Sharp found it necessary to make fre-
nucnt visits to the White Beach House
to see that his side partner, or the
partner of his side, had a sufficient
supply of blnefish, steak and ham and
the three-meal daily bill of fare. This
caused him to repose confidence in
“Jim" to the extent of leaving him l1:

the cigar house, and "Jim" did not
seem inclined to abuse the trust. He
appeared as though he might have

of the guests that he didn't like botol
work. He had “always followed trot-

lord could spare him he intended to
return to the stable.

came on Friday night. or rather early
Saturday morning. Mr. Siihrp's house
was full and he had sent away over

DERBY, August 21.—-Tho funeral of
Mrs. William H. Plummer was turned

and the body examined to see if life

see a pink glow in the checks of the
dead woman as she lay in the casket
One or two of tho-pallbearers notic-

but nothing was said to the afflicted
family. Every one feared to arouse
false hopes and cause the additional

efforts to restore their mother to life.
