Bishop FiSke Much Better.

BALTIMORE, Md, June IT.
Bishop Charles Ffske of the Central
New York Episcopal Diocese, who is
i'll with pneumonia at Union Memorial
Hospital here, was reported resting
comfortably this morning after the
best night he has had in the last
two weeks. While he still was re-
gard ed as a very sick man, the hos
pital authorities were more optimistic
concerning him than at any time
since he suffered a relapse about a
week ago.

happened to him Straight to some
early flowers in the garden he dew.
Into one after another he ran his
long bill. Then, like a little living
jewel. he disappeared over toward
the Old Orchard. Hummer had been
saved.

After it had run like that for a

road and walked bit. in sheer des-

Eventually she climbed back into
the car. tried to make herself COM

into a doze. When she awoke 1T was
dark and somebody was touching
her on the arm.

Wreck.
"Nha-what's happened?"
Nothing yet. We're still q the

That reused her into full wakeful-
ness. She whirled about and looked
back over the darkened range. Far
away, mile at least, the twin white
lights of an approaching car showed
clear. The Wreck switched on his
own tail light, and strolled down the
road to greet rescue. Sally watched.
When he had gone about hun
dred feet he stood in the middle of
the road and waited. Presently, as
the oncoming car drew nearer. she
could see his figure outlined against
the growing glare. She saw him
hold up his hand and wave 1t. She
heard the sthrob of a big motor
stilled. Then he stepped out of the
beam of light, and she could hear
voices.
Perhaps a minute elapsed. Then
the Wreck stepped briskly into sight
again and advanced toward the fliv-
yer. There was something in his

There's your mountain" he said,
right where we figured it,"
Sally studied Black Top carefully.
Then they came to a road. Not a
wide, paved road; just a pair Of
tracks in the grass. But it looked
like a boulevard to Sally; she could
scarcely believe in the reality of 1t.
She glanced behind the car. The
road twisted away out Of sight a
few rods in the rear.
She stood up again and studied
the dusty tracks as far as her eye
could follow them. They showed no
sign of recent travel, either wagon
or automobile. In spots the grass
tufts had obliterated them. On sec,
ond observation, It did not look SC
much like a boulevard, after all; il
was not a road to inspire any great

She saw he knew more about the
mechanical demands of the job than
she did and let him have his way.
With two of them hauling on the
tackle, Sally in the flivver and the
Wreck on the opposite shore, they
finally worked the thing clear across
and half way up the sloping bank.
Then he started the engine and the
car pulled itself out under it's own
power. 1t seemed to Sally almost a

Wreck took no pride in it as he
coiled up the tackle and tossed it into

where the fluctuations were gentle
and rhythmic, like a long ground
swell, and where the f1ivver sailed a
fairly stable course.
With the Tightening Of his labors
at the wheel, the Wreck became al
most loquacious. He talked a good
deal about Pittsburgh and all points
East. If his conversation carried a
note which stressed the inferiorfty
of the West, Sally declined to be
drawn into argument. He seemed to
be happy and he was doing his best

IL down into the stream and

asking any questions.

She watched him slyly as he ate
his breakfast, still rubbing the sleep
out Of his eyes. Evidently he had
slept in his wet clothes all night,
but he did not appear to be any the
worse for it. After the meal he care
fully polished his spectacles, put
them back in place and scrambled to
his feet with the residence of a
youth. The Wreck was a good deal
of a puzzle to her. She felt that
there was a lot of fraud about him,
but that he was entirely unaware
of it.
| He went out to the car again,
found the block and tackle, and then
crossed the stream in search of a
suitable tree to which he might
hitch one end of his line. Sally ques-
toned his purpose Immediately. She
did not see why he wanted to haul
the car out on the other side, be-
cause they would never get back to
the ranch that way. Why haul it
backward? The Wreck made an elab-
crate show of patience as he ex-
planned. The bank over which they
had plunged was too steep; there
was a better chance to get out on
the other side. Anyhow, they want
ed to keep on going, didn't they? He

WHAT ARE THOSE STRANGE.
SYMBOLS PEOPLE LEAVE
ON THE ALAMO REGISTER?
Mysterious Letters and Numbers May Garry Secret
Meessages-Perhaps They Are Symbols of
Little-known Fraternity - Strange Looking
People Come to Shrine and Seek Them.

Mystic messages on the registers of
the Alamo, left by unknown callers
whose names may or may not be cor
rect as written there, have lately at
.racted quite bit of attention because
of the frequency with which they APP
pear. Although the days of Weary
Willie are fast disappearing, and the
modern asphalt highways are no ION
ger thronged with the brotherhood of
HoDoes. it may be that these signs and
symbols have been made by steerage
overland travellers, just as notches
and crosses used to appear in the path
ways freluented by drifters and
ramps.
Or Il may be that fugitives from
justice, seeking TO send messages to ac-
completes or friends. have left code
whiting behind them to indicate their
whereabouts in the only safe way.
Still another surmise is that 4 good
bit of the mysterious writing is that
OF secret orders of which only few
people have the key.
What DO They Mean?
Although their meaning is still
secret as far as the public is con-
cerned, strange signs and symbols
after names of callers to the old shrine
are becoming not infrequent. For the
month of December there were an I'M
usual number Of these peculiac mes
sages, and only few days ago n
string of letters and figures and dashes
and dots appeared after the names Of
more than one visitor.
Some of the latest messages are
these: "JEI-16 (Dlus sign or:
"1S43 MATINEE: "R Z j. Il. 1923 :"
IS NJ Il A." 1904 X :" "Hmbt 10;"
rs &C Indive;' and countless figures,
letters and dash-and-dot signs, after
names.
1t has been noticed that in several
cases where these messages appeared.
no address after the name was given,
and in several other cases the per-
haps fictitious address of some foreign
town would be given. After two de-
cidedly American names, the address
lof French and German towns were
written.
Frequently visitors to the Alamo
ask to see registers for certain months,
and often they seem TO find the mes.

but after spending the best part of an
afternoon trying to find the message
he wanted, he left without discov-
ering it.
DO They Look for Messages.
Visitors often state that they are
looking for the name or address of
a friend who passed through this city
at a certain time, Mrs. Small stated,
but these people are never secretive
about the reason for their request.
