.Jud Fishes
Exciting Career
By DAVID NJ. CAREY

TO PUT a whole novel into brief
story Is a pretentious undertake
ing. but it can sometimes be done by
cutting out descriptions, comments and
the pretty sayings that the writer
thinks could not but please the world
For the sake of those who now de-
serve nothing but commentator there
is an adoption OF fictitious names, all
the rest being q veritable relation OF
facts.
hudson Fiske had gone through Yale
His chums all called him "Jud," and
It is not amiss to follow the example
of his friends. He was from an old
family of wealth. His allowance was
foolishly large and red streak would
come nearer than any other one sym
boil to characterizing his college ca
reer. He gave many a night feast and
the total of the bills was larger than
that of many a prosperous family.
He loved gambling and lost much. He
loaned a great deal Of money that was
never returned. In short, he was
good fellow and plucked all along the
line.
After graduating Jud was sent
abroad and for two years helped to en-
liven the ola world at the same time
acquiring considerable knowledge, for
he was one of those chaps who come
very near to learning by absorption.
Through some mysterious gift or in
spiration he was frequently enabled
to illuminate a subject over which in
structors ha0 differed for years. Among
his deceptive peculiarities was face
as fair as q woman's, silken brown
hair that waved in way to make
many q lady envious, unstudied grace
and small, white hands. But he had
muscles of steel, could concentrate all
his strength In q single effort, had a
tigerish quickness OF movement and
was wonderfully skilled in the ways Of
offsnse and defense. During his visit to
the continent he pinked saucy young
German ofieer who resented the fact
that Jud would not salute in a cafe
when ordered to do so; disarmed a
Jealous Italian youth and pHnctured the
sword arm of a Frenchman who ques-
toned American bravery. On his way
home he was in London long enough
to knock out q bully who provoked q
quarrel Just because Jud looked so ef-
Terminate and easy.
After returning he had not been with
the family two weeks before he was
fathoms deep in love with the pretty
governess. In month he proposed to
her and was accepted with the pro-
yiso that parental consent was given
to the marriage Then came the fire.
works. His proud mother had been a
shop girl and his proud father had in
herited the bulk Of his fortune. There
was no chance to deny that the gov
srness was better woman than Jud
was a man, but the prejudice OF caste
takes root In strange soil and the pa
ternal ultimatum was that If the son

thinking and self-abnegation.
WORK OF TICKET FoRGERs
Tickets Skillfully Altered and Manip-
ulated to Deceive Railway
Conductors.

On April Is, 1903, your bureau submit
ted to US a large number of altered and
manipulated tickets and passes OF the
terminal lines entering indianapolis,
Ind, says the Pinkerton report to the
Railway Ticket Bureau,
A careful and thorough examination
showed these tickets to have been most
skilfully altered, conductors Of the varl-
Gus lines in question having readily &C
cepted them for passage. A large num-
Der of these tickets had been used for
passage two, three and as often as four
times, the method employed in their use
being as follows Ticket brokers would
purchase tickets from Indianapolis to
stations short distance beyond Cinciu-
natl. The destination of a passenger
would be, for instance, Cincinnati, and
on arrival his ticket would only show
the cancellations by conductors up to
that point. The passenger would then
return the ticket by mail to the broker
from whom it had been purchased. The
brokers would plug up" the conductors
cancellations and resell the ticket. This
operation was repeated as frequently as
the condition of the ticket would permit,
then it was destroyed,
Il became evident, also, that regular
card tickets, properly cancelled by con-
ductors and legitimately used for pas
sage to st. Louis, were being disposed Of
to brokers and subsequently manipulate
ID and used for passage a second and
third time by the following method: The
cancelled tickets were split and their
backs destroyed; next local card tickets
bearing the depot validating stamp were
purchased, their faces destroyed and the
faces Of the cancelled tickets skillfully
pasted on what remained Of the local
tickets.
Conductors cancellations would not
show, and to further hide all traces OF
alterations the brokers would punch the
letters "B c." signifying baggage
checked" where previously the conduct
ors' cancellation punch appeared. Any
other deficiency in connection with the
tickets would be carefully supplied by
fine pen work.

rented rooms over German saloon,

because his singing, storytelling.
genial ways and ability to quiet dis
orderly patrons made him worth more
than he cost. One day he made the
discovery that the Western Union tele-
graph wires crossed the roof over his
head. He tapped them, with the as
sistanca of a practical man whom he had
cultivated in the saloon. Having ad-
vance information on every race he
coined money and gained the reputation
Of a man whose judgment 1t was good
to follow.
One night the tapped wire gave him
this; 'Drura is dangerously sick and
begs that you come at once"
The telegram was signed by his
mother and addressed to him in his
own name, which he had not used for
months. Had it gone to the main offcs
he would never have called for it, and
could not have been found Drura was
the governess and the only woman he
loved. 1t was call from the past; q
call that he must answer. The interim

time possible. His strong presence was
the medicine needed by the loyal gov

Cheap College Degrees

The familiar charge that the degree
LII. D. is bestowed with too lavish a
hand by colleges and universities is
likely to gain force from a recent oc-
currence. The South Carolina college,

Oyster, Aged 25, a Foot Long.

A wholesale oyster dealer was sizing
up new invoice yesterday. There are
some old fellows in that. lot" he said,
as he showed to one side some abnor-
mally large ones. He picked out one
and measured 1t. The shell was eight
inches long "The age of an oyster has
absolutely no effect upon its quality"
he said. 1T doesn't get tough with ago
like the higher order of animals. How
long does an oyster live? Well. I could
not say exactly. have known Maurice

undisturbed in a neglected cove would
live for rs years before 1t finally died
