Probably the intelligent reader sees
my plan; but certainly l did not choose
to explain to Mr.. Muggridge, when, an
hour later, that worthy but excit-
able gentleman rode, very hot
and very red, up the shadeIess
road to complain OF my having
"Made confounded mess of the ac-
count, you know" | simply advised
him to wait for few days, and then
would be happy to explain every
thing.
That evening, as usual, I left the
grounds at dusk, after spending most
OF the day in watching-though appa-
rently engaged in something else
whether any one went near the spot,
a few hundred yards from thegrounds,
where lay the box on which | especial
ly depended as q bait to hook the
thief. By walking slowly l managed
to let the shades OF evening close
around me before l was far beyond
the spot where | had made up my
mind to watch and wait developments
Eight! Ninel Were they never
coming, and was my trap laid and
baited in vain? Ten. Surely they
should have come by this time. Still,
was that a sound on the road? Yes,
and coming from the village, too.
There were evidently several of them
and | began to regret not having
brought some one to assist me.
Nearer they came, laughing and
talking, as cautiously drew farther
back from the road. And now they
were opposite the spot where the box
lay hid. But-what! They've gone
by; and in the hearty guffaw OF the
man farthest away OF the three re-
cognize Farmer Lobbins, an honest
fellow, whose acquaintance l had
made.
After this sell had almost given up,
and was actually making up MY mind
to aba In the affair, when a faint
sound from down the road made me
crouch as low Is possible once more.
1t was no hoax this time. A short,

nize as a man-of-all-work who had
been helping the gardener that day,
was creeping stealthily down theroad,
close to the bushes. AS soon as he
reached the spot where the box had
been thrown, he lit lantern to aid
him in his search. This time / felt
sure; and so when the man blew out
the light, after securing the supposed
treasure, the capture was made.
ooh! why-yes, observed the wor-
thy Mr. Muggridge, who was in the Of
fee when l brought in the prisoner
that night, "I've had my eye on that
fellow all along"
The man made confession; indeed,
he was caught in the act, and could
not deny it. The jewels were all re-
covered, and the reward proved very
useful in helping me to marry and set
tie down quietly, when, one month
later, Ireceived my promotion.

,yu M. Davis in 1ss4 came west and located

peu Mr.. Davis in 1884 came west and located
in Pekin, Tazewel county, Illinois He
was then very poor, and wishing to change
his location walked from Pekin to Bloom
ington, in the same state, distance of forty
miles Arriving in Bloomington in 1885 he
at once began the prac tice of law, acquir-
ing practice that was constantly increasing
up to the time of his elevation to the bench.
He was the colleague of Abraham Lin
coin, Judge Logan, Gen. Gridley, o. b.
Ficklen and other legal giants of that period
whose lives are portion of the history of
the country
In 1874 Mr.. Davis was elected to the pop
ular branch of the assembly, where he ac-
guired his first experience in legislative
work. He was first called to the bench in
1913 At once his friends recognized that
Davis had found the part in life for which
nature and education had so well fitted him.
In 1862 President Lincoln appointed Mr.
Davis to the highest judicial attainment of
the aspiring jurist-an associate judge of
the supreme court of the United States
This appointment was made more as an
acknowledgment of Mr.. Davis ability as
a iurist than as a reward for service rem
dered to Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Davis more
than justified the presidents expectations
In the winter Of 1sIG-I1 the Illinois legisa-
ture after a stormy session elected David
Davis to represent the state in the United
States senate When President Garfield was
slain Senator Davis was selected by the sem
ate as vice-president pro tenn.

The Chautauqua assembly soon found it
had more upon its hands than it had bar
gained for. There We're so many persons,
young and old, that wanted to learn so many
things at once-some of these even outside
the direct Sunday school field
One Of the crying evils Of the day was the
vile dime literature, whicn was poisoning
chillren's minds. Could not the association
do something to stop it' They thought they
couli. Dr. j. II. Vincent, the Chautauqua
instructor, shouldered the task. He, in cor
nection with able assistants, organized what
grew to be the now famous c. L. S. c. That
means the Chautauqua Literary and Scien-
tific circle. 1t became new organization,
now regularly chartered as the Chautauqua
university.
1t is composed Of pupils all over Amer
lea, who study various branches of
science and literature at home, in local cir
cles, under directions by letter from head
quarters. 1t has done immense COOL. In
the summer there are meetings for those
who can attend them in the unique "IIlll of
Philosophy which you ses in the pic.ur'.
1t carries the thought back to the classic,
beautiful days when Socrates and tn, other
Greek philosophers taught in the porches
and in the open air.
The Circle now has regular course Of in
struction, and the students graduate nt the
end of four years. nybody-black, white,
young or old, male or female-may belong
to the university, for the education is got at
home in spare moments, Examinations are
carried on by letter.

vi Mr. Somerby who was counsel for the
defense in the notorious Alley murder case
the following is told; 1t may be remarked
Tor the benefit of those who do not remem-
Der that cause celebre, that the body of the
murdered man was found hrutally hacked
TO pieces and slowed into barrel which was
discovered floating in the harbor. Soon
after the conclusion of the case Mr.. Som
erby, who had worked very hard in it, went
TO the Isle Of Shoals for rest and while there
sat smoking on the hotel piazza one evening,
m company with other guests of the house
only slightly known to him. One of the lat
ter, man Of the sort gifted by nature with
the faculty of making awkward speeches,
suddenly turned to the lawyer and said:
We have all had good deal of curl
osity, Mr. Somerby, about the Alley case,
and l wish you would tell us frankly pre-
cjsely what you think is the truth of the

Tie qu, stioner began to frame an inquiry
how suicide could dismember his remains
and bestow them in a barrel, when shout
Of laughter gave him dim hint that h had

busy churchman, hard worker and n
close student He is now one of the young
est members of the college of cardinals. His
rise in the church has been remarkable.
Born in Baltimore July %, 1884, ordained
priest June 80, 1861, appointed vicar apos-
tolic of North Carolina in 1868, installed as
bishop of Richmond in 1S72, promoted as
coadjutor archbishop of Baltimore in 1877,
assuming the full archbishopric upon the
death of Archbishop Bayley, he has
reached the crowning honor of his life,
being the second American who has
reached the height Of tho cardinalate. As
the first cardinal came from the north, it
is peculiarly fitting that the second should
be the head of the province which in
cludes so many southern states. Arch
bishop Gibbons priestly career began with
the war, and few men have done more to
cid the south in her onward progress since
the return Of peace In personal appear
ance the archbishop is slender and rather
delicate. His features are clear cut, and
his kindly blue eyes and gentle manners
make stanch friends for him everywhere
His ability is of a high order as a writer,
and as a speaker he is always clear in argu-
ment and simple in style, butit is principally
as an administrator that he has won his
highest reputation.

BALTIMORE, June 81 The long-heralded
ceremony of imposing the cardinals berretta
on Archbishop Gibbons took place to-day,
with all the solemnity and grandeur of a
Roman Catholic church ceremony. The
marvel on an occasion of this kind is how
the aged prelates endure these long cere-
monials in their weighty robes and in q
warm and crowded church. A further
marvel is where do all the people come from
and how deeply interested they appear to
be in all this pomp and pageant 1t was

Gibbons is held by all classes of citizens
