talked of it long time. Finally he de-
scribed a sermon wherewitn he had
raised enough money to build magnif-

He said that this sermon had thrown
the congregation into transport of liber-
atty. From all sides of the auditorium
there had resounded announcements of
subscriptions of 1000, of 50 900, even of
$1,000. Women had advanced to the altar

HIS sWEETHEART'S HAIR.
ingenious Means of communicating
Information to a French
Thief in Jail.

A decidedly unique method of carry
ing on correspondence with a French
thief was adopted by his friends while
he awaited trial, says London Tit-Bits.
One day the gaoler was visited by the
prisoners betrothed, who asked him to
give her lover an envelope. This, upon
being opened. was found to contain
simply a small lock Of hair, around
which was folded a leaf of a book.
The gaoler did not consider it worth
while to deliver this souvenir to the
culprit, and therefore threw it aside.
A day or two later similar en-
closure was handed in at the prison
gate and shared the fate OF the prede-
cessor. In the course of week an
other was left by the same person.
This aroused the suspicion of the
governor of the prison, to whom had
been detailed the circumstances. He
determined to investigate the matter,
and accordingly first examined the
printed leaf. This he found was torn
from a novel and contained rs lines
on each side.
He next turned MS dCIeHtlOu 10 the
hair and discovered that there were
26 pieces, of unequal length. This
puzzled him for a while, and then,
concluding that there must be some
connection between the numbers of
The printed lines and the number of
hairs, he laid each of the latter along
the line of the page they respectively
reached, beginning with the shortest
hair at the top of the leaf.
After changing them about several
times he discovered that each hair
pointed to a different letter, and the
combination thus produced formed a
slang sentence, by means of which the
prisoner was given to understand that
lis friends had ascertained the day on
which he was to be taken to court and
we're determined to make a bold at
tempt to rescue him as soon as he
made his appearance. Taking the
cue, the governor adopted every pre-
caution to Illustrate the well-laid
plans of the outsiders. The attempt
was made and, as a natural conse-
quence, the conspirators soon found
themselves in the same condition as
the one for whom they had planned
the rescue.
