An Interesting Exhibit.

Sn interesting ENnipt.
An interesting exhibit of wood
engraving which Is on display at the
public library this week Is well worth
visiting. There are forty unframed
and eleven framed pictures on dis
play, showing some of the best ef-
forts OF Timothy Cole, whose repro
duction by wood engraving of great
paintings. has won him fame as one
OF the worlds foremost wood engrav-
ers. He was recently elected a mem
Der OF the American Academy Of
Arts and Letters. The exhibit will
remain about week longer. Mr.. Cole
was born in London, England. in
1852, and came to America i'm 1857.
During his youth he had very little
chance to develop his ability. and
worked as an apprentice boy. The
firm by which he was employed In
Chicago was burned out during the
great Chicago fire In 1870. By dill.
gent effort he gradually made his
work known, and has illustrated ar
ticles for the Hearth and Home
magazine, the Scientific American.
and has been wood engrayer for the
Century magazine since 1888. His
work is marked by true artistic ex-
preston. delicacy and clearness Of
execution, and his subjects are chos-

covery, but by reason of bitter expert
ence with other pirated inventions had
decided to sell his latest creation out
right to some wealthy promoter, let
ting him run the risk and expense of
defending the patent against fraudu-
lent dealers. 1t was for this he had
made the quiet trip to Cincinnati, GER
tain that he could find one of their
old clients honest enough to look over
the device without thought of steal
ing it.
Accompanied by the clerk and the
detective they sought the rooms oc-
cupied by his former partner. Brown
after long and keen survey of No.
13 decided to overhaul the closet first.
Here they discovered a board that
bore indications Of having been tam
pered with and which was easily
pried up. Under it were laid the
wires connecting Nos. 13 and IA.
Tracing them back into No. IA, they
found that they ran along the base
board to the receiving plate, cleverly
set in the massive leg of dresser
and with sufficient play of the wires
to enable one suspecting such de-
vice to pull the dresser from the wall
without revealing the detector.
They then took up the trail in the
closet of No. 13 and followed the wires
to the other plate which was snugly
ensconced within a few feet of the
spot where Red" Malone had stood
rooted in wonder at the ghostly COM
munication. The whole contrivance
was in perfect working order. They
all felt assured that the hapless NAL
tus had been on his way to interview
the prospective purchaser on the after
noon that he met his sad end.
Think of it, think of it," Brown
moaned, every bit of that marvellous
genius wasted-think of it," The de-
.tective, busily engaged in removing
the continuance, shook his head in
sympathy.
"A lot of good work that never did
anybody a particle of good" he
agreed.
Tough lines for thing like that to
go for nothing" the clerk agreed
solemnly. And the three nodded their
heads in sage ignorance.
With which an unhappy social out
cast, hiding like rat in hole, would
not have agreed.
With which sentiment a happy
young wife, sitting beside radiant
husband in church in Cleveland,
would not, most assuredly, have
agreed.
With which sentiment a certain red
faced and burly individual in Pitts
burgh, standing uncomfortably first on
one foot and then the other near the
confessional he had not approached
in years, would never, never have
agreed.
Had they but known!

Cert he protested. ''You don't know
how hard it is for non-Catholic to
get those things. If did"
IF you did, would you join the
Church with me?' she coaxed, a sud-
den trace of hope in her words. He
laughed.
If saw any good in prayers, Cert,
he protested, I'D crawl to the nearest
church tomorrow and let them bap-
tie me"
AS if that settled it, the good
woman, still sobbing and protesting,
showered on him the wealth of assur-
ances that good women the world over
still keep in reserve for the men
whom they love.
Having heard enough for his pur-
pose the delighted, amazed and won.

evaded him for hours. Over and over
there revolved in his active brain the
possibilities of the bewildering Incl
dent He could put his hand on Bos-
ton Joe in the morning and, leading
him to headquarters, put the official
world in touch with him again. And
what a feather that would be in his
cap! Then, memories of the unhappy
pair to whose unwilling confidence he
owed his chance of advancement OBJ
truded themselves, and he caught him:
self wondering as to the possibility OF
IL of hD a.
wife and of convincing the infidel OF
the power of prayer. In the midst
of these reflections Red fell into
slumber as sweet as though his con
science did not vaguely reproach him
with his own neglect of prayer.
Any chance of determining in the
morning whether or not the sounds
had come from an adjoining room was
destroyed by the clatter of the dele
gates as they hurried along the hal
to the breakfast room. Nor did he
| care particularly, as he could inter
view them at his leisure later. His
mind was set at present on the loca

smoldered an intense love of fame
Notoriety was the breath of life il

sleuth, and he valued commentators
notice in leading paper, or a picture
in it's columns, far above the wage fol
which he toiled. Money could no

'Thirty-four" was a mean-looking
saloon that by reason of its sinister
patronage stood almost deserted in
daylight. 1t was graced now only by
the bartender who, with hands thrust
into his pockets, behind his once
white apron, leaned dejectedly against
the deserted bar. Approaching the
forbidding looking individual as if to
give an order, Red doomed, instead:

On the day the hotel returned to
its normal routine after the breaking
up of the convention, a middle-aged
man with deep lines of worry in his
face fastened through the tiled lobby
Of the Imperial to the desk. There he
obtained permission to look over the

tracing the lines, halted at the entry
