HOLLIS has arrived some time
/ I after midnight, with terrible
tale Of the airplane accident, and
high praise for Monty English.
1t was very foggy, and they were
flying low. Three hundred feet or
so, he thought, from the ground.
Suddenly the motor died, and the
plane went into a spin.
AS she crashed through the trees,
the wings were torn from the fuse
lage. And the body, when they
struck the ground, was twisted and
battered into a shapeless mass.
The pilot, Hollis said, was badly
shaken up. The shock alone had
almost killed him.
He and Monty had clambered
from the forward cockpit, and lifted
the poor chap out. He was bleeding
from the nose and mouth, and cry
ing like a woman.
Hollis stayed with him, while
Monty sought the open road, and
help. There was a newspaper in the
plane, that Monty had carried.
Hollis was tearing it apart, and
using it to staunch the flow of
blood from the pilots nose, when
his own name, on the front page,
caught his eye.
Hollis Hart, prominent Boston
ian," it said, returned today on the
S. S. Juanita from a cruise to the
West Indies. With Mr. Hart was
a youn gladly of unusual beauty,
said to have been a stenographer
in his employ.
"Her name on the passenger list
was given as Ashtoreth Ashe, and
her address Boston.
miss Ashe is a striking brunei
with beautiful eyes of a peculiar
gray-green. Her age was given as
%. She is tall and slim.
'Mr. Hart is said to have ex-
pressed a particular preference for
the romantic isles of the Caribbean.
A retreat at Dominica is alleged to
have been visited by Miss Ashe,
who left the boat at the island,
while the other passengers went
on to Trinidad.
upon the return voyage Of the
S. S. Juanita, Miss Hart reappeared
with Mr.. Hart.
Passengers, who viewed the TO-
nance with considerable interest,
declare that the devotion of the
millionaire to the beautiful stenog-
rapher was the talk of the boat.
mr.. Hart, well-known man about
town, has already figured in many
affairs Of the heart. His engage
ment has been frequently rumored,
and as many times denied.
1.-THE Hart fortune is estimated
as exceeding $20,000,000. The
family has been foremost in Boston
society for many generations, and
dates its American ancestry to the
early Huguenot settlers.
Mr.. Hart is a sportsman of note.
He is well known for his philan-
thropies, and has often been called
the most eligible bachelor in
America.
Efforts to reach the Ashe family
in Boston had failed at late hour
this afternoon.
Following their departure from
the boat, Mr.. Hart registered at the
Ritz, but checked out shortly. He
and his fair companion are believed
to be en- route to Boston"
HOLLIS had torn the story from
i L the paper, and stuffed it in
his pocket. Shortly Monty returned
with help, and the injured pilot
was conveyed to a hospital.
BY that time wires across the ma
ton were humming with news OF
the accident, and the remarkable
escape of the two passengers.
Names were ascertained, and the
story of Hollis return from the
Caribbean linked with the news OF
the crash.
The Ashes-mother and daughter
locked the door Of their apart
ment. And silenced the electric
buzzer, and stuffed the telephone
bell, to hear from Hollis lips the
story of his adventure with Monty
