[Copyright, 1894, by J. B. Llpplncott Company.]
“He’s some kin to t he old lady—t hey’re
all related hereabouts—and she's sent
for him to come, probably, after last
night's row.”
“But they're talking all over thecoyi
pony about Murphy’s .yam--about
there being some relative there —some
man—last night. You heard it when
he talked to the lieutenant.”
“Oh, yes,” answered Burns, evasively,
“I beard what he had to say, but Riggs
shut him up short as soon as he was
sober enough to know what Murphy
was saying. Wait till Riggs tells his
side of the story to the lieutenant. Then
perhaps we’ll know what brought Mr
Barton Potts over here.”
Lambert was up and at the door of his
tent in a minute. “Did you say that
Mr. Barton Potts was at the Walton
place now, sergeant?”
“Yes, sir,” answered Bums, whirling
about in the mud and promptly salut
ing.
“Then have some man let me know
when he comes out. I wish to speak
to him. And if Riggs is sober enough
now, send him here.”
Presently, looking moist, blear-eyed,
and dejected, the ex-trooper and ser
geant was marched up through the pat
tering rain, and, with the big drops
trickling down from the visor of his
old war-pattern forage cap, stood sul
lenly at tha tent of his young com
mander.. The guarding sentry, after the
fashion prevailing among some of the
regular infantry at the time, allowed
his rifle to topple forward from the
“carry” into the grasp of the left hand,
a foot or so in front of the right breast,
and with this well-intended effort at
the “rifle salute” of the ’60’s, Private
Mulligan reported—
“Prisoner Riggs, sorr; to spake to
the lieutenant.”
It was the first time Lambert hod con
ducted on investigation of tlhe kind, and
he had no precedent to guide him.
ttiggs, said lie, "Alurphy tells me
your goii|g to town last night was at
the instance of some relative of Mrs.
Walton's, who asked you to do them
a service. Was that true?”
“It was, sir.”
“Then he will doubtless be glad to
come forward and exonerate you, or at
least explain your conduct in the early
evening. Your later conduct only a
court-martial can properly consider.
Where is this gentleman?”
“I don’t know, sir.” _
“What is his name?”
“I—can’t tell, sir.” I
“You know it, do you not?”
“I suppose I do, sir, but—I can’t tell
it.”
“In the event of your trial he is the
ouly man who can help you, and the re
port I have to make of your miscon
duct is most serious. Drunkenness
only aggravates housebreaking and at
tempted robbery, as well as assault.”
“I broke; no houses, sir, and attempted
no robbery. As for assault, the i«dy her
self will say I meant no harm.”
“But your own comrade admits he
found you in the cellar entrance at the
foot of the steps, on premises yon were
forbidden to enter, to all appearances
stealing' wine, ana ne was striving to
get you away when the noise brought
Mrs. Walton, upon yen. The case Is
flagrant.”
Higgs threw his hands forward in a
despairing gesture, dropped them again
by his side, and stood silent.
“Do you mean you have nothing, to
pay for yourself?.—that you cannot dis
prove the charges?”
“I have plenty to say for myself, sir,
but nobody to say anything for me.
The worst anyone can ever prove of me
is that I’ve been, a drinking man. I’m
no thief; I’m no burglar; and I’d burn
me hand off before I’d lay it to hurt, a
woman, old or young. I never knew
what I was doing, if I grabbed the lady
by the throat. But I’d be a worse man
than tfie lieutenant thinks me if I’d
do what he esks.”
“This is nonsense, Biggs, What have
I asked you to do that would be either
criminal or wrong?”
“To defend myself at the expense of
a friend, sir,” said Higgs, with melo
dramatic gravity. “I’ll never betray
the man that’s trusted me.”
“Take him back to the guard tent,
sentry,” said Lambert, hardly know
ing whether to be amused or disgusted.
“The man isn’t sober yet.”
And then for the first time the young
officer became aware of the presence of
a horseman at the side of his tent. With
his hat brim puJJeddown over his eyes
and the rain dripping from bit and boot
and bridle rein, there sat his acquaint
ance of the owl ■ train—Mr. Barton
Potts.,
“One of your men said you wished to
see me, .lieutenant," said Mr. Potts,
with a courteous wave of his hand. “I
was coining nnyhow, but rode round
from the bahn yawnduh and came in
’long the branch. Excuse me if I’ve
stumbled on something I wasn’t ex
pected to hear.”
“Certainly, Mr. Potts. Can you dis
mount and come in? I much want to
talk with you.”
“And I want to have a talk with you,
lieutenant—ve’y pinch—and I’m com
ing for the purpose, but not just now.
There are some matters I must ’tend to
In town for my aunt, Mrs. VVulton, at
once. But let me add my thanks to
hers—and much more than hers—for
your prompt assistance Inst night. 1
know that man by sight. I’ve seen him
around here befoh, and it's Gawd's mer
cy' I wasn’t there last night. I’d ’a’
shot him dead.”
“You can be sure he shall not escape
justice,, Mr. Potits, though your aunt
seems to refuse to see me with regard to
the matter.”
“I’ll explain all that later, suh,” said
Potts, lowering his voice. “I’ve simply
got to go at once. But I’ll see you to
night; and meantime let me repeat
what I said. You shan’t lack for a,
friend round heah, suh. You treated
me like a gentleman when I was drunk
and possibly offensive—'though I hope
not, suh—and you’ve behaved like a
gentleman to ,my people, and by and by
they’ll see it. Just you wait. By the
bye, you remember Col. Scroggs?”
“I don’t think I do. Some of that

j A GERMAN "KINO OP TRAMPS.**
| Once t Valiant Soldier. He Became a
Hopeleae Wreck.
A few days ago there was buried in
Brooklyn, N. Y., the body of William
Heiser, alias "Jumbo,” 45 years of age.
lie 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 h«
tame 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 mads
his appearance in Brooklyn. It was at
the time when lodging houses were at
ached to the station houses. He was
.ver about the Bedford avenue station,
Meaning 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 Franco-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 reln^
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
sitting 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 burled
in the potter’s field.
THE MYSTIC THREE.
Something About the Time-Honored
Hnperetltlon for the ft amber.
I was reading an article the other
day on the superstitious regard tor 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 be twice loat and recovered, but
when lost the thind time is lost for
good. Twice a man may pass through
some great danger in safety, but the
.third time he loaes hia life. '■
If, however, the mystic third can be
successfully passed all la 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 mica
whose tails were cut off by the farm
er’s wife.
f have heard of three volume novels,
and know that most doctors order their
medicine to be taken thred times a day.
We eat three times a day* The Bible
speaks of a man being thrt'ce blessed.
The old saw—"If at first you don’t suc
ceed, try, .try agaJm”—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
AretemuB 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 thg trouble was. We saw a
burly fellow fearfully belaboring his
little mite of a wife, and I rustled In
to do the saving act. Well, that fellow
was a whopper. The table was set for
a meal, he evidently being some sort o‘<
a night-worker, and the ltest tfating 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 shouted; and as I turned
my banged-up head I saw him perched
on a chair on the cor ter, with bds watch
in his hand, enjoying the situation
hugely.
“The ruffian let me up and we twc
proceeded on our way. The next da;
after I had the pleasure of reading a
vivid account of the fight described bj
’rounds’ us Brown saw the scrap.”—'
