ever have been soft enough to receive
such impressions, while that pools of

Fix me up with dunnage for a craft

he made all sail and rolled his way
contentedly to his lodgings on Pine

head cuddled confidingly into the hol-
low of one brawny arm.
But the baby didn't go aboard ship.
Mrs. Frances Emery, wife Of Owen
Emery employed on Goat Island. and
mother of the baby. whose name is
Natalie, was given back her baby
after the sailor learned through the
papers of its parents.
1t seems that Mrs. Emery left the
baby in care of male companion
while she was shooting in a Kearny

turn left the baby in the restaurant.

the door to that room up there was
standing half open when Burton
passed by it at seven o'clock this
morning-that is to say, yesterday
morning. for this is now Wednesday.
It is quite clear, from this, that she
neglected to close the door tightly
when she came out, probably through
haste or fear, and the draft in the hall
blew 1t wider open during the night.
Burton says the inn was closed for
the night at half-past ten. He went
to bed. She must have slipped out
after everyone was sound asleep.
There were no other guests on that
floor Burton and his wife sleep on
this floor, and the servants are at the
top of the house and in wing. No
one heard a sound. We have not the
remotest idea when the thing hap

dead. He was partly dressed. His
coat and vest hung over the back of
a chair. A small service carving
knife, belonging to the inn, had been
driven scuarely into his heart and was
found sticking there. Burton says
that the man, on their arrival at the
inn, about nine o'clock at night, or

The tray of dishes, with most of the
food untouched, and an empty cham

table near the bed. One of the chairs
was overturned. The servant who took
the meal to the room says that the
woman was sitting at the window
with her wraps on, motor veil and all,
just as she was when she came into
the place. The man gave all the direc-
tons. the woman apparently paying
no attention to what was going on.
The waitress left the room without
seeing her face. She had instructions
not to come for the tray until morn
ing.
That was the last time the man
was seen alive. No one has seen the

hearing the key turn in the lock as
she went down the hall. It seems
