ANN|E'S STORY
EVIDENCE OF BESSIE KING
TENDS TO SHOW RESORT
KEEPER HAD PROTECTION.

Miss Bessie King, who occupies a
handsomely furnished apartment at
No. 307 Woodward-ave., has suddenly
doomed into considerable prominence
as a figure In the police department
scandal. She was a witness before
Justice Jeffries, sitting as grand
jury, early in the investigation and
her testimony Is important as tending
to show that the police protected An.
MO Smith when ex-Justice Coulson
was trying to secure evidence against
her, even going SO far as to put up a
job on Coulson.
The testimony is also important In
that II corroborates Annie Smiths
story that she received police protec
ton. for which she claims to have
paid dearly.
and since last June has been a fire.
frequently present, she says, when
Annie was entertaining police officers.
She mentions among those who were
entertained Capt Newberry, Detective
Favor, Lieut.. Vermette and ex-Sergt.
Woznack.
Did you ever see Commissioner
Smith there?" she was asked.
But Bessie would not discuss the
commissioner. claiming that II "hc
did so she would be violating grand
jury secrets.
Former Justice Coulson once went
tc Bessie King to secure information
to use In a suit against Annie Smith.
She made an appointment to meet him
and then advised Annie and the police
of the place and time Of meeting, with
the result that couple Of detectives
and stenographer from police head
quarters, according to Bessie. were on
hand and listened to the entire con.
versation from behind a partition, un.
known to Coulson.
Il was helping Annie and the police
and made Coulson think | was agree
able to his plans" says Bessie.
Justice Jeffries was indisposed We'd
nesday morning, and was unable to
go to court. add Assistant. Prosecutor
McClear Is attending a wedding, so
there were no new developments In
the scandal.
Commissioner Smith has not yet
asked to be suspended and Justice
Jeffries is still holding his job.

OUR CORNER
KING MIDAS.

~ nee upon n time there lived a
N1 king whose name vas Midas.
Now, this king was a very rich
monarch, and possessed a little daugh-
ter, whom he loved dearly, but he was
dissatisfied with life because he
thought he did not have enough gold.
Ono day he went down to his strong
room and began to count over his
wealth. He took great pleasure in doing
this and feasting his eyes upon the big
chests filled with money, but he was
always wishing that he had twice as
much as he possessed. "Oh. if only
everything I touched would turn into
goldi" he cried.
Strangely enough, his wish came true,
and IL he but touched anything it i'm
mediately turned into the g~listening
yellow metal. He was so happy that
he spent the whole day in transform
ing everything he saw into gold.
When dinner time came he was very
hungry, and sat down with his daugh-
ter to enjoy the repast. But, alasi
Even the food was turned to gold the
minute his lips touched il, and he could
not even slake his thirst because the
water changed to moulten metal. His
daughter tried to comfort him, but was
herself Immediately turned into a
golden statue.
Then King Midas repented Of his
rash wish and begged TO be allowed to
give up all of his wealth and have his
little girl back again. His prayer was
answered, and all the mischief was I'M
done, but it taught him a lesson, and
ever after he took ne pleasure in his
gold. but lived 10 q good old age, happy
in his daughters love.

CONTINUED FROM Yesterday,


The path has been cut halfway round
the fall to afford a complete view, but
1t ends abruptly, and the traveller has
to return as he came. We had turned
to do so, when we saw a Swiss lad
come running along it with a letter in
his hand. 1t bore the mark of the
hotel which we had Just left, and was
addressed to me by the landlord. 1t APP
.peared that within a very few minutes of
our leaving. an English lady had ar
rived who was in the last stage of con-
sumption. She had wintered at Davos
Platz, and was journeying now to join
her friends at Lucerne, when a sudden
hemorrhage had overtaken her. 1t was
thought that she could hardly live a
few hours, but it would be a great con-
ISOLATION to her to see an English doc
tor. and, If I would only return, etc.
The good Steiler assured me in a post
script that he would himself look upon
my compliance as q very great favor.
since the lady absolutely refused to see
a Swiss physician, and he could not
but feel that he was mourning a great
responsibility.
The appeal was one which could not
be ignored. 1t was impossible to refuse
the request of a fellow-countrywoman
dying in a strange land. Yet had my
scruples about leaving Holmes. 1t was
finally agreed, however, that he should
retain the young Swiss messenger with
him as guide and companion while l
returned to Meiringen. My friend would
stay some little time at the fall, he
said. and would then walk slowly over
the Hill to Rosenlaui, where l was to
reioin him in the evening. AS l turned
away l saw Holmes. with his back

How to Whip Cream-Put one pint

cool off. and add it slowly to a pint of
whipped cream while beating con-
