Evidently Stats took some Of the
stolen articles home, kept them there
for q time, and then placed them in
the trunks and boxes in the store room

Stats to the chief Of police Is plainly

Stats airily says that the tools found

about the choral Is denied by the doc

TENDS A DYING PARENT.

Devoted Sacrifice 4 Miss r ia h.rpy
Of New York.
Isolated from the world. with all ity
comforts and pleasures, and living from
day to day in rude hut on the sand
dunes Of Staten Island. Edith Kenny
spends her days ministering to the
wants of her dying father. Ill-hea!th
has made hermit Of Rev. James e.
Kenny and relegated his devoted
daughter to a lonely life on the bleak
sands at the western end of the island
For years the father and loving daugh-
ter have dwelt there. The aged cler-
gyman could not live anywhere else.
and his only child devotes her life to
his care. Her single thought is that
happiness may attend the declining
years of her unfortunate father, who
spent fortune travelling over tho
world in search of health. The couple
possess little beyond the home built
by the invalid. but they are contente1
and happy among the swamps and
hills of yellow sand.
Twelve years or more the old man
toiled on the little structure Of brick
and cement which they call home. It is
not yet completed, but the place is
comfortable, and Mr.. Kenny can
breathe there. He is troubled with
asthma, and the damp salt air Of the
marshes prolongs his life. Sometimes
the old man is troubled with his heart.
These attacks generally come on in
the night, and Edith, the daughter,
hastens alone through the swamps to
fetch the doctor. But the brave girl is
not afraid. Her only fear is the
thought of leaving the invalid alone.
The nearest physician is at Mariners
harbor, two and one-half miles away.
The road through the swamps is dark
and treacherous, and at one place Miss
Kenny climbs a ladder to high rail-
road trestle, nearly mile in length.
Many man would lack the nerve to
make this trip, but the girl speeds
along the ties with never a mishap
And, after notifying the doctor, 80

HENRY SHAFTS.
Hotel Normandie as assistant mana
ger. Leaving on his own account he
went to the Sturtevant. where he re-
NAMED for about four years. He has
held responsible positions in other
large hotels. He has. been assistant
manager Of the Waldorf for about two
years. Careful search was made of the
four trunks and sixteen large boxes
placed in the storeroom of the Hotel
Waldorf by Stats. By taking bun
dies to this storeroom Stats was first
suspicioned of theft by the detectives,
who, disguised as workmen, were sta
toned in the hotel after the theft of a
rug valued at $4,000 from the Marie
Antoinette room and reported to the
police. In these trunks were found
quantities of tablecloths, napkins, tow
els, sheets, knives, forks, spoons, can
'dlesticks, tureens, cake dishes, ladies',
pitchers and jugs, the linen and the
isilverware used in a hotel. and also
several rugs, among them a rare Per-
sian fabric valued at 5000. There were,
moreover, call bells, bath mats, pic
lures and small ornaments. in all an
equipment sufficient for hotel Of con-
siderable size and importance. Most
of these articles were marked with
wv" in wreath. showing that they
are the property of the Hotel Waldorf,
but some have the marking of other
hotels. The mystery Of the true char
acter Of this man Stats gains compli-
cation by careful inspection Of his lit
tie room. In the walls are nail holes,
so many that they are not readily
counted. People in the house frc-
quently heard him hammering. He
drove nails and drew them, as he stole
things and stored them, and apparently
to no more useful employment. But
the nail holes are no less applicable
than the collection Of burglars imple-
ments and bottle Of lethal poison
found in a drawer Of his bureau. A
paper found In the room may lead to
the detection Of theft more extraOr-
binary even than others already de-
scribed. This paper is in receipt for
furniture stored. From the Waldorf
some of the leather covered furniture
Is missing. Stats may have taken
even chairs and touches to crafty his
infatuation for the property Of his emf
ployer. The information gained up to
this time fails to show that Stats
made any use of the stolen property.
None was sold nor pawned. Some
times the little room was decorated
with bric-a-brac, that remained for a
short time, and then was taken away

is the fantastic personality in the great
company of thieves, the man who stole
merely to have the pleasure of stealing.
His knitting is his incidental pastlme,

tween thefts, a sort of mechanical BRO
mide that gives ease to a mind tortur-

ceases to amuse him, he embroiders or
makes lace. This man who steals and
knits and makes embroidery, is intellI-

a strict director Of men, Is economical

dy of countenance, of course courteous
in address, or else he could not be the
assistant manager of the Hotel wal
dorf. He is married, and until discov-
cred to be a thief was deemed an ex-
emplary man, devoted in his attention
to the business whence he gained his
salary. In his thefts he showed no
partiality. He took silverware. rugs,
paintings, napery, even slippers. None
of these articles he used. He stole them
and stored them, as though the knowl-
edge of their possession was sufficient
satisfaction for the pursuit Of his ma
lignant inclinations. Many of the
stolen articles were stored right in the
Hotel Waldorf, where he was employed,
locked up in trunks, which he dared
open but seldom. Other articles were
in his little bedroom, a room for which
he paid rental of Sc month. Pa
irons of the Waldorf who pay $l25

be astounded to learn that room may
be hired in New York for So month,

price was inhabited by the man to

sumptuous drawing rooms and cham
bers. Confessing his guilt, he sits in
