Mr Taft has written his regrets at
not being able to participate in the

Utica, X. Y. The letter containing his
sen'intents on the occasion was made

Two young women carried off the
honors at New York In a sensational
long distance swim. They were Miss
Angus)a Gallup, 20 yours old, and
Miss Clara T. Hurst, 24 years old. At-
though they failed to finish first and
second In the seventh annual endur-
ance test of the United States \ olun-
toer Life Saving Corps, their retnarka-
ble showing was the feature of the
contest.
Through a choppy sea and against
a strong wind they swam from the
Brooklyn bridge pier to Coney Island,
a distance of thirteen miles, and at
the finish, after having been In the
water more than five hours, were In
better condition than any of the men
who competed. Miss Hurst was In
the water five hours and forty-nine
minutes and Mias Gallup swam seveu
minutes longer.
Miss Hurst Is a veteran distance
swimmer. Twice last year she swam
from Staten Island to Coney Island,
aud on each occasion she was not fa-
tigued when she finished. She is a

Brought Back.
The man sat on the porch floor and
swung his legs. He had knocked on
the old fashioned door and now he was
waiting for a response. While he wait-
ed he looked about him.
The girl's durk eyes noted his white
face and his trembling hands and her
look of compassion deepened.
"You knocked, I believe,” she said.
"I believe I did,” he answered. "For
a moment I had a fleeting hope that
the kind occupant of this quaint old
house would let me stay here for a
little while. I have some money—not
much—and I fancied 1 might stay as
long as it lasted. But now that you
have seen me 1 ant quite sure you
will not want to be bothered.”
"Excuse me," said the girl, "I will
be back very soon.” When she re
turned she bore a plate with a newapaiH.r8.
and a few cakes. "Here Is some cur-1 ,irknn.t „„„ „
rant wine of my aunt’s muking and
some cookies," she said and put the
plate In his hands.
He sipped at the glass and nibbled
a cake.
"Nectar and ambrosia.” he murmur-
ed. “If I appear voracious do not be
alarmed. I have eaten nothing since
an early breakfast."
The girl looked at him pityingly.
He waa so thin, so white, so shatter-
ed.
"And now,"she said. "I will consult
my aunt."
"Concerning me?" he asked.
“Yes.”
"It will be of no use after she sees
me."
The girl disappeared In the hallway.
When she came back a motherly look-
aiid she thinss yoi are a gentleman.
The front loom upstairs l* waiting
for you. Shall I take you to It?"
"Yes, yes.” he brokenly answered.
You are both very kind 1—1 will re-
,,ay you when I am able." He arose*
with an effort, and, thrusting his band
ii'o . locket, drew forth *onu- money.
"Take this." be said "It Is all 1 have.
Yes. take it. Let It go as far as It will.
I in much belt, r off wiriiout It. With

He thrust the bills into her hand
and she humored hi* w ish.
"Come,” she said, and h’d him Into
the house.
So the stranger became an inmat*
of the Elliott cottage and came aud
went as he pleased. He didti t wan-
der far. It was enough for him to loit-
er In the pleasant sunshine. And he
made them very little trouble. If he
was restless at night he would steal
softly down the stairs and out into
the orchard, and sotnetihies they
would find him fast asleep under hla
favorite apple tree.
He gained strength and steadiness
very slowly. But he gained. He would
hold up his trembling hands and stare
at them and shake his head at them
reproachfully.
‘i'll hold you steady yet. you pal-
sied creatures," he would say, In hla
whimsical fashion.
Gradually the women became used
to his presence and his ways. He was
a pleasant talker, but what he said
never liore any reference to hi» past
life. And there was another marked
peculiarity about the man. He would
