THE '.KID."
aandctIed Prisoner Breaks Away q
Save Chiid's Life.

Ii was not a long procession OF .
pleasing one. but it attracted much at.
tention.
There was a policeman in the lead.
Beside him walked a stocky. bull.
neckcd young fellow in a yellowish
suit Of loud plaid. His face was
bloody. and his right wrist encircled
by the bracelet Of the ''twisters'
which shsckled him to his captor.
The face Of the policeman was also
bloody and his clothes were torn. Be-
hind these two walked three other pa
trolmen. each with a handcufrcd pris-
oner.
The "kid" and his gang had been
caught in the act Of robbing a saloon.
and the fight had been lively, al
though short. The prisoners had
been taken to the. detectives office
and photographed and registered for
The rogues' gallery. They were now
on their way to court. and thence. in
all probability. to Jail.
At Broadway there was a jam OF
cars and heavy trucks. and the process
sion had to wait. Nobody has been
able To tell just what happened. but
they all agree as to the essential points.
First, the bystanders saw a streak OF
yellow, which was the hid; then a
streak of blue. which was the police.

twisters from his captor's hand. and

A big bill collector was greatly an.

 Besant did not like to criticize the | work of his contemporaries, but he was
 not afraid of talking about his own friends or the partnership with his
 lamented collabOrator, James Rice, who died early in 1882, and in conjunction with whom the early novels of Besant
 were written. The partnership be- tween these two men was more than
 that of business nature. They were very warD'iy attached to each othe. One. MT Besant, was the writer of
 he firm, and the other Rice, was very prolific in ideas and clever in concoc- tion in the arrangement of plots. Rec was also the more skillfu and level headed business man of the two It
 was ha who made arrangements for She sale of the books produced by the firm He wrote some. but not nearly SO much as his partner. All this happened, of course. before Besant had become pop- uiar, and publishers were nor then struggling for the honor of publishing the stories of these men. Rice with his superb business ability, perhaps did more than Basant in disposing of their literary wares and making the firm fa- nous. The firm was in many ways a highly successful one and nobody re- gretted more than Beaant the death of Rice.
 Of his late partner Besant spoke freely and feelingly "Our partnership extended over period of ten years" said he, and l am sure that nothing but death could have terminated 1t. Through it all we had no difference oc opinion. We were always in accord. He was singularly attractive man personally, and our partnership was a very successful one"
 All your books prior to All Sorts and Conditions of Men were written in conjunction with Mir. Rice. were they not?" was asked.
 Yes and mo-" was the answer. "You see. MT. Rice had something to do with All Sorts and Conditions of Men and with at least two other books that Were published after hia death. Mir. Rice was taken i'll in January, 1881, and died in April, 1882"

SIR WALTER BEs,ANT DEAD.
Pneumonia Brought the End to thC
 English Novelist.

Sir Walter Besant, the novelist, died June 10 at his residence in Hampstead
 after two weeks illnesa from influenza Besant's best known book-''All Sorts and Conditions of Men"-bore practical fruit in the establishment of the Peo- ple's palace in London. Sir Walter was born at Portsmouth in 1S3S, and educated in Kings college and Christs college. Cambridge. He contemplated career in the church, but abandoned that intention to accept professorship at Mauritius. He was head of the Royal college for seven years, but. the climate was unsuitable for him and he returned to England. His first bool; was issued In 1S5S-"5tudies in Early French Poetry" In 1873 appeared French Humorists." Tn 1877 Rake lais," and in 1879 "Coligny." In 1895 he was knighted. His collaboration with James Rice began in 1871, and Ready Money Mortiboy" was the first result. MT. James Rice died in 1881, and after then MT. Besant wrote "All Sorts and Conditions of Men," Dor othy Foster, a Tale of the Days of the Pretender.' "The Rebel Queen" and others. The Children of Cibeon" re- lates especially to the life of the poor in London.
 There were two Walter Besants. One vas the author who was seen at his best in his delightful stories, and again at the headquarters of the Incorpo- rated Society of Authors, of which he inc mainStaV itu No 4 Portugal street. Lincoln's Inn--a place where he might be found two days Of each week, on Mondays and Fridays, up to his elbows in work, attending 10 the affairs of the society. This society was fad of Besant and he did as much, If not more. to help struggling authors than any writer in England. His light for the copyright law win be remembered. He was never too busy to make suggestions to beginners or to help those who were not able to help themselves Besides, he edited the Author, and In this periodical he was ever fighting the battle of his fellow writers. And while he fought these many battles he came to be liked by those who knew him personally, for he was fair. manly fighter. Not only was he ready to back up his opinion in defense of writers, but again and again he raised his voice ar public meetings and at banquets of literary men in de- fense of struggling genius. While mt an orator In the sense that we unde. stand oratory. he was a good speaker and his words were always listened to with attention.
 The other Besant was seen in his home at Hampstead, where he Tad a library second to no private library in London. He was persistent and judi cious book collector and all the pIbl;- cations of value treating of the old and new London he had acquired. This collection covered every phase of the history of the English metropolis and no man in London was better informed than Besant of the rise and progress of the great city on the Thames. His articles on old Loncon, which were printed in America, show careful and conscientious study and wide range of information. besides having been writ
