window on more than one morning.
However, that has nothing to do with
the case.
His phlegmatic exterior merely
masks his tenacious intensity OF pur-
nose. He became acquainted with the
haunts of the under world in Myslow-
itz. which, after all, was not difficult
achievement in such comparatively
small community One night, at
cheap boarding house in the lower
part of the town, he managed to make
an examination OF the overcoats that
hung on the hall rack. One of them
had a purple lining and large part
of it had been torn out 1t matched
perfectly with the fragment that had
been found in the stiffened fingers OF
the murdered cashier.
Busdorf learned that the garment
belonged to one Julius Woolwich. The
latter was youth Of only nineteen
years Of age, But he had already com
pressed as much crime into that time

turning to the bank, found that the
cashier was dead. He lay there
clutching the bit Of purple lining in
his Icy fingers.
The police made careful investiga-
ton, but did not succeed In obtaining
any facts beyond those that have al
ready been related. The few people
who were in and around the bank at
the time were too much excited to
give an intelligent description of the
assassin and his accompliccs. The
local authorities did all in their power
to run down the crooks, but without
result. Their resources naturally
were not great enough to cope with
gang OF such audacious and blood
thirsty criminals.
In addition to this, the local police
seemed to have wholesome fear of
the thieves. They did their duty as
far as that term is commonly accept
ed. but they did ont appear to have
any great desire for a hand-to-hand
encounter with men who were so ready
to shoot and kill.
In this emergency the authorities
of Myslowitz appealed to the police of
Berlin. They asked that first-class
officer be detailed to run out this
case and to bring the offenders to JUS
tiee, and thereby put an end to the
reign of terror which was otherwise
sure to continue in their town for
some time to come. AS consequence
of this, Otto Busdorf. of the Royal
Police of Berlin, was assigned to the
task of bringing the criminals to JUS
tice He came unannounced and he
wandered about the quaint little from
tier town until he knew the place and
the people by heart. He sat in the
rathskellars with mug of beer be-
fore him and studied the people who
came and went He dressed in COM
monplace style and acted in such
self-effacing way that his presence
was scarcely noticed. Busdorf is a
small, compactly-built man. He Is
smooth-faced, red-headed, has blue
eyes, positive chin and jaw, and Is
about thirty years of age. His only
weakness, and he confesses it with a
smile, is his love for the cornet. To
him 1t Is the music that hath charm
to soothe the savage breast" What
his neighbors think of 1t Is not to be
mentioned in this connection. En-
vious persons say that bootjacks. hair

though badly wounded, got hold OF
him and tried to throw him out OF the
room, but he was already dying from
the effects of the pistol shots and
could do but little. However, he
clutched the inside Of the assassins
coat and In the struggle that ensued
he tore away large part OF the pur-
pie lining of the garment.
By this time the noise OF the en-
counter was heard on the outside and
some people started to come into the
bank. A woman was the first to en-
ter, and as the crooks saw her they
hastily gathered up their booty and
started for the door. She endeavored
to stop them and they promptly
knocked her down. When they
reached the outside of the building a
number OF citizens started after them,

their speed, while the murderer fepe

There When They Are Found
Guilty,

Doctor Dunbar-Brunton, we'll
known big game hunter, who has spent
some years in northeastern Rhodesia,
has some interesting stories to tell
of that country, where he lived AZ .
district medical officer.
The lions which roam the country
stretching southwark from Lake
Mwern have been man eaters from
time immemorial. Within a recent Pc
Rod fifty-three men have been killed
by them in one district. The natives
cannot protect themselves, as they
have no guns, and run additional
risks owing to their carelessness.
1t happens not seldom that two q
three men sitting In the open tell
ing the old folk lore stones which
they love SO dearly will be bounced
upon by man-eating lion and filled
before they can turn their heads.
Many man STOPPING over his tobacco
plants has been seized and carried
of by lion which has made its way
stealthily through the outskirts Of the
village.
1t is no wonder that they hold to
this superstition, for the ferocity oa
their chiefs has been beyond words
to describe. The late Mwamba was
a blood-thirsty monster. Determined
to show his power over his tribe and
to punish them for the immoralities a.
which they are too often guilty. he
put them to torture and death for the
least offense. Fifty men and women
were spiked on stakes, and as they
did not die quickly were roasted In
their last agonies by bonfires lighted
close to them.
For flirting and light behaving womr
en- had their noses, ears and lips cut
off and Doctor Dunbar-Brunton has
seen many of these creatures. For
speaking against a chief the punish
| ment was mutilation of the tongue and
ears. For stealing one hand was
chopped off at the first offense and the
other hand at second offense. This
penal code was in full operation n
lately as ten years ago. The pres
ent Mwamba is a man Of somewhat
milder disposition.

Posed as Woman
for IS Years

The Chevalier DEon De Beaumont
was famous character in his time,
which covered the period of eighty
two years from 172S to 1910. His
title to celebrity rests chiefly on the
fact that during the last thirty-fve
years of his life he adopted feminine
attire and passed as a woman at the
French court and In London and then
left the world in doubt as to whether
he was not, in fact, woman. Atten-
ton again has been directed to him
by the publication in France Of new
book. "D'Eon De Beaumont, His Life
and Times" which has just been is
sued in London as an English trans
lation.
The chevalier began public life as
a soldier, and later was attached to
the French legation at st. Petersburg,
where he took part in negotiations Of
the most important nature. Even at
that early date, 1757.62, the question
arose at the Russian court IL DEon
were not a woman. Probably DEon
did secret service work at st. Peters
burg in feminine attire which aroused
the comment. After some years at
st. Petersburg the chevalier rejoined
the army and was aid-de-camp 20 Mar
shall Broglio In the campaign on the
Rhine in 1862. The next year he
went to London as secretary to the
Duke di Nivernois, who went over
to negotiate the peace Of 1853. For
his services in that matter DEon was
invested by the French king with the
order of st. Louis, and when the Duke
di Nivernois returned to France he
was for a time appointed minister
plenipotentiary of France to England.
About 1771 the st. Petersburg gos-
sip reached London and there 1t soon
grew into a debate which was backed
by immense sums of money. In the
next few years the wagers on the
question as to whether the cheyalier
was a man or a woman amounted in
the aggregate TO one hundred thou
sand pounds sterling, and the question
got into the courts before so distin-
guished a jurist as Lord Mansfield.
The result was that the chevalier
thereafter was universally regarded
as a woman, although he repeatedly
insisted that he was not. Leaving
England, he returned TO France,
where 1t seems that he was induced
willingly or unwillingly, to adopt FEM
mime attire, and from that time on
till his death he dressed as wom-
an and passed as woman at the
French court and In London. He re-
manned in France until the Revolu-
tion and then returned to London.
where, still in feminine garb. he gave
public exhibitions In fencing in which
art he was an expert. The chevalier
died in want May q, 1910, and was
buried in the Church Of st. Pancreas,
! London.
The most famous painters OF his
| time painted him, and the most skill
| full engravers engraved his portraits.
| The multitude of portraits that re-
main bear witness TO the vogue of the
| cheyalier in the zenith of his career.
| He was caricatured, u poet likened
him to Joan OF Arc, and privateering
! ship was named the Chevalier D'Eon.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century so celebrated person as
Horace Walpole wrote lif. OF him
and edited his letters. With the APP

the riddle of his sex is solved. The
