BRIGANDAGE DOESN'T PAY NOW. Only Practiccd for Revenge West of
 the Adriatic.

Brigandage as a lucrative profession is decidedly on the decline in Europe. It is absolutely thing of the past in Spain and Italy. When desperado takes to the woods and the hills in these countries he is either fugitive from justice or else he out for revenge not money.
 East of the Adriatio there is still something doing The profession got bad setback in Greece in 1896, when, on September Ii, fifteen gentlemen who had led a merry life on it's proceeds had their heads chopped of; but since 1902 there has been a revival and pred- atory bands roam through the noun tains and the Peloponnesus. They are careful to conane their activity to their own countrymen, however. Their profits are greatly reduced by doing so, but so is the danger.
 In Turkish territory brigandage is always in existence, but in recent years there have been no coups like the extortion of $75,O0O ransom for MT. Ransom, an Englishman, at Saloniki, a few years ago, or the capture of Miss Stone in 1901, which brought some 1 where near $10O,000 to the Macedonian

bands, half bandits, half revolutionists who held her and her companion, Mme Tsilka, prisoners for five months. Ot late the brigands have contented themselves with bagging local magis- trates and well to do merchants in the towns of their region, whose ability to pay for their lives the brigands can es- innate to a dollar. The country is short of railroads and the victims are usually caught riding or staging through the wild forest roads on busi- ness journeys from one town to anoth- CT. Sometimes, however, raids are made into towns and villages where no troops are stationed, and men who can pay are taken out of their beds The prisoners are always well treated-as Miss Stone was-but when the pay ment of the sum demanded is too long delayed the brigands have pleasant habit of first cutting off the victim s ear and later his hand and sending them to his relatives as a hint that they mean business.
 |, Only two cases of brigandage are re- l ported from the more westerly noun tains in recent times. One was in the Tyrol where the members of a family long suspected of marauding seized a member of the Swiss Diet and carried him off into the wilds, The prisoner and his friends stood firm and refused to pay any blackmail, and the prisoner was killed. This took place last year. ! Very recently a desperado named Giuseppe Crealin built himself a re- treat on Monte Zeda, near Lake Mag giore, at an elevation of 1000 feet. He terrorized the entire country for a couple of years, levylng blackmail on ! every one who could afford to pay, but steering clear of the tourists, in whose cause the government might get un- | duly active if they were molested He had no band, not a single man asso- ciated with him; but as is usually the lease with Italian brgands, the whole country was dotted over with his sweethearts, who brought him food and ammunition, warned him as to the movements of the police and gave him
 tips on good things to pull off.
 He is said to have got together a large sum of money and he was on the
 point of quitting the wild life and set

 The two houses are getting to be as tired as jaded horses and will wei come the final adjournment as a long desired relief. By the end of the ses- sion there will be a good deal of posi- tive legislation to be pointed to by the General Assembly. The present legisla- ture has not been a sentimental body of men. but on the contrary hard- headed. It has had a world of work on it's hands. It has required hard-head- ed men to make the decisions that have been necessary for the public good. In most cases this has been done fearlessly and faithfully. One day this week Senator Farrel of An sonia made the remark in the senate during a recess that he was out of i politics. He was instantly stopped in that dismal view of things by man, | who adnires the senator's fitness for public life and the courage, which he has shown in his convictions relative to public interests. Connecticut could ill afford to lose Senator Farrel as a man in the deliberations and councils that must shape and direct public welfare. He has been a man of hard headed ideas, but honestly founded and maintained through the session, Tn fact when hardheaded legislators become the subject of thought, there is a score of them to be pointed out in the senate, not to say anything about the house.
 William W, Wilcox of Middletown, who was appointed a trustee of the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane this morning on the recommendation of Senator shanley, chairman of the con- mittee on senate appointments, filling the vacancy caused by the death of Henry Woodward, is man of ample qualifications for public service. He is 1 a graduate of williams College and is at the head of the manufacturing cor poration of Wilcox, Crittenden & Co. of Middletown The name of Mr. Wilcox was presented to the senate by sena- tor D. Luther Briggs of Middletown and was unanimously adopted. Mir Wilcox is the son of the late William W. Wilcox, who was well known in his day as a member of the general as sembly. He was man of exceptional legislative attainments and his work ir the house was one of lasting charac- ter. His son succeeded him in the greal business enterprises which are estab. llshed in Middletown.

MEN OF AFFAIRS
Need Proper Food to Supply the Brain.

A medical journal comments on the restless brain worker of our large cities and refers to the fact that he thinks he knows as much about the needs of the brain, when he is tired and shows brain flag, as trained practitioner.
 He Is inclined to spur up the tired organs by some stimulant, or perhaps quiet his complaints with some narcot- ic, and this plan goes on until suddenly he collapses, for brain flag Is a sure sign that the clements that compose the brain are being more rapidly used up than replaced by the food.
 There is really a choice of but two pathways for an active brain worker a man of affairs-when he shows symp- toms of breaking down. Either he must quit work or he must have food that will replace the structure of brain and nerve centers as rapidly as they are used up each day.
 Chemical analysis of the particles thrown out through the pores of the body shows that after continued brain work a large portion of excreta con- tains phosphate of potash. It is known that when this element is furnished by the food in proper quantities the sys- tenn unites it with albumen and from that compound makes the gray matter that fills the nerve centers and the brain.
 This is an especial feature of the food known as Grape-Nuts, delicious, ready-coolzed and predigested break fast food.
 A definite and well understood gain in brain power and physical strength will set in after Grape-Nuts has been used eight or ten days, and sustained and continued brain work can be car ried on if a reliance is placed upon this food in connection with the ordi- nary food of the day.

were the very words l had said myself
to Colonel Clay, as the Count Won Leb-
enstein, about the purchase-money of
the schloss-and in the very same ac-
cent. I saw through it all now That
beastly cheque! This was Colonel
Clay, and he was trying to buy my
silence and assistance by the threat of
exposure.
My blood ran cold 1 didn't know
how to answer him. What happened
at the rest of that interview 1 really
couldn't tell you. My brain reeled
round. l heard just faint echoes of
fuel and reduction works" What
on earth was 1 to do? If I told
Charles my suspicion-for it was only
suspiciOn-the fellow might turn up
on me and disclose the cheque, which
would suffice to ruin me. If / didn't,
I ran q risk of being considered by
Charles an accOmplice and a confeder-

The interview was long. 1 hardly
know how 1 struggled through it. At
the end young Granton went off, well
satisfied, if it was young Granton;
and Amelia invited him and his wife
up 70 dinner at the castle.
Whatever else they were, they were
capital company. They stopped for
three days more at the "Cromarty
Arms" And Charles debated and dis
cussed necessarily. He couldn't quite
make up his mind what to do in the
affair; and I certainly couldn't help
him. l never was placed in such fix
in my life. I did my best to preserve
strict neutrality.
Young Granton, 1t turned out, was a
most agreeable person; and so, in her
way, was that timid, unpretending

naively surprised Amelia had never
met her mamma at Durham. They
both talked delightfully."-, and had lots
of good stories-mostly with points
that told against the Craig Ellachie
people. Moreover. the Honorable Da-
vid was a splendid swimmer. He went

we could neither of us take a single

should row US on the firth, and made

"A what?" Charles exclaimed, pre-

piled, with compassionate smile. "A

And she indicated with her hand,

at them and Uttered. Her manner at
this moment was anything but shy. In
fact, 1 will venture to say. It was that
of a bold and braZen faced hoyden.
Then you are Colonel Clay" Sir
Charles cried, hopping his brow with
his handkerchief.

Early next morning, accordingly, a
groom was dispatched with a telegram
to Lord Craig Ellachie. He was to
ride over to FOWLS, send it off at once,
and wait for the answer. At the same
time, II was probable Lord Craig-ElIa-

shown us both that too much zeal may
be more dangerous than too little. New
ertheless, taught by previous misfor-

About o'clock the red-haired young
man and his pretty wife came I'D to
call for US. She looked so charning.
and squinted 50 enchantingly one could
hardly believe she was not as simple
and innocent as she seemed to be. She
tripped down to the Seldom boat house
with Charles by her side, giggiing and
squirting her best, and then helped
her husband to get the skiff ready. As
she did so Charles sided up to me.
'Sey," he whispered, I'm an old
hand, and I'm not readily taken in. I've
been talking to that girl. and upon my
soul / think she's all right She's a
charming little lady. We may be mis-
taken after all, of course, about young
Granton. In any case, it's we'll for the
present to be courteous. A most impor-
tant optioni If it's really he, we must
do nothing to annoy him or let him see
we suspect him.

Granton had made herself most agree

eye was all pure piquancy.

1 had rounded the point and got clear
out of sight of the Cockneyfied towers

Mis-. GrantOn pulled stroke. Even as
she rowed she kept up a brisk under
current Of timid chaff with Sir Charles,
giggling all the while, half forward,
half shy, like a school girl who hirts

Sir Charles was fiattered He is sus-

struck me as odd at the moment that
they seemed to know it. Then young
Granton jumped lightly ashore; Mrs.
Granton skipped after him. 1 confess
it made me feel rather ashamed to see
how clumsily Charles and 1 followed
them. treading gingerly on the thwarts
for fear OF upsetting the boat. while
