YOUR friend that there were Unree pas

that while in Glasgow the prisoner hao
exhibited to them the 1dentlcal aia-
monds he was charged with stealing,
and had asked their advice as 10
whether London Or New York Wouiu
be the best place to dispose OF them. :,
The captain listened with the most
eager ATTENTION.
He was now aroused and in earnest.
There was no longer any doubt OF
Louis Patterson's identity. Calling
cab, the captain was driven to the law
yer's office. A hasty conference was
held. 1t was re DIV ed to make appllca-

District Attorney, who had appeared
in the trial for the State, promised to
decide on the application on the NOR
row. The evidence was so clear that
Louis had been made the victim OF
conspiracy to rob him, that the Gov
ernor did not hesitate to grant the
pardon.
Captain Bodfsh, overcome with joy,
rushed to the Jail and thrusting the
pardon in Henry's face, threw his arms
round his neck, and wept like child.
The jewels found on the confidence
man were ordered restored to Louis.
These, with the exception of two or
three of the choicest ones, he disposed
of for cash, and first sending two mes

CROWDS SEE THE BIG PARADE.

Tho Newly-ele cted Lord Mayor Installed
in ONCE with Great Pomp.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The annual circus
provided by the city of London on the
occasion of the installation OF the new
lord mayor was witnessed by tens
of thousands of people to-day
Aid. George Robert Tyler, representing
the Queenhithe Ward, is the new chief
magistrate of the city, and assumed the
reins of office with all the pomp and
ceremony attendant upon such a pro-
ceeding, to the disgust of the many
thousands of unemployed people IN
London who were of the opinion thattne
monev spent on such useless parade
might have been more beneficlally used
in providing assistance for the families
of the starving poor of London. Then
again the terrible distress existing IN
the coal regions was recalled, and 1T IS
not to be wondered at that several
of the most audacious spectators actually
made show of kissing the procession,
which Outbursts Of feeling were prompt"
ly smothered by the public who so dear
" love lord mayors show. The usual
circus programme formed great at
traction, however, and business along
pended from early o1ning until the
close of exhibition Of municipal stupid
ity.
The morning was bright for London
morning; that is, the sun made desper-
ate efforts to shine through the mixture
of fog and smoke which always movers
over the metropolis on the Thames.
The weather was quite cold for this
time of the year, causing the airily clad
girls upon the various symbolical
cars to shiver with the cold
until their faces were almost
blue and causing them to present a
pinched-up appearance which was posi-
lively distressing to behold. So chilly
did the symboIical damsels appear that
many young men of jocular turn of
mind at the various halts made by the
procession as it wendell it's way to the
city, offered their ulsters to the
shivering girls, and there is no doubt
that these garments would have been
thankfully accepted had it not been for
the fact that goddess can hardly be
expected to wear an Inverness cape.
One Of the features of the cars was an &C
curate and elaborate model of the new
tower bridge which was really very
attractive piece Of work.
The new lord mayor succeeds Stuart
Knill, in whose election more than
ordinary interest was taken in view of
the fact that he is Roman Catholic and
refused to promise to conform to some
of the observances of Professionalism
incident to the office of lord mayor,
and an energetic attempt was made
to keep him out Of Office Lord Mayor
Tyler was born in 1885 and is the son of
a former alderman of the corporation of
the city of London. The new lord
mayor became member of the corpo-
ration in 1877 and was appointed an
alderman ten years afterwards.

FUGITIVE BANKER CAUGHT.
Teller SCheIg, of Minneapolis, Arrested in
New York.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. 9.-Scheig,
the absconding teller of the Bank of
Minneapolis, has been arrested in New
York and is to be brought back. 1t is
rumored that some new light may be
thrown upon the suicide of Cashier Bof-
ferdins, which took place the day after
Scheig's defalcation became known.
It ia stated that Bofferding was
backing Frank Shaw when the latter
paid $225, 900 for the exclusive betting
privileges at Washington Park in July.
1t proved a losing venture. Sheig is
said to have known Of the deal and to
have taken advantage of his knowledge
when sent to Chicago with about $40, 900
for Shaw, to make way with the money.

Small Fortune Between the Cracks
A cigar dealer was recently COM
PEELED to move from his downtown
stand, which he had occupied for
thirty-five years. because Of the demo-
lition of the Old building.
He packed his belongings with
many a sigh of regret. When he
had got his things all out he turned
to the workmen, who were waiting to
begin tearing down the building, and
remarked in a rather sarcastic tore
"Well, boys, you may have all you
find in this old trap"
The workmen began on the old
floor, which had been worn into hol-
lows by age. 1t had not been re-
PLACID since it was originally laid.
One of the men ripped up a board
with his crowbar. raising cloud Of
dust. When he got it out of his eyes
he saw something shiny in the
crack
He picked it up and it proved to be
dime. Further investigation re-
vealed the fact that the crack was
lined with silver.
This was an incentive to the work.
men. They piled their crowbars
with remarkable energy for men
poorly paid. In this instance they
were amply rewarded.
In every crack of the floor silver
dimes were found. Some of them
bore dates of nearly half century
ago. The men gathered the coin in
handfuls.
The cigar dealer in speaking CT the
occurrence, said that he hadn't the
slightest idea that so much money
could be lost through carelessness
and poor floor, even in thirty I've

Patterson was now evidently non

vas being turned against him. and he
was almost in dispair. Rallying once
again to the encounter with his old
messmate and friend, he formed cour-
age to ask:

made when you took the gift?"

<'Stop, Captain Bodfsh," cried Patter-
son, stop, I did not ask you what you

'|Go on young man, Irather like your
style of questioning. Again | say L

<'Was there any other person present

your throat and steal your diamonds. u
Capt Bodfish stood there immovable
as statue. His face grew pale, then
'ehe rush of blood made his cheeks
flush and crimson. He was in deep
Thought, resolving in his mind whether
there was any possible way that
Charles Manning could have known
what he said at that time by him to
Eouis Patterson. The captain had
himself admitted it was impossible.
Though lingering doubt perplexed
<nim and blinded him for moment, as
to the course he ought to pursue, he
reached for Louis hand, shook it cor
daily, and, almost sobbing, remarked:

CHAPTER XXI.
NOT YET DECIDED.

The captain learned that the grand
JURY was in session, ana that Louis
case had already been considered in
that peculiar American star cham Der,
where men are convicted first and trie +
;afterward, and a true bill found against
Louis for stealing, in the night time,
property valued at 81 900.
a lawyer was employed to defend
Patterson. At the trial, which came
OFF Immediately, the same positive evil
dence was introduced as was given be-
Sore the magistrate, and the jury re-
sired, and in less than ten minutes
brought in verdict of guilty, and the
Judge sentenced the prisoner to term
of five years in the penitentiary at
Sing Sing.
Louis has caused dispatches to be
sent to his mother and two or three
prominent neighbOrs at Sandy Lake,
asking them to come Immediately to
his assistance, and as no answers
were received, both lawyer and
young mans innocence somewhat
Weakened. The lawyer, however, pro-
posed to unearth what he was begin
ming to believe was a conspiracy, let
the cost be what it might. NOtwith-
standing all the circumstances of guilt,
Capt Bodfish was sorely perpleXed and
,troub led. If this young man is really
Louis Patterson he is innocent. There
could be no question in the captains
mind upon the soundness of this con-
,clusion. If he were Charles Man
ming. then. no doubt, he was justly con-
'victed.
The captain, as he reflected upon
the circumstances referred to by his
questions, became more and more con-
WINGED that he was no imroster, but
n@as Louis Patterson.
Running over in his mind how best
80 unravel this mystery, the Captain
was interrupted by boisterous tap on
his office door. He invited the visitor
to walk in. 1t proved to be a police
