The count rose and, warmly press

for her kindness. He accepted her
invitation, and without losing any

GOULD IN ROLE OF MAGICIAN
Father Of Edwin Refuses to Retrieve
Lost Hat When Asked to Second
Time In One Day.

Edwin Gould says that when he was
a little boy his father took him on an
excursion into the country. The father
several times cautioned him against
leaning his head SO far out Of the car
window. Little Edwin wanted to know
why, and his father told him that his
hat might blow on The youngster
then jammed his hat down on his head
and said:
Now It can't blow on"
But suddenly the hat blew on. and
the little fellow was disconsoiate His
father had snatched 1t on and hidden
1t behind him. But when Edwin be-
gan to cry and sob. his father said
There 1t comes!" and then began to
whistle.
The little fellow looked out Of the
window. and suddenly his hat was slip
ped upon his head.
Il was amazed" says Mr. Gould. Il
thought that my wonderful daddy had
whistled and performed a miracle for
me. laughed with glee. threw my hal
out OF the window. and said:

many lady accuaintances?"
Il should say there isn't doubt
about that. He was wild"
And possibly his death was due
to jealousy on the part of rival
1T is quite possible"
did you know his uncle?"
Il did. lent him money occasion
ally, but he paid me in full before he
died"
Danevitch stopped his questioning
at this point. AS he left the house he
was ofsthe opinion that he had found
a clue to the mystery, and began to
think cut ways and means of follow
ing 1t up. In semi-fashionable quar-
ter Of st. Petersburg lived a lady
known as Madame Julie ST. Joseph.
She was of French origin. but had
been for many years In Russia. Her
husband had been dead for a long
time. She was extremely handsome,
and at this period was about forty
years of age, but might have passed
for being a good deal younger AS
wealthy and pretty widow, she was
much sought after by men of all
classessand conditions. Quarrels about
her we're innumerable. and more than
one jealous sutton had 4ost his life
in a duel of which the bewitching
Julie was the cause. The style she
elected to live in was compatible with
the possession of richness. She kept
up splendid establishment. her
house was sumptously furnished; she
had many servants and numerous
horses. Among her servants was q
Creole, a man of medium height but
powerful build, and with sullen.
morose expression. He was called
Roko, but of his origin and history
nothing was known. That he was
blindly devoted to his mistress was a
matter of common knowledge
1t was the beginning of the Russian
New Year and Madame St. Joseph
gave a ball 1t was very grand
affair, but the people who attended
it could not lay claim to any high
social position, at least so far as the
ladies were concerned. The ladies
who were in the habit of frequentine
the fascinating jules salons were OF
questionable reputation. Julie was
not recognized as person Of social
distinction, and in the feminine world
some rather cruel things were said
about her. The men. however. repre-
sented many grades of life: the army
navy, law, the diplomatic service. art

orally, though not few Of these men
were at considerable pains to con-
ceal the fact that they visited the
charming widow.
Among the guests who attended the
ball was a dark-skinned somewhat
peculiar looking man, said to be a
Polish count, named Prebensh. He
had a heavy moustache and beard,
and wore spectacles. AS he appeared
to be an entire stranger to the COM
pany, the hostess took him for time
under her wing; but as he could not,
or would not, dance. and seemed to
find Irresistible attraction in the buf-
fet. where there we're unlimited sup
plies of wines and vodka, she left him
to his own devices. At length the
count, from the effects, apparently, OF
too many strong drinks. sought a
quiet nook in an anteroom, and en-
sconcing himself in large chair sunk
into heavy sleep. Some time later,
when the night was growing old and
the grayness OF the winter dawn was
beginning to assert itself, and the
guests had dwindled down to a mere
handful, Roko, the Creole, entered the
room. Seeing the count asleep he
shook him. but receiving no response
went away, returning in few minutes
with another man. The newcomer was
Alexander vlassovsky, who APP
preached and being no more success
full than Roko in his attempts to
awaken the sleeper. told the servant
to carry him upstairs to bedroom.
That was done and the count was
tossed upon bed and left there; but
before half an hour passed Vlassovsky
came into the room carrying small
shaded lamp.
He passed the light of the lamp over
the sleeping counts eyes and shook

Spouse Vlassovslxy placed the lamp on
a table and. seating himself in chair
by the bedside, began to search the
pockets of the guest. The search re-
suited In the production Of miscel-
laneous collection Of articles which
were duly returned. but at last peck
et-book was drawn forth which was
opened and found to contain a con-
siderable number of bank notes.
These Vlassovsky transferred to his
own pocket and, replacing the pocket
book. withdrew. Some hours later
Count Prebenski rang the bell in his
room and In response to the sum-
mons Roko appeared. The count eyed
him for some moments in surprise,
and then asked: Where am I. and
what time is it?"
"You are in the house OF Madame
st. Joseph. 1t is three o'clock In the
afternoon. Your excellency INDUCED
too freely in liquor and we had to put

sVery good. AS soon as have per-
formed my toilet, return here and

Roko bowed and withdrew. In half
an hour he was back again. and fol-
lowed by the count, led the way to
Madame st. Joseph's boudoir. Dressed
in an elegant fur-trimmed dressing
gown. madame was stretched upon a
divan. without rising. she extended
her hand and said:

An Englishwoman who was in this
country recently told the following
stories of her countrymen's depend
ence upon the word bloody" A po-
litical candidate, in canvassing for
votes, said he believed in the "one
man, one vote" system Of representa-
ton. AS his bearer apparently did
not comprehend, he explained at
length that he believed that every
man should have vote whether he
had any property or not and that q
man should have but one vote. no mat
ter how much properey he had. still
his nearer looked mystified. Finally
in desperation &c said. Don't you un-
derstand? One bloody man, one
bloody vote" The reply was. "0f
course. Why didn't you say that In
the first placer"
Another man resolved to cast the
word bloody" from his vocabulary.
The first time he made speech after
his resolve, he tried to say that some
thing was absolutely true. He sue

count. Those notes were not genuine.
and when be attempted to pass them
he was arrested. for Danevitch had
notified the Moscow police,
Subsequent revelations brought to
light the manner in which the arch
criminals worked together. Madame
jules beauty lured many men to her
side. and she bled them of their
money. her plan being to caiole them
into giving her lien on any property
they might possess. This was man
aged by the aid of vlassovsky, and
when the victim had been securely
caught he was poisoned. The poisons
were concocted by Madame Julie her
self. She had picked up Roko in
South America. where she had been
for some time. and weaving her spell
about him. had made him absolutely
her slave.
It need scarcely be said that with
her arrest in ST. Petersburg Madame
st. Joseph's career came to an end.
From the moment that Danevitch en-
tered her house her doom was sealed.
Believing him to be Count Prebenski.
she begged him to help her fnan-
cially. and he drew up document
which purported to make over to her
at his death certain estates in Poland.
Having secured him. as she thought.
her next step was to poison him by
small doses Of black hellebore so that
he might gradually sicken and die.
Her devilish cunning was evidenced
in every move she made She would
not appear in public with him, nor
did she allow any of the visitors to
her house to see him. Consequently
1t would not be, known that she asso-
ciated with him. AS his Illness devel-
opened by means of repeated doses.
she would have him removed to a
hotel, and she knew that. as In Col.
Ignatofs case. he would shrink from
letting 1t be known that he had been
intimate with her. But Danevitch
! proved too much for her. The poisoned
| barley-tea he submitted to analysis,
and the evidence against her was
overwhelming. When she found that
there was no hope, she was deter.
mined to defeat Justice, and one
morning she was found dead in her
cell from the effects of self-admin'
istered dose Of prussic acid. The
acid was conveyed to her by a warder
who had been bribed by one OF her
friends. It cost him his liberty, how
ever. for he was sent to northern 81
IBERIA for the term OF his natural life
Roko died soon afterwards from fever
contracted in the prison, but he was
faithful to the last. for not word
could be wrung from him calculated
to incriminate the strange woman te
whom he had been such devoted
slave. Vlassovsky was deported tt
northern Siberia IN company with the
treacherous warder.
The number of Madame st. Joseph'i
victims was never determined. Tha
they were numerous was certain. and
had It not been for Danevitch's inter
ference she would probably have pur
sued her infamous career for an in
definite period Of time without detec
ton.
