who had not a single recommendation"

man; he has a great many. He wiped
his feet when he came i'm and closed
the door after him. showing that he
was careful. He gave his seat instantly
questions promptly. showing hat he
was thoughtful. lie took off his cap
when he came in and answered my
questions promptly. showing that he
was gentlemanly.
He had picked up the book which |
had purposely laid on the floor and re-
placed ii pom the table. and ne waited
quietly for his turn. instead of pushing
and crowding, showing that he was
honorable and orderly. When | talked
TO him / noticed that his clothes were
brushed, his hair in order; when he
wrote his name | noticed that his finger
nails were clean.
Don't you call those things letters of
recommendation? | do: and would
give more for what | can tell about a
boy by using my eyes 10 minutes than
all the letters he can bring melon

From h Chicago Chronicle.

he murmured in a d%eprecating tone:
Gould you give me a little assistance"
The stranger turned and looked him
over. His eyes We're bloodshot, his
clothes dirty, his whole appearance de-
cidedly the worse for wear.

stranger.
Il can keep books. sell goods. drive a
delivery wagon. compound prescrlp-

and ! think ii viii get you work. Take
that dollar, get a bath. a shave. a hair
cut. something TO eat and a drink Of
whlskey. That will brace you TO meet

There's just one thing more said

after a few c~ogitation, in
which she took in the generals whole

must be another meaning to the term

ANOTHER LINK FORGED
Sheridan's Pawn Tickets Secured
in Anaconda.
A DIAMOND RING FOUND
Il Yves Identified by Charles F. God
dard - Stella Young Rearrested.
Supposed to Know Something
About Horton.

Detective Jerry Murphy returned
yesterday from Anaconda, where he
went the day before on business in
connection with the arrest for burg
larry Of the three race followers, Sheri-
dan. Williams and Cohen.
In Anaconda Detective Murphy found
a cigar case containing two pawn tick
cts. which Sheridan had left with an
acquaintance for safe keeping. The
tickets called for a diamond pin and a
diamond ring. which had beer pawned
at Blumpkin's pawn shop in this city.
The pin. Blumpkin said. had been
pawned by a woman of Butte a year
ago. but the ring was pawned by
Sheridan and was believed TO be stolen
property.
Detective Murphy took possession of
the ring and later in the day IL was
identified by Charles +. Goddard as n
he had purchased for his wife.
Stella Young. the woman against
whom a charge of petit larceny was
dismissed yesterday by Justice Lau-
randeau and h was previously X
into custody in connection with Sheri-
dan ct al. was again arrested last
evening. the police having obtained in
formation to the effect hat the $500
watch stolen from Jerry Mullins some
time ago was i'm her possession. Bert
marlborough. who got himself into
trouble by selling some silverware for
Mrs. Young. told the police Mrs. Young
showed him the watch Monday even
ing. She was alleged to have said:
This is the watch the police are look
ing for. but they won't get it,"
Mrs. Young admits having lived with
Horton. who is badly wante by the po-
lice, as he is believed To be the ring
leader of the gang of burglars. At the
time Sheridan and his pals were arrest
ed. Mrs. Young admitted having seen
Horton have the watch and gave a very
accurate description of II, but denied
that she knew where IT was. Mrs.
Young assumed an air of innocence
when suspicion was first directed to-
ward her and claimed to be a victim Of
circumstances. She affected to be NIX
ious to do all she could to assist the
police and went to Anaconda with De-
tective Murphy to help find Horton,
who was supposed TO be there, but the
police are now convinced she has been
skillfully pulling the wool over their
eyes n think she knows more about
Horizons whereabouts and his opera
tons than she is willing to reveal. She
will now be held like the rest of the
suspects till the matter is cleared up
and she may be prosecuted with them.
Mrs. Young has hitherto borne a good
reputation. and her being mixed up
with the burglars is a surprise to her
friends.
