Tut They Gave Him Back $40 ana
Iiept $50 Thieves Made Good
Their Escape.

one Of the most daring robberies In
recent years occurred here Saturday
afternoon, when an old man from Ore
gon, on his way 10 Jackson county,
Missouri, was buncoed out Of sl2O'
The name Of the old man could not
be learned by Detectives Chase and
Gillespie who are working on the case
owing to the victims peculiar mental
condition. as he was almost crazed al
the loss Of the money.
The story as related to the officers is
as follows
on Saturday afternoon. the old man
was resting In the Tabernacle grounds
when an affable stranger approached
and engaged him In conversation and
wanted TO show him the sights Of the
city. The traveller was completely won
over by the fellows pleasant manner
and willingly went along with him.

9 and the other years Of age.
The CRATER led his victim TO the
Klondike saloon and invited him 10
drink. There they met another affable
stranger--they always do--and the CON
versation liyened as the drinks came
with more frequency,
The result of the meeting was that
the old man was roped into the ancient
three card monte graft, and before he
knew what had happened, he was re-
lleved Of sl2O.
Suddenly realizing the terrible sltua-
ton he was In, he demanded his money
back. Finally the fellows returned $40
to him and disappeared with the bal.
ance. $50 The stranger promptly re-
ported the matter 10 Chase and Giles.
pie, but the strange part OF the affair
was that the victim was unable TO give
the slightest description of the leeehes
He was almost crazed over his loss and
the officers turned their attention 10 tn
little boys but could get no lnforma
ton from them.
II is thought the old man las left tho

LITERARY P1LGR1MAGEs

1t is painful. to find yourself deceived as
to the identity of any locality about which
literary associations cluster. We have all
heard of and sympathZe with the Polish
tourist who was found weeping bitterly at
the door OF the icehouse at Mount Vernon,
believing that it was the tomb of the reyered
George. Washington. So we can feel much
Indignation along with the American lady
who had reverently contemplated for some
time on a London street small shop, which
she had been told was the Variable "Old
Curiosity Shop which figures in Dickens
touching novel. There was a sign on the
building which read "Old curiosity Shop"
but it was placed there by former oceu-
pant who had passion for Dickens, and
one day, when reading about Little Nell,
thought it would be a good idea to label the
house with the name Of the book. =
a writer in the London Mall Mr.. Story,
says that the real original '.Old Curiosity
Shop has been cleared away for fifteen or
twenty years, but he frequently went there
of Dickens books, which were for sale there.
The woman who kept the shop then told him
that Dickens used to he regular customer
of the shop and seemed to like books of the
blood-curdling variety Dickens frequently
had discussions on literary topics with friends
in this shop. But the structure has fallen
before the inevitable march, of material I'M
provement. Literary pilgrims, however, con-
tinue to linger about the shop, with the mis-
leading sign. When literary pilgrims go sur
charged with sentiment and tears to muse
upon localities associated with intellectual
genius, they want to be absolutely sure that
the emotion shall be expended upon the right
place..

NEW BOOKS

The One Before. BY Barry Pain, au-
: thor of Stories in the DARK etc. illus
trated by Browne. New York: Charles
Scribner's Sons, Nos 153-157 Fifth avenue.
Minneapolis: N. Mccarthy. Price, S1.25
The authors central figure, Mr.. Ernest
Saunders Barley, keeps the reader in health
full 1nirth throughout the book by his eccen-
tricities and occupations which were, as Mr..
Pain says, principally futile" His wife,
Mary, Mr.. James Havern, his brother-in-
laws brother, and Jane and Ellen, the maids,
contribute to the hun1or of the book hand
sornely. Bariey's weakness and wickedness
were his perpetual scolding and nagging of
his pretty wife. James Havern told his uncle
Brookes about 1t and Brookes produced a
quaint gold-bronze Persian ring, bearing the
name THE One Before which had the
mysterious power OF imparting to each new
wearer the characteristics Of the last wearer.
Brookes sent the ring to Barley with let
ter signed in his nephew's name. Barley
would not wear it and his wife put 1t on his
finger, and a transformation of the Barley
domestic situation took place which turned
the Querulous, migsnancyish Barley, leading
petty, aimless life, into a vigorous and en-
thusiastic golf player and horticulturist,
while under his wife's new and potential in
fluence he lost entirely his fault-fnding and
irascibIe disposition. Much Of the story is
taken up with very amusing account Of
the frantic efforts OF the Jewish dealers in
old curios to get possession of the magical
ring
