then proceeded to Canton, Miss,
which was the county seat for Ocean
Springs. l there found Sheriff Clark,
who, in the requisition papers, was

Is brother-in-law visited the depot at
Ocean Springs every night to see who

roundabout route, met Herbert at a
point agreed upon, near the cottage.
Before leaving upon my mission I

self as a sufferer from chronic rheu-
matism, and soon met No. 1, who in
vited him to visit the cottage and to
take sail on the bay in a yacht
which he kept anchored in front OF
the property. Herbert accepted the
invitation, and was introduced to the
wife of billiard, and a good-looking
young woman who passed under an
assumed name, but was subsequently
discovered to be the wife of the miss
ing agent mo. ~.
The yacht, which the party boarded
for short sail, was Of about twenty
tons burden. and managed by little
man some five and thirty years of
age Herbert was not introduced to
this man by his host, and thought lit
tie about him, imagining him to be
the sailing master, since he was al
ways in uniform. However, upon re-
ceipt of Herbert's letter containing
description Of this man, l was salts
fled that the sailing master was none
other than the agent, No. 4, himself.
The confederate had left little to
chance. for not only was the yacht
ready to take them at any time out
side the three-mile limit, but they had
rugged up overlapping arrangement
consisting Of two thin copper wires,
hidden among the thick foliage, and
running from the cottage to the Lou
isville and Nashville railroad. These
wires, as was discovered later, were

connected with the commercial wire
of the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, and there was telegraph Of
fee in one of the rooms Of the cottage
from which the conspirators could
find out all that was passing over the
wires of the Western Union company.
The cottage was surrounded early
in the morning, after a reconnaissance
had showed that all the inmates were
asleep. While Herbert and the deputy
covered the rear, the sheriff and I
went to the front door and raped for
admission. The window shutters were
pushed open and the inmates, peer
ing out, discovered that they were
trapped

ing No. 2 back to Dallas for trial
When the train stopped at Canaan
daigua, New York, a messenger called
my name at the dining room door.
He handed me a telegram from the
high sheriff of Chatham, which read
as follows:

heart failure"
The autopsy showed that the man
had killed himself by swallowing
laudanum, but how he had obtained
the drug was never discovered.
Thus only two of the swindlers re-
NAMED for trial, and these, rather re-
markedly, were No. and No. 4, both
of whom I had arrested at Ocean
Springs.
The case now came on for trial, and
I turned the duplicate bills of lading
over to Capt. Tom Brown of Sherman,
Texas, who was the railroad conf
pany's attorney in that district.
These, with other documentary evil
dence, the captain placed in his over
coat pocket, and he left that garment,
together with his coat and hat, on a
rack in the corridor of a hotel while
he was eating breakfast. When he
returned for his overcoat the papers
had been stolen. In consequence of
the loss of these documents, when the
case was called the prosecuting attor-
ney asked that a nolle prosequi be en-
tered in the case, thus letting the two
men go free.
This was an unfortunate ending to
so much enterprise, but no stigma
ever attached itself to Captain Brown,
who was afterward elected a Judge
of the supreme bench of Texas.

To Preserve Historic BUILDING

Lovers of historic spots will be
pleased by the note that the Associa-
ton for the Preservation of Virginia
Antiquities has virtually completed it's
campaign for the acquisition of the old
est courthouse in the United States,
that which was built at Eastville,
Northampton county, in 1880. The
building is a beautiful specimen Of
colonial brick structure, laid up in
Flemish bond. It's original cost was
1927 pounds Of tobacco. Over CEN
fury ago it was leased to a Mr.. Not
tingham for 81 a year on condition
that he put new roof on 1.-THE lease
to run as long as the roof lasted. He
soaked his shingles in linseed oil, and
the courthouse remained in possession
of his heirs till 1913, when the coun-
ty bought it for $4,000. The super
visors we're about to demolish it in
order that the site might be otherwise
used, when the association came to
the rescue.

murder, arson, rape, forgery, uttering

After I had seen No. in London, I
telegraphed by wire code to ex-Gov.
John G. Brown, the general solicitor
for the Gould railroads, through Vice.
President Hoxie, who had commits
stoned me to procure the fugitive's
arrest. Ex-Governor Brown had a
national reputation as lawyer, and.
being convinced that No. 2 could not
be extradited under the treaty, he
wired back by code, instructing me
to induce the exile to accompany me
across the border, either into Michi-
gan or into New York state, where he
could be held for extradition to Texas.
Needless to say, this would have
been an impossible feat, the fugitive
being we'll acquainted with the man
who had aided in his arrest. Further
more, I soon discovered that, If l at
tempted to induce No. 2 to accom-
pany me across the border, for the
purpose of arresting him without legal
authority, 1 would be liable to prose
cution for kidnapping, and might be
sent to prison for a term of from two
to seven years. Seeing the lmpossl-
bility of carrying out his instructions,
took counsels opinion upon the sub
ject from a young barrister named
Mcbride. After detailing the case to
the young man, l asked him what
crime the men had committed under
Canadian law. Mcbride at once In
formed me that they were all guilty
of forgery, and of having uttered and
published forged paper.

Washington, Jan. sn.--More than
ss.0oO.oeo pound would be the price
asked for radium were that quantity
of the valuable metal available and
for sale at once. Late In 1915 there
was sold in this country one-tenth
grams of radium element at the rate
OF $4,000 a gram. according to a
report issued by the United States
geological survey The entire output
OF the United States last year, how
ever. was only six grams. or about
one-sevcnty-sixth OF pound avordu-
pois.
The European war caused great
stump in the production of radium. as
in 1914 there were e2.s grams pro-
duced.
"The United States has the largest
known radium bearing deposits In
the world" says the geological sur
vey. sbut the market for radium ia
mostly In Europe. When the war be-
gan, therefore. causing European
money to fow Into other channels.

the demand for radium fell on SO
greatly that there was practically no
market for radium or uranium ores
In the early part of 1915, and very lit
tie market during any part OF the year.
AS a result of the collapse of tho
radium market, mining or radium-bear-
ing ores except for such work as was
necessary to hold claims, was nearly
stopped. Thru the efforts of the ex-
perts of the United STATES bureau of
mines. a process has been developed
by which radium has been produced
at a cost of sS7.599 gram. The prin-
ciral fields of the radium-bearing
ores are in Colorado and Utah.

Ghls VIII Heanliful Faces
or Graceful Figures

American girls have worldwide
reputation for beauty, but. at the same
time, there are girls in our cities who
possess neither beauty of face nor
form, because in these instances they
suffer from nervousness, the result of
disorders of the womanly organism.
At regular intervals they suffer so
much that their strength leaves them;
they are so prostrafed that it takes days
for them to recover their strength. OF
course, such periodic distress has its
bad effect on the nervous system. The
wiihered and drawn faces, the dark
circles and crows feet about the eyes,
the straight figure without those
curves which lend SO much 10 feminine
beauty are the unmistakab.e signs of
womanly disorders.
When a girl becomes a woman, when
n woman becomes a mother, when a
woman passes through the changes of
middle life. are the three periods of
life when health and strength are most
needed to withstand the pain and
distress often caused by severe organic
disturbances.
At these critical times women are
hcet fortified by the use of DIR, Pierce's
Fayorite Prescription. an old remedy
of proved worth that keeps the entire
female system perfectly regulated and
in excellent condition.
