GOOD MBS. SBARBOW
HE! tu a nice
motherly old lady,
and I took to hei
immediately. She
explained that her
son wag away from
home a great deal
of the time, and she
desired a gentle
man lodger, that
she might have
some one in the flat
> ;< v with her at nights as she was very
■-A timid about being alone,
I was young and knew little of the
city and its ways and it really seemed
good and homelike to get into Mrs.
Sparrow’s cozy little flat and be treated
as if I belonged there. I thanked my
lucky stars that I had seen and answer
ed her advertisement for a "quiet young
gentleman lodger." •
8he took a very flattering Interest In
me, and I did not feel offended nor re
. sent her inquisitiveness when she ques
tioned me concerning my family and
seemed desirous of knowing every point
of my personal history. It seemed to be
her way of making conversation, and,
coming from a country town as I did,
I had seen a great many like her.
Finding I had not been in the city
long she began to warn me concerning
the pitfalls and snares that lay in wait
for a young man there, apparently tak
ing the greatest concern in my welfare.
She said she thanked Providence a
thousand times a day that her boy had
grown up in the midst of temptations
to become,a model young man, of whom
any mother might well be proud.
Without resorting to Mrs. 8parrow’s
tactics of questioning, I learned that
her son was in some kind of business
that kept him on the road a great deal,
and that he was seldom at home for
more than a few hours at a time.
She told me so much concerning him
that I was very desirous of meeting Au
bry, as she fondly called him. I pic
tured him In my mind as a bright and
brainy young fellow who had acquired
a most enviable knowledge of the world
and Its ways without being contaminat
ed during the acquisition.
After a time Mrs. Sparrow explained
that her son was Interested In the life
Insurance business, being a sort of so
licitor, as she called It; that Is, he was
not a regular agent, authorised to make
out policies, but he traveled about dis
covering "likely subjects," Interested
them in life insurance, and then turned
them over to an agent of some concern
In which they seemed to have the most
faith.
In this way, Mrs. Sparrow explained,
It was not necessary for him to be
bound to any one concern, but be could
work for them all, taking a commission
from the agent of any concern for whom
§£ he obtained a "subject." By working
in this manner he could make a great
leal more money than he could In work
ing for one or two concerns exclusively.
Mad I been older, or had I known a
little more of the life Insurance busi
ness, I might have asked Mrs. Sparrow
some questions about her son’s connec
tion with his professed business that
she would not have been able to answer
readily, I might have entertained some
doubts that did not enter my head as It
was.
v Gradually motherly Mrs. Sparrow In
terested mo in life Insurance. She dls
■'i covered that I carried none and then
■he led me to understand that it was
•\ my duty to lose no time In obtaining
a policy.
V But I was mote Interested In her son,
whom I had never seen. I felt he must
be a Jolly good fellow to know, and aha
hinted once or twice that he might be
able to give me a start In life, as he had
done so for several young fellows.
Occasionally she received letters from
▲ubry, so she said, and one day she In
formed me that he was coming homo
bo would be in New York In a few days.
Then it happened that Mrs. Sparrow
f waa suddenly called to Jersey City by
>/ the critical Illness of some relative.
She did not return home that night,
but, at about nine o’clock, a young man
turned up and said he was Aubry Spar
row. He seemed much put out when
he heard where his mother had gone.
£ “HOW DO THEY DO ITT"
"It any of thoae pooplo are ill In *
• little Sugar they always send for moth*
V '. or," he saM la disgust “Slie hss al
. ways been running after them and I sup
poos she always will. Now I hare but
a few hours In town, and I cannot see
’ her stall.1*
: He looked like hts mother—the re
semblance was so marked that I fancied
V' I should hare known him as her son
§ ' had I met him on the street as a strang
er, Ho was bright and sharp In conver
sailon had n pleasant smile, and was
rather fascinating. There was some
thing; mesmeric about his eyes.
> ' Wo sat in the little parlor and talked.
He samked a cigarette, lolling back In
the easiest chair, with his feet amid the
|§ trinkets on the center table. There wu
A - a bee end easy air of self-coafldenoe
Shont hhn that oulte captivated me.
i do not know how the conversation
drifted round to his business, but we
were finally talking life Insurance. All
at once he dropped his feet to the floor,
leaned forward and said:
"A man is a fool who keeps pegging
away at day labor for the money be ob
tains. Look at the men who make big
fortunes here in the city. How do they
do it? By day labor? Not much! Ha!
ha! ha! They find an easier and quick
er way. I have helped lots of young
men to good pots, and I can help you
—I will help you, for I have taken a
liking to you.”
I was startled, and I did not know
what to say. He did not give me much
time to speak.
"There is more in the life insurance
business than appears on the surface,”
he went on. "I am not plugging In
this business, but I am making hauls,
and when I make a haul somebody
shares with me. You may as well be
one to share in n pot”
‘‘I—I don’t think I understand you/'
I stammered.
L-orae on, let 8 go out woere wo can
get something to cool our throats. I
will explain,”
We went out to a saloon. I was not
in the habit of tasting liquor, but, In
his bland and persuasive way, he in
duced me to take something. Some
how, I could not refuse, and I took
something several times.
I was somewhat befogged when I re
turned to the flat alone. Aubry had
found that he must leave the city by
a certain train that would not permit
him to go back and await his mother,
and we had parted.
In a hazy way I remembered the
scheme he had proposed to me—a
scheme In which I had almost agreed
to play a part. It was the now well
known trick of Insuring under a false
name and disappearing. Evidence of
death could then be produced, and the
insurance money obtained. This money
was to be divided.
Of course I was the subject, and I
swear Aubry Sparrow had made it seem
like a shrewd piece of business, rather
than a fraud, for he had explained the
plots of Wall street money kings, which
were quite as crooked, yet escaped the
ban of the law.
He was to be In town again two days
later, and the project was then to be
carried through, In case I had the re
quired nerve.
When I reached the flat I found
two men waiting there. They followed
me up the stairs and walked In with
out the least ceremony. This made me
rather angry, and I think I should
have fought them both on the spot If
they had not explained that they were
particular friends of Sirs. Sparrow.
I explained that she might not be
home for a day or two, but they both
assured me she would arrive very soon.
They were right; sbo came within an
hour.
Mrs. Sparrow was very much sur
prised to behold her visitors at that
hour of the night, or rather morning,
and she was more surprised when they
grasped her and Informed her she was
their prisoner. She Beemed inclined to
resist, and I was on the point of wading
into them both, when one flipped back
his coat and showed a detective’s
shield.
Well, the result was they made Mrs.
Sparrow change her clothes for male
attire, and she came forth altered In
appearance—so much altered, in fact,
that I cried;
“Aubry Sparrow!”
“Yes,” said one of the detectives.
“He Is very slick, and he makes up as
a nice old lady. His true name Is Hol
colmb, and he is wanted for several big
Insurance swindles, to say nothing of
three or four murders. He has killed
a few of his accomplices in order to
obtain the Insurance on their lives, but
it is recently that absolute proof
against him has been obtained. He was
keeping shady, but we succeeded In
nosing him out here. I presume you
were to become another of his victims.
You had a narrow escape.”
A narrow escape truly, and I had
been taught a very good lesson—one
that I never forgot
Months later I saw Holcomb tried
for murder, convicted, and sentenced.
He was not electrocuted, as he found
a way to commit suicide before the
time for his execution arrived. The
newspapers were filled with accounts
of bis crimes, and the nice, motherly
“Mrs. Sparrow” proved to be the king
of cold-blooded villains.

In the fifties an average middle-class

A GERMAN "KING OP TftAMPS.”
Once ft Valiant Soldier, He Became a
Hopeless Wreck.
A few days ago there was burled in
Brooklyn, N. Y., the body of William
Heiser, alias “Jumbo," 45 years of age.
He was known as “The King of
Tramps," and for the past twenty years
was one of the most interesting char
acters of the city. He was the son of
the mayor of a town in Germany, and
through a money broker was In receipt
of an allowance of $100 every three
months. Even under the dirt of a tramp
he showed his breeding. Tall and com
manding in appearance, he was In the
habit of reminding all with whom he
came in contact that although a tramp
he was once a gentleman. Of the thou
sands who knew him no one could con
tradict him. Twenty years ago he made
his appearance in Brooklyn. It was at
the time when lodging houses were at
tached to the station houses. He was
ever about the Bedford avenue station,
cleaning and tending the furnaces. All
attempts to make him talk of his pre
vious life were a failure. His only an
swer was: “I am a gentleman If I am a
tramp." It was his pleasure on receiv
ing a remittance to take his friends out
and get them drunk and then pay their
fines. Through the money broker It was
learned that “Jumbo” gained a gold
medal during the Pranco-Prussian war,
but that having Incurred the enmity of
the German government he came to
this country. Eighteen months ago, on
expressing a wish to reform, his rela
tives sent him $1,000, with which he
Started In the furniture business, but
failed. An officer found him sitting on
the steps of the hospital at Bedford ave
nue and South Third street. He awoke
him. “Keep moving," said the officer.
Jumbo’s reply, “They don’t know me
any more,” was scarcely audible, but he
kept moving as best he could. A few
hours later another officer found him
Bitting in the gutter. He made an at
tempt to get up, but fell back uncon
scious. He was taken to the station
house, where he died. Fortunately the
regular $100 remittance was received
the day after, and he was not buried
in the potter’s field.
THE MYSTIC THREE.
Something About the Time-Honored
Sopemtltlon for the Member.
I was reading an article the other
day on the superstitious regard for the
number three, and it set me think
ing. There must be something in it. The
third repetition of anything is gener
ally looked upon as a crisis. An arti
cle may he twice lost and recovered, but
when lost the third time is lost for
good. Twice a man may pass through
Borne great danger in safety, but the
third time he loses his life.
If, however, the mystic third can be
successfully passed all is well. Three
was called by Pythagoras the perfect
number, and we frequently find Its use
symbolical of deity. For Instance there
are the Trinity of the Christian relig
ion, the trident of Neptune and the
three-forked lightning of Pluto. In my
thology there are the three Fates, the
three Furies and the three Graces.
Shakespeare Introduced three witches.
I can remember the old nursery rhyme
about the three wise men of Gotham,
and the song of the three blind mice
whose tails were cut off by the farm
er's wife.
I have heard of three volume novels,
and know that most doctors order their
medicine to be taken three times a day.
We eat three times a day. The Bible
speaks of a man being thrice blessed.
The old saw—"If at first you don’t suc
ceed, try, try again”—gives three trials.
Cleveland tried three times for the
presidency and succeeded twice. Surely
he is not going to brave fate and try
again?
Hard on the Rescuers.
"Charlie Brown—later on the famed
Aretemus Ward of literature—and I
were walking toward the office along
toward 1 o’clock in the morning, when
we were reporters together on the
Cleveland Leader,” said Gen. Warren P.
Edgarton, "when we heard piercing
cries from the second story of the house.
“ 'Ah, ha! Beauty in distress!’ ejacu
lated Brown. ‘Let’s go over.'
“Over we went, and into the room
where the trouble waa We saw a
burly fellow fearfully belaboring his
little mite of a wife, and I rushed in
to do the saving act. Well, that fellow
was a whopper. The table was set for
a meal, he evidently being some sort of
a night-worker, and the first thing he
did was to swing me across the top of
it, making a clean sweep of the dishes
and the hash. Then I was fired under
the table and had it overturned on me.
Just then as I got a chance to breathe,
I looked around to see what Brown was
doing for the relief of the country.
*' ‘Time!’ he shoubed; and as I turned
my banged-up head I saw him perched
on a chair on the corner, with his watch
in his hand, enjoying the situation
hugely.
“The ruffian let me up and we two
proceeded on our way. The next day
after I had the pleasure of reading a
vivid account of the fight described by
*rounds’ as Brown saw the scrap.”—

Ttldan Knoouragad Yood( Politician*.*
Governor Tilden believed In encour

with a taste for political life, and in

HAVE HARD LIVES.
Thfl OMrutagt of Seine a Medical
Mlaelooarj la China.
The 'women who go out os medical
missionaries have a hard time of it, ac
cording to a writer in the Philadelphia
Times, aside from mere inconveniences
arising from living in such a country.
In prescribing medicines not only is
the fear of a future accusation of pois
oning ever present, but the possibility
that it may prove to be a reality. Thus
a bottle of liniment curing the vener
able grandmother of rheumatism may
be lent to a neighbor stricken with
small pox as an infallible remedy; or
the entire contents of a vial of tooth
ache medicine be administered in one
dose to a teething infant. Celestial rea
fipa that if a small portion is of any
benefit the whole bottleful, taken at
once, multiplies its usefulness in a cor
responding ratio. Therefore, if not pre
viously warned, experience soon teach
es the missionary to make it an infal
lible rule never to dispense a poison
ous remedy or one which could do harm
if the entire quality were taken at once.
Liniments and toothache drops com
pounded of nonpoisonous drugs may
not be highly potent, but they are at
least harmless. When it is absolutely
necessary to administer a powerful
remedy several times or for several
times in succession the doctor puts each
dose up in a separate vial, powder or
capsule, and leaving them at the dis
pensary with a trained American
nurse or other foreign helper, directs
that a servant or child of the patient
be sent there for one every three hours,
or three times a day, as the case may
require, otherwise It would all be taken
at once, or divided among ailing neigh
bors.
Then the women doctors are obliged
to be ever on the alert to keep the na
tives from stealing drugs from their
medicine chests and so run the risk of
being poisoned. Then, too, the curious
objection to privacy which prevails in
China and makes it unwise for foreign
ers, especially doctors, to insist upon
it for fear of being regarded with su
perstition, makes it necessary to con
duct all operations in semi-public man
ner and there is always the danger that
some of the spectators may object at a
critical point in the operation and thus
imperil-the patient’s life, which would
indeed be unfortunate for the poor sur
geon. Anaesthetics are regarded with
suspicion and seldom used, but the
native stolidity to pain makes them al
most unnecessary. Altogether the life
la not one to be desired.
LOVE AT GREAT ALTITUDE.
A Lady Who Climbs Mount Bonier
Winds Up by Marrying; Her Guide.
Henry Carter, the famous Mount
Rainer guide, has fallen in love under
romantic circumstances, and will be
married by Rev. ’William M. Jeffries,
the first preacher who delivered a ser
mon on top of the mountain. There is a
possibility that Carter will be married
on top of the mountain, the place where
he fell in love last Tuesday night, with
the thermometer registering 20 degrees
below zero. He Is to marry Cora Beach
man, a school teacher, and the belle of
Lake Park, a suburb of Tacoma, says
the Globe-Democrat.
Miss Beachman, accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. P. M. Groe of Eatonville, set
out Tuesday with Carter, the most
trusted of all the mountain guides, to
ascend Mount Ranier. At Gibraltar
rock, which corresponds to the "shoul
der” of the Matterhorn, 4,000 feet from
the summit, Mrs. Groe became ex
hausted. Miss Beachman declared her
Intention to reach the Bummlt at all
hazards. Carter led the way, but soon
lost his ice ax, and In scaling difficult
passes they were compelled to rely
solely on their alpenstocks. They did
not reach the summit until 6 p. m., too
late to attempt the descent that night.
They had left Paradise Valley, below
the snow line, without wraps, and only
a lemon and one sandwich each in the
way of provisions. Carter selected a
sheltered ice cave formed by Jets of
steam from the crater, and there they
passed a sleepless night, discussing all
sorts of topics, and before they left the
summit, at 9 a. m. Wednesday, Miss
Beachman had promised to marry the
guide. The Instant they left the steam
of the Ice cave their clothes were frozen
stiff, and they suffered great hardships
in'descending. A rescue party organ
ized during the day, came to their re
lief late in the afternoon, after they had
been without food over twenty-four
hours.
Refuaed. Then Wu Bony.
The cable was crowded and when a
passenger boarded it he was nearly up
set by the sudden starting of the grip
car and tread on the toe of a man
standing at the rear end.
“I beg your pardon,” he said, very
politely; but the man of the hurt toe
scowled and in an undertone muttered
curses.
The Innocent offender again apolo
gized. "Tee, but that don’t help my toe
any;” and he growled some more in an
undertone.
Nearby passengers began to smile.
"I begged your pardon, didn’t I?”
said the other man.
“Yes, but my toes hurts just the
same,” was the reply in an ugly tone.
Then the other man’s dander rose
and in very forcible language he said:
“Now, look here. I accidentally stepped
on your foot and I apologised for it. If
you say another word about it I will;
give you this Instead of my foot (show- !
ing his doubled fist), and it will land
right in your face.”
This warning was not taken, for he
continued to talk about the clumi iness
of some people. Suddenly the passen
gers were electrified by seeing a fist
shoot out, and the growler lay in the
street as the car passed on. Nobody
I said anything, but some thought it
1 wasn’t wise to talk too much.
