to play for the batsman." &"
"A pitcher who keeps his wits
about him." negatived Ramon Solano,
| the junior cashier of the Cuban to-
bacco house, wouldn't fall for that
play at all. Try it, with me on the
slab. and see how it goes through"
The experiment was Immediately
made. Chula Ian Kon, donning the
mask, went behind the plate; Solano
took a pitching attitude on the slab.
and Brockett impersonated the daring
base runner. Second was covered by
fast little infielder from Annapolis,
and a Dartmouth shortstop prepared
to take alternate throws. 1t took ff-
teen minutes to fully work out the
theories Of the Lange steal, and the
sentiments of the whole throng were
voiced when Chula Ian Kon re-
marked didactically. IF you make it,
you are hero. and if you don't make
it you are a bone-head,"
Darkness dispersed the crowd, and
Brockett. dead tired but full of the
sheer joy of living, strolled away with
Ramon Solano-his chosen friend and
confidant. and linked in comradeship

Girls to Enforce Hat Pin Ordinance

And since the decision has been
made. the next step is to get the girls.
The chief says he has received letters
from many volunteers. From these he
will choose the beauties" and they
will be placed in charge Of Mrs. Mary
Owens, Chicago's only police woman.

will touch her on the shoulder and
suggest that, The captain wants
you"
And herein lies just one fear that
may wreck the proposed beauty squad
before its organization.
What if the woman shouts: What
for?" and the beauty policeman says:
Your hat pins are too long; they
stick out too far; you are under ar
rest" will the arrested one cry Leave
me alone or I'll scratch your eyes
out?"
VIII this be followed by real hair
pulling contest? And will the original
gentleman policeman have to cry

both fighters for a ride in the blue
wagon?
These are questions experience alone
can solve. And Chief McWeeny says

just to try out his plan.
