again, and by a quick computation
found it still $2500 short. Berybud was
with him all this time. sThe inspector
looked up at him inquiringly. Berry
bud softly whispered:
"Come into my private Office"
The two men walked in, and Berry
bud shut the door and gently locked
it. He took chair and sat down in
front of the inspector. Then he said:
II knew this had to come out. I
can't make the money good. l took
it. Just get me out of town without
the family knowing until I'm gone
what's up. You can see my bondsmen
later"
The man was so self-possessed, so
unmoved, that the inspector looked at
him in amazement. But that feeling
changed to another when he saw slow
ly stealing out of one of Berybud's
eyes tear and his lips were quivering.
"Old man." said the inspector with
a tenderness he never had shown 4
culprit before, there's something
wrong here. You haven't told me all.
Come, now, l have to do my duty, but
you are holding back something"
Il took the money" repeated Berry
bud.
But why? You are rich-you had
no need for it. You are not telling
me the truth"
81 took the money" was the only re-
ply. And Jacob Berybud held to that
through all the days of his disgrace,
during his short trial and until the
gan to serve his sentence. Sloan be-
lieved him, although it could not ex-
plain why he took the money. His
bondsmen believed him; his children
believed him and turned their faces
from him. AS for his wife
Long after Jacob Berybud was freed
from prison and had taken up life
alone in a town far removed from ST.
loan and the family, which, wife and
all, had refused to receive him again,
he met by chance his old friend, the
inspector, and they clasped hands.
"Berybud," said the inspector, II
know now that your wife took that
money, lHdC you were d poor Hail tleH
and she was forcing you to live far be-
yond your means. She entered that
office nights, and you suspected her If
you did not know that she was guilty.
She robbed the till and the old safe,
and you made good the shortages until
finally you were forced to try and de-
ceive me. She spent every dollar on
herself and her favorite children and
let you face me and the government,
She never loved you and your married
life was worse than purgatory."
Perhaps" said Jacob Berybud, look

Thrown From His Cab and Killed

The following is most interesting and in
one respect, pathetic tale:-
Mr.. j. Pope, AZ Ferrar Road, Streatham,
England, said:
Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead-horse
Polted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was
driving and killed-poor chap, and good
sort too, mate. 1t was him, you see, who gave
me the half-bottle of st. Jacobs Oil that made
Q new man of me. Twas like this me and
Bowman were great friends. Some GENTLE
man had given him bottle of st. Jacobs Oil
which had done him a lot of good he onlv
used half the bottle, and remembering that
had been martyr to rheumatism and sciatica
for years, that 1 had literally tried every
thing, had doctors, and all without benefit, I
became discouraged, and looked upon it that
there was no help for me. Well,' says Pope
You may not believe me, for it is miracle,
but before l had used the contents of the
half-bottle of St. Jacobs Oil which poor Bow
man gave me- was a well man. There 1t is,
you see, after years of pain after using reme-
ules, oils, embrocations, horse liniments, and
spent money on doctors without getting any
better, was completely cured in few days.

might come back, but it did not, SO gave the

Bulldog and Horse in a F,pht

A herce battle was waged on Sunny
Slope avenue between an imported
bulldog and a dapple-gray delivery
horse, driven by feed merchant. The
merchant went out with a load of
feed. After unloading he was lifting
the wagon round to get out of cramped
quarters when the bulldog came up.
Ihe dog was friendly with the man
and then passed on to the horse. The
horse kicked at the dog, and In lesx
than no time sanguinary fight was
In progress. The horse was hampered
with harness and wagon shafts, but
used its front and hind legs with tell
ing effect. Time and again the dog
was hurled for several feet by terrific
kicks from the horse. but each time
the dog came back to renew the bat
tie. The dog direct it's whole attack
at the legs of the horse.
The driver was trying to hold the
frenzied horse by the head and could
90 nothing to get the horse or the dog
out of danger. Blood was streaming
from dozens Of wounds in the legs of
the horse, and the dog was continuing
the fight with three broken ribs, a
broken paw and one eye nearly out of
It's socket, when some men on the
street ran to the rescue and by main
force pulled the infuriated dog away
from the horse. Both animals are so
badly hurt that they may die, blood
poisoning being likely. The dog was
sent here from San Francisco a few
days ago to be taken care of. - San

Wrapper With Square Yoke.

No wrapper ever devised is more
comfortable and satisfactory for neg
ligee wear than the simple Mother
Hubbard. The admirable May Man
ton model shown in the double column
drawing is made in that style, but is
vastly improved and added to by the
circular bertha that outlines the yoke.
The original is made Of cashmere, in
deep garnet with dots of black, and
is trimmed with a narrow black velvet
ribbon and worn with girdle of wider
velvet; but henrietta, albatross, French
and Scotch flannels, and the still sim
pier fiannelettes are all suitable.
The model is made over a fitted
lining which extends to the waist and
onto which the yoke portions are
faced; but when preferred the yoke
only can be used and the wrapper
allowed to fall from it's edge. The
lining is fitted with single darts and
includes under-arm cores, which rem
der it comfortably snug, and curves
in to the figure. The wrapper consists
of fronts, back and under-arm cores,
and is gathered at the upper edge,
where it is joined to the yoke. The
sleeves are in bishop style, with be-
coming frills at the hands, and the
neck is finished with deep turnover
collar. The bertha, which is optional,
is circular and takes graceful, undulat-
ing folds. The lower edge of the skirt
Is trimmed with a straight gathered
flounce nine inches deep, but the trim
ming may be varied or the lower edge
simply hemmed.
To cut this wrapper, without flounce,
for woman of medium size, nine and
one-half yards of material twenty
seven inches wide. eight yards thirty
inches wide, or six yards forty-four
inches wide will be required.

HER ATTRACTION FOR GOLD.
"A Curious Story Told by a Scientific Man
of II Little Girl in Haiti.

A Curious Story Told by a Scientific Man
of II Little Girl in Haiti.
A critic, writing of new book, the
other day, objected to the statement
in a chapter on the precious metals
that Gold is one of the few metals
that is often found pure" He said
that the author, in making this state
ment, was certainly mistaken. OF
course, the author was not mistaken;
and it was curious birnder for any
one to make to deny t.,at pure gold is
pieces, in narrow beds of mountain
streams, in fine sands at the mouths
of rivers, in the sands of the seashore
and even in places high up on the sides
of mountains. While this statement
is perfectly true it is also fact that
most gold is found alloyed with other
metals and that ore crushing, smelling
and other processes are required to
obtain the more valuable metal
A story has Just been told about
pure gold, found in this instance in
river sands, that reads like one of the
superb fictions. No one would give
it the slightest creuence if it were not
told by a scientific man of unques-
tionable authority, for it is one of
the strangest narratives that ever
adorned a very dry and thoroughly
scientific piece of writing.
1t comes from the pen of Mr.. L..
Gentil Tippenhauer, who has been
making q oaolopicaI ;pvoct;ra+;o, for
the government of the island of Hayti.
The results of his work, with maps,
have been published in a series of pa
pers in Petermanns Mittellungen, one
of the most scientific of German pub
lications. The following is a transla-
ton of the story as it appears at the
end of Mr. Tippenhauer' papers.
81 will make mention, in conclusion,
of very peculiar phenomenon. AS l
was engaged in a microscopic inves-
tigation of the goldbearing river sands
l observed that the 1-year-old daugh-
ter of my companion, Mr.. l.. Aboilard.
had only to lay the fiat of her hand on
the sands and particles of gold dust
would adhere to it. Every time she
repeated the action her palm was al.
most covered with the gold dust that
continued to cling to it. Whenever
she grasped handful of sand she
would shake her hand; the sand would
fall to the ground, but the flakes of
gold would remain clinging to the
hand.
mo other person present possessed
this peculiar ability. Since then all
the educated Europeans in Jacmel, in
Guiding DR.. Zerves, geologist and rep
resentative of the Standard Oil COM
pany, Mr. Roosmale Nepven and Mr..
Dorm, Dutchmen, owners of the gold
reduction works at Paramaribo and
others, have borne witness to the fact
that the young girl possesses this re-
markable popularity. The numberless
particles of iron mixed in the sand did
not cling to the girls hand.
II must therefore come to the con-
clusion that there is in nature a power
whose influence in attracting gold Is
similar to that which magnetism ex-
erts upon iron and the related miner
ais The daughter of Mr.. AboilarG
seems to have this power"
