Retribution
Coogan opened the letter which
the letter carrier had Just handed
lilDi and produced a check which
made him smlln. The check was
made out for J2U0 and the nnme
signed to It, John T. Coolidge, was
a guarantee that the cheek was Rood
for that amount at any time.
It was very pleasant to receive a
check once a month from another
man Just because you happened to
know something about him which
would make It very unpleasant for
him If his wife and family heard
bout It. For this was really much
easier than Mr. Coogan's regular pro
fession, for he was a burglar, and.
occasionally, did not hesitate to hold
up a man at any time if he thought
he could get away. It was also far
Ies3 risky, for Mr. Coogan was a care
ful man. The state had once given
him free lodging for a considerable
length of time while he was younger
and less smart. He did not desire
the hospitality of the state again and
wt.8 therefore very much pleased
with the regular cheeks from his
friend. It occurred to him, however,
that he ought to get more money out
of Coolldge. Mr. Coogan had once
been rather extravagant. He loved
to dress well and live well, and oe
sldes he was an Inveterate poker
player and fully convinced of his own
ability to pick the winning horse on
any track. Mr. Coogan was no or
ilnary criminal. He had a certain
education and was known among the
people of the under world as "Gentle
man George." Now he sat and
imoked an excellent cigar and thlnk
ng of how much money It would he
possible for him to git out of Cool
dge. He had already succeeded
nce and his original demand had
seen for only one hundred dollars a
month. He had the man In his pow
?r, of that he was sure. Coolldge
vould no doubt pay money to any
imount. The question was how much
ae was able to pay. He was no nill
uonaire but quite well off. He had
1 good business and could surely
-land for more than two hundred
lollars.
Coolldge looked at Coogan with
-.n expression of hatred, fear and dls.
;ust as he entered his office. His
ace was by no means weak and most
eople would have hesitated to try
lack mail on him. Coogan had hes
ated himself, but not very long,
'bat was at the time when he didn't
:now the strength of his own posl
ion. "Good morning Mr, Coolldge,"
toogan, said cordially. "A beautiful
.ornlng, Isn't It? May 1 have your
ind attention for a few minutes?"
Coolldge sent his stenographer
way and turne around In his chair.
,ia knew very well what was coming.
"I regret to say, Mr. Coolldge that
-y expenses have Increased rather
armlngly of late. I don't want to
em immodest, but I think it w 'd
! a wise thing for you to raise jny
onthly salary to three hundred dol.
ra. If it wouldn't be an lnconven--ice
to you, I would appreciate It
you would make out a check now
r next month's, and besides give me
.other cheek for five hundred dol
rs which would come in very handy
? me."
Coolldge turned pale. He felt
:e catching the man by the throat
fd squeezing the life out of him,
- t he thought of the result and he
Jn't dare move.
"How Is this going to end, Coo
n? How long do you think I'm
'Ing to stand for this? I'm not a
h man and I cannot raise your sal
y as you call it a hundred dollars
nonth every xtlme you feel like it."
"Oh, I think you mp.v he able to
se it at least tnis time," Coogan
:lled. "Three hundred dollars a
ntn will not bre&k you. People In
ur position ought to have regular
ounts' set aside for this purpose,
a ought to provide for expenses of
mey to pay your rent and taxes,
te privilege of being rich and hav
j a good reputation is worth some-
;ng."
"1 will not allow you to ruin me,
t out of this office and do your
irst, you scoundrel.
"Certainly, my dear friend, I will
. that," Coogan replied calmly,
Iking toward the dor. "if i
ft have three hundred dollars a
jnth 1 shall rather have nothing at
1-ils hand was already on the lock
en Coolldge called him back. Cco
i sat down with a smile while his
tlm made out a check for three
idred and handed it to him.
Then there is still that little e.
. i amount of five hundred," Coogun
lspered.
'Joolldga made out another check
t gave it to tha man.
Good morning, Mr. Coolldge,"
gan said, almost amiably, and
t.
Coolldge did not reply, but when
i door had closed behind the
cltmaller he Bat for a few moments
ilcture of helpless despair. ., Then
opened a drawer of his desk and
k out a revolver. He looked Into
barrel and placed it
upl. Then he put it back into
. i drawer.
"No, I'm not as big a coward as
sr M mumbled.
Two weeks later James Flynn
own to the police ai "Red m.w
an," Invited Coogtu to take Dart
in a muni: e-rurs:on, uu
him very willing to do so. He had
nad had luck at poser and the right
horre had not won. Coogan wan
again In need of money. He didn't
want to go io Coolldge right away,
and was, therefore, ready for any
kind of a Job.
It was thus that it happened that
the two men crawled through a win
ucw Into a house which Flynn had
kept his eye on during the pruious
days. They went through the dining
room, where they exiffitned the sil
ver, but suddenly Flynn gave a low
whistle, which meant that he heard
somebody coming. ,
The two men stood perfectly still
for a moment and both heard some
body coming.
"1 don't want any shooting done,"
Flynn whispered a he ran through
the next room and Jumped out of
the window. Coogau had also made
a start, but in tin darkness he run
against a chair and dropped his re
volver. He was trying to find the
weapon when suddenly the electric
light was turned on and Coogan
looKed into the muzzle of anoiher
revolver. And behind the revolver
stood John T, Coolldge.
Coogan breathed easier for surely
Coolidge would not give him up to
the police.
"Well, Mr. Coolldge," he said jok
ingly, "I did not know that this was
your bouse, it is rather fortunate
for me, and perhaps you too, that It
happened to be yours. Otherwise 1
should probably have been sent up."
Coolldge smiled pleasantly.
"Sit down please," he said, and let
use lai.: matters over."
"There's nothing to talk over,"
Coogan replied; "you can't give me
up to the police, for if you do I
would tell them everything I know
about you."
Coolldge sat down opposite Coo
gan, still covering him with his revol.
ver. It was an entirely different
Coolldge from the man Coogan had
seen before.
No, I will not give you up to the
police," Coolldge replied; "that
might make It unpleasant for me, as
you ny, l will turn you over to a
different authority." '
"What do you mean?" (
' "A public undertaker."
Coogan turned pale, but Bhowed
ho sign of fear.
""So you are going to kill me. That
would be murder and you know un
pleasant things happen to murderers,
too, Bometlrues."
... Coolldge laughed.'
"Dd you really know as little as
that about our laws, Mr. Coogan?
Don t you know that every citizen
has a perrect right to shoot down a
man who breaks into his house. It
will take a Jury fifteen minutes at
the utmost to acquit me. ' '
"It would be a moral murder, even
If It would be according to the law,
and if you wouldn't be punished in
this world you would surely have to
suffer for it in the next."
I don't believe in Hell." Coolldge
said calmly. "You have caused me
to believe that Hell exists in this
life, and you made it exceedingly hot
tor me during the last year. In a
minute it will be all over and I will
once more be a free man. Are you
ready to die, Cocgan?"
Instead of replying Cooran made a
rush for Coolldge, who fired, and the
ourglar fell to the ground. Stooping
over him he tired three more bullets
Into the body. Then he went to the
telephone and called up the police
neaaquarters.
KflVct of Vegetables on Human Ituce.
The recent Pathological coneress
held In Paris has given us some cu
rious facts about vegetables and their
enect upon the human race. The
members of the congress after num
erous experiments, have agreed that.
although some vegetables are a pre
ventative against diseases of one sort
or another, there are many others
wnich have the opposite effect. They
declare, for instance, that Dotatoes
should be eaten by Judges, magis
trates, editors and those eneaeed in
similar occupations, because they de
velop the reasoning faculties and
give. great mental balance and calm
ness of reflection. Overindulgence,
however, produces apathy. Indiffer
ence, and laziness. Confirmed pota
to eaters are likely to possess more
reasoning powers than warmth of
heart.
Carrots are especially recommend
ed for curing bad tempers, besides
being good for bilious and peevish
folk, persistent eating of boiled
carrots will cure Jealousy, melan
choly, feelings of wrath and revenge,
In fact, the nature of the carrot eat
er, in course of time, will undergo
a complete change and make him
easygoing, good natured, and placidly
affectionate.
Spinach Is good for men of ac
tion. All great generals have de
voured it in large quantities It de
velops will power, decision, ambi
tion, energy, and It is the Ideal food
for tickle anu hestatlnj; people. A
proper diet of spinach will put an end
to dawdling in any household. Those
Who yearn for poetic thoughts and
artistic ideas should feed largely on
French beans. They create poets.
Sorrel, on the other aand, tends to
sadness and discouragement, and
those who persist in eating It be
come victims of the dream babit, or
nlghtmareg and delusions. 'ilt-Blts.
Why, Of Course.

A writer who has a turn for re
search and who is a closo observer
of modern progress in mechanics has
enumerated and described some of the
many electrical devices which' have
been Invented recently and which
have gone far toward making life, In
Its lesser details, more easy for hu
manity. '
A large business has recently grown
up In improved forms of incandescent
lamps, which, while giving light at
greatly enhanced efficiency, consume
less current than the older types. 1
An electrical ash sifter has been de
signed to save the leak in coal and
cinders thrown out with the ashes in
household practice. The machine is
simply constructed, being built on the
revolving screen principle. Into the
hopper of the outfit the ashes are
dumped.'
The cinders fall Into a bin and a can
receives the waste. It is estimated
that in an ordinary household from
a ton to a ton and a half of coal can
be thus recovered from the ashes In
a year.
While recent progress in radio-tele
phony the transmission of telephone
talk without wires has been com
paratively slow, there Is promise oi
steady development in some recent
tests in Europe.
The French navy authorities have
reported very satisfactory results in
talking from the Eiffel tower in Paris
to Dieppe, 93 miles.
The apparatus used for this pur
pose is being continually simplified,
and it bids fair soon to be applicable
to a large number of vessels which
cannot afford to carry & Morse opera
tor, and whose necessity of wireless
telephone conversation will be met by
a system effective up to 100 miles.
Electric cooking, hitherto more or
less of a luxury, is being brought by
improved apparatus and reduction in
the price of current within the reach
of the ordinary householder.
One of these writes enthusiastical
ly of the results by the employment in
his own kitchen of an electric oven, a
grill, r.n egg poacher, a toaster, and
a G 1-4-inch hot plate.
The coi.'t of the current used In run
ning the whole of the outfit for eight
days was $8.32, or $1.04 per day; or
18 cents per day, or 2 cents per hour,
for each grill, boiling plate and oven
in use.
The flavor of meat electrically cook
ed is said to excel that of meat treat
ed by any other method.
For the caterpillar plague which is
having such a disastrous, effect on
many of the forests of this country, a
remedy is suggested by the action of
tho municipal authorities of a German
town. The brown nun moths had been
ravaging the trees of the valley in
which the town is situated, and many
of the densely planted sections wera
threatened with destruction.
An electric light trap was construct
ed. Lights of high power were fixed
in position, and behind them, put over
a deep receptacle and large exhaust
fans, were two powerful reflectors.
The whole was Installed on the top
of the municipal electric plant build
ing.' At night two great streams of light
are thrown from the reflectors on the
woods on the sides of the mountain
half a mile away. The moths, drawn
by the shining radiance, come flutter
ing In myriads along the broad lanes
of light
As they reach the reflectors they
are caught by the swirl of the ex
haust fans and carried down on the
grip of the current of air to the recep
tacle below. It Is said, that on. the
first night the trap waa put in opera
tion three tons of moths were caught.
The latest thing In a man's dress
ing kit is the electrio razor. The sta
tionary part of this device Is simply
an ordinary safety razor, consisting
of a handle-, a blade, and a blade bold
er.' attached directly to , the " spiral
shaft of a vibrator. Running up the
handle of the razor la a rotary eccen
'tic, which twists the blade around at
T desired speed.

ritiHINO IN JAPAN.
Japanese Rods Lighter Than Ours, but
the Hooks Have No Barbs.
Three of us, two Americans and ono
Japanese, started out In Jinriklshas
from Talpeh, the modern capital of
Formosa, or Taiwan, to go to tl.-
house of a wealthy gentleman aboui
el.iht miles up the river, which runs
through the valley of Talpeh, says
Fore it and Stream. Tho way led
through a beautiful and ferlllo coun-'
try, the valley covered with Hocond
crop of rice and the hills with tho
famous Formosnn tea shrubs. After
luncheon and after photographing
some hi-ad-hunting Bavagos we found
there, we proceeded to fish for salmon
trout, at an altitude less than 250 feet
above sea level and in latitude about
24 degrees, 40 minutes north, practi
cally In the tropics. The temperature
of thestrcam was about 70 or higher,
and the water was well aerated. This
ttroam. from CO to 100 yards wide, is
clear and full of npids nnd riffles. Wo
used Japanese tackle horse hair linn
and horse hair leader (the latter con
sisting of one strand only), a ' Million
rod and a most delicate palmer iled
on a small barbies ; hook. The roil Is
decidedly good, and weight for weight
is stronger and better castor than our
Jointed rod. It rarely weigh over
four ounces mine weighed about two
but the line is practically worthies
for casting, as wo understand the
term. The fly Is perfect, but the hook
lacks strength, and the fish when
hooked may ea?lly detach himself In
a current or an eddy, or by fouling
the lino. We all know how It Is done
from our experience with pin and hook
and thread In the brooks at home.
The Japanese, however, have an
other method of fishing, which may
he as new to some of our readers as it
was to me. It Is quite successful.
They catch one fish In any way they
can, and then fasten the line securely
through Its upper Jaw, passing it
through the roof of the mouth and out
at the ton' of the upper Jaw, well in
front of the eyes, and then attach
through the body of the fish, not far In
front of the tall, a horse hair, to which
la tied a three-pronged barbless hook,
which trails In line with the fish and a
few Inches behind while it Is slowly
worked up the stream by the fisher
man. The theory Is that other fishei,
seeing the captive moving along as
though feeding, or perhaps spawning,
will pursue it, and become Impaled on
the books. In point of fact this does
happen, as I saw a Chinaman take two
fine trout in this manner.
Our success with flie3 was poor. We
got thirteen or fourteen flngelings
but we saw the fish we wished to Iden
lfy caught in fairly good numbers by
the Chinese, fishing with decoys.
Doubtless with large flies and better
tackle than we had, we might have
had fine sport. It seenu unusual to
find a member of the salmonidae fam
ily so near the sea level in such alti
tudes. The fish is the plecoglossus al
tlvells. It has no spot, but Iridescent
llnej along Its sides, parallel to the
long axle. It has also the adipose
dorsal fin. The snout of the male at
this season overlays and turns down
ward somewhat, as does the snout of
the male Chinook salmon late in the
season. The plecaglossus weighs from
one and a quarter to two pounds, is
vigorous and shy, and as dainty a fish
for the table as any that may be
found. After a few hours' fishing, we
descended the river In a rather clumsy
fiat-bottomed boat, racing down the
rapids and sculling through the
smooth places, until we found our
rickshaws, and then home. All along
the smooth water about dusk we saw
the plecoglossus leaping after flies.
Big Noses Rare In Japan.
In Japan the nose Is the only feature
which attracts attention. The nose de
termines the beauty or ugliness of the
face, according as it is big or small.
This Is probably due to the fact that
difference in noses constitutes about
the only distinction between one Jap
anese fara and another. The eyes are
Invnriably black the cheek bones
tvih mid the chin receding. In Japan
n woman who has a huge proboscis is
always a great beauty and a reigning

A Zulu Girl's Headdress.
Of the many strange methods of

haps that of the Zulu girl shown in

It Is a mark of approaching mar
riage, which carries with it perhaps
more dignity than grace. The still

THE RUSSIAN POLICE
The Powerful Instrument by Which
Autocracy Rules.
The Russian pollco Is a rather com
plicated army with its generals, offi
cers, ctnt-major, soldiers and spies.
At the head of this powerful Institu
tion stands the Minister of the Inter
ior, or Home Secretary. The police
regulations practically form his Bole
occupation, and nil questions relative
to the Internal government nnd wel
fare of the country, such for Instance
ns social hygiene, rural economy, Jus
tice, position of the peasantry, etc.,
only In so far concern the Minister of
the Interior ns thoy nre more or less
closely related to the movement of
Liberalism and the emancipation of
tho people. In special cases, when the
maintenance of order becomes Impera
tive, the Mlnititer Is Invested with un
limited power.
The general ns well ns the political
r.nd secret police nre under IiIr orders,
governors nnd even general governors
are his subordinates, and he poises
res the undisputed light to dismiss
any police olllcer, even the highest.
Informing only the imperial Govern
ment of the step taken through tho
council of Ministers. The heads of
the provincial nnd district police are
the governors and general governors,
the ispravnlks and tholr aslstants. At
tho head of tho town police stand tho
police master nnd his assistant or ad
jutant. The Minister of tho Interior
is alHo virtually the hend of the poli
tical police, which has a police depart
ment with the safety and secret police
sections nnd a corps of gendarmes at
Its disposal. The police department
attached to the Ministry of the Inter
ior, and to which all the lower police
nro subordinate, extends its active du
ties over the following fields:
Prevention and detection of crime
nnd criminals.
The watching of the frontiers of the
empire.
Supervision of and issue of pass
ports. Emigration.
Supervision of drinking establish
ments. Measures preventing Are.
Statutes regulating the establish
ment of various societies and permis
sion to hold exhibitions and to give
public entertainments.
The government of Russia Is based
upon its police. Now western Eu
rope has long ago broken the chains
of autocratic and absolute govern
ment Social and Individual power
lessness, to which the Jealousy of
absolutist rulers had condemned their
subjects, has gradually disappeared
or is beginning to disappear. Not so
in Russia. Here police and society
represent two hostile camps engaged
in a continuous war against one an
other, and the former, far from being
the servant of the latter, is practically
its master. Society is always being
suspected- by the police department
and Its officials. Suspected of what?
Suspected of gradually awakening to
political consciousness, of gaining the
conviction that a radical change from
the political and economic points of
view la absolutely necessary for the
welfare of the country; but the Gov-
eminent, convulsively clinging to the
status quo, is deperately fighting
against society, crushing all the lat
ter's attempts to gain political liberty.
ARMY MULES OBEY ORDERS.
Success In Handling the Animals Con
sists In Knowing How.
Horse nnd mule men at the Kansas
City stock yards stood in admiration
on a recent afternoon while the sol
diers of Battery A and B. Second
United States Artillery, under Lieut
It. O. Mason, loaded thirteen cars of
mules in twenty-flve minutes. It was
a new record on the loading docks,
end it wasn't accomplished by any
unusual methods either. Nor was the
mulo driver's vocabulary resorted to.
How did they do it? The lieutenant
simply called the roll and the mules
responded to their names.
"Nigger." called an officer, and a
little black gun mule ambled up.
"Now, Mollle, you're next; now Cy
clone," and Cyclone came like a cy
clone. If a mule was refractory a few men
ia khaki took hold of him and pushed
ar.d shoved him Into place.
"No wonder," said an envious mule
driver, 4'they know their mules; they
couldn't do them all that way."
"That so?" said a noncommissioned
officer. "I guess we could. It's all In
knowing how. You never want to
flinch around a mule. Never look
back when you leave hlra. After you
know how mules are easier to handle
than horses."
