THE WEEKLYILEDGEIt: GAFFNEY, S. C., MAY 14, “ A ** °r Evidence. A/V '°0£^ wizard.” etc COPYRIGHT, 1835. BY C P PUTNAM’S 50NV •*Ol course. I'lio man ana woman eoparated liero to avoid suspicion. By a trick tho woman obtained possession of apartments in tho very house where your intended lived, while Molitairo stopped at tho Hoffman, which, of course, is very near your own hotel. As soon as yon went to Boston they follow ed and registered at tho same hotel. You obtained tho jewels from the cus tom house, and they entered your room and robbed you during your absence. Your theory of tho murderer’s actions after the jewels were recovered by you is probably correct He went back to hunt for them, hoping that she had not placed them in the satchel or rather that she had taken them out of it, since you yourself placed them there. I think there is'no point left unexplained.” “Pardon me,” said Mr. Tbnuret, “I think you are wrong. You have not to my mind quite connected this man— what did you call him? Jean Molitairo, was it not? Well, I do not see that you bavo traced his hand to tho crime. ” “I think that I have,” said Mr. Barnes. “You do not make it clear to me,” said Mr. Thanret, as coolly as though discussing some question in which ho had but a passing interest. “You ..ay that your Moutalbon woman noticed this Molitairo when sho sold her dia monds. Later that both were missing from Paris. Tho woman turned up in New York, but how do you prove that Molitairo did not go to—let us say Rus sia?" “No,” said Mr. Barnes, “ho did not go to Russia. Suppose that I should tell yon flint I ferreted out tho fact that this name Molitairo was but an alias, and that tho man’s true name was Mental- bon? Then, when wo remember that tho wonhm’s name had been cut from all her garments, is that not significant?” This speech made a mild sensation, but Mr. Thanret remained unmoved. He replied calmly: “All things are significant—how do you interpret this fact, supposing that you could prove it?” '‘This Molitairo was peally tho dead woman’s husband. They quarreled many years ago, and she went to New Orleans, where she kept a gambling bouse, having learned tho trade from him. When they mot again in Paris, she recognized him. Then, when tho fellow conceived tho idea of following tho jewels, it suited his purpose to ef fect a reconciliation so that he might nso tho woman as a tool. After the murder it would bo to his interest to hide tho name of Moutalbon by cutting out tho marks on tho woman’s cloth ing. ” “Pardon mypursuing tho argument,” said Mr. Thanret, “but 1 find it enter taining. You surprise mo, Mr. Barnes, at the ready way in which you read men’s actions. Only are you sure you are right? ’Suppose, for instance, that the woman had cut out tho marks her self long before, at some time, when sho was using an alias, then your fact would lose some of its significance, would it not? Circumstantial evidence is so difficult to read, you see! Then, having lost that link, where do you prove Molitairo or Moutalbon guilty? Being the woman’s husband is no crime in itself.” -“No,” said Mr. Barnes, deciding that the time had come for an end of tho controversy. “Being tho woman’s hus band docs not count in itself. But when I procure in Paris tho photograph of Mylitaire, left by accident in his room at his lodgings, and when I recognize thftt as tho same man whom Mr. Mitch- el suspected and trapped into stealing tho ruby, and when upon my return to New York I find that ruby upon that very man and recover It, then wo have ifiome facts that do count. ” “Yon recovered tho ruby?” said Mr. Mitchel, amazed. “Here it is,” said Mr. Barnes, hand ing it to Mr. MitcbcL Mr. Thauret hit Lia lip, and by a strong endeavor re tained his self control. “Mr. Barnes,"said Mr. Mitehol, “I *m sorry to disappoint you, but this is not my ruby. ” “Arc yon suret” asked tho ilctective with a twinkle in his eye. “Yes, though you deserve credit, for, though not the ruby, it is the stolon vtiax 1 .. I have a ^complete set of dupli cates of my jewels, and in making my little experiment I did not care to bait my trap with so valuable a gem. I theroforo used tho duplicate, which is this. But how have you recovered if?” “I have been in.New York for sever al days. I have dovoted myself during that time to n personal watch upon Moutalbon. Yesterday, to my surprise, ho went to police headquarters and beg ged for a permit to inspect the stolen jewels, saying that through them he might throw some light upon tho mys tery. His request was granted. Suspect ing treachery, I subsequently obtained a similar permit, and investigation with tho aid of an expert showed that tho bold scoundrel bad handled tho jewels, opd so managed to change tho imita tion stone which he stole at tho festival for the real one in the set which figured in the train robbery.” ‘•fly Jove,” said Mr. Mitchel, “ho is an artist. Then I am indebted to you after all for recovering the stone? But tell us how did you accomplish it?” ”1 overheard Moutalbon once say that a wise thief would keep a stolen article Upon his ]>«jsou, so that it could not be discover' (1 without his knowledge. Therefore I UpH certain that he would himself adopt this metnoa. wnon tno conversation this evening reached a point where it was evident that all would be disclosed, tho man, who is present, dropped the ruby into his glass of burgundy, whore it would bo out of sight and easily recovered or swallowed. Later ho attempted to dispose of it in this way, but I quickly drank his glass of wine, tho ruby thuiT passing into my month. And now, Mr. Moutalbon, I arrest yon in tho name of tho law. ” Say ing which tho detective put his hand upon Mr. Thanret’s arm. Tho other guests jumped up, excited and expect ing a scene. To tho astonishment of all, Thauret remained quiet for a few mo ments, and then, speaking slowly and distinctly, said: “Gentlemen, we have hoard several stories hero tonight. Will you listen to mine and suspend judgment for a few’ moments?” “We will hear you,” said Mr. Mitch- cl, marveling at the man’s nerve. Tho others resumed their seats, all except the detective, who stood just hack of his prisoner. “I will trouble you to fill my glass,” said Thauret to the waiter, and after being served he coolly sipped a mouth ful. “I shall not boro you with a lengthy recital,” he bfgan. “I shall simply make a statement Society, the civilized society of today, frowns upon and pun ishes what it terms ‘tho criminal class.’ Yet how many have over examined into tho existing state of things and analyzed tho causes which make th< criminal a possibility? Tho life of such a man is not so inviting that ono would adopt it from choice, ono I mean whe had moral instincts. With tho naturally immoral it would bo otherwise, ol course. But if ono bo born immoral, who is to blamo? The individual him self or tho antecedents, including both parentage and circumstances? Wo pity the man who is congenitally tainted with disease, and wo condemn that oth er man who is tainted in morals, though his condition is analogous gnd traceable io similar causes. Such a pm» I #pi. J confess that I am and always have been a criminal, at least in tho sense of acquiring money by what are termed illegitimate methods. But yonw’ill say, Mr. Barnes,” turning for a moment to the detective, and thus while speaking to him attracting his attention, so that unnoticed he dropped a small white pel let into his glass of wine, “that I work ed for the jewelry house. Well, what ever I am 1 have aimed to bo artistic, as Mr. Mitchel admitted of me a few moments ago. By seeming to earn an honest living I blinded tho keen eyes of tho Paris police, so that, though many suspicions have been cast in my direc tion, conviction has always been impos sible. So now. while pretending to ex plain to you all, I have explained noth ing. I simply designed to prevent con viction of tho crimes charged against mo, as I do, thus. ” With a swift movement ho drained his wineglass, though Mr. Barnes at tempted to prevent him. In ten miu- utca ho was dead. THE END. THE FIN DE SIECLE DAMSEL. She ha* hair that in fluffy, straight, bunged oi half curled; Hus u parasol, oft by hor deft Ungers twirled.

Tho Anglo-Saxon suffixes “kin” aud “cock” were used ns diminutive or en dearing forms of personal names, just as tho Normans used tho suffixes “et,” “ot,” “on” and “on. "Thus from Hitch, itself a diminutive of Richard, wo got tho surnames Kitchkin, Hitchcock, Hitchens aud Hitchiseu. Any common baptismal name affords a number of such variants, which became fixed as patronymics or surnames. Thero are, for example, at least 15 ^different forms of William available for that purpose. English forms: William, giving Wil liams, Williamson, MacWillinm, Fitz- william; Will, giving Wills, Wilson; Bill, giving Bilson; Willy, giving Wil- lison. Anglo-Saxon forms: Wilkin, giving Wilkie, Wilkins, Wilkinson; Oilkin, giving Gilkiuson; Wilcock, giving Wil cox. Norman forms: Gnillanmc, giving tho surname Gillum ; Uuillamot, giving Gillamot; Guillon, giving Gillon ; Guil- lut, giving Gillot, Gillotson; Guill, giv ing Gilson, McGill; Willett, giving Willot; Williamot, giving Wilmot; Wil- len, giving Willau, Willing.—New York Times.. Vegetarian* Use Fleshly Name*. Vegetarian restaurants are by degrees giving up the use of such titles for their dishes as convey tho idea of a meafdiet, but they still find the word “steak” indispensable. Otherwise their bill of faro is much improved aud of a more inviting character than it used to be. “Indian broth” roads well on a cold December day, and “braised onion with tomatoes” appeals to many. But what is “vegetable turkey?” It seems to bo rather a confession of weakness to be dependent on tho animal world for names wherewith to invest tho various preparatious of vegetables, cereals and fruits. To America they owe many forms of succulent and tempting food, such as fried corn, maize with plums and pineapple pudding made from tho tinued fruit. The use of cheese, for bidden by some of the strictest follow ers of vegetarianism, enables tho cater ers to offer such savory dishes as welsh rabbit, cheese fritters aud custards, aud tho odors that are omitted are of the must savory and appetizing description. —Loudon News. A BICYCLE THIEF. A certain nows agency had telegraphed abroad tho report that I am in Switzer land, not for the benefit of my health, but for the purpose of stealing bicycles, and they added that I was an export thief, aud, for a time at least, I had succeeded iu baffling tho most praise worthy attempts of tho police of two towns to capture mo. While this statement is naturally flat tering to mo it is nevertheless a libel, aud, in fact, if 1 cared to use strong language I might go so fur as to tako tho last syllable away from tho word “libel.” The whole trouble arose through Switzerland not having a proper lan- unge of its own, that hilly country pre- erriug to express what few thoughts it has iu a mixture of French, German and Italian, depending on what particular cautou you happen to bo iu. They say that the' Swiss are natural linguists. Unfortunately they are. Any combina tion of sounds you may make means something to any Swiss to whom you happen to bo talking, for he knows so many languages that yon aro suro to hit one of them, and so you convoy ideas to him that you had no thought of oxpress- iug. October weather is lovely In Switzer land. Most of tho visitors have then gone, prices come down one-half, and the air is sweet and cool, with usually a cloudless sky. Under those circumstauces I thought It would be a nico thing, as the roads were good aud tho scenery picturesque, to take a bioycle tour right arouud Lako Thun, beginning at the town which gives the lake its name, going around the north side of the lake to Interlaken aud returning by the south shore. Tho hotel keeper told mo that if I went up tho street, turned to tho right, went under an arcade until I came to a tunnel, penetrated that and emerged on nother street, turned to tho loft aud opt oij I would come to tho shop of a innn who would let me have a bicycle bu hiro by the day or the hour. I fol lowed the directions os closely as possi ble and thought I recognized tho shop because a bicycle was leaning against the wall. Tho owner was leaning against tho doorway, looking at tho bi cycle outside. Tho following conversa tion in many languages took place be tween us: “Haheu pie un bicycletto a louor?” I opened on him with tho above impartial mixture of German aud Frcuch. It seems ho understood mo to ask if that was his bicycle, whereupon ho replied in four languages: “Yaw, yaw, oni, yes, so.” Theu, throwing in a bit of Italisu, I led off with: “Quanta costa la machine a la boor, oder per tag?” Now, I submit that to any educated person, or even to a university muu, this sentonco said as plainly as print, “How much do you wont for this ma chine by the hour or tho day?” I tried afterward to get the magistrate to see this, but he, not knowing Italian, shied at tho very beginning of the phrase. Tho owner of tho bicycle on oath de clares that ho tbonght I asked how mnch the bicycle hod cost him. Ho says that ho answered ho paid 500 francs for that brute of a machine, made in France, while I understood him to agree to let mo have it for 5 francs a day, which was cheap. I was in a hurry to bo off and was afraid ho might repent his offer, so I said it was all right, aud II would take it, whereupon, without further parley, I wheeled the bicycle into the middle of the road, sprang on its back and was off, leaving the aston ished man standing by his door, too thunderstruck, it seems, to make any outcry until I had passed beyond his sight at tho first turning of the road. I pedaled serenely ou, little realizing what a commotion I had left behind me, and tho one funny thing about this most regrettable episode is that I spent an cxceediugly quiet, peaceful aud en joyable day, not knowing I was pursued, t nuking no attempt to elude anybody md yet eluding them iu what appeared Afterward to bo by subtle and crafty Id edges. Tho magistrate could not bo [persuaded that my sitting on the ve randa of a restaurant in the main street of Interlaken, with tho bioycle iu plain view of everybody, was not tho brazen act of a hardened criminal, who know the police would be searching for him iu the back streets. t Whon the man standing against tho oorway had recovered partly from his mazemeut at my sudden flight on his Imacbiuo, he rushed to the police station land told tho authorities there a plausi- E 1 - 1 ^ foreigner had engaged him in polite ondorfinn conversation, aud, while his mind was distracted in trying to fol low his remarks, had seized tho oppor tunity and also the ■machine aud was at that moment making his way to tho north road toward Interlaken. Now, capture uuder these circom- Btances seemed to be deliciously easy. Thoro were uo branching off roads. The mouutains were on cue side and tho lako ou tho other, on neither side of which was bicypling practicable. Therefore all the two policoiB$n to do. when they mounted their macl4j , ° 8 . was to ride faster Mian I di<V-t^^ fi o overtake me. As I had uo idou thaW rat!e ' VUH o^. I plunged along in a leisurely manner and would undoubtedly have been taken near Interlaken if it had not been for tho fact that some years ago a company built a funicular railway from the mar gin of tho lako a milo or so np to St. Boatcnbnrg. I had lived iu .St. Boatou- burg once, and I remembered that tho road from thero to Interlaken was a good ono, so I thought that perhaps it would not ho a bad plan to go up on the railway and coast down to Interlaken. I knew a man who had done it once. 1 ran well believe now that no ono over trios it the second time. Tho car goes np to St. Beatenburg three or four times a day only, but when a conplo of miles away from the landing I saw a steamer coming in, and I know if I reached the landing about the time sho did I would got a oar. I am not a racer, but I thereupon put in my best licks to mako connection with the mountain railway. The road at this point is as level as the lako itself and only a few feet above it. My thoughts turned to the railway because I knew that beyond tho lower end of it the carriage road rose high above tho lake, passed through several tunnels and then went dowh to the Interlaken plain. By taking tho up car I would avoid all this and have it down hill all the way. The policemen, it seems, caught sight of mo as I was making my spurt, and they at ouco put on extra steam, but then is a deep bay just before ono reaches tho funicular, aud they lost sight of mo as I turned tho point. I had reached the top of tho railway funicu lar, and I bicycled the milo or more along tho street, high up above tho lake, on one side of which is scattered tho village of St. Beatenburg, with its won derful view of the snow mountains—tho Jungfrau, tho Eiger, the Monch and u host of others. I found tho rido down tho zigzag road not such fun as I had expected. I saw tho brake was not going to last if I kept on, so I had to walk most of tho way down. Coming to a more level ground, I cycled gently into Interlaken, making for tho place where they sell Munich beer, and there, over a mug and a sandwich on tho main street, I made my frugal lunch, with tho bicyclo standing against a pillar of the veranda. After a smoko I proceeded out of Iu tcrlaken and took the south road that borders the lake. This read is not so good for cycling as the other, being mnch more hilly, whilo tho roadbed is more stony. I therefore walked a good deal, taking it very leisurely, and in conrso of time I was overtaken by a po liceman, who also was walking his ma chine. Ho asked me if I had met a man ou a bicycle coming from Thun, aud I told hint quite truly that I had hot. He seemed discouraged and told mo nil about tho bicycle theft aud tho arrest of tho wrong man. He feared tho thief had hidden in tho forest until ho and his comrade went past aud then perhaps rook the steamer across tho lake, or the villain might merely have protended to tako tho no -h road, while in reality ho went by tho south. Thus tho policeman hoped to meet him yet. I promised to keep a lookout, and the officer went on. When I reached Thun and cumo to tho place where I got tho bicycle, I found tho man was iu Interlaken, end bis wife, who knew all about tho rob bery, was amazed to sco tho thief re turn tho machine and place 5 francs and his thunks on the counter. I regret to say that the apparent hon esty of this action did not commend it self to tho authorities. They looked on it as tho rnso of a crafty scoundrel, who realized that, so vigilant wore tho po lice, it was impossible for him to es cape, and so endeavored to throw dust in tho eyes cf tho wise men of tho place. I theroforo had to pay tho expenses of tho chase and apologize to everybody concerned. Thus the bicyclo, at 5 francs a day, was not so cheap as { had ot first sup posed.—Luke Sharp iu Detroit Free Press. The Preacher Performed HU Port. It has long been a matter of contro versy how far tho cud justifies tho moans in getting money for good purposes. There aro occasionally found people who object to tho extortion of a church fair where yon got in for 35 cents and out for $35, and who say that tho rafflo of a charity bazaar differs from no other gambling except that nobody but the directors ever win tho prize quilts. 4 gambler from Ohio, who hod made a big fortnuc iu a saloon and faro bank, says that last winter he attended a coi-- ored church iu Florida where the preacher unuouuced that a special bless ing would bo asked for all contributors. Ouo brother put iu a dime. "Do Lord bless Bror Jones!” exclaimed tire preach er. “Brer Johnson, God bless you for that quartah. ” .VVhcu it cumo to tho gambler, ho fished out a $30 bill. “What name?” asked tho almost breath less collector. “It doesn’t matter. I am a gambler from Ohio. ” “Gamblahfrom Ohio!” shouted tho collector. Tho pas tor rolled up his eyes aud dropped on his knees: “Twenty dollars from do gnmblali from Ohio! May do good Lawd prosper him iu his business!”—Now Orleans Picayune. The Alaska Boundary. Alaska was not much thought of at tho time of its purchase, and thoro is a tradition that tho money wo paid for it really reimbursed Russia for other good offices of hers iu ourbohalf. But now it is seen to havo been worth far more than it cost. It is likely that wo do not know ns yot anything like tho full meas ure of its possibilities. It is worth re taining to the oxtromest boundary. Brit ain knows something of its value, as sho knew that of tho Columbia river years ago. We should know enough about boundary problems by this time to defend our own without shrinking or carelessness. It is not probnblo that tho Alaska caso ever will come tofarbitration. It will be settled, liko th| Maine and Oregon boundary dispute*, by negotiation and a treaty, aud tho Ulited States will lose no territory.—Pu|$land Oregonian. looking For Tronhlo.

If your calling develop a taste for matters cf this kind—for example, if you arc a writer, with a keen sonso for tho literary possibilities mil dramatic effects of such coincidences—is it strango that you should meet with more of them than your prosaic neighbor, to whom they would be trivial and dull? If you cultivate tho habit of having presenti ments and of regarding them as signifi cant, is it strango that they should be come more and more frequent, aud that among tho many some should bo vaguely suggestive or even directly corrobora tive of actual occurrences? I know of persons who detected tho gradual growth of such habits in them selves and wisely decided to check tho tendency before it became pernicious. They began to neglect them or act iu the teeth of them, and I am uuablo to discover that they have fared worse than those who religiously honor and obey these premonitions.—Robert Grant iu Scribner’s. A Flort Work* tho Hammer. At Essen, Germany, in the gmit Krupp gun works, which are situated at that place, there is a hammer that weighs 50 tons. This hammer works in connection with an anvil weighing 80 tons, which, iu turn, is placed on an anvil block weighing 120 tons. Profess or Schumann, a “trained flea man" of , Bern, Switzerland, visited Essen and j tho great war machine works a few years ago. Upon returning homo he set about making a model of tho groat ; hammer which should ho complete iu | every detail, but on such a minute scale I that the hammer could ho raised by a I flea instead of by a 100 horsepower cu- ! gino, as in tho original. In its completed state this wonderful miniature model, —frame, hammer, pulleys, etc.—weighs but 1*2 grains! Tho hammer and anvil are both of solid gold, the pulleys Ger man silver and the framework plati num. A llca, trained by Mr. Schumann, tho maker of tho model, will, at tho word of command, hoist tho hammer to tho top of tho frame, where it is auto matically set free, descending in pre cisely the same manner as tho monster after which it was modeled.—St. Louis Republic.

During the last year or so, whilo busy with tho ore concen trator, ninny thoughts and ideas as to improvements in the various forms of electrical machines aud uses had occur red to him, but he had simply made a note of them and put tho matter aside until his return to tho laboratory. Some of them that he mentioned to mo were startling. If ho lives a few’ years longer, the world can ho snro of many new in ventions.
