ENGLISH BOYS HAVE
NAVAL BRICADES

Several other letters written by
boys and girls of Richmond, Eng
land, were received by boys and
girls of Garfield school, which had
many things of interest to Rich
mond, Indiana, Juniors. Owing to
lack of space, we are unable to
print all letters in full, but we will
include some paragraphs which
were considered especially inter
esting:
In a letter addressed to William
Webb, A. Claxton, the boy who was
writing, says: 81 will begin my
letter by asking you if you belong
to any organization such as the
scouts, wolf cubs, boys brigade or
naval brigade. l am proud and
boast of the naval brigade of which
l am a member out of about $50
boys. We dress in uniforms like
those of our English sailors who,
perhaps, you may have seen walk
ing about in your streets. We are
taught rifle drill, signalling, gym
nasium, physical drill, shooting,
seamanship, and we do a great lot
of squad drill. l may boast of
medals and cups the brigade has
won for competing against other
brigades, like ours, called Naval
Brigades. Perhaps you may not
know what l mean by cups, for you
may have some other thing when
you win in any competition. The
cups are silver vessels after the
style of cup.
l wonder if you have lady teach
ers and sit together as some of the
Richmond school children. We
have men teachers who have to
have considerable patience with us,
for during the day we are taught
many different subjects by one
teacher for every class.
10 Troops in Richmond, England.
The following was in letter ad-

II should like to know whether
there are many Boy Scouts in your
district. In this Richmond, there
are 10 troops. l am patrol leader
in the tenth. This troop has not
been long formed, for 1t was en-
rolled in the beginning of January,
of this year."
Dorothy Mae Winsett also re-
ceived an interesting letter.

was the ghost that Betty saw in
Mystery House and he also played
ghost that night to find out whether
you people were in Mystery House
and she sure did give it away"
Then he told of everything else the
Silent Workers had done and when
he came to the discovery of the
tunnel between the Mystery House
and the Dewe home, the Dewes
could hardly believe it, and so it
had to be examined right away.

Mr.. Thawley said. When your
grandfather Dewe and were boys
we wanted to have secret way to
get to each others house, so after
much hard work and with the help
of couple of workmen, we made
this tunnel and we certainly had
lot of fun out Of it,"

THE
MYSTERY
HOUSE
CHAPTER XIV.
Frances In Mystery House

riduCCS anu agnes WeT6 aiOQ0.
The other children had to 60 to a
club where no visitors were al
lowed, as most of the meetings
were secret. Agnes was deeply
interested in book and, not wish
ing to interrupt her, Frances went
out on the porch. She sat there for
quite awhile, gazing at Mystery
House, and then decided to visit
1T by herself. Once inside, she be-
gan to investigate the house from
top to bottom.
Being big house, II took much
time to see each room, but finally
she reached the attic. When she
opened the door, she found the gar
ret rather untidy like the Silent
Workers had some time ago. When
her eyes rested upon the beautiful
doll, she exclaimed:
Darling! Darling Ami" She
picked the doll up and Rugged it
like little girl, and then said:
"Oh, Darling, / knew that l had
been in this house before. The
house where l used to play with
you and where my own dear
mother and father died. Oh, mother
and daddy, how / do wish had
both of you in my arms instead of
Darling!"
Tears were coming into her eyes
but she did not try to keep them
back. 1t did her good to cry a lit
tie, but not all of them were I'M
happy tears. She was happy that
she had found her old home, and
soon she started downstairs again
with Darling Ann, in her arms, to
more carefully look over her old
home. When she came to the nurs-
cry again, she said to herself:
mo wonder l didn't know my
nursery. All the furniture that !
used to have in it is gone, and to
think even now I'll never get to
live in it, as someone else probably
owns 1t. What pity to cover ev.
erything up and desert it." AS she
turned to go out, a smiling old
gentleman stood in the doorway.
"Oh, ! beg your pardon, Sir"
she said. II didn't mean to in
trude. You see, /"
Certainly not" said the gentle
man, you were just admiring my
nice house. / like it. too. l think
l know who you are. Aren't you
Agnes Pale?"
"Oh, no." replied Frances, my
name Is Frances Cawell, but Agnes
is a friend of mine, and is cousin
to the Dewes, who live next door.
Agnes Is visiting there, and SO

II see," he said. 1.-THE reason
that l thought you were she was
that I received letter from her
and she said something about ex-
ploring 1t, as there was a mystery |
here. am the owner of this house |
and I have come home to solve her
so-called mystery which know
something about" ,..
"That is what Agnes cousin
said," explained Frances, "but he
wouldn't tell me what the mystery
was. l know of no mystery, for !
used to live here"
Aren't you mistaken" he asked.

Cawell, too?" So again they all
went back into the parl0r and also

letter and gave it to them. When
they had finished reading 1t, Mr..
Cawell said:
HAL, where did you find this?"
Hal told him.
HAS Frances seen it," he then
asked. Hal shook his head, and
then Frances was called in. She
was given the letter to read and
was asked if she had ever seen it
before. to which she replied:

TEL US all that happened the
day you lost your bracelet" said
Mr.. Cawell. So Frances began the
tale. and when she came to the
part about ripping the skirt, Mrs.
Cawell interrupted:

the skirt. Don't you remember,

tried to tell us to rip something,
and died before she got to finish it?
And to think that all of these years
Frances thought she had no parent
living and Mr.. Thawley has been
deprived of his only daughter
"Mr. Thawley," Mr.. Cawell said,
"it is going to be hard for us to
give up Frances, as we love her as
an own daughter, but we are glad
that you have found her and happi-
ness again"
Thank you, Mr.. Cawell," said
Mr.. Thawley. II owe much to you
and / shall not forget it. We can
both share her, for you will have
none and l will have both son and
daughter. If my son will only for
give me will be the happiest man
in the world"
"He will, Mr.. Thawley," Mrs.
Cawell said, Harlan has often told
me that he was ready to come
more than half way to make peace
between you"
at was all my fault" said Mr..
Thawley. II thought if he married
it would mean that would have to
live alone all the rest of my life,
and SO, selfishly denied his quest.
l don't deserve to be happy now,
after having treated my only son
that way"
Eyes, father" Frances said,
caressing him, yes, you do. You've
had enough unhappiness; but now
we're all going to be happy"
Say" Mrs. Cawell said, where
are Agness and the other two
boys?"
Were still out here they re-
piled.

Thawley, I'VE didn't intend for you
to stay out there. Come, hear the

Out on the porch that evening,

Matthew Hull's Body Found.

Last Saturday evening, shortly be-
fore dusk, two men strolling along the
beach at the lower extremity of Wild
wood Crest, not far from Hotel Break
ers discovered at the waters edge, the
body of Matthew Hull, of Camden, the
young man who came to Wildwood
Just one week before, with the big
McAndrews and Forbes excursion,
and who while bathing not far from
the Ocean Pier was accidentally drown
ed. He had been a foreman in the
paper manufacturing department OF
the firm named. The deceased was
81 years of age and unmarried. A
brother made a trip to Wildwood last
Sunday to identify the body, which
was shipped to Camden last Monday
morning by undertaken Ingersoll. A
broken lncisor tooth and a sca OF the
right leg were the means of making
Identification certain. The Ocean
Pier people also identified the bathing
suit as one of their stock, thus leaving
no doubt that this unfortunate bather
was Hull.

Resolution

Whereas, The All-Wise Father, 1
His infinite wisdom and in accordance
with some Divine plan, has deemed IL
fitting to remove from our midst and
to translate to a higher sphere OF &C.
tivity, our beloved friend and esteemed
president, Honorable Philip p. Baker;
And whereas, By his having abided
with us for his allotted time, we have
observed, by his exemplary life and
conduct, by his precept, his sterling
worth, his magnetic personality, his
wise counsel and the steadfast friend
ships of our late honored executive,
that such lives as his but point the way
to that blessed country from whose
bourne no traveller returns;
And whereas, By his various &C.
tivities, reaching out to so many beneh-
cent influences, to the up-building OF
every enterprise, his loss will be long
and deeply felt.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, That
this resolution be entered upon the
minutes of the Wildwood Title and
Trust Company. a copy thereof semi to
the bereaved family, and a copy thereof
printed in the Sun-Tribune and
