been known to act foolishly under try
ing circumstances.
Chief Frazer recalled that the guilty
man in the famous Briggs murder had
been captured from the fact that his
photograph had been published in one
of the London newspapers. Indeed, this
case resenbled the Gold murder in
many of it's leading aspects. Mr.
Briggs was thrown from railway car
riage and killed. A hat that was left
by the murderer contained lining on
which was printed the name of a well
known English halter. This clue led
to the discovery and arrest of the
culprit, although 1t involved a pur-
suit across the Atlantic ocean.
The chief felt that some similar clue
might be found in the present in
stance. Accordingly he addressed him
self to the work of minute examina-
ton Of the railway carriage. The
first discovery exceeded his fondest
expectations. Two Hanoverian coins
were picked up from the floor Of the
vehicle. That was good starting
point. A detective was next sent to
the neighborhood where Lamon re-
sided. Every shop-keeper in that sec
tion was subjected to a severe cross
examination. Most Of them knew the
man, but said that he had not made
any recent purchases. A young

The tolls were now closing in

It's ideals, its interests, It's aims and
its activities.
OF course no one can shut his eyes
to the fact that some marriages are
only union, never a unity; and the
number OF them is all too large.
Whether such is due to the abnormal
character of one or both of the parties
to the marriage or to the unwilling
ness Of one or both to promote that
unity, such marriage. to adopt the
words Of Talleyrand, is worse than a
crime. it is a blunder.
1t &c: ms a pity that those who are

riage for either Of the reasons given,
cannot be restrained from the tragic
step. But once the step is taken there
is no release Of the worthy one from
any Of the responsibilities Of the vows
voluntarily taken, and there is nothing
to do but to cultivate all the virtues
they both need and supply to the de-
l:nquent what is lacking. A great
power will come from such disci-
pline,and from such altruism. In time
the effect of the example may be felt,
as new indicating point is found for

That is kind of triumph no one is

Of utter disintegration. It will be q

When the railway carriage arrived

THAT he had been the victim Of muir

Shortly before the execution was to

.N 1868 was detailed on court

I'm 1903 was detailed on court
martial to sit at Nashville for
the purpose of trying cases OF
delinquency that had occurred in
the Army of the Cumberland. One
young fellow, Sergeant Milton Troop,
who was brought before us, engaged
my attention the moment l saw him.
His bearing was soldierly, and his
countenance bore the stamp Of a
strong character. He was charged
with desertion to the enemy.
His disappearance occurred while his
regiment was in proximity to the Con-
federates. Later on the command at
tackled and surprised small body of
the enemy, taking number of prison
ers, among them the accused. His sto-
ry was that on the evening Of his dis
appearance he had pointed out to his
captain that the command was liable
to be surrounded by the enemy. The
captain had declared that there was no
enemy near. Troop offered to ride out
and reconnoiter. The captain gave his
consent. Troop had not gone far before
he was called upon from the rear to
surrender. He had ridden between the
enemy's vedettes.
The captain. Croker, being called
fatty denied the whole story, declared
that he had had no such warning and
had not given the sergeant permission
or orders to scout. The matter rested
on a question of yeracity between the
two men. The scale was turned against
the accused by the producing of a

ern.' 1t was not signed. and as the
handwriting was manifestly disguised
1t was impossible to tell whether the
writer was man or woman. At the time
the message was written the location
described was within the enemy's lines.
When asked to explain this paper, the
prisoner at first refused to do so, but
afterward said that he had formed
the acquaintance of young country
girl. who had appointed the meeting.
The captains evidence was so direct
and the accused's explanation so lame
that he was found guilty and sentenced
to be shot. AS he was led away he
made an exclamation which convinced
me of his innocence:

Yale Archaeological Theories on Cues.
ton Of Populations Extent.
In an article on American archaeolo-
gy in Harper's Dr. Ellsworth Hunting
ton of Yale discussed the question as
to whether the southwestern states
were ever densely populated.
"How long were the ruins of the
southwest inhabited and how dense
was the population in ancient times?
Some of the best archaeologists have
strongly insisted that appearances are
deceitful. The hundreds and indeed
thousands of sites Of ancient villages
in Colorado, the Texas Panhandle,
Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. as well
as in similar parts Of northern Mexico,
were not all inhabited at one time, so
they tell us. Most represent mere tenn
porary stopping places where migra-
tory bands of people supposed to
have been the ancestors Of the Indians
settled for few years and then moved
on. At the outside limit, so say these
uiNhaSOioSi'tS' thN poPpi"''Oh
never amounted to more than a few
score thousands, whose civilization was
of the lowest and most insignificant
type. Other students, fewer in num-
Der than the orthodox school, hold that
the majority of the ruins were all oc-
cupied at the same time and for cen
fury after century.
"They say that the population of the
arid southwest must have amounted to
many hundred thousands-decidedl
more in all probability than the coun-
try supports today. Furthermore. If
this were so, although the type of civ
ilization may have been most primitive
compared with ours, yet it was by no
means so low as that of the modern
Indians. 1t must have been Of the
same grade as that of early Babylonia,
Egypt, Palestine or Greece before the
art Of writing was invented. People
who could dwell peacefully for centu-
ries I'm large, permanent communities
and could build great communal houses
and long systems of canals were by no
means untutored savages. Civil order
and submission to the will of the ma
jority must have been as well devel
oped among them as among u.s."
