grew worse. At the end of about a
year and half of suffering he grew
so bad that I had to tie his hands in

just where she went, but it was short
ly afterwards rumored that she had
been granted a divorce.
She was now cutting large figure
in society and often spoken of as the
handsOmest woman in the capitol city.
Her husband, the judge, was up to
this time quite successful in political
life. Possessed of considerable brain
force and much amiability of charac.
ter, he might have risen still higher
had not the tntrigues set on foot by
his ambitious wife contributed to pun
him down. She planned schemes to
exalt him and to acquire wealth. In
making these efforts she aroused the
jealousies of others and made the
Judge quite unpopular with the leading
politicians. Her misdirected zeal not
only crushed the political prospects of
her husband, but finally resulted in ex.
polling her from Washington society.

youth. His face was indicative of
criminal tendencies. I was told that
he was difficult man to approach,
that he did not care for the compan-
ionship of men. This being the case
l was at loss to determine how to
reach him. It was necessary to intro
duce stranger in order to carry out
the plot had in view.
!! After bordering over the matter for
some days l hit upon an expedient
that l believed would dispose of the
young man without public exposure or
resorting to crime. There was in my
employ at this time man whom
shall call Reed. If ever there was a
born confidence man he was the one;
an actor that could assume part, live
it and play it through with a face as
solemn as the graveyard; never VI
cious, but ever apparently in earnest
while practicing deception for mis-
leading only those who ought to be
misled. l had found him on all occa-
sions to be valuable assistant in
furthering the ends of justice.
Reed hailed from the south, had
just arrived in the city and was in
quest of private lodging place. The
judges stepson was now occupying an
elegant suite of rooms in fashionable
location. He was SO ompletely capti-
waited by Reeds assumed manners and
apparent wealth that he was delighted
at the opportunity afforded to secure
roommate. The detective accepted
the offer made by his new friend and
soon found himself in quite novel
and dangerous situation. He was the
companion of thief whose exploits
were liable to involve both in trouble.
He had led his roommate to believe
that he was himself engaged in ques-
tiOnable transactions and that New
York was the place to operate in

took to suggestion of this kind like
a duck to water and was highly elated
on account of the proposed trip. He
no doubt imagined broader field for
the exercise of his own peculiar talent.
On their arrival at New York they
registered under assumed names at
the Merchants hotel on CORTLAND

For several days following they
strolled about the city, taking in the
sights and waiting for something to
turn up. While walking along Broad

repeal a statutory enactment, but a
constitutional amendment can be re-

as that by which it was originally
enacted-the passage of a joint reso-

Hence constitutional prohibition when

CHECK FROM STATE
Wayne County Received Less
Money From School Fund
Than Paid In.
CAUSE OF THE CONDITION

County Treasurer Albert Albertson
received from the state treasurer a
check for s17,S32.12 for the countys
apportionment of the funds received
by the state for educational purposes.
This county paid into this fund of the
state the sum of $23,291.62, but ow-
ing to the fact that the county is very
wealthy and the number of children
is below the average, it does not re-
eeive an amount equal to that paid in.
In some counties the reverse is true
Ripley county, for instance, pays into
the state educational fund approx
mately s7,1OO and the state pays back
approximately 100000 In that county
the number of children is above the
average and consequently the county
receives more than it pays to the
state.
