is made sometimes Of beaded straps and

Lucky Girl OF U. s. A.

Dear Cynthia-I have been reading
your columns about heartbreakers and
am satisfied you have two heartbreak-
ers among them, I am one of those
kind and proud Of it. If girl hasn' t
sense enough to know when she is
being fooled she ought to have her
heart broken. I have just returned
from the A. e. F. and promised to
marry half dozen different French
girls, but sailed from France without
any Of them. Now, what do our readers
think about that? Whose fault is it
At the same time had girl waiting
for me in the U. S., but she turned me
down as soon as / was discharged. SO
I think they are as bad as the men.
81 RECKLESS.
How good that the girl in the U. s.
realized your fickleness before she mar
ried you. We congratulate her. -

DOUBLE SLAYER IN HANDS 0F
 N. Y. POLICE
Bandit Who Made Getaway After Brooklyn Robbery
 Captured.

New York, June 13-When Gordon
 F'awcett Hamby, 26 years old, is ar
 raigned in the county court, Brook
 lyn, today, on the charge of murder
 ing two employees of the East Brook lyn Savings Bank on Dec. 13, 191SS
 those present will see young man who is said by the police to have one of the most amazing records which
 has come to their knowledge. Detectives assert he is one of the
 most remarkable criminals in the United States. He was brought all the way from Tacoma, Wash, to Brooklyn in handcufs to answer the
 charge of having been the murderous tall man. at the East Broadway Savings Bank. All doubt that he is the man has been dispelled, for he has
 practically confessed.
 we have the right man." said Dis trict Attorney Lewis, emphatically. 'I am absolutely certain from admis- sion5 made by him that he is the man that robbed the East Brooklyn Sav- ings Bank and killed two men there
 in December"
 The story of the career of crime
 pursued by Gordon Fawcett Hamby,
 alias J. A. Allen, alias Boyd Brown ing, is an extraordinary one. A Can adian by birth and a radical in
 thought he has wandered all over the earth, taking by force that which he desired And when the job" was
 done he quitely slipped back to ship
 he was a sailor at times-or sub merged himself in the perfect con- ceelInent of everyday life.
 Detectives say the spells p1ucked from the worlds cash drawers by Hamby must equal several hundred thousand of dollars As a seaman he visited Japan and other Oriental countries. He has been in South
 America-at least in Nicaragua; of
 that the authorities are sure-in Can-
 ada and throughout the United
 States. He says he was in France
 when the armistice was signed, hav-
 ing been a seaman on a transport
 Wherever he committed crime it was
 the bold ruthless holdup of a past
 day, a command of Stand and de-
 lfver!" at the point of a menacing
 ''gun."
 But vardon Fawsett Hamby never stood in the road He was no "piker' tempt for them was strong. His re- Ivolver was thrust across the rails of banks and railroad offices. For eight years, at least, he piled his trade. The
 remarkable fact is that he was never
 arrested, never wore handcuffs be- fore.

description OF the opening of a new

Then from all parts Of the nation.
From humblest homes and richest

Maidens fair and maidens dusky,
Maidens short and tall and willowy.
Came they to this seat Of learning;
Drank from this sparkling fountain.
