Fugitives Are Ostracized.
Greene and his wife live in a splendid
ly-turnished residence in the most fash
ionable quarter of Quebec, near the
Governors garden. They are waited
upon by several servants, but they see
little or no company. In fact they are
bitterly ostracized, and the only persons
with whom they are seen, though re-
spectacle enough, are not Of the better
class of local society. They are occa-
sionally visited by relatives from their
former home, such as children by Gay
nor's former marriage, but apart from
these they see very few persons except
or business.
Gaynor spends most of his time in the
barroom, where he is tolerated for his
openhandedness by lawyers and poll
ticians who drop in from time to time.
Mrs. Gaynor spends a good deal of her
time in driving and horse riding, in
which latter sport she has been taking
lessons from an officer of the militia
cavalry. Mrs. Gaynor is an occasional
attendant at st. Andrews, the local
Presbyterian church, while Gaynor him
| self is once in awhile to be seen at st.
Patrick's Roman Catholic church. It
is obvious that Gaynor has still plenty of
money. Some time ago he dabbled in
stock speculation, but he has abandoned
that amusement now. On the other
hand, Capt. Greene, who lives with his
wife and servants in an equally fife
house in the same quarter of the city,
is practically a recluse and sees nobody
but on the strictest business, applying
himself entirely to study. In spite Of
their money, in spite of the clique of
lawyers and politicians who have, for
pay, helped them to defy justice, public
sentiment in Quebec regards these two
fugitives with scorn. Greene alone
seems to understand the real bitterness
of his lot. And now that the privy coun-
Gil has overturned the plot by which he
| gained his freedom, he is more tactiurn
! than ever.
How Government was Fleeced.
To understand this extraordinary case
1t is necessary to recall its events. On
April "a, 1883, Capt. Oberlin M. Carter,
of the United States corps Of engineers,
took charge Of the improvement of riv-
|ers and harbors at Savannah, Ca, for
which work millions of dollars had beet
appropriated. He so managed matters
that the Atlantic Construction com
pany, consisting of John f. Gaynor,
Capt. Greene and E. H. and W. T. Gay
nor, got control CT the contract.
In May, 1897, Capt. Carter was ap-
pointed military attache Of the United
States legation in London against his
protest. Capt, Gillette, the engineer

Quebec.-As the result of the recent
decision of the British privy council, two
fugitives from American justice will
probably soon be taken to the United
States to stand trial for their serious Of
tense against the laws.
Years ago, before ~eXtradition treaties
had been arranged with European coun-
tries, the Canadian dominion or the
South and Central American republics,
it was a common practice of American
criminals to seek refuge outside the boz
ders of the States" Canada, being
easy of access, was a favorite harbor for
embezzlers and defaulters, and many
there defied the efforts of justice to bring
them to TRIAL.
Even after agreements had been eff
fected with most of the countries, men
who had decamped with considerable
sums preferred taking their chances
with the extradition laws and with
government officials whose decisions
they could often influence with their ill
gotten wealth, rather than remain at
home where certain punishment awaited
them.

jamin D. Greene, who. together with
Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter were indicted
in Savannah, Ga, December 8, 1899,
charged with embezzlement and de-
frauding the United States government
In the performance of government con-
tracts for the improvement of the Sa-
'vannah river and other river and har-
Dor work in that district, the illicit
profits being estimated at 81, 900, 900.
Gaynor and Greene were arrested in
New York. They contested %extradition
to Georgia and when the United States
commissioners decided that they must
go to that state and plead to the indict-
ments they fed to Canada. They had
been at liberty on $4,000 bail each, and
this was forfeited.
Efforts to extradite Gaynor and
Greene from Montreal were progressing
favorably and the extradition commits
sion was sitting in Montreal when Gay
nor and Greene went to Quebec. A
question arose as to whether they could
be brought back and detectives kid
naped them and took them to Montreal.
Their wa a big legal fight over this ac-
ton and a Quebec Judge issued a writ of
habeas corpus which was served On the
jailer at Montreal, who delivered up the
prisoners without notification to the ex-
tradition tribunal and permitted them
to be rushed back to Quebec. Efforts to
quash the writ of habeas corpus under
which they had been returned were de-
MED by Justice Caron.
After a long legal controversy Gaynor
anl Greene obtained their liberty with
in the limits of the Province of Quebec.
The United States government then ap-
pealed to the privy council of England,
the highest court in that country.
According to the. decision the Amer
ican government can now continue it's
work of securing the ~extradition OF
Gaynor and Greene. The whole ques-
ton Of their return to the United States
is now in the hands Of the Canadian
extradition commission at Montreal.
Judge Caron, Of Quebec, set the two men
at liberty on the ground that the extradi-
ton treaty did not cover the charge
made against them, which was CON
spiracy to embezzle. The privy council
has decided that Judge Caron had no
right to interfere, and that the crime for
which the two Americans were indicted
comes within the terms OF the treaty.
Woman Causes a Quarrel.
During their five years residence in
the Dominion these two fugitives, al
though living in luxury, were socially
~ostracised. For a long time after they
fed to Quebec the exiles lived in sumptu-

A large number of woodsmen have

Grown to young manhood, Grier one night felt

He was fretful this evening, annoyed
that the power should apparently have
escaped him. He dreaded, | believe, lest
the tremendous strain of the incidents in
the Broadway restaurant should have
permanently impaired the representative
membranes and nerve-cells which were
called into play.
None of us had the slightest suspicion
of what had really happened. namely.
that Kari himself, by perpleXing his
ordinary faculties with doubts anent
pretty Maggie Hutchinson, had set up a
hostile influence (using the phrase solely
in its magnetic meaning) which tenn
porarilv benumbed the delicate organism
of his sixth sense.
1t took him sometime to acquire the
exact poise of mental placidity most
favorable to the exercise of his unique
faculties. Meanwhile, a startling con-
frmation of his visions came in an
unexpected and prosaic manner.
Hooper and l were awaiting him at the
door of the Mitre, drive to Woodstock
being the order of the afternoon, when
Karl came to us in great hurry, his lips
apart and his big blue eyes shining with
excitement
Say" whispered Hooper, the Merlin
has arrived and things have happened!'
And Karl actually had received this
most surprising telegram from his mother
in Scotland:
Mrs Hutchinson and daughter Maggie arrive
in England to-day from States They proceed
direct to Pail Mall Hotel. London, and are most
anxious to see YOU at once. Wire them and

FROM SAME BOX.
Where the Foods Come From.

Where tho Foods Come From.
"I.ook here, waiter, honest now, don't
YOU dip every one Of these faxed break
fast foods out of the same box?" We'll
YES, boss, we duz, all 'cept Grape-Nuts,
cause that don't look like the others
and people know 'zackly what Grape
Nuts looks like. But there's bout
dozen different ones named on the bill
of fare, and they are all thin rolled
flakes so it don't make any difference
which one a man calls for we just take
out the order from lone box"
This talk led to an investigation.
Dozens Of factories sprung up about
three years ago making various kinds
Of breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast food-Grape-Nuts These
concerns after precarious existence,
nearly all failed, leaving thousands Of
boxes Of their foods in mills and ware
houses. These were in several in
stances bought up for song by spec
ulators, and sold out to grocers and ho-
tells for little or nothing. This process
of working off this old stock has been
slow. One will see the names on
menus of faxed foods that went out
of business a year and a half or two
years ago In a few cases where the
abandoned factories have been bought
up. there is an effort to resuscitate the
defunct, and by copying the style of
advertising Of Grape-Nuts seek to in
fluence people to purchase. But the
public has been educated to the fact
that all these thin faxed foods are
simply soaked wheat or oats rolled
thin and dried out and packed They
are not prepared like Grape Nuts, in
which the thorough baking and other
operations which turn the starch part
of the wheat and barley into sugar oc-
cupy many hours and result in food
so digestible that small Infants thrive
on it while it also contains the select
ed elements of Phosphate of Potash
and Albumen that unite in the body to
produce the soft gray substance in
brain and nerve centers. There's
reason for Grape Nuts and there have
been many limitations, a few of the
article itself, but more of the kind and
character Of the advertising. Imitators
are always counterfeiters and their
printed and written statements cannot
be expected to be different than their
goods.
