acter his Holiness possessed and mani
tested as a curate marked him as
a parish priest, both in it's excellence
and it's defects. He was as diligent as
ever in the discharge Of his Offices.
When the aged beadle had difficulty in
getting up at in the morning to open
the church doors, and his friends want
ed to rouse him, he would say: Let
him sleep, poor fellow. Do you think I
cannot open q door,? When I am old
and ill I can lie in bed, and you can
open it for me-" A son Of the soil him

always willing to help his countrymen.

once. when body had to be brought to
the church from distance for a funer-

THEIR SILVER WEDDING KING DODO THE RULER
Carnival Monarch Presided at Mask
Ball Last Night.

Mirth and quietly we're in the ascend
ency last night at the big masquerade
ball given by the Turnverein to sig
nalize the close of the social season.
Masked dancers were out in force and
the lower portion of the theatre was
crowded. On the floor courtiers of the
days of Louis V touched elbows with
modern Happy Hooligans and ladies
in Grecian costumes whirled side by
side with flower girls and Chinese
maidens.
When the curtain went up it showed
the kings court in waiting to receive
their monarch and a moment later
King Dodo and his consort, Queen
Lii, represented by Mr.. and Mrs. F.
W. Johnson, made their entry. The
makeup Of the former was letter.
perfect. His costume was true in ev-
cry particular to that of the comic
opera ruler, the bald head was there
but as a finishing touch the apex of
his crown was fitted with a diminutive
electric light; which shone brilliantly
upon occasions.
After the king and queen had taken
their places on the throne Koko, the
court historian, wv. E. Koch) ad-
vanced to the front of the stage and
read the proclamation. AS he con-
Guided the orchestra struck up "The
| Tale of the Bumblebee'' and King
| Dodo and Queen Lii descended from
the dais and led their retainers and
subjects in the grand march.
During the evening two comic skits
were put on, the first showing the dis
astrous experience of Prof. Marks and
his bullet-broof coat with three west
ern cowboys and the other illustrating
the great execution done by the Sun
day Hunters, John Hauenstein and
Fred Grebe. The Chrysanthemum
Girls, Misses Lucy Mueller, Viola
Schell, Hertha Grebe, Lottie Mueller,
Anna Neumann, Mertie Engel, Elsie
Koch and Emily Engel, danced pretti-
ly and there was an exhibition of the
same nature given by the Witches and
Devils, comprising the Misses Anna
Kobarsch, Emma Pullman, Ida Pc

VIM. Stoll, Robt. Petry, Chas. EN-
merich and Ed. Petry.
In awarding the prizes the Chrysan
themum girls we're given first, the

Old Maids third. Chas. Stengel, as a
cavalier, and Miss Emily Helm, the
bird woman, won the prizes for the
fancy costumes, and the comic awards
went to Fred Setter, the bear. and

DO ROWS PAY.

Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon
his parents for livelihood until he
reaches the age Of FL years costs them
$4,000. On this basis of calculation a
brood for instance of six boys will
represent an outlay of $4,000 by the
time they get away from the home
roost. The question naturally arises
does it pay to raise boys, and are
there no other crops that would prove
more profitable? If a boy turns out
to be a cigarette fend with breath
like a turkey buzzard and a laugh that
would make the wild untutOred donkey
feel perfectly at home in his society,
and with an untrammeled desire to
avoid work, it is safe to say that the
parent might have invested his $4,000
at much better advantage. But if the
tOiler grows up to manhood with the
lesson we'll learned that wealth and
success grow only on bushes that are
watered by the sweat of ones brow,
the parents need not begrudge what
ever they have spent on him for he
will be source of increasing pride
and JOY to their hearts, and when they
grow old and their hands tremble anC
their legs wabble and their step is SLOW
and faltering they will have two
strong arms to lean upon and hel1
them over all the rough places tina
lie in their twilight path.-Ex.

it developed into rank imposition,
consisting Of nothing more than tin
pan carefully frosted over.
Immediately after the arrival. of the

where? The vision of her which I had just seen in my minds eye came out with a clearness at, this, which struck me as providential I could discern as plainly as if I had been a part of the scene the white clad form of the bride bending toward the light which came in sparsely. through the half open shutter she had loosened for this task. This was the shutter which had never again been fastened and whose restless blowing to and fro had first led attention to this house and the crime it might otherwise have con cealed indefinitely, Had some glimpse of the rank grass growing underneath this window lured her eye and led her to cast away the ring which she had no longer any right to keep? It would be like a woman to yield to such an inn pulse, and on the strength of the possi- bility I decided to search this small plot for what it might very reasonably conceal
 Calling together a posse of street urchins, I organized them into band, with the promise of a good supper all around if one of them brought me the pieces of broken ring which I had lost in the grass plot of house where I had been called upon to stay all night. That they might win the sup per in the shortest possible time and before the owner of this house, who lived opposite, could interfere, I ad- vised them to start at the fence in long line and, proceeding on their ly +n %hn before him to the width of his own body. The fortunate one was to have the privilege of saying what the sup per should consist of. To give plausi- ble excuse for this search ball was to be tossed up and down the street till it lighted in the Moore house in- closure.
 I did not accompany them. Jimmy, who has such an innocent air on the street, took my place and promenaded up and down the block just to see that MT. Moore did not make too much trouble. And it was we'll she did so, for though he was not at hOme-I had chosen the hour of his afternoon ride his new manservant was, and he no sooner perceived this crowd of urchins hAhAAAS AoA IAAS OppOo4IC AouS0 IAoA AS rushed at them and would have scat tered them far and wide in a twin kling If the demure dimples of my lit tie ally had not come into play and distracted his attention so completely as to make him forget the throng of unkempt hoodlums who seemed bound to invade his masters property. She was looking for Mr. Moore's house, she told him. Did he know MT. Moore and his house, which was somewhere near, not his new, great, big house, where 4he horrible things took place or which 'he had read in the papers, but his lit le old house, which she had heard was soon to be for rent and which she

clusion? Tn this last hour of her maid en life she had sought to rid herself of some article of jewelry which she found it undesirable to carry into her new life. What article of jewelry2 In consideration of the circumstances and the hour I could think of but one-a ring, the symbol of some old attach ment
 The slight abrasion at the base of her third finger, which had been looked upon as the result of too rough and speedy a withdrawing of the wedding ring on the evening of her death, was much more likely to have been occa- stoned by the reopenfng of some little wound made two weeks before by the file. If Durbin and the rest had taken into account these filings, they must have come to very much the same con- clusion, but either they had overlooked them in their search about the place or, having noted them, regarded them as cleW leading nowhere.
 But for me they led the way to a very definite inquiry. Asking to see the rings Mrs. Jeffrey had left behind her on the night she went for the last time to the Moore house, looked them carefully over and found that none of them showed the least mark of the file. This strengthened my theory, and proceeded to take my next step with increased confidence. It seemed an easy one, but proved unexpectedly diff ficult. My desire was to ascertain whether she had worn previous to her marriage any rings which had not been seen on her finger since, and it took me one whole week to establish the fact that she had.
 But that fact once learned, the way cleared before me. Allowing my fan cy full rein, I pictured to myself her anxious figure standing alone in that ancient and ghostly room filing off this old ring from her dainty finger. Then l asked myself what she would be likely to do with this ring after dis engaging 1t from her hand? Would she keep it? Perhaps But, if so, why could It not be found? None such had been discovered among her effects. Or had she thrown it away. and if so.

\ NY DID some tall thinking that night
 remembered that this man had
 held some conversation with the
 Jeffreys at their carriage door previous to their departure from the Moore house, and found myself com belled to believe that only a matter of importance to themselves as well as to him would have detained them at such minute. Oh, that Tampa were not so far off or that had happened on this clew earlier! But Tampa was at that moment far prospect for me- and could only reason from such facts as had been able to collect in Washington.
 Fixing my mind now on Mrs. Jeffrey asked the cause of the many caprices which had marked her conduct on her wedding morning. Why had she per sisted in dressing alone, and what oc- casioned the absorption which led to her ignoring all appeals at her door at a time when a woman is supposed to be more than usually gracious2 But one answer suggested itself. Her heart was not in her marriage and Shat last hour of her matdenhood had
 
 a1een an hour of anguish and struggle. Perhaps she not only failed to love Francis Jeffrey, but loved some other nan. This seemed improbable, but things as strange as this have hap pened in our complex society, and no reckoning can be made with a wo- mans fancy. If this was so-and what other theory would better or even so well account for her peculiar behavior both then and afterward?
 The hour usually given by brides to dress and gladstone expectation was with her one of farewell to past hopes and an unfortunate if not passionate attachment. No wonder that she wished to be alone. No wonder that Interruption angered her. Perhaps it had found her on her knees. Perhaps Here I felt myself seized by a strong and sudden excitement. remembered the filings I had gathered up from the small stand by the window, filings which had glittered and which must have been of gold.
