Into Miss Nicholsons voice there had suddenly come an earnest note. They plead with her. or sighed before her; treated before their advance. Then Mir. Brewster Barfinger came into her life.

 He thought--" the man interrupted.

l. U. BUkWELL
 IS CAPTURED Escaped from County. Jail
 Tuesday. CAUGHT AT CYPRESS POND He. Had Been Hiding in the
 Woods. Charges of swindling are Filing up Against Him-Arrested by Robert Burroughs-Is Now
 Locked in Cell.

: Thomas O. Burwell, the alleged confi- dence man who is wanted in so many cities for shady dealings and who made his escape from the county jail Tuesday afternoon. was recaptured yesterday morning.
 Burwelfs spell of liberty was. short one. Being given the run of the office Tuesday, he seized favorable oppor- tunity and slipped out a side window to a small plot of ground and then climbed an iron fence to freedom Burweil, or gaining his liberty left the heart of the in the woods In the neighborhood of Cy- press Pond and the city pasture lie was captured this morning when ne started out of the woods to store to get something to eat , well was gone Sheriff Waller and his deputies rode all over town leaving de- scriptions of the escaped prisoner at all suburban stores and saloons. This pre-. caution, coupled with the reward of Slo that the Sheriff offered for his capture, was responsible for Burwelfs being brought back to jail.
 This morning as Burwell approached Pugh's store on the Lower Wetumpka road he was recognized by the proprietor as being probably the missing prisoner. Robert Burroughs was out in the mel gh- borhood with an eye open for the miss ing man and he was told Of the man s coming out of the woods. Mir. Burroughs met Burwell at the gate of the city pas- ture and arrested him. The jail officials were notified and Deputy Sheriff Boiling Young went out and brought him back 10 the jail.
 Burwell. since his return to the jail: is by no means allowed the privileges that he abused in making his escape. He is confined closely but to all callers he calmly expresses the confidence that his |, troubles are not of much importance and that they will soon blow over.
 In spite of this the charges against the prisoner pile up. A bench warrant from Clay County, Mississippi, calling for Bur wells arrest on the charge of obtaining money under false pretences was received yesterday. This is the third warrant for him that has been sent to the Jail. The first is the Montgomery warrant undec which he was arrested and which charges him with defrauding Captain E. w. Book CT of S25. The second warrant is from taining a similar amount from c. B. Ashe The Mississippi warrant was re- ceived yesterday from Woodlawn. where it had been sest in the hope that Bur we'll would be caught there.
 Burwells scheme. which he practiced successfully, was to represent himself as railroad man. After gaining the con- fidence of his acquaintances with his engratia ting ways he would inveigle them into cashing worthless drafts.

THE SHORT STORY.

Harpers Magazine.
 { The aim of this kind of magazines be- comes ever more and more distinct from that of the book, he says, and the time will come when the serial publication in 1t of fiction or of history will be an exceptional thing. We are confident that even the conventional short story--that elaborate structure formerly deemed nee essary-will disappear from it's contents, its place being taken by the vivid. sug gestive sketch. with an even stronger ap- peal to the normal emotional sensbility. What used to be known as the article has already been transformed to use ] George Eliots pregnant phrase. from a diagram into a picture. The essay as We are using 1t in thees pages. Is not the formal and extended treatment of d subject, but an expression of some phase of thought concerning an interesting theme that. limited as it may seem. has through it's suggestiveness an infinite ex- parsion.
 The briefer the contributions to the magazine the greater it's variety. But brevity should not be sought at the sacs rifice of herary art. The brief sketch or essay or story should not be a frag- ment Brevity is comparative; twenty pages may he short, and a single page tediouslv long. The artistic requirement. Is the economy; there must be no waste.
