JOKE ON OFFICERS.
Sent VIM. Ryan to California on Fake
Identification.

local attorney who appears fire.
quently in court in connection with
the more important sort of criminal
cases has been having a number of
good laughs over a letter which has
just come from William Ryan in San
Francisco, announcing his own free
dom there. Ryan is the federal pris-
oner who, with considerable flourish
of trumpetS, was turned over to a war
den from San Quentin penitentiary on
August 26 on the theory that he was
wanted there to complete seventeen
years of a twenty-one-year sentence
upon which he had been paroled.
Ryan's letter announces that he had
no sooner been presented at the peni-
Tertiary office than the Bertillon man
ordered his release. He was the wrong
man.
The lawyer says the joke is all on
Deputy Sheriff Ben Judkins and Sher-
iff Ericsson of Wabaunsee county
more particularly on Ericsson, be-
cause it was he who dug up Ryans
alleged identification in an illustrated
circular on criminal descriptions. The
California man had been missing for
seven years. For weeks Ryan, together
with William Carson and Dan Carney,
had been held in the Shawnee county
Jail in the belief that they were i'm
plicated in a series of postoffice rob-
berries in northeastern Kansas and Ne
braska.
It came to be an almost daily affair
for some new set of United States
deputy marshals, up-country sheriffs
or postoffice inspectors to present
themselves at the county Jail office and
demand to be shown the three prison
ers.
But the efforts of all the state and
government officers to fasten some
crime upon the three suspects proved
unavailing until they were finally dis
charged by United States Commission
er Frank Campbell. In the meanwhile
Ryan had been identified as an es-
capped California prisoner, despite the
fact that he was three inches too short
TO answer the description. Carney was
let go but the third man, who had had
some interesting looking little chisels in
his pockets when arrested, was re-
arrested on the theory that he could be
held for owning burglar tools
Ryan started for California in a
CHEEKY frame of mind. I'm going TO
have a, nice ride said he, all for
nothing. I've never been to California
before and I expect to enjoy the
change. 1t will be a relief. anyway, 10
escape being paved over by postoffice
inspectors" Evidently Ryan was right
in his belief that the San Quentin au-
thorities would refuse to hold him ana
now he is having pleasant time see
ing San Francisco.

BOYS PUT IN DUNGEON.
Broke Jail Windows and Decorate All
WaIls-GO to Reform School.

A youth rejoicing in the name of
Ryneholm Rucks, abbreviated to
"Riny" Rucks by most of his acquain-
lance, and his companion Charles An
derson, were ordered this morning to
be sent to the Reform school, move
jailers for whom they have been max
ing life interesting in the past few
days. The lads, ID and Is years of
age, respectively, had been arrested
charged with petty thieving and in
corrigibility. 1t was the second or
third time they had been before the
juvenile court.
Thursday afternoon, in an excess of
youthful energy, they inaugurated a
decorative scheme in their cells in the
county Jail. First they broke the glass
out of the windows of their cells in
order TO admit more light and air and
marks to passers in the street. firing
of this move they hit upon a larger
scheme. At noon they had been fur
niShed molaSSes with their dinners
and a quantity remained. Employing
this for its adhesive qualities they
tore open the mattresses upon their
cots, extracted a lot of the cotton
stuffing and executed decorative de-
signs with tufts of cotton on the cell
out they worked on the mural designs
but after that they concluded by
MASKING up the cups and pans with
which their dinner had been served.
When these activities were reported
Under Sheriff BayleSs put the two boys

emerged with meek demeanor this
morning and sat through their hear

Kansans, two of them Topekans. who
telegraphed Governor w. r. Stubs to
oppose the resolutions when brought
before the congress.
A meeting was held in the office OF
DIR. Eva Harding this afternoon and
an organization formed to fight the
proposition.
The twenty-six kilograms sent to st.
Paul were returned to the governors

parted prior to their receipt there. His
private secretary, Dave Leahy, now is
returning them to the senders with a
statement of their nondelivery in time

Governor Stubs now is in Chicago.
DR.. Eva Harding and Willis Nc
Kinstry, a Christian Science prac-
titioner, are the two Topekans among
the Kansans who oppose the new de-
partment. DR.. Harding, in discussing
the movement against the so-called
trust propaganda, declared that not
much has been gained by medical leg
islation and that such a department
would be of little good. The function
of the department as seen by Dr.
Harding would depend greatly upon the
man. in charge aud as the proposed de-
partment is to be a cabinet office II
created, change in policy every -FOUR
years is the only result that can be seen
by those who oppose the bill.
In discussing the proposition Dr.
Harding likened it to the modern
medical colleges which she says in
struct in theory only as concerns the
practice of medicine. She cited that
the doctors of the old school are in her
opinion the more successful ones anu

operations are to a great measure the

tinued, demands that new theories be

 And. indeed, it seemed as if the long period of calm had been finally definitely broken, for the wind grew petceptibly stronger with every pass ing hour, and as the breeze strength cned the frigate deminished her dis tance from the trader. Like most ships of her class, the harder it blew the better she footed it, carrying sail easily when the merchantmen would have to reduce her canvas or rip out her masts.
 By nightfall it was blowing a good topgallant breeze and the frigate was so close aboard that she had several times tried to reach the ship from one of her long main-deck guns Fortu nately, every shot fell appreciably short, and when the night closed down she had not yet made the required distance.
 During the night Captain Hiram and Mir. Conant did everything in human power to shake off their pursuer. They lighted buoys and flung them over board, and changed their course, the wind holding steady and blowing stronger all the time. Captain Hub bell carried a terrific spread of sail; the masts were bending and quiver- ing. but he would take in nothing.

Susan had remained on deck large part of the night, but had finally gone below at her fathers urgent insistence. When day broke, although he was loath to awaken her, knowing how she must need sleep, her father summoned her to the deck. He did not know what might happen, and she was too valu- able an adjunct to be neglected in the scheme of things.
 You sent for me, father?" said the young woman, as she slowly climbed the ladder to the raised poop.
 Yes, daughter"
 And for what reason?"
 ITO show you our friend off yonder,' ' he replied, pointing to windward at the early sun.
 Susan turned and stared at the frigate.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS.
 Capt. Hiram Hubbel and his daughter Susan, whose 0other is dead and who lived entirely on her fathers ship, often wearing, indeed mems clothes, are bound for Boston on the ship Hiram and Susan from Bordeaux. The crew turns out to be a bad lot, especially the boatswain, Francois. The only reliable man is the mate, MT. Conant who is secretly in love with the girl. They are attacked by a British frigate, the time being the Am erican revolution. During the engage ment Francois, taking advantage of the confusion, forces his attentions on Susan, and is flogged by order of the captain.

CHAPTER V.
The Coming of the Breeze.

The outbreak of the boatswain and the evident sympathy of the crew rem dered the position of the American ship doubly precarious. The men had fought we'll the first time. What would they do if they were called up on for another desperate defense? He questioned Mir. Conant, who had joined them, as to his opinion.
 Fight! Of course they'll fight, an swered the mate, glooming over the situation. Not because they love us or care a whipstich for this ship, but because they don't want to choose be- tween British prison an a British ship. Some of them have been on English men-of-war and know what hells they are," continued the New Englander, who had the popular Am erican idea of the time of the Revo- lution of the British ships, and which was, indeed, not without warrant.
 The year was i17S3, and the long war was drawing to close. The in dependence of the Coolnies was in sight, but that did not affect the stat us of the two ships in the least de- gree. One was as bent upon capture, and the other upon escape, as if the war had just begun.
 Do you think they will attack us again if the breeze doesn't hold?" asked Susan
 Hardly" returned her father.
 And they certainly wouldn't at tack us during the day?" queried the girl We should beat them off easily"
 What are they doing now?" inter- rupeted the mate.
 Susan turned and stared at the ship. The youngest and keenest-eyed, she made out distinctly what the others only saw dimly.
 They are getting boats overheard, '" she said.
 Certainly, not to move against us" exclaimed her father
 They're going to tow, think" said the mate.
 So they are" said Captain Hiram Susan, will you fetch me the glass;"
 When she handed it to him he fo- cussed it on the bows of the other ship.
 "Six boats full of men. l see no arms" he said. Yes, they're towing. 7"
 He shut to the glass with a snap.
 Get out the boats, MT. Conant. We'll do the same thing There are four British prisoners who could pull an oar Put them into boat Yes, and bring up Francois, too, and let him go with them. You take command of the boats yourself, Mr. Conant."
 Aye, ave- returned the mate. But keep your weather-eye lifting Don't let them get away"
 They sha'n't escape me-" returned the New Englander, going forward.
 Presently the four quarter boats of
