| Detective Fitzpatrick was fortunate
enough to secure photograph of her
and number of copies of it were
made and forwarded to the branches

cities of the country.
She was first recognized in Cincin

lar counterfeit bill. When arrested
and searched, no other bad money
was found upon her person, and she
was released for the want of sufficient
evidence.
A secret service officer carrying
the widows photograph was sure he
had met her while on his way from
Washington to New York. He was
not quite certain, but was sure enough
to attempt to follow her for the pur.
pose of learning her location. She

The good hearted southerner's sym.
pathy was not confined to words
alone. He went at once to her little
store and paid the $500 demanded by
the keeper and left her 500 besides
to relieve her immediate wants.
1t was only few days following
this when Detective Fitzpatrick con-
cluded to enter the Widow Woods
place Of business and make a thor
ough search. He had obtained some
new evidence in regard to her deal
ing with "queerv money.
When he entered the suspected
place he discovered that it was nearly
empty. Everything of value had been
removed. A number of cheap arti-
fetal flowers, bits of worn ribbon and
lace and empty bandboxes constituted
the stock. 1t was all appearance and
no value. The little room in the rear
Of the place had been the Madam's
living quarters; 1t also was empty ex-
cept few tattered garments strewn
about.
What puzzled the detective most
was to account for the removal of the
goods without attracting his attention.
The movements of the woman had
been carefully watched and the de-
tective had recognized the Carrondo-

Their Last Hope Gone.

When the minister praised the rasp-
berry jam at Mrs. Green's bountiful
Saturday night supper, he could not
imagine why Angie and Horatio, the
twins, gazed at him so reproachfully.
Don't you like raspberry jam, my lit
tie man." he asked Horatio.
Eyes, sir, do and Angie does"
said Horatio, in distinctly resentful
tones, land mother told us that she
was afraid the last she made wasn't
quite up to the mark, and if you didn't
praise it, Angie and l could have it for

Mad River, near where Dayton stands,

1t is recorded that when Tecumseh
was notified to move his band of In

he replied:

right to move us because we were
the first owners; the Great Spirit

At least fourteen, and possibly six
teen, teams will start in the big six
hour team race that will be run at the
Nelodrome July14.
Fourteen teams have been made up
by Manager John Chapman thus far, as
shown above.
The coupling of the riders is very
fair and the riders themselves are very
we'll satisfied.
The strongest teams in the race are
the mcfarland Clarke, Fogler-Hil,
Kramer-Fenn, Goulett-De Mara and
Lawrence-Root combinations.
In a six-hour race there is little to
choose between these five teams.
Willie Fem was a lucky boy to dra W
Frank Kramer, for If the teams are on
even terms at the finish Kramer will
be the one best bet for the big money.
Willie is riding well at the present
time and will make a good teammate
for the champion.
Mcfarland and Clarke will be very
good and will be c%ontenders at all
times.
The harder the race the better will be
the chances of the d and Jackie" team.
And there will probably be repeated
attempts by various teams TO gain a
lap. which will make it a hard race.
In addition there will be prizes hung
up for the leaders at the enc of each
hour and at intermediate distances,
which will make the race fast.
The ace is looked forward to with
keen interest by the riders and they
are all doing special training for the
event. All the six-day race parapher-
MALTA that is used by the riders in the
long grind in Madison Square Garden
has been resurrected and put into
shape for this race.
Camps are being erected ready to
be placed alongside of the track. and
the race will nave all the appearance
of a regular six-day contest.
There is a big demand for seats. and
probably the crowd that will witness
the race will establish a new record for
attendance at a bike race.

W DAYS RACING
AT ELKWOOD PARK

The program for the two days Of
racing that will be had at Elkwood
Park. Long Branch, Saturday, July l.,
and Tuesday, July 4, is announced.
Six races nave been arranged for
each day, and the conditions are such
that will insure high-class entertain
ment. For the opening day three OF
the races are on the fiat, while the
cross-country features are the Silver
Brook cup, Elberon handicap and the
Red Bank cup.
For the second day there is the am
division of races, three being on ths
fiat and three across country. The
Long Branch open steeplechase is the
one that will probably receive the best
entries, and it is the most promising
of any of those offered.
