BY HARVEY PRENTICE.

Hamlin sat beside the bed, watching
the house surgeon as he examined the
little patient. Three hours before the
boy had been brought to st. Marks
hospital. his little body arched like a
bow. Nobody had believed a cure to
be possible at that stage-until they
sent for Hamlin.
Hamlin was looking at the boy, who
now lay quietly sleeping. The desper-
ately large injection of the serum had
saved him. dragged him back from the
Jaws of death. Twelve days previ-
ously, on the Fourth of July, the child
had injured his hand while setting of
firecrackers; tetanus had developed,
and but for Hamlin's serum, fatal
termination would have occurred. Now
recovery was assured.
This must be the hundredth life
you've saved, DOCTOR" said the house
surgeon.
But Hamlin did not answer, for the
words had only deepened the bitter
ness in his soul. What were those
hundred lives saved for the one life
lost to him?
1t was nearly six years since Miriam
Gray had broken their engagement.
It had occurred so quickly, with such
dramatic swiftness, that he had not
even felt the pang till she was gone
out of his life irrevocably. Their en-
gagement had been a dream of happi-
ness. During the four short weeks
that it lasted Hamlin's soul had seem
ed as though winged; his work was
consecrated now. 1t had been for
merly vague desire to benefit hui
manity; now 1t was for Miriam.
She knew he was a doctor, attached
to the institute. but she did not
know the nature of his duties. He
had told her when three weeks re-
manned before their wedding day. He
had told her eagerly, enthusiastically,
Of his specific researches into the
cause and cure of tetanus. There was
a serum. he said, but it was, In the
main, unsatisfactory. He had I'm

STRIKE EMPTIES CHURCHES
Yonkers Folk, Trolleyless, Stay
Away from Services.

For the fifth day Yonkers was without
trolley service yesterday. Clergymen
preached 10 small congregations and the
streets were almost deserted. people gem
orally remaining at home 10 rest feet tired
from unaccustomed walking.
City officials and the strikers marked
time pending receipt of answer from
Frederick W. WhitTidge, president OF the
Third Avenue Railroad Company and it's
Westminster County subsidiaries TO the
letter Of Mayor James r. Lennon, asking
him if he would consent 10 arbitration Of
his differences with the Yonkers trolley
men. This he had promised TO send to-
day.
If an answer is not forthcoming, the
city probably will appeal 10 the Supreme
Court. the Public Service Commission and
tie Attorney General for relief, In the
shape OF a peremptory order to the com
pany TO resume the trolley service forth
with upon penalty OF forfeiture OF Its
franchises. The expected sympathetic
strike on the lines OF tho Westchester
Electric Railroad Company in Mount YER
non and New Rochelle did not material
lie, the trolleymen there taking their cue
from the Yonkers strikers and deferring
action until today.

THIEF TAKES ONLY CASH
Staten Island Burglar Ignores
All Other Valua bles.

For the last two weeks sneak thieves
have been active on Staten Island. Gar
ages have been broken into and parts OF
automobiles stolen, and private houses
ransacked. In several instances sums OF
money were taken.
The latest victim Is Charles Warner,
jr., rich retired manufacturer OF Staple
ton Heights. Warner Is in the South. but
his family Are at home. Yesterday. while
they were out for an automobile ride. a
sneak thief got into the place.
A grocer boy scared him OF. The thief
had cut the telephone wire before he be-
gan operations. He told the boy he was
a plumber. and the boy went away. How
ever, the stranger seemed 10 have become
timid after the lads visit and left tho
house minus loot.
Tho family later found everything
turned inside out and upside down. but
there was nothing missing. as far as
they could find out. Tho police say the
man was after money only, and there
was none IN the house.
A few days ago the home OF Postmaster
John Rhode. OF Stapleton, at Silver Lake
Heights, was ransacked. A quantity Of
silverware and other things OF value tho
thief left behind, but small amount OF
cash was found and carried OF.
