What Did He Mean?

Until three o'clock this afternoon Warden Hanley of the Tombs prison was perfectly contented warden, says New York correspondent. He had been told twice during the morning that a man with a frock coat and a silk hat had called to see him, and as the man was to return at three o'clock, MT. Hanley cut short his tour of the prison and returned to his office. He found that the caller had called, fumed and finally left this note: "Thirty years ago my father, who was of me dium height and undoubtedly punctual, was employed as heat denunciator in a metal mill in Pittsburgh. For years, or at least for a considerable time, he told no one. However, 1t was common rumor. Now, after all these years, does 1t seem that man would delib- erately take any such acton7 What would be his motive? I ask you as a humanitarian to discuss this with no one. Merely use it for your own infor- nation and proceed likewise. I leave for Pittsburgh at four o'clock, but trust you implicitly.-A Friend" At late hour Warden Hanley, having read the note through 92 times, was reading 1t through for the ninety-third time.
