STOLEN BY GIPSIES.
The Hot Chase of a Farmers Posse %
Recover a Child From the Nomads

John Andrus, a charcoal peddler from the
Pequsnnock valley, told y story yesterday 81
Newark, n. J., OF an encounter with gipsies
that he and his neighbors had. On Monday
Joseph, the ive-yesr-old son Of Henry Mitchell,
a farmer, was picked up short distance from
his home by band of gipsies and taken away.
Andrus saw the thing done and ran imms-
diately 10 the child's home, telling his father
what had happened. Mr.. Mitchell and his son,
two hired men and Mr.. Andrus and q son i'm
mediateIy started in pursuit. They took with
tn EN- two bulldogs and bloodhound. Before
the gipsies were caught two more farmers joined
the pursuing party There was hot chase for
two or three miles before the caravan was over
taken. With reyolvers in their hands the pur-
suers demanded the surrender Of the child.
The order Was given TO IRE within three min
ules unless the child produced. That
brought the gipsies to terms, and little Joe,
with his hands tied, was given over 10 his
father The gipsies were told that IL they ever
returned TO the neighborhood they would be
'tarred and featbered. The child Was &C badly
frightened that his mind is partially Affected.
He said that after he was taken into The van hn
hands and feet were tied and something was
bound over his mouth TO prevent his ouicries.

enlivened hts respect for cleanliness
that he had ventured to take bath.

There were lot OF late arrivals at
Jefferson market that day, and 1t was
six o'clock before the court was ready
to adjourn. Mrs. Bowers and the fair
widow were still there, the former stay
ing against her will at the earnest solic-
itation Of the latter. She was sadly
disturbed at having failed SO signally
to aid her benefactor, and was anxious
to learn the result Of the inquiry. Just
in the nick Of time, as 1t seemed to her,
messenger boy crawled into the room
and demanded with amazing indiffer-
ence:
SIS de Judge here?"
The Judge relieved the boy OF his dis
patch and addressed remark to him
which sent him out Of court several
thousand times faster than he came in.
The two claimants to the name OF Drane
were already at the bar. The Judge read
the telegram silently, coughed, read 1t
again and remarked:
This does not seem to help matters
for either OF you"
Then he read the dispatch aloud:
'TnE JUDGE, Jefferson Market Court

doubtedly insane.

"There is, q vile conspiracy back OF

ALL" shouted the imposter.

angrily, and the Judge himself added:

mented. shall commit you both to an
asylum for examination and treat
ment."

was in the sweating room," he con-
tinued, ''he looked just about like any

There is an individuality in legs, but
few men recognize it, not even at
tendants at baths who have unrestricted
opportunities for observation. The tes-
timony Of these witnesses made 1t pref
ty clear that Lawrence had left the bath
with better clothes than he wore when
he entered, but they could do nothing
to clear up the question OF identity.
Then Lawrence requested the privi-
lege Of examining the plaintiff. This
granted, he confused tho fellow in short
order by putting a series Of questions

tended to be engaged. The scale ap-

ORIGINAL PACKAGE sILL.

A Broad and Sweeping Change BY the
House Judiciary COMMITTEES.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The House
Committee on the Judiciary after hav-
ing under consideration. for four meet
ings the Senate Original Package" bill.
has decided to report to the House in
its stead q substitute agreed on by the
committee with one dissenting voice.
1t is broader in scope than the Senate
bill, inasmuch as its provisions apply to
all articles OF Interstate commerce.
whereas the Senate bill only applies to
intoxicating liquors. The substitute is
as follows: 'That whenever any article
of commerce is imported into any State
from any other State, Territory or
foreign Nation and there held
or offered for sale, the same shall then
be subject to the laws of such State.
provided that no discrimination shall
be made by any State in favor Of It's
citizens against those Of other States IN
respect to the sale Of any article Of
commerce, nor in favor Of its own prod
ucts against those Of like character pro-
duced in other States, nor shall the
transportation of commerce through
any State be DISTRACTED except in the
necessary enforcement Of the health
laws Of such State"

CHAPTER VII.
JENKINS I,ETREAT.

Amid the sorrows in which Drane was
again involved, he had one consolation
the young woman with thirteen mill
ions evidently felt almost as badly as
he did. He heard her tell Mrs. Bowers
that the judicial blacksmith on the
bench was simply dreadful"
But this was not the best Of it; he
heard Mrs. Bowers reply. Only two
words, indeed, and as irrelevant as are
most feminine utterances in times OF
emergency: "Why, Bessie!" was all she
said, or at least all that Drane heard,
but he was more than rejoiced. Her
name was Bessie! At last he had some
thing to call her in his thoughts. 1t
was the first hint on the subject. In
his 10y at this discovery he forgot to re-
greet that he didn't know the other half
of her name. He watched her pour her
woes into Mrs. Bowers ear, and was
satisfied.
Such spectacle is always entertain
ing. for when q woman has embarrassed
man by making blunder, II she Is
not too stupid to see it, nor too proud to
acknowledge it, nor too nervous to know
what she is about, she will sometimes
pity him divinely, il he is reasonably
good-looking. And If she has begun to
feel little tenderly toward him, she
will often accuse herself unjustly, in
order that she may have the luxury OF
telling herself how sorry she is that she
has put him into difficulty.
That was why Bessie now gazed ut
Drane with such angelic sympathy de-
picted upon her beautiful countenance.
She said in her heart that her testimony
had somehow helped to prove that he
was insane. 1t was q question OF the
heart, and in such cases woman never
allows an appeal to the higher tribunal
OF the mind. So Bessie acted upon her
first impulse and implored Mrs. Bowers
to do something, no matter what 1t was.
With Mrs. Bowers 1t was u question
neither OF the heart nor Of the mind, but
of the conscience. Therefore she de-
cided to be merciless, but just 1t was
her plain duty to protect Bessie from
lnDOSIOIS, lOEbuuC ohN AuhoeASot
so she frowned at Drane-in way that
gave him chill to supplement the
which Bessie's tender glanccS had put
into his blood.
where will they send him nOw?"
asked Bessie, shuddering.
Probably to Wards Island, tempo
rarily," replied Mrs. Bowers.
"WiIl they be good to him there?"
"He will be cared for" said Mrs. Bow
crs. sternly; ''and fcd-to alcertain ex-
tent"
'Oh, N.Y. cried Bessie, tearfully.
Cant we take him homo with US? You
have been so kind TO me that iook
upon your house as homo now, you
know"
81 couldn't think OF sOch thing"
Mrs. Bowers said, nrmly. Il can not
have lunatic in my house. II Is all
that can do to look out for you"
