The militia remnant of Gov. Osborn prison when ed itself unable to cope with the re­cent mutiny of inmates with the regu-lar force of guards.

After being shot twice Eisy died at the city hospital about 15 minutes after his arrival there in the police ambulance.

The shooting occurred In an alley just west of the Washington street mills. His body was picked up about 10 feet from the street. One bullet had struck his right arm near the elbow and another entered the body near the top of the right hip and came out through the abdomen on the left side. During the few minutes he survived he was in great agony from the effects of the wounds.

It is reported from one source that the shooting was the result of a plot by which Eisy and a pal hoped to secure possession of guns; that sol­diers went on with the deal in order to catch the men; that the men and the soldiers met by appointment, and that after some dickering officers sho> at the men, one of whom escaped.

The attorney-general has promised a statement when the investigation is finished.

A thorough probe of the shooting is to be instituted at once by the civil authorities.

Capt. Biackman, in 'command-of the provisional troops who are guarding Jackson prison, admitted, it is said, that he fired the shot that killed Eisy.

"I'm awfully eorrv about it," said Capt. BTacknian. ,TT didn't"'intend to kill him. I shot at his legs, but it was a ciuick shot, and it took effect higher on his body than I intended it should. 1 had to shoot quick as he had a rifle which we had delivered to him according to previous arrange­ments, raised in a threatening man­ner, and I believe if I had not shot ag I did he would have brained one of our men*.

"It was reported to me Friday that this foreigner hnd approached Privates 31 cA rcUo and Jack^on_ with a proposition to feet "possession of some of the state's fire arms. They told ins they had agreed to meet him at 12 o'clock Friday night and deliver the guns. I told them to go ahead with it and we would arrest the men. Lieutenant Smith and ' myself secreted ourselves where we could see .the deal made' and hear what was sajd. After they handed Eisy the rifles he stuck them between his legs, and as was paying the privates they told him he was under arrest. At that mo­ment he stepped back and raised one of the rifles in a threatening attitude. I fired three shot at him. Lieutenant Smith didn't shoot. He was not be­side me, but was on watch as we thought there were two men vin the deal. When Eisy met the privates and dickered with them on the street Friday he had anotherjnan with him but we didn't see anything of him Friday night."

Capt. Blackman's statement that he killed Eisey astonished the city, and when the populace recovered from the first shock comment flew thick and fast. Many openly condemn him, while others excuse him on the ground that he made an unfortunate mistake at the cost of a human life.

A young man who had never testi­fied before was called before the court as a witness in a certain case. He was somewhat flustered over the at­tention that was being paid him^^nd mumbied his words' so that tne youSt woman stenographer could not hear them distinctly. He was told to speak pla^nlv and to turn toward the stenog­rapher.

"Speak to the stenographer," said the prosecutor.

At that the young man arose and with a deep bow to the lady said, "How do you do?"—Satire.

A Pen and tnk Shakespeare.. Woodrow Wilson, on a recent visit

"This appeared next day: " " T i s two. 'tis fifty, 'tis fifty, 'tis

The two massing "gun men," so long sought for the murder of Her­man Rosenthal, are now at police headquarters, Manhattan, and there is no doubt of their identity.

The two men were arrested in company with their wives and a vis­iting pickpocket in a flat which they furnished about August 15, and when they were covered-with the revolvers of the police their only comment was, "Aw, put up your guns; we woh't make no trouble."

They, their wives and the visitor were soon brought to headquarters and the district attorney's ofilce- was notified.

RIGHT HOME Doctor Recommends Postum from Per­

sonal Test.

No one is better able to realize the injurious action of caffeine—the drug in coffee—on the heart, than the doc-ton Tea is just as harmful as coffee because it, too, contains the drug caf-%' feiner ' ' q

When tbe doctor himself has been relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum, he can refer with full conviction to his own case.

A Mo. jmysicfan prescribes Postum foi; many of his patients because he was benefited by it. He says: '

"I wish to add my testimony in re­gard to that excellent preparation— Postum. I r

;have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and a part of the time was un­able to attend to my business.

, "I was a moderate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and using Postum in­stead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to tbe change from coffee to Postum.

"I am prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach.-

"When.made right It has a much be«> ter flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustainer of the system, 1 shall con­tinue to recommend it to our people, and I have my own case to refer to."

C H A P T E R XIX—(Continued). * Not altogether admirable had been

tfaxnea Armstrong's outwardly success­ful career. In much that is high and noble and manly his actions—and his character—had often been lacking, but even the base can love, and sometimes [love transforms, if it be given a chance, The passion of Cymon for Iph-Igenia, made a man and prince out of the rustic beer, and his real love for Enid Maitland might have done more for Armstrong than he himself or any­one who knew him as he was, and few there were who had such knowledge of him, dreamed was possible. There was one thing that (love could not do, however; it could not make him a patient phil­osopher, a good waiter. His rule of life was not very high, but in one way It was admirable, in that prompt, bold desire action was his chiefest charac­teristic.

On this certain morning a month after the heart-breaking disaster, his power of passive endurance had been strained to the vanishing point. The great vOflte range was flung in his face likeCachallenge. Within its secret re-ces«er|ay the solution of the mystery. Somewhere, dead or alive, beyond the soaring1 rampart was the woman he loved. It was impossible for him to remain quiet any longer. Common «ense, reason, every argument that had been adduced, suddenly became of no weight He lifted his head and «tared straight westward, his eyes swept the long semicircle of horizon across which the mighty range was drawn like the chord of gigantic a/c or the string of a mighty bow, Each White peak mocked him, the Insolent aggression of the range called him ir­resistibly to action.

"By Heaven," he said under his breath, rising to his feet, "winter or no winter, I go."

Robert Maitland had offices in the same building: Having once come to a determination; there was no more un­certainty or hesitation about Arm­strong's course. In another moment he was standing in the private room of his friend. The two men were not alone there! Stephen Maitland sat in a; low chair before another window removed from the desk somewhat, staring out at the range. The old man was huddled down .in his , seat, every line of his figure spoke of grief and despair. Of all the places in Den­ver, he liked best his brother's office fronting the rampart of the moun­tains, and hour after hour he sat there quietly looking at the summits, some­times softly shrouded in white,, some­times swept bare by he fierce winter gales that blew across them, some* times sninihg and sparkling so that the eye scarce sustain their reflection

the dazzling sun of Colorado r and at other times seen dimly through

/ l u s t s of whirling snow. •A Oh, yes, the mountains challenged lilm also to tbe other side of th© 4Jange. His heart yearned for his

ild, but he was.too old to make e attempt He could only sit and ay and wait with such faint and fad-g-hope* as. he could still cherish un-

the break up of the spring came. >r the rest h$ troubled nobody; no*1

f notice* bfcnvnobody marked hinu Nobody minded him. Robert Maitland, jr^ansacted his business a" little moral jpftly, a, little more gently, tbat/^asj *ft *^\thkh$6&Wfr e l & l * brother!

was a living grief and a living re­proach to him. Although he was quite blameless he blamed himself. He had not known how he had grown to love his niece until he had lost her. His conscience accused him hourly, and yet he knew not where he was at fault or how he could have done dif­ferently. It was a helpless and hope­less situation. To bim, therefore, en­tered Armstrong.

"Maitland," he began, "I can't stand it any longer. I'm going into the moun­tains."

"You are mad!" "I can't help it. I can't sit here

and face them, damn them, and re­main quiet."

"You wil l never come out alive,** "Oh, yes, I wi l l ; but if I don't, I

swear to God I don't care." * Old Stephen Maitland rose unstead­

ily to his feet and gripped the back of his chair.

"Did I hear aright, sir?" he asked, with a l l the polished and graceful cour­tesy of birth and breeding which never deserted him in any emergency what­soever. "Do you say—"

"I said I was going into the moun­tains to search for her."

"It is madness," urged Robert Mait­land.

But the old man did not hear him. "Thank God!" he exclaimed with

deep feeling. "I have sat here day aft­er day and watched those mighty hills, and I have said to myself that if I had youth and strength as I have love, I would not wait."

"You are right," returned Arm­strong, equally moved, and indeed it would have been hard to have heard and seen that father unresponsively; "£»nd I am not going to wait, either."

"I understand your feelings, Jim, and yours, too, Steve," began Robert Maitland, arguing against his own emo­tions, "even if sl)e escaped the flood, she must be dead by this time."

"You, needn't go over the old argu­ment, Bob. I'm going into the moun­tains, and I'm going now. No," he continued swiftly, as the other opened his mouth to interpose further objec­tions, "you needn't say another word. I'm a free agent, and I'm old enough to decide what I can do. There is no argument, there is no force, there is no appeal, there is nothing that will

until I have examined every square rod within a radius of 60 miles from your camp. I ' l l take the long chance, tho longest, even."

"Well, that's all right," said Rob­ert Maitland. "Of course, r intend to do that as soon as the spring .opens; but what's the use of trying to do it now?"

"It's use to me. Til either go mad here in Denver, or I must go to seek for her there."

"But you will never come back if you once get in those mountains alone."

"I don't care whether I do or not. It's no use, old man, I am going, and that's all there is about it."

Robert Maitland knew men. He rec­ognized finality when he heard it, or when he saw i t r and It was quite evi­dent that he was in the presence of it then. It was no use to «ay more.

"Very well," he said. "I honor you for your feeling, even if I don't think much of your common sense." ^

"Damn common sense," cried Arm­strong, triumphantly. "It's love that moves me now."

At that moment there was a tap on the door. A clerk from the outer of­fice bidden to enter, announced that old Klrkby was in the ante room.

"Bring him in," directed Maitland, eager to welcome him.

He fancied that the newcomer would undoubtedly assist him in dissuading Armstrong from his foolhardy, useless enterprise.

"Mornin', old man," drawled Kirkby. "Howdy, Armstrong, my respects to you, sir," he said, sinking his voice a little as he bowed respectfully toward Mr. Stephen Maitland, a very sympa­thetic look in the old frontiersman's eyes at the sight of the bereaved fa­ther.

"Kirkby, you've come in the very nick of time," at once began Robert Maitland.

"Alius glad to be JoTinny-on-the-spot," smiled the older man.

"Armstrong here," continued the other, intent upon his purpose, "says he can't wait until the spring and the snow melt, he is'going into the moun­tains now to look for Enid."

Kirkby didn't love Armstrong. He didn't care for him a little bit, but there was something in the bold hard!-.

In need, you would not say a word to deter him."

"Why, Steve," expostulated Robert Maitland, "surely you know I would risk anything for Enid. Somehow, it seems as if I were being put in the selfish position by my opposition."

"No, no," said his brother. "It isn't that You have your wife and chil­dren, but this young man—"

"Well, what do you Bay, Kirkby? Not that it makes any difference to me what anybody says. Come, we are wasting time," interposed Armstrong, who, now that he had made up his mind, was anxious to be off.

"Jim Armstrong," answered Kirkfcy, decidedly. "I never thought much o' you in the past, an' I think sence you've put out this last projlck of yourn, that I'm entitled to call you a damn fool, w'ich you are, and I'm an­other, for I'm goln* into the mountains with you."

prejudiced against the west You are men that would do honor to any family, to any society in Philadelphia or any­where else."

"Lord love ye," drawled Kirkby, his eyes twinkling. "There ain't no three men on the Atlantic seaboard that kin match up with two of us yere, to say nothin' of the third."

"Well ," said Robert Maitland, "the thing-now i3 to decide on what's to be done."

"My plan," said Armstrong, "is to go to the old camp.

"Yep," said Kirkby, "that's a good point of deeparture, as my seafarin' fa­ther down Cape Cod way used to cay; an' wat'fi next?"

"I am going up the canon instead of down," said the man, with a flash of Inspiration.

"That ain't no bad idea, nuther," assented the old man. "We looked the ground over pretty thoroughly down

man, "what

three men even, considered what Was to be done next.

"We must begin a systematic search tomorrow," said Armstrong decisive­ly, as tho three men sat around the cheerful fire in the hut.

*Yes," assented Maitland. "Shall we go together, or separately?"

"Separately, of course. We are all hardy and experienced men. Nothing is apt to happen to us. We will meet here every night and plan the next day's work. What do you say, Kirk­by?" .

The old man had been quietly smok­ing while the others talked. He smiled at them in a way which aroused their curiosity and made them feel that he had news for them.

"While you was puttin' the finlshin* touches on this yere camp, I come acrost a heap o' stuns that somehow the wind had swept bare, there was a big rift in front of it which kep' us from seeln' it afore; it was built up in the open w'ere there was no trees, an' in our lumberln' operations we wasn't lookin' that a-way. I came acrost it by any chance an—"

"Well, for God's sake, old cried Armstrong, impatiently, did you find, anything?"

"This,"^ answered Kirkby, carefully producing a folded scrap of paper from his leather vest.

Armstrong fell on it ravenously, and as Maitland bent to him, they both read these words by the firelight

"Miss Enid Maitland, whose foot is so badly crushed as to prevent her travelfng, Is safe in a cabin at the head of this canon. 1 put this notice here to reassure any one who may be seek­ing her as to her welfare. Follow the stream up to its source.

Armstrong, his eyes gleaming. "What do you think of it now?"

"It's the fools, I find," said Kirkby sapiently, "that gener'ly gits there. Providence seems to be a-watchln* over 'em."

"You said you chanced on this pa­per, Jack," continued Maitland. "It looks1 like the deliberate intention of Almighty God."

"I reckon so," answered the other, simply. "You see He's got to look after all the foola on earth to keep 'em from doln* too much damage to their-selves an' to others in this yoro crook­ed trail of a world."

"Kirkby," said Robert Maitland, smil­ing at tho other two, "you have gone clean back on me. I thought you had more sense. But somehow J guess it's contagious, for 1 am going along with you two myself."

"And I, cannot I accompany ,you?" pleaded Stephen Maitland, eagerly drawing near to the other three.

"Not much," said old Kirkby prompt­ly, "You . ain't got the stren'th, or man. You don't know them mountains, nuther. You'd be helpless on a pair o' snow shoes; there ain't anything you could do, you'd jest be a drag On us.

two hours." answered Armstrong. "We can get what we want in the way of sleeping bags and equipment between now and then, if we hurry about it."

"Ef we are goin' to do it, we might as well git a move on- us," asseutea Kirkby, making ready to go.

"Right," answered; Robert Maitland grimly. "When three men set out to make fools oft themselvea, the sooner they get at it and get over with it the better. I've got some busi­ness matters to settle. You two get what's needed, ano\. I'll bear my share." .

A week later a little band of men on snow shoes, wrapped in furs to their eyes, every one heavily burdened with a pack, staggered into the clearing where once bad been pitched the Mait­land camp. The place was covered with snow, of course, but on a shelf of rock half way up fb<j hogback, they found a comparatively level clearing, and there, all working like beavers, they built a rude hut which they cov­ered with canvas and then with tight­ly packed snow, and which would keep the three who remained froir freezing to death. Fortunately they were favored with a brief period of pleasant weather, and a few days served to make a sufficiently habitable camp. MalUand, .Klrkby and Arm­strong worked with tho 'rest.

"What's your hurry, Jim ?" continued Kirkby, calmly. "The gal's safe; one day more or less ain't goin' to make, no difference."

"She's with another man," answered Armstrong quickly.

"Do you know this Newbold?" ask­ed Maitland, looking at the note again.

"No. not personally, but I have heard of him."

Seeks to Advance Herself b y

Using Dupes IS, By ISABEIXE HATCH O'NEILL

Br SB

A DISTINCTION should be made between a flirt and a coquette. Man receives from woman about what he demands, not- only in her mental attitude toward him, but even in the details of her attire—the wearing of tight corsets and high-heeled shoes,

at fhe expense of her health and her physique. If a man seeks sin­cerity and earnestness in a woman, he usually finds those qualities. Many men grow weary of the deeper side of a woman's character. So, in order to please and hold them, Bhe uses the gifts which nature has given her.

Few men comprehend the magnanimity of a woman's sacrifice, the depth of her affections* and how her effort to please, that is, her coquetry, is often by the means to an end—to bind more closely to her the man she loves. Such a woman often leads a man to the gate of his inner being and helps him to awaken and preserve the greatness and purity that lie sleeping there.

The "flirt," on the contrary, is a destroyer, a heartless, selfish crea­ture, living like a parasite on the society to which she contributes noth­ing1, grasping all the adulation and enjoyment within her reach, heedless p£ the wounds which her acts produce. A flirt must have both physical and mental attractions, but she need not be handsome or even pretty. Bright and vivacious she must be. She must know how to ingratiate her­self into a man's heart, flatter him, cater to all his bobbies and make him believe that he is the one man in all the world for her. She must be a good listener. Men are her toys, to be used according to what they have to give—some for the theater, others for good dinners or for what­ever they may have to bestow. The flirt seeks to advance herself socially or financially by using her dupes to forward her own selfish ends.

But ther are men flirts, too, in abundance. How many women have had to meet the disagreeable start, the insulting, insinuating smile of the male flirt on the street, the cars and in other public places. He is quite as dispicable a character as the woman flirt, and far more dangerous, with his subtle, seductive flatteries, his sophistries, his plausible, beguil­ing manner—a creature to be both shunned and scorned. As long as these monsters survive on the face of the earth, and are allowed to glide like poisonous serpents into the affections of innocent and unsuspecting women, just so long will women be betrayed.

The flirt, then, whether man or woman, is a subject of pity and con­tempt, for, although liberally endowed by nature with attributes which might have been used to bless mankind, they forsake the good and fol­low the evil, abandoning themselves to the heartless selfishness.

HERE ARE THE CHARGES MADE

Girls* Vanity Boxes

"Doll Rags 99

By Alice WUMams, La Parte, Ind.

Recently there was quite a discussion regarding girls with vanity boxes and the latest thing in "doll rags," and their de­manding of their friends expensive amuse­ments.

Let me cite a personal experience which from observation is most common. There were two girls. One was neat and moder­ately modern in dress, intelligent and a good listener, the other vapid and rattle­brained, but dressed beautifully. Her only creed is dress, and she is gratified in this because, being an only child, her parents give their all to her. The other, being an

orphan and living on a limited income, bas to be satisfied with being neat. These two, strangely enough, were chums.

They met men who, it is said, have, judgment and discerning powers. Did they choose the plain girl? Never. And why? For the most simple reason—she didn't have on the latest agony. They never waited to see whether there was any character. She was beyond the pale.

Tiring of this sort of thing, she decided to do the picture shows and theaters alone and stroll down side streets on Sunday afternoons whistling to herself when no one was looking.

As this was too highly exciting, she will have to roam on where men ^ 1 * ^ ^ ^ have.a few ideas above collecting baseball pictures from fancy cigarette ill-mannered, boxes and whose greatest boast is the amount of "straights" they can con­sume and still reach their own door without the aid of a passer-by or policeman.

Americans worship only money and what can be bought by or reckoned in money.

Their sole contribution to the world's civilization is a number of engineering and mechanical devices. Even in ma­chinery they do not, however, excel, since it ls invariably made badly. American machinery never lasts; It l i made to come to an early scrap heap.

Their reputed business capacity is a myth. Really, they have only the forms of business; they are slower and more unbusinesslike than any other people.

American education is superficial and vulgar. It does not produce schol­ars/or men of taste, but only quaint learned men and vulgarians.

American polities are more corrupt than any the world has known.

American public servants are, like Russian officials, open to bribery with­out exception.

American statesmen are almost in­variably without education and self-made.

American foreign politics are slip­pery.

Their public life ls vulgar and hys­terical.

The Americans are de-civilized. They have no manners whatever. America has no high society.

Wealthy persons live in hotels; the moderately rich ln wretched flats.

American women are si l l f , sexless and expensive.

American morality is Puritanical In profession, but licentious ln fact. Mar­riages are but a matter of form, and men as well as women unchaste.

While professing to despise, they se­cretly admire European, and espe­cially English, aristocracy. They will pay anything for an English title,, an English education, an English heir­loom, an English work of art, etc.

But they appreciate none of these things except enviously.

America's national characteristics are those of weakness, being bully,

\ bounce, brag and bluster. \ American children are spoiled brats,

I have read many articles published re­cently ou the question "Do animals think ?" and found them of interest I would, how­ever, be more interested were the subject changed to "Do human beings think?"

We look about us and see the misery and suffering caused by the selfishness of in­dividuals and the greed of corporations and politicians, and yet we do nothing to pre­vent them from robbing and starving us.

Do we think when we permit an em­ployer to pay a man $1.50 a day for ten hours' labor to support himself and fam­ily, to buy food and clothing, to pay rent

and for other necessities ? o v Are we human to allow a girl to work eight or ten hours daily, six

days a week, for $5, for doing the same work in many places that a man receives a larger salary for doing?

As an automobilist myself and one who has had many narrow escapes from run­ning down pedestrians and especially chil­dren, I would like to give my views on the prevention of accidents.

If the parents of children—and espe­cially mothers, who are with their children more of the time—will only teach them when quito small how td cross the streets and what to do in a case of emergency when alone, I am sure that many little lives will be saved and the older ones will learn through the* children how to avoid accidents as well.

Teacl Little Ones to Be Careful

Jonathan, while very sentimental, ls without bowels.

Americans have no appreciation of personality. A l l are potentially equal, and consequently there is only inso­lence among the inferior.

Americans are Inhospitable. Americans eat greedily, drink to ex­

cess and die of dyspepsia. An American abroad is ashamed of

his country; he likes nothing better than to be mistaken for an English­man.

The best Americans live in Europe. They have produced no literature,

art, music, architecture, poetry or drama.

American wit and humor are. at test, only a trick of incongruous imag­ination.

They do not speak English, but a sort of uncouth slang.

AND HERE IS THE^ DEFENSE

By BARON VON T A U B E . The following are extracts from "In

Defense of America," written by Bar* on Oustav von Taube, a Pole, who now Uvea In Paris, but who spent many years in the United States and has traveled extensively:

THE ANSWER. What does the dollar represent bnt

the embodiment of a man's work, to­gether with the possibility of farther productive activity beneficial to all?

Nobody can affirm that a Stanford, Carnegie, Pullman, Girard or any oth­er of the hundreds of cash-storing hu­man quantities did not dream of their universities, libraries, special schools, worklngmen's model Institutions, in-flrmaries, colleges, etc., from the very commencement of their efforts to amass fortunes. v

An almost national peculiarity of the American is his ability to derive a greater pleasure and interest from his work than from almost anything else. To aU appearance he ls more aglow with interest about the venture

Itself and Its success than about the money it brings.

With old Ben Franklin's lightning rods all over the world; ln a country where Faraday has so beautifully worked out Count Rumford's early no­tions about the transmutabiUty of en­ergy; a country that has made the best use of Fulton's first steamboat; made the best use of Captain Maury's studies and investigations of the Gulf stream; has used for years Morse's code of telegraphy; a country ln which Edison's phonograph and cine­matograph are popular and daily con­tribute to the enjoyment of old and young; where every car ls stopped with a Westinghouse brake and most of the houses are supplied with tele­phones; where cotton spinners are daily reaping the advantages of Whit­ney's discovery; of his gin In han­dling cotton; where old Remington's typing machine ls still holding its own against all comers; where Roeb-Hng's type of suspension brldgt is gradually superseding the old tube system; where a man cannot get any distance without meeting with the Buckeye harvesters, reapers and bind­ers, with hay tedders and horse rakes, or steam drills—in the face of all that, such a sweeping assertion aB that of Charge II. can be explained only as being due to ignorance.

As to the durability of American machinery, it is found to be the di­rect result of the processes used, and the very American plan of work ls the very opposite of the continental and English.

In the states they generally calcu­late a railway locomotive good for fif­teen years; for quick traffic, for only twelve years; and they design and construct it accordingly. This they do estimating that during that period improvement will have sufficiently ad­vanced to make the use of the old type a dead loss.

Cn what baBis an activity of yearly xy milliards is of a sudden found to be unbusinesslike and possessing merely business forms ye gods might know! I certainly do not.

'Most of the larger business ven­tures being organized as stock compa­nies and corporations, competition of the sharpest kind being the habitual order of things, and all other factors ln what could be bought for money being equal between the competitors, that company gets the best of it which has the best and most talented men at its head.

As an abstract, obscure dealer in abstract mental products I under­stand and see how some American men may have got into discredit, but I would call the attention of J . B., who proverbially stands for the fair and square, that those Americans are far from being typical of the country or its spirit They are rather types of the original places they hall from.

No perfect scholar or man of really good and delicate taste can ever bo made by education only; it is rather to Dame Nature than to the educa­tional institutions that such charac­teristics owe tfreir inception.

Any United States lad from the pub­lic school shows more gumption and capacity of doing something than most of the foreign full-grown ele­ment on i landing.

The fellow educated in the United States has more public spirit in him and a greater capacity for public af­fairs than is the case anywhere else.

The higher article has better chances ln the Union, after all, as it is not squashed so much as elsewhere by the deadening effect of our mod­ern new shape of slavery—that of the, socially received formulae of model figures!

The fearful corruption connected with this political activity is unavoid-able ln any human center serving as the dumping ground of all varieties Of human elements, to whom political rights are granted even before the tlements themselves have bean as­similated.

Bribery in politics is a passably rare occurrence outside of the city centers* where a large unassimilated foreign element is generally to be met with.

Outside of the International read!* nesB to accept a cigar properly offered, I must emphatically state that ever since civil-service reform was intro­duced under Cleveland no government official of the United States is to be bribed.

John Bigelow, Andrew 'White and

Mr. Cboate are types of American statesmen. Certainly all three were thoroughly cultivate^ men. In Ger­many I met with the same uncultured election procedure as in the United States—gross personal blackmail, pro­duced in the same way. only with less good nature and apparently in full earnest. In Russia I heard the wild­est abuse of some of the best and cleanest men^itrtbe country. I found something like it in Merrie Old Eng­land, so that finally I came to the con­clusion that this not overrented fea­ture i n politics is far from being an American peculiarity.

The American father wil l say "his boy has to touch bottom when young," and touching bottom ln the United States means an early mutual under­standing with the healthy element oi earnest workers from below and not intercourse with the few varnished figures above.

The average run of children i i healthy and anything you please but hysterical and nervous; they would compare very well Indeed with th« average run of English hopefuls.

Let it suffice to recollect the Im­portant services rendered to the cul­tured interests of the world by Ameri­ca as the permanent sociological laboratory where most of the present isms and even some embryos of fu­ture vagaries have never ceased to be experimented upon.

The American is Just the man who appreciates personality in the fullest sense of the word. As to the trade­mark of the common Insolence among the Inferior, it is an international characteristic, only perhaps more no­ticeable in America. National brag ls a trait possessed In common with the English cousin, and It would al­most appear to be bad ethics, on ths part of the pot to accuse the kettle at the same hearth of being black.

Tou certainly encounter the broad­est, most generous and most enjoy­able hospitality when invited by some gentleman to his country seat, though of course invitations do not occur without your passing previously a strict examination.

Excepting young clerks, office boys and other young hopefuls, who accom­plish marvels in swallowing all kinds oi cakes and tarts at luncheon time, you will hardly find anything really resembling eating among the serious men of business at that time of the day. A generous breakfast ls the customary rule before leaving home, then very little, if anything, for lunch, and a full spread for dinner at home in the evening. Any drinking, and It is very little prevalent except at din­ner and after dinner, is Indulged in only outside of office and working hours.

Of the American humor there is no need to speak. Old "Sam Slick, the Clock Maker," Methody preacher and Shakespeare reciter, Artemus Ward and Mark Twain are too precious a possession of the English-loving feel­ing and speaking people all over the world to need a defense.

As to the English language used in America, ~the popular medium is far ahead of its counterpart In England. Leaving the cockney'and Londoners' Whitechapel as duly countered by the Bowery of New York, we face the un­deniable fact that any . Englishman traveling the 3,000 miles from New York to San Francisco and the Cali­fornia coast will be at fewer pains to understand and be understood than an American journeying some couple of hundred miles or even less in Eng­land, with its localisms changing with almost every county of the realm.

mm STORY OF DECATUR Interesting Account Is Related of Hot

Time at That Important Strong. I hold in Alabama. !

Elephant That Charged. Dr. Dunbar-Brunton spent some

years ln Africa as a district medical officer. One of his most thrilling ad­ventures was with a bull elephant. With a friend, who went off on anoth­er tack he had been following up the tracks of elephants all day without success, and just before sundown re­ceived word from his comrade that he was going back. Dr. Dunbar-Brunton decided to return also, but before starting on the homeward track sat down and lighted a pipe. He was smoking quietly when he heard the noise of his friend's beaters, and a native who carried his gun said, "Look!"

A great bull elephant was close upon them. Very quietly the doctor laid down his pipe and took his gun, while the natives scuttled up the trees in terror. The doctor took a quick shot, but Just missed the animal's brain pan. It threw up its trunk, opened its mouth, «put its tusks for­ward and charged. A second shot struck in the shoulder, but did not check its onrush.

The doctor shot again when It was within a few paces, and hurtling past him it fell with legs outstretched, with a bullet ln its heart The doctor turned to his pipe. It was still alight, and he finished his smoke while the natives danced round tne body of the elephane.—Chicago News.

Found Old Hiding Place. Whilst workmen were repairing an

ancient fireplace and chimney at Fferm Farm, near Mold, Flintshire, England, the other day, which1 was built ln the early part of the sixth century, they discovered by chance in the chimney a revolving stone, which, upon being removed, revealed a secret chamber. The apartment contained oak furniture ot antique design, including a table, upon which lay antique firearms and feeding uten­sils, and also the remains, reduced to dust, of a repast. It is surmised that the place was utilized as a place of concealment by Royalist fugitives dur­ing the civil war ef the reign of Charles I., from which period it had remained undisturbed and, until the present tint, undiscovered.

In the National Tribune of May 21 Sergeant Ashley V . Newton, Co. 3d Mich., in "Colored Troops at Deca-j tur," says that at Nashville his regi­ment got a rush order to proceed to-Decatur to reinforce General Milroy, j who was being closely pressed by For-! rest. General Milroy was not at) Decatur; neither was Forrest, writes-: W i l l A. McTeer, adjutant, 3d Tenn.1

Cav. f and asting asistant adjutant general, First Brigade, Fourth Divl-j sion, Cavalry Corps, Maryville, Tenn.J In the National Tribune. Gen. Robert S. Granger was ln command of the> military district of north Alabama,; with headquarters at Decatur and Huntsville. Col. C. C. Doolittle, of the; 18th Mich., was in command of the* post at Decatur. '

Comrade Newton says: "We found the bridge burned, but General Mil-! roy had provided for our coming by, erecting a pontoon bridge." j

"Our Cavalry Brigade reported toi General Granger for duty, arriving at) Decatur July 10, 1864, and the bridge! was destroyed before that time, and the pontoon was erected then, and ap­peared as If It had been there for months before. It appears that it was placed there by General Sherman when on his way from Memphis toj Chattanooga." I

Further, Comrade Newton says:! "The Confederates seeing us, empha* sized their objection by rushing a six-;

•piece battery down to the bank of the; river within easy range of the bridge, and they would have mixed things up very seriously for the 3d Mich, but for t>.e timely intervention of two companies of colored troops that were sent by General Milroy to distract their attention in another direction."

I was acting assistant adjutant general of the Cavalry Brigade and on the line of battle. Hood (not For­rest) attacked us, October 26,1864.

In General Granger's report to General Thomas he fixes his whole force at Decatur at 1,750, and with the 29th Mich, added, which had just arrived, and 850 absent on patrol duty, there were only 2,000 men to de­fend Decatur. Every available man was placed out on the line, and then we could not reach around more than half way in front of our works. The only reason that the first day's fight­ing was not one of the greatest bat­tles of the war was because there were not men enough to make it so.

There were no colored troops there that day, but In the night we were re­inforced by the 14th U. S. Colored Inf., commanded by Col. (afterwards General) J. T. Morgan.

The 3d and 29th Mich, reinforced us while engaged in the hottest part on the first afternoon. - I remember distinctly their coming, and as they went out on the line the appearance of the bright, new uniforms was ln decided contrast to our own worn and dingy clothing.

The Confederates were using a bat­tery at a lively rate with deadly ef­fect, but it was nearly a mile from the river and not in range of the bridge at all. On the 27th the enemy threw up some pits on the bank of the river, about a mile above Decatur and hearly a half mile from where the bat­tery was first used by them on the first day. On the morning of the 28th a detachment from the 18th Mich, and 102d Ohio (according to my journal 47 men) made their way down the river, succeeded in flanking the Con­federate rifle pits, made a gallant; charge from their rear, in which a number of men were killed and wounded, and brought in 120 prison­ers.

I stood on the upper porch of the Decatur hotel when Colonel Morgan came in front with the 14th regiment, of colored troops (not two com­panies), and they piled their knap­sacks, leaving one man to the, com­pany as guards. I noticed Colonel Mor­gan holding in his hand a small hatchet, and also that a number of the officers had hatchets.

Thepistrict Attorney By Melville Davis son Post

One of the most disastrous hank fail­ures In tbe history of the middle wesi was that of the Patton National Bank of S t Louis. It took down with it al­most every one of its correspondents —the Exeter Trust company especial­ly, and Blac'kwell's bank, one of the oldest in the Mississippi valley. Its New York correspondent, the Amster-hof National, sent west a half-million dollars in gold that never returned to its money vaults. The bank was closed by the national bank examiner on a Saturday afternoon, a few minutes be­fore three o'clock.

I was in the Stock Exchange on Wall street the next Monday, follow­ing the fluctuations of some St. Louis securities which the Patton Nation­al had been instrumental in placing In New York. It was an ugly morning Cor anything west of the Ohio. I came out of the Stock Exchange at two o'clock disgusted with securities. The Astors were the longest-headed finan­ciers after all. The earth alone was secure.

As I went down the steps into the street, an old man came out from one of the exits of the gallery to the ex­change and spoke to me. "Is this Mr. Courtlandt Parks?" he said. I re» plied that it was, and hurried on up the crowded street. I was not in a very pleasant mood, and he was evi­dently a provincial out to see the horned and hoofed beasts of which he had read in his weekly newspapers. He followed me, however, and when I reached the crossing on Broadway he was at my elbow.

I spoke to him then, a bit impatient­ly. "May I inquire," I said, "who it is that honors me with so close an attem nee?"

The old man hesitated a little. "I am Jeremiah Patton," he replied, "the president of the Patton National Bank of St. Louis. I want to see Randolph tyfason."

I turned -squarely upon him, with no effort to conceal my amazement. He was a tall old man with close-cropped gray hair, mild brown eyes and a kindly mouth. His face was wan and colorless, and one of his legs dragged a little when he walked. I could not stop there on that crowd­ed corner to converse, even with a Magus, although I should not have been more disturbed had I met one of these fabled wise men.

I took him with me to Randolph Ma-sonja house. I wished to hear his story, to learn the details of the fail­ure. The newspapers were not a lit­tle puzzled over it; the bank had seemed prosperous, without a shadow upotfit, up to the day it was closed by order of the comptroller of the cur­rency. BankB do not commonly drop, some fine morning, suddenly into ruin; whisperings go, usually, before de­struction.

I was a bit doubtfud of the identity of the tall old man until I saw him bare-headed, without his great coat, in a chair by the fire. Then I instant­ly recognized him from the newspaper cuts, which represented him seated by a table; but he was more impres­sive, stronger in this pose. His fore-bead was broad, his head big and well-covered with thick gray hafr; but the face, as I have said, was gaunt, the eyepits and cheek-bones showing the first ravages of disaster.

His story, told to Randolph Mason ln a voice that broke now and then and was pieced out with desolate ges-

opinion, beyond human agencies to correct The matter had proceeded too far. Events, arising in orderly, in Infernal sequence, had entirely over­whelmed him.

Jeremiah Patton was seventy-five years bid. He had made a fortune as a wholesale merchant, and had retired from active business late in life, with a reputation established throughout the west for fair dealing and highest Integrity. He had no family, his wife having been dead for twenty years, tt had appeared to him that by estab­lishing a bank, he could usefully em* ploy his wealth, so he had erected a piodern office building on a good cor­ner, and founded the Patton Savings bank, of which he was president and almost the exclusive owner. His ob­ject was to encourage a spirit of thrift among the middle class of the city, Ind bis method was to allow his de­positors every cent that their deposits earned, less the fixed charges of the bank. His own capital yielded a suf­ficient Income for his needs. * * , A' The bank quickly sprang Into prpny

, tnenceV Its deposits were enormous. ' Its president found himself under ft heavy burden of care and responsibil­ity In the Investment of these large sums so they would yield a substantial 'profit \J . ' ; About this time, Belmont Lane, the American president of tbe Russian b i l company, came to St. Louis tG ac­quire, if fiossible, the producing ter­ritory of Missouri, and to establish 'banking relations. Lane was a man of courtly address, imposing pres­ence, and charming personality. He very soon was on intimate terms with -Jeremiah Patton, and he suggested a consolidation of several smaller banks

With tbat of Patton, and the founding <of a national hank. This jplan was ear-ried out, and the Patton National Bank of St Louis was the result, Patton ad­

vancing sufficient money to acquire the major .portion of the stock,x while Lane carried, through various employ­es of his company, a nominal inter­est He, therefore, did not appear on the books as an owner of any stock, and his name was in no way connoted with the institution. He explained that because of tbe wide financial re­lations of the oil .company it would be unwise to connect his name with any one bank, since, should the com­pany want to borrow money, he would be asfced why he did not get it at his own bank.

Jeremiah Patton remained as the president of this new institution and its nominal head, although its active affairs and virtual control passed into the hands of a board of directors se­lected from the associates of Belmont Lane.

The old man halted a little in the march of his narrative, searching if he could bring into more vivid out­line the figure of Belmont Lane. This man's real character was still a mys­tery to him. The d u e t t o his charm­ing, persuasive, dominant personality eluded him when he tried to embody it in words. It always so eluded him, he said, when Lane was not before him. In the man's absence, his in­fluence was naught; before one's face, it was irresistible. When. Belmont Lane urged a plan, It seemed at once practicable, alluring, filled with prom­ise. He made men gaze with him from his own window, and out of it all things looked good, So, when Belmont Lane suggested a sub-company with an enormous paper capital to acquire leases in Missouri for the Russian company, he readily induced Jeremiah Patton to assume its presidency and to hold in his name almost the entire stock. Again, Lane was not of this company; a few of his employes stood in the charter with Patton, and made a board of directors which re­volved around Belmont Lane's finger, as the bank did.

One fine morning, while Mr. Patton was in Chicago, the sub-company bor­rowed two millions of dollars from the Patton National bank on its note, with its stock as collateral. Ten days lat­er, the National Bank Examiner con­demned this loan and declared the collateral worthless. A further exam­ination of the bank's accounts showed extensive overdrafts of the sub-com­pany hidden under dummy notes. The bank was insolvent, and the examiner closed it at the direction of the Fed­eral authorities at Washington.

The Assets of this sub-company proved utterly worthless. Belmont Lane could not be * found. He was thought to have returned to Russia. Jeremiah Patton was utterly ruined. But this was not the worst feature of the situation; the incensed public demanded that some one be punished for so great a swindle. They instant­ly erected a guillotine, and found no head to place under it but that of Jeremiah Patton.

At this point in his story the old man arose, took several financial sheets from his pocket and spread them out on the table. Their head­lines clamored for Jeremiah Patton's arrest

"You see," he continued, "I was president of the company which wreck­ed the bank, and its greatest stock­holder. My coming to New York wil l be considered as a flight from jus­tice. I can hardly hope to reach St.

tures, presented, a situation, in my Louis unaccompanied by a United States marshal. I am certain to be indicted by the next Federal grand Jury, and certain to be convicted."

Randolph Mason was standing by the fire, his shoulder leaning against the mantel, his arm extended along i t He began to examine the old man with sharp, searching queries—not as to the details of the story he had just related, but with respect to the per­sonnel of the Federal court i n this city.

The old man replied that both the

reputed to have great Influence with the new judge. His advice was usual­ly followed with respect to the conduct of trials. The common impression waa that the judge, not yet familiar with the Federal procedure, assumed the advice of the district attorney to be correct The district attorney was successfully posing as an able lawyer, while, ln fact, he was an obscure prac­titioner of Indifferent learning. ..This was the gist of all that JereiniahPat-ton had heard about this court

Randolph Mason took his arm from the mantelshelf -and turned to the banker. "You wil l at once return to S t Louis," he said. "Employ the best counsel you are able to obtain. When you are indicted, insist upon an im­mediate trial; oppose every delay, no matter how favorable it may seem to you. Object to it, and put your ob­jection on the record. When you are acquitted—"

The old man interrupted Mason with an appealing protest. "But I won't be acquitted, Mr. Mason," he said. "Stet-heimer will arrange his jury for that, If l t is necessary. But he won't have to arrange it. The people are mad for a sacrifice. A jury could not be got that would acquit a bank presi­dent under such circumstances. Bel­mont Lane has brought me up to the door of the penitentiary. The United States court will put me inside and turn the key in the lock."

Randolph Mason paid not the slight­est attention to the man's words. He merely repeated the last sentence of his statement.

"When you are acquitted," he said, "you will come at once to me, and I wil l adjust the remaining features of this problem.*!

Jeremiah Fatton returned to St. Louis on that very evening, and I fol­lowed the order of subsequent events in the newspapers of that city. The Federal court was at that time open­ing its session. An indictment was found. Patton's attorneys demurred to this indictment. This demurrer was overruled. They then demanded an immediate trial, and the court or­dered the case to a jury. Two weeks

Joy and Increased importance, put tbe five thousand dollars ln his pocket, and Jacob Solmeyer returned to his office in New York.

The trial of Jeremiah Patton con­tinued. A l l the affairs of the bank were gone into. Masses of documen­tary evidence were introduced. The district attorney was determined to make his reputation on this case. He huraed witb dramatic nose: every piece Of red fire that lie could lay his hands on. The courtroom swarmed with re­porters. The evidence was printed in detail ln a l l the great dailies. Patton was looked upon as an intolerable scoundrel who had wrecked the bank of which he was president, and looted his depositors by borrowing on worth­less securities great sums for a com­pany which he owned-

On a Saturday afternoon, the dis­trict attorney closed for the govern­ment and rested his-^case. *0n the fol­lowing Sunday Jacob Solmeyer tele­graphed the district attorney that there would be a meeting of the bank­ers on Tuesday evening, and to come at once to fcew York. Stetheimer call­ed Solmeyer by long-di$tance tele­phone, explained his situation in re­gard to the Patton trial, and asked if the meeting could not be postponed. Solmeyer answered that a postpone­ment was impossible, that some mem­bers of the syndicate were the heads of great banking houses in Europe and could not await any man's conveni­ence; that the district attorney must attend the meeting, or return the re­tainer paid to him and abandon the scheme.

Uncertain what course to follow, the district attorney took counsel with his wife. She advised him to get rich while he could, while the winged hand of 'opportunity was reached out to him. Money was the only actual pow­er that could be stored away against the time of need. Everything else was like fairy gold—yellow oa*. leaves on the morning after., Still , Stetheim­er feared to abandon the case to sub­ordinates and go out of St. Louis. He would be open to the charge of hav­ing been purchased by the defendant;

were consumed in the examination of talesmen; new panels were obtained and almost wholly rejected. It seemed that every man in the city had con­ceived an opinion against the prisoner. Finally a curious medley of jurors was secured, and the government began the introduction of its testimony.

Up to this time, Mason had done nothing. Now he sent for Jacob Sol­meyer, a lawyer of considerable prom­inence, and explained to him what be was to do. I know in detail how Sol­meyer carried out his instructions: He went at once to St. Louis and called on the district attorney. Ht» explained that certain large operator* of Chicago and Kansas City were la coring to effect a consolidation of al l the big firms in a certain line in the west into one gigantic company with a

judge and the district attorney were i hundred million dollar capitalization, products of a recent political upheaval] under the laws of New Jersey; that in his state. The former United ] the matter was st i l l in an early, for-States judge, a man in but middle life, < mative state. The bankers who were had died suddenly the previous Sep­tember. The present judge, more a pol­itician than lawyer, had yielded an election to the senate in order io ob­tain this life appointment to the bench. He was generally regarded as an honorable man, but one not great* ly learned ln the law.

The district; attorney was a man named Stetheimer, elevated to his po­sition as a reward for conspicuous party service ln the last national elec­tion.' He had organized a certain large element of the city, and held

to furnish the large sums necessary to purchase such plants as would not voluntarily come into the trust, feared that some unfriendly district attorney might attempt to bring the matter in­to court, and thereby affect the bonds of this syndicate, which they would hold as their security. If, however, the principal office of this great pro­jected company could be placed in some large city of the west, where the district attorney of the United States was a person of conservative ideas, they would furnish the money; other-

it until a bargain was struck for this *i*e they would not Solmeyer rep-position. The man was ambitious and hungry to he trich. The" position of United States district attorney car­ried with it ft general practice of the best value in tbe Federal courts. This practice Stetheimer was anxious to se­cure. Jeremiah Patton had heard this criticism of him. Some editors of op­posite politics had even accused him of seeking the civil business of large interests under a veiled suggestion of protection against thle rigor of certain acts of congress. Mr. Patton thought these corporations were principally those that were said to be constant violators of the Interstate commerce laws. SftttV the district attorney *r*»

resented these bankers, and this was the problem they lied presented to him for solution. He had gone care­fully over the entire field, and finally settled upon the district attorney of St Louis aa filling every requirement of his clients. If he coulcf act Solmeyer would pay him five thousand dollars as a retainer; then, when the bankers held their meeting in New

besides that, the assistant district at­torney would step up into his place before the public eye. He must find some other way.

In his extremity, he determined to apply to the judge for a postponement of the. trial until the next term of court This would give him an oppor­tunity to meet the bankers in New York, and still conduct the case. He went at once to the judge and explain­ed that he had just discovered a possl ble connection of several other prom­inent persons with the wrecking of the Patton National bank, and that before he cross-examined Jeremiah Patton, he wished thoroughly to in­vestigate this evidence and fortify himself with all the details. This would take considerable time. Stet­heimer strengthened his suggestion with excellent arguments—it was a matter of the greatest public lmpor. tance; thousands of helpless deposi­tors relied wholly on the courts to in­sure the fidelity of their bankers; swift complete, ruthless punishment of every person involved, high or low, was their only safeguard. He wished to ferret out every one of the crim­inals concerned, to run them down, brand them as thieves, and hand them over to the warden of tbe penitentiary, and the Judge must give him ample time in which to do tbis. In fact, it was ft duty owed to the whole pec* pie of Missouri. The judge decided finally that if these were the facts, he would direct a continuance upon the motion of the district attorney.

8tetheimer went then to the attor­neys for Jeremiah Patton. He said to them that his wife was i l l , threatened with appendicitis, it was thought; that he wished to take ber at once to Phil­adelphia; tbat be would probably be required to remain there during the operation and tbe convalescence of the patient, and requested them to consent to ft postponement of the case until

tinuance,-and if the Judge wished to enter such an order, they would make no vigorous oral argument against l t

When the court convened on Mon­day morning, the judge made the con­tinuance upon the motion of the dis­trict attorney. This motion was not strenuously resisted by the counsel for Jeremiah Patton. They offered a for­mal objection for the prisoner, which was overruled, and the exception was entered on the record. The Judge dis­charged the jury, ordered a new panel and took up the trial of some petty revenue cases, the assistant district attorney appearing for the govern­ment.

Stetheimer explained the meaning of this continuance to the public by covertly suggesting the story told to the judge. The public was appeased with the promise of more and promin­ent victims, and the district attorney stood justified in the conduct of his case. Moreover, his reputation for shrewdness was established, and his figure as a far-sighted, incorruptible public servant on the trail of higher thieves lengthened, widened, loomed larger. He left immediately for New York accompanied by his wife, who was taken to the station in an ambu­lance.

Jacob Solmeyer arranged a meeting of some of the more prosperous look­ing of his clients and took the district attorney before them. They discussed the problems of the great combine, questioned the lawyer at length upon the status of their rights under the interstate Commerce Act, the possi­bility of a Federal investigation, the effect of such a move on the bonds of the trust as a security, and the scope of the act in its criminal fea­tures.

The district attorney slurred over the difficulties in the Federal statue, pointing out that the section providing individual punishment for violation of the act was already a dead letter, that the act itself was largely a bugaboo to appease the farmer. He urged the combine and promised immunity in Missouri. Solmeyer's "bankers" ad­journed without finally determining upon the loan to the contemplated combine. However, they agreed to employ the district attorney, in case the loan was made, and to pay him twenty-five thousand dollars a year. Solmeyer gave the man an addition­al one thousand dollars, and he return­ed to St. Louis.

On Thursday morning Jacob Sol­meyer reported to Randolph Mason, and told of the transaction in detail. He was puzzled to the finger tips and curious to know Mason's object. But he was a man of discretion, aware of the value of silence and the folly of any query put to Randolph Mason. His theory was that Mason wished to make a case against the district attor­ney looking to his removal, and in test of this theory he ventured to present his report carefully in writing, attach­ing to it a sworn stenographic report of the district attorney's speech to the "bankers," including his offer of pro­tection against the Interstate Com­merce Act.

Randolph Mason tossed the papers into the grate when Solmeyer had fin­ished, concluded the conference, and dismissed him.

In the hall the old German blinked behind his thick glasses. "Mein Qott! Mr. Parks," he said; "vat does Ran­dolph Mason mean? He pay six thou­sand dollars to get der district attor­ney on record, den he burns der rec­ord."

"Solmeyer," I replied, "I do not know who was the man in the iron mask. I do not know what melody it was the sirens sang, neither do I know what Randolph Mason means."

And yet I was not in the least puz- , zled. I thought 1 saw clearly into the solution of it all. Mason's ruse had failed—that was the reading of the rid­dle. He had planned to lure the dis­trict attorney out of S t Louis and thereby cripple the prosecution; but the shrewdness of the man had fore­stalled him. Mason had warned Pat­ton to oppose a continuance; he evi­dently counted upon his counsel to resist with such vigor that the court would go on with the trial; be bad not dreamed of a mere objection on the record. The plan had gone to pieces.

I bad just pieced out and rounded up my theory as the correct solution of this otherwise inexplicable side-play, when Randolph Mason came out of his room, walked past me in the hall and started up the stairway. He stopped on the third step-and looked down at me.

"Parks," ne said, "go out to St. Louis at the next term of the court, and move lt to discharge Jeremiah Patton. On your table is a citation to the only case you wi l l require." Then he went on up the stairway, bis hdnd sliding along the mahogany rail.

Thus my theory, like that of Jacob Solmeyer, wae snuffed out

My train to St. Louis was eight hours late because of floods in the Ohio valley. The case of Jeremiah Patton had been called for retrial when I finally reached the United States courtroom. The building was packed with spectators. Tbe district attorney was Inside the rail with a bright new rosebud pinned to the lapel of his coat The prisoner looked tired oet and very old, a wretched, pitiable figure, seated by the table with his at­torney*; the clerk was calling a jury.

THE NATIONAL PAIflY SHOW. As shows and exposition* are sup­

posed toifem^hasize progresa/ to br ins^ '^ out by comparison, new and better methods of operation? $nd as tfcls Is an era of close margin in business, the best minds of the country are con­stantly e n g a g e d ^ i g J B t gf production, and marketing methods. It is reasonable to expect that;an indus­try Involving i f billion,.oi dollars an*, iSJaliy, ~£s does the"flairy industry In" $perica, must have the best brains of the day working out Improvement in the vast problems that are attached to its many branches. ; That this stu­pendous industry might receive its proper recognition among the world's activities, a few patriotic men organ­ized this association for the purpose of holding an annual dairy show that would be a short course in dairy hus­bandry unequaled anywhere else, map­ping out a line of work to produce an educational event that would supple­ment the work of our agricultural col­leges, which was much to be desired in the dairy world, and each recurring show taking advantage of experience gained in the previous shows has im­proved until it is today somewhere near what its founders intend it shall be.

Twelve hundred to fourteen hundred head of the best breeds of dairy cat­tle are promised for exhibition this year, being judged by competent trained experts on type and perfor­mance, with al l records of perfor­mance and cost of production avail­able, with what is best in the arts of breeding and feeding developed by masters in the industry placed at tbe disposal of the visitor, and with the highest achievement of the genius of man on linos of caring for and mar­keting dairy products before you, the 1912 show promises to surpass all its predecessors, and it would indeed be a laggard who would not justify time and expense of attendance upon this great show. Within its portals the old-timer can gain most useful knowU edge for his daily farm activities, and a beginner can equip himself with the groundwork for embarking upon a suc­cessful dairy enterprise. The hand­ful of men who commenced this show have been supplemented by several hundred others from all over the country who from contact were con­vinced of the integrity of purpose of its founders and desired to become Identified withv the work undertaken. As success each year crowns the ef­forts of the management the feeling takes root with the dairy people/that this show should te the mecca to which all men lnteresteoT^in / dairy progress should make an annual pil­grimage and^r ing their fellows with them in goodly numbers.

This show is the mart for exchange of experiences and ideas that j have made or broke those following the lines disclosed. It is the ma. where all that is best in dairying, be it breeding, feeding, fitting for show yard, or developing to the highest standard of production for market pur­poses is discussed; where all ' that is modern in farm and dairy machinery is displayed in practical manner. Here the east meets the west; the young­ster rubs ( oows with the veteran. In fact, no fair or exposition can hope to attain the value and importance that this exposition has attained. It stauds today honestly administered for the dairy industry as a whole; it knows no breed or interest above an­other and is the highest exponent of all that is best in dairying. The seventh annual show, better equipped, with all features of merit amplified, new and* instructive features added in the government educational exhibit, no majttef what character of stock rais­ing he is engaged in a day or two spent at the show must be helpful to tbe man who wants to advance in his methods and make more money from his farm. It is a farmer's show, the less pretentious scale you farm on the more need you have of its teachings. The railroads are doing a great work along their respective lines and they, together with the agricultural and dairy press, are rendering valuable support to this show. This show is held in Chicago every year. This year October 24 to November %. Adv.

CHAPTER; X X ' (Continued). "Let me go!" she panted. He

laughed his cool laugh Of triumph. "Let you go—ask me anything but

that, Betty! Have you no reward for patience such as mine? A whole sum* mer has passed since I saw you first—"

There was the noisy shuffling of feet on the stairs, and releasing Bet­ty, Murrell swung about on his heel and faced the dtfor. It was pushed open an inch at a time by a not too confident hand and Mr. Slosson thus guardedly presented himself to the eye of his chief, whom he beckoned

. from the room. "Well?" "said Murrell, when they

stood together on the landing. "Just come across to the keel

boat!" and Slosson led the way down stairs and from the house.

"Damn you, Joe, you might have* waited!" observed the outiaw. Slos­son gave him a hardened grin. They crossed the clearing and boarded the keel boat which rested against the bank. As they did so the cabin in the stern gave up a shattered pres­ence in the shape of Tom Ware. Mur­rell started violently. "I thought you were hanging out in Memphis, Tom?" he said, and his brow darkened, aa. sinister and forbidding, he stepped closer to the planter. Ware dM not answer at once, but looked at Mur­re l l out of heavy bloodshot eyes, hie face pinched and ghastly. At last he said;, speaking with visible effort".

,AI stayed in Memphis until five o'clock this morning."

"Damn your early hours!" roared Murrell. "What are you doing here? ! suppose you've been showing that dead face of yours about the neigh­borhood—why didn't you stay at Belle Plain, since jpou couldn't keep away?" : "I haven't been near Belie Plain; i came bere instead. How am 1 going to meet people and answer ques­tions?" His teeth were chattering. "Is it known she's missing?" he added.

"Hicks raised the alarm the first thlnT'thfs morning,* according to the Instructions I'd given him." * "Yes?" gasped Ware. He was drip­

ping from every pore and the sickly color came and Went on his urisnaven cheeks. Murrell dropped a heavy hand,on his shoulder. * "You haven't been at Belle Plain,

you say, but has any one seen.you on the road this morning?*' '

"No one, John," cried Ware, pant-lag between each word. There7 ^as a moment's pause, and .Ware spoke again r "Wtyat are they doing at Belie Plain?" he demanded In a whisper. Murrell's Hps curled.

"I understand there Is talk of sui­cide," he said;

"Good!" cried Ware. ' J

"They are dragging tbe bayou down below the bouse. It^ooks as, though

"She'll be sent down river tonfight," | torth an empty sound, and he sighed again; he attempted to peer into it, closing one watery eye as he tilted it toward the light.

"I wonder no Yankee has ever thought to Invent a jug with a glass bottom," be observed.

"What for?" asked Mahaffy.. "Y/ou astonish me, Solomon/' ex­

claimed the Judge. "Coming as you do from that section which invented tbe wooden nutmeg, and an eight-day clock that has been known to run as much as four or five hours at a stretch. I am aware the Yankees are an ingenious people; I wonder none ot 'em ever thought or a Jug with a glass bottom, so that when1 a body holds it up to the light he can see at a glance whether it is empty or not. Do you reckon Pegloe has sufficient confidence to fill the Jug again for us?"

But Mahaffy's expression Indicated ho great confidence in Mr. Pegloe's confidence.

"Credit," began the judge, "is pro­verbially shy; still it may sometimes be increased, like the muscles of the body and the mental faculties, by ju­dicious uBe. I've always regarded Pegloe's as a cheap mind. I hope l have done him an injustice." He put on his hat, and tucking the jug under his arm went from the house.

Ten or fifteen minutes elapsed. Ma­haffy considered this a good sign; lt didn't take long to say no, he reflect­ed. Another ten or fifteen elapsed. Mahaffy lost heart. Then there came a hasty step beyond the door, it was thrown violently open, and the judge precipitated himself into the room. A glance showed Mahaffy that he was laboring under intense excitement.

"Solomon, I bring shocking news. God knows what the next few hours may reveal!" cried the Judge, mop­ping his brow. " Ilss Malroy his dis­appeared from Belle Plain, and Han­nibal has gone with her!"

"Where have they gone?" asked Ma­haffy, and his long jaw dropped.

"Would to God I had an answer ready for that question, Solomon!" answered the judge, with a melan­choly shake of the nead. Ho gazed down on his friend with an air of large tolerance. "I am going to BeWe Plain, but you are too drunk. Sleep it off, Solomon, and join me when

said Murrell. "Captain," t^gan Slosson, who up

to this had taken no part in the con­versation, "when are you going to cross to t'other side of the bayou?"

"Soon," replied Murrell. Slosson laughed.

"I didn't know but you'd clean tor-got the Clan's business. 1 want to ask another Question—but first 1 want to say that. no one thinks higher or more frequent of the ladies than just me; Vm genuinely fphd of 'em, and I've never lifted my hand ag'in 'em except In .kindness." Mr. Slosson looked at Ware with an exceedingly virtuous expression of countenance. He continued:* "Yo'* orders are that we're to slip out of this a little afore midnight, but suppose there's a hitch —'here's the lady knowing what she knows and here's the boy knowing what he knows."

"There can be no hitch," rasped out Murrell arrogantly.

"I never knew a speculation that couldn't go wrong; and by rights we should have got away last night."

"Well, whose fault is it you didn't?" demanded Murrell.

"In a manner it were mine, but the ark got on a sandbank as" we; were fetching it in and it took us the whole damn'night to get clear."

"Well?" 1 prompted Murrell, v l t h a sullen fro,wii.

"Suppose they get shut of. that no­tion of theirs that the l a ^ ' a done drowned herself; suppose th^y take to watching j the river? Or suppose the whole damn bottom drops o i i ^ f this deal? Wihat then? The lady, good looking, as she is, knows eiough to make'west Tennessee mlghti* on-healthy fer some of us. I 'say, sup­pose it'ff'a flash in the pan and you have to, crowd the distance in be­tween you and this part of the world, you can't [tell me you'll have any use for her then." Slosson paused im­pressively. ''And here's Mr. Ware

"feeling hati, feeling like hell," he re-1 sumed. "Him and me don't want to be left In no trap with you &one Ood only knows where."

"I'll send a man to take charge of the keel boat. I can't risk any more of your bungling, Joe."

"That's all right, but you don't an­swer my question," persisted Slosson, with admirable tenacity of purpose.

"What is your question, Joe?" "A lot can happen between this and

midnight—" "If things go wrong with us there'll

be a blaze at the head of the bayou; Does that satisfy you?"

"And what then?" Murrell hesitated. "What about the girl?" Insisted

Slosson, dragging him back to the point at issue between them. "As a man I wouldn't lift my hand ag'in po good looking woman except/ l i k V 1 said, in kindness; but she can't be turned loose; she knows too much. What's the word, Captain—you say i t!" he urged. He made a gesture of appeal to Ware.

"Look for the light; better still, look for the man I'll send." And with this Murrell would have turned away, but Slosson detained him.

"Who'll he be?" "Some fellow who knowsvthe river," "And if it's the light?" asked the

tavern-keeper in a hoarse undertone. Again he looked toward Ware, who, dry-lipped and ashen, was regarding him steadfastly. Glance met glance, for a brief Instant they looked into each other's eyes and then the hand Slosson had rested on Murrell's shoulder dropped at his side.

seer had juBt fetched the news Into town."

Again they were silent, all their energies being absorbed by the physi­cal exertion they were making. The road danced before their burning eyes, it seemed to be uncoiling itself serpent-wise with hideous undulations. Mr. Mahaffy was conscious that the judge, of whom he caught a blurred vision now at his right side, now at his left, was laboring painfully ln the heat and dust, the breath whistling from between his parched lips. * "You're Just ripe for apoplexy, Price!" he snarled, moderating his pace.

"Go on," said tho Judge, with stolid resolution.

Two miles out of the village they came to a roadside spring; here they paused for an Instant. Mahaffy scooped up handfuls of the clear wa­ter and sucked it greedily. The judge dropped on his stomach and burled his face in the tiny pool, gulping up great thirsty swallows.

"If anything happens to the child, the man responsible for It would bet­ter never been born—I'll pursue him with undiminished energy from this moment forth!" he panted.

"What could happen to him, Price?" asked Mahaffy.

0 "God knows, poor little lad!" "Will you shut up!" cried Mahaffy

savagely. "Solomon'/' "Why do you go building on that

Idea? Why should any one harm him —what earthly purpose—"

"I tell you, Solomon, we are the pivotal point in a vast circle of crime. This is a blow at me—this is revenge, sir, neither more nor less! They have struck at me through the boy, it is as plain as day."

"What did the overseer say?" "Just that they found Miss Malroy

gone from Belle Plain this morning, and the boy with her."

"This is like you, Price! How do you know they haven't spent the night at some neighbor's?"

"The^iearest neighhor is five or six miles distant. Miss Malroy and Han­

nibal were seen along about dusk In the grounds at Itelle Plain; do you mean to tell me you consider lt Jlkely that they set out on foot at that hour,

The Judge Meets the Situation. 1

The judge's and Mr. Mahaffy's cele­bration of the former's rehabilitated credit had occupied the shank of the evening,.the small Jio.urs .of the night, and that part of the succeeding day which the southwest described as soon In the morning; and as the stone jug, In- which? were garnered the spoils o* the highly confidential but entirely misleading conversation which the Judge had' held with Mr. Pegloe after his return from Belle Plain, lost ln weight, it might have been observed that he and Mr. Mahaffy seemed to

*gatmin that nice sense of equity which should form the basis of all human re­lations, t h e judge watched' Mr. Ma­haffy, and Mr. Mahaffy watched the judge, eac^trustfuW placing the reg­ulation of his private conduct in' the bands of this friend, as the one most likely to be affected by the: rectitude

Good Advice-Aud Free An exchange bands out some

good advice when it says: "When a stranger comes along selling any sort of commodity, from a gold brick to a steel range, from min­ing stock to blue sky, size him np carefully, listen to bis tale of woe if you want to, but be mighty careful how you sign his contract. If he has an article of genuine merit why is it not sold through regular channels of business? One always takes an unnecessary chance with strangers passing through the country, Your father bought "Bohemian oats" aud got stung. Your grandfather signed receipts which turned np later as promissory notes which he had to pay. Learn a lesson from their experience and don't be a sucker, to be laughed at and called "Easy Money" by the smooth stranger after be has left your neighbor­hood and gone yon know not where. At least, it would be the part of wisdom to first consult your home merchant, who has al­ways been your business friend, and see if he can not do just as well or better by you, before you open your pocket to a stranger. And before you sign fully, know just how it is worded, any order blank, read it over carefully, see if it binds the other fellow as firmly as it does you, be sure you known it is all right and that yon know just where to find the firm if anything goes wrong, and then sleep on it before you sign it. That is the one safe method with strangers.

REMEMBER

Mrs. Samel Grimes Frances Noble, the oldest of a

family of eight children, born to Leonard and Annie Noble, was born in Pinckney, August 1, 1837 and died at her home there September, 18, 1912 aged 75 years; 1 month and 18 days.

She was Pinckney's oldest citiz­en, not in years, but in point of residence and was the first child born in that village, being born in the very year and month in which it was founded. Her father left Connecticut in 1836 and after a journey of two months by wagon, following the "blazed trail" Iccat-tbere and built the first black­smith shop. His first child was born in what was known as the Pickett house which stood near the creamery building on Main street and was the first frame dwelling erected in that village.

Miss Noble was the first child to be enrolled in the Presbyter­ian church, the first church es­tablished there, and was always closely identified with that church as she has been with its sucessor, the Congregational church.

On June 7, 1854, she was united in marriage to Samuel Grimes and the fifty-eight years of their marr­ied life bas been spent in the same block. To this union was born four sons, Frank of Shawnee, Ohio, Willis of New York, Charles of Wayside, Nebraska and S. T. of Topeka, Kansas, who with their father, Samuel Grimes, are left to mourn her loss.
