trusted his mortal part. and they did
not fall him. He reached the bottom
Of the shaft safely. climbed into the
basement OF the hotel and eventually
emerged upon the street.
One Of the first objects which met his
gaze as he came out into daylight was
the broad back Of Mr.. Weber. That
individual was walking rapidly away.
Clearly the fraud had already been
perpeuated upon him.
Franz overlook him at the corner OF
the street and laid hand upon his
arm.

Weber looked at him for q moment
in blank surprise. Then he suddenly
seized the boy by the back Of the neck
and threw him headlong against the
swinging doors Of barroom. Franz
landed aat on his face on tho foor.
He bounced up like rubber ball,
and he was the ''maddest" Teuton that
ever came out Of Germany. II seemed
to him that he few after Weber with.

from behind. and the two fell In Q
heap.
His vengeance was only beginning.

pulled to his feet by an enormous mar
dressed In blue and carrying club.

formidable creature and then repeated
the question In German.
Franz hardly knew what to say. BE

atty to his uncle and openly denounce
him as q thief.
II was trying to do this man a favor"
said he. There has been q mistake.
He has changed American gold for

Before be could speak another word
the giant seized him and Weber, one
In each hand, and whisked them
through a door. II was done as rapidly
as magic. and they were In q small
room alone.
"Now. Dutchy," said the big man. ad.
dressing Weber with great earnestness,
"speak up. What was it-gold plated

Weber nodded sullenly.
"was Il your money! demanded the
officer, pointing at Srans with his club,

"weli. you take II and give 1t back to

Weber, with a groan. drew 1000
marks In bills from his pocket and
gave them to Franz.
This Is the best can de for you,

Weber lost no time in making bis
exit. Franz, under the policeman's
guidance, returned 10 the thief's resort

female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs.
Pinkham at Lynn. Mass. She asks
nothing in return for her advice. 1t Is

women has proved to be more precious
than gold.

TO IMPROVE ST. FRANCIS BASIN.
Delegates From Three States Meet in
Memphis.

Memphis Tenn, June 23.-MCre
than 400 delegates from Missouri. Ar.
kansas and Tennessee attended the
sessions today of the St Francis Riy-
er Improvements association. in con-
venticn here.
Interest in the work to be done in
the St. Francis basin and valley is
not confined to that section of eoun-
try alene for landha lders from Chica-
go, St. Louis, Decatur and other cities
are represented among the visitors.
Pledges to do al in their power to
secure frc9n the next session Gf con.
eress a 100000 appropriation were
given today by Senator Carmack Of
Tennessee and Senator Stone Of Mis-
souri, in their speeches.
Congressman r. B. Macon of Ar
kansas also pledged himself support
ing the bill asking the appTo ratio.
for the improv ement of the St. Fran
els river.
Senator Carmack said that t. onsh
draining Cf private land is net ii, Get

tions the opening Of streams to navi=
gation is in line and that the ap,,rc-
priation should be made. He sai that

GOO. O00 is two and one-half times IS
great as that of the reclaimed River
Nile land upon the retrieving
which England spent s25 100000. 81
ter speaking of the general import
ance of the work to be done, not Only
to the St. Francis country or to the
United States. but to the world, Sen
ator Stone said:
"The shining sun looks net upC2
any area n the entire slabe that IS
capable of supporting more people IN
comfort, aye, even in luxury as the
St. Francis basin. It's 3.S97 600 acres

stock of the south, but all the people.
CONGRESSMAN R. B. Macon Of Ar.
kansas followed Senator Stoae. II
reviewed briefly the benefits that will
result from the proposed improve
ments. A new point to be made is
that it will serve as a freight regula-
tor, He said it is the duty OF cen
eress to make the Mississippi river
navigable from st. Paul to New Or
leans, for I'VE all know the day OF
railroad competition is past. The rail
roads are so thoroughly organized, SO
welded together in common interest
that it is better for them to strike
down the competitive rate plan and
make rates, thereby enriching them
selves at the expense of the people
Congressman M. R. Patterson OF
Tennessee, o. N. Killough OF Wynne,
Ark, formerly president of the st.

of Missouri also spoke.
