wounds bespoke its truth, as did also
the damp ground in the alley, which
showed plain signs of a hard struggle.
The missing money amounted to $780,
900, and Mr.. Guilford, the president,
was frantic. AS The hours wore on and
the police appeared to be accomplish
ing nothing, Guilford summoned my
partners and myself to a conference.
Nobody could offer suggestion. All
at once an idea flashed across my mind.
i remembered Daniel Draper and his
singular success in ferreting out the
mystery of Simon Gilbert's will, and it
occurred to me that it might be worth
while to call in this peculiar young
man. With some trepidation, being the
youngest member of the firm, | made
this suggestion. 1t was not received
with much enthusiasm, but Guilford
was ready to grasp at straws, and in
the absence of any other plan asked
me to find Draper, who aspired to be
private detective.
He was the same shock-headed, star
ing-eyed, dull-looking, loosely-dressed
individual | remembered, and insooth
! was somewhat ashamed of him as L
took him into the bank. With a pa
thence and deliberation which amount
ed almost to stupidity, he went over
all the ground we had gone over be-
fore, asked innumerable questions
about all sorts of matters having no
apparent connection with the case,
roamed over the bank in a desultory
manner which made Guilford suspi-
cious that he was looking for chance
to purloin something himself, talked
with everybody in sight, clerks, police
men, watchmen, reporters, bank Off
Gals and doctors, and finally dropped
himself into the alley and got down
on all fours and measured the foot
prints, procured one of Morris shoes.
then the other, and fitted them to
prints in the earth; tried to fit other
shoes to them; went back to the doc
tor who had dressed Morris wounds
and asked him for a minute statement
OF the injuries; went again int the bank
and talked long and earnestly with the
employees; then went to the corner,
bought an apple, returned and sat in
q dark corner of the presidents room
for fully half an hour. Finally he
arose, shuffied over to where | was
talking with the president and said:
''Will you go with me? 1 think you
can help me-"
"Where?" l asked.
"To arrest the thieves" he replied,
mildly tossing the apple core in a spit
toon. at is time to act, and act
promptly, if we wish to save the
money. VIII you come, sir?"
L followed him. Once outside, he
said:

arrest of a certain person from sons

finish our work Else we will miss one
of the birds. Can you arrange it?"

Peculiar Sect of Women.

Among the villagers on the Volga
in the province of Samara a curious
sect of women has made its appear
ance. 1t was originated by an elderly
peasant woman in Soznavo, called the
BLESSED Mother" These women
have fled from the villages around
into remote district, where they
live singly in holes dug out of the
face of the hill. They Lead a life of
fasting and prayer, and believe them
selves called from the world which

STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
SUGAR.

AS a good deal has recently ap-
peared in print regarding the con-
sumption of sugar, and as the i'm
portance of this article as a food, in
which every individual is concerned,
is apparently not sufficiently under
stood, the following facts and figures
furnished to us by the well-known
sugar statisticians, Messrs. Willett
and Gray (91 Wall street, New York;
who are the publishers of the weekly

must necessarily be of great inter

PRINCESS WALDEMAR.
Member of Denmnrk's Royal Family
Who Has Achieved Distinction
as n Sculptor.

The object which attracted the great
est attention at the recent charity ba-
Ear held in Copenhagen was the sculp-
tured hippopotamus, modelled by
Princess Waldemar of Denmark. The
princess, who has long since preferred
the study of art to social festivities,
and who has won no little success as
painter, has now determined to devote
her time almost exclusively to sculp-
ture, step that has won universal APP
probation from the leading art critics
of Denmark.
Princess Marie of Orleans is the wife
of Prince Waldemar, youngest brother

of Queen Alexandra. She is said to be
the most popular woman of the court
of Copenhagen, and is a remarkab BILE
character. Shortly after her marriage
she had an anchor tattooed on her
shapely arm, saying: 81 am Danish
sailors wife, and l want to do just as
the others do
Beside her penchant for sculpture
and sailing, the princess has another
hobby. She is an enthusiastic fire
fighter, and has just been adopted by
the Copenhagen fire department as an
august mascot. Some have gone so far
as to call her the ''fire laddie princess"
and report has it that she does not OBJ
ject to the title.
American society is doubly inter-
ested in Princess Marie just now, be-
cause she and her husband will visit
the United States next January, a COM
pliment paid to this country in return
for the visit of tho United States ship
Hartford, which cruised in Danish
waters last summer.

OUR ANoLoMANlACs
NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
John Hays Hammond Tells London
People that Americans Sym
pathixs with the Beers.

London. April 23.-'.I must advise
you not to pay too much attention to
the extravnGant expression of friend
ship of certain well-meaning but dir
credited classes called in America An
giomaniaes.' These were the keynote
of 4 speech made by John Hays Ham
mond, the American engineer, Inst
night at dinner given In honor Of Mr..
Hnmmond's return to England.
Mr.. Hammond explained the depth
of and reason for American symFnthy
with the Beers and he impressed his
hearers with Great Britain's total lack
Of effort to counteract the prO-Boer
sentiment in the United States. With
equal frankness he urged that Great
Britain be generous In her demands.
your American friends he declared,
most earnestly hope that in arrang-
Ing terms Of peace, wide liberalIty will
be shown to the Beers"
Such a statement coming from ona
who In the same speech referred to his
imprisonment at Pretoria on account Of
his anti-Boer tendencies, produced q
striking effect.
The American Anglophobes came In
for equal criticism with the Anglo
maniacs in Mr.. Hammond's remarks.
Both of these classes" said Mr..
Hammond. ARE the fotsam and Jet
sam of the American population. The
citizens who compose the important
body of our population are the expOn-
ents of Americanism In its highest
form"
The speaker pointed out that Amer
lean impressions of the BOer war were
derived from the emissaries OF the
Beers and the writings and speeches OF
the British pro- Beers, under which cir
cumstances, he said. 1t was not sur.
prisinR that the corrupt Transvaal
oligarchy," Incorporating under the
name of the little sister republic"
had secured the aid and sympathy Of
America. However much We English
and Americans differ from the Beers
politically" he continued. I'VE are COM
PEELED to admire the plucky fight made
by the unfortunate and deluded Beers
now under arms"
Celebrating upon his argument in
favor of securing generous peace
terms. Mr.. Hammond unfavorably
compared Mr.. Kruger's attitude with
General Lees "ChrIstian and patriotic
action" But he warned his hearers to
learn a lesson from another chapter Of
the American Civil War by avoiding
the mistakes of the American states

MISSOURI, PEACH FARM.
Produces MANY Thousands Of Bushels
Annually.

To be convinced that Peach King"
McNalr deserves the title one need
only visit his great farm at st. ElmU
anu take a look at the preparations
that have been made to handle the
peach crop. New buildings have
Deen erected, tents put up and pack
Ing sheds built all over the vast or
chards. At. st. Elmo, two miles be-
low Koshkonong, the headquarters of
Ar. McNair have been established.
This is right In the center Of his i'm
mense orchard of 1900 acres, all plant
ed In peaches. To handle the fruit
Mr.. McNair will need about 800 hands,
ana he will pay Z cents per hour for
men and cents an hour for women,
with their meals and lodgings thrown
H. Superintendent and foremen will
receive more pay. About fifty expert
packers will be imported and they will
see that the peaches are properly
packed.
A large tent around which numer-
GUS small tents are pitched will be the
quarters for the women. A barbed wire
renee sixteen feet high, with the wires
only u few inches apart, has been
erected around the women's quarters.
MIR. McNair certainly isn't going to al
low any love making around his camp.
The men will be quartered In the bar
racks which were used last year and
which have been enlarged. Bunks sew
eral tiers high have been put In the
barracks in order that the men can be
accommodated. A big tent with sew
eral long tables placed inside will he
used as an eating house. Every seat at
each table will be numbered and the
men and women will each have num-
BIER. so that they can find their re-
spective places at the tables. Thirty
cooks will provide the grub" neces-
sary for this large army Of fruit
handlers.
Exactly seventy-hve double-decked
wagons have been provided for hauling
the fruit from the trees to the pack
ing house Mt ST. Elmo. Ten thousand
picking baskets are already at the
farm, together with material enough
for 200 cars OF peaches. Onehalf of
this box material has already been put
together ready for packing to begin.
Mr.. McNair has bought most all Of
the peach crop In Koshkonong. He
expects TO ship from ten to twenty cars
of fruit each day until the season is
over. II the rains continue for few
days his crop will be immense and the
company will make a fortune.
