was not aietier and
second, that I was
not in a smoking com

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

"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
