They then ransacked the house, find
ino considerable money, chiefly in bank
note. The latter were in a disordered
condition, and to make a compact bun
die of them, Collins hastily tore in two
the fatal newspaper, which he CHANGED
to have in his pocket, using one-halt to
wrap his spoils in, and in his haste
leaving the other on the floor.
In order to examine their plunder at
leisure they went to the hotel alluded
to. where one of them engaged a room
to which he repaired, and in which he
was soon joined By the other. Both OF
them were disguised, portion OF Col
Inns being a false beard.
Collins felt 50 nervous over the awful
affair that night that he would not take
any of the pluUder home with him. and
so, after counting the money, he IN
trusted it to Kevern for the night, with
the understanding that they should
meet next day, take TRIP to New
Haven, and there deposit his share IN
the bank in his own name, or any name
he might wish to assume.
When Kevern made package OF the
money agaIn he picked up a fragment
of another newspaper he found in the
room, leaving that bearing Collins
name lying upon the floor. 1t was
shortly after Collins return home that
night that he called my attention to
poor Bradley's house, foolishIy think
ing that by so doing he would not come
within the rang of suspicion,
Collins died of pure terror before the
day appointed for his execution, but
Keyern paid the extreme penalty OF the
law.
1t was in this case which | worked
upon my own account, and in which l
was largely assisted by mere chance
that gave me a place on the detective
force, and | have been pretty successful
ever since. Man, man has worked
harder and displayed more Sagaclty
than did on that occasion without ac-
complishing so great an end Ch'ca90

SAILING

A sunlit bay
The distance gray
Bodies stormy weather;
A fishing-bOat
And we atiOat
Alone together.
A laugh so sweet
A foot so neat,
And she discreetly
So grave and shy
That by and by
I'm lost completely.
The line won't 60
Her head bent low,
A golden glory;
Her hand near mine,
A touch divine
The old, old story.
Still worse the knot
The line forgot
A happy lover!
The sky grows red,
And overhead
The sea-birdS hover.
The sunlight fades
To eyes dim shades,
The day is ended,
Who heeds the hour
When beauty's power
With love is bleRded!
Long years have gone;
We still sail on
Through life together;
And side by side,
Till death divide,
All storms we'll weather.
The shadows gray
Oft cross the way
70 life immortal;
Each grows more dear
As we draw near
The golden portal. .
