It la an ac count of how the present Gaekwar of Daroda won his throne. In 1875, after tho Maharaja Malhar Rao was deponed, tho council sought a -worthy member of the family n his successor. Four sons of tho houso lived In tho city, but tho council felt that they were all too old and Incom - potent to become efficient rulers. In a distant village In a mud hut, tho council found a poverty-stricken family of tho roral race.

After somo dollborntlon tho council decided that ono of thoso boys should have tho throne, but left tho selection to tho Dowager Maha ranee. Accordingly, tho throo brothers Go pal, Dada and Sampat were sum moned to the city of Dnroda Shortly aftor their nrrivnl, they woro admitted to tho presenco of tho maharanoo. Her highness asked each in turn why ho come to Ilaroda, The youngest was so awed and be wildered by tho mngnlficonco of tho court that aftor smiling foolishly for a moment, ho burst Into a storm of tears and sobs. Tho next In ngo, who was more lolld. did not behave so hysterically, Ho answered tho quory ns any well behnved Hindu lad of his ago would havo dono. Ho hnd como to Baroda, bo declared, because his relatives had brought him thoro. Rut when Gopal was asked tho snmo question, he airily responded: i havo como to bo tho Maharaja of Daroda." Tho mnhnronoe and hor councilors with ono accord decided that tho youth who gavo thlo bold reply show ed tho moBt promise of becoming nn eblo ruler of his pcoplo.

In tho Island pf Sumatra, has wrltton homo nn account of tho capturo nnd trans nortntlon of a young wild olophnnt In a. motor car by n rosldent of tho town. The elephant, which was well roped, was driven to tho nenrest path In tho forest, and with groat difficulty tho motor car arrived at tho cpot, a kind of platform replacing tho body. Tho elephant wns Induced to mount tho platform and was strongly securod to It. Tho trip to Slantar started, but difficulties at onco aroao, becnuao tho lpphnnt. who trunk was free, used his probosclB to oxnmlno In turn tho chauffeur, tho sonts In front, tho mo chinorq, nnd finally tho guiding wheel, his Inst mnnouvor nearly upsot ting tho enr, which was brought to n stop, as tho Journey was becoming dnngerous. The elephant's trunk wob then strapped to his body and tho car arrived nt Slantar without further In cident, This Im probably tho first tlmo that a wild elephant has had a ride on n motor car.

Ho couldn't or wouldn't do it, and I sont Andy up to Dobbs Ferry to tako a look at tho Tomplo mansion, to find out what sort of a prospect thoro was for an oxchango of tho Tomplo bank-roll. Tho houso was far In tho country and about on tho dividing lino with Hast ings. Andy camo back with a report that the game was as easy as tho kick of n gooso, and the coin-box was llko finding it in tho street. I did not exactly relish going back to old tricks, but something had to be done, ana mat was all thoro was nhnut It.

DETECTIVE ARMSTRONG'S TALE. "Thero lo an easy solution," said Detective Armstrong, "to every myB tory, and whon mysterious circum stances are clearod away it always makoa you wondor how tho propor key escaped you'. The robbery of Androw Tomplo in hla home in Dobbs Ferry was one of thoso pocullar cases that you will not moot more than once In a llfetlrao, nnd they never fall to arouse nil tho enthusiasm In a fel low who has any of tho dotoctlvo in stlnct. "I reached tho Temple mansion tho morning aftor tho robbory, nnd tho first Baluto I got was thnt Andrew Templo had been murdered by thieves during tho night. The family phyaleran wna present to attend to tho women In tho household, who woro suffering from aovero shock, and ho Informed mo that Mr. Tomplo had been killed by n pistol wound In the rorlimd. I looked nt tho dead man nnd saw Just nhovo tho tomplo n small hole which looked like tho woundB I hnd eeen made in the head by bullets, and I took It for granted that the physician was correct. I had a raur dor then upon my hands, as woll iib tho robbory, which only became nn lnoldent In tho investigation. I fol lowed tho usual form, which Is a sec ond nature to tho detective, of look ing over tho dotalla of tho robbery, to seo If tho work had been done by experta or chance visitors. I hunted high nnd low about tho promises, and I could not And tho allphtont tndlon tlon na to how tho thieves bad gained nn entrnnco. I had It upon tho words of tho sorvantB and several mombers of tho family that overy window and door hod boon found locked In the morning, when thoy hnd oxamlned tho houso, with tho exception of the window on tho second floor over tho piazza, and this was nover locked. "It would not have given any good socond story men troublo to have reached tho window by climbing from tho stoop, but thero were no scratches anywhere to show that this plan of ontranco had boen adoptod.

A peculiar circumstance was that he had two largo revolvers In his room, and they wero found whore they woro usually kopt. It naturally struck me, that If he had heard thiovos working In the lower part of tho house he would have armed hlm Bolf, beforo starting out to make an investigation. Any sane man would have taken that procautlon. More over I could not understand how a pistol shot could have been fired in the houso without arousing tho fam ily. Tho aafo had been cleaned out entirely, nnd even papers had boen taken which wero of no value or uso to any ono oxcont Mr. Tnmnln. I thought a fow days later that I had found a Solution tn trmnv nf tlfn nam. liar circumstances, but In fact I was miles nwfty rom tho truth. "Aftor Mr. Templo was burled a search was mado for his will, and ono was found in his desk in his offlco in this city. It was dated ton years before his death, nnd it gave Robert Tomplo, the oldest boy, ono-thlrd of the estato, after providing for Mrs. Tomplo, and the remaindor of tho estate was divided equally among the four children. Bob Templo seemed to bo the only one who waa pleased over tho will. Tho day aftor the will was read I recolvod word to call upon Lawyer Trumbul, Mr. Temple's law yer. Ho Informed me in tho preo- enco or two of Mr. Temple's children, mac several months boforo hlB death, Mr. Templo mado a new will In which Bob Temple had been left a small allowance Instead of tho bulk of the estato. Mr. Temple's reason for do ing this was to prevent Bob from squandering the money in riotous liv ing and gambling, and the lawyer wna poBltlvo that tho will had been kopt in Mr. Templo's safo nt homo. He hnd aeon it thoro two dnys before the. robbery. "With this informntlon In my mind It seemed to me that tho person most Interested In the death of Mr. Temple wns his son Bob, and tho more I uiougui oi it tne stronger boenmo my conviction thnt Bob had a hand In tho robbery. The way I figured It out was that Bob, who spent most of his tlmo nway from home with a fast sot, had found out about tho making of the will which cut him off. Ho put up a Job to got tho will, and brought tho thieves to the houso and lot them In with his keys. Thoy wont to work on tho safe and tho old man heard thorn. He called from his room to know who was thoro, nnd Bob an swered. Then tho old man came down to soo what wns going on. Bob know that stealing the will would amount to nothing without the old man's death. I believe that It was tho Intention of Bob to kill tho old man boforo ho left tho house. When Mr. Templo entered the room Bob, or perhaps one of tho crooks, shot mm. -men tho way was easy for the thloves, and easier for Bob to win his fortune Tho evidence pointed In this diroctlon, nnd somo enterprising reporter got hold of some of the facts nnd published a story about tho loss of tho will, nnd some facts which Bob Templo would have to oxplaln. "Bob's family turned ngnlnst him bitterly, nnd I wns on tho point of putting him under nrrest when Law yer Trumbul received n letter con talnlng tho missing will from n per son who said thnt ho wns ono of tho crooks. Tho letter gavo another ploce of startling informntlon to tho effect that Mr. Tomple had not boon shot, nnd tho wound In his forohoad had been made by falling against tho safe. To verify this tho body wbb exhumed, and tho wound In the head was found not to have fractured tho skull. I found on ono of the hinges of the safo a fow spots of blood, nnd the sharp point of the hlngo hnd un doubtedly mndo tho wound. "With the shndow of suspicion re moved from Bob Temple, I took him into my conlldonco nnd found him to be the best ono In tho family after all, in splto of his wlldness. Ho told mo all about his hnblts, and recalled that one day ho had Bpokon to Chan Wooley about his father's wealth and the valuables that ho kept In his safe. I became a regular visitor In Wooley'a gambling house, and one evening I noticed a ring on tho finger of one of the doalers which resembled ono that had been taken from Temple's snfo. After the game I arrested the doaler. I accused him of committing the rob bery and murder, He told me tho ring had boen given to him by Wooley. I got ti sample of Wooloy's handwriting and found that It was similar to the writing in the letter written by the crook who returned tho will. I arrestod Wooloy, and whon he learned of tho evidonco ngnlnst him ho admitted his guilt, but would not give awny his pnrtnors. Ho suffered punishment nlono, nnd crooks every where sounded his praise." Farrell Did Not Falter. James A. Fnrrell, of the United States Steel corporation, has a reputa tion for courago.

Not only every Harvard man but every visitor who has crossed the classic yard of tho old university will bo interested in the fact that Holworthy hall, one of tho dormitories facing on the elm shaded quadranglo, celebrates its con tennry this year. For a full hundred years It hns boen occupied by succes sive generations of students. Tho history of Holworthy la Inter esting. Before It was built the col lege had faced out over Cambridge common, turning Its back on what is now the yard. The thm nlrtpot h.iiiii. lngs. Harvard (1672-82), the original Sloughlon (1699) nud Massachusetts hall (1720), formed threo sides of a square open to tho wc3t. Later (17C3) Hollls was built In line with Stough ton and .with the help of Holdon chapel, three sides of another square were thus formed, this one nlso open ing to tho west. These western faces were the front of tho building. Behind them in what Is tho present yard wero wood houses, tho browhouso nnd other outbuildings. Stoughton wns finally taken down In 1780 and n. different nlan of ai-miica. mont then became possible. Still the present Stoughton, built In 1803, was plnced on a line with Hollls and tt also faced the west. In 1811, howovor, another dormitory being needed, it jvns voted In tho first place "that the corporation will pro ceed to erect a now college for tho hnbltntlon of students on the site of old Stoughton hall," and Mr. Lowoll and Loammi Baldwin woro appointed a commlttco to make necessary con tracts and superintend tho erection of the building. If this plan had been carried out It would havo effectually DiocKod the development of tho pres ent college yard. Fortunately bettor counsels prevail ed, says tho Harvard Graduates' Mag azine.
