thrust that great thinker into the back
ground and concentrated my attention
on the affairs Of one who is both her
mental and moral inferior, Samuel
Marlowe. / seem a. his point to see
the reader-a great brute OF a fellow
with beetling eyebrows and a Jaw like
the ram Of a battleship, the sort of a
fellow who Is full Of determination and
will stand no nonsense-rising TO re-
mark that he doesn't care what hap
pened to Samuel Marlowe and that
what he wants to know Is, how Mrs.
Hignett made out on her lecturing
tour. Did she go big in Buffalo? Did
she have EN- tearing up the seats in
Schenectady? Was she a riot in Chi
cago and a cyclone In st. Louis? Those
are the points on which he desires in
formation, or give him his money back.
1 cannot supply the information.
And, before you condemn me, let me
hastily add that the fault Is not mine
but that Of Mrs. Hignett herself. The
| fact Is, she never went to Buffalo.
Schenectady saw nothing Of her. She
did not get within a thousand miles of
| Chicago nor did she penetrate to st.
Louis. For the very morning after her
son Eustace sailed for England in the
liner Atlantic, she happened to read
in the paper n OF those abridged
passenger lists which the journals of
New York are In the habit Of print
Ing. and got a nasty shock when she
saw that. among those whose society
Eustace would enjoy during the voy-
age was Miss Wilhelmina Bennett,
daughter of ]. Rufus Bennett Of Ben
nett, Mandelbaum and company. And
within Ave minutes Of digesting this
Information, she was at her desk writ
Ing out kilograms canceling all her
engagements. I~ron-souled as this WON
an was, her fingers trembled as she
wrote. She had a vision Of Eustace
and the daughter Of J. Rufus Bennett

Leaning over rails damp with sea spray

TO BE SENT TO FRANCE

OSSINING, March 1.-Ernest
Menet, master jailbreaker, who has
been in Sing Sing twenty-six years,
informed the State Board Of Parole
that he preferred immediate liberty
in France, his native land, to free
dom in this country two years
hence. The board had given this
choice to Menet, who is still a
French subject and has two years
more to serve. He will be put
aboard ship as soon as arrange
ments can be made.
The convict, who Is a hunchback,
was originally sentenced by Judge
Moon Of Queens county. He not
only escaped from Jail in Long
Island City but also fled three times
from Sing Sing and Clinton prisons
After being paroled a few months
ago he took a saw into the Pough-
keepsie Jail in what the police say
was an effort to free a criminal and
