Mr.. ]. Woodbury. Newcomb had de-
voted his life 10 the science OF Grim
inology and, at the age of fifty years, he
was prepared TO claim leading place
among experts in that important de-
partment of knowledge.
Laboring in a field financially unre-
munerative, he had cheerfully spent his
own snsall income and as much as could
DE gathered from the charitably dis
posed. Many elderly ladies OF means
had, from time 10 time, taken deep IN
erest in Mr.. Newcomb and his work,
and their purses had been at his dis
oosal. Thus he had been able TO travel
extensively in America and Europe, ana
lac had enjoyed the privilege of meeting
some of the most villainous OF mankind.
He had collected vast amount OF testi-.
mony from persons of this character,
and had published several volumes OF
statistical matter which read like the
liveliest romance.
Nature had endowed Mr.. Newcomb
with a personality which admirably
atted him TO secure the confidence OF
men and women in all walks of crime.
His aspect was in the highest degree
benevolent, and il matched the kindness
and simplicity of his nature. He was OF
GOOD height, and dignified carriage. In
dress he affected clerical suggestion,
and he had been accustomed TO wear his
hair rather longer than fashion die
tated, with patriarchal beard behtting
his character. But of late he had en-
tirely changed his habit in this regard.
lie had had his hair cut very short and
had sacrificed his beard, with the ami
able intention of making his appearance
conform more nearly to that of the un-
fortunate men among whom he worked.
Yet his natural appearance obtruded
itself through this disguise. A shrewd
man. looking at him, would have had no
difficulty in mentally replacing the
long, wavy, iron gray locks. and the
venerable beard.
Returning 10 his native land, after n
three years tour abroad, Mr.. New
comb began at once TO revisit the pris-
ons which had been SO interesting to
him. He Investigated once more the
pennl institutions of New England,
completing the work in the spring OF
the year 1896. Passing TO New York
state he devoted some days to the study
of the prison at Sing Sing; and then
he ran upon the adventure which forms
the basis of this narrative.
In the afternoon of pleasant day in
MAY he boarded q train for New York
at the Sing Sing station, and secured a
seat in parlor car. Passing 70 the
smoking compartment, few minutes
after the train started, he found 1t oc-
cupied by three men whose appearance

The game Of billiards as played in Eng
land will, 1t is said, experience some de-
cided changes. There arc certain London
players and critics who say that the push

been leading characteristic of the gamo
played in Great Britain, but it Is no longer
recognized by the critics as u fair stroke
and Is by them unhcstatingly denounced

Tho older English professionals, how

in clothes of dark color, not fashion,
ably designed as were those of Mr.. New
comb, but such as might be worn by
well-to-do merchants from the interior
Of the state, on visit to the metropolis,
Their demeanor also favored the same
hypothesis, for they exhibited the reti-
cence and the caution regarding stran-
gers which are characteristic of a Ger.
tain grade of rusticity.
Mr.. Newcomb's first advances in the
direction of sociability were received
somewhat coldly, and he was subjected
" close scrutiny, from which, how
ever, he did not shrink.

Newcomb, smiling agreeably. 1T is an

9th. Because it will elevate tn
