said they would go right to the

him into the small room behind the
platform. A distraught looking col

seeing Dorothy's companion he
looked more distraught than ever.
"But word just came that Mr..
Brown couldn't be here" he said.
And the chapel is packed now. Mr..

away"
"My mOther-in-law-passed away"

ent. and then somehow explanations
followed. The Mr.. Brown present
had come from the East to be best
man for a friend. He had been told
that the girl who was to be maid

gotten-would meet him at the ho-

where the bride lived.

No speaker who had ever been
heard in the college chapel held and
thrilled and inspired his audience so
completely as did Donald Brown
that afternoon. Students and pro
fessors crowded around him after
wards congratulating him and ask
ing him for further details of his
adventures. It was generally un-

of the presidents clever little niece,

< HOPEWELL, N. J.-Another at tempt to extort large amount of money from Col. Charles A. Lind hergh was fo4led today when 1.-two men, Bob Harvey and James Bryant, who had threatened to kidnap the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Lind- berg, were placed under arrest.
 Negotiations and dickering. for the money had been under way for the past two months. The men first de- handed $5O,0Q0,. hut dickering brought the amount down to 17,OO0, which amount was agreed to be placed in the stump of an old tree in an outlying section. The money was placed in the stump, closely watched from a distance, of course, by Lindbergh agents.
 One of the men, some hours later, was seen to approach the stump, take out the package, and then to return back on the same road from whence he came, mile or more, where he met his companion. The two men, proceeding on their way, some min- utes later were seen to enter the abode. of two women. Almost simul- taneously the detectives entered and grabbed their men. The two women were alsoa placed under arrest for questioning.
