MIR. Holmes qualifications with this

He behaved to the errlng bookbinder

in the habit OF repaying this hospitali-

Mr.. Holmes set him up, but In vain.
The only charm that life has for this
extraordinary being is the opportuni-

strange battles in strange places, is this organization with the girl commander. Half round the world have her cam paigns circled. From the London slums to the Canadian wilds, northward to the snows of the Klondike, southward to the Mexican border, from the Atlantic to the Pacific has she dotted ner forces. The value of It's band instruments alone amounts to the staggering total of $400,- 000. It has won and is winning great victories with great labor but with little publicity
 The recent American visit of it's found- CT, General Booth, brought the world up- right with a blinking stare before the plans he calmly checked off on his finfiers. With a smiling disregard of his seventy eight years and the snow of age in his hair and beard, the man who for more than third of century has fought the battles of war In times of peace enumer- ated a list of projects he hopes still to accomplish, which have given even tho American public a new sensation. And 1t is the same fire that Is also burning in his fourth daughter, Evangeline, who is so occupied that she seldom finds time to use the last two syllables of her name!
 Mounted on dry goods box so that she could reach the level of her audience, Eva Booth made her first speech to men and women of the gutter, with red, bloat- ed faces and sneering eyes.
 Tt is worth your life to venture into that neighborhood!" the police argued when she planned an excursion into the worst section of London.
 She said nothing, but the next day q ragged young woman selling matches made her way into the deepest of those scowling haunts of vice. Barred from the neighborhood in her real character she hid her identity under the rags of the snms and mingled with the people of the underworld as one of themselves. For months she lived the life of the alleys and the attics, selling packets of matches and crumpled flowers to main tain her disguise-the while ministering to the sick and the dying, filling exhaust | ed larders, giving a helping hand to the fallen, averting angry blows of drunken | husbands and fathers. When she an- i nounced her real character so great was 1 the impression she had made that the | Salvation Army meeting in the heart of
 the most notorious district in London, was 1 packed.
 Her reward came in the title that fol | lowed her back to her home, the angel | of the slums," and siege of brain fever l that brought her daily to deaths door,

front of the car, neatly as you might help yourself to an olive. Or freight, like steel girders or an entire bridge truss, may have toppled from a passing freight car and landed across tracks.
 On the other hand, the wreck may be a serious one with a score of the first cars knocked into flinders, and thirty cars another or stood upside down or on end, and scattered about the scenery as a boy might scatter a tin toy train by kicking it across his playroom.
 Whatever the condition, like so many terriers sailing into @ pit of rats, the wreekers dive into the work. There ap- pears to be no head nor tail to the attack, and yet every man knows his place; the one man who is supreme, the one who de- cides at single glance what to do, and the one upon whose official shoulders rests this mountain of junk and wreck age Is called wreckmaster
 The wreck may be an appalling sight which, it migbt seem, would require a week to clear. But within five minutes after the wrecker arrives things begin to move-not piece by piece or singly, but by heaps and mounds and dozens. If con- ditions warrant, the, wreclrnaster sends for the repair gang and within an hour or two from 100 to 200 Italians or Japanese swarm like flies over the landscape laying and tamping ties, spiking rails so quickly that you can fairly see the tracks creep over the ground around the obstruction. And while this temporary switch Is going down. the wreclSers are performing mira eles in the line of clearing things While the crane crew burrows and tunnels and crawls beneath the locomotive to pass chains about the big machine to remove this most formidable of all Instructions, the rest of the men have cut off the wreck train locomotive to put her to work Hawsers are passed about heaps of wreclxage piled high as a barn.

 Though information of it reached Ruef Ill roundabout way, he believed himself so securely protected by the ineriminatoa of his tools and dupes that he could af- ford to ignore 1t. As principal sponsor for Heney and Burns stands Rudolph spreckels. SprecSels is a son of Claus Spreckles, the sugar magnate. When he was approached on the matter of the impending investigation he gave S1OO0o0 and pledged himself to furnish as much more as was required. It was suggested by one of his club friends that the in quisitors would probably find occasion to indict some corporation officials who might be very close to him socially. Spreekefs face turned serious on the in stant. T am in this thing for blood" he replied. If I find my own father in mess like this III send him to the penitentiary."

Should the wreck be in the open and m erely that of a freight train he thanks his stars. It is the coal wreck with it's mountains of coal that must be shoveled away by hand which the wrecker de- tests, according to the writer in Apple tons. And if this train piles itself up within cut where throwing overheard Is impossible, and from where every stick of timber and every pound of coal must be hauled, sometimes for the distance of mile, then the limit of the wrecker's profanity Is reached.

 What the locomotive cannot pull out of the way, the crane lifts. Within twenty minutes after arrival it's donkey engine tugs and puffs and shorts at the bent, battered leviathan weighing a hun dred or more tons and lying on it's back, wheels in air and nose pointing in the direction it came from. Up comes the ponderous heap of junk, almost imper ceptbly at first but steadily as if an un- seen hand were lifting 1t into space. Wheels of it's car clamped to the rails to prevent capsizing, the crane groans and trembles under the enormous strain, but in something like an hour the sorry look ing victim, boiler stove. in, cowcateher, cab, smokestack and pilot truck stripped, and erusted with mud and clay and ashes is turned right side up and set upon it's wabby legs, where it stands like a nor tally wounded giant, ready to hobble on to a siding.
 Clear the tracks at any cost" This is the unqualified order to the wreckmaster, and under the touch of his wonderful en- zines confusion vanishes like magic, Any thing that can be thrown into a ditch quicker than 1t can be hauled out of the way is sent flying There is no time to investigate what Is inside of partly dam aged cars, Freight cars and coal cars worth 5000 each, sometimes laden with costly furniture, with pianos, glassware, or art pieces, are sent crashing over and over down forty-foot embankments.
 Neither property nor men the wreck master spares; for all this may take place while the world sleeps, after the wrecker has spent twenty-four hours of continuous duty elsewhere and fifty or a hundred miles from the nearest town, and while the night is so dark that you cannot see your hand in front of your eyes.

As Commander of the American Salvation Army, force 10000 strong is swayed at her beck.
 When you know her, you discover that she seldom dons the army bonnet, and the wounds of service give you sug- gestive reason and a thrilling story. In a dying condition she was taken from the battlefeld-the London slums, where a four months bitter contest had been waged with the forces of the under world. When she tottered from the hos .pital ward, recovered from the long wrestle with brain fever, the army bon net was the sacrifice sne paid to the cause.

 Tn any case, night or day, hail, rain, ice, snow, or sunshine, with safety valve snorting, every pound of steam crammed on, and the fireman heaping on coal, the locomotive fairly bounds across the rib bons of steel, taking crossings, tunnels, and cuts just as fast as her gigantic drivers can whirl her, taking all bridges and skyscraping trestles like a scared cat along a fence, and never slaekening until the glimmer of red light or the f1utter of a scarlet flag ahead gives warn- ing.
 The trouble may be slight, like a switch engine loafng off an open switch; in which case a couple of jacks or the crane lifts the engine, and within fifteen min utes sets it back upon the rails.

 Mayor Schmitz was in Europe at the time, but Ruef had control of the acting mayor, Gallagher. and the latter issued an order removing Langcon as district at torney and appointing Ruef. But this bit of effrontery was too much even fir the people of San Francisco.

 The crowd Waited for more than two hours and were worked up to such a pitch of excitement that they were almost ready for a lynching. The battalion of police which had brought about some order were hardly able to protect him as, with palb. features, he made his way to his motor car. He was jeered and hooted, men of standing struck at him from the edge of the throng and he was even spat upon. When Heney and Dangdon emerged they were roundly cheered.

And then came the indictments of Ruef and Schmitz for extorting money from the keepers of French restaurants Ruef be- gan imm ediately to dodge trial, while the grand Jury still is in session inves- tigating franchise bribery, which was reduced to a system by Ruef according to the testimony of members of the board of supervisors. When It came time for Ruef's trial he didn't appear and neither the sheriff nor coroner could find him. However, State Senator Blggy was ap- pointed special officer and he found Ruef after a. few hours in a suburban resort Biggy has had custody of the boss ever since. De lays of every kind were used by Ruef. But all served only to make his case weaker. A few days ago he said that he was too III for trial, but Judge Dunne decided that he wasn't, and, with his last chance for delay gone, the boss gave up completely.
