CAPT. M'HORNEY'S STORY.

Capt. Edward McHorney of the Jer-
sey City police department., who was
the principal factor In the capture OF
the First National bank burglars, was
one of the bravest men who ever won
silver shield. Captain McHorney
died few years ago from a disease
that was Indirectly the result OF the
injuries received during the struggle
with Nose Vogel, and shortly before
death sealed his lips told me this
story:
The capture of Vogel, Dago Frank
and Johnson was due 70 the curiosity
Of woman. Her name was Mrs.
Francis, as recollect it, and she ran
a boarding house over Na1ews oyster
saloon, which adjoined the bank. One
of the thieves-Vogel, l think-hired
room from her on the second floor,
which adjoined the bank on the east,
and opened a studio as blind.
Every morning regularly Mrs.
Francis was called into the studio by
the sculptor to clean up the place.
The floor she always found covered
with marble dust and chips of stone,
and an elegant screen stood In front
of the fireplace. The sculptor always
sat near the screen with big apron
on and chatted pleasantly with his
landlady
Things went on for week or more
in this way. The sculptor kept ham,
mering away, and Mrs. Francis en-
joyed her morning call 1t was along
about housekeeping time, and Mrs.
Francis started In one morning to
clean the windows on the sculptor's
floor.
In passing through the hall with
a step ladder 1t struck her that it
would be good opportunity to see
the sculptor at work. She heard him
pounding on stone in the room. and
cautiously put up the ladder in front
Of the door. The fan light was open,
and it was this trivial oversight that
threw down three of the best men In
the business. How they came to over
look the fanlight never could under
stand, as everything else in the room
-keyholes, cracks and windows
were carefully covered.
Mrs. Francis peeped inside. No
one was In sight. She could see the
blocks Of marble, but no one was
hammering on them. The sound was
very distinct, and she wondered what
1t meant. She could hear voices, too.
When her eyes lit on the open fire
place and she saw piece OF stone nv
| from It into the room she fell OF the
ladder The noise in the room STOP
ped. Mrs. Francis picked herself up
and hurried away as rapidly as pos
! sible. She peeped over the ban1ster
| and saw some one open the studio
door.
In a moment the hammering was
resumed, and Mrs. Francis hurried to
| police headquarters. l was IL charge,

BOXES or BRONZE LEATHER
Receptaeles for spools, Thlmble and
Needles That All Little Girls
VIII Appreciate.

Extremely attractive In that partic-
ular way that girls very much like
are the tiny little bronze leather
boxes which are made to hold spools
OF thread. thimble and needles. These
ere meant for little mending kits to
put In ones bag when one Is visiting
for few days. The boxes are very
small, some Of them containing only
black silk and white thread, while 9TH
ers have a row of four or five spools.
They have lids of the leather, and the
edges of the box are bound with mar
row satin ribbon or with silk or silk
braid. The boxes are long and mar
row and the lids are hinged to them
by the ribbon binding, which Is sewed
together at the end.
Some Of the boxes are the same
width through the length, and others
are tapered at one end. The boxes
which are meant for more than one
spool are usually the Same width
throughout. The width is just enough
to admit a spool being put In side
ways. When only one spool is to be
put In the box II goes in lengthwise.

ms il for half an hour 1t weighed
$50 pounds and was hoisted into the

Homemade Brooches.

r e..
The popularity Of the side frill Or
lapel that needs a pin to hold II in
place has brought about the use OF
many ornamental brooches. One Of
the newest of these is made Of gold
braid with coIored beads for the cen
ter. And any girl can make such a
brooch. Disks Of dull gold braid
sewed together and centered with
jewels or beads in desirable colorings
make up easily. All sorts OF shapes
are given them, and often pendants
are added OF furnished gold buttons,
OF passementerie ornaments or OF
beads or jewels. The brooches have
strong safety pins sewed on at the
back.

the result Of the experiment:

was expected the men in charge OF
minute detail saw ways Of increasing
efficiency which escaped the gem

lions came in from all quarters.
Many of them proved to be of real
value, and their authors were re-

The plan should prove Of value to
other railroads and various lines of
