An uncanny experience Is related in
the Pail Mall Magazine:
Our ship was out twenty-three days
from Manila to the Sandwich Islands.
1t was a silent, dead-black night. The
lead showed deep sea. Suddenly we
felt as II we had grounded. The mate
suggested sunken wreck but the
skipper stuck to the theory Of earth
quake. Subsequent events showed
that he was right.
Daybreak revealed low and misty

The ship rolled and in the distance rose
a huge, balloon shaped mass Of vapor,
steam or smoke There was not the
slightest sound. but long line of
chatting water stretched across tho
streaky calmness. Then the vapor set

not see the seething and pouring water

bucketful to be draw up. 1t was

CHAPTER xxx


We left the station, invaded a vehicle.
and arrived In twenty minutes before a
shabby looking shanty, where the court
was held.
There was n crowd. The affair had
got abroad. 1t was known that swind-
Ter had come in box in Grand Trans
asiatic van free. gratis. and for nothing
from Titlis to Pekin. Every one wished
to see him; every one wanted to recog-
nize the features of this genius-it was
not yet known that he was hero.
There he is, our brave companion, be-
tween two rascally looking policemen
yellow as ounces These fellows are
ready to walk him off to prison at the
judges orders. and to give him few
dozen strokes on the soles of his feet if
he is condemned to that punishment.
Kinko is thoroughly disheartened
which astonishes me on the part of one
l know to be so energetic. But as soon
as he sees us his face betrays a ray of
hope.
Our young advocate was really pa
thetic and amusing. He interested the
judge, he excited the audience with the
story Of the journey, he told them all
about 1t, and finally he offered to pay the
company what was due to them. I'm
fortunately. the judge could not consent.
There had been material damages. moral
damages.
Thereupon Pan Chao became animated
and, although we understood nothing he
said. we guessed that he was speaking
Of the courage of Kinko, Of the sacrifice
he had made for the safety of the trav-
elers, and finally. as a supreme argument,
he pleaded that his client had saved the
imperial treasure.
Arguments were of no avail with this
pitiless magistrate who had not acuuit-
ted ten prisoners In his life. He spared
the delinquent the bastinado; but gave
him six months in prison, and condemn
ed him in damages against the Grand
Transasiatic Company. And then. at n
sign from this condemning machine, poor
Kinko was taken away.
Let not my readers pity Kinkos fate.
l may as well say at once that every
thing was arranged satisfactorily. Next
morning Kinko made a triumphal entry
into the house In the Avenue Cha Coua,
where we were assembled while Madame
Caterna was showering her maternal con-
solutions on the unhappy Zinca Klork.
The newspapers had got wind Of the
affair. The Chi Bao, of Pekin. and the
Chinese Times, of Tien-tsin had demand
ed mercy for the young Roumanian.

BURGLARY AS A FINE ART.
No Longer Practiced - Safe Blower
Now Mere Tramps.

No Longer Practiced - Safe Blowers
Now Mere Tramps.
Not many years ago the bank bur-
glar was looked up to by other GRIM
inals with something like reverence,
says the Kansas City Star. He was
regarded, in fact, as the true arsto-
crat Of crime, and was pointed at with
furtlve admiration upon the streets
when at liberty and in penal institu-
lions when occasionally deprived Of
his freedom. Nowadays almost every
burglary that occurs in the United
States is performed by common tramps
or hobOes.
This situation IS what the racing
men would describe as startling re-
versal Of form, and 1t shows to what
depth once exalted profession may
fall when 1t passes out Of the hands Of
those associated with its highest
flights. Indeed, as compared with the
exploits Of the old -timers. or tool
men, as they are technically known,
the burglaries Of recent days-or
nlghts-might be described as petit
larceny. for it Is a rare occurrence that
more than $4,000 or $1,000 has been
involved in felonious expeditions dur
ing the last dozen years.
In former times, when the bands or
ganized by "the big fellows" went
after the contents of a banking institu-
ton they took pains beforehand to
know that large amounts Of money
and securities We're housed in the
vaults they had marked for violation,
and they rarely came away without
bringing with them booty worthy Of
their enterprise. The records Of thefts
by "yeggmen." the bank vault and safe
burglars Of.to-day. show that they have
taken desperate chances Of being shot
or imprisoned for long terms to blow
open safes containing amounts as
small as $3.50
Few of the old time burglars are
ever seen nowadays. Some are dead,
many have retired to quiet and un-
offending occupations, and here and
there-but not often-is one who can't
resist the habit Of breaking into the
penitentiary. Such, for instance, was
the case Of Dunlap, Of the once cele-
brated burglar partnership Of Scott
and Dunlap. who participated in the
Northampton bank burglary. Scott
died In prison, and wealthy New
York woman spent her time and money
in persistent effort to secure Dun
laps release. in which pursuit she ul-
timately succeeded.
1t was thought that the convict,
given a chance to earn a respecta BILE
living, might take advantage of 1t, and
1t seemed for little time that he had
determined to do so. But a number
Of burglaries in Western cities not far
from Chicago were executed with such
skill that they were obviously the
work of high-class criminal, and sus-
picion soon centered upon Dunlap. He
is now completing term In the Joliet
penitentiaV.
