At Fuerth, which is close to Nuremberg,
fourishing trade and industry has
likewise sprung up since about the end
Of the eighteenth century. Next to Nu-
remberg and Fuerth the town and dis
trict Of Sonneberg has for many years
enjoyed the best reputation for its toy
industry and trade, while in the Saxon
"Erzgebirge," district comparatively
poor in natural products, the manufac-
ture of toys has likewise for some time
furnished a source of livelihood to
thousands Of it's Inhabitants.
The toys made at Nuremberg and
Fuerth are chiefly of the metal variety,
made either Of tin, timed sheet iron
or of tin and lead alloys. OF the more
than 200 toy factories established In
both of these towns, about 100 are de-
voted exclusively to metal toys, the
only part Of them worked by hand be-
ing the final painting, while all the rest
is manufactured by machinery. In this
respect this toy industry of the two
Bavarian towns occupies a rather diff
ferent position from that of all the
other parts of Germany, where 1t is al
most exclusively carried on by manual
labor; that is to say, by workmen and
women in their own homes. The sue
cess of the Nuremberg and Fuerth met
al toy manufactures is mainly attribu-
table to the skillful manner in which
the materials have been employed, and
In which the machinery tools used
for the work have been adapted and
gradually improved by the toy manu-
facturers themselves, thus enabling
them to produce large quantities of
articles within comparatively short
time, and to reduce the expenses of pro-
duction, and in consequence also the
,ale prices or the articles manufactured

CHAPTER VIII.

Breen was not wholly unconscious of
danger when the large bundle of New
York papers was brought with the mails
into the library. The ladies had busted
themselves over a joint epistle from Mr.
Stansbury, and were scanning the front
pages of the journals, when a sudden
exclamation from Mrs. Stansbury init
mated the ugly truth. Breen was chang
ed from guest to outlaw. Miss Stansbury
followed her mother upstairs, the former
bearing the paper with her. A second
account of the demoralizing incident was
not difficult to find. Breen read the fol-
lowing hastily:
1.-The Madame de Stael, Mr.. Peter Con-
stables splendid private yacht, cleared for
West Indian ports this morning, having
on board the young millionaire-owner
and, it is alleged. Nicholas Stembridge,
the notorious revolutionist, adventurer,
and swindling promoter.
''The purpose in common of the CAPT.
talist and fortune hunter cannot be told
Mr.. Constable has figured in the public
prints on several occasions, but chiefly
through his eccentric ideas of practical
philanthropy. So far as is known, he has
never before allowed himself to be SUBJ
jected to the attention of the police. 1t
is feared that he will lose at both ends
as result of his present affiliations.
Mr.. Constable's friends aver that the
young millionaire could not have under
stood the character of his companion for
the voyage, and point out that Nicholas
Stembridge, at his best, is man of fasci-
mating manners and IRE personal accom-
plishments. 1t has been added also that
Mr.. Constable is of a most impulsive tenn
permanent, and apt to choose his compan-
ions from queer arteries of society The
young mans innocent intent, however,
might more readily be accepted, were it
not for the important fact that Nicholas
Stembridge, who is known to have been
in hiding for several days in New York,
was seen on board the de Stael shortly
before she sailed; positively recognized.

BENNET'S BODY FOUND
Remains of Victim of Dynamite Ex-
plOsiOn Discovered by Fisher
man, Saturday.

Henry Delaney, while fishing on
Mill Creek near Gooseneck, Saturday,
found what is believed to be the
remains of Harry Bennet, who was
killed by dynamite explosion in
November, 1906.
The body of Mr.. Hill, who was
killed in the same accident, was re-
covered within short time after II
occurred, but no trace of Bennett could
be found although most thorough
search was made.
Believing that the bones he had
found were those of the missing man,
Delaney had Coroner Chapman sum-
moned from Dallas at once. The
skull and one arm were missing, but q
close examination showed that it was
the skeleton of young but fully
matured man. Bennett was about 19
years of age when he was killed and
was man Of mature development.
In view Of that fact it was finally
decided that the bones must be the
remains Of the unfortunate man,
although absolute Identification was
impossible.
The funeral was held at Buell., Sun
day, under the auspices of the Wood.

Bennett had been a member. He is
survived by a mother and several
