Merilo. who was near at hand, was even than the diamond solitaires that adorned her ears. The detective's heart was throbbing wildly. He could scarcely contain : himself. It was a case of love at first sight. The hot blood of the Italian j was surging to his head. He was quite bewildered. Collecting his scattered senses he was scon able to convince the young 1 woman that he was a man of conse qumcc. and that while their meeting was but casual, he was greatly de lighted because of the opportunity of fered to make her acquaintance. It was late in the evening when they bade each other good night with a promise to meet again on the arrival of the steamer at Fall River in the early morning. Mcrito had not only discovered that1 Miss Brownie was lovely and fas cinating. but that she was frank, con fiding and truthful. She had nothing home and fled to Canada, where she1 waa expecting to meet him. Learning thia, the detective was deeply interested, not only in the brother, but in the sister as well. In deed, she was the most attractive per son he had ever before met. To his mind she was everything that a woman should be. Wealthy, educated and af fectionate, she was brave and roman tic enough to venture out alone and battle the cold world for the purpose of redeeming her wayward brother. So gentle and unassuming did she ap ; pear that he was sure she had a heart overflowing with love. As these thoughts came meandering through his brain he saw in his eager ness the opportunity of his life. He would somehow be instrumental in ! saving the brother and thus win the fair girl's gratitude—perhaps her love. He felt sure that he could trust to her generous heart to forgive him for de ; eeivir.g her by palming himself off as i the son of a nobleman. When the couple arrived In Boston S they went at once to the United States ' hotel, where they took breakfast to I gether. The detective now thought Miss Brownie more fascinating than ever and at the first opportunity he threw discretion to the winds and be gan wooing in the most approved Italian style. Pressing his suit with an ardor more impetuous than con ventional, he begged her to become his wife. It appears that her deep sorrow, her soft words, and above all, her tears, had quite bewildered him.

As she held the tickets between her Jeweled fingers she beamed a smile red displayed a set of pearly white t« th. encircled by a pair of ruby lips, aai oh. r ich eyes* 5'ure sparkling to conceal He bad learned every thing. She was a young and sensitive maiden who bad courageously ven 'ured from her father's home with the purpose of meeting a much loved but wayward brother. How, then, tould he help sympathizing with her? Even though his representations In regard to himself were falsely made for the purpose of obtaining her con fidence. he believed be was sufficiently shrewd to square himself with her at the proper time. As deception Is ofttiroes a part of the detective's stock In trade, he thought there could be no great harm in it after all was understood. It seems ihat he told her the secret of his being the son of an Italian noble man of great wealth and that he was traveling incog to gratify his curiosity. While the story he told was wholly false, he was quite good looking enough and sufficiently genteel in ap pearance to bear out the statement. From what occurred it was apparent that the young woman herself was somewhat impressed and quite uncer tain as to the true status of the de tective. Her story as told to Merlto appeared straightforward and truthful. Her mother was dead. Her father, al though in the enjoyment of a large in come. the result of frugality and well appliel business transactions, was bowed down with grief and very much broken In health because of the way ward course of her darling brother. He had been led astray by evil asso ciates and was being pursued by the government officers, who charged him with dealing in counterfeit money. To cv-id" arrest he had forsaken his rendered unconditionally. In impas sioned terms he declared bis love and offered her his heart and hand. The young woman, although seem ingly overcome, was altogether too modest to accept. Somewhat taken back by this premature declaration, she was sufficiently self-poised to as sure him that he was pleasing to her and that she deeply appreciated his attention. But she could not take any decisive step In so important a mat ter without first consulting her father. She felt that It was her first duty to save her brother. To accomplish this she was ready to sacrifice life itself. Merito. never at a loss for a sub terfuge. proposed to interest himself and secure a condonement of her brother's offense through the assist ance of the Italian consul at New York. This ray of l'ght was present ed in fine Italian style and must have sounded hopeful to the ears of Miss Brownie. Her face now fairly beamed with joy as she assured him she would willingly give all she possessed in the world to effect such a result. She promised to marry him should he succeed in saving her brother from prosecution for his past offenses. The day following this I received at my New York office a letter marked "personal," which read as follows: "United States Hotel. Boston Mass “My Dear Chief: “I write to inform you that I ar rived here this morning in company with th« sister of Brownie. Through cunnltir; 1 made her acquaintance and learned everything. She In'm the way to me. t Vr brother Thomas.

If you will send me special authority and a guarantee that he will not be arrested I will go with his sister and coax him to mme to New York. Please forward the pa pers to me here at once. "Yours respectfully, “LOUIS MBRITO “ The case was an Important one and requirej my personal attention. If a compromise could be made that would result in the conviction of Ruch men as Miner, I was anxious to mak'' it. I chose to superintend It myself, and the next train that left for Bos ion took me with It. When I arrived there on the following morning I went directly to the United Stales hotel, where I met a thoroughly astonished Italian. He was much surprised at my unexpected appearance. I soon learned enough to place me in possession of the fads In the case so far as the detective was concerned. I then demanded a personal interview with Miss Brownie, winch was soon arranged. After Introducing me to the lady, Merlto retired from the room, as had been previously agreed upon. I found myself in the prest nee of a tall and stately young woman, tastefully and fashionably dressed. She held in her hand a targe fan which she wielded with consummate grace. I found her fully posted on the nature of my business. Inviting me to be seated, she began the conversation and explained to me her proposed trip to Montreal, where she hoped to meet her brother, Thomas Brownie. She had learned through a friend that her brother was anxious to quit counterfeiting and that he could, if given an opportunity, put the govern ment officers in a position to arrest a number of leading counterfeiters. She did not kpow the particulars, but was sure that her brother would. If per mitted to return to New York, render the government Important service, ^he said that her father had nearly •:st his mind on account of the action f his son and that he was ready to ndergo almost any sacrifice and pay ny reasonable sum of money for the trpose of saving his boy. What she said was quite reasonable, id after questioning her for some e I had about come to the conclu ■n that her offer, jf carried out as '-mised, would be a good thing for the government. There were a number of counter feits then on the market and I was exceedingly anxious to break up the gang by arresting Its leaders and se curing the plates. The Miner gang had first and last cost the government a considerable sum of money. While talking over the details of the pro posed surrender I stepped to a win dow and raised the sl\ade. upon which the sun suddenly shone forth, lighting up the room and casting its bright rays fully upon the face of the lady before me. Drawing my chair a little nearer and more In front of her I was enabled to look her straight in the face. My eyes resting on hers seemed to disconcert her. She blinked and turned her head. I straightened up a little and stared at her. She started to rise. •■Keep your seat.” I commanded, in an authoritative tone. At this moment I saw defiance mingled with terror in her eyes. At first I had noticed nothing In her ap pearance or actions to create suspi cion. As was quite natural, she now seemed excited. This might have been attributed to a disturbed condi tion of her mind on account of the actions of her brother—a natural se quence under the circumstances. She again turned towards me and the sun shone upon ber face. I at once de- ' tected the work of an artist skilled In •he use of shades of paint. I noticed, j too, that her hair had not the glossy appearance of natural growth. I was ; quite sure she was in disguise. “Before this business goes any fur ther.” I said, "I want you to remove your false hair and wipe the paint and powder from your face.” As I arose in front of her she start- | ed up with an Indignant glare and at- I tempted to push me away. In a flash 1 I reached for her chignon. Giving it a quick jerk, its fastenings gave way and It rolled on the carpet. There was no longer any use for conceal ment. Thomas Brownie stood before me. The game was up. There was no more room for dodging. He began peeling off layer after layer of his feminine apparel. When he had fully disengaged himself from his dress maker's outfit he opened his traveling bag and proceeded to clothe himself In masculine attire. Merito, who had during this inter view remained in the hall, was now requested to come into the room. I handed him a pair of handcuffs and Brownie immediately put up his hands to receive them. He was completely done for and offered no further re sistance. In taking the trip on the steamer ‘Providence" and playing the part of a fascinating woman, it was not sur- j prising that Brownie was able to dupe the detective. As a gifted imper- j sonator he could reproduce to a nicety : the tones and modulations of the de- ■ teetive's voice. His description and imitation of the impassioned love scene that took place between himself and Merito was very entertaining. Brownie was too crafty and gifted a criminal to run at large. He was put on trial, convicted and sentenced to the Albany penitentiary for a term of fifteen years. Merito was so chagrined and over come on account of his escapade with Brownie that he lost his assurance and was unable to face his fellow of ficers. The last I j'.eard of him he was on the Pacific coast Swiss “Guardian Schools99 _ M Br - -t[ tM D>*cwH Problem of Caring for the Cfi Sre* of the Street. ’ *4 eeartrrt of every • orfcics peop!- live nacy mH ehlMrea to ran the etreet* !n the lar etner Uke Ijmiom Part* and Ter*. t*ey «* «*7 U**r la tkr rtljr wkrre are are aOceed sand* With such surroundings and «d«« sorb conditions it is not strange that a large percentage of them become criminals.

In the city of Basel. j far instance, ‘guardian schools." or-. ganized and supported by the state, are oj>en every day. and from the mid dle of November till the middle of March, every evening. They can hard ly be called schools, but rather recre ation classes. I'nder the teacher’s direction the children play games, tell stories, sing, crochet, embroider, sew and so forth. In good weather they are taken out doors for games or walks. Each class has about thirty-five children In It. just enough for the teacher or guard ian to handle comfortably. An inspec tor visits the classes frequently and makes reports to the school authori ties. The state provides all the mate rials for the games and work, and also pays for the lunches. Basel has a population of 130,000. and last year 2.000 children were taken care of In these guardian schools. In addition to this work Basel has an organization known as the Play association, which looks after the games for young people. There Is also another society, now 25 years old, whose special business it Is to give instruction to and provide recre ation for boys on Sundays and in the evenings. Last year it had 24.000 children under its care.

As neighbors tame in to say goodhy and things were brought from the house and loaded on the cart, the dog's excitement increased and was not allayed until after the last neigh bor had shaken hands and the entire party had passed through the side gate and down the street. Then he stopped barking and took his accus tomed place under the cart. The route of the walk Is from Kan sas City to a point in Texas on the coast, east to Jacksonville. Fla., north to the Canada line, west to Minneap olis and thence back to Kansas City. The winter will be 6pent in the 30utn and the summer in the north, so that they will suffer no inconvenience from sleeping on the ground during the en tire year. They expect to return to Kansas City November 1, 1912.

"We expect both to stand it and enjoy it.” QUEER VERDICT OF JURIES — Some Are a Puzzle and Difficult to Solve. While Many are Exceed ingly Amusing. Chicago.—"Here is a funny thing about the relative value of a man's right and left leg." said a Chicago lawyer. “Not long ago I was called upon to conduct the case of a man who had lost his left leg in a railroad accident. He was laid up in the hos pital for several weeks. While there the utter uselessness of his right hand caused much comment among the doctors and nurses. Other left-handed patients they had met with able at least to fight files, but my client's r*ght hand v asn’t oven fit for that The ease came to trial. aM fb« jury awarded him damages $500 in excess of what he had asked for. be- . cause, said the foreman, 'be is left handed.' “The next day I stumbled on my man in a restaurant and found him stoking up with his right hand. “ That is all right.’ said he. ‘It isn't a new accomplishment. I could do it all the time. Can use one hand as well as the other, always could, hut after I lost my left leg I concluded to let my right hand take a vacation. You see. 1 know the ways of juries. I cannot follow their reasoning, but I have studied thler verdicts, and I have discovered that while the right leg is considered of more value to the aver age o'an than his left leg. the left leg fetches a boom price if it belongs to a left-handed man. I cannot see the connection, but juries can. You heard what the jury of mine said? Well, they always reason that way.' “ Fortunes for Play Writers. New t ork.—The annals of the stage record the quick rise to wealth of many authors whose contributions to stage literature have earned for them huge sums of money. Augustus Thomas is credited with being worth <300,000: George Broadhurst is rated at $225,000; Eugene Walter boasts an Income of $2,000 a week by reason of his two successes, The Easiest Way and Paid in Full. Yet these sums fade Into insignifi cance when compared with the wealth of Charles Klein, who derived from "The I don and the Mouse" one season jalone $150,000 as his share of royalty. This play has netted him nearly $5»0. .000. "The Music Master," of which he is also the author, was worth a for tune to him. For the ten weeks' en gagement of this play at the Academy of Music, New York, Klein received as his share $19,000. At one time his Income touched $5,000 a week. Over 10,000 plays are written year ly. it is said, and only two per cent of them are ever produced.
