ton, Struggling his shoulders. 4 was
to be shown four hats like mine. VIII
YOU drink a bottle with me tonight?"
No. " said the escort. Il have piece
of work | want to push through"
They had reached the door of the
building in which was Burton's studio
"We will wait here till the Independ
ence hall clock strikes"
1t began TO strike as Burton spoke
and he started to count "One-t-"
An instant before the second stroke a
peddler, carrying a basket of small
plaster casts, issued from the door OF
the studio building.
And he had Oh one of the hats.
Burton's face heightened and the es-
cort'S face broadened Burton looked
at the man twice and then said:
I'm glad you did not accept my in
yitation to a bottle. Let's 90 upstairs.
In the studio sat the same men who
had been present the night before in
Gillian's studio. They were lounging
about the room, making themselves at
home. On table, in plain sight, lay
the hat. The men jumped to their feet
as the two bettors entered, and Gillian
asked:
Did you win or lose Burton?"
Lost, confound it all! You can give
the stakes to the other fellows, Brown"
Then he told how it all happened and
wound up by saying: Il don't care a
rap about the money, but to think that
that beast of an Italian should have
come out of my studio, you might say,
with one of those hats on, Just as the
time was almost up and after | had in-
yited Lanam TO drink wine with me
That's what breaks me all up"
so You confess that you are un.
done?" questioned Brown.
"Of course, and I'll give the blooming
hat To anyone who wants it,
"Now, my SON said Gillian, Il would
lecture give unto you. The next time
you get anything you think no one else
can gtt and everyone will be envious of
don't crow over the other fellows You
have won the money but the beers are
on YOU"
Burton's face wore an expression of
blank surprise.
What do You mean?' he said.
Just what say"
"But | SaH four hats like mine"
NO, my sO,,. you did not. You saw
your own hat each time-yours is the
only one of its kind in the city. You
may wear it with pride, but I'd advise
you to have it renovated before you do
so"
Still Burton looked puzzled.
You are not lucid. | do not under
stand what you are driving at. How
did my hat get to Seventh and Chestnut
streets before we got there and how
can this be the hat the Italian wore
when l know he could not have got up
here before | did?"
My son, you have much to learn. In
the first place, a man can run faster
than a man can walk, and then a man
can pull up hat attached to a string to
the sixth floor of a building before
man who has had but seconds start
can climb six flights Of stairs"
Then Burton smiled.
Il suppose I've won literally" he
said, but to all intents and purposes l
have lost. | can't take that money,
Brown"
And the feast which was then held
was remembered long afterward. -

FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
The Verdict Against Man Who Killed
Two Men in Canada.

Beauharnois, Quebec, Nov. 3.-Fran-
els Cuthbert Valentine Shorts, who shot
and killed ohm 10y and Maxine LIE
Boueff in the Valleyield cotton mill, on
the night of March /, 1895, was today
found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. Argument in the case was con-
cluded Saturday evening and the jury
was then locked up until this morning,
as they desired to deliberate on ques-
tons submitted to them by the judge.
The plea set up by the defense was that
Of insanity, and it was with this point
that the judges questions had to deal.
The verdict, however, was that the state
of mind of the prisoner at the time of
committing the crime was not such as
rendered him incapable of judging the
nature and quality of his acts or of
knowing that such act or murder was
doing wrong.
Francis Cuthbert Valentine Shorts
was sent out to Canada in the latter part
of 1894 by his parents from Waterford.
Ireland, with the hope that he would
settle down to some business for which
he was suited After spending some
time in Montreal he obtained position
in the Montreal cotton mills at Valley
field, Quebec. Here he was found to be
of little use and had frequent disagree
ments with the manager, which finally
ended in his severing his connection with
the company. On the night of the first
of March he entered the Office of the
mills, ostensibly to pay visit to his for
mer co-laborers, but in reality, 1t seems,
to possess himself of some $15, 900 In sill
yer and bank notes which he knew would
be there, as it was the night the pay roll
30 lsn IL n,,A 4
for the hands of the mills. AS he en-
tered there were present John Lowe,
paymaster; John 10y, son of the mayor
of Valelyfield; Arthur lie Bouef and
Hugh Wilson, all employees of the mill.
10y had revolver lying next to him on
the desk, and Shorts, who always had n
craze for revolvers, took 1t up and while
playing with shot Wilson, apparently by
accident. 10y rushed to the telephone
to call for medical help, but before he
could ring the bell Shorts had shot him
dead. lie Bouef and Lowe then grabbed
the money and shut themselves in the
safe while Shorts fred several more bull
let's at Wilson, who finally managed to
escape and hide. In the meantime one
of the Waterman of the mill, Maxine
LIE Bouef, had come to the Office on his
regular rounds and was shot and killed
also. After that Shorts made frantic
eHOrIS 10 get LOWE to open lne uooI VI
the vault and finally, after Wilson had
managed to crawl outside and get help
he surrendered himself.
Friends of his parents, who are very
wealthy, Immediately obtained the very
best criminal counsel and no money was
spared to save him on the plea of in
sanity. A determined but unsuccessful
attempt was made to lynch him at Val
leyfeld and for that reason he was
brought to Montreal for safe keeping.
Shorts is only 25 years old and does
not show the slightest feeling for what
he has done.
