The papers are telling the story of Lon don messenger boy whom Richard Hard ing Davis has just sent to America with messages and gifts for friends in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia It is un- derstood that MT. Davis made a bet at his London club that "Jaggers," who has been his private messenger for some time, could deliver the three messages and return by the same steamer ahead of the regular mails. "Jaggers'' arrived as a second cabin passenger on the St. Louis Saturday with letters and small parcels for three ad- dresses. The New York letter was deliver ed on Saturday, while Jaggers was waiting for his train for Chicago. The Philadelphia message will be delivered on his way back to New York. The Chicago Tribune says:
 With his letters and parcels strapped in his leather case and his round cap stuck on one side of his head and strapped tight under his chin, Jaggers created as much excitement on the Indiana avenue and Van Buren street trolley cars as regiment coming back from Cuba. But he paid no more attention to the crowd than an ord1- nary Chicago district messenger would who had been sent from the Masonic Tenn pie to Burlington street.
 The A. D. T. boy who went up the front steps with him tried to reach the doorbell before him, but Jaggers spied the electric button first and gave it push that brought a housemaid to the door in a hurry Jag gers hand went up to his round cap like an English Tommy Atkins. He stepped in- side unstrapped his leather case, took out the letter and small parcel, and handed them over to Miss Clark and her brother. His receipt book came out next. Jaggers put his finger on the two lines and said: "Sign ere, plyse" When this had been done he heaved a business-like sigh Of re- lief.
 'Is there hany iynser, lydie?" Jaggers asked.
 An envelope and a small parcel, addressed to MT Davis, were handed back to Jaggers, and a small purse was put in his hand al the same time Jaggers placed the letter and the parcel in his leather case, which ne carried slung over his shoulder, and put the purse in his trousers pocket. lie was ready to start back to London at once.
