Dougherty wanted to know why he had done that thing, but the man was no near the verge of mental break- down that the wise police officials diverted the questioning to other lines.

Dougherty’s quick eye had noted at the very first that while Farrell him- eelf was under casual questioning his eyes were as pools in the forest—un- troubled, limped—reflecting nothing. But when others were being questioned In hie hearing the man's eyes narrowed, a aly light sparked from them and the whole face of the fellow tensed and crimkled into lines of craft and of guile.

Up to to-day, when Farrel! made his confes- sion at Police Headquarters, not the slightest trace of the man who sent the bomb to Mrs, Taylor had been picked up by the police. Grace Taylor was @ woman of many names, She had been known as Florence Emerson and Grace Walker before she moved into the Seventy- seventh street fat Her husband, who went by the names of Howard Walker and J. Howard Taylor, died Deo. 13, 1911, in @ eanttarium at Plattsburg, N. Y., of tuberculosis, from which he had suffered four years. Mra, Taylor shared the Seventy-seventh street flat with a woman named Edna La Marre. They had many men callers. One, who was considered the closest friend of Mrs, Taylor, was Charles M, Dickinson, a stenographer employed in the offices of the United Motor Com- pany at No. 3 West Sixty-firat street.

He was a nurse in the Spanish-American war, according to his own account, and once worked ‘fas a nurse in the Massachusett ral Hospital, Boston, and an asylum for the insane at Danville, Pa. By his own confession, he was im- plicated in many burglaries in Flat- bush and Brooklyn, and had a wide acquaintance among burglars.

Margaret saw him go. Without & scream, without an instant’s hesi- tation, the girl jumped into the lake. The water is not more than four feet deep and Margaret landed on her heels with a violent shock. She went under on hands and knees, looking for Hugh. A man on the boardwalk, shivering in his scant attire, saw the girl jump, saw what had happened in a minute. With a mighty ehout, he ran back to edge of the lake and jumped to the assistance. He fished be- low and grabbed Httle Hugh. The girt was still under, fishing around frantic- ally for her brother. Through the trees and on the cold wind, the shout of the man wag borne to the ears of Mounted Patrolman Kane. He spurred his horse to a mad gallop and in a few moments, was at the edge of the lake. The man was struggling up the bank with little Hugh; th ris nose, herself in a daze, was just above the water.
