the differences between the porte and
Austria. Austria announced at the tine

neighborhood who were too small to
schools. Between thirty-fve and fifty
FIVE Of the little ones have been crowd
ed into the building. Just as in the
little country schoolhouses, Public
School 121, as the little school is
called, has one teacher. The daily
program is much the same as in the
real country schools, except that the
courses Of study are laid down by the
city's board of education and the work
is supervised by District Superintend-
ent James j. McCabe. The teacher and
principal of the little schoolhouse is
Mrs Kate s'yfe.
Many OF the young people of the
neighborhood received their public
school training in the little building,
and it has produced some Of the teach
ers who are now employed in the city
schools. While 1t is likely that the
little building will be done away with,
a plan is now on foot that may give 1t
a new lease of life. The department
of education has another school about
a half mile away from the little school,
and this is being enlarged by the ad-
ditions of portable houses. II may
still be found advisable, however, to
keep the little school in existence for
the benefit of the smallest children.
In this school district the schools
present the greatest contrast to be
found anywhere I'm the city. Not far
away from the old schoolhouse stands
Public School 149, I'm the Brownsville
section This school has more than
5000 pupils, and is the largest in
Brooklyn. AS in the case Of most old
structures, the little school has Its
ghosts, but they have not troubled the
school authorities. AS Mr.. McCabe
said recently:
I'VE use the schoolhouse only in the
day time, and in the night time the
ghosts can haunt 1t as much an they
please"

front OF Phipps and asked him in a
whisper as they pointed towards a
well-known Detroit minister, who was
slumbering in a nearby seat, rs that
Phipps. the murderer"
Phipps merely smiled in reply, but
il was evident that the title of muir
derer used in conjunction with his
name made him finch considerably,
and Murray was about to explain the
situation to the reporters when the
train started and the two seekers for
information left the car hurriedly. The
news Of Phipps' coming had gone be-
fore him and when the train reached
Detroit there were nearly two hundred
OF his former friends waiting at the
station to see him. The reception they
gave the prisoner testified strongly to
the high tide of popularity in his home
town and Murray felt still more ia
vorably inclined toward the man
whom duty compelled him to hand
over to the grim mercies of Canadian
law.
I'll see you fellows at the Michigan
exchange" called out Phipps to his
friends as he followed Murray into a
cab that Chief Bains of Windsor had
waiting for them. I'D like TO take a
farewell drink there" added the pris-
oner to Murray, and the latter nodded
assent and ordered the cabman to
drive to the barroom in question.
Phipps' friends gathered there In full
force and crowded around him, shak.
ing hands and giving vent to loud ex.
pressions of sympathy Finally Muir
ray delivered himself of short speech
to the crowd that was trenchant and
,, very much to the point.
IT'S all very well to be sorry,
boys" said the detective bluntly, but
Phipps needs something more than
that. What he wants is money for his
defense and I'm ready to start col
lection right now" Murray backed up
his statement by making handsome
donation and the crowd, growing en-.
thusiastic over the idea, followed suit,
with the result that a comfortably
large sum was soon subscribed and
given to the prisoner. That done Muir.
ray asked him IL there was any other
place in Detroit he wanted to visit be.
fore crossing the river.
I'D like to drive past my old home
on Jefferson street." said the pris.
oner, wistfully.
Many times in after life the detec.
tice was glad that he acceded to this
last request of his unfortunate pris.
oner. The cab drove along jefferson
street and Phipps gazed with soul
hungry eyes upon the house wherein
he had once lived so happily. lie

out OF the cemetery, across the road,
through the fields, travelling like an
injured dog. limping on all fours.
His progress was very slow. His
destination was the river, which he
reached an hour after midnight, and
where he found an old boat, half full
of water. He discovered a piece of
board, crawled into the boat, showed
off and began to paddle. When dawn
was breaking he reached the American
shore. below Detroit, nine miles down
stream, wet to the skin. wounded,
blood-stained and faint. But he knew
the country round about and made his
way into the city to the home OF
friend. knocked and was taken in,
clothed and fed. When his wounds
were healed and his strength returned,
he left Detroit resolved to enter upon
a new life.
But the Canadian authorities were
not disposed to tamely relinquish the
possession of prisoner who had
broken their laws and set them at de-
fiance. Orders were issued to capture
Phipps, wherever he might be. and
the task of hunting him down was as.
signed to Detective John Wilson Muir
ray.
He sent out a description of Phipps
to police headquarters all over the
continent. The fugitive was a billiard
room keeper and Murray calculated
that it would be simply a question of
| time until his money gave out and he
would be obliged TO look for Job in
billiard room. Every man to his
trade is a maxim that also holds good
in the case of fugitive from justice,
and the detectives surmise proved cor.
rect. Phipps was located in Pullman,
ILL.,. where he had obtained a position
in a billiard room. Murray prepared
extradition papers, went to Illinois and
took Phipps from Pullman to Chicago.
In the latter city the fugitive EN-.
ployed Jesse Ball. an able lawyer, and
made hard fight against extradition.
His counsel endeavored to show that
the shooting was done in American
waters, and there is no hanging in
Michigan. II the crime had been com.
mitted in American waters, Phipps
would have been tried in Michigan,
and IL convicted, he would not have
been hanged Murray proved by the
captain of the boat and number of
its passengers that the shooting was
done in Canada waters, on the Canada
side OF the river. The legal fight lasted
couple of days, both sides calling
witnesses. and Phipps lost An appeal
was taken and a writ of habeas corpus
issued, but the proceeding was dis.
missed and Murray and his prisoner
started for Canada.
AT Ann Arbor two newspaper men,
after going through the car, stopped in

a wild fury filed his veins. He strug.
gled savagely, desperately, and finally
tore himself loose with a wrench so
powerful that the momentum hurled
him over the wall, and he fell heav.
lily to the ground below. There he lay
for some time. severely bruised and
only half conscious. He was aroused
by hearing voices in the Jail, and stag
gering to his feet dragged himself
away in search Of hiding place.
He came to graveyard. and as he
crawled along in the darkness, fell
head foremost into a newly dug grave.
Silent he lay without moving, with
fast-closed eyes and rigid body. He
heard creaking and humping and
family, as though far away, he heard
the harsh rattle of earth falling on
the casket. Yet no weight seemed to
press upon him, but this did not sur.
prise him, for he was long past the
stage Of establishment. 1t was the end.
and nothing mattered now. He heard
the rumble of wheels as the carriages
departed and the footsteps of the
mourners died away.
His awakening came suddenly, ac-
companied by cold thrill OF horror,
as his eyes opened upon the utter
darkness. He tried to move, but his
entire frame seemed to be paralyzed.
With rush of recollection there
crossed his mind the memory of the
burial, the prayer and singing. He
moved his head feebly and through
the hay caught sight OF the twinkling
stars. Slowly and with great pain he
managed to rise to sitting posture.
| Where was the coffin, where the six
| feet Of earth underneath which It lay?
! He staggered to his feet and saw that
| the grave he occupied was empty. His
brain whirled madly in a maze of tor.
| turing conjectures. What did 1t all
mean? He tried to Chamber out, but
| fell back exhausted. He lay back on
| the hay, rested and tried again. 1t
was the work of an hour for him to
drag his feeble limbs over the edge of
the pit, but at last he succeeded. Then
the mystery was solved. Close beside
the open grave from which he had
emerged new-made mound stood
darkly in the moonlight. The burial
had indeed taken place. but in the
grave adjoining that in which he lay.
The escaped murderer stood up and
laughed Historically as he looked
around and saw the distant outlines
of Sandwich jail looming black and
gigantic in the moonlight. Rallying his
failing strength he staggered away
from the grave that had been his place
OF refuge. On the new-made mound
stood vase Of flowers, and bending
uown weakly, he plucked one and
tossed 1t into the empty grave.
Then painfully he turned and crept
