session of his soul. He became sub
merged In deep meditation, in which
he sought to arrange in consecutive
order the information gathered by
Donnelly and Carson. The conviction
forced itself on his mind that Miss
Holcomb's arrest was based on cir
cumstance from which more than
one inference might be drawn. The
fact that she knew the combination or
Mrs. Missioner's safe did not mean, OF
course. that she took the Jewels. On
the surface, 1t looked as II hers was
the exclusive opportunity to possess
herself Of the gems, outside Of Mrs.
Missioner herself. But Britz felt that
the depth Of the case had not been
sounded In fact. that the surface had
not even been penetrated.
The only thread that connected
Miss Holcomb with the theft was the
diamond found in her room. But TO
Britzs experienced mind, this circum-
stance pointed rather toward inpo-
cence than guilt. For, he argued, II
she had taken those jewels, she would
not have been 30 careless as to leave
one OF them In her boudoir. That dia-
mond, Britz was convinced, was
placed there Intentionally and with
sinister purpose by hand other than
Miss Holcomb's.
Britz rose from his seat, donned his
topcoat and hat, and made his way to
the tier Of cells one OF which held
Miss Holcomb. He encountered Dom
nelly and Carson on the way.
What time are you going to ar
raign herr" he asked.
Right now" Donnelly replied. 1--WE
got the magistrate to hold court an
hour longer for u.s."
A turnkey swung open the iron door
of the cell. The detectives found Miss
Holcomb huddled in a corner, the
wan light Of the corridor falling on
her tear-bathed face.
Don't take me oack! They want
to harm me! ( haven't done any
thing!" she criyd, when she saw the
visitors. Britt stepped forward with
an air of command and waved the
other detectives back. He scraped his
shoulders through the cell door and
sat on the rude cot, facing the woman.
Miss Holtomb." he said pleasantly,

It is necessary under the law to bring

LIVING BY THEIR WITS.

There is an army of people who live by their wits in the large cities but they could not if their clients had any wit at all
 It is unexplaina ble why folks will go to people to reveal their future to them who have ragged past and no future of their own that they feel sure of-who pretend to be able to disclose all things to them, when they do not themselves know when they have become classified as frauds and the police are about to raid them
 These impostors have so multiplied in Chicago that Mayor Harrison has ordered the police and law depart ments to clean the city of them. Most of them work under the guise of clair Voyants. They pretend to reveal the future, reunite sweethearts and un- tangle all love and domestic difficult ties, find lost treasure. sell all sorts of mines at fabulous prices; anything, in fact, that the dupe wants sdone. The crusade followed an exposure of their methods by the Chicago Tribune. aft CT a reporter had visited a number of the seers. Their methods are all the same. By trickery they answer a few questions to gain the confidence of the victim. Then they say they can't make everything come out just right, but that the dupe lacks magnetism" and if that lack is supplied success will bo much surer, quicker and greater. Of course they agree to supply the needed magnetism" by a course of treatments,'' at from s25 to $1o0, de- pending upon the apparent prosperity of the dupe.

THE PLAY OF POLITICS.

It is apparent enough to the coun- try that the so-called insurgents are politicians playing a new hand for a new grip on power, which at the present time promises no success to them Perhaps no paper in the coun- try has shown them up more clearly than the Kansas City Journal when it put their play in this form for the ed ification of it's readers:
 "A boy entered a butcher shop and asked the price of sausage. Fifteen cents a pound. said the man behind the scales. They only asked me 10 cents a pound for it down to the other shop, said the boy. Why didn't you buy it there?' asked the man. They didn't have any, said the boy. Well, said the man, we wouldn't ask but 10 cents pound for it either if we didn't have any The story reminds Joe Sat terthwaite of the democratic house in session at Washington. They have passed a bill putting on the free list a lot of articles. They know the bill will not pass the senate, nor be signed by the president But they think it will make first-class campaign mat ter for next year. Were it possible for it to become law, were the re- the country up to the democrats, they would not be so rash in putting such bill through one house. "A tariff for revenue only cannot be made out of free list. But. like the man who had no sausage to sell, they can make very cheap quotations
