Several parties have had geir silverware stolen. Others have pst articles of smal value, but me beyond the parties interested ave the matter serious thought until Wednesday noon, when the climax jathefts was suddenly reached by an tof the most daring and at the game time open character that would have done credit even to the West. Green Mountain is the lottiest up- othe ssland. A carriage road leads othe summit, upon which is a small mountain house Buck-boards and other carriages are constantly ascend- ing and descending this road. At times they pass over rocky and steep edges, and at times enter woods that orow thickly on either hand and meet over head. It was near the opening ofone of these leaty avenues that this daring deed was committed. The time ot day was about a quarter to to'clock.

The Messrs. How are among the most popular ot our summer guests, | and are both New Yorkers. When | vourreporter called upon the younger Mr. How he found the gentleman upon the poarchot the Belmont, in quiet conversation with several triends. He readily told his story, in effect what has already been re- ported: “The fellow was perfectly cool, and was undoubtedly an expert. I shall net easily torget those cold steel blue eves. I should know them again among a thousand. We lost several hundred dollars, but I don’t gare so much tor that as for the fact that sucha cold-blooded and outrageous act should have been committed at Mount Desert. I have always laughed at those people who were atraid to walk alone in_ the mountains or after mghtfall. Now, his party had left the summit of the mountain and taken their passengers todinaer in the village. On this buckboard were six people—Chauncy y, the driver; Mr. and Mrs. Isaac ion Miss Kate simmons ot ‘‘Rac- quet Galop’’ fame and another lady and gentleman. About two-thirds of the way down, perhaps two miles from the village, while they were all eamest'y engaged in discussing some topic or other, they were startled by gman springing out from behind a thick growth of bushes beside the way. He was dressed in loose over- ails, his head was entirely enveloped inamask that hung Joosely over his breast, and he was armed to the teeth. Quickly presenting arevolver at the driyer’s head, he commanded him to stop. On seeing this avpa- rationleap from the bushes, Joy had grasped his whip and was on_ the pomntoflashing up his horses. **But,”’ said he, “when I saw that pistol pointin’ dead at my head and them gray eyeso’ his, I just kem down off’ that seat mecker’n a lamb.” “Hold these horses’ heads,’’ said therobbes. Joy obediently held them. Leaving the driver complete- lysubdued he approached the o¢- cupants of the carriage, most of whom had taken in the state ot affairs by thistime. Ofcourse all this trans- pired ina moment. “Now,” said he to the gentlemen, “Pll take what money you’ve got.’ He spoke in a clear, calm tone and acted in the old time, sterotyped Dick Turpin style. Miss Simmons, thinking the affair a huge joke on the part ot some enterprising friend, burst into a hearty fit of laughter, but her eyes were opened when the gentlemen handed out their wallets and money. “I don’t want your wallet,’’ said theghwayman. ‘‘Give me that toll of bills in your inside vest pock- ct”? The bills were handed over. “But,’’ said Miss Simmons, who with the other ladies preserved great coolness, ‘you don’t want those pa- pers in the wallet?’’ Um the frst victim of my ewn credulity. ‘“*No trace of the fellow has yet been found. The chief of police, Mr. S. E. Head, when interviewed, give itas his opinion the robber was a Western professional, his use of the word ‘‘keeper’’ er ‘‘ticker’’ be- traying that. I had a long talk with the Cincinnati detective, and we both agreed that no eastern man could have preseserved his coolness so well. At any moment a carriage load of people might have come. Yet there was no undue haste, no nervousness on_ his part. In my opinion he is in the village now at one of the hotels, smoking his cigar, and enjoying the breeze he has created. Every man _ that gues off the island is watched. Only One person has seen him, and that is an old woman who went blueberry- ing on the mountain with her little neice. She says about ten minutes after Mr. How’s party passed up the road to the summit a man with a loose shirt on, carrying a bundle under his arm and something that looked hke a d in his belt, came up the road walking very tast. She was so trightened at his appearance that she hardly dared to look at him the second time. It is my opmion that we’ll find him playir tleman at some hotel or club room.”’ Very naturally people are alarmed about continuing their walks as here- tofore. Green mountain has been a favorite resert for pedestrians ot both sexes and Newport also. Young ladies often took tours through the woods alone or along the beach without the least fear;or coment upon the part of chaperons. Now everything is changed, and people go out in large parties, many bear- ing fire-art Fiirting With the Sat. The latest craze is the hat flirtation. It is too utterly utter, too intensely intense. The following is the code: Wearing the hat squarely on the head, I love you madly; tipping over the “Certainly not,’? and _ selecting them calmly and deliberately trom the wallet he handed them to Mr. How. “Now,’’ said he, ‘‘your keepers, please.’” One of the ladies told him she had no watch. “Madam, we never trouble laches,”? was the aaswer, with a polite bow. During all this interview the robber kept his pistol pointed at the head ot one of the gentlemen, keeping his eye on the other meanwhile. After the valuables had been given up, with a tragic wave of the hand, “pass on,’’? he said, and "remained Standing in the road, covering the Patty with his pistol until they were out of sigat. : _Driving rapidly into the village the victims of the rubbery notified the authorities. The story spread like wildfire. Every town on the island was telegraphed to, and telegrams were sent to manv large towns along the seaboard and the main railway lines.
