Strlnger, author OF The Wire Tap
pers." etc. illustrated by Arthur

& Co.
The distinguishing characteristics Of the
wire Tappers' are continued in this Sc
quel, which Is, it may be said with pleas
ure. vastly more interesting and satisfying
than is usually the case with the after
math of literary success.
During a perusal of the "Wire Tappers''
the ordinarily constituted reader felt that
he had one foot on live third rail, but he
will be convinced, after reading Phantom
Wires" that he has been holding an arc
light by the tail. The literature Of excite
ment has supplanted the excitement Of lit
erature, and Mr.. Stringer is one Of the
ablest opponents Of heart-failure fiction.
It was terribly distressing the way the
wire tappers left James Durkin and his
Frances, their plans for a new life but half
formed, their very ideas in q most chaotic
state and their finances not even sufficient
for light housekeeping. There was an in
evitable lingering doubt left in the read
er's mind as to whether Jim and Frank
wouldn't perhaps grow weary OF the simple
life and start In again, playing with cleo
Just to pass the time away. But Phantom
Wires nails the future to a plank. When
the reader lays down the book, combs out
his involuntary pompadour, smoOths down
his goose flesh and breathes normally once
more he has no doubts and no fears. For
he has left the electric couple walking
hand in hand down pleasant, shady lane
Of life. trying to think what they'll name
the baby.

Set Robins Broken Leg.

About six weeks ago Hugh AIcGill Of
Lock Haven, Pa, noticed an old robin
fluttering in the grass in front Of his
home. After some effort he caught 1t
with his hands and discovered that one
of the robins legs was broken, Taking
redbreast into the house, he washed
the bones, applied spllnts and careful
" bandaged the leg. To his surprise
the bones knitted, and soon the leg was
found to be as good as ever. The robin
was given its freedom, but in apprecla-
ton Of the kind act 1t comes about the
house many times every day and has
become SO tame that it will eat crumbs
from AIcGlll's hand. The bird has a
nest in a nearby tree and on being call
ed by McGill Invariably flies to him.

as a savage. She never saw school,
IL she ever heard Of one. She did not
know what the word meant
The twelve years Of Eleanora's slav-
cry have held nothing but hard, bitter
work. In rough clothing, sometimes
mans trousers and boots, she was
obliged to fell trees with an Ak, to
guide the OK team that drew the
pillow across the hard, stony fields, to
dig bitches and dam streams and to
care for the farm animals.
She received no reward She was
permitted no pleasure. A Shakedown
bed on an attic floor and scant al
lowance Of food were all she got out Of
her years Of labor.
Eleanora since her arrival In Rich
mond not long ago has been working
to support herself, while her friends
are investigating her history. She
laughed like a child when she received
her first wages. She seldom saw any
money and had never had q cent OF her
own before,
There came to Richmond commit
tee of farmers from the Virginia hills
in Chesterfield, and they told the story
to ]. Kent Rawley, an attorney. He
journeyed out into the country and In
vestlgated. From what BIO saw and
heard lie became convinced Of the truth
Of the tale. Then the farmers and
nelghbors who knew Of Eleanora's suf-
fertugs contributed from their small
savings enough to retain Mr. Rawley.
He is soon to bring suit against Flea
nora's late master,
The girl was instructed to run away
from her place of captivity and come
to Richmond. She did so aud has been
in good hands ever since.
It was on the farm Of ]. ], Cawley, a
dalryman, that Eleanora spent her life,
and against CawIey the suit will be
brought, alleging he bought her when
she was child and has kept her In
peonage ever since.
From Information and rumor picked
up from various sources Lawyer Raw
ley has pleced together story some
thing like Ills:
Twenty,Ole years ago a man and a
woman lived In an old house near the
hut Of old Palmore, the hermit Of Ches-
terrified county. A child was born to
them, a little girl, who was called
Eleanora. The fathers name was Gull
der or Gulden. The mother was Lizzie
Murrln or Morrell. within a month
after the birth Of the child the father
disappeared. Soon afterwarl the moth
er vanished, too, and in some fashion
the baby was cared for by the hermit
Nine years luter Palmore retired still
farther into the woods. But before he
went, the story has 1t, he offered the
child to Cawley for IS and an old
broken down horse that the dalryman
mad turned out to die.
Cawley, It is said, bought the girl,
gave the hermit the money and horse,
and there Is a story Of signed and
sealed paper passing between the Zen
over the bargain.
at all events Eleanora has been on
the Cawley place ever since She learn
ed that she was not the Cawleys' child
and asked them who her parents were,
but they never told her. Neither would
Palmore, whom she saw OCCASIONALLY.
Long ago she ceased trying to learn
her Identity and became q hopeless,
splrltless slave. She did not even have
ambition enough to escape She did
not know there were cities and towns
near Chesterfield county.
