Dicks words had chilled his
heart. He was afraid of him, but
he was afraid to back down from
what was now evidently his duty.
So without further words he
whipped him. Yet to save his life
he could not hit him as he thought
he deserved.

be seen on the hill to the south of
town vainly watching for some
body. He would always take some
thing to eat in his pockets, and
when he gave up his vigil he
would place the food under a big
shelving rock where they had
often played together. But the
birds and ground squirrels ate it.
He would slip back the next day
hoping to see Dick jump out of
the cave and surprise him.
And then at last he gave it up,
sat down under the rock and cried
He knew Dick would grow to

He walled his eyes solemn1y.

Dick, l wouldn't do it," said
Charlie, laughing in spite of him
self.
Charlie refused to accompany
him. But Dicks mind was set on
the necessity of this work of re-
form. Soin the afternoon he slipp-
ed off without leave, and quietly
made his way into the gallery of
the negro Baptist church.
The excitement was running
high. Uncle Josh had preached
one sermon an hour in length,
and had called up the mourners.
At least 50 had come forward.
The benches had been cleared
for five rows back from the pull
pit to give plenty of room for the
mourners to crawl over the floor.
walk back and forth and shout
when they came through, land
for their friends to fan them.
This open place was covered
with wheat straw to keep the
mourners off the bare floor. and
afford some sort Of comfort for
those far advanced in mourning,
who went into frances and some
times Law motiOn1eSS for hours on
their backs or fiat on their faces.
The mourners kicked and
shuf1ed this straw out to the
edges and the floor was bare.
Uncle Josh had sent two deacons
out for more straw.
In the meantime he was work
ing himself up to another mighty
climax of exhortation to move
sinners to come forward.

Means and groans and shrieks.
louder and lou der filled the air.
Uncle Josh paused a moment and
looked for his deacons with the
straw. They were just coming up
the steps with a great arm full over
their heads,

In the next five hours it had dropped TO

been reached. between this hour and 10
the mercury lowered around the 10 mark,
making the low record of the season.
During the rest Of the forenoon and the

The highs and lows kept the govern
ment forecasters guessing yesterday.
There was a high in the north that was
looking longingly in the direction of
Sedgwick county, but to make the
weather bureau men earn their money a
low about the same distance in the south
west appeared to be planning a visit to
this section of the country. The weather
men found the puzzle hard one. but
thought the proper solution of the prob
lem was TO send the low In the west up
the Rocky mountains and 10 bring the
high with its cold fair weather to Wich-
ita. So they sent out their forecast pre-
dieting frost for last night and a fair
Tuesday. But the low was not TO be put
off so easily. and before evening had
forced the weather man to change his
mind. The ink on the forecasts had
scarcely dried when he began crying no
frost, cloudy weather last night with a
strong PROBABILITY OF rain on Tuesday.

TWO PIcKPocKETs CAUGHT.
A. V. Robinson Has Lively Tussie
With Leader,

WIN ECdOCTs
Two pickpockets who gave their names
at the police station as T. J. Moran and
Frank Adams, were caught last evening
in the act Of relieving Samuel Gordon.
a travelling salesman, of his wallet as
the latter was boarding a southbound
! Santa Fe passenger train.
During the usual amount Of confusion
that results from many passengers
! boarding the trains at this place the
men pursued a bold method of securing
| Mr.. Gordon's pocketbook. One jostied
/ against him while the other hurriedly
went through his pockets. Being handi-
/ capped with the carrying OF two heavy
valises Gordon. who was aware that
some one was going through his clothes.
for the moment could make no outcry.
He succeeded, however in dropping his
vaiises and shaking himself from the
crowd Of people he dashed after the
men as the latter ran over the car plat
form to the other side Of the train and
made a dash toward William street.
Mr.. Gordon starteled others present by
his cries of stop thief. Stop thief"
and several persons who had not under
stood what the connection was about.
Joined in the chase. A. V. Robinson, a
fireman in the employ of the Santa Fe.
who resides in this city, happened to
be in the vicinity at that time and saw
the man running toward him. He i'm
mediately assumed a crouching position
and the thief ran directly into his arms.
For a moment the pocketbook could not
be found. Later it was discovered some
distance from where Mr.. Robinson first
caught the pickpocket, where the latter
had evidently thrown It when he saw
that capture was certain.
When Gordon recovered his property
he Immediately boarded the train and
left the city. He has not been seen since.
The two pickpockets were taken to the
police station and the Santa Fe railroad
will prosecute them. 1t is understood
that a state warrant is to sworn out for
them.
At the time of their arrest the men
were fairly well fixed with money and
had about $3.50 between them. 1t is said
by some that if the men had succeeded
in getting away with Gordon's pocket
book they would have been $3.50 richer.
The exact amount it contained is not
known. but some say 1t held but 800 In
currency. After Mr. Robinson. who
caught the thief had thrown the latter
to the ground. Gordon. who was appar-
emily greatly excited, kicked the man
several times in the face. He succeeded
in inficting several bad wounds before
Policeman Remspear appeared on the
scene and took the man in charge.
The other pickpocket was Immediately
held by the throng that witnessed the
attempted holdup. so that the men were
caught with but really little effort on the
part Of any one, except Mr.. Robinson,
who threw his man TO the ground and
did battle for a few minutes before he
could get the best of the tussle.

BURGLARS.
They Enter Newcomers Store and
Steal Some Goods,

Newcomers book store was broken
into Monday night and a quantity OF
fountain pens were stolen. but the loss
will not reach large figures. The burg
lars. who were evidently hoboes or
novices in the business. gained en-.
trance through the rear window by
breaking the window glass and remov-
ing the screen.
As gentleman In the city was pass
ing up Silver avenue he noticed a cou.
pie of men in the rear of Newcomers
standing at the door. He stopped and
they took to their heels. He passed
on thinking 1t was only some kids.
Considering the fact that all the val
liable goods were left unmolested 1t Is
evident that they were green at the
business and were only experimenting.
half dozen boxes OF cigars were TAX.
en- out of the cases and left in the
front part of the store.
The only trace of their steal was
the empty fountain pen case, which
is very small, being used to show up
the pens.
