THE VICTIM
OF HIS
CLOTHES
by Howard Fielding and Frederick n. Burton.
[CoPYRIGHT. 1901
CHAPTER V.-CoHTINUED.

CHAPTER V.-CoNTrNUED.
As Drane emerged from the building
the first thing he saw was the blue coat
of which he was in search. A burly
member Of the force stood on the edge
of the sidewalk, as II placed there by
the hand Of justice.
How wonderful are the workings OF
chance" thought Drane, as he took in
at glance the advantages OF the situa-
ton. My luck changed from the in
:stant my eyes rested on that ticket"
He decided not to call the officer into
the bath so long as he showed no signs
of going away, but to wait till the thief
came out, clothed in his rags, to meet o
fate still worse. He chuckled with o
mean satisfaction ut the thought. His
experience should have taught him to
pity the poor fellow, but it didn't.
There can be no real sympathy between
costly apparel and the habiliments OF
povcrty. The brotherhood Of man can
never be accomplished except by put
ting all the world in one unvarying uni
form.
So Dranc stood there waiting for his
revenge. Suddenly there was hubbub
at the door. An attendant rushed out
hurriedly and looked about. Behind
him Drane could see the thief expostu-
lating with the man at the desk. Then
,the attendants eyes fell upon Drane.
ARREST that man," said he to the po-
liceman; ''he has stolen mans clothes
in our BATH"
Como with me, SIR" said the officer,
laying his hand upon Drane's shoulder.
The blunderbuss of vengeance had
shot both ways again, as is the habit OF
that antiquatcd weapon.

CHAPTER VI.
IT PUZZLED TIE JUDGE.

While the little party was on its way
to the abode of justice, Drane had time
to bring his mind to one definite and
valuable conclusion. His misfortunes
on q similar occasion had been aggra-
waited by his own injudicious utterances.
He resolved to keep still this time, even
if he had to hire somebody to gag him.
1t was little that he knew about New
York except as to its pavements and It's
distances. and both these he was prepared
to condemn as emphatically as would
any rcformer. He had not supposed
that his second arrest took place in the
same judicial district in which his first
camc to pass. BY reason of his rehabili-
tation his nerves had maintained fair
poise during the short journey to the
court, but when he saw the ornate tower
of Jefferson market ahead OF him and
then realized that he was bound to APP
near before the Same justice who had
lectured him but day or two previous
", they fell TO quivering ominously.
Nevertheless no kept up appearances
and cntorcd the court room with an air
of dignified sclf-possession.
The bulk Of the days business had
been cleared away, so he and his COM
panion in distress were summoned ut
once to tho bar.
'.What is this case?' demanded the
judge.
This man." responded the police
man. jerking his thumb towards the
ragged tramp, accuses this gentleman
OF stealing his clothes"

one to tho other Of the parties, and

OH BY THE BYE,

In my sanctum sat ons day, nervous and tired,
With mountain OF work yet to do,
When in came fellow who said he desired
To consume Of my moments q few.
He talked for an hour, bus ~ last he arose
And his form disappeared through the door;
But IL opened again, und he stuck In his nose
With IN oh by the bye"
And came back for half hour more.
He sat on the edge OF cane hottomed chair
With his hat tilted back on his head,
And he talked with breezy and nonchalant Dir
Till wished were crazy or dead;
When his second infiiction he brought to close,
And had bowed himself out as before,
returned 10 my workout he stuck in his nose
With an "Oh! by the bye"
And came back for half hour more.
He had lungs that were leather and cheeks that
were brass,
And his voice tore my nerves like saw;
II Samson had met Sith this tedious ass
He'd have killed him. know, for his Jaw.
He talked and he talked till itched in my toes
=. To kick out this unparalleled bore;
Then he left, but o third time he stuck in his
nose
With an "oh! by the bye"
And cane back for half hour more.
And sat there like one in horrible dream
Assailed by gibbering imp.
Unable to stir hand or foot or to scream,
Perspiring, impressive and limp.
But when for the fourth time he ended my woes
sprnng up, slammed and bolted the door,
For fear lest again he would stick in his nose
With an 'Oh! by the bye"
And comc bac; for half hour more
eThcn said TO myself: There Is not upon earth
An ufliction so griovous and dire
As the fellow who comes with addenda OF mirth,
Who repeats till you nearly expire;
And there's not such fiend, will ado ere

As the talllntirc nuisance who sticks In his nose

THE NEW REPusLIc.

The United states Of Brazil Kashions =
Government Closely After That Of tho
United states Of America.
Rio JANEIiio. May 3l.-The new Con-
stitution has been elaborated by some
of the most notable jurisconsults and
specialists OF Brazil under the immedi-
ate supervision OF the Ministers, who
certainly represent In fair measure the
talent and experience Of the country.
This Constitution will be the funda-
mental law Of the land only after the
Constituent Assembly shall have APP
proved 1t, which approval is not likely
to be withheld long, rs all feel the
necessity Of legalizing the Government
just as soon as possible.
Immediately after the decreeing OF
the Constitution there is to be an cleo
ton for Senators and Deputies-sixty-
three Of the former three for each State
and Federal District) and 200 Of the
latter, according to the population. The
two chambers will meet and begin their
legislative labors together In consti-
tute capacity. Immediately after their
first regular session and election Of pre-
siding officers the Provisional Govern
eminent will place in their hands the
functions Of Government exercised By
the latter since the change effected
November Is last and the Assembly will
at once select the new Chief OF the
State, who will then proceed to organize
o regular Cabinet Of Ministers. Then
the Assembly will revise the Constitu-
ton and afterward promulgate 1t as re-
vised. Subsequently the two chambers
will assume their respective functions
as regular legislative bodies
The following are the principal ideas
contained in the Constitution: Parlia-
mentarism ceases. Brazil adopts the
American system Of q responsible exec
utive with secretaries responsible only
to him and to the people. The Senator
or Deputy who is chosen o secretary
loses his seat. The first election OF the
President will be in November next by
Congress, but the Constitution estab-
fishes that this election subsequently
shall be by means of electors. The
people select electors in proportion to
their delegations in Congress. Each
State has a separate meeting OF its
electors on the same day and at the
same hour. II no citizen shall obtain
an absolute majority of the Electoral
College then Congress shall elect,
choosing from the three persons
who may have the largest number
of votes. After this, in case no
one is yet elected, Congress shall again
vote, dropping the third name and vot-
ing for the two who have the largest
number OF votes, so that the President
elect shall have an absolute majority OF
the votes cast. The President shall be
elected for six years, and shall be incl
ligible for the next ten years succeed
ing his term of Office. The Secretaries
OF State are ineligible for the Presi-
dency during their term of Office. The
President of the Senate shall be the
Vice President of the Republic. In
case of the absence or death Of the
President his Office shall be filled by the
Vice President, next by the Speaker OF
the House Of Representatives, next by
the President of the Senate, and
lastly by the President Of the Supreme
Tribunal OF Justice.
