wished to watch over them. Also, he
was enamored of the town, which
seemed an ideal place to educate his
children. He rented a large and hand
some dwelling and went to housekeep-
ing in his usual princely way, with a
retinue OF servants. and fine horses
and carriages in the stables, and ev-
erything that money could provide.
Now and then he left the town for a
week or two to look after his i'm
portant business interests.
After being there some months,
Grandson approached the chief Of
police one day and showed him his
hat. which had been pierced by a bull
let.
Il have been shot at from ambush"
said he, "and you must find and pun
ish the miscreant who is guilty, or l
must leave this town."
Needless to say, the chief of police
and all his underlings ruined their
suspenders trying to run down the
,oathsome individual who had shot the
great mans hat. Most of the towns
people went sleuthing, to help the po-
lice, and the neignborhood of Heidel-
berg was full Of false whiskers and
darx lanterns, but all in vain. Not a
clew could be discovered. The leading
business men, the wheelhorses of COM
merce, called upon the herr and
begged him to remain notwithstand-
ing. but the great merchant was firm.
He didn't care q rix-dollar about his
life. he said, but his duty to others
forced him to be cautious.
So he moved away. and for several
years was beard of no more. But his
memory remained green. The leading
business mon never ceased bewailing
his departure. He was the only GUS
toner they ever had who threw money
at the birds. And the social leaders

THE MAN OF MYSTERY.

One bright day in the winter OF
1902 gorgeous chariot drew up be-
fore the principal inn of Heidelberg.
It was drawn by four prancing steeds.
which wore silver-mounted harness,
and the coach itself was lavishly deco.
rated with expensive curlicues
From this vehicle there presently
stepped forth a man of stately and
commanding appearance. a lady OF
queenly bearing, and three small chill.
dren, the party being followed by q
female servant.
There wasn't much doing at Heidel.
berg Just then, and the coming Of this
princely stranger created a sensation.
There was much coming and going OF
kings and princes in those days, and
1t was the general belief of the town
people that the stranger belonged to
some royal house. There was some
disappointment when Herr Kinkel,
who made vinegar in large quantities,
announced that the stranger, Herr
Grandson, was q merchant from
Denmark, and had talked with him
about buying q large shipment of his
product.
The days went by and Herr Gran
disson and his family remained at the
inn, while the herr himself made the
acquaintance Of the leading people of
the vicinage. He was a most charm
ing man. highly educated and accom-
plished. and Of such stately manners
that people felt themselves honored
when he paused to converse with
them. It soon became known that If
he wasn't q prince of a royal house,
he at least was a prince among mer-
chants. He had warehouses in many
lands, and ships on almost every sea.
There was great satisfaction in
Heidelberg when Herr Grandson an
nounced that he had concluded to re.
main thera indefinitely. He had i'm
portant interests in Germany, and
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-07-21

and in the morning he was found
there dead. He had hanged himself
from the doorpost with his handker-
chief, and the immense will power Of
the man is indicated by the fact that
he had to hold his feet up from the
floor in order to make the suicide a
success.
Who was he? The greatest and
most spectacular robber of the time.
For twenty-five years he had been
robbing mail coaches. residences, post
offices and all sorts of repositories of
money, and with such wonderful skill
that suspicion was never directed to-
ward him until the close of his career,
when accident led to his undoing. He
was so magnificent, SO splendid, that
it seemed idiocy to accuse him Of rob-
berry, even when he had been the sole
passenger in a mail coach which was
despoiled of a large number of thai
ers.
Heidelberg went to bed with nerv-
Gus prostration when the news came
from Berlin. The leading business
men simply couldn't believe it, until
overwhelmed by the facts. Frau
GrandissoL was arrested. and made q
written confession, and it is dis
appointment to know that she proved
a cheap sport. She tried to picture
herself as a martyr Of angelic quail
ties, who had been yoked with mon
ster. But, notwithstanding all his
crimes, Grandisson retained the pub.
lie sympathy. In fact, he was almost
a hero; and the woman's story did her
no good. She was sent to prison for
two years, and it soon developed
through police researches, that she
was a detestable character, who was
honored far beyond her deserts by
her association with the magnificent
Grandson.

The Junior Chautauqpa members are
being educated in many things that will
be beneficial to them, and
they want the people of the town to aid
in the good work they are trying to carry
on. The following poem has been sent
to this office for publication, with the
request that the citizens generally read
it and carry its suggestions into practice
NEIGHBOR MINE,
There are barrels by the pathways,
Neighbor mine.
PRAY be mindful of them always,
Neighbor mine.
II you're not devoid of feeling,
Quickly to those barrels stealing,
Drop in each banana peeling,
Neighbor mine.
Look where'ere you drop a paper,
Neighbor mine.
In the wind it cuts a caper,
Neighbor mine.
Down the street it madly courses,
And should fill you with remorses,
When you see it scares the horses,
Neighbor mine.
Paper-cans were made for papers,
Neighbor mine.
Let's not have this fact escape US,
Neighbor mine.
And if you will lend a hand,
Soon Mount Holly town shall stand,
AS the cleanest in the land,
Neighbor mine.

Deer Liberated.

State game wardens last week com.
menced the distribution of the herd OF
famous white-tailed deer from the state
game farm, near Forked River, for the
restocking OF the hunting grounds in
several north and south Jersey counties.
Burlington county got the first assign
ment of dozen big bucks and does.
Over two hundred have been raised
from the initial small herd at the game
farm. Roaming at will in two big sec
tions of forest land, which have been
blocked out as deer parks, the animals
are as wild as on free range.
Game authorities have chosen this
time of year for the distribution, as the
bucks have shed their antlers and are
less dangerous to handle.
1t is estimated that there are about
1000 Wild deer in the south Jersey pine
belt and in the north Jersey mountain
wilds. The introduction of new strain
from the herd at the game farm has
aroused much interest.
The deer put out in Burlington coun.
ty were liberated under direction of as
sistant state game protector Cudney and
game warden Morton, at Medford, Ia
bernacle and Red Lion.

LEADERS BANQUET

On Thursday night the Associated
Boys Workers of Burlington county
gathered at the Moorestown Academy
and enjoyed one of the best conferences
of the year. Forty-one were present and
sat down to the banquet tables. After
the repast, an illustrated lecture was
given by DIR. Alfred C. Garrett, of Phil
adelphia, on IA Trip through Pales-
tine" The lecture was made intensely
interesting by Prof. Garrett by means
of the personal touch he gave to the de-
scription of the views thrown upon the
screen. Those present were enlightened
to great extent concerning many of
the places now in existence which Christ
visited while on earth.
The February meeting will be held in
Mount Holly on February 1926, in con
nection with the county older boys con-
ference, which is one of the big events OF
the year. At last years conference in
Moorestown there were ll9 boys present.
1t is planned to make this years con-
ference bigger and better than all pre-.
vious ones.
