could not help but smile at some of
the shrewd witticisms of the actor
stranger who suggested an mex
haustible wave of jo1lity.
There came a letter for Dalzel
while he was in the midst of an up
roariously comical recital of the woes
of a stranded Thespian. Dalzell's
face grew instantly grave, but he fin
ished his story, and then with last
gay remark excused himself and went
a secluded corner of the lobby.
Chester was fairly astonished as he
secretly but intently observed Dalzen.
The latter opened the letter. Across
his expressive face there came a SOL
emn change. 1t seemed as II he had
thrown off an irksone mask. Care,
anxiety, grief traEersed his features
in. rapid and poignant succession.
Tears coursed down his cheeks.
"a mystery" reflected the young
lawyer. why, he looks ten years
older than he did five minutes since"
But inside of an hour Dalzell had
rejoined the group which so admired
him and enjoyed his ceaseless fund of
merriment. Only, ever and anon the
watchful Chester noted that Dalzen
placed his hand against the pocket
where he had deposited the letter,
just as though underneath it there
was keen pain in his heart.
The two performances took place.
They were a grand success. The
Wordens and all their friends worked
like beavers to make it so. The en-
tire county attended, and, after pay
ing off his dramatic assistants and
other expenses, Dalzel left the town
the happy possessor Of 5000.
Crowds waved him friendly adieu
as the train departed. No one noticed
the young lawyer, closely EMBODIED in
a huge coat, quietly take place in a |
rear seat of the coach in which Dali

They met him at hotel three hours
later.

on" explained Chester. This strange
man, Dalzen, is indeed true man,
and you can help him in a signal

Eyes. 1t is sad story. A year ago
Dalzen welded a lovely, sprightly
young girl who had acted with him
on the stage. They went from the
house of the officiating clergyman
straight to their duties on the stage.

RANGELEY MAN
LOST IN WOODS

Pennington, Me. Sept. l7.-Word was
received here yesterday that Fred Wat
kinson of Rangeley. a civil engineer. has
been missing for more than two weeks
and il is feared that he is a victim of an
accident in the big woods north Of that
town.
On Aug. y he left the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. o. Templeton in Oquos-
soc to go to Cuptuptic and two days
later he was in the camp Of the Berlin
Mills Co. in that township. Since leaving
that camp all traces Of Watkinson have
been lost
1t was known that he owned bear traps
in that section, but search of them dis
prove the theory that by accident he had
become caught in them. Watkinson was
formerly in the government employ in
Panama. but went TO the RangeIey's a
few weeks ago 10 recover his health. He
was engaged when he disappeared on
plans for the new Rangeley Electric
Light Plant
Watkinson has no relatives in this sec
ton. He was born in Michigan of Eng
lish parents and his mother and brother
live in Ontario. Systematic search for
him is being orga nized.

A panic nearly ensued early Friday
morning when fire was discovered in a
bed in a vacant room on the top floor of
the four-story brick building at 4s Brown
street, Portland. occupied as rooming
house by Mr.. Sollito. The fire was dis
covered when Miss Mary Murray. a
roomer. was awakened by the smoke. and
in her excitement. she aroused all the
people in the house. Clothes were hur-
riedly carried to the ground floor. and
all the occupants were preparing TO move
out their belongings. A still alarm called
apparatus from engine house and the
Central fire station, and the fire was con-
fined TO the bed in which it started. How
the fire started is a mystery. as Miss
Murray is the only roomer on the top
floor, and the room in which the fire was
discovered is rnoccupied. Had the flames
gained any headway. undoubtedly much
damage would have been done.
