Woolworth Building-found him an
ashenfaced man of thirty-five, who
clutched the side of his roll-top desk
as If to save himself from falling.
whitaker he gasped. my God ="
"Flattered," said Whitaker, I'm
sure.
He derived considerable mischievous
amusement from Drummond's patent
stupefaction. 1t was all so right and
proper-as it should have been. He
considered his a highly satisfactory
resurrection. Seldom does a scene
pass off as one plans it; but Drummond
played up his part in a most public
spirited fashion-gratifying, to say
the least.
1t took him some minutes to recov-
er, Whitaker standing by and beaming.
He remarked changes, changes as
striking as the Improvement in Drum
mond's fortunes. Physically his ex-
partner had gone off a bit; the seden-
tary life led by the average successful
man of business in New York had

his face seemed as it had always been
sharply handsome and strong. Whit
aker remembered that he had always
somewhat meanly envied Drummond
his good looks; he himself had been
fashioned after the new order of archi-
tecture-with a steel frame.
He discovered that they were both
talking at OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, not
without surprise, that he had a great
deal more enlightenment to impart to
DrumDond than he had foreseen.
you've got an economical streak in
you when it comes to correspondence"
Drummond commented, offering Whit
aker a sheet of paper he had just
taken from tin document-box. That's

he remembered that he was now
idle hands as well. After prolonged
consideration he suddenly decided,
told Lynch to look out for his inter-
ests and expect him back when he
should see him, and booked for London
by a Royal Mail boat-all in half
day. From London Mr.. Hugh Morten
crossed Immediately to New York on
the Olympic, landing in the month of
April-nearly six years to a day from
the time he had left his native land.
He put up at the Ritz Carlton, pre-
cisely as any foreigner might be ex-
pected to do, and remained Hugh Nor
ten while he prowled around the city
and found himself. Now and again in
the course of his wanderings he en-
countered well-remembered faces, but
always without elicitlng the slightest
CLEAN of recognition; circumstances
that only went to prove how thor
oughly dead and buried he was in the
estimation of his day and generation.
Nothing, indeed, seemed as he re-
membered it. But his ultimate and ut
ter awakening to the truth that his
home had outgrown him fell upon the
fourth afternoon following his return,
when a total but most affable gentle
man presented himself to Whitakers
consideration with a bogus name and
a genuine offer to purchase him a
drink, and promptly attempted to en-
mesh him In a confidence game that
had degenerated into a vaudeville joke
In the days when both of them had
worn knickerbockers. Whitaker pri-
vately admitted that he was out
classed, that it was time for him to
seek the protection of his friends.
He began with Drummond. The lat
ter, of course, had moved his offices.
Whitaker found him independently es-
tablished in an imposing suite in the

There are probably more natural
bridges in America than In any 9TH
er country. Rainbow. the largest in ex-
istence, is 30S feet high. Its span is
six times as great as that Of the Ma

three of these natural bridges that are
of higher and greater span than any
other natural bridges in the world.

local ''riveters," allowed the Cramp
team but two hits. Tom Mnhaify, who
was here with Jimmie Jackson's Chicks,
played first base for the Quaker City
aggregation.
There was nothing very exciting about
the game and the fans lost much interest
after Harlan took commanding lead
by showing two runs across the plate
in the third inning. There we're several
double plays by both teams and it fell
to the lot Of Johnny Cole to pull of a fast
double, unassisted Carlin. Cole and
Charity of the locals each managed TO
squeeze in pair of hits. Charity had
the longest hit of the game, fly that
struck the left field fence.
Manager Gallagher had two new
faces in the line-up, O'Hearn, in right
field, former New York State League
player, and Gerney, a semi-professional

and Bemiller had both whitfield, he scored
on Gharrity's long drive To the fence.

inning as in the first, but this time pushed

scored Cole with single and Biemiller
came home when Belts let a twister get
past him.
Harlan finished the game up right in
the fifth inning, when it dented the rubber
for three runs Carlin was again lcad-of

but both Carlin and Cole scored when
Charity got his third hit of the game.
