which Is locked Doyle's correspondence,
and those trinkets and mementos he
keeps with him. He has scores of
cards of curious visitors, and a foreign
postmarked envelope received the other
day contains a long list of names and
the following on the letterhead of the
American consulate at st. Petersburg:
"A party of Americans in St. Peters
burg read in an American paper an
account of your Incarceration in the
Ell Paso county Jail for contempt of
court, because you refused to surren-
der judgment you held. The Ameri-
can consul general and others of us
rather admire your grit in this case
and we are very anxious to. hear how
your case comes on
Doyle sends as many kilograms to
his friends as he does letters Several
have gone over the ocean, notably one
to Labouchere of London Truth adj
vislng him to be cautious of Portland
in the London market. as he was on
the eve of instituting more suits.
Doyle's trousers cling to the leg with
the stamp of an excellent tailor. His
coat and waistcoat follow the prevail
ing style, and you look around, invol-
UNFAIRLY. for a silk hat. When he is
in the mood he dons a Tuxedo and full
dress just before dinner and stands at
the window watching the equipages on
the broad and fashionable drive. Many
a nod and wave of the hand does he
receive, and his bows and smiles are
almost continuous. Doyle looks par
ticularly well in full dress, the high
collar and the immaculate wilderness of
his shirt throwing into strong relief his
somewhat sallow face, blue eyes, and
thick head of very black hair.
One of the most solacing friendships
that this almost misanthropic million
aire has formed is with Philip j. Loner-
gan, the author of 1.-The Vassal States
of America and Their Masters book
devoted to the social problems of the
day and the injustice and wrong per-
petrated under the guise of the law
Lonergan is visitor in Colorado
Springs from Milwaukee. To him Doyle
appears in the light of a martyr, and is
most interesting subject of study.
Scarcely day passes but the socialist
student-if he can be called such-and
the millionaire, whose boast is that he
is enduring imprisonment and persecu-
ton for principle, have long talks in
the office of the jail.
THAT man is a martyr whose prece-
dent will be the text of many a ser
mon in the years to come" sums uA

Sherman Bell, the rough rider"
Stratton, the owner of the recently sold
Independence, and many others whose
names are household words in Ell Paso
county, Colorado, and the state for
that matter, have been frequent callers
at the county Jail. After the old timers.

him, Doyle goes back to his cell, up the
winding steps, and pauses to look out
of narrow little window into the
courtyard of the jail. Here there looms
up gun carriage and a black painted

covetous on a million or more
Il can't get away from the old times"
he says, half plaintively. Everything
reminds me of them"
Jimmy Doyes imprisonment may
wreck his health in time and bring on
grave consequences. But in the strength
of to-day he PAGES up and down his
cell and his voice has a vibrant ring as
he eXclaimS:
They can't break my spirit. And
when / go before the court I will tell
them So I will say that my imprison-
ment is in violation of all law, in vio-
lation of the constitution, and / can
quote Bancrofts history of the United
States to prove it. In some court, in
some state, they'll give me my free
dom and then it'll be the turn of Jimmy
Doyle to show his hand. And he will
do it, never fear."-Chicago Inter
