I HAD settled mjsell in my corner and the train was already swinging at a good pace i own the "Gold- j en valley" before 1 noticed, first, that 1 was not aietier and second, that I was not in a smoking com partment. My fellow traveler was a lady, clothed from head to: foot in a traveling ulster with a deep (Jape, and closely veiled. I wanted a sm<>ke very badly, and so I ventured to a f k her if she had any objec tion. Jma^ioe my astonishment when, in stead of replying to my question, she sobbed out something utterly incoherent and burst into tears. This was startling enough, but when I saw that she made no attempt to tkke out a handkerchief to dry her eye*ybi*t simply sat still with ber hands folded under her, cape, surprise ??ry quickly gave. place to bewilderment. a man does not he simply acts on instinct, a moment I was at the other end of ""iage, begging her in a clumsy, f? fashion to tell me what was natter with'ber. For an answer she tt&enly parted her cape and held up two tiny cSaspel and daintily gloved l.ftpds. As she did so 1 heard the clink o< tfceel, and something bright shown in tie lamplight. My fair companion was handcuffed 1 j Before she attempted any explanations lie opened her right hand and showed ait ooe of the regulation screw keys Wiick alone will open the steel bracelets ttotrestrain the exuberance of the unruly at dangerous criminal. "Please unlock these horrible things for ae and then I will teli you every she said, and the request was ! wppleinented by a beseeching glance Itoo a pair of tear-dewed eyes, to whose nitehery many an older man than my would have succumbed. I took the key, and, after a litfle fum tli&g about the strangely contrived locks, it tree the dainty little hands that were ?rct?hed so appealingly toward me. _ Xot knowing exactly what to do with tte handcuffs, I slipped them tot the tfe* being into the side pocket of my !toter. As soon as she got her hands free she Osbnttoned her ulster and threw it back jfcfittle. As she did so I noticed that she t strikingly curious brooch at the ?wk of her dress. It was formed of t*o thick gold serpents, coiled as if Mdy to spring, with their heads thrust ktwaid side bj side and their emerald gleaming with an unpleasantly life stpression. ft Visa pitifnl tale and to a great ex taet one which the newspapers have of )M* jears made too commonplace, d by social and pecuniary consid ^tinto a marriage with a man old to be her father, and possessing Be ?Bgk taste in common with her, she ?der sore temptation, broken her ttoth and fled from his house.

As she looked round the carriage in she now found herself free, un *he saw the key of her hand *hich must hate fallen from his i Wet pocket as he jerked his over coat I tried nard to a-^en the locks, aV>f course, had been ynable to do so. \ ?5Wcot and Swindon kere passed as her tale; we conversed up"" ^ strange occurrences o?* the night, and only stop before P/uidingtoa was ?^Beading. Here n traveling com TfcTnofc decided to k4ve the train, as by *&??iis could sfe^ avoid running into *rh\jsb?Kf? arms at the terminus. Desfite ber gentle winning manner, I instinctively that persuasions would ue U3eJe?g, and so .1 opens i the dcorf git out, and helped her to alight from \l .. Jr- V fc the carriage, and with a few murmured words of repeated thanks she was gone. When I got back into the carriage I lit a cigar and lay back on the cushions to think over my adventure. By the time the train dreT into Paddinzton i had exalted ray beautiful unknown into a heroine of romance, and, I regret to say. ray.-elf into something like a knight, errant of the days of chivalry. ****** 4tih;s is it, twelve-ninety. Are you there, frcJ? The tram had stopped, aa.i a larno Hashing into the carriage wr^ke me up from my day dream to hear these strange words, aod to see a couple of men in police uniform and a railway inspector peering into the compartment. '?Hullo! this must be wrong. They aien't here, and yet this is the right cumber. Excuse me, sir, how far have you come in this carriage!" "From Stroud," I replied, a bit dazed by drowsiness and my strange reception. 4 'Have "you come all the way t&ae?" Some mad idea connected in a con fused way with the beautiful woman whose soft, clinging clasp I could still feel on my hand, stopped the truth that rose to my lips, and instead uttered the foolish lie: "Yes, I have been sfcne in the carriage alT'Tfce way." A mbcent later I would hare given all I possessefclto have recalled my words, for as I uttered them the railway inspec. tor turned \jais lamp under the seat opposite to ^e and said in a hoarse whisper : \ "Good HeaveiftJ what's that?" My eyes followe<N4^e glare of the lamp, and I saw the toe df^juan's boot on the floor of the carriage ate^Haqhes back from the front of the seat. A minute later and the corpse of a somewhat undersized man, whose face was still d*awn in the agony of a violent death, was dragged out, lifted up and laid upon the seat. Of course I spent the night in the celis, for if I could have procured bail to any amount it would not have been accepted. Not only was I charged with the mo3t territ>le of all crimes, but the charge was supported by prima facie evidence that looked practically conclusive. The handcuffs had been found in my pocket, and I was accused of procuring the escape from justice of the notorious Maria S . the wife of a member of the Nihilist Inyr Circle, then serving a life sentence in Siberia. No fewer than four murders had been traced to her, and now I wa3 charged with complicity in a fifth, that of a well known English detective who had sought to make a brilliant coup by taking her alone. She seemed to have the power of fas cinating men with her beauty till they became her slaves, and then striking them dead by some terrible and myster ious agency that ieft no trace save death behind it. There is no need to dwell on the hor rors of the time that folio wed my arrest. Everything that money and skill conld do for me was done, but I was com mitted for trial on the circumstantial . evidence to answer the charge or mur der. While I lay in jail awaiting my trial the search for Marie S became an absolute hunt to death. Despite all this, so perfect was her skill iu disguise, and so unlimited her fertility of resource, that she might hive evaded pursuit after all, had it not been for one of those slips that the cleverest of criminals seem to make sooner 01 later. . A smart young chemist's assistant, at a fashionable watering place, one even ing oo toe pier made the acquaintance of a very pretty girl, who said that she was^udying chemistry for the science and art examinations. This turned the conversation on chem icals, and she ended by asking him to get her a quantity of a very poisonous substance which she wanted for an ex periment, and whjch she could not buy because she was at stranger in the town. The chemist's assistant was a sharp young fellow, and he saw the ciemicfal she asked tor wa3 not in the syllabus of the science and art department. He told his employer of the occurrence ii the next?day, and in the evening took | the girl some crystals of a harmless salt ; which resembled what she had wanted I somewhat closely. "This is not what I asked for," she [ said, as she loaked into t'le packet. "No, you can't make prussic acid out that, miss, but it's safer to play with," coolly re]$ecl the youth, and as he spoke a man who had been leaning over the rail of the pier a few yards away movea siiently up behind the girl, pinioned her arms to her side and held her down to the seat. t The detective called a cab oa the es plenade, and the three got in and drove to the police station, pulling up the win do vs to avoid any possible obsevation as they went through the streets. When the cab reached the station there was no sign or sound of movement inside ic. The cabman . got dojea *nd> opened the door, aod as he did no he staggered back an* fell gasping lor breath to the pavement. -v j Inside the cab Mary S sat with her two would-be captors ?deal, and on the face of each corpse there the same expression that there was on the features of the dead man who was takes, out of the carriage at Paddington. When the clothing of Ma.'ie S r came to be searched the mystery was solved by the discovery of one of tils: ? most inferuaily ingenious contrivances that hive ever servei the purpose of murder. Inside the dres3, just above the "j-?istbind on the right hand side, were ~ " ' wo small rubber ball pumps, such as are used for ordinary SDray producers. From these two tubes lei up to a bottie suspendei round the cec":. This had two compartments and two necks closed by rubber coi ks, through which ran thin tubes, which ended in ! the mouths of the two golden serpents I coiled in the form of a brooch. The horrible apparatus was so arranged j that, on working the ball pumps by pressing the right arm against the side t worsts of vapori could be ejected from ! the serpents' mouths. Tnese jets when I united formed what was practically a vapor of prussic acid, which wooM be blown directly in the face of any one within a couple of feet of the brooch, and would of course kill them almost in - ! stantly. V? To the wearer of the brooch ,ifeere ' would be iittie or no danger, provided she hell her breath for a couple of min utes ani moved quickly away, as the gas mixes very rapidly with the air and is soon lost, f*a a ora fined space like the cab the atmosphere would soou be so saturated that it would be death to breathe it. Ail this was, of course, told to rae after my release, which was effected im mediately after the mystery was cieared up. ? Sheffield Telegraph. THREE^STATtiS'ljKlEFS.

Htr^body wag stto vond recognition i A FALSE CLAIM. I. ? J ? jl ? ? JEfc FAILURE OF THE ATTEMPT TO DIS COVER A SINGLE MAN WH08S WACtBS . HAVE BEEN HAI?3D BY THB M KIN* LEY BILL. Congressman Warner has been nukite njst persistent search for the msn tyose wages have been increased by *.he ojeration of the McKinlev Tariff ii a speech in the House just prior to adjournment he declare! that" the museum men were looking for just this individual as a most rare and precioui x-unvsuy, wneretipon the American Economist, tbe official organ of the Pro tective Tariff League, prod uced a list of twenty-eight instances in which it was claimed that wages had been raised in consequence of the operation of the McKinley law. Each individual case cited has been carefully- investigated, and the result affords but little hope or comfort for the museum men. The man whose wages have beca rai?ed is still un discovered. The first claim is that wor). meo ia the Haskell & Barker Car Company works in Michigan City, Ind., had obtained an advance of fire per cent. Now these are ^he facte: In October, 1888, the wages ofiron -moulders were reduced twenty* i five cent; a day. The following spring the wages of all others were reducri twelve and one-half cents a day. Iti May, 1890, more than a year later, all j employes, iron-moulders included, >h secured an advance of twelve and I naif cents a day, making the wage* just what they were before the reduction, except those of the moulders, whose wages were twelve and one-half ceots leB8. All this happened, both the re duction and the .restoration, before the HcKinley Tariff act went into effect. It is manifest that the restoration of wages was Dot produced by the operation of the law, for when the restoration was granted the Jaw hal uotNteguu to operate. It was claimed that Wooster and Stod dard, manufacturers of jackets sad over alls at Walden, N. Y., employing^hree or four men and about twenty girls, had increased wages five percent. About two months ago the girls went on strike, and as h result wages were readjusted. If there was an increase, which does not fully appear, it was forced from the firm by the strike and was not in any $}y due to the operation of ! the McftnUtj Tariff act. The girls now earn about ft a week. Very few earn fcZi j The Camden Woolerf Company, of I Capden, Me., was said St have raised ?wages ten pet cent. The^-company had lout; logins which had more heavy. work I thau the others, and more picks to the inch. There wa$ a slight raise for'work done on these looms. All the &tfcer hands are working for the same wages they have been receiving ever since the mill sturtecU Wages average from 75 cents to $1.50 a day. T.ie report that the Rider Engine Company, of Walden, N. Y., haa raised wages ten per cent.k leems to be wholly false. There has been no increase what ever for ten years. On tly contniry wa^es have been going down ?teadi!y ?!uce 1675. f J ue story inai ine Jtiawtnoroe jnuis, I of Glenville, Conn., bad advanced wages | fifteen per cent., is equally fabe. One : man bad his pay raised in July last from ! $1. 15 to $1.25 a day to keep hi-: in the i factory. Ia the woolen department about eighty men, all Hungarians, ; Poles". Swedes, Daues, andrftuasian?, ex ' cept six or eight Germans, had their wa<res reduced in Juno last from $1 and $1.50 to. 90 cents and $1 There is hurdly a mill in the State wiiere "pro tection to the American workman" is more of a farce than it is in the Haw thorne Mills. Hardly five percent, of the employes are American born. Wa^es are claimed to have advance! twenty per cent, in Alfred DoSge's fac tory in Dolgeville, N. Y. This is ny, true, but it has a slight ba>h of truth, aa?l this is that basis* The' firm pays exceptionally low ?wa^cs, $1.37| to $1.50 a day for harvi labor, much of which is skilled, ' tfrl this makes it essential for the firm to hold out some inducement to persuade the men to remain in the mill. This it does by promising to increase annually the wages of such of its employes as have been conspicuously faithful during the year. Between forty and fifty have received this advance in 1891. No one has received any advance this year. This system of raising wa^es was adopted by this firm long before the McKinley bill j ?was thought of. It is abso utcly untrue j that any advancc in this mill is the result j of that law. There is a little planing and sortiog mill in Sault Sic. Mario, Mich., which is owned by the "Lake. Superior Lumber Company," and whic'i employs fro n fif teen to twenty hands three or four days in the week. There was a claim set up that this mill had increased wages flfteeapei cent. This is simply fals^ There has been jj.o .^dyaace of in the estab lishment. r Equally false if ^tlie report that ^ierc has been an advance ot twenty-fite pet cent, in the wages paid ia the factory of J. C. Pass, in Koxooro. N. C. In the first place Mr. Pass has no factory what ever. He is, however, a part owoer in a grist and saw mill run by water-power .about two miles from Roxboro, and io , which on' y three men are employed. ^There ha? been no increase wage* nere. Prices are as !ow as they ever }.vo been. 1 'J o what an extremity has th j cause of ^otectioQ suu* when such instances a% cse are cited to show how the McKin - law has raised the wages and in cased the prosperity of the American 'ifcman! Here is a case that is still ^ec. It. was claimed with a great righ of trumpets that H. L. Chan r of White Pigeon, Mich., bad tarily increased the wijes in hi* ?y fifteen p?r cent, because of a gne?s natf a desire on his part that orkingmen should share in a pros-' 1 mat was coming to mm m t>ouna -easure as a result of tho beneficent ;ags of the McKiutey Tariff law. jbapman ra&nu&etwies a patent ;nd emjplo$%d&sfc^wo men betide* ? > One is * machinist and the g? a moulder^ Tae machinist is .iwettty-ose yeir? old.

After a while Mr. Chapman found that he was worth more and so advanced his wages to Qfty cents a daf . - The moulder was good for nothing so h* discharged him and hired another and ! better man. The most he paid the old hand was $1.25 a day. Another wildly absurd claim was that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com pany had increased wages twenty per cent, in its abops at Grafton, W. Va. Whoever first made this claim fcust hare been the victim of a practical joke. pie-, wazes of the Baltimore and Ohio em ploye* mere iu?te, cuu?i*mij teijueu. downward. During the lart year htm- | drcds of hsods have been thrown i oi employment, and many have bean compelled to leave Graftoa for other^ places in search of work. The found rr, which employed seventy-five men, has been^closed completely. The force of machinist* hu been greatly reduced, the carpenter shops have been torn down, and nearly all the large number of ctr penters formerly employed hare been discharged. Those who hare been re? tsiood hare their wages reduced from $2-25 a nay to $1.75. The rtul road hands are compelled now tn lourteen hours a day instead of twelve before they get any extra fxat-and those employed who formerly ^Worked tea hours a day are only permitted to work eight now and are paid accordingly. These are sample cases. The more they are examined the more it will be come apparent that either there has been made -a wilful attempt to deceive in the matter of these reported increase* of Wages, or that the American Economist has been imposed upon. ?. It is more probable thartoelatter is the oo, for in its list is the name 0? B. Howitzer, of Chaseburg, Wis., who is said to hare raised wages in bis factory ten per cent. Chaseburg is a little town of abont fifty inhabitants. There is no factory there and the** is so' man named Howitxer there. It is sill a hoax. No one hfs ever yet claimed that there have been do individual case* where wagesliave been increited within the United^ State* since the McKinley bill became $ law, but the claim ha* been made and repeated that no well-authen ticated case had yet been reported where wages had been increased in consequence of the operation of that law, while all over the land, ih every State and in well nigh everf county, there has arUen ca*e after case where wages have been re d'ueed in some protected industry. The people OT the country are taxed osten sibly to enable the wage^ of American workmen to be increase^. Wages have not been increased. The; have in many cases been reduced. What then becomes of the money which the \ American peo ple pay to the manufacturers in tariff, taxes?? N^w York Worfa. "Out of Their Own Month*." No raore than casual examination of the report of the Treasury Departmeot is required to prove the utter absurdity of Republican assertions that the McKinloy act has reducod prices. This report shows, for example, that the following protected aecessariei of life advanced in price from the parage of the McKinley bill to Jane 30th, 1891, as follows : Bituminous coal, 10 centi a ton. v Manufactures of flix, hemo and jute, 3 cdfcts a pound? due to the cordage trmt. Cotton clotfo. 1 coot a yard . Common window-glass, 1 cent a pound. Carpet?, 86 cents a yard. From 1880 to June 30th, 1891, cotton cloths advanced 2 cents a yard; carpets, $1.23 a yard; pig iron, $5.23 a ton, aad leaf tobacco 8 cents a pound. Accepting for the present argument the statement of the Treasury Depart ment, we find that the farmers are not receiving,^ much under the McKinley act as they received during the period of the Walker tariff, commonly abused by the protectionists as the "free trade era." From 1855 to 1860 the fanners re ceived from 72 to 89 cents a bushel for their corn; in 1891 they received 57 cents. In the former period they re ceived frdm 98 cents to $1.66 a bushel for their wheat; in 1S91 the price wai ! 93 cents. The fact is that all necessaries of lite have increased in price since the Mc Kinley act, while the prices of farm products have decreased since that ter rible "free-trade era." In other words, the farmer gets less for his wheat and pays more for his wife's calico dress. This is shown by the official figures of a Republican Administration. ? New York World.
