THE TALE THE ASHES TOLD, [Copyright, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.] T~lHOUSAXDS of men throughout the world are each day pa tiently seeking In the laby ?J rinthine ways of evidence the proof or disproof of some poor wretch's guilt, the peualty of whose conviction perhaps is death, and the life of n man may be lost or saved by a tbreat/f leu der, yet so unbreaklng and sure that It holds inevitable truth in its meshes. Sometimes there Is only a tiny seed of truth, but a grain of gold outvalues ten of dross. One afternoon last summer a man occupied the rear end compartment in a train bound north from Lucerne. He was leaning leisurely against the door frame watching the crowding throng In the station as the train took on its burden preparatory for the journey. He was powerfully built, and even in this attitude of repose be betrayed the tense control with which he domi nated the abundant energy which per vaded him. He was an American. The train was about to start when the traveler noticed a woman strug gling through the crowd tovfrd it. She had scarcely reached the rear end when the train started, and the Amer ican, jumping down, caught her bag gage and assisted her to mount to the compartment which he was occupying. When they had recovered their com posure and he had stowed away her baggage he remarked that she was young, richly dressed and wore a jaun ty traveling hat which seemed haunt ingly familiar to him. She was unmis takably French. Oh! He remembered her standing op posite him at Monte Carlo on the night of his fortunate play, when the crou pier had put into his hands the returns of his lucky hazard. He also remem bered the expression of hatred and avidity from the eyes across the table as he turned to leave. Presently she felt his questioning gaze and spoke: "Ob, monsieur, je vous remercie! Vous m'avez sauvee!" Though he caught the meaning of her words In her smile and gesture, he only bowed his acquiescence and set tled back to read his paper. She slph ed and glanced at him from time to time, but his attention was soon ab sorbed, and silence reigned except for the rumble of the speeding train. Once he laid aside the paper to draw out and light a cigar, but she was gazing Intently out Into the closing darkness. Then suddenly she spoke In English: "Monsieur, give me 5.000 francs." The American looked up question ingly. "Monsieur, give me 5.000 francs," she repeated calmly, looking directly Into his eyes. He returned her look fixedly. "Madame, you are mistaken. I am an American traveler. We have never met before." "But monsieur will give to me the money." she said, this time with un mistakable menace in her voice. He did not answer her at once. Evi dently this was not a case of mistaken Identity. It was a threat. But how could this mite of a woman carry out the menace she implied in her per sistent demand and eloquent gesture? His band clasped the butt of his re volver as he answered: "And If I will not?" ? "Then I will scream," she answered simply. He smiled at his own credulity. The woman was mad. But this idea was quickly dispelled by the look of des perate determination she fixed upon bis as she said: "I will give to monsieur three min utes." They sat doggedly facing each other, she watching the hands of a tiny watch, he vainly conjecturing her next move. The train began to slow up for the next station. The ^ree minutes ticked by. Then she deliberately threw aside her watch, tore her hnt from her head, disheveled her hair till It streamed In wild disorder over her shoulders and even dug her nails Into her cheek till the blood smeared her face. Mean while she threw open the window and screamed "A moi! A mol! Heip. ze American!" and uttered sighs and stifled proans. The American leaned back in his seat and waited, the only evidence of his excitement In the furi ous puffing of his clpjar between his set teeth. Before the train had come to a stop In the station the gendarmes had boarded and the accused man faced four revolvers. Still he waited, a frown of perplexity on his brow, while the woman jrave the officers a hurried account of her struggle and hel l Tip to them the portemonnaie which, she ?ivorred, be had not been able to wrest from her before the train arrived at the station. The case looked clear. The Ameri can rose to accompany the gendarmes as their prisoner when suddenly he stopped and motioned them aside with a gesture so convincing that they loosed their rough hold and stood back. He took the clear from between his teeth. The ashes clinging to Its end were an Inch long. Magneto For Ironclads. The German naval authorities have under consider.ition an Invention for the protection of German const har bors and seaports. Stations would have to be erected nlonp the coasts and at the mouths of rivers which would be equipped with the strongest electric magnets that can be manufac tured. When In action these would exercise such a powerful attractive force that they would compel iron clads to deviate from their course. THE BANK OF SPUINGF1ELD. Officers. L. M. Mlnu. President: Jno.

Scrap Book The Condemned. The family had heard that bachelor Uncle Joe was going to get married, and there had been much ccastic com ment over the coming event, mingled with many expressions of sympathy for his fate at the bands of the de signing woman who bad captured him, all of which were overheard by the keen and open eared six-year-old boy of the family. "Pa." said the youngster one day, "I hear Uncle Joe Is going to be mar ried next week." "Yes," said the father. "Uncle Joe has only three days more." The little boy sighed. "The last three days," be Bald, "they give them everything to eat that they ask for. don't they, pa?" Striving. .If all the end of this continuous striving Were simply to attain, Ho? poor would seem the planning and contriving-. The endless urging and the hurried driv ing Of body, heart and brain! But ever in the wake of true achieving There shines-this glowing trail Some other soul will be spurred on, con ceiving New strength and hope, In Its own power believing. Because thou didst not fall. Not thine alone-the glary nor the sorrow If thou dost miss the goal. Undreamed of lives in many a far tomor row From thee their weakness or their force shall borrow. On, on, ambitious soul! ?Ella Wheeler Wllcox. A Good Definition. In one of the New York schools sev eral of the children In one class failed on the definition of the word bachelor. The teacher, to impress the meaning of the word on the minds of the pu pils, told the class to look up the word that nl^rht and come prepared with a good definition the next day. When the question was taken up at the next session the first little girl who was asked to define the word an swered with a confident and smiling air, '"A bachelor Is a very happy man." The teacher grew Interested. "Are you sure that Is correct?" she asked the little one. "Oh, yes," was the prompt reply. "Father told me so." Knew Who Used It. Charles H. Hoyt, New England's great playwright, once visited a small town In Pennsylvania where there Is a hotel they say George Washington, the Father of His Country, used to stop at when he passed through. In It they have a room he Is said to have oc cupied at times. Hoyt came through there once with one of his attractions. He arrived at the hotel after all the members of the company bad been assigned rooms. One of the company was given the Washington room, and Hoyt received a poor room on the top floor, the pro prietor qot knowing who be was. When he came downstairs later the gentteman who bad got the good room said, "Mr. Hoyt, they have given me the room that they used to give George Washington when he came here." "Well," said Hoyt, "the one they have given me must be the one they gave Benedict Arnold when he came." A Stickler For Rules. Billy Grimes was a sailor, and he knew a sailor's duty and how to obey orders. Off a foreign port one night Billy Grimes leaned over the side in answer to a hall. "Ahoy!" he said. "Ahoy!" was the reply. "Lower down your ship's ladder, shipmate." "You can't come aboard here to night," said Billy. "Lower away, you lubber." said the voice below Impatiently. "I must come aboard. I'm the river pilot." "I don't care." said Billy, "If you're Punchns Pilot, I'll stick to the ship's rules." Too Eager For Work. Dr. John S. Buist, the southern sur geon, said In one of his surgical lec tures at a state college: "It is always in rather bad taste for a physician to boast of being busy. Physicians, undertakers and gravcdlg gers onlj' cause discomfort when the}* allude to good times and prosperity. There was an old man applied to the minister of the little village of Paint Bock for the post of gravedigger. His references were good, and the minister agreed to assign hiin to the church yard. He was to be paid so much a grave. The gravedigj-cr haggled over the price, finally accepting It. " 'But will I get steady work?' he demanded. "'Steady work!' said the minister. 'Land's sake, man. with steady work you'd bury all Paint Bock in a week!' " The Who|e Law. When one mockingly asked Hittel If he would teach him the whole law while he stood on one foot the rabbi replied: "What you would not like done to yourself do not to thy neigh bor. This Is the whole law. All the rest is a commentary on it. Go learn this." Not What He Wanted. A Scotsman walked Into a Montreal bookshop and, as the assistant thought, asked for Robert Burns. On being told this the proprietor of the shop him self got down three or four editions of the poet and took them to the wait ing Scotsman. The customer, how ever, shook his head hopelessly and said. "It's nae Robert Burns I askit for. I>ut rubber bands!" DBS. PERREYCLEAB & SIFLY Dentists. Specialists in Operative Dentistry, Crown and Bridge Work and Plate work.
