Ol pléase, what was on it?” * “Nothing but the signature,” said theday nurse. “What? Your affectionate Uncle Alfred, or Aunt Maria, or Cousin Jemima?” :" The day nurse felt a little dis- “turbed; she did not know why. “No—it was only the name.” Vhat name?” “Just Caroline.” { Caroline put both hands to her] my letter, I suppose?” head as it she were afraid that her hat 'would blow off in some Violent, Jutangible wind. She felt giddy with the rush of it. It slapped her face and sang in her ears. She held on'td Ter bright brown curls and opened Yer eyes as far as they would go. + “Caroline?” she said in her very Qeepest voice. " “That’s all.” “It’s quite enough. My dear thing, it’s more ‘than enough—because I ‘am Caroline.”.. “Oh!” said the nurse. Then she said, “Careline—" in an experimen- tal sort of way. Then she stopped ‘dead. “Caroline Leigh,” said Caroline with a warm rush of words. “1 told the girl who let me in; but 1 expect ‘$he forgot—or perhaps she just Widn’t like the name—lots of people ‘@on’t.

She wanted to shake the nurse, but ; she restrained herself. “Agel” “Oh, he wasn't old.” “About thirty?” “He might have been.! “Height?” “Oh, just ordinary.” “Coloring?” “Well, ‘he was sunburnt—we all noticed that.” “Where has she taken him?” “Marley,” said the nurse. “It's only about eight miles from here, and if it will set your mind at rest— “Yes—I must see him.

The nurse was thinking, and it was difficult for her. There were, -evidently two Carolines, since Nesta Riddell ‘had practically admitted to knowing one. It was asking a good deal of coincidence to believe there were two missing men as well, yet Qaroline was on_the trail of a Jim Randal, and Nesta Riddell had @ Jimmy Riddell in nr care at fi. ‘mbment. “Or could it be—a voice lhfll“ behind her, and the nurse; suddenty delegation from the Serbian Flag Society met ‘the steamer and ‘es- corted the body to the chapel of the Chas.

All Arrangements and Set Actual Date | | The annual supper, card-party | and dance of the Douglas Valun- teer Fire Department, one of the major social events on the Island each year, will be given between the 15th and the last day of next month, it was decided at the reg- ular meeting last night. A com- mittee was appointed to select the time and make all arrange- ments, Members of the commit- te are Gordon Gray, chairman,| Glen Kirkham, Dewey Frankforter and Angus Gair. | Against Fire Hazards i Elimination of fire hazards was | an important topic at the meet- ing. It was brought out that the grass and shrubbery on the hillside below Second Street would, if| ignited, when. it was dried out| and during windy weather, consti- | tute a serious menace to the en- tiye west end of Douglas. Thel concensus of opinion was that the|- hillside should be burned off at| fom: opportune time when the firemen would he in attendance. It was left to the Chief to attend to the matter. The foreman was directed, by vote of the depart-! ment, to lay in a supply of old sacks to be used for fighting grass fires. Certain repairs needed on the fire truck were left to the chief truck driver for attention. - —— YOUNG PEOPLE ARE NOW 'ENROUTE SOUTH Another declegation of young folks from Douglas are off to college, having left last night on the Northwestern for Seattle.
