Colosino. OF No. $50 Third-ave., who
were with him in the car, had given
their names and addresses TO Motor
cycle officer w. 5. Field, and had
taken the injured man to the hos
pital, where. Leshner insists, he left
his card. and asked 20 be notified Of
the patients condition.
Morning paper stories OF the "mys-
terry" were seen by l,esher, who
promptly went to police headquar-
tiers, and reported what had occurred.
The report was later found by the
police, mislaid.
Lesher and his witnesses went to
the prosecutors Office made their
statements, and were not held. He
satisfied the prosecutor and the cor
oner that the man stepped in front
OF the auto. as it was travelling at
not more than IL miles an hour; that
the man hesitated In front OF the ma
chine, which was stopped just as IL
hit him. and knocked him down. The
victim was not thought by Field or
Lesher to be seriously hurt Internal
injuries caused death

York Sun.
Dizzy Is not a homer. but for an or.

trees all the 700 miles by train from
Goldfeld to San Francisco, and then
to her home here. Marion kissed Dizzy
good-by at Goldfield and then wept.
She looked out of the car window
and there was Dizzy. She took it in,

RECOMMENDATION.

Remuneration.
On the third day after the singular
trial OF Hetty Castleton in Sara's H.
brary, young Mrs. Wrandalls motor
drew up in front of lofty Office build
ing in lower Broadway; its owner
stepped down from the limousine and
entered the building. A few moments
later she walked briskly into the
splendid Offices of Wrandall & Co.,
private bankers and steamship-own-
ers. The clerks in the outer offices
stared for a moment in significant
surprise, and then bowed respectfully
to the beautiful silent partner in the
great concern.
IL was the first time she had been
seen in the offices since the tragic
event that had served to make her a
member of the firm. A boy at the in

took up the picture in her gloved

Presently she entered the library
She had exchanged her tailor-suit for

seated in the big lounging chair, be-
fore the swapping fire. apparently not
having moved since she looked in on
passing a quarter Of an hour before
One of the girls legs was curled up
under her, the other swung loose; an
elbow rested on the arm of the chair,
and her cheek was in her hand.
Coming softly up from behind, Sara
leaned over the back of the chair and
put her hands under her friends chin
tenderly, lovingly. Hetty started and
shivered.
