all these years at last am found
out
He made no attempt to deny his
identity aud said that he was willing
to come back. It was a long, weary
five days journey. Lowe handcuffsd
himself to his prisoner and gave him
no opportunity to escape. He arrived
in Kansas City with him Yesterday
forenoon aud turned him over to
Sheriff Woolridge here this evening.
This Soper is a most insignificant
looking villain, and. like Byron .
Corsair, is the mildest manne red
man that ever scuttled ship. He is
under sized, home!y, and the rims
that border his cruel blue eyes are
red. His hair is light and bis mus
tache is red. In the West everyone
called him Sandy. During the trip
he cried at times, but most of the
time was perfectly composed and as
ready to laugh at little things as
anyone. Still he expects to hang.
He says so.
At Kansas City Mason Gardiner
OF Clay county happened to meet
him.
"Hello, Bates; they're bringing
you back, said Gardiner, who has
known Soper from childhood. What
are they going to do with you!"
Hang me, I guess" said Soper.
Il am almost glad I was captured
after all, he said on the train to day.
ut has been horrible the life have
led When I would shut my eyes at
night I could see the whole scene
acted over again. l thought after
got married l would be happy again,
but it was just the same do not
care for myself. l would just as
soon they would hang me as not,
only know 1t would break my poor
old mothers heart, and would be
hard on nv other relatives"
Soper talks about the probability
OF his being hung with almost as
much unconcern as though he was
talking about stranger. He does
not want to hang, however. Quite
naturally, he is not over anxious to
daugle on rope. He said that be
intended to get lawyer and try in
every way to get off with a life sen
tence.
While Soper talks freely upon al
most every other subject there is
one thing concerning which he will
not say 3 word, that is in regard to
the fate of his 2-year old child,
which he stole from it's mother eight
weeks ago. Nothing has been heard
OF it since he took it away, and it is
almost certain that he killed it He
does not deny that it is dead, but
refuses to make any explanation.
There IL every reason to believe that
these are not all the victims of the
little red-eyed monster.
It 10 almost certain that his first
crime was the murder of bis father
when he was q young man, living
upon the family farm in Clay county.
He and his father quarreled ono day
and that night he was assassiu mated.

the knowledge, that SO many forms Of

WAYS OF AUTHORS.

Sir Walter Besant finds he cannot do
more than 1000 words n day. 1t takes
him ten months to complete long
novel of about 900 words.
Conan Doyle says he thinks from 1900
to 2.0o0 words day is good work. He
never takes more than one contract at
q time and allows himself plenty of ex-
ira time for the "off days" of which
he claims he has more than his right
full share.
Max Pemberton says the idea of do
ing G,000 words n day is perfectly ap-
palling. lie never wrote more than
1000 i'm one day in his life. and re-
GREETED that. Ills average days work
IS four hours, and he may write 500
words in that time.
John Strange Winter says the largest
years work she ever did counted up
$4,000 words. A comfortable years
work is about half that. The largest
days work she ever did wna 1000
wnrtls-of course with the add OF u
stenographer. If in the mood she can
do 1900 or 1000 words day.
Hall Caine says he has never been
able to consider his work in relation to
time and speed. It took him nine
months TO write "The Deemster," but
he had thought about il for year. He
rewrote "The Scapegoat" two or three
times completely. lie is content with
5000 or 5000 words n week.
w. l.. Alden does not work with any
regularity, because he has to spend so
much time cleaning his bicycle. How
ever, he manages to work for an hour
each day on his typewriter, and can
he can do 5000. BEYOND that he does
not go. for the machine refuses to spell

great author, poet and minister to Berlin.
"Cedarcroft'' is conspicuous by its lofty
tower and stands upon high ground one
mile from Kennett Square. Within a stones
throw of the domain of this mansion. at
the end of long lane of tall cedars, is a
two story house with wooden porch and
rustic dooryard, which was the home of
Taylor's childhood. l know it is impos-
sible to find perfection in the human race,
but to my mind one of the saddest things
in the life of him of whom | write is the
fact that he was heavy drinker. The
wine upon his table, the beer and whiskey
consigned to him from Philadelphia and
New York and taken through the town of
Kenneth to ''Cedarcroft' was, l am told,
cause of great concern to his friends and
neighbors. But let us forgive his very
bad fault and remember that he rose from
the humblest walks in life, after brave
struggle, to eminence. The name and
writings of Bayard Taylor will ever claim
respect and appreciation on both sides of
the Atlantic. F. W. GowEN.

Mr.. Hammond says the benefits accru-
ing from this great work would be equal
ly divided between the United States,
Canada and England. The American and
the British governments should, he says,
undertake the work, and its cost would be
comparatively slight. The viaduct would
need to be not over ten miles long, and
less than 200 feet deep. Its foundation
could be built by dumping in the channel
of the strait rocks from the surrounding
shores and then building solid masonary
on top.
The work. says MI. Hammond, could be
finished within one year at cost of about
SO, 900, 600. The benefit to the real estate
of New England and Canada would, it is
claimed, make the sum look insignificant,
and Great Britain would derive valuable
results in quicker transatlantic passage
and increased commerce.
