later she passed the window with tray,
and half hour after that another woman
came to the window and pulled the cur
tains down again."
"Could you see herr"
"Not her face. She didn't get in front
of the window, but pulled the curtains
from the side. All could see was her
blue kimono and her hair. She's not Miss
Hoyt, that's sure. The hair was golden,
or looked so in the sunlight"
"The blond with Farnham, you Think"
"Of course. I hung round for an hour
or so longer, but didn't get another
glimpse of her; SO at last l came on back
to town."
"VOU know, of course, that Miss Hoyt
was seen here yesterday"
II know some people say they saw her.
"Why-what do you mean?" I asked,
surprised.
For answer he crossed to the chair
where he had hung his coat in the course
of undressing, and dug into an inside
pocket.
Exhibit B, he said, and handed me a
prescription pad with the heading: "Dr.
Hollins Rice, 22O Madison Avenue"
"Dr. Hollins Rice is one of the persons
who say they saw Miss Hoyt," he re-
marked significantly.
II don't follow you," said.
well, can't say follow very far my
self, Dick; but l found that pad in an
East 26th Street fiat presided over by a Mrs.
John Rogers, nee Higgs-Higgs' sister,"
"How did you happen to stumble on
herr"
Every simply. Rogers, her husband, is
the chauffeur of Miss Wilmington, who
lives at the Kensington and receives on
Thursdays"
"The blond"
mo; Miss Wilmington is an old lady
of seventy. She is often ailing, and her
physician is DR.. Hollins Rice"
"Dr. Rice again!'
"Among other visitors who do not con-
fine their calls to Thursdays are Herbert
Farnham and Marcus Winter
winter! Not the broker friend of Miss
Hoyt who plays good tennis and hates to
lose? But what do these men 60 to Miss
Winnington's for?"
4For the fair sake of Miss Winnington's
companion, beautiful English girl named
Mary Leighton. She is blond-proba-
bly, our blond, and the Mary of the prayer
book; for l was told she had left last
night to visit friends in the country"
"But how did you find out all this?"
"By judicious pumping of the Kensing-
ton menials. At the garage where the
limousine puts up, learned that it had
spent the night out, being brought back
early this morning by its natural guardian,
the husband of Mrs. Higgs-Rogers, for
merly of Castle Darrow. You see, the
garage is boastful of the CASTLE
But how did you get into the Rogers
fat?'
"As an insurance agent. A chauffeurs
wife always believes in accident insurance.
Now, while I'm in the tub, just put all
I've told you into your thinking-pot, stir
we'll, and let me know what sort of a mess
you make of it. And just drop in this
last ingredient, he paused to add at the
bathroom door. "On the mantel of Mrs.

that Miss Hoyt had returned home.
Quickly finishing my dressing, hurried
out, eager for the news. 1t met me at the
elevator.
What's the extra about, JIMMY" the
little floor clerk called to a bell-boy, who
came along as surrendered my key at
her desk in the hall. Anything to do
with that Hoyt goil?"
"Uh-huh. Whatever think? Her fell

monished Jimmy. "They amt been to-
gether at all. He says they busted up for
keeps a week ago, and he amt saw her
since and don't know nothin' about her
why she skipped nor nothin'.'
you'll never make me believe that!"
Hes got that marriage license yet,
that they got up to Riverton, to prove
they amt married"
"That don't prove nothing the
porter entered the discussion. "He coulda

"If you think they're so awful cheap,
Rube, it's wonder you wouldn't blow

"Td blow you to one all right, Name"
joshed the porter. "Only, getting mar
reds like buying automobiles; it amt
the first cost that breaks you, it's the rum
ming expenses" And, with a guffaw in
which he was joined by the boy, he
trundled his load away.
The elevator door slid back, and two
men stepped off.
whats your theory?' heard one ask
the other. "Don't you think it's strange
that Farnham won't tell where he's been?'
STRANGE! How'd you like to have a
reporter step up suddenly and ask where
you've been for the last five days?' was
the laughing retort.
THE extra, l found, was chiefly head
lines. The news was merely that Farm
ham had returned, was shut up in his
rooms, and declined to be interviewed.
He had communicated with William
Rosser, Miss Hoyt's guardian, and with
her aunt, Mrs. Otison assuring them that

her engagement to him week before, and
since then he had neither seen nor heard
from her. Concerning his own movements
he would say only that he had been out of
town on private business.
tried to locate Tai: but found that he
had not been at his room nor at the
Record office that day.
As l hung about the hotel, began to
regret deserving him. Anything would
have been better than this waiting and
suspense. About three o'clock the papers
came out with an announcement which,
while not surprising to me, was welcome
as likely to clear up at once the seeming
mystery. Two persons claimed to have
seen Miss Hoyt on Fifth Avenue the pre-
ceding afternoon.
DR.. Hollins Rice 1.-THE account ranl,
physician of 22O Madison Avenue, says he
was walking up Fifth Avenue yesterday
afternoon about four o'clock, when, at the
southwest corner of rty-eighth Street. he
saw Miss Roberta Hoyt standing in con-
tin,, with a vOlnp man.

DIR. Hollins Rice 1.-THE account RAM, a
physician of 22O Madison Avenue, says he
was walking up Fifth Avenue yesterday
afternoon about four o'clock, when. at the
southwest corner of Thirty -eighth Street, he
saw Miss Roberta Hoyt standing in con-
yersation with young man.
"The mans back was toward me-" said
Dr. Rice, $50 veered a bit In their direction,
thinking that If he were some one knew
I'd stop for word with Miss Hoyt whom
I had not seen for some time. But when
got a view of the man saw he was a stranger.
SO passed on, and as Miss Hoyt happened
not to see me, we did not exchange greet
ings The man with her was young, twenty
four or so, tail. dark, and good-looking. He
wore. I think. blue serge suit and soft
black hat"
Asked how Miss Hoyt was dressed Dr.
Rice said she was In reddish-brown velvet.
1t was the color which had first drawn his
attention to her, he being familiar with it
as the shade she affected because it harmon
lied with her hair.
The other person who claims to have seen
Miss Hoyt yesterday is Dennis Mulrooney,
a taxi-tlriver. He was cruising up Fifth
Avenue, he says, about Ave O'Clock, looking
out for fare when. at the southeast corner
of Thirty eighth Street. he was stopped by

Reports from the upland regions
say that the winter apple crop was
badly damaged by last weeks wind

with such force that many Of the
apples were knocked from the trees.
The upland potato crop win also be

from lack Of rain. The vines are dry

NUMBER OF DRAYS IN
USE, CLEARING STREETS

Quite a number of drays have been
in use for the past several days,
clearing the streets of debris, princi-
pally a mass of tree branches which
had been blown down by the storm.
Wagons, carrying immense quantities,
have been kept busy, and yesterday
practically the entire length of Gads-
den street, from Palafox street al
most to the bayou bridge, had been
cleared. The city will move limbs
and branches from the streets, but the
employees have no instructions, to go
on private property and even assist
in hauling away remnants of fallen
trees. The refusal on the part of
city workmen has been the cause Of
some disappointment on the part Of
tenants in some parts of the city.

That the watermelon crop of this
section of the state has been seriously
damaged by the hurricane was the
statement of William James, Indus
trial Agent for the L. & N. railroad,
with offices at Montgomery. Mr..
James is an expert argriculturist
and is employed by the railroad to
supervise shipments of melons over
the lines.
It was for this purpose that he
came to Florida, as the shipment
season for watermelons is open and
many carloads have been sent from
West Florida. The packing of the
melons in the cars makes it impera-
tive that all be in good condition, as
one over ripe viii cause a break IN
the tiers, and many others would be
damaged.
Mr.. James IN speaking of the con-
dition of the crop to The Journal Fri
day stated that he had visited many
farms in the vicinity of Pensacola
and has found that the rain has peat
the vines, and damaged the melonl
themselves so as to render them un.
fit for shipment. He reports 4
heavy rain at Gonzalez and Century
Friday morning, which will probably
add to the difficulty.
Continuing Mr.. James said thai
many farmers had already packed
the melons for shipment, but that the
cars had been delayed by the disrup'
ton of traffic, and in many instances
carload lots have become unfit fol
| shipment.
