four men to her, she whispered in a
hurried undertone:
Everything is working beautifully;
our friend is busily engaged cracking
the crib"
Without another word she turned
and led her companions up to the
second floor, hating before a door
on which was inscribed "Suite BIB
TO-"
"The suite engaged by the prince"
she whispered; 1T comprises eight
rooms-the man you want is in the
last on the right, the rajah's own
room"
"But. how on earth did he get by
our men?" asked Richards, wonder
ingly; :,
Through the window, Of course"
replied Marie Stone. ''It leads out on
the balcony: he is disguised as one
of the hotel servants, and easily pass
ed muster amidst the hundreds en-
ployed here. Anyway, you now hold
the key to the situation, and all you
have to do is to rush your enemy
before he has a chance Of escaping"
Stay a moment" said Richards,
quietly, what is to prevent Our man
giving us the slip by the balcony-the
way he came in?"

Handsome Jack, quickly; give me

yonder, and with their help we will

"Good, splendid" calculated Rich
ards, 'you are a match for the smart
est officer in the force"
"Perhaps!" and the pseudo count
winked roguishly at the speaker.
With a snap of his fingers Richards
brought the two officers referred to
to his side.
"Look here, you two," he whisper
ed, follow this gentleman's 1nStruc-
tons to the very letter."
"Eirst go to the end of the corridor
and take the first door on the left"
added Marie Stone.
Her order was Immediately obeyed,
and when the detectives had disap-
peared in the direction indicated she
again turned to Richards with a re-
mark:
"Now for it, gentlemen; enter, and
may success attend your efforts. |
will close the door behind you and
rejoin your other men,"
The next moment Richards and his
companions walked noiselessly along
the corridor, and, after listening for a
moment outside the door Handsome
Jack had indicated, suddenly flung it
open, and then rushed into the room.
"Good God, he's goner' cried the
superintendent. 1t was too true, for
the apartment was tenantless.
"Why, the shutters are all up and
fastened,' cried Simmons, as he flew
towards the window; eve have struck
the wrong room. Quick" and, dash
ing from the apartment, entered the

by entering the rest in the suite.

ARREST BANDITS
Combined from Page y

sons began to suspect them of be-
ing the train robbers. Among
others, J. E. Howe, the liveryman,
and Thomas Reilly, proprietor of
the dance hall. Howe had been in
close touch with certain detectives
since the hold-up, and had made
at least one trip with a Great
Northern detective. He had OH
tanned many pointers about the
robbers and was on the lookout for
them. His suspicious were aroused
the first day they were in town,
but being called out, only returned
in time to catch a train and follow
them out. having learned sufficient
to satisfy himself that they were
the men.
The train robbers concluded to
leave on Friday and took the after
noon Great Northern train for Spo-
kane They had invited Reilly to
accompany them, and Howe got
into their company on the trip,
Reilly vouching for him. Howe
and Reilly understood each other
They all retired to a drawing room
on the sleeper and proceeded to
drink, smoke and be merry. Howe
had asked Agent Walton, so he in
forms us, to wire to his detective
associates in Spokane to meet them,
and five officers were waiting when
the train reached Hillyard. They
sent the porter through the train
to look for Howe, who, when found,
stepped out and told them where
the men were located. Howe and
the officers entered the car and
proceeding to the drawing room
covered the train robbers with
guns. They surrendered and were
soon behind the bars. When search
ed they had $14,100 on their per-
sons. The money was done up in
packages, and on some packages
were found the original Wrappers
bearing the stamp of the Chicago
bank. 1t is known that the men
secured $4,000 being sent from a
Chicago bank to the Old National
of Spokane.
Immediately after the capture
was made a dozen claimants came
forward for the reward. which
amounts to little over $4,000
Besides Howe and Reilly and the
Spokane officers, Agent Walton Of
the Cheat Northern and G. G.
Cummins claim a part of the re-
ward for furnishing Information.
The award will probably have to
be settled in the courts.
There are many very interesting
stories to be related in connection
with the appearance and capture
of the hold-ups. A lack of space
prevents our giving many of the
details. One highly interesting
event was the finding of the jan

Origin of Mr.. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man
was simply William or John-that is
to say, he had only a Christian name
without any kind of handle" before
it or surname after it. Some means
of distinguishing one John or William
from another John or William became
necessary. Nicknames derived from
a mans trade or his dwelling place or
from some personal popularity were
tackled on to his Christian name, and
plain John became John Smith. And
yet there were no "misters" in the
land. Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk of his fell
lows. became perhaps a landed pro-
prietor or an employer of hired labor.
Then he began to be called in the
Norman-French of the day the ''mais-
tre' of this place or that, of these
workmen or of those. In time the
"maistre" or MASTER" as it soon
became, got tackled on before his
name, and he became Master Smith
and his wife was Maistress Smith.
Gradually the sense of possession was
lost sight of, and the title was con.
ferred upon any kindly mere pos.
session of wealth or holding position
of more or less consideration and i'm.
portance.

curio Collectors Queer Fads.

No one knows quite so we'll as "a
curio collector how many queer fads
occupy the minds of people who have
both leisure and money. One woman
who is an adept in the art of finding
things in out of the way places and
getting them at low prices is now
working on no less than SO different
collections, many of which are de-
cidedly freakish. Here are a few of
them: Stuffed toads for woman
who already has various specimens
of the genus toad in his various
shapes and sizes. fossilized vegeta-
ton, odd bottles. teeth of famous peo-
pie, photographs of particularly vi
cious animals. paper weights, door
keys, exact miniature copies of in
ventions for the punishment of GRIM
inals, and skins of cats of lofty line
age. The foregoing fads are selected
mt random. but serve to show the
scope of the work undertaken by a
person who adopts curio collecting as
q profession.

pUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND.
etsrn Laws Of Business Come First,
Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law, which
centered on the observance of an old
Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant, says the Ameri-
can lsraelite, discharged clerk on ac-
count of neglect Of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
to the store late in the morning be-
ca1se he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say Kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his privi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also a religious man,
maintained that "if Moses had known
that a man had to pay 5000 gulden
year rent he would have made differ
ent laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in fa-
vor of the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right Of
the clerk without the consent of the
employer"

ONE DOLLAR A WEEK.
How to Make It Gr.w and Double

According to the annual report of
the New York savings banks the
number of depositors is now 2,753,-
295, and the total of their deposits
is over $1,400.0O0,O 900, an amount
greater than the bonded debt of the
United States.
These depositors, who outnumber
the inhabitants of Manhattan Island,
are to be commended for their wis
dom. If all men of small means were
to follow their example, the communi-
ty as whole would be much better

agement, and whose solvency is not
beyond question.
In these days of get-rich quick
schemes, of mining stocks, of specula-
tion in bucketshops, poolrooms, on
the curb and in the stock exchange
it is most timely to turn to the saw
ings banks and to point out the SUI
periority to every man of small earn
ings and limited means of depositing
definite surplus regularly at inter-
est.
For rich man to speculate is one
thing. He can afford to lose some
money. He has time for personal in
vestigation of the risk, and he has
the power to enforce his legal rights
He may win or he may lose, but in
either case the transfer of wealth is
not vital matter
To all the men who work for wages
or on salaries their only hope for a
peaceful old age and for life free
from racking money cares is to pro-
vide beforehand for the future. They
should take no risk. When they spec.
ulate they stake their family's future
and their own peace of mind against
few dollars. Even were the chances
equal-and in the case of small man
the odds are always against him
the risk which he takes is vastly dis
proportionate to any possible gain.

We should get up well every morn

IT WOULD BE SIMPLE.
FormaIlties Complied with, Escape

In the days before the dawn of his
fame it was the practice of certain

down the land seeking what he might
devour in the way of suggestion and
local color. In this way he had drift
ed down into Arkansas, "roughing it,"

an appearance calculated to inspire a
hotel proprietor with unlimited conf
dence.
The only hotel in the town, frame
structure, seemed to have been built
upon the theory that there was plenty
of room straight up, but that ground
had to be bought, and the wanderer
was shown to room on the third
floor, reached through many narrow
and winding passages. From the one
window it was a straight drop to the
ground.
