seemingly on the verge Of an unlaw-
full transaction to entrap him.
When he was brought to my ONCE
he was wise enough to realize that
the chances for his escape were very
small. When questioned he confessed
everything and promised to plead
guilty.
When his case came up In the
United States court ex-Judge Stuart
was his counsel. He was a criminal
lawyer of considerable ability, about
seventy-five years Of age. He had
been practising law in New York city
for many years and was the trusted
friend and adviser Of many of the
most notorious criminals of that day

quently brought tears even to the
eyes of the judge and the stony
hearted lawyers engaged In the prose-
cution, who were sometimes seen to
turn their heads during the dramatic
scenes enacted by the old hypocrite
while engaged in defending his client.
The evidence introduced in the
Russian engraver's case was SO strong
and overwhelming that anything like
a successful defense upon legal
grounds appeared quite impossible.
Stuart had been at my Office and made
an effort to secure the Russians re-
lease on his promise to assist in cap
turing other counterfeiters. But 1
turned the proposition down and his
counsel had said that his client would
plead guilty and throw himself upon
the mercy of the court. When the
case was brought to trial Judge
Stuart informed me that his client
had changed his mind and had con-
cluded to stand trial. He said the
had disregarded his advice
and he did not think there was any
chance of saving him.
When the case was called and the
jury was organized, saw they were
a choice selection of philanthropists.
The testimony produced on the trial
was more than sufficient to convict;
there did not seem to be even q
shadow of chance for the prisoners

and the door was easily crowded open
The printer was working away busily
and the engraver was seated at a
table with the counterfeit face plate
before him. The graver with which
he was tracing the lines was in his
hand.
When the detectives suddenly
pounced into the room the Russian
engraver came very near falling of
his chair In his establishment, but he
was an old hand at the business and
soon became cool and collected. He
could speak English fluently and the
work that he was engaged In was
proof of his ability as a fine engraver.
He had left his own country several
years before and had come to the
United States to engage in his pro-
fession. He had not been entirely
free from suspicion in his native
home. Suspicious circumstances are
dangerous over there and he was
compelled to fee to country where
he was unknown and where the laws
are less severely administered. The
Staunton head plate engraved by him
tested the judgment of skilled experts
beyond any similar issue that had
been put out by the counterfeiters.
The plate was a masterpiece.
Old Peter Delinsky was well known
among the counterfeiters as a plate
printer. When first approached by
the Russian engraver he declined the
offer made and said he had once been
in difficulty In similar Job and did
not care to risk his liberty the Sec
ond time. This made the engraver
more anxious to secure his services.
AS general thing 1t is dif1icult for
persons who have served terms In the
penitentiary to secure employment in
legitimate lines, hence they more
readily engage in crooked work. Coun-
terfeiters are ingenious In laying
plans to prevent discovery. Every
conceivable artifice is resorted to by
detectives to capture them and get
possession of the counterfeit plates.
The engraver in this case was a cley-
or man at his business. For this rea-
son 1t was necessary to employ a plot

What One Man Did
nv PERCY SHAW.

A group OF laborers was filling In
street trench; half dozen loaded show
els were poised In air when tho noon
whistle blew. All but one man dropped
the dirt back on the pile. The other five
were young, but they might as well have
been centenarinns. for they will be show
cling dirt till they die. Which is another
way OF saying that discriminating ma
ture has provided plenty OF room at the
bottom to accommodate her children OF

Nature never makes a mistake. and
therein she differs from the thinking
creatures she creates. She regulates her
multl-trillions OF unthinking animals and
plant families with incest precision; she
colors each flower for distinct purpose;
she fashions her iegions of insects that
they may better attain their foreordaiRed
goal in her general scheme; with ALL

tience that she supervises the titanic up

most important one. 1t is true that fine
feathers make fine birds, and the most
beautiful woman has her looks enhanced
by good frocks. Parents should never
forget that woman's youth is her flood
tide of opportunity, and whatever they
are going to do for their daughters
should be done then. 1t is the time when
they can help a girl to help herself to a
husband and home of her own. There
fore, with a family in moderate clrcum-
stances, 1t Is a good business investment
to spend every cent that can possibly
be afforded in dressing the girls. and
letting them go about while they are
young.
Finally, mothers and fathers, and espe-
oially mothers, can do a lot about maxi
ing home attractive and the sort of
place to which men would like to go. In
a way you have. always got to bait your
trap, and a cordial welcome, a gay and
sunny atmosphere, and a few dinners and
suppers go long way toward toling de-
sired men in, and making a belle of a
girl.
All OF this isn't saying that parents
should throw their daughters at mems
heads. Far from it. No right thinking
person advocates kidnapping an unsus-
pected bachelor, or inveigling any man
into marriage, but there is a way to en-
courage matrimony as well as a way to
discourage 1t, and to cosset love as we'll

9ln the good old days. before the ac-
chrsed living room in which a whole fam
lily herded together was devised, and
when there was a set parlor, sacred to
the girls and their beaux, every girl OF
ordinary attractions had plenty of beaux,
and in due time got comfortably married.
Nowadays when the young man who goes
a-visiting has to sit in the bosom OF the
girls family, and where he has to do his
love making II he does It at all, in the
presence of all her immediate relatives
men callers are few, and counting is fast
becoming a lost art.
Nor is this to be wondered at. There
are some things for which a man wants
privacy, and the absolute certainty that
no other ear than the one for which they
are intended is listening to his remarks,
Ind that is when he makes love. 1t is
death to sentiment to suspicion that a
cold, dispassonate third party is taking
notes. and the apprehension that beyond
a pair of flimsy curtains papa Is reading
the evening paper and mamma is darning
socks. and little brother and little sister
are waiting with the artless curiosity OF
childhood, to hear how he does It, has
prevented many a man from popping the
question.

nize that the best and happiest career for
a woman is matrimony, IL is just as much
