Mow He Escaped. CopyrlKht, 1000, by American Press Asso ciation.) "That brand of cmiiimmI tomatoes," snld grocer to 11 customer, "I cnn recommend, for I've wold them for years." "What so Interests you In that brand? You're always trying to sell them to me, when you know I prefer another kind. Do you make more on them?" "No. There Is a very different ex planation. Cnmo In hero and I'll tell you." And, lending the way to his private olllce, ho told tho following story: "One day some years ago a young woman came In here to buy some canned goods. I waited on I10T mys. lf. Those tomatoes were new In the mar ket then, and I had been offered In ducements to push them. The girl didn't appear to know what she want cd and was a hit Mustered, but tin-re Bcomcd to bo something about the label on the tomatoes that attracted her attention. It covered the can from top to bottom, and on It was a colored picture of several ripe tomatoes -Indeed, the same label that Is used to day. I sold her a can and a can of peas, both of which she seemed to select under the Inlluence of. the labels. She took them away with her. "The next day she brought them hnck, telling me that she wished mo to uiilii tl 1 with Homo other arth-les she Intended to purchase. She thru selected a lot of canned goods-marmalade, peaches, Jelly and the like direct Iiil' me to iiack all In one box. They were to bo sent to her Invalid brother. In care of n certain person at a town near tho center of tho state. Rlio until all chnri!CH and left me to ship the box when I liked. "I took an especial Interest In th girl from the first. She was so pret ty, so sad, and before she went away gave me an appealing look which I In terpreted to mean that she wanted me to be sure that her brother received the delicacies In good order. I super intended the packing myself, and, no tlclng that the can of peas Indicated fermentation, I put It aside and got another. The rest of the goods seemed to be all right, and I shipped them. "I left the can of peas In the pack Ing room till tho next day, when I tool; It un to nut It away. It had stood all night near a sink, and some one had spilled some water over It. I felt the label slip away and noticed that some thing had been wrapped tightly under it. Setting It down on a sheir, I saw that a lot of small thin saws had been Holdered around the can. "You may Imagine my astonishment My llrst Impulse was to call some one to see my find; but. suddenly roull'lnt' that the position In which I was placed reuulrcd thought before action, I took the can up to tho top lloor where I could examine It alone. The saws were highly tempered and would ctii rlcht through Iron. Upon reflection 1 HurmlHcd that (he girl had taken title and thu can of tomatoes home with her that the Hies might be fixed be ncath the labels. The tomatoes had been shipped and would doubtless gi to some prisoner who would use the biiwh about them. to cut himself out. The girl had surreptitiously used our firm, believing that any goods comlnc from us would not be suspected. "Here was a situation. Suppose tin eaws wore discovered by the author! ties, I had a line prospect of tuklnu tho place of the prisoner. 1 resolvet. to telegraph at once to tho prison olll clals a warning that would protect mo from intentional complicity. 1 hid the can with the saws still on It and, going to the olllce, was writing the telegram, when, feeling that some om was looking over my shoulder. 1 turned and saw the girl who had trapped me. I had written enough of the telegram for her to see that her game was up "There was no one else in the olllce I stepped to tho door, closed .and locked It. Kor an hour I listened to a story with Infinite complications which portrayed the landing of an Innocent young man, tho ghTa brother, In Jail for a crlmo of embezzlement Into which he had been trapped by the real criminals. "The girl, overanxious as to the ship incut or the goods, had called ostensi bly for (he purchase of some articles for horself, but really to ask If the box had been sent. Seeing me In the olllce writing, sho had slipped In and, look Ing over my shoulder, learned the situ- ntlon. Having told her story, she con eluded: " 'I know It has been very wrong of me to use you In this fashion, but' '"Do you realize,' I asked, 'that If the sawH are discovered I inn the risk of going to prison myself' "'I did not think of that. 1 wilt con fess to have done It all myself.' "I shook my head. ' 'What are you going to do? "I sat for some minutes deliberating. Neither of us spoke. There was t lie usual going on of business outside that could he seen through a glass parti tion, but within the little Indosure all was silent as the tomb. Presently 1 reached for a box of matches, scratch cd one, took up my half finished tele gram and burned It. "Can yon Imagine tho look tho girl gave me? No; you can't. Nor can any artist paint It. 1 saw it but once. 1 have Mien looks like It since from the Baino woman, but they wore as moon light fo sunlight. "The sawn found their way through tho prison cool;, an accomplice, to the prisoner. Ho escaped and has never been seen slnco In America. Ills sister Is my wife.

On a stand In 1 1 In bedroom and on tlx bureau In her bedroom the dlstiwtei wife found epistles. The one from the husband read: "I Invited my mother-in-law to pass the rest of her days with me and con tribute to our happiness.
