About 10 o'clock I noticed a tall figure, his arms loaded with melons, sneaking cautiously across the field, and 1 saw him mount a high fence. From all appearances, the arrival of an over ripe melon must have checked his procedure. Miss Hickman is keeping Alan Johnston in her home while he re- cuperates from the tumble.
