Miss Stone after the shooting assertedthat Kinkead, after making her his cemmon-law wife, had cast her off for aWther woman. She, too, wrote verses to him. Mrs. Kinkead's poem follows: ALONE. Had I but known, oh, loving heart.

Or felt as now the bitter pain, When love was whispered we must part, I would have fonder pressed1 your i hand. Have fonder noted each look and tone. But I am left alone. As my heart pours forthv It sighs for The kind earth shrouds you in a blanket of flowers And "my poor form is draped in a shroud of black. I shall never forget as you lay dead at my feet, Your body still warm, Your eyes looking Appealing to me as to say, "You are all alone.

Goodbye, dear heart, How I smothered you with kisses and Oh, how my poor heart longs for you; Alone in our little home drenched in my tears, The days are empty and bare, the nights sleepless and sad. Oh, come through the darkness and save, For I am all alone. Olivia Stone's poem follows: TO ELLIS FROM OLIVIA "Blow, Blow, Ye Southern Winds." Down in, the valley, in a dark and shady nook, Where the glittering sunbeams never seem to play, Dwells a broken-hearted Bluebell wTiose heart knows no surcease; 'Cause the winds have blown her lover far away. Little Bluebell's heart is sad, her starlit eyes are dim; She never smiles or lifts her drooping head; But when the winds in passing by a plaintive sob is heard, 1 stop to listen; this is what she said: "Blow. blow, ye southern winds.

Blow over land and sea; Blow everywhere the bluebell grows And bring him back to me." Down in the valley where night is falling fast. And all the world in slumber soon will be, She will keepi her lonely vigil and will listen for the sound Of that voice-Jjjat Is to her love's melody: "Blow blow, ye southern winds; "Blow, blow, ye southern winds; Bring- calm to one poor anguished heart, --sgfe And give him back to me."

His pals of the Statler hostelry want to send him to Saranac Lake or some other ri-esoru where 'he may fight his way back to health and strength. So yesterday they were busy disposing of tickets for a benefit for "Macky."

Ha is about 28 years old and was born in Buffalo, although most of his relatives now live in New York.

"Macky" had been "hopping bells" for some years, working at the Statler at various times. He came back this fall and worked a part of November, when ill hralth compelled him to stop. Examination disclosed that he had been gripped by tuberculosis. He rapidly dropped off in weight to about 70 pounds and two weeks aw doctors directed his removal to the Tubercular ward at the Municipal Hospital. But his bellhop friends didn't forget him.

John "Carrenza" McCoy, former beJl captain at the Statler, who now runs a taixcab with a station at the hotel, takep him riding every few davs. And the belihops are determined that their benefit will net a larw amount for the unfortunate "Macky."

WEARY, at times, of the Ftreet With its shuffle and clatter of feet, With its rumble and roar Like the waves on a shore That thunder and batter and beat.
