in his Winter Pilgrimage" that he
had early in life an opportunity for
imbibing a knowledge for which he
did not care. He continues: when
I was "a soaring human boy my
father took me up the Rhine by boat
with the expectation that my mind
would be improved by contemplating
it's lovely and historic banks. Very
soon, however, 1 wearied of the feast
and slipped down to the cabin to en-

BEST DETERRENT OF CRIME.
Nothing Is More Effective In Check
ing LawIessness Than Sure and
Swift Punishment.

The most important duty of any
police force is the control of the
vagrant and criminal classes and the
prevention of crimes against person
and property. There are many other
and important fields of usefulness,
hut unless the force is successful in
dealing with crime it is a failure.
AS a deterrent of crime, nothing is
probably more effective than swift
and sure punishment, writes Andrew
D. Avery, in the Cosmopolitan. In
England a murder trial is completed
within a few weeks, or months at the
outside, after the apprehension of
the accused, and from the first trial
there is no appeal to a higher court
of review or appeal. The wisdom of
permitting no appeal in capital cases
is a question which has been widely
discussed and cannot be taken up
here. Whether wise and humane or
not, it is interesting to note that the
police records show an astonishingly
small number of murders in London,
and 1 believe that the celebrity with
| which the trials are conducted has
much to do with the suppression of
this most heinous of all crimes. Ac-
cording to the official report of the
commissioner of the metropolitan
police, there were reported to the
London police only "a murders in the
calendar year 1901. and this out of a
population of over 5000, 600.

CHAPTER II.-CoNrINUED.
By ERNEST DE LANCY PERSON.


Mr.. Bowersox risked swallow
from his glass to fortify himself,
made a wry face, and continued:
"The young gent what's been
school-teacher here for the past five
years was sweet on the young lady,
and them what knows says it was
returned. Mrs. Ellison heard of it,
and was mad enough, though her hus-
band never let on to the young man
that he knowed what was up, though,
of course, he couldn't help it. All
the town knowed. Well, young Bar
nett, which the same was the school
teachers name, was pervadin'
round the grounds that night. He
was seen to meet with Mrs. Ellison
by the Waterman. There was hard
words between 'em, she accusin' the
young man of tryin' to steal her
daughter away. just what happened
after that isn't known, buts some
time alter cry was heard, and when
folks got on the scene they found
Mrs. Ellison dead, and near by Bar
nett, cleanin' his hands on the
grass" The landlord was silent for
a moment, as if to give emphasis
to his words. He was astonished at
the cool way in which the little man
receivedhis tragic recital.
"Well, that don't mean that the
young man was the murderer" said
the latter.
''Oh, it don't, Ell? Well, most of
us in this here neighborhood thinks

had made arrangements to leave last
night, surptitious-like, as they say,
and had sent his trunk off, instruct
in the man what carried it not to let
anyone know that the schoolmaster
was goin' to skip. All that looks
bad"
"Hum!" and the stranger for a
moment drummed on the table with
his stubby red fingers. ''The young
man is certainly in an unpleasant
position. What does he say-what is
his side of the storv?"
: ooh, he denies that he had any
thing to do with the poor lady,
though acknowledged that they had
words, and that she ordered him off
the grounds. On his way out he
heard this cry in the night, and,
runnin' back, found her dead or
dyin' on the ground"
"And what sort of a reputation
does he bear in the neighborhood? ?"
"oh, fust-rate, as far as that goes,
though he never patronized me
none," with rather rueful tone in
his voice. Right smart, he seemed
to be. But, We see, the mother allus
was against him. Hadn't been for
her. he might have got the gal. Ell
lison, We see, was friendly like to
the last"
SWELL, from what you tell me I
feel sure that young man had moth
ing to do with the crime" said the
stranger, decidedly. Perhaps it is
the work of some miscreant, who
took advantage of his being in the
grounds that night to- kill her. 1
never heard of young man taking
such step because the mother hap
pened to oppose his suit. 1t is not
common sense. Well, I must be GO
ing now," and he rose and laid a
piece of money on the table. aOh,
never mind the change" as the land
lord was counting it out. ut was
worth something to hear such dra-
lnatic story"

fellow again"
The subject of these remarks had
wriggled his way through the dense
" growing bushes, just as the village
constable came around from the
front of the house with party of
friends. Job Hendricks, for such
the name the stranger had given
the innkeeper, peering over the
of the hedge, grinned and wagged
his gray head. ''Ah. there's an ideal
keeper of 4 prisoner. / wish there
had been one of his kind way back
in the past 1t might have changed
everything"
He seemed to lapse into a sad and
turned and made his way to the
highroad, leaping the fences mechan-
ically, immersed in (what seemed to
be from his eXpression) very bitter
thoughts.
For a moment he stood in the mid
die of the road, looking up and
down, as if undecided which way to
go. 1t seemed to be a matter that
required some consideration, but
presently he nodded. and, turning,
made his way along the highway
that led in a northerlv direction.
81 promised to take that letter to
the young lady. L wonder if l shall
have any trouble in seeing her. Per-
haps / am altogether too sure of
what l can do, and what pressure 1
can bring to bear on others. None
too sure of my own liberty, for that
matter. Go slow, Job, slow, or you
will spoil everything"
He had reached a little brook
spanned by a wooden bridge, and he
stopped for a moment to wipe the
perspiration from his face, for the
day was oppressively hot.
AS he leaned there for moment.
with his hat off, resting and cooling
himself, a peculiar ringing of a bell
reached his ears, coming from the
direction of the town he had just
and turned to see an old man APP
preaching. On his breast he carried
some sort Of placard with an in
scription, and a bell attached by a
strap around one of his wrists. With
the free hand he felt his way with
long staff.
'Seems to me the blind man is
making his way into mighty I'M
profitable neighborhood, if he keeps
on the way he is going. Poor devil!
He has much less to live for than l
have. l guess I'll set him right and
tip him something for the mistake
of his taking the wrong road"
The patriarchal figure, in earth
co1ored rags, drew near. He was
tall man, and bent with years, his
long, white hair falling almost to his
shoulders.
Hendricks, who had taken out a
piece of money, dropped it into the
tin cup which the blind man wore
attached to a leather belt about his
waist. At the clinlzing sound of the
coin dropping in the tin, the old man
paused.
"God bless you, mister. and may
the Lord and all His angels watch
over you day and night"
He wore dark glasses over his eyes,
showing that he could not be wholly
blind.
I'm afraid that you are going out
of your way, FRIEND replied Job,
gently.
"Out of my way?"
Eyes; you are heading for the open
country. You have left the town
you had better return, or something
might happen to you, off alone on
road that contains few houses"

Adelina Patti with Baron Ceder-
strona, her husband, her manager and
her suite Of attendants, reached Min
neapolis this morning In her private
car. She sings tomorrow evening at
International auditorium. Manager
julius Francke repaired at once to the
West hotel to inspect arrangements
there for the diva, who remained in
her car till past noon and denied her
self to interviewers. Mr.. Francke
spoke enthusiastically Of the cordial
receptions accorded Nine. Patti every
where she has sung, showing that she
retains all her old-time power and
popularity.
Nine. Patti travels in her private
car "Craig-y-nos." and has every con-
venience and luxury in this palace on
wheels that heart could wish. Her
piano, a splendid specimen Of the
makers art, is constantly ready for
use. She carries her own chef who

ration of her favorite viands. In these

One Of the interesting things about
the Patti engagement Is the intense
desire Of the out-of-town people to
attend the concert. Many persons
have already taken advantage of the
holiday rates to come to the twins,
pay visits, do little shopping and at

that the function arranged for the as

teachers an opportunity to cut it, and

MAGGIE WAS
HIDDEN AWAY
WHEN THE POLICE SEARCHED
THE Chiffon HOME-STRANGE
STORY OF IMPRISONMENT.

Maggie Place the young girl who
was sent to the Reform school last
week. was on the witness tand before
Judge Gear this morning, testifying in
the case of the Territory VS.. Mrs. Jane
Chiffon, charged with receiving anG
harboring a stolen child. Maggie prov
ed to be q very intelligent witness.
She told a remarkable story of contin-
ued Imprisonment in the cellar of the
Chiffon home, declaring that Mrs Chill
ton helped her son Harry in the i'm
prisonment. At one time Maggie in
terrupted her testimony to indulge in
a hearty laugh. 1t was wnen she said
that Harry left the house to go down
town and sue MarNnal Brown, because
Brown had shook him while trying to
find her.
Maggie was in a closet upstairs
when the police came to the Chiffon
house after her, according to her tes-
timony. The Chinese cook told her the
police were to search the house, she
said but this was stricken out as hear
say testimony Mrs. Chiffon and Har-
ry called me up from the cellar" said
tire girl, land they told me to go in to
the closet and to stay there. 1 went
in. The door was left OPEN"
Asked if Harry Chiffon remained in
the room, Maggie began to laugh. She
finally said that ne left, stating that
he was going to sue Marshal Brown
for damages, because the marshal had
gra bbed him and given him a shaking.
| Harry is now serving time in Oahu
| Jail for the offense for which his moth
ed is being tried. c.
Where did you spend your days
and nights when in the Chiffon homa?'
asked Deputy Attorney General Peters
"In the cellar" was the girls an
swer.
What sort of a bed did you have?''
"A mattress and a table. My meals
We're usually brought by the Chinese
cook. Harry and Mrs Chiffon gave me
some clothes additional to those 1 had
when l came there"
The girl stated that sometimes she
went up stairs, Mrs. Chiffon calling
her up On one such occasion it was
Mrs. Chiffon who escorted her back
"She led me to the cellar door and l
went down." said the witness. Mrs.
! Chiffon also brought lights for her.
Maggie said she never save Mrs. Chill
toms husband. Her visits to other
parts of the house from the cellar We're
always when he was away.
The prosecution is being assisted by
Mrs. Place mother of the alleged vic
| tim, and the case is being very hard
| fought. Mrs Place and the defendant
cast anything but tender looks at one
another as the unusual story of the
girl is brought our. The evidence is
subject to a long line of objections by
]. w. Cathcart and w. T. Rawlins, for
the defense, and the hearing is likely
to last all of today and tomorrow.
