TILDEN Dy John Blgelow. Two volumes. Cloth , $ C. Harper & Dros. , New York. From Me- gath Stationery company , Omaha. Mr. Tllden's public llfo spanned a larger portion of the history of our republic than that of any other eminent American states man , and he occupied the unique position In our history of being the only one selected by the nation for UB chief magistracy who was never clothed with Us responsibilities. Tha record of hla life Is , In these two volumes , presented by the one man pre-eminently qualified for the task the lifelong friend of the subject of this biography , who has had accss to Mr. Tll den's private correspondence , as well as the privilege of choosing , from the public papers which were placed In his hand's for this pur pose , those which he deemed of permanent Interest and value. Mr. Tllden always kept copies of everything he wrote , whether of a public or private nature. This habit has enabled Mr. Hlgelow to throw much light upon his early life , of which comparatively llttlo Is generally known , and without which many of the Incidents of his remarkable career are difficult of Interpretation. These volumes also contain an elaborate genealog ical record of the Tllden family , running back to the sixteenth century , which Mr. Tllden completed only a week or two before his death. It was the last effort of his pen. As one of his executors and trustees , Mr. Illge- low may be presumed to have overlooked nothing which the world Is Interested In knowing and remembering about one ot the most eminent of American statesmen. LOTOS-TIMK IN JAPAN Hy Henry T. Flnck. Cloth , ornamental. $1-75. Charles Scrlbner's Sons , New York. From Me- gcath Stationery company , Omaha. The account of a leisurely wandering through the Land of the Rising Sun during the midsummer season. Mr. Flnck Is an ac complished traveler , knowing good and evil , and he has evidently avoided the stupid or uninteresting places ( If there be such places In Japan ) , and tells the story of what he saw and heard with simplicity , allowing the Inci dents to exert their own charm upon the reader. He shows a disposition to linger over certain subjects longer than others , but , as a whole , his eensa of justice adds to the value of his narrative. He has strayed far away from beaten tracks , at times , and hl visit to the country of the aboriginal Alno.j , and his good luck In getting photographs' , have unusual Interest to the student ot be ginnings of things. A DAUGHTER OF THE SOIL By M. E. Francis. Cloth , ornamental , $1.25. Harper & Bros. , New York. From Megeath Station ery company , Omaha. The author has delicacy of touch , a keen eye for character , and excellent skill In por- trayol. Her story , although a somewhat sad one , acquires from her handling a wholly In dividual attractiveness an ! Interest , and her heroine's ultimate reconqucst of happiness ( through unswerving loyalty and simple faith ) la a theme that , often choien , pleases often. THE HELPFUL SCIENfE Hy St. George Mlvart.

Hats and cockroaches killed by millions with Steam's Electric Paste ; ZSe. THE FRAUDULENT CLAIM. > 4 OY IIOYVAUD KIlSLiDINQ , 9 ( Copyrighted , ISM. ) The exceptional cgnlract between Mr. Horace I'rcblc nnJ the detective bureau o ( the New York police allowed tint young man a month In every year when his tlnio was absolutely his own. He was then at liberty to rest from all labor , or to use his talents for his personal nilvantngo. This blessed period hail arrived , ntul 1'reble had bosun to taste anew ths Joys of Idleness , when ho received n summons promising so rich a nnaiicl.il row aril that ho could not afford to disregard It. Vice President Hsrsch of the European and North American Life Assurance society was Ilia man who desired Treble's services. He did not state the case In his note , but he Intimated that the society would not haggle about the question of remuneration. It will bo remembered , perhaps , that Pre- blo was In the detective business for money. Ho hated It from the bottom of his boots , and , as an abstract proposition , he would have declared death to be preferable. Hut ho had a false pride which would not permit him to ba drlten to the wall In the li.ittb of life , and the objectionable means of liveli hood had como to him when his back was very close to that wall. He hud as little appetite for the Investigation of an Insurance fraud as any man nlUe , but ho could be hired to do It. Men have written Immortal verse for the same lofty motive. Proble called upon Vice President Hersch Immediately upon receipt of hit , note. The olllclal received htm cordially , In n cozy olllco In the society's big building on Lower Droadway. There was a cheerful grate fire In the ofllce , and the two men drew their chairs before It , and proceeded to business. "This Is the case of a fraudulent claim , " said Mr. Ilersch. "Mrs. Albert Monell" he referred to some papers "has given the usual legal notice of her demand for $25,000 , the amount of her husband's policies In this company. " "Well , " said Preblo , "Isn't ho dead ? " "Oh , yes ; he's dead fast enough" "Did the woman murder him ? " "No , Indeed. " "Then , what's the matter ? " "Why , the man committed suicide. " "How do you know ? " "Now , that's business , " said Hcrsch , rub- blnR his hands. "That's the question I could have expected from you , Mr. Preble. How do I know ? Well , the fact Is , I don't know. 1 only suspect. It Is because I want to know , because the company viants to know , that I call upon you. " "It seems to me that I remember somo- UiInK about the case , " said Preble. "Died at his club , didn't ho ? Doctor said heart disease , I belle\e ? " "Yes ; that was the ostensible cause. " "What did the company's doctor say ? " "He suspected poison , but the rascal was so Infernally clever as to leave no trace of his work. I tell you that a grain of nconltU distributed through a man's system Is mighty hard to flrd. " "If you Know that lie used aconltla " "Wo don't ; but that poison would have produced the results. We shall allege Its use when the case comes to trial. " "Hut you don't dare to go Into court on the medical testimony alone , " said Preble. "Is that It ? " "That's It exactly. " "What else have you ? " "Wo believe that he Informed his partner in business that ho was going to do this , and that the man can bo Induced to testify. " "Extraordinary confession to make to a business associate. " "They bad been Intimate friends for many years , " said Hersch. "That could be pre sented to the Jury. " "The Jury , " said Preble , "would want something to back It. Kven a Juryman would know that a fellow who would rise up against the widow of his Intimate friend would He for what you'd be willing to pay. Hy the way , what would you bo willing to pay ? " "We are becoming very confidential , " said Hertcli. "Oh , that's ull right ! There arc no wit nesses. " Hcrsch glanced complacently at the closed doors of the little room. Then he said In n low voice : "From Jl.OOO to J5.000. according to the nature of his evidence. " Preble kicked the grate reflectively. "Who Is this rascal ? " he asked. "Tho partner ? " "Certainly. We've turned up only one other rascal In the case to far except my self. " "One other. " "Go on. What's his name and address ? " "John M. Laurence. His olllco Is In the Storrow building. They were working two or three patented devices a railroad signal was one of them , I believe. There was no money In It. They were on the verge of failure. " "So I Inferred from Monell's bulcldo. " "That's a point for the Jury , certainly. " Preblo looked Into the llro for a moment. He was wondering what sort of woman MH. Monell was , and what chance Mm would stand In the struggle for existence when so strong a man as himself had so nearly failed. "How did you find out that Lawrence was willing to to make a little money In this way ? " "I don't know that certainly , but It hap pens that the agent who got Monell into our company was an Intimate friend of both of thorn. He was with them on the evening when , as the agent thinks , Monell told his , partner what lie was going to do. Of course , our agent did not hear the dh- "Half what I save your company. " "Why didn't you have him down hero ? " "I prefer not to do that. It might be InJudicious - Judicious , as you can readily see. If any bargain U to be made with him somebody not connected with ui directly must do It. You see , I'm trusting you Implicitly. Thay told me at headquarters that I couldn't make any mistake in doing so. " "I'm R thoroughly honest man , " said Pre ble. "That's why I think so well of this particular job. " Herzch eyed him askance , but the expres slon of the detective's face reassured him. "It eems to me , " Prebla said , after a pause , "that your case [ a weak. Unless you have something better than this you'll lose It. " "There Is something better , If we can And It , " responded Ilersch. "On that night at the club Monell wrote a long letter to ! iU wife. " closure , but something was said before he left them Rhlch stuck In lila mind and ex cited his suspicion afterward. So ho went to Liwrenco and tried to get something out oi him. Lawrence would only hint ( it what he knew. " Preblo EiidJenly Eat up straight In ha ! chair. "Now. that' * tangible , " he said. "It looks like business. She was In the city at the time ? I tee. A man , except on tpeclal occasions , doesn't write long letttri to hla wlfs from the club , lit goes Inert to forget her , as a rule. " "If that letter could be fonnd" "Are you uro he wrote It ? " "We know that he wrote a long Utter , and a servant at the house where the Monell ! lived fays that the took It from a boy. Ilul xvo can't find the boy , and the servant 1s not positively certain about the night. Khe U willing to tettUy , but tlie'a to stupid that she couldn't stand cross-examination , oven It she was telling tlio truth , "Now , Mr. I'rcblc , you see- what I'm driv ing nt. That letter must bo found. It's ten to ono that tin told her all , nnd It's a hundred to one that she kept the letter. Women always preserve dangerous docu ments. And In this casa It contained her husband's la-t words to her. It's a thing sho'd never part with. " "And you want me to RO to her house nnd steal It , " said I'rchle , calmly. "Very well. What's It worth ? " "Whatever you think Is right. Mr Treble. " The detective rose nnd kicked his chair back from the ( Ire. "Half what 1 save your company , " ho said. "Without ( he letter you've no caie. With It you win , for there's no mortal iloubt what's In It. " "That's n Rood deal ot money $12,600. " "Good afternoon. " "Hold on , Mr. Treble : suppose we say $10,0007" " oed af" "Oh , very well ! Just as you ay. " "Put It In writing. " It was done with great reluctancs on the part of Hcrsch , who took the precaution to laboriously drum the contract out on tils typewriter and sign It In n dlsgul'ed hand. Preble pccketed the document. "That's all right , " ho said. "Now tell mo how many detectives you've already sent to the house. Hut never mind ; your whole staff has failed , or you'd never have offered nny such money as this. I'll RO up there , and on the way I'll oall on 1/iwrence. " Ho took Mrs. Monell's address and then left the room. John M. Lawrence , who was born In ' ( ! 9 and has grown oter 40 years old since that dnte , was Mttlng In his olllco reading. The subject of his perusal \\ns n notification from his bank that n note for nine hundred nnd oJd dollars would fall due In the very near future. If he was wondering why. when It had been possible to borrow so much money , ho had not borrowed moro and skipped with It , ho was certainly not the only man who had been gnawed by that form of remorso. "I represent the Buropean nnd nil the rest of It Insurance company , " said Treble when ho had closed the door behind him. "Wo are going to contest Mrs. Moncll'a claim , and wo want to llml out whether you'll go on the stand and tell what you know. " Lawrence Involuntarily clutched the notifi cation. Neither the gesture nor the nature of the document escaped Treble's eye. "And If BO , " Treble continued , "for how much ? " Lawrence was something of a business man himself , but he had not reached the Etago ot 'We are going to contest Mrs , Monell's clMm. " development when he could transact that kind of business so quickly. Desiring time to collect hiu thoughts , ho said : "You're an Impudent rascal. " Preblo laughed. "We're not children , " ho said. "Wo'ra business men. Do you want to pay that note , or do you want It to go to protest ? " Lawrence put the wrong end of a fresh cigar Into his mouth nnd tried to light the other. Naturally there was no draught. He laughed nervously. Then , checking ilmself suddenly , he exclaimed : "lly the Lord Harry , I like your way of going nt a thing. You don't waste much Ime , I'll swoar. Show mo your credentials. " Preble folded his contract backward and showed Lawrence Hersch's name on the end ot it. Of course that amounted to the same hlng , but Lawrence was not in a mood to > e too particular. Then there was a fencing match , In which mint after point was scored by Preble. Twenty minutes later ho had bought his nan for $1,200 , and had learned all he had 0 tell. Albert Monell had committed suicide. Ho lad confided In his partner , partly through 'rlendshtp , hut chiefly , as ho had confessed , iiecans he had foaicd that Lawrcnca would suspect , and It was better he should be under a pledge. The nature of that pledge L < ftv- ronco did not disclose , but Preble noticed that he shuddered when tha conversation Irlfted near It. The disclosure had been made at the time when the Insurance agent had supposed It to liave occurred. Monell had pointed out tltat Ills affairs had reached the brink of ruin ; that lie was utterly worn out ; that ho had neither lie strength to begin the trouble anew nor the heart to drag his wife down to the dull nlssry of squalor. "He loved the woman , " said Lawrence , "and , by the eternal heavens , she's worth. It. " "Let us stick to business , " rejoined Preble. Thus admonished , Lawrence related Ili9 story of his friend's last night In the land of the living. "As soon as I saw him , " he said , "I knew tint he'd made up his mind to do It , I saw him In the writing room. Ho was writing to her , and I'll tell you It took a better nerve even that his to keep a stiff upper lip whllo he did It. There's nothing particularly soft about mo , but I own that the sight of him gave me the shivers. I couldn't stand It ; nnd , by and by , when he had finished hla letter , I got hold ot him and tried to Jolly him out of his Idea. " 'My dear fellow , ' ho said , Tvo no moro Idea of killing myself than you have. ' "Of course ( hat was a bluff. Ho smiled pleasantly , and wont on Into the cafe. Thert wore several of his friends sluing by cno of the tables nnrt drinking. HL Jolrinl them , and HO did I. He cat there for an hour talking to all the follows In the nicest sort of wdy , making everybody feel good , you know. I. made up my mind that ho wai all right , till , all ef a sudden , I tumbled. I taw what he was up to. U was Km'Jliye ytltll him , and hvas giving every fellow a kind word to remember him. Kiom tha't tlmo. oil 1 was rattled. I expected every second tl see something happen , and I couldn't hava told you whether I was drinking champagne or cold tea , The first thing I knew for certain his eye ma < on me. and ho wart sayins someth'ng ' about friendship. It was n toast. I raised the glass to my llpn , but my hand Miook to that I choked myself with the wine. I coughed and turned away. Then there was n crash nnd a cry. I started up , and thtre was Albert lying beside his chair , with the others round. They said that h fell dead In an Instant , and that ho did not breathe after he touched the floor. " "And that's all you know about It , " eald Treble. "That's all. Isn't It enough ? " "It's hard'y ' worth the money. " Preble glanced at the billet doux from tin bank which the other still held In his hand. Lawrence swore a round oath. "Hive you got all this out of me , " ho de manded , "and now you're going luck ou your agreement ? " "Not at all. but I fhall want you to strengthen that story on the wltn sa stand. " "What do you want me to tay ? " Proble looked up at the celling for a mo * ment. Then he said : "Suppose 'we talk It over quietly In Grow * man's back room ? " ( To be concluded tomorrow. ) Children Cryfoi Pitcher's Caotorla. Children Cryfoi Pitcher's Castoria. Children Cryfoi Etcher's Castoria.
