You ask whyp Well, it is because they
know so much; they are so smart, you can
teach them anything; they know 1t all, and
consequently they fall the easiest victims
TO the crooks.
To show the loose bond that binds those
murderous Williams: no sooner are they cap
tured than each almost breaks his neck |
trying to convict the Others II would |
have been very small loss ii they had rob- |
bed and killed Phil DAILY; he belongs to a
class who thrive on domestic ruin and social
damnation. No one knows how much he
is worth perhaps million, but every
dollar of his i'll gotten gains carries with It
the marks of blood and sin, that all great
Neptune's ocean can never wash away. In
the present case, however, he may be re-
garded as public benefactor; he has
thrown the brightest of electric lights into
one of the darkest and most detestable dens
of crime and sin. No decent man could
| afford to do it,; because to him, it would be
domestic ruin and social ostracis m. Not so
with Phil DAILY; his boon companions may
chaff him as they lay down their chips OH
green cloth; it may cost him now an then
bottls of champagne; bit his character
won't suffer. All, no; that is beyond the
reach of harm; 1t will be good advertise
ment for his gambling house, and as light
ming seldom strikes in the same place twice
it is safe to say that no Badger will ever 60
hunting for Uncle Phil's guilders again.
NY advice to my friends who visit this
town is, don't make chance acquaintances
among men, and neyer,,allo yourself to ad-
dress any wandering female from the time
you leave home til you get back; keep your
watch and your money out of sight; don't
sport diamonds in your shirt front; say your
prayers before you 60 to bed at night and
again when YOU get up in the morning;
avoid whiskey, poker and champagne; stick
to tea, coffee and ginger pop; be distrustful
of yourself, don't think you know more
than all creation; try to be as good here as
, you are at home, and I'll insure you from
; the peris of New York for enc and bali
per cent, twenty five per cent, of for cash.
Why did the widow Christie marry the
Rev. H. F. Aud of st. Mary's Protestant
/ Episcopal church? That is what we all
/ want to know. Mir. Auld says he married
! her because Bishop Potter told him to.
That's all very well, but why did the bishop
= tell him to marry her? Widow Christie
a says she married him to punish him. II
e that is really so can imagine that lively
n young widow could make it very uncom.
o Portable for fellow if she tried. 1t is al
d exceedingly myterious case all round Mr.
e Auld was the pastor of st. Mary's in Har
e lem, and was regarded as a clerical ant
" social success. He lived with his mother
s. at the parsonage, and so far as known nj
e particular piece Of calico seemed to hay'
le made any serious impression on the younl
N parson. When the Christmas holiday
b. came he found himself the lucky possesso
a of fourteen dressing gowns, nine pairs o
y. embroidered slippers, and twenty-seveI
" smoking caps showing that he stood wei
n- with the female portion of the congregation
ne but it was remarked by all visitors at th
d. parsonage that he always wore the dressing
is gown that had been presented by the wild
OF ow Christie. In March last it was hinte

" that the dominic ought TO marry her; a
fit an, rale they rushed down TO the neighbol
ing minister ard asked him TO marry theI
Ill a. once. II was Lent and the minister IT
e. fused to perform the ceremony; so withou
e, more to do the young parson sat down q
u the Rectory table and drew up an ironcla
a agreement to take the widow as his lawfI
It. wife. When Lent was over, he did nj
,ol feel in marrying mood, and refused
gu keep the contract. Widow Christie appea
fe ed to Bishop Potter, and gave him sue
a cogent reasons why the ceremony shoul
TIA be performed, that the Bishop gave an in

ior place at once, and in obedience TO this
ed cree they were married the other day; al
nd right here comes the strange complicatiC

ut. and immediately informed the minister al
Ike his wife that he would never live with ht

er her rushed out of the church. Mr.. Au
