She took sun-baths in her hammock;
she read novels; she spent hours IN
reverie blue eyes skyward, arms under
her head, swayed in her hammock by
the delicious winds of a perfect June.
All her composure and common
sense had returned. She began to eX-

maternal.

But the days went shining by, and

had not taken pity upon her tongue

ooh, this is simply dreadful she
argued with herself. Besides, want to

That evening she determined to full
fill her promise to Garcide as serupulously
as she kept all her promises.
She wore white at dinner, with a
great bunch of wild iris that Crawford
had brought her Towards the end of
the dinner she began to be frightened,
but it was the instinct of the Castles
to fight fear and overcome it.
I'm going to walk down to the little

She nodded, and he rose and attended
her to the door.
Then he lighted cigar and called for
a telegram blank.
This is what he wrote:

paper Crawford lay back smoking
and thinking of trout and forests and
blue skies and blue eyes that he should
miss very, very soon.
Meanwhile the possessor Of the blue
eyes was standing on the little foot-bridge
that crossed the water below the lawn.
faint freshness came upward to her
from the water cooling her face. She
looked down into that sparkling dusk
which hangs over woodland rivers, and
she saw the ripples, all silvered, flowing
under the moon, and the wild-chcrry
blossoms trembling and quivering with
the gray wings of moths.

QUERY ABOUT TRUNKS
RESULTS IN FUGITIVE
BANK CLERKS ARREST
Edward Thatcher Captured
After Inquiring About Lps-
gage He Left Here.
ACCUSED OF $4,000 THEFT

Edward Thatcher's anxiety over the
trunks which he left in the care of q
local express company when he de-
parted from here several weeks ago
led to his arrest by Pinkerton detec-
tives at Miami, Fa., yesterday on q
charge OF taking $21 900 worth of
bonds from the National Shawmut
Bank of Boston.
The Washington police obtained in
formation several weeks ago that
Thatcher was in the city, and Central
Office Detective O'Dea was sent out
to look for him.
O'Dea located Thatcher's rooms
here, but his bird had flown. He left
his trunks, however, and O'Dea fg.
ured they might come in handy 10
Thatcher, and so he notified the ex.
press company to watch for a ship
ment of the trunks.
Several days ago Inspector Grant
of the local detective bureau, says
the express company received q tele'
gram requesting that the trunks he
forwarded to Miami, Fla. Grant noti
ned the Pinkerton agency at Miami
and the arrest followed.
According to dispatches, the detec
tives got on Thatcher's trail through
q woman, said to be his wife, who
was selling bonds In Baltimore.
