Maurice Barrymore and some person
with whom he had business dealing
were walking down Fifth avenue to-
gether. They passed a blind man, who
stood with IA Tin cup in his hand and n
sign to explain the situation on his
breast. The man, whom Barrymore was
trying to impress, stopper. With great
deliberation he drew a handful Of silver
from his pocket. After shufiing and
searching it over for some time, he at
last found a nickel, which he dropped
in the tin cup. Then he replaced the
silver in his pocket and slowly buttoned
his coat. Barrymore. who was irritated
at the interruption, said: "Oh. come

him full in the eyes. Barrymore" he

tainly happy, for he didn't hurry his horse
nor spur him when he stumbled. One of
those letters was from Mary Brand. She
wrote she was leaving Bangor for her un-
GEES home In Denver on that day and that
John was not TO come down until Christ
mas eve. because there was much to do
and he would be In the way" The other
letter was from a brother in Denver and
said "Think we have a customer for your
trail cows and have engaged for you TO

when John reached home and turned In,
rejecting upon the futility of all maverick
laws.
Snow was stil falling next day. The
railroad was blockaded and he could not

wires were down so there was no tele-
graphing Christmas was spent in the tel
egrapher's office and for once John looked
as disseminated as the operator The lat
ter took no interest in coloring the new
pipe and wrote out his resignation ready
TO dispatch as soon as the line should be
open, announcing that he was going back
TO Maine by the first train.
One of the first things sent when the
line was open was Johns message TO
Mary Brand at Denver. to the effect that
II the railroad wasn't shoveled out very
soon, he should start down on foot.
That operator was a good boy, and he
sent the message straight and when an
hour later he was called UP by the Denver
office to receive the following message TO
John Thomas about his trail COWS: You

But his heart was full Of Mary Brand.
All day the wires had been singing Mary

II this were not a true story, it might
be written that John went In person ana

really did was to write a note suggesting
the return Of his letters. And Mary be-
ing a black-eyed girl he got them by re-
turn mail.
Mary Brand went home. The ranchman
returned to the winter vocation OF riding
the pastures and waiting for spring. The
operator took an early train down east. II
he ever knew what he had done he kept
his own counsel and renewed his suit.
So Mary married the operator, and be-
ing a black-eyed girl she makes him
good wife.

were better able to judge of the wonderful

by his skill and efficiency, can win the

NABBED A SLICK THIEF.
j. II. Mintz stole "a Drummers VaIise,
But Was Caught with IA Decoy

But Was Caught with DecOy
J. H. Mintz, slick negro thief, who
has been getting in his work here for the
last two or three weeks, was nabbed by
the detectives last night. Mintz's special
ty is stealing valises from railroad trains.
A valise was stolen from one of the trains
about two weeks ago Yesterday morn.
ing Mr.. w. T. Vincent, who travels for
the firm of Meinhard and Appel & Schaul,
went to the Central depot yesterday morn
ing with the intention of taking the train.
He placed his valise in the passenger
coach and then went out to look after
his baggage. When he returned his valse
was missing. Becoming convinced that
the valise had been stolen, he postponed
his trip and reported the loss at the 20,
lice barracks.
Chief McDermott determined to lay
trap for the thief, concluding that as he
had been so successful in the morning he
would doubtless attempt to repeat the per-
Torrance at night. Last night
Detectives Scully and Shea were
at the depot. Policeman Gull
foyle strolled in a little later in
citizens dress, carrying a big valise, which
he deposited on seat in the passenger
coach, leaving Il there while he went
away ostensibly to look after other mat
ters The two detectives remained near
the coach. Presently a nicely dressed ne
gro man came up. Standing at little DIS
lance they heard him offer a negro boy
a quarter to go inside and get valise,
which he described for him. This the
boy agreed TO and did, giving the vallse
TO the negro, who started out of the de-
pot with it. He was stopped, however
by Policeman Gullfoyle, who was prompt
" Joined by the detectives.
When examined at the police barracks
1t was found that Mintz, the name given
by the negro was attired in a suit of Mr.
Vincent's clothes, even to his shoes and
hat, together with Mr.. Vincents umbrella
and when searched the latter's pistol was
found in Mintz's pocket
Niintz said that he was from Whining
ton, ~ c., and that he came here four
or five weeks ago to visit relatives at
Thunderbolt. He was evidently turning
his visit to profitable account. If the cogs
Of justice do not stop, Mintz's stay in
Georgia viii be considerably prolonged.
The valise appropriated by Mintz was
stuffed with paper
