The recipient was unaware of the nature of the parcel which he re­ ceived, but as a courtesy to Mus- grave he consented to hold it until called for. Shortly afterward Musgrave put in an appearance and, with profuse thanks* took the box away. He, went to Indiana and took up his residence in a hut on the banks of the Wabash near Terre Haute. He quickly became, known as a con­ vivial person who was fond of a lit­ tle' whisky and never was averse to buying a drink. Then one night a fire burned down his hut, and in the ashes nest day there was found a • charred skeleton, and Musgrave’s companions deplored Iris tragic end. Within a few days the insurance company was approached by a man ■named Trout, who, it appeared, held an. assignment of Musgrave’s pqlic . Trout demanded tlio $30,000, but the agents of the company already had- reported that there wore cer­ tain suspicions circumstances in connection with the fire in'the hut on the Wabash, and the matter was placed in the hands of the police. Detective Plunket was extremely curious about Mr. Musgrave,. and whatdie discovered made him more curious still. It appeared that Mus- grave-riot only sent mysterious par­ cels to casual friends, but that his mail was not even addressed to him­ self. The detective made a list of every person who had known Mhs- grAva and then proceeded on & sim­ ple hut effective plan. He quoa- tfoaxect each one gs- -to when he nr she had last seen the mi^tog'man, and in time he discovered what he wanted, Musgrave had been seen in Chicago after the fire on the Wabash. ~ The problem was reduced to its simplest form—find Musgrave. And here Detective Plunket fell back on the oldest laiown principle of deal­ ing with mankind- He started to look for the woman. It took weeks and then months. He chased Mus- grave through the northwest arid, down to the south, but wherever the man went he was still in touch with the woman, arid the detective was also, but unknown, taking a deep Interest in her, The end was inevitable, and Musgrave was final­ ly run to earth in St. Paul. He and liis accomplice were found guilty of fraud and went to the penitentiary for a term of years.—Chicago Trib­ une. ______ Le '-d Like Hard Work.

Wherever the entertainment com­ mittee led him, whether to factory, store or suburban plantation, all the hard work itemed to be borne by the black men. Minister Wu made no comment at the time, but in the evening, when lie was a spectator at a ball given in his honor, after watching the waltzing and two-topping for half an hour, he-'remarked to'his host: “Why don’t you make the negroes do that for you too F’-~-Everybody’s Magazine.

One day Luigi while walking on a wad near fits father’s villa was ae- verted ?y a man, who naked him if ho yrevs-imt Luigi Bartinclli, and when he said yes the man told him that a men a short dlatbr.ee up the road was looking for. him with a letter from a lady, marked "Immediate.'’ Luigi, be- Uevlng the note to be from Beatricim started in the direction Indicated, over­ took a man whom he supposed to be the messenger, but was directed to go farther. In this way the young ro&u Was passed from one person to an­ other till be came to a lonely place, where ho found one who admitted, he was the messenger. He said mock­ ingly that the letter was from Senorlta Carrono, who instructed him to pay to Carried, the bandit, $40,000 for a ran­ som. Luigi was taken to the robbers' lair, whence he dispatched a letter to his father stating the case- It was im- possible for the count to raise so much money Immediately, and the ease dragged. One evening Marla Bassanlo, daugh­ ter of a. farmer. dwelling near Count Bartinclli’s estate, was left alone by her father, who did not expect to be at home till midnight During the evening, hearing a knock at the door, she opened it, to find a stranger carry­ ing on his hack a heavy sack, under which he'staggered and seemed very weary. *lie begged a lodging for the night, but the girl refused. Then he hogged permission to leave his sack till morning, to which she consented Depositing it on the floor beside the fireplace, he departed. Marla sat down beside a table and began doing some ’ needlework. She looked at the sack, wondering what it contained, "While she was looking at it she fancied that not far from Its center there seemed to be a very slight rising and falling motion. Her heart stood still. The motion was doubtlesn produced by some one bronthing. Maria’s Erst motion was a quick glance at the wall where her father al ways, kept a gun. Glancing again at the Back, she saw something glisten In the 'lamplight. It was the point of a knife protruding through the sack In another moment the blade began to move, making a slit in the sack. With one bound Marla reached the gtm on the walk took it from Its sup­ ports, cooked it and fired at randomat the sack. There Was a spasmodic mo tion; then ail was still again. In an other moment something red stained the sack and trickled through It on to the floor. It was blood. Terror stricken, Marla rushed to the door ami out to the road, down which she fled as If op the wind. She had not gone far before sbe ran right into the arms of a man. So frightened was she that she did not know him till he eagerly -begged her to tell him what had happened. Then, recognizing her father, she lost consciousness. Butnot for long.- Reviving, she gave her experience. Bassanlo, thinking it best to secure assistance, gathered n number of men who lived along the road, and, all well armed, the party went to the house. Opening the sack they found tlio dead body of a man v'lth n charge of shot in the breast One of the men present pronounced him to.be Pietro Carried. From the bandit’s ueck hnng a Bllrer whistle. This Indicated that ills as slstants were at hand. Putting out all lights, the company kept quiet for a time. Then Bassanlo went out In front of the house, and a shrill, sharp wills tie rung out on the still night air Presently footsteps Were heard, and several men came .down the road They had no sooner passed the gate than they were seized from behind and disarmed, A messenger wan sent to Count Bar- titieill with the news of Oarrlccl's death and the capture of a part of his band One of the bandits on promise of n pardon agreed to guide a force of gen­ darmes to the place where Ltllgl Itnr •inelll was held Captive. The expedi­ tion was snecessful. The lair and all In it were captured, .and the young man Was relented without ransom. Count Bartlnelll realized the fact that but for Marla’s courageous act he would either have lost hl3 son or that con'a runcom. He at once gave her a quarter of the ransom and pledged himself to give an equal amount for a dowry the day she married. There wan u reward of $10,<)00 offered by the government for Carried dead or alive, and thin Marla rcfc-ived also. Luigi Bartlnelll, who for weekn had been iu terror for bin life, had no soon­ er regained Ids freedom than he de aired to see the pirt who had killed bin captor and made the destruction of the t p..;:nl(>lo. Ho found a modest, delicate creature who wondered haw oho, who had been so terribly fright­ ened, ionhl have eta-ltrd the admira­ tion of mi Italy.

CINCINNATI, O in his enthusiastic response, had said; . ■' . . . . ; “ ‘Diedrich Knickerbocker* I I have worn to death In my pocket* and yet I should show you his mu­ tilated carcass with a joy beyond expression.” The night of the public dinner came, and Irving’s dread of the in­ troductory speech kept him mur­ muring throughout tho repast, “I shall certainly break '’own. At the proper tune he rose to his feet begun bravely, but could utter only a few sento-ices, and ended by taking refuge in tho announcement of the toast: “Charles Dickens, the guest of tho nation,” The applause was generous, and Irving took his seat. “ There,” be said, “ I told you I should break down, and I have dene it!” Later, while on his way to Mad­ rid, he found himself called upon at tho dinner of the literary fund in London to respond to tho toast, “Washington Irving and American literature.” All I 10 could say in ac­ knowledgment of an enthusiastic reception was: “I beg to return you my very sin­ cere thanks.” One Englishman «t the table was beard to make the laconic comment, “Brief!” “ Yes,” said another beside him, “ but you can tel! tho gentleman in the very tone of his voice” Painfully Polite. The people of Dresden are very polite, so very polite that they not infrequently bring down ridicule upon themselves. It used to bo told in that city that a stranger was one day eroding the great bridge that spans thor Elbe and asked a native to direct hint to a certain church which lie wished tor find. “ Really, niv dear sir,” said the Dreedener, bowing low, “ I grieve greatly to say it, hut l cannot tell you,” Tho stranger passed on, a little surprised at this voluble answer to a r-unple question. Ho had proceed­ ed but a short distance when ho heard hurried footsteps behind him and, turning round, saw the same man running to catch up with him, In a moment his pursuer was by his side, his breath nearly gone, but enough left to say hurriedly: “My dear sir, you asked mo how you could find tho church, and it pained | me to have to say that I did not know. Just now I wet my brother, ’ but 1 grieve to say that lie did not know either.” 1 Our 32d Annual ■: • :',n-.O • •/ *■■Vo‘ • Clearance Sale Soon. WAIT FOR IT.
