What people in general call supersti-
tions get about enough proof of their eff
cacy from time to time to keep them alive.
1t has long been asserted that the body of
a drowned man can be found by means of
his shirt. So when a man went down to
the bottom Of the Mississippi in front Of
the East st. Louis leyee, and a hunt for
the body proved unsuccessful, some one
recalled the superstition, and the searchers
took the shirt the man had laid aside when
he gent in bathing, spread it out on the
water and let it float away. 1t hoated for
awhile and then sank, and they searched
for the body where the shirt went down,
and, sure enough. found it not far away.
One case of this lind of course does not
make a rule, but the man who bossed the
job in this instance said he had seen it
tried dozens of times and it never failed.

twenty-three. They first met at an opium
den, for both are pipe fiends," and there
contracted an alliance. In court they
claimed to be nan and wife, and 1t Is
charitable to assume that they are. Soon
the marvellous ingenuity born of the dope
habit" placed them in the front rank Of
diamond robbers. During the last three
years 1t Is estimated that they nave stolen
and disposed OF between SOS 900 nj $50, 600
worth of gems. Last February they made
their biggest haul, the victim being Carl
Wernicke, a Twenty-eighth street jeweler.
As Mr.. and Mrs. De Ford they made
several cash purchases and gained his con-
fdence. One day they called to return
some statuettes that had been sent to their
residence on approval The woman talked
with Mr.. Wernicke and the man stro. led
into the art room. After awhile Mrs. De
Ford left, and her husband" soon fol
lowed. A little later the proprietor dis.
covered that the jewel case on the show
table had been opened and gems to the
value of 5000 distracted. Not until m
summer were the couple located and C 70
tured- At the lodgings to which they had
moved after turning the trick" the de
t~ectives found hundreds of pawn tickets
and part of the stolen diamonds.
When brought to trial Hamburg and
his companion testified that they had
purchased at Chicago and elsewhere the
various articles identified by Wernicke as
his property. They gave dates, circum-
stances and SO on with astonishing mi
nuteness and never finched under cross
examination, but the evidence against
them was too convincing to admit of a
doubt, and the jury promptly declared
them guilty. 1t will be several years be-
fore they can expect again to "hit the
pipe" or gull confiding tradesmen.

Showing the queer" He was not only
quick in mental processes, but singularly
expert in manual dexterity. Under the
inst ructions OF an Englishman named
Lavelle he mastered chemistry, engraving
and paper making and became an expert
in delicate shadings OF color. In short,
Tom Ballard was so we'll equipped at the
age OF eighteen that he could have won
high honors and acquired an ample for
tune by a perfectly legitimate exercise Of
his talents.
He decided instead to become a counter
feiter; the result has been that nearly half
his subsequent life has been passed in
prison, and he is now dying at forty-six.
He and Lavelle manufactured those re-
markables plates on which fractional cur
rency was printed about the close of the
war, and so perfect that II deceived even
the treasury officials. A fire broke out in
the old building which they used as a
s~torehouse, in New York city, and as the
firemen were throwing mattresses from an
upper window, one of them broke open and
deluged the sidewalk with fifty cent shin
plasters.
Lavelle escaped. Ballard was ignored
on the plea hat he was a "mere boy" but
a few years later, under the guise of car
rying on a clrriage trimming business, he
put out those famous g~reenbacks which
deceived even Treasurer Spinner. A
shower" gave the firm away, but Ballard
sawed through the roof OF his prison ant
escaped to Texas. Along in 1878 Their,
appeared some $500 treasury notes so per
feet that they were accepted at the sub.
treasury and custom house. Then all the
detective force OF the nation, almost, was
set to work and Ballard was taken In the
very act. Thirty years In the Albany peni-
tertiary was his sentence. He served al
most half of them and was pardoned to
die at home. His wife, herself an expert
counterfeiter In the past, has taken good
care OF him n by the time the reader
sees this in all probability Ballard, the
"Koniacker King" may have gone to his
final account.
Another sensational criminal who APP
pears to ave run his course, for some
years at least, is Aime Louis Barraud, the
dynamiter, now in Jail in Belvidere, N. j.
The odd fact about Barraud is that he was
a sickly child, a timid and studious boy,
and that at the age of nineteen he was re-
garded a bookworm and a sentimentalist.
In short, he is a sort Of Eugene Aram in
mental and moral composition. His mother
once had him sent to Blackwell's island as
a ~lunatic, though he protests he was not
sometimes imagined he was "a man OF
wealth, a baron in France and a major In the
American army"
He was born In Paris in 1S47 and taken
TO New York by his parents in 1854. His
father died when he was a boy and his
mother subjected him to rather sewers

cash the secrets betrayed by indiscreet lips.

tossed about like the veriest dross.

large alligator and man-eating
