he thought no more Of the Incident un'
til noOn-quitting time.
Then as he removed the cover OF
the dinner pail, in profound bewilder-
ment he stared. A napkin spOtiessly
white came first. Beneath was a
heap Of dainty meat sandwiches. A
layer of lettuce leaves, and there nes-
tied a square of pie nudging harmoni-
ously a thick slice of raisin cake.
my original lunch must have spilled
out, and those two mischievous lads
in a spasm of contrition must have
recovered the pail and had it refilled
at home," reasoned Alvin. Home
oh, somewhere in this town there is
famous cook! My favorite dainty,
too-raisin bread!"
The toothsomeness of the unexPect-
ed repast fingered like after fragrance
of a rose, as he passed the spot where
the catastrophe of the dinner pail had
transpired. Alvin had never before
noticed the sylvan beauty of the little
cottage standing back from the road
amid a nest of greenery and flowers.
For the first time, too, he observed
a written card nailed to the fence
post. 1t read: Can accommodate
one or two boarders."
IF the food they dispense is any
thing like what l got today" ruminated
Alvin, "I can't do better than make
the change"
Which Alvin proceeded to do the
next day. The comfort and coziness
of the place delighted hind There was
an added charm. He found that the
widow who owned the house had a
daughter who assumed the duties Of
hostess in a way that made him feel
at home.
Meta Day was beautiful girl. She
was musical and so was Alvin. Two
pleasant evenings surrounded by real
friendliness and culture gave Alvin q
new spur in life.
The third evening as he sat down
to supper there was raisin bread. He
could not help but praise it. Then
naturally in his usual good-natured
way Alvin recited the episode OF the
disappearing dinner pail. He COM
mended the worthy restitution made
by the two mischievous boys.
why" suddenly spoke up Mrs. Day,
Meta made them return the dinner
pail"
"Mother!" warned Meta, flushing
deeply.
Yes, and it was Meta who filled
the dinner pail" proceeded Mrs. Day
"Its original contents had gone into
the river She made the boys recover
the dinner pail"
Alvin glanced gratefully at Meta
Amid her confusion she seemed love
lier than ever to him.
One evening two months later, com
ing home from work, Alvin was con
siderably surprised to meet his uncle
Gideon Blake.
"Ah, have found him at last, deal

NEW HAVEN TRIAL
MAY GO ON ROAD
Whole Court, in Special
Train, to Tour New Eng
land. Defence Plans.
WILL BLAME ACTS ON
STATE LAW CONFLICT
Alleged Wrongful Operations
Really Virtuous Ones, Di-
rectOrs Hope to Prove.

The New Haven trial is going on
the road if Delaney Nicoll, of coun-
sci for the defence, prevails in n'1-
tion he started going yesterday. Ae-
cording to Mr.. Nicoll, twenty-five days
sitting in a courtroom listening 70 the
reading of ancient documents and look
ing at blue print maps, which Charles
s. Mellen declared wrong yesterday in
several important respects, has tailed
to give the jury an adequate idea 4
the New Haven Railroad system.
Therefore he proposed that the court
and jury be bundled into a we'll ap-
pointed special train and be taken on
a comprehensive tour over the rails OF
New England He served notice that
the defence was dead in earnest in
this suggestion, and was supported in
his stand by K. v. Lindabury and othor
members Of the defence.
Judge Hunt was somewhat taken
aback by the idea, and. although he
showed a disinclination to accept it,
he admitted there was precedent FOR
such procedure and that there was no
doubt of the courts power to adont
it. r. L. Bats, Of counsel for tho
government, tried to dismiss the mat
ter as q joke-"ss an instance Of Mr..
NicolPs delightful humor," he said, but
Mr.. Nicoll repudiated all suggestions
that he was joking, and said the issue
would be fought out as soon ar the
government finished putting In its case.
The seriousness Of the proposal was
explained by a member of counsel for
the defence, in view Of the theory on
which the acts Of the New Haven will
be defended They will accept TIE
greater part Of the acts the govern
ment has proved, and will argue that,
Instead Of being wrongful acts, they
we're really acts of virtue in building
up an efficient and comprehensive rail-
road system for New England out of
a chaos Of small warning roads.
The full significance Of this, they
say, can be realized only by trip
over the linee, so that conditions can
be noted. They will also argue that
the Now Haven was forced to do d
great many things it did not want to
do, because Of the conflict in state laws
among the Ave New England states
covered by the system.
II New England were ell one state
the size Of Texas, where Mr.. Bats
comes from, they argue, there would
never have been any questions as to
the New Haven's operations, the crvss-
ing Of artificial state lines being the
only fact that makes the prosecution
possible. To fully understand the
actual unity Of New England. q trip
by the jury, they believe, will DO
needed.
Under questioning from Mr.. Bats,
Mr. Mellen told yesterday of how the
proposition for the acquisition Of tho
Boston & Maine was first broached TO
him in 1907 by Gardiner Lane, who
came to him in his stateroom on
train and told him the owners of that
line were ready to sell out. The ac-
QUESTION was carried out By means of
stock exchange, the negotiations be-

Senator Robert F. Wagner. Demo-

day in Albany that he would introduce
bill in the Legislature calling for tho
removal from the Croton watershed Of
the two Mohansic institutions that
threaten pollution Of New York's water
supply.
"A matter of this kind, which in
wolves the city's water supply and in
turn the city's health" said Senator
Wagner, "is something which should
be settled Immediately and in only one
way. If the presence Of the State Hos
pital and the Training School in the
Croton watershed is likely to pollute
New York's water supply the insttu-
tions should be located elsewhere.
assume that some of the money, at
least that spent for land at Mohansic

way to remedy the situation the people
of New York City may depend on me to

Asks 100000 of w. Lyon,
Tooth Powder Man, for
AllegedBr
WESTMINSTER ABBEY
TO BE SCENE, SHE SAYS
Never Pledged to Wed, and |
Won't Give a Nickel" Is De.
fendant's Reply to Action.

Ono feature Of the breach Of promise
suit brought yesterday by Miss Mar
garet Connell. formerly a Fifth Avenue
modiste, against Whitney Lyon
wealthy widower. who is member OF
/. W. Lyon & Sons, manufacturers OF
tooth powder and other dental supplies,
distinguished IL from other similar
actions.
Miss Connell asks 100000 damages
from Lyon. but among her other alle-
cations she declares that Lyon even
went so far as to pick out Westminster
Abbey. London, % the place for their
wedding. Miss Connell also says the
date was to be in June, 1914, TWO
months after the alleged promise. Mr..
Lyon has changed his mind since max
ing the promise, it is alleged. So. in
stead Of the romance ending in the
national sanctuary Of England 1t will
be dragged into the Supreme Court.
Mr. Lyon has a son at Yale and
daughter at Wellesley. He has resi-
cence at 375 Park Avenue. an apart.
ment at the Hotel Kinckerbocker and
a summer place at New Canaan, Conn.
He is several years older than the
woman suing him, whose age is gwen
as thirty. IL was said for the de-
fendant yesterday that he had known
Miss Connell for eighteen years and
that she used to be a seamstress FOR
his late wife. :,
Miss Connell's story is that she had
been a member Of the Lyon household
at New Canaan for several seasons,
and that she was there with the Lyon
family last summer. She says Mr..
Lyon asked her IN April, 1914, to marry
him and that she consented. In fact.
she asserts, she is still willing TO
marry him.
When the time for the ceremony in
Westminster came Miss Connell was
i'll and the marriage was postponed.
When she recovered, says the plaintiff,
she learned from Mr.. Lyon that he had
changed his mind, ''in spite Of he fact
that before my illness he had been
most ardent and insistent that the
ceremony take place on the date set. y
Miss Connell also complains that
prior 10 the time of the alleged be-
trothal she maintained on Fifth Avenue
a "dressmaking emporium which she
SAYS was one Of the most stylish and
correct in New York" Miss Connell
alleges that she was induced by Mr.
Lyon 10 abandon this lucrative enter
prise and take quarters in building
in Forty-fourth Street, where Mr.. Lyon
also had temporary office. There Miss
Connell wound up her business In an
