The Notorious Bunko King Again In the
Laws Clutches.
PARIS, May 23.-Thomas O'Brien. the
American bunko king, was arresed to-
day while landing from the steamer
Marseilles, which left New Orleans on
May for Havre and Antwerp The
fugitive tried to leave the steamer
with the cargo, but he was detected
and captured. The French police were
on the lookout for him and one of their
best detectives was watching
1T the wharf. O'Brien appears
to have waited on board
until all was quiet before attempting
to go ashore. He tried to leave in the
confusion attending the removal of the
cargo, and would have escaped but fol
the fact that watch had been left at
the steamer with instructions to keep
close lookout for him. It is said that
on the way over some of O'Brien's &C.
tions led the crew to suspect that they
had an escaped criminal of some i'm
portance on board, and it is also sta ted
that hint was given to the police au-
thorities at Havre upon the arrival of
the vessel.
O'Brien will be given an opportunity,
1t is said, to fight against extradition,
and as soon as he was arrested he in
quired about getting counsel. The
proceedings for his extradition will
have to be under the present French
treaty, which is quite restricted in it's
terms as compared with the treaty
negotiated by Whitelaw Reid. and
which has not yet been approved in
America.
Soon after O'Brien's escape an ac-
count of his fight and Of the reward
offered for his capture was received in
English, French and other continental
ports. The English and French po-
lice have ever since been on the look
out for the man and steamers arriving
at Liverpool, Havre and other places
have been carefully scrutinized.
LATER--O'Brien has again succeeded
in making his escape from the officers
and is at large. He is supposed to be
heading for Belgium, and a close watch
will be kept

CHAPTER XII

The wintry light had faded into dusk;
but Philip Darlington saw Florence in a
moment, and crossed quickly to her side.
'-For three days nearly, Florence" he
said, "you have summed me-has the in
Lcrral been long enough? Have you tor
mented me sufficiently to satisfy yourself?
Or is it the truth, as they tell me, that
you have been ringing the changes Of IA
tigue and illness? You do not look ill
however" And she did not then; her
cheeks were flushed to the hue OF rose.
81 am not ill., she answered unstead-
lily, leaving her hand in his burning grasp.
''Ah, l thought not! l guessed your mo-
tive i'll lying from me; but L have caught
you at last However, you shall not COM
plain of my persecution, Florence. Send
me from you to-day, and l will leave you
in peace till you summon be back again.
But do neither lightly, L beg you"
He spoke with almost tremulous eager
ness, and his low tender voice seemed full
Of paJhOs. one TOOK refuge III evasion.
81 have never summed you; on the con-
trary, have continually wondered at your
ABSENCE
"And longed for my presence? That is
good to hear, Florence. Give me little
patient attention then, now that | have
come; that is all that l ask. l cannot beat
about the bush; it is my nature to always
so straight TO the point; and you have
made me suffer suspense, during the last
three days, beyond my powers of endu-
rance. You tell me in words, Florence,
that you do not like me, and yet confess
rarely, l grant, but some times-that I
have power over you. You put me from
you, and you tempt me to your side. l
know well that l am often outwardly
harsh and brusque to you; but you have
tried me soreIy. Between such tempting
sweetness and such bitter disregard for all
my feelings am puzzled.
Miss Worthington's face was bent down; ;
one hand covered her eyes, the other was
in his grasp. Instinctiyely he guessed his
fate; but he meant to know it now beyond
all doubling.
"Florence, alone of all this household
read your pride; did l not l would APP
proach you very differently. 1t is proba-
BILE you will deem it presumption that l, q
tradesman-yes, 1 know"-he felt her start
at his words, dare to raise my eyes to one

real, true. unselfish love that is worth .

SOul-ThOusands Gather Near

MELBOURNE, May 23.-Frederick Bay
ley Deeming was hanged one minute after
10 o'clock this morning. Seventy report
ers and physicians gathered in the prison
yard, and in front, outside the
wall, thousands upon thousands waited
from o'clock to watch the black
flag and wait for the signal that all
was over. When Deeming was led into
the yard and up to the gallows everybody
was surprised DO see that he was not
chained. He walked unsteadily be-
tween the guards, and several times
tottered as if about to fall. His
face was ashen and he shook like a
man with the palsy. He seemed to be
Supplied by his approaching death.
When his arms were pinioned he
wavered and would have fallen had he
not been caught by the warden. At
first he shook his head when his
last opportunity to speak was given
him. Then he rallied from his stupor
and with strong effort called out:
Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." He
tried to say more and stood with his
mouth half open, but no words came
As the moose was adjusted hi knees

come the controlling spirit in Cornell s
affairs, succeeding, Or as some think, dis
placing, Andrew D. White.
After Ezra CorneIl's death Mr. White was
supreme, but after his appointm ant as
minister to Germany Mr.. Sage came
to the front, and since the litigation
concerning the Fish will, which might
have been compromised if Mr. Sage had
permitted it, the latter has practically
dictated the affairs of the university.

Cornell to the chair Of philosophy, which
Mr.. Sage endowed In memory of his wife,

stantiy killed about eight years ago.

Freetown, Prince Edward island At Is,
entirely dependent On himself, he
became a clerk in general store.
He soon got government scholar
ship, and won sufficient prizes in
Prince of Wales college and Acadia col
ege to continue study in London and
Edinburgh In England and Scotland he
studded under Martineau, Jevons. and
Henry Morley. He won THE Hume
scholarship at Edinburgh, and latter the
Hilbert scholarship, worth 81 900 a year,
over seventy competitors. He then went
to Heidelberg and Gottingen. where
he raped more honors. In 1879 he be-
came an author, as one Of the many inter-
prefers of Kant, and in 1880 ne became
professor of literature and logic at Acadia
college, going from there to Balhousie
college. In 1886 ne weut to Cornell. H.
has since written much on philosophy, and
has become the dean OF that department
in the university.
