Well, If his proofs be true, then Ht this very moment when William thought menacingly of Freddie Hunks, I lie bright air of a happy June evening 1111 evening ordinarily reckoned ten years, nine months and (wcntyone days In advance of this present sor low rui evening -the bright air of that b"IW Jims i suing, ao far In the fu AAAMAAMWMWW Hire, waa actually already trembling to a wedding march played upon a church organ, and this self same Freddie, with a white (lower in hla buttonhole and In every detail accoutred as a wed ding uaher. waa nu usher for (his erv William who now 111a we ordinarily count time) threatened Ida person.

For example, a large shite headed pin represents a fatal .iiitoiuohlle accident, while a small one it the same color represents a similar nut not serious accident. In the same manner a huge green headed pin Indi cates a fntal tndh-y car accident. The map of Manhattan shows that a long stretch of Fifth avenue has an almost 'ouilniious line of accidents. The Thir teenth precinct shows a greater nuro bar of iKcl.lenta than any other. Thla precinct contains Iiclnnccy street, with the approach to the Williamsburg bridge and many narrow east side itreeta. Mafety Bnglaeertnc, Savon Wise Man of Greece.
