A demented individual alarmed Cant.

prowling about the Captain's bi.rn and
premises during his absence. The
Captain had rot yet returned from St.

Tuesday morning, and word was eent
down town of the man's suspicious ac

interviewing the stranger decided that
he was merely crippled in the bead,
and the generous-hearted professor
staked him to four bits, and advised
him to nit the grit, as he was alarming
the people and the poor fujlow did so.
