man told OF the Incident. He had been
IN Chicago with his uncle for a week;
he had fallen of the roof OF a barn; he
had been on n Jury In n lawsuit; he had
been robbed by n man ON the highway.
All these things were told over without
a mistake. together with hundreds Of
other Incidents. II was n public inves-
tlgatlon. with everybody free to ask
questions, and Il lasted four days.
Thcrc were still some who carped after
Il was closed. but there was n complete
change % popular opinion. and Jared
Burton was compllmented on oil sides.
The mother and sister fully accepted
him. ard he settled down into his place
unoucstioncd. Three months had gone
by, aud the talk aud wonder had all
died out when a blind man came along
one day. He was known In various vii
lagos rs "Old Hanson" He sang
songs, told fortunes and performed
tricks and was well liked. Standing on
the public square with n crowd around
him, he sang songs and then asked If
Jared Burton was among the specta-
tors. Jared stepped forward, and the
old man took him by the hand. IL was
his boast that, having once heard a
mans voice and shaken hands with
him. he could forever after identify
him by the Feel OF his palm.
'Thls Is not Jared Burtonr' he ex-
claimed rs he Lot the hand fall.
"But Il Is" chorused a dozen voices.
"But | say It is not. It Is not his
hand. mover mot this hand before"
"You will believe It is Jarrd Burton
when I tell you so, won't your asked
Jared.
"No. You cannot deceive me on the
palm. You are n stranger TO mo"
There had been an investigation and
an acquittal. but yet the blind mans
words set people to thinking. especially
as Jared himself seemed TO be greatly
put out. The whole question would
have been reopencd again but that he
started on for Chicago next day on
what he claimed was a matter of busl-
ness. Tie had n close shave OF It. He
hadn't bSci gone two hours when a
sheriff from a distant county camo to
arrest him as one Of n gang OF land
stcnlers and counterfeitcrs. He was
followed. but not ovcrhauled. His real
name was Charles Wright. As to what
bcrnmc or the true Jared Burton no one
Gun say, hut be Doubtless mot his death
In some way through falling into tho
hands Of the gang. lie had papers
with him, but how they got him TO talk
and give the incidents Of his life can
not be understood. II was q curious
thing that another man should so close
~ resemble him and should bear tho
same scars. hut 1t was a fact not to be
got over. Tho blind man and the sher-
in declared tir mar to be n cheeky i'm
postor. and the latter furnished plenty
OF proofs. hut the question has not been
settled yet and perhaps never will be.
l passed a day in the village not long
ago, ana found the people about even
ly divided as to whether the true Jared
had not actually returned and been
driven OF again.

German Coast. Said to be Sinking.

The much-discussed question whether
the coast of the North Sea is in a per-
petual state of rising or sinking has
just been answered in the latter sense,
at least so far as Germany is concerned.
The latest levels taken in the district
near Hamburg have aroused the keen
est interest of biologists and topog-
raphers, as in large number of cases
they differ from the accurate record of
levels made so years ago. The differ
ence is sometimes as much as several
yards, one of the most remarkable cases
being that of the Wilseder Hill, trig-
onometrical station of the first class.
The measurements here were accurate
ly computed so years ago, and the elava-
ton was then found to be III yards. At
present it is only 1925 yards above sea
level
