But Mr. Crane is suspicious and upset. He is the recipient of a letter from Madrid, signed only with the initials It. D. S. The writer declares that he has been imprisoned in Spain on a bankruptcy charge and his baggage seized. He goes on to say that concealed in ii secret pocket of one valise are checks for .f-IOOtOOO made payable to the bearer. All Crane had to do it is simplicity itself is to get the money for It. De S., nnd one-third of it comes to him for the trouble. He is instructed to come to Antonio Escolnr in Lnmplona, Spain, for further instructions. Xow. all this sounds very fine to Crane, but, somewhere, somehow, some time, he has beard of some such a game being practiced before by sharpers and swindlers. He turned it over to Lieutenant Snell, of the Germantnwn avenue and Lycoming street station. So far he has not made up his mind what to do.

Cooper man, of 2411 South Third street, that he is not alive and working as n cop persmith at Hog Island, but, on the con trary, dead nnd buried in an American cemetery in France. .J-cstprday Cooperman, who served with Company H, Thirty-eighth Infan try, of the Third Division, enjoyed the rather unique sensation of looking, at n photograph of his own grave, with his name and a" description of iiis outfit carved on a wooden cross above a fresh mound of dirt. "Darned if they didn't have me be lieving I was dead for a minute when I saw a picture of my own gravel" Coop erman explained ns hc displayed' the photograph, which , had nrrived at the home of his mother at 7834 Bartram avenue. That's the last straw," the veteran said. Hc arrived in France May 10, 1018, with the Third Division, and was wounded in July near Belleau Woods. He received shrapnel wounds of the knee and was badly gassed when a bul let severed the tube of his gasmask.

Following the DOUTY IN LECTURE-RECITAL Tenor Gives Second of His Interest ing and Instructive Evenings Nicholas Douty gave the second of ins entertaining and instructive lecture recitals before a large audience at Witherspoon Hall last evening. The Benson's subiect is "The Sone Com posers of America" and the specific topic discussed at the affair last eve ning wns "The Song Composers of the Middle States." The lecturer-singer followed his usual course in the recital, first telling something of the chnractcr of the com poser's work as illustrated by the song he had chosen for this purpose and then singing the song. He selected three Philadelphians among the group, Marie Zimmerman, Harry Matthews and his own song "Fireflies," a recent work along modern lines and very effective. The other composers chosen to represent the Middle Stntes were MacDowell, Horsmnn, Hummel, Wnrd Stephens, Kramer, Herzberg, Manna-Zucca, Kthelbert Xevin, Zellncr, Burleigh and John Prindle Scott. Mr. Douty was, in good voice and sang all of his comprehensive program well, not the least of the enjoyable' feature of ms singing being his perfect enunciation, which made every word clearly understood by the audience. In ills work through the whole program he showed the artistry that has placed him high among American tenors. Joseph W. Clarke, at the piano, played the accompaniments with intelligence nnd sympathy, and with a tone quality that followed the lead of the soloist admirably.

Hlx weeks ago a letter came from the War Department for Coopermau's mother stating that her sou's body in France wns being exhumed. Informa tion was desired ns to where the body should be shipped in this country for burial. Insurance money amounting to $02.50 was also received by the mother from tlie ar Departmeut, "When I saw that letter about my body being exhumed and sent back here it made me sore," said Cooperman. "I .wired the War Departmeut and told them we didn't want my body or any body else's. I then received word to refund the $02.C0 which they'd paid for my death. "Then nlong comes this other letter, in it photograph folder, showing me n nice picture of my own grave. The cross on the grave in the photograph has my name and outfit marked on it. and is marked "ftrnvc 187." There was a card with tho photograph expressing sympathy for my mother in her loss. This has gone far enough. They'll be having nn interview with my departed spirit the next thing I know."
