DETECTIVE BURNS
CONTINUED from page 1O.)

Mr.. Hitchcock grunted with dis
gust. He had almost expected that
Wilkie would assign the whole Sc
cret Service on this thing.
Cant you do better than that?'
asked Hitchcock. what can one man
do?"
"He has never been mistaken yet,
said Wilkie. Hitchcock again grunt-
ed, but had to take Burns, because
he could see nothing else to do.
A little while after that Mitchell
was disgraced and dead, and the land
frauds of the Northwest were a thing
of the past.
In 1895 General Fredrico de Mora
planned to start a revolution in Costa
RIGA. His pal was Ricardo de Re-
quisens. They had been making
counterfeit notes of the 100 peso
notes of Costa Rica.
All of our Secret Service men had
failed to discover the counterfeiters,
and eventually, as a last resort, the
job was given to Billy Burns. All he
had to start with was a sofa wrapped
in burlap, in whish three thousand OF
the counterfeit notes had been stuffed
for shipment to Costa RIGA, and on
which was the mark ''X. X. 1884"
ht,rI
found it had originally been used in
packing a shipment of overalls from
a factory in Newburg and that 1884
was the shipping number. In New
burg Burns went over the books Of
the factory, and found that those par
ticular overalls had been shipped to
a dry goods store in Long Island City
There they told him that they had
recently sold a piece of burlap TO
an old lady by the name of Mrs.
Chevins. It did not look promising.
He was pretty nearly at the point
where all the other Secret Service
men had begged down. Burns, how
ever, did not bog down. He found
out that Mrs. Chevins had a son-in-
law named Ricardo de Requisens.
After that Burns became much more
interested in the case, and discov-
cred that de Requisens was living
with a young widow from Pittsburg.
Later he found out that the young
widow was a daughter of Mrs.
Chevins.
the widow Then he sent one of his
men to the Jail with bogus message
from de Requisens lawyer to the eff
feet that if he would produce the
plates of the counterfeit notes, the
Government would abandon the pros
ecution. After the messenger left
Mrs. Chevins called on de Requisens.
When she left him Burns followed
her to her home in Long Island City.
Through her window he watched her
in the front room take off her hat
and place it with chatelaine bag on
the table. Burns slid into the house
looked into the bag. and found a let
Ter there. In it's place he put a
dummy.
In the afternoon Mrs. Chevins came
out and Burns followed her across
the ferry to Cortlandt street. AS she
was turning into a doorway Burns
sent one of his men to say to her
"Be careful, you are watched" She
turned and left the entryway.
Burns Immediately entered, and
sure enough there was an engraver
office. OF course, he got the plates
and Ricardo de Requisens and de
Mora went to prison
One one occasion Secretary Hitch
cock called on Burns to report on MS
progress in certain fraud investiga
tions.
"How far have you gomez" said
Ethan Allen.

COMING TO MANNING JUNE %.
The Clemson Winthrop Agricultural and Do
frestic Science Train.

,
Owing to circumstances oyer which
we had no control the date OF the
starting of our train has been some
what delayed and it is now planned
to get it under way about the 5th Of
June, and arrive at Manning June
22nd.
The people Of this State should un
derstand that while this train is plan
ned and equipped by Winthrop and
Clemson colleges yet had it not been
for the hearty and liberal co-opera-
tion Of the railroads of this State its
operation would not have been pos
sible. The three great systems of the
State, the Southern, the Seaboard
Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line
have from the very beginning met the
proposition in the most cordial and
liberal manner. Not only are they
furnishing the equipment in the
shape of cars for this train but they
are also moving that train entirely
free of charge. I think it but proper
that this fact should be known as an
evidence of the interest that these
roads are taking in the welfare of the
people of the State

The Crow That Wears Fools Cap.
The following clever way Of keeping
crows away from a grainfeld IS used
BY the, farmer Of Holland: BE makes
some small caps Of stout paper and
smears around the inner side Of the
mouth Of each some birdlime or other
sticky stuff. In these he puts some
grains of corn and stands them about
his fields by pressing their points into
soft earth. When the crow finds one
of these paper caps he thinks himself
in great iiic.1 lux until he attempts to peck
at the tempting grain, when, to his
astonishment, he finds the cap attach
ed to his head-a regular fools cap
which will not even allow him to see
what course to take il he flies up.
However, he succeeds in reaching
some coarse grass OF bushes and after
much bewi1dered scrambling and flop
ping about gets his head out OF TINS
undesirable cap and ever afterWard
avoids the field where there are more
of them.

ch,no;no Tom Reeds Face.

Thomas 3. Reed was once the victim
of a printers error the unusual apt
ness Of which, after the first flush OF
indignation had subsided, appealed so
strongly to his sense Of the comic that
he never failed to refer to the matter
with the keenest gusto whenever he
met the man whom he, with the ut
most mock solennity, always held re-
.sponsible for it The late Colonel john

Azoturia, a disease to which horses
are subject and some Of the effects OF
which are shown in the permanently
swollen legs Of so many otherwise
good horses, is due to clogging Of the
system-particularly the kidneys
more albumen than they can oxidize
and eliminate. Some horses seem to
be more prone to the trouble than 9TH
ers, but in the main attacks Of the dis
ease are induced by the continuation Of
q hearty ration during a period Of idle
ness to horses which have been doing
heavy work, and acute cases are often
precipitated By driving too fast or put
ting to too hard work horses which
have been standing in the stable The
disease is much more likely to occur
with horses fed a ration Of clover,
alfalfa or other feed containing con-
siderable amounts Of protein. 1t is for
this account that wild hay, timothy
and oats are preferable to other feeds.

The Chin and tho Throat


Y Remember always to arch the throat,
almost as horse does. If a wons sn
talking to some one turns her sboul-
ders slightly from him and then glances
back the line Of the throat is always
good. For myself I have at all times
thought the delicate line from the up
oe woman's ear to the tip Of her
shoulder one OF the most exquisite Of
the feminine body. Many artists, /
believe, would agree with me- So re-
member what I say, dear ladies-do
not spoil, or hide that lovely contour
with high linen collars OF ooning.
Wear low collars, or If these are not
becoming to you at least dress your
ihroats. comfortably. Always carry the
chin high. II while you are still quite
young yon can remember to thrust the
chin upward and forward-not to an
absurd degree, Of course-you Will not
with advancing years have to fear
those soft rolls Of flesh above the col
lar that add so much to q woman's ap-
parent age-Anna PavloEa in Har-
