CHAPTER XIV.

Tuesday, Dec. 1.-Under this head my
diary Is a blank. l will try to set out
the events of that day as calmly as l
can. May God in His mercy help me,
in His good time, to forget them!
NV father seemed no worse in the
morning, though by my persuasion he
kent to his bed. His own room was on
the ground foor-for he had been for
hidden to climb stairs-and looked out
upon the little garden at the back of the
cottage.
Marjory had begged off for the after
noon. and | agreed, though this would
leave me alone to serve my visitor. How
ever. tea-making is no very difficult mat
fer. and to pacify me Marjory had cook
ed one of her best cakes. She left short
lv after two; Mr.. Hermann arrived half
an hour later
had not expected to see him so early,
and was copying out some letters which
nv father had dictated, when he knock
ed at the door. AS I showed him into
the room, he CHANGED to pass the table
on which they lay.
"What a beautiful hand your father
writesw he said politely.

Gold.

The first mention which we have of
gold is In the eleventh verse of the sec
ond chapter Of Genesis, or in other
words four thousand and four years
before Christ.
Gold was used as money by the an
Client Egyptians at very early date.
Herodotus tells that the invention of
the coinage of gold belongs to Lydia.
about 75O b. G. Authorities conflict
about the first coinage Of gold. Some
say 1t was Mlletus, and some the Per-
slams, but there are no records to show
just when.

5TENSLAND AND HIS PLACE OF CAPTURE.
Paul Stensland's arrest at Tangier
will serve useful purpose in dispell-
Ing the popular impression which seems
to prevail that criminals are safe from
capture If they can only manage to
reach some country which Is not bound
by any extradition treaty with the one
from which they have fled. Anything
that can bring home to men inclined to
offend against the laws Of the land
that nowhere In the world can they
find safety from the avenglng hand of
Justice Is calculated to act as a deter
rent Of crime, and Is therefore an ad-
vantage to the commonwealth. Under
the circumstances the capture Of the
defaultlng president Of the Milwaukee
Avenue State Bank, of Chicago, in
Morocco and his surrender to the Unit
ed States authorities bv the Moorish
authorities cannot be made too widely
known.
The fact Of the matter Is that the
principle of eXtradition exists among
all civilized powers, even when for one
reason or another 1t is not covered by
any hard and fast international con-
vention, and requests for the surrender
or criminals addressed by one govern
ment to another are granted on the
ground of international courtesy and
comfy, even In the absence of treaty
stipulations. This practice not only
prevails among the Christian countries
OF Europe and Of this western hemi-
sphere, but has likewise been to all in
tents and purposes adopted by Asiatic
and north African States, such as, for
Instance, Morocco. Thus the United
States has on a number Of occasions
arrested and surrendered foreign fugi.
tive criminals here in response to ap.
plicatlons from governments with
which no extradition arrangements ex
listed at the time. President Lincoln
In 1863 caused the arrest and the sur
render to the Spanish authorities of 9

lieutenant governor of a province In
Cuba, was charged with a number OF
atrocious crimes against the common
law, among the minor accusations be.

made in the United States Senate call

matter, arguing that, in the absence OF
treaty Of extradition and of con
gressional legislation touching the sur

Spanish government, he had exceeded
his powers as chief magistrate. TIC

Fireworks,

Fireworks originated In the thir-
teenth century, along with the evolu-
tion of powder and cannon. They were
first employed by the Florentlnes, and
later the use Of fireworks became pop
ular In Rome at the creation Of the
Popes.
The first fireworks which resemble
those which we see nowadays were
manufactured by Tore, an Italian
artist, and displayed in Paris In 1854.

effect that the President had given up
Arguelles under the rules of interna-
tional comfy, which prescribe as a
matter of courtesy the compliance with
demands of this kind addressed by one
civilized power to another, and he add
ed that Mr.. Lincoln had likewise act
ed In the affair In accordance with the
spirit Of the constitution of the United
States, which Is not in favor of the
principle Of offering asylum to fugi-
tive criminals from abroad, but dis
tinctly averse thereto. A number Of
years later the Spanish government re-
turned the compliment by surrender
ing to the United States "Boss" Tweed,
although 1t was only some time after
ward that an extradition treaty be-
tween this country and Spain was con-
cluded.
Morocco Unsafe.
Stensland's case Is an instance of
what may be done where no extradi-
tion treaty exists At the present time
there are In force extradition treaties
between the United States and thirty
two countries. With other countries,
notably China, Egypt, Greece, Persia,
Portugal and Siam, the United States
has not negotiated treaties Of this
character. This Is why the globe trot-
ter finds collection of adventurers in
Shanghai, Cairo, Athens and Lisbon,
although it must be admitted that
these adventurers usually are Of class
who do this country kindness by quit
ting it. While many Of them are
wanted" by the police, they are not
wanted badly" for their offenses usu-
ally have been against individuals who
do not feel disposed to hunt them down
all over the globe.
/ A study of the various extradition
treaties in force between this and 9TH
er countries gives a fair indication Of
how foreign peoples regard some
crimes. For instance, man who COM
mits burglary in the United States
cannot be extradited from Austria, Ba-
varia, Baden, Haiti or Prussia, yet
even Luxembourg, Of which, doubtless,
the burglar never heard, would give
him up for this offense. All countries
with which these treaties are in force
will give up counterfelters, yet only
two out Of thirty-two ountries-Guate-
mala and Mexico-will hand over a
person charged with having counter
feiters' tools In his possession. All are
content to give up forger, but a per-
son charged with fraud cannot be cas-
lily extradited If the property involved
is less than 5000. Bigamy, apparently,
is not considered very serious crime
by some nations. Naturally Turkey
would not permit the extradition of a
bigamist, and In only eight countries
out Of thirty-two is 1t unsafe for a
much-married fugitive to be found.
Even Great Britain will not give up a
bigamlst who is trying to escape the
laws Of another country.

Reading ON A Train.

morning and evening paper. or mag

American While this is not. indeed
the best practice for the eyes, II seems
pity to waste so much time which
might be turned to good account.
Much of the annoyance which comes
from train reading is due to the jolting
OF the cars, which continually knocks
the printed line out OF focus with the
eve.
This can be in some degree obviated
by laying card or some other object
below the line TO be read and moving
II steadily downward while reading.
This acts as a guide 10 the eye. and

who have tried il say that 1t wonderful.
