he felt comforted to feel that his spirit
had been strong enough to leap forth
and see what was forbidden to his
material vision; and Annie, the poor
ignorant Aleut maid, had felt his pres
ence and defied the Swede, though
helpless and in his power. So. one day,
ne wrote his will in his diary, leaving
to her all his earthly possessions at
Unga.
"Just in case, Annie, my girl" he
whispered, lust in case you outwit-

find my bleached bones here, you'll

It was some two years later that an
adventurous trapper arrived upon the
little island Of the Aleutians. Being
temporarily driven in there from a
storm, he sought shelter and found 1t
in the deserted little cabin. AS he
advanced, he noted with surprise the
open door. and the air Of occupancy
which the place wore. At this moment
his eyes fell upon the skeleton of a
man lying upon the tattered, weather.
worn couch. The head seemed to be
turned in a listening attitude, the
hands were folded as If in prayer. BY
his side was the pathetic chronicle of
l. Il
lirious rawlings of his last hours. Out
side. in the snow, the trapper found
the skeleton Of poor Jerry as chron-
icled; but the secret Of the deserted
mans vision was buried forever in the
dead mans breast, and no one knew
the fate Of Ole Olson. the Swede, and
Annie, the Aleut half-breed.

The proximity of Alsatia to Temple
Bar, where the legal fraternity of
London still have their headquarters,
often led to encounters between the
students of law and the desperadoes
who were their neighbors. In 1896 the
nuisance Of Alsatia had become so
great that the Templars bricked up
their eastern gateway. through which
the bullies were wont to lead their
henchmen on their frequent raids into
the city Of London.
The Alsatians collected, killed one Of
the workmen, pulled down the wall
and when the sheriff Of the city arriv-
ed they carried of his gold chain,
which speedily went to the melting
pot.
Two years later Captain Wynter
was brought to the gallows for lead
ing this riot, and an act Of parliament
finally suppressed the privileges of
sanctuary in whitefriars and similar
spots in London. Warning was given
out that after certain date the mill
tary would hunt out all the old rook-
cries in the district, and there was
hasty flight Of bravos and bullies to
France, Ireland and elsewhere.
So passed the power Of the seven
teenth century gangster. He could not
exist once the full strength Of the
law was called into requisition, nor can
his prototype today.-New York Tele-
