with them, and apparently did not want
their company. They also set up the
statement that,their own federation
was doing as Comprehensive and far
reaching work among the colored wom-
en- as the white women were doing
among their kind. Mrs. Ruffin retorted
that it was not social Intercourse she
was seeking, but the vindication of the
broad and high principles upon which
the general federation based it's right
to existence.
"Womanhood is the gentler aspect of
lfe,' she contended, "and should not
be prostituted to the baser motives of
society. What is to become of the race
it woman disregards the sacredness of
motherhood and sisterhood? The gen
era. federation must rest it's head upon
the breast of the Mother of Tears or
else go out into the shadows of the
night and die.''

Rutfin was graciously received and en-

LECTURES FOR MINERS.
San Francisco Young Woman Will
Try to Refine the Argonauts at
+ Nome City.

Miss jaime NJ. Long, a resident of San
Francisco and a graduate of the North
western university at Evanston, Chica-
go's northern suburb, proposes to
spend her summer vacation at Cape
Nome and to give series of entertain
ments there of higher order than il
usually known in mining camps. Miss
Long went to the Pacific coast little
over year ago, where she engaged ac-
lively in educational work. Now she
has been invited to the Nome camp by
Capt. and Mrs. Howland, of Oakland,
who have been successful in Alaskan
mining, and she will make her home
with them while in the north. She is
under contract with prominent Bos-
ton magazine to write her impressions
about Nome.
''The Cape Nome camp" said Miss
Long, recently, "has attracted thou
Willmar tribune., 1900-08-29

sands of educated and refined persona
and these will undoubtedly appreciate
the opportunity for entertainment that
is above the plane of the dance hall
and gambling den. I shall offer meth
DDS by which the cultured may obtain
relaxation from the actual mining work
without frequenting the places that
they would not think of visiting at
home.
my attention was recently called by
eastern connections to the fact that in
all Bret Harte's literature about the
mining camps there is no allusion to
any form of entertainment above the
dance hall level. I intend to ascertain
whether the lower forms of amusement
can retain educated patrons, even in
the frontier and mining settlements,
when something is offered that is thor
oughiy entertaining and amusing."
Miss Long will not return to San
Francisco until August or September.

Josephine st. Pierre Ruffin, whose ap-
pHcation for membership was rejected
by the board of the General Fedora
tion of Women at it's recent convention
in Milwaukee, is one of the most nota-
BILE colored women in the country. For
many years she has been a conspicu-
Gus figure in the life and public move
ments of the people in the city of Bos-
ton. She is a native of the American
Athens, and is close to IS years old.
The St. Pierres have been well-to-do
colored people in Massachusetts, for
nearly 200 years, the original stock
coming from Martinique, in the French
West Indies. Mrs. Ruf6n was reared
in home of refinement, culture and
comparative luxury. Her education
was received in the best schools of Bos-
ton; her social intercourse has been
with the gentlest and most thoroughly
genuine of both races who make the

possessed of gift of tact. It is said
that she went to the Milwaukee conven-
ton with distinct notion of placing
the colored women in a new light be-
fore the people of the country. It is a
fact that the more prominent colored
women in the various sections of the
land did not think the game worth the
candle, and attempted to dissuade her
from the course she had decided to pur-
sue. They argued that the General

II am obliged to admit that your con-

luctantly admitted.
Sturgis shrugged his shoulders.
well, call them plausible, and let us
proceed. Chatham kept the appoint
ment yesterday; but for some reason
Arbogast was delayed in leaving the
bank. Perhaps the necessary prepara-
tions for his flight took longer than he
expected"
You think he intended to abscond?"
"Why should he have changed the
combination of his safe, as he did, if not
to give himself as much time as possible
to reach place of comparative safety
before the books could be examined?''
asked Sturgis. ''Chatham, becoming
impatient, forgot the dictates of pru-
dence and started for the bank to as
certain the cause of his accomplice's
delay. He met Arbogast at the Wall
street door. The two men reentered,
Arbogast setting down his satchel in
the vestibule and leaving the outer
door ajar, as Quinlan found it few
minutes later, when he stole the satch-
ell. I have every reason to believe that
it was at Chatham's request that the
men returned. He wished to use the

CHAPTER X.-CoNT1NUED,

When the reporter came within sight
of the safe, Dunlap was closely inspect
ing the lock. Presently he uttered an
exclamation of SURPRISE.
What is it?' asked Sturgis.
II don't understand it," said Dunlap.
II cannot open the safe. The lock
seems all right; but
"Perhaps the combination has been
changed"
apparently it has," admitted the
banker; "but howcame it to be changed
on week day, and without my knowl-
edge?"
'That is rather significant, isn't it p
suggested the reporter.
"Signifcant? What do you mean?''
exclaimed Dunlap, excitedly.
II mean that Arbogast was a de-
faulter. What his system of defraud-
ing the bank was do not yet know;
but an examination of the books will
no doubt reveal this; and should ad-
wise you, Mr.. Dunlap, to lose no time
in having it made.'
''But," argued Dunlap, anxiously. II
tell you the books were examined last
week."
''Yes; by Arbogast's accomplice."
"What, Chatham his accomplice %

Chatham was in the plot beyond a
doubt" answered Sturgis. $50 long as
no one had access to the books except

day, the announcement was made that
after the beginning of the new year his
books would pass to the custody of an
other man, he saw that the game was
up.'
The men had returned to the presi-
ident's Office.
''Those are his very Words" contin-
ued the reporter; "thosehe telegraphed
to Chatham yesterday, as you will see
if you hold before that mirror this
sheet of blotting paper which found
on Arbogast's DESK"
the blotting paper; and, holding it be-
fore the glass, studied the reflection
iniently.
''What do you make out?" asked
Sturgis.
Nothing whatever" replied the
banker, promptly.
''What?" exclaimed the reporter;
do you mean to say that you do not
distinguish any marks on the blotting
paper?"
II mean to say that do not see any
thing to which can attach any SEM
blance of meaning. The blotting pa
per has been used, and, of course,
there are ink marks upon it; but, as
far as I can see, these are wholly dis
connected. They are entirely void of
sense to ny eyes, at any rate"
Examine the blotter again careful
ly in this direction" said Sturgis,
drawing an imaginary line upon the
mirror, "and pay no attention to any
other marks which seem to cross these
lines. Now do you see anything?"
The banker examined the image in
the mirror for some time before reply
ing. ~.- ,.'~.~ -;
IF allow my Imagination to enter
into play, can complete several iso-
lated letters.''
"Will you dictate these while I note
them here. Be careful to distinguish
between capital and lower-case letters.
Also separate the lines, and state
whether letters come close together
or are separated by space"
"Very WE'LL" agreed Dunlap, who
then proceeded to read off the letters
he saw in the reflection of the blotter
in the mirror.
When he had finished, Sturgis hand
ed him the paper, upon which were
Transcribed the letters he had dictated.
They presented the appearance shown
below:
