About i:3O o'clock last evening ths' same merchant telephoned the station that the thief had just passed his store on Second street going north. Officers Kinney and Russell responded at once and jumping into the Turks wagon. followed the direction taken by the suspect. and. at the corner of Fourth and Madison streets came up with two men who were arrested with out trouble and placed in the wagon. They then spotted a third man try ing to throw package over a fence not far away. They took him in. too, and the package proved to contain two pairs of pants.
 Nothing else of value was found by searching them except two skeleton keys and a book-in which was recorded keys and a book in which were recorded When arrested the men said they had been selling things around town from their camp. which was somewhere be- tween Phoenix and Tempe.
 MT. Harry Brownstetter of the New York store was sent for and he said the pants had been stolen from the New York store. evidently just before the men passed the Turkish store. The pants had the lot number. cost mark, etc. of the New York store on the ticket which had not been removed, and further MT. Brownstetter recog nized the men as having been in the store about that time of day. They were looking at pile of pants when he approached them and said he was busy but would wait on them in a mo- ment. When the moment was up he noticed that his prospective customers had got tired of waiting and served themselves.

persons did not share the terrified ex-

Gervis himself was petrified. He had
brought all his strength OF will to
bear on nobly doing his duty to the
woman he had won for his wife No

hard the fight had been.
And now 1t was all In vain, for
GLADLY had gone-where, no one knew.
Since the journey on the Canadian

Pacific railway, over the snow-covered
prairies, GLADLY had been a bewilder-
ing puzzle to her husband. Her vagar-
les had made him secretly wonder at
times if he had married a lunatic.
Then again great fear would loom
up that his wife had inherited some
terrible wasting disease, and was about
to slip through his fingers and out of
life itself.
But this catastrophe on Christmas
night eclipsed all that he had even
dreaded
GLADLY gone! She who had been the
merriest, gladdest, happiest of all the

She and Gervis gazed blankly at each

Mexico buys more American books
than does France. and nearly as many
as Germany. Much of this trade is
due to the large resident American
population to be found In Mexican
cities and to the demand from mining
camps, where Americans are living.
and not little is due to the growing
spread of English among the Mexican
people. There Is strong tendency
here in favor of popularizing the Eng
lish language, and the learners OF that
tongue comprise professional men in
middle life as well as thousands OF
youth. Some large institutions Of
learning have put English ahead OF

TOO ExTRAVACANT.
A Defaultine Cashier Ate Han, Boiled In
Champagne.

The manner in which one defaulting
cashier was detected was rather pecul-
lar, says the Louisville Times. 1t was
all due to the curiosity of the women
OF his neighborhood. He went to no
expense in the way of dressing, they
never heard of his gambling or drink
ing to any extent, he was a model hus-
band, but he loved good table. There
was nothing unusual in this, but one
day when the ladies of the vicinity

band dotted on ham, but he would not
eat it unless it had been boiled in

have ham ON our table often If we

indeed, and the men began telling of
his uplifted ideas of cookery. This
soon reached the ears of the directors
of the bank, and they concluded It
might be wise to investigate the &C
counts of such an epicure. Plain wa
ter was all they could afford for their
hams, SO the champagne lover was
called up and subsequently relegated
to the pen. where he had to forego his
pet dish for many. many weary days.
