CHAPTER XII.
Sans New York Triumphs.

Dam 5 NCW rOTh if1ufIipios
Ignoring his mothers protest, Sam
employed a dressmaker and for two
weeks Mrs. Rounds found pleasure in
assisting the seamstress with her
work. Sam had acquainted the lat
ter with his secret and she agreed to
protect it. But his precautions were
in vain.
Like other crimes less difficult to
condone, this one was destined to be
revealed. The preachers wife called
on Mrs. Rounds, and since they had
become very friendly, was shown the
new gown and the black lace shawl.
Whatever of envy arose in that good
woman's breast was lost in surprise
when Mrs. Rounds innocently men
toned the price she had paid for the
silk.
"Sixty-five cents q yard for that
silk" she exclaimed. why, my dear
Mrs. Rounds, you surely must be jest
ing. l had a dress like that when I
was married, and it cost six dollars a
yard. And that lace at thirty cents.
It surely cost five dollars yard, and
perhaps more. That beautiful shawl
must have cost more than a hundred
dollars. l understand now" she con-
tinued in some confusion. your son
intended to surprise you. 1t was very
good Of him and very clumsy in me to
reveal his secret"
When the visitor had departed Mrs.
Rounds looked with awe at the gar
ments spread out before her. A IA
miliar step sounded in the hallway,
and Sam entered, his homely face
rosy with a smile.
I'm back ergain," he said. fondly
embracing his mother. "Admirin' yer
new gown, Ell? Go an put 1t on. an

yer bonnet an shawl. I want ter see
how we looks, dressed up as er real
lady"
She held his hands and looked up,
tears trickling down her faded cheeks.
"You-you told me an awful story,
Samuel" she faltered, 'but-but
don't think you meant to do wrong,
and-and I'll pray for you. You are
very good to me, Samuel, IL you did
break one of the commandments"
THAT didn't break no command
ment," said Sam with contrite grin,
at only kinder bent it er little. Don't
We worry erbout Their cost OF them
clothes. I've made enough money
since I've been away ter pay fer three
more dresses like that air one. It's
none tew good fer We, an | want ye
to wear it just as if we want afraid
of it."
Sans rapidly increasing business
kept him away from home much OF
the time. Mrs. Rounds was busy for
month with her wardrobe. She then
knitted socks for Sam, until he had a
supply SuHclenl 10 last d Hicliluc. III
this crisis of dearth Of work, the
wife of a neighbor was taken i'll with
typhoid fever. There were five small
children in the family, and they were
too poor to employ a nurse.
An hour after Mrs. Rounds heard
the news she had taken charge of the
case. Hour after hour and day after
day she fought the attacks of the in
sidious disease. She cooked the
meals, soothed the crying children,
spoke words of comfort to the dis
tracted husband, performed the house
work, and slept at such rare intervals
as she could find between her multi
tudinous duties. The patient was
convalescent when Sam returned
home. He at once employed nurse
to take his mothers place.
She listened patiently and with a
puzzled smile to Sans rebuking lee
ture.

A Heavy Fine.

Under the Elkins law, any railroad
company which pays rebates in any
form, or any shipper who accepts
them. is liable to fine of from 1000
to $4,000, upon conviction. 1t also
prohibits the carrying of freight at
less than the published tariffs. The
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
empowered to detect and prosecute
yiolators of this statute. President
Knapp of the Commission states that
since this law was passed, rebate pay
ing has been as rare as forgery.

Sans district held a meeting FOR the

Sans district held meeting FOR the
purpose of nominating an alderman
to stand against an incumbent who
had betrayed his trust. Sans name
was proposed with cheers. He was
nominated by reclamation and escort
ed to the platform.
IF honesty is good policy in bust
ness, as they say it is" he declared,
'it should be good thing in politics.
Those who know me know that I'm
not politician, and those that don't
know me will mighty soon find it out.
The only promise can make is that
If I am elected-and | calculate to be

cheating my neighbors as an alder
man, than l would of cheating them
In selling potatoes or cabbages."
Samuel Lemuel Rounds was tri-
umphantly elected alderman by the
largest majority ever cast for candi
date in his district.

said, when he had ended "They are

The Bible says you must visit the
sick when they're afflicted. You won't
let me do any work here in the house,
and l must do something"
Mrs. Rounds was the first to learn
of sickness or of trouble in any fam
lily for miles around, and first to re-
spond. She officiated at childbirths,
or with tender fingers closed the eyes
of the dead and stitched their shrouds.
When children had Group or measles,
the neighbors sent, not for the doctor,
but for Mrs. Rounds. She found re-
taxation in sewing for any one who
would accept her services.
Sam made several successful ven
lures in the New York horse market
and decided to locate there. He
bought cozy house on the East Side,
fronting small park, and installed
his mother as mistress of the estab-
lishment. His business prospered.
Having firmly established his posi-
ton as a shipper and dealer in horses,
he turned his attention to the commits
sion business. Taking advantage of
a shortage in the cranberry crop, he
bought large part of the available
supply and cleared thousands of dol
lars in consequence of his sagacity.
He then embarked in the produce and
commission business on large scale
and scored another success.
At the age of thirty-five, having
amassed a competency, Sam Rounds
determined to improve what he
termed his book education" Four
winter terms in the Rehoboth public
school gave him all of which he could
boast in the way of erudition. He
therefore began a course of study In
a night school, which he attended four
evenings in the week. He joined
debating society, and became a mem

ther hearing by a magistrate here to-

Mann came here last November

Mann was brought from Annapolis
and Lyons appeared against him to-

GERMAN MINERS
IN ANGRY MOOD
Embittered by Failure Of
Operators to Answer Their
Demand for a Shorter Day

BERLIN, Jan. 7.-Meetings OF the
representatives of 100000 miners en-
ployed in the mines of the Rhenish
Westphalian Coal Syndicate are being
held throughout the district regarding
the silence Of the members of the syn
dicate on the workmen's request for
different system of measuring the
hours of work. The mines are under
individual company management, the
whole allotted product being marketed
by the syndicate Two hundred and
fifty. men in one mine refused to work
to-day, but general strike is not yet
in imminent prospect, although the
miners are embittered by the long
controversy.
The miners ask that the hours of
work shall be measured from the time
of arrival at the pits mouth until they
reach the pits mouth on returning.
instead of from the time of reaching
the work gallery until quitting time.
The men affirm that It takes forty-five
minutes each way, going into and leav-
ing the deep sunk shafts and long gal
leries, so that a nominal eight-hour
day becomes q day of nine and a half
hours They asked for the first year a
nine-hour day, for the second year
eight and one-quarter hours, and for
the third year ana tnerea1ter eight
hours calculated between getting into
and coming out of the entrance.
The miners aver that the diggings
are more unhealthy than ever and that
Sc per cent of the men are now dis
eased According to official reports
the average life of miners is less than
formerly. The miners leaders urge
moderation and the observance of Or
der The public generally is deeply in
terested in the result of the dispute.
The coal syndicate's contract, which
went into effect in April, 1904, for
twelve years, fixes the allotment of
each mine for the entire period. The
result is that the powerful mining COM
panies are mining economically, buying
up the weaker ones and closing them,
supplying their allotment from new
shafts of the large mines. The work.
men of the small mines are forced to
sell their cottages at a sacrifice and
move to the large mines.
There are Government representa-
tives at the meetings Of the miners and
police and troops are held ready to
suppress disturbances.

Enormous Loss on the East
Coast of England Follows

LONDON, Jan. IA tidal food on
the east coast this morning caused an
enormous amount of damage at water
ing places from Scarborough as far
south as Dover. Eight hundred feet
of the pier at Scarborough, which cost
S175,000, were swept away, and the
promenades on the sea front were
broken up. Nearly all parts of the
town of Yarmouth were inundated,
hundreds of houses were flooded and
the inhabitants were obliged to vacate
the ground floors. The esplanade and
beach gardens were swept bare. Big
blocks of concrete were tossed about,
wrecking everything they came in con-
tact with.
Similar destruction was caused else
swhere. Seawails were washed away
and waves swept over adjoining es-
Il -l'lanades, destroying numerous costly
permanent attractions, inundating
houses; churches and stores and caus-
ing immense losses both to corpora
tions and individuals.

mouth of the River Elbe and large de-
tachments from the neighboring garri-
sons are at work strengthening it. The
damage already done is heavy.
Shipping generally was warned of
the approach of the storm. At Cux-

DESPERATE MAN
LANDS IN JAIL
John Umland, a Bartender,
illustrates Plan of Bold
Burglar in Plucky Manner
THIEF TRIES TO SHOOT
Pistol Hangs Fire and Pur-
suer Grapples With Thug
and Soon OverpoWers Him
THIEF TRIES TO SHOOT

A shrewdly planned robbery was
frustrated yesterday by John Umland,
a bartender employed by Claus Tiede-
mann. a grocer at Polk and Turk
streets. Cmland broke open a door be-
hind which the robber had bolted him,
and, though a pistol was snapped at
him by the thug. the plucky bartender
followed the fellow along Polk street
Dodging under the weapon, Umland
grappled with the robber. DR.. Charles
Flury went to the bartender's assist
ance and the two held the thug until
the arrival of Policeman Cracke. At
the City Hall station the thug gave the
name Of John Archer.
Archer's plan was q clever one, and
would have been successful but for the
persistence of Umland. Archer entered
the barroom In the rear Of the grocery
and strolled quietly into the lavatory.
Say" called he, this place is flooded. -
Umland hurried into the layatory to
investigate. The instant he entered
Archer darted out and bolted the bar
tender in. The robber then went to the
cash register and wrenched open the
drawer. Umland threw his whole
open before Archer had time to secure
the 5000 In the register. The robber
fed and the bartender followed, raising
the cry OF stop thief"
Umland gained upoh the thug, who
suddenly halted and pointed pistol
at him. The trigger snapped. but the
cartridge did not explode. Before
Archer had time to try another shot
Umland grappled with him and the pair
fell to the pavement. Then it was that
DR.. Charles Flury went to Umland's s
and the pair had Archer
beaten into submission by the time
Cracke arrived.
Archer was charged with burglary
and assault with deadly weapon. He
admitted trying to rob the place. say
ing that he was penniless and des-
perate.
c. Terry, who was near the store
when the robbery was attempted, says
that he saw q man watching on the
outside while Archer was within. The
police are looking for this man, whom
they believe was confederate of the
thug. The manner of executing the
robbery shows that it was
carefully planned.
