HID WEALTH UNDER CARPET
Ledger in New York Rooming House
Had Considerable Sum Put Apart
From Frying Eyes.

Three Lank books, showing bal.
ance of $4,000, including accrued inter-
est, were found and turned over to the
public administrator of New York city
by Mrs. Juliet O'Keefe of 679 East
One Hundred and Seyenty-ninth
street, The Bronx.
The books were found underneath a
carpet in Mrs. O'Keefe's home, and at
the suggestion of her brother. who IL
lawyer. Edward J. Kelly Of 357 Full.
ton street, Jamaica, Mrs. O'Keefe
transferred them to the administrator.
The name in the books show that
they belonged to Thomas Griffin, one
of Mrs O'keefe's boarders when she
ran large boarding house twelve
years ago, at 1923 East One Hundred
and Fiftieth street Griffin was q
street car conductor and had come
from Salem. On May 20, 1903, he was
taken TO Fordham hospital, seriousl.
i'll, and he died there after an opera
lion. He did not reveal the presence
of the bank books.
Mrs. O'Keefe says he was always
reticent with her and his fellow board
ers regarding himself and his rela-
tives.
The day before he died l called at
the hospital and asked him If he
wished me to communicate with any
relatives or friends" said Mrs.
O'Keefe. "He replied he had none,
and gave me no hint of the hidden
bank books"
The bank books wiz be held for rel
atives of the dead man, if any may be
found.

Papuans Die Younu.

The average duration of life is
shorter in Papua or New Guinea than
in any other country, possibly owing
to the peculiar diet affected by the
natives, who devour with gusto the
larva If beetles, dug out of decayed
tree trunks and habitually drink sea
water when near the coast. The
people die off at about 49," we are told
in A. f. Pratt's Two Years Among the
New Guinea Cannibals. I'VE saw one
very Old man, who may have been
about GO years of age-the only exam.
pie Of longevity that we came across.
He was bent almost double, and had
a long white beard. His fellow tribes
men regarded him as great curiosity
and brought him to see US. Despite
the deCrepitude Of his body, however,
there was no trace of senility: his
senses were unimpaired. and the poor
old creature showed great gratitude
for gift of tobacco"

these: About seven o'clock the night
before last, as Leithcourt and his house
party were dressing for dinner, tele-
gram arrived Mrs. Leithcourt opened
it and at once went off into Mysteries,
while her husband, in a breathess
hurry, slipped off his evening clothes
again and got into an old blue serge
suit, tossed few things into bag, and
then went along to Muriel's room to
urge her to prepare for secret flight"
Flight" | gasped. What. have
they gomez
Listen, and I'll tell you. The serv-
ants have described the whole affair
down in the village, so there's no doubt
about it. Leithcourt showed Muriel
the telegram and urged her to fly. At
first she refused, but for her fathers
sake was induced to prepare to accom-
pany him. Of course, the guests were
in ignorance Of all this The brougham
was ordered to be ready in the stable
yard and not to go round, while Mrs.
Leithcourt's maid tried to bring the
lady back to her senses. Leithcourt
himself, it seemed, rushed hither and
thither, Selling the jewel cases of his
wife and daughter and whatever valu-
ables he could place his hand upon.
while the mother and daughter were
putting on their things, AS he rushed
down the main staircase to the library,
where his check book and some ready
cash were locked in the SAFE he met a
stranger who had just been admitted
and shown into the room. Leithcourt
closed the door and faced him. What
afterward transpired, however, is a
mystery, for two hours later, after he
and the two women had escaped, leav-
ing the house party to their own diver
sions, the stranger was found locked
in a large cupboard and insensible.
The sensation was tremendous one.
Cowan, the doctor, was called, and de-
clared that the stranger had been
drugged and was suffering from some
narcotic. The servant who admitted
him declared that the man had said
he had an appointment with his master

Mukden Water Project,

permission to install waterworks In

shares of $40 each The amount to
be paid up before starting work is

be paid up when required. Such a
scheme is doubtless workable and
would be profitable if properly man.
aged, for Mukden has a population Of
175,OOO.
The scheme does not include piping
for houses, but the water is to be
conveyed to street hydrants from
which every householder will be al

who wish to have water in their
houses Will be able to do so later BY

Exercise for Thin Folks

When it comes to the question OF
exercise, the thin woman will do. well
% remember5 the old Greek warning,
Nothing too much" She assuredly
needs a certain amount of gentle ex-
ercise every day, but she does not
need and ought not to take up the
violent sports which will do the fat
woman all the good in the world.
. There are two outdoor practices, how
ever, which will be Of great benefit to
The thin woman One of these is
walking the other is swimming.
When the thin woman walks she
should not try to see how much
ground she can cover in certain
period Of time. Let her walk quietly
and at a moderate pace, paying par
.icular attention to her breathing.
Walking in the fresh air will help
you to breathe correctly, and it will
also give you splendid appetite for
those three meals of good, wholesome
food of which you ought to dispose
laily. Swimming also will aid your
appetite, and it is positively the best
anu quickest way to develop the bust
and shoulders. This is the swimming
season; don't fail to learn if you want

mystery until it was all bewildering
HAD 1t not been for the mystery Of it
ail-and mystery ever arouses the hui

Trying to get at the truth. Yet as a
man with some leisure, and knowing
by that letter of Elma Heath's that she
was IN sore Distress | redoubled my
eHorts TO ascertain the reason of it all.
On leaving Leghorn | had given up
all nope of tracing the mysterious
yachtsman and had left the matter in
the hands Of the Italian police. But,
without any effort on my own part, !
seemed to have been drawn into a YER
liable network Of strange incidents, all
or which combined to form the most
complete and remarkable enigma ever
presented in life
Those September days were full of
anxiety for me- Alone and unaided |

verltable sea of mystery. l wanted to
see Muriel Leithcourt, and to question
her further regarding Elma Heath.
Therefore again l left Euston and.
travelling through the night, took my
seat at the breakfast table at Green

Sir George, who was sitting alone

bluff manner shifted and exclaimed:
