Wyoming was going to attack the
treasure to arrive that night. II was
rich cargo of gold dust and coin that
the express company was hurryine
across the plains.
The manager wasn't frightened a
bit. He put the treasure in round
house made of timbers, almost air
tight, and pierced with holes on every
side, just large enough for a man to
sight his gun through. Twenty men,
each with sawed-off gun and several
kegs of slugs and powder. were piled in
on top of the treasure and the men told
to shoot everything in sight.
The plaza in front of the hotel was
cleared, and about two o'clock next
morning the attack opened and the
defenders began pumping lead into
the invaders. 1t was a great fight
and for few minutes there was
continuous roar of rifles and shotguns.
The air was mixed with fire, slugs
and old nails. The boys won a great
victory for the express company and

in Search of the Chamois.

Brussels, Belgium.-Leopold II.
king of the Belgians and sovereign
of the Congo Free State, may wsu
claim to be the most versatile Of con-
tinental crowned heads. There was 4
time when this distinction was popu-
larry attributed to Emperor William,

The yankee of monarchs," as The
Belgians have affectionately nick
named their ruler, is, above all, .
modern captain of industry. His dar-
ing speculations fully entitle him to-
the sobriquet by which he is familiar
ly. known to his subjects. His very
versatility has a transatlantic flavor,
for the laurels he has won in such
varied fields of human activity -
finance. diplomacy, literature, art and
sport appear. more in the line of an
American millionaire than of Euro
pean monarch.
Latterly the king seems to have
been intent on proving that he might
have acquired repute as an architect
had he been of humber birth. He
has succeeded in making Brussels
one of the most beautiful architecture
ally Of continental capitals.
What Baron Hausmann did for
Paris under the second empire Leo
pold ii. has planned for Brussels. He
has designed some of the most artis-
tic public buildings recently erected
in Brussels, such as the new national
bank, the lovely Flemish theater In
gem of its kind) and the new royal
palace of Brussels. This place, of the
purest classic style, is now nearing
completion and promises. to be one
of the most sumptuous and aesthetic
abodes on the continent.

and declared that he was glad he
was a criminal. His, only regret, he
said, was that he had allowed the
morphine habit to gain such a hold
on him that he had not become the
greatest criminal of the age.

bad in him won.
Much of his downfall Patterson at
tributes to his long study of the
psychology of crime So thoroughly.
he says, has he mastered the subject
that he regards Macdonald as almost
a tyro, although the latters works are
standard the world over.
In his early years Patterson fought
against his inherent desire to take
what belonged to his fellow man be-
cause of the disgrace that he feared
his father, mother and other loved
ones would suffer from his actions.
When he met, loved and wooed the
woman of his choice, for her sake
and for the sake of the children that
were born to them, he continued to
wage the unequal battle. 1t was he
redity versus environment, he de-
clares. Heredity finally won.
That is the excuse which the once
famed physician and instructor gives
for his present condition. From
man of prominence and an heir to

been so complete that the police
found him living in the most abject
poverty in dingy room in the lower
