Crusado of Cranks,

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The World
says that Russell Sage, whom the oomb
tl,rower, Nor :ross, tried with dynamite
to do out OF $l25, 900, has again been
threatened in a similar way. Since Nor
cross attempted to assassinate the ven
erable dnancier, Mr.. Sage has received
nearly 1900 letters from craaks in ali
parts Of the United States, and even
from Erucpe. Some were in other lam
suages than English. The only thing
Mr.. Sage did WAS to tell Inspector Byr-
mss. The Inspector said that he would
besin ''crank crusade" He persuaded
Mr.. Sage tc give him some OF the letters,
or copies OF them. and translatlons OF
foreign ones. With the doing of that,
Mr.. Sage rested content.
Saturday evening, few minute after
O'Clock, there was ring at the door

The servant told him to get out.
Just then Mrs. Sage came to the door.
The man asked if she had got his letter
demanding 50 100000. She replied that
she had not. He said that If he did not
get the money he would blew up the
house. Mrs. Sage ran at hin, and
checked him and pushed him down the

with harshness, and came in a loiter-
ing, absent way down the steps into
the garden. He was man with large,
gray, worried eyes, face unhealthily
pale and a consumptive stoop Of the

At his words Mrs. Maynard put her
hands over the child's ears, and while
she still preserved her stopping atti-

her looks early in life. A sweet, tall
eglantine of an English girl when May

ago, she was now prematurely aged,
with threads OF gray in her golden hair

her mouth, but yesterday, as it were,

had never dreamed that love could slip

for it. France has long since learned
