The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1907-08-08

A Scottish paper tells story OF San
dy Me-. a Forfarshire farmer who
had been spending an hour or two Fl
the evening with a friend couple o.
miles away. 1t was a moonlight night
and Sandy. after partaking freely Of
bis friends hospitality. was riding
quietly home across the sheep pastures
on his "guld aud mare" when they
came to an open ditch. which his mare
refused to cross,
"Hoot ava, Maggie" said the rider
"thls Wilma dae Ye maun fist gang
over"
He turned back about 100 yards
wheeled round and gave the mare 2
touch OF his whip. On she went at a
brisk canter. but as they reached the
edge Of the ditch she stopped dead and
shot Sandy clean over to the Other
side.
Gathering himself up Sandy looked
bis mare straight in the face and said
"vera weel pitched indeed, ma lass
But hoo are ye goin TO get over yer
sell, eh?'

The Times Daily Short Story.

No one saw him on the street. He
had not gone abroad by any sort Of
craft. He had not taken train for
any point within the empire. While
he was directly In charge OF the gems,
the manager or either one Of the part
ners had access to them. The detec-
tiyet- figured 1t out that Dodd must
surely be the guilty party, but q largs
element Of the public shook their heads
doubtfully and made comments that
put others in embarrassing positions.
After six months the hunt was
abandoned. 1t was the general opin-
ion that Dodd was dead by accident or
suicide. Meanwhile the bookstand
f1ourished. Its only attendant day by
day was Mr.. Cooper, its owner. The
only one to penetrate the old house be-
hind 1t was the aged housekeeper. and
she went to her own home o. nights.
The public had been buying books Of
certain man for years, One day he
dropped out Of sight and new man
stood behind the counter. There was
a moment of surprise at seeing him, q
question or two, perhaps, as to the
other, and then business went on as
usual. That's the way with the pub
lie. The old goes and the new comes.
There were no newer or better books.
There was no change in prices. There
was nothing to cali for discussion.
Detectives loafed away a quarter of
an hour at the stand. Employees of
the house Of Walfour & Co. turned up
there almost daily. All sorts Of men
stopped there. For weeks Mr.. Cooper
heard his case discussed, but 1t was
rarely that he had word to say Soon
after the bookstand changed hands a
little girl twelve years old began to
pass that way every day with her IA
theirs dinner. By and by she and Mr..
Cooper began to nod and smile to each
other Sometimes she would stop and
chat for a minute, and sometimes he
handed her penny she told her IA
Their Of these things, aud he was
wroth, but after walking around to the
stand one day and looking the man
over he decided that there was no
harm In him.
A year lacking few days had gone
by, and 1t was midwinter again, when
one day as the girl passed the stand
two dogs began fighting in her path.
Mr. Cooper hurried out to kick them
apart and make safe passage for her.
but In doing so be slipped and fell and
rolled off the narrow walk in front of
n van and was run over. There were
two or three minutes OF excitement.
and then he was taken away to the
hospital, and the doctors found him al
ready dead. Mr. Cooper was known
by name, but of course his clothing
was overhauled. AS the shoe FOR the
deformed foot was removed 1t was
seen that the heel was turned little.
"A minutes investigation revealed the
fact that there was a cavity and in
that cavity the diamonds stolen from
the house in Bond street. The man
had planned and plotted and lodged
and waited, and yet It had all been In
vain. The veriest trihe had exposed
him and lost him his life at one and
'he same moment. NJ. QUAD.

Icopyrlght lao7. by Mary MeKeon.l

IL copyright 1907. BY Mary McKeon.l
James Dodd had oeen an employee
Of the house of Walfour s. Co, the
Bond street diamond merchants, for
period OF fourteen years before he
was made assistant manager and given
charge OF the unset stones.
e For two years after he had been
given charge Of the gems James Dodd
was simply waiting He meant to fill
his pockets with plumber and skip. He
was methodicaI and cold blooded. He
would not make the mistake SO many
Others had. He would make none at
all. Step by step he prepared for the
coup, He must change his looks, his
gait and his voice. An actor taught
him the art of appearing to be ten
years older. Some one else taught
him that by holding peach stone In
his mouth he could alter the tones Of
ibis voice. A shoemaker made him a
shoe for deformed foot, and for
more than 800 nights be walked
the streets with 1t. 1t gave him a
limp and a lop shoulder. He tested
these things in the seyerest way. In
his disguise he went boldly into the
store as a stranger and made pur.
chases Of men who had known him for
years and years
Three months before the affair was
ripe James Dodd had his every plan
laid. He would not fee abroad, as
others had done and been overhauled
almost at once. He purchased book.
stand not five blocks away. He pur-
chased an old house to live in. He Sc.
cured housekeeper. He had worn
his wig hundred times. The shoe
for the deformed foot had cavity In
the heel. The diamonds hidden away
there would always be at hand. At
closing time one day the event came
off. Uncut and unset diamonds to the
amount Of 100000 were carried home
In his pocket An hour later he had
taken possession Of bis new quarters
under another name.
The diamond mystery" made a
great sensation. The house believed
in the honesty OF its employee; the pc
lice believed he had skipped. Three
or four days were lost In discussion,
and then a reward was offered and the
sleuths let loose. They telegraphed to
every port in the empire. They gave
notice to all the steamers that had
sailed. They had every constable in
every village on the watch. If Dodd
had committed FIVE cold bloodad muir.

Nicholas Praises Manoeuvres

London, Aug. s.Another Russian po-
litical convention will assemble in Lon
don during the month Of August. The
Russian Social Revolutionary party IS
the name which its supporters give it,
but advices from Russia contend that
the party is composed Of anarchists and
nihilists. Elections are being held all
over Russia to choose ten delegates from
each Of the eighty-six provinces Of Eu-
ropean Russia, and Siberia will send
enough more to bring the number up to
1900 The English papers say that no
one will be eligible for election unless
he has twice been convicted of political
offenses. Geneva has heretofore been the
headquarters Of the party, but the peo-
pie there have come TO consider its mem
bers as undesirable and finally refused
to permit their gatherings.
The matters to be considered by the
conference are these;
/. The establishment Of the foreign
headquarters Of the party in London, in.
stead of in Geneva, where practical work
is rendered almost impossible, owing to
recent legislation.
?. The preparations for the eorthcom-
ing congress.

Coventry, Eng, Aug. 81 Mounted on
a white palfrey and decorously clothed
| in masse Of hair, pink aeshings and
clouds Of gauze, modern Lady Godiva
yesterday afternoon gave representa-
tion Of the historic ride through the
city's streets
Coventry has been Lady Godiva mad
for months. When revival Of the pro-
cession, last witnessed in 1887, was first
agitated there were many who desired a
strict adherence to tradition, even the
nudity Of LADY Godiva. The anti-nud-
lists succeeded in efTecting compromise
and vaudeville actress, La Milo. whose
speciality is to display herself in groups
of living statuary, was engaged to rep
resent the historic benefactress Of Cow
entry.
The actress, who is said to have COM
planned that She could make half dozen
summer frccks out of the gauSe she
was compelled to wear, took an hour and
half to arrange her trailing hair and
long draperies, and then a special com
mittee had 70 approve of her costume be-
fore Lady Godiya was permitted to take
her place in the pageant.
| Many Of the local clergy who had been
preaching against the tleshing, left the
city temporarily, but most of the people
OF the country and 100000 from the out
side, had a sight Of Lady Godiya as she
trayersed the six-mle route, and OF the
splendid pageant Of which she was the
central figure.
Lady Godiya is the patroness of Gov
entry. About the year 1910, Leofrie,
Earl Of Mercia and Lord OF Coventry, inn
posed heavy taxes upon the city, which
the people thereof resented. Lady Co
diva, wife of Leofric, pleaded with him
on behalf Of the townspeople. and at
length hoping thereby to escape her inn
lportmities, he said he would grant what
she asked on condition that she would
ride naked through the town.
She said she would and she did, all
the inhabitants having bound themselves
to remain indoors during the ride and
that no one should look from windows
or roof
The legend that tailor, the only one
who looked out Of a window, was struck
blind, has found cgnmemoration in an
ancient efligy Of 'Peeping Tom Of Gov.
entry" which Il still TO be seen in q
niche Of one of the buildings.
