desperate character In the spring OF
1880. In Chicago. He seized a woman
and proceeded to tear her diamonds
from her. She fought desperately and
screamed. Grove drew a revolver and
shot her in the arm. Two policemen,
attracted by the shots and cries, ran
up and one Of them was wounded; the
other overpowered the young thug For
this crime Grove was sentenced to
eight years in the Joliet penitentiary.
After serving two years, however, he
was pardoned.
His next crime Of note was the
snatching of tray of diamonds from
the window Of jewelry store in Den
yer. He was arrested, but a saloon
keeper gave bail for him in $500, and
Grove disappeared.
Not long after that, in the latter
part Of 1893, he was suspected Of the
robbery of the safe Of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad in Dennison,
Iowa. He admitted the robbery, but
William A. Pfnkerton, who visited him
in his cell, said that Grove confessed
merely to escape being sent to Denver
for trial on the jewe.ry robbery charge
There was ample evidence against him
in the Denver case, but not enough to
convict on the railroad robbery charge
It was decided to send him to Denyer,
but he saved the officers the bother
Oy escaping.
In 1894 several daring train robber
les were committed by him in the W.
cinity of st. Joseph, Mo-, but for a
long time he was not suspected. so
carefully did he work.
After the Cudahy kidnapping Grove
says that he Travelled around the world
and fought with the Beers against
England in South Africa.

Omaha, Neb. The senior Cudahy paid
$4,000 at the time for the release OF
his son, and Grove, after the division
Of the money with his confederate In
crime, disappeared. Although in the
aggregate 100000 was offered for his
capture, and Notwithstanding that at
intervals Grove would show himself In
some large center Of population, the
police were utterly unable to capture
him until he was taken at Butte.
Immediately after his arrest Grove
told a highly sensational story relative
to the kidnapping. He says he was
successful butcher in South Omaha
when Edward A. Cudahy built pack
ing house there and drove him out of
business. He then entered Cudahy's
employ and became acquainted with
the family. 1t was young Cudahy him.
self, Grove asserts, who suggested the
KIDNAPPING in order that they might
work the old man" for some money.
Grove Endorsed the proposition and
selected another man as an aid. Young
Cudahy, he claims, was never a pris-
oner and proposed that the father

Mun ORIGINATED in France

When the muff came to us from
France in the days Of Charles TX. no
lady could have worn a sealskin muff,
for black was decreed by the king to
be the badge Of the cOmomn people and
the court followers were restricted to
the cOlOrs. Muffs have gone through
more styles than it would seem posi-
BILE to invent for such a simple article
Of convenience, says the London
Chronicle. They have been long and
narrow and again large and round.
One Of the most curious styles was
that Of Louis XIV, called the "chlens
manchors," because they were made
to convey little dogs in.
The muff when first introduced was
the exclusive property Of the nobility.
These muffs were very small and con-
sisted of a single piece Of velvet, bro
cade or silk lined with fur and the
openings fastened with rich Jewels.
Such arrangements came in during the
early part of the seventeenth century.
We now associate the muff only with
cold weather, but In the old days it
was a regular part Of woman's dress
and was carried at all times.

ransom. This amount was cut to $2o,-
600. and when the latter sum was PAID
the money was divided among the
three, young Cudahy getting $4,000 as
his share. The kidnapped boy denies
this story absolutely.
Grove is remarkable criminal.
Murder seems to be the only crime
that has never been laid against him
and that apparently is not his fault
At the very inception Of his career, so
far rs it is known publicly, he shed
human blood. How many persons he
has shot or stabbed no one but himself
can tell, for he worked with only HIM
self for counselor. Like the notorious

A MUSICAL SHERLOCK HOLMES.

0~S~S>N>%SN~~
W. L. Tomlins, the veteran choral d.
rector, sometimes surprises his pupils
by analyses Of their voices made af-
ter the inductive method. Recently,
while he was visiting at a country
house, an instance occurred which led
his hostess to call him ''the musical
Sherlock Holmes"
A young woman had sung two SIM
pie ballads, to the enjoyment Of the
party-and of Mr.. Tomlins. When
she had finished he said:
Let me see. When you were about
IL years old you went to school in
room with about forty other pupils.
You were fond of singing, and especial
" Of part singing. Your teacher was
also fond of part songs. Though you
preferred to sing soprano, your voice
was so low that you could carry the
alto. There were not more than three
others In the room who could also
sing alto, and none of them sang as
well as you. Still, though there were
SO few Of you, you sang with such
enthusiasm and love for singing that
1t was always delight to you and
your teacher, and with your aid the al
tos could be heard In sufficient strength
to balance the sopranos. You always
mad part songs at the exhibitions
and you led the altos in them"
Goodness" exclaimed the young
woman. However did you find that
out? That Is exactly what happened
all through the year 1 was in the sew
enth grade and part Of the eighth, at
Glencoe. But who told your
Your voice told me-" replied Mr..
Tomlins. Il heard all that while you
sang. Your higher voice is your nat
ural voice, but you have a strong low
er voice also. The two are Of very
different quality. The lower voice has
the exuberance, the buoyant strength
that comes most easily to q child,
singing without any conventional re-
straining of emotional voice that is
used to expressing all of you-your-
self
Your natural voice is more re-
strained. 1t has been trained, but it's
effects are studied and not so natural.
1t Is not SO strong as the other, and
has been trained since you grew old
enough to guard conventionally against
expressing all you feel. With that
and a knowledge Of how school chill
dren sing the reasoning was easy"
