One Way Of Chipping" a Bride.

! New York Press: To every patron of
lunchroom in Beekman street was
given plain white envelope as he en-
tered the door yesterday. Inside of it
he found a small brown envelope and
card. The card read:
Anticipating the approaching nupt-
ials of Miss --, the cashier for -,
and appreciat ting the courtesy which
she has Unfortunately extended to
patrons, it has occurred to few of us,
patrons of the restaurant, that it would
be in keeping with all propriety to de-
monstrate the same by a gift.
To this end, If you are in sympathy
with the project, inclose small sum,
not exceeding 25 cents, in the accom-
panying envelope and deposit same in
box provided at the cashiers desk at
the rear of the restaurant. 1t has been
decided that the amount received for
the purpose above designated be
handed In full to her, to be disbursed
as she may see fit In lieu of any selec-
ton the committee might make.
Envelope should be deposited today,
as it Is desired to present the gift on
Saturday noon, her last day with US.
To this was signed the names Of the
three committeeman who were respon-
sible for the scheme. All the customers
fell victim to this good-natured
TOUCH" and before the close of bust
ness for the day the box on the pretty
cashiers desk "at the rear of the res
taurant" was damned with brown en-
velopes.

all hair and flashing eyes. I felt uneasy
right away, and was not relieved by the
way he kept glaring at me in a highly
suspicious manner.
"All at a sudden he took out a clasp
knife, opened 1t, and began to cut all the
curtain cords and to knot them in one
piece. I was almost frightened out Of
senses. AL the horrible stories I had
ever read or heard about misadventures
with criminals in those nasty compart-
nent trains flashed into my head. I ex-
pected nothing better than to be stran-
gled on the spot, and began to beg the
brigand-for felt sure that he must be
one-to spare my life. He only laughed
horrible, brutal laugh-and jabbered
something in italian, of which did not

When he threw off his coat and waist

was almost ready to jump out of the win

on his coat and vest again and sat down

CHAPTER XIX.
THE MAN IN THE RED FOX.

The MAN LIN The RED FOA.
At the hour designated by Ellison,
Inspector Barnes, the chief Of police,
had posted his men in the streets
leading to the Red Fox, waiting for
the signal which would call his men
to the center Of the scene Of action.
It was very seldom that the head
Of the police department took a hand
in an affair of the kind, but he was
moved by curiosity, and, at the same
time, by the desire to figure pro1ni-
nently in the capture Of a rogue who
had defied the department for many
months. 1t would not look well in
the papers. when the accounts came
to be eventually written UP, If the
chief did not occupy prominent
place in the proceedings. Barnes,
moreover, felt a certain hatred for
the man who had put his department
in such disrepute, and he was anxious
to have first view of the man who
had been able to Withstand all the
machinery Of the law SO long.
Ten o'clock had been the hour when
he expected to hear the pistol shot
that was to summon him and his
men to the scene, but as time passed.
and 1t was nearing the half hour
after the time, he began to grow
impatient
What do you think of this, In
spector Thorne?" he asked Of tall
man, who had secreted himself in a
hallway opposite the queer hotel
Barnes was not the only important
official who had desired to have some
thing to do with the capture of the
celebrated criminal.
"Oh, I'm not worried replied
Thorne Never know what delays
might happen in an affair like this
only hope your man wasn't guying
us with his story"
He did not love his chief particu
larly, and would have liked to see
him ousted to give place to real
genius-himself, for example. If
the principals were excited, the men
detailed on this occasion We're also
in somewhat of furry. They did
not share the opinion held by Barnes
that the man who had defied the
machinery Of the department SO long
--ould be easy to capture, and looked
forward to lively time of 1t.
Barnes and Inspector Thorne were
still occupying the hallway of de-
serted warehouse, watching the
building that doomed up darkly be-
fore them, listening for the sound Of
the pistol shot that was to be the
signal.
The hotel with the foreign name
was really two buildings. The bar
room facing on one street, through
which the sleeping rooms could be
reached in the rear by narrow
passage.

Voting Machines.

In the Illinois Legislature has been
introduced bill advocating the use
of voting machines at elections in
this state. This bill should receive
the careful consideration of the mem
bers Of the legislature and
considerable action should be taken
upon the measure. There is a crying
demand for election reforms. The
voting machine may obviate many of
the errors invariably made in all the
elections under the Australian sys-

experiment. 1t has been used sue

count ballots and do the figuring on
the tally sheets, it is easy to see that
voting machine would help some.

is more than can be said of many
