RESTITUTION AT LAST.
THE RESTORATION OF
FORTUNE BY THE
A STOLEN
THIEF.
A Ceremony That V Itelayed Iany
Yearn - Hardship of w I'ttioily ITiat
Hud Iteen Kukliril The ItitHcal Marrln
One of Hie I taugli I er.
Tin' truth of the old saying that fort
une favors those who wait has aain
ln-en illustrated in th raso of Lai Wiek
land, an old man (' j'ears of ai-, and an
einpluyo of tho Illinois Central railroad
at MeConiiell, koiikj fifty miles north of
.Milan, Tenn. The story reads like a
romance. There resided in the eity of
Alierdeen. Si'otland, seventeen years ;i;fo
a rieh a.'id piosperons jeweler, Mr. Lal
iatid W'ii-kham, a man of family, which
consisted of himself, his wife, three sons
and threo daughters.
The iiamo of the eldest fcon was John,
and lie was en.aed to a yoiin;' lady of
his native city by tho iiaim; of Crai, one
f the fun-most of the beau'. il'ul Si-otch
maidens of Aberleen. Tin ir niarri:ie
v:is only deferred on account of some
:i - Mie-s t ransacj i ns.
Oik; day Wickland burst into his wife's
loom, rreaily agitated, and e.cl.iimed:
'.Mary, we are ruined utterly ruined!
The shoji 1::ls been broken into and at
least t'l'.'.niXi worth of plate and jewelry
carried oil". I have been with the de
tectives through all the holes in the city,
"out we found no tract; of the thief or of
!ln? ioods. The det.-ctives think the
.foods will never lx; discovered, and we
ire ruined if it is so." When this rob
bery occurred John Wickland was in
London, and he read tho news in a Lon
don newspaper. He hurried home and
found the family in the greatest distress.
SINKING A NEW FOKTLNT'..
For many days the Wieklands indulged
t hemsi Ives in tho hope that some clew
would Ih; found to the robbers and their
precious wealth bo restored to then-.
These hopes were never realized. The
robbery, as tho police) said, had been
cleverly and cleanly done. No trace of
the perpetrators or any part of the prop
erty was ever discovered.
In the meantime Wickland had paid
ill his outstanding debts, and found
himself a pauper without a sixpence. H"
mi:;ht have urifed the robbery as a plea
for bankruptcy, but he was too conscien
tious ever to think of such a course, so
he paid his debts to the last penny. The
utter ruin which had overtaken the
Wieklands postponed the proposed union
between John and Miss C'rai, and Mr.
Wiclcland struggled on for a f-.-w years,
his son John assisting him all the while,
l)'.lt theV Ci
d not even make ;t livin-'.
It seemed that fate was against him.
About this time thousands of people
were leaving tho jl ! c i; : ie:- EurojH'
and heading for Americi. Mr. Wick
land caught the emigration fever and
longed to come to this country. He sold
all his personal effects, and securing
steerage passage for his family lauded in
New York. He had some money and it
went fast. He began to realize that he
must find something to do.
lie left New York and went to St.
Louis. When they arrived in that city,
some fifteen years ago, they had very
little left. The boys found employment
as hands on the railroad. In s:j they
came to Cairo, Ills., and the boys stayed
there, while the old gentleman secured a
position further south, at McConnell. as
track walker and keeper of the tanks in
that vicinity.
HAPl'INKSS AT LAST.
For years they have battled with difii
cuiiies. During all this time John and
Mis- Craig kept up correspondence until
in November, 1S!)0, Miss Craig was
agreeably surprised at the sudden and
unexpected appearance in his native city
"f John Wickland, who bore the joyful
intelligence that his family, their fortune
rest. red, would soon be iu their old home.
How was it?
This happy termination came out in
this wise: A man named Johnson located
hi .-lf at McConnell as a merchant,
running a plantation and supply store.
!Ii wealth in ready money was the talk
A the town. He sold goods rapidly and
made money hand over list. He took
gre.-'.t interest in the Wieklands and
si-emed to evince especial interest in the
facts relating to their robbery aud utter
ruin. It finally came out that Johnson
had been a prison bird and the cold
shoulder was turned to him by Lucy
Wickland, to whom he was paying at
tention. This seemed to nettle him, and
he sent for the old gentleman to come to
him.
Their interview lasted two hours. At
length Johnson confessed that it was he
who had rubbed Wickland of his wealth,
and coming to this country had trebled
his possessions. He gave the old man
i::s cht ck for ")0.(inO. So soon as this
h
ppeued the Wieklands decided to re
rn to th'-ir native laud. Wlien John
;; heard of their determination he in-t-'d
on paving their passage- back to

Winning Over a .1 ur ni:m.
It Is related of M. La haud, the most
f;.--:iuus of French criminal lawyers of
:',.( j resent century, that in pleading a
i-r ;; case he petvei ,-e 1 that one of the
j. S .eiued to be ho.-i lie to him and
iiis argument. In the faces of all the
other men in the bi.x he siw with his
practiced eyes signs that his oratory or
- shrewdness was having its effect, but
;i;is man, in spite of ail he could do. re
:iia:ned frowning, suspicious, obdurate.
M. L.ichaud kept on with his work, and
pn sently saw that his opportunity had
c- mie.
It was a hot day, and a ray of s-tnlight
h id penetrated a crevice of the curtain
and was shining upon the top of the head
of this juryman, who was quite bald.
The lawyer paused in his argument and
addressed himself directly to the court.
"If your honor would please." he said,
"to order that the curtain in yonder win
dow be lowered a. trifle I am sure that
the sixth juryman would appreciate it."
This sign of watchful attention won the
obstinate juryman's heart and M. Lac-hand's
case. San Francisco Argonaut.

Even the preachers are not averse to a
joke that lies in the line of the profes

the following in an east side church
lately when he was invited to speak: A

Two of the shade of a tree. "Why don't
you lie in th shad"?" he inquired. "I
