How He Protected Bascomb from n Green
Goods Man He Could Not Arrest.
Chief Drummond of the United
States treasury secret service, tells 4
good story. A man named Bascomh
came up from Tennessee. He had
received green goods circular and
had determined to trap the swindlers.
DrummOnd was detailed TO 90 with
him.
Il put on flannel shirt" SAYS
DrummOnd, "an old pair of trousers,
a rough pair of shoes and soft hat
and followed BascOmb to ffIe meet

man who took him intOa a building. |
followed and stood upon a stairway
where could watch the door leading
into the office of the swindlers After
awhile the door opened and Fowler,
noted green goods man who was
then employed by the Davis brothers,
stepped half way into the hall. He
had valise in his hand and was
neither in the office nor out Of it. but
stood in the door. BascOmb had his
eye on Fowler all the time, as after
ward learned While Fowler was III
the door a colored boy darted across
the hall with valise in his hand.
The exchange was made SO dcftlv
that BascOmb didnt t see it.
In a minute BaScOmb came out and
he and Fowler started for an express
office, | followed. They took a stage
and | took one too. Their stage
stopped quite often, but mine didn't,
and at times | found | was abreast of
them. Fearing that Fowler might
recognize me, | would lie down fiat
upon the floor of my stage whenever
| got near the one | was following.
The passengers We're amazed and
thought, suppose, that | was an
! escaped lunatic. Fowler and Bas-
comb left their stage near the Adams
express office and l ahghted from
mine Just as Fowler was in the act
of handing the valise to the receiving
clerk tapped him on the shoulder
and told him that wanted him, and
that, too, pointing to the bag.
"Bascomb was delighted. I've got
him. I've got him. said he The
valise, he continued, is full of coun-
terfeit money
" My friend, l replied, they grow
smart men in Tennessee, but there
are smarter ones in New York
Then Fowler put in: Look here,
said he to me, let the jay have the
valise If you do l am century
ahead and you will get fifty cases. >"
What did he mean by that2" asked
Drummond.
He meant that the Davises were
to pay him 800 for the part he had
taken in the swindle, and that they
would give me $50 if | didn't inter-
! fere.
Il led Fowler and Bascomb into Il
hallway next to the express office"
continued Drummond, and cut open
, the valise 1t was filled with damp
! paper and block of wood. I'll be
teetotally goldarned, said BascOmb.
+ How did you do itt' he asked Fowler. y
And you arrested Fowler2" said |.
No. | let him go, Drummond
replied There wasn't a point to
be made against him under the law.
There was no counterfeit money i'll

could have had me arrested for high

HISTORY OF ST. VALENTINE.

st. Valentine was an italian
priest who suffered martyrdOm at
Rome in go, or at. Terni in 306,
writes Florence Wilson in the
February Ladies' Home Journal.
Historians differ as to the date.
Legend amplifies, by dwelling on
the virtues of his life and the
manner of his death, and tells how
he was brought before the Emper-
or Claudius IL, who asked why he
did not cultivate his friendship by
hOnOring his gods. AS Valentine
pleaded the canse Of the one true
God earnestly, Calphurnius, the
priest, cried out that he was Sc.
ducing the Emperor, whereupon
he was sent to Asterius TO be
judged. To him Valentine spoke
of Christ, the light of the world,
and Asterius said: off He be the
light of the world, He will restore
the light to my daughter, who has
been blind for two years." The
maiden was brought, and after
Valentine prayed and laid hands
on her she received her sight.
Then Asterius asked that he and
his household might be baptized,
whereat the Emperor being en-
ragged, caused all to be imprisoned,
and Valentine to be beaten with
clubs. He Was beheaded a year
later at Rome ON February IA,
go.
History, having little to tell
concerning the man, makes
amends by dwelling at length on
the ceremonies observed on this
day. They trace the origin of
these to the Roman Lupercalia,
celebrated in February, at which
one practice was to put the names
of women in a box to be drawn
by the men, each being bound to
serve and honor the woman whose
name he had drawn.

As WISE As SHE Is GOOD.

Were she as wise a woman as
she often is good, she would look
about her to discover among her
friends what women most success
fully hold their own against out
side tempters of their husbands,
writes Octave Thanet in o char.
acteristic article on "That Man:
Your Husband" in the February
Ladies' Home Journal. She
would throw her theories into
the waste basket, and make a
fresh set of facts seen by her own
eyes. | think she would discover
this, at least, is what one hum.
BILE observer has discovered-that
unless a woman is interesting to a
man she cannot permanently hold
him.
l once knew a distinguished
politician whose wife was his pri-
vate secretary and best helper.
Do you imagine they were bored
if left alone for an EVENING" AS a
matter of fact their mutual affec-
ton was envied by other couples.
Many men, however, like to be
distracted, amused, soOthed. 1
even know one noble woman that
became an amateur photographer
to help her husband.
But a wise woman, again, has
another quality, quite as neces,
sary in friendship as interest: the
quality that some one has called
the oil of the machinery of life
tact. Such a woman is aware
that "absence makes the heart
grow fonder," and that her hus.
band will love her and value her
all the more for occasional losses
of her society. "Let him go to
his club, now and them" said the
wife of the most devoted husband

of silver for card photographs are
heart shaped, and come singly or
in pairs. Many are engraved
with notices. Owen Meredith's:
'DO not think that years leave us

old Scotch ballad: "Fine pictures

DICKENS LOVE FOR DOGS

DICKENS LOVE FOR DOGS.
My fathers love for dogs led
him into strange friendship dur
ing our stay at Boulogne, writes
Mamie Dickens in the series of
papers "My Father as l Recall
Him" in the February Ladies'
Home Journal. There lived in a
cottage on the street which led
from our house to the town, a
cObbler who used to sit at his
window working all day with his
dOg-a POmeranian-On the table
beside him. The cobbler, in whom
my father became very much
interested because of the intelIi.
gence of his poodle, was taken i'll
and for many months was unable
to work. My father writes: "The
cobbler has been ill these many
months. The little dog sits at
the door so unhappy and anxious
to help that every day expect to
see him beginning a pair of top
boots" Another time father
writes in telling the history of
this little animal: GA cobbler at
BoulOgne, who had the incest of
little dogs that always sat in his
sunny window watching him at
his Ork, asked me if l would
bring the dog home as he couldn't
afford to pay the tax for him.
The cobbler and the dog being
both my particular friends 1 com.
piled. The cobbler parted with
the dog heartbroken. When the
dog got home here, my man, like
an idiot as he is, tied him up and
then united him. The moment
the gate was open, the dog ION the
very day after his ARRIVAL ran out.
Next day Georey and 1 saw him
lying all covered with mud, dead,
outside the neighboring church.
How am l ever to tell the cobbler9
He is too poor to come to Eng
land, so 1 feel that L must lie to
him for life, and say that the dog
is fat and happy"
