rROM WAIX STREET TO NEWGATE
VIA THK PRIMROSE WAY. By Aus
tin M. Bldwell, 600 page, 40 full page
llustratlons.
Rarely doca a journalist have a book
to review so striking; an this one. It
ta the story of a wrecked life, wrecked
when Its bark had scarcely more than
entered the stream, wrecked with
every circumstance of terror and dis
aster which seemed to declare that the
wreck was total and hopeless, and yet
In spite of every obstacle, the wreck
has been raised and is once more
bravely facing the billows.
Few men ever started in life with
brighter prospects than Austin Bldwell,
and yet before he was 25 years old he
was flung into a prison cell that his
life might rot away under a sentence
of perpetual Imprisonment for a fraud
on the bank of England. Terrible was
the penalty exacted from him for his
in. Few men forgive Injuries. With
pitiless fury did those he injured ex
act the very last stroke of retribution,
At last it was over. Ho came back
with whitened hair, but strong and full
01 nign resolve, determined to show
young men the pitfalls opened before
them, and to press upon them as no
professed teacher ever could the truth
which the young are apt to mock but
which the older among us know to
be so true, that in the world of wrong
doing success in failure. The book is
written in a style and with a nerve
which keeps the reader in breathless
interest throughout. The followine ex
tracts will give an idea of the author's
style and sentiments:
Today there Is not n criminal but who
at the start, looked forward to the time
wnen ne would no KnKer war against go

Peace with all men. But, when one comes
to think of It, what a fool's game is that
of a man who fights against society. The
criminal has but two arms, very short and
weak they are, and of flesh, too. He has
but two eyes that cannot possibly see
around the nearest corner, while society
has a million arms of steel that can reach
round the world, and a million ey;s
which are never closed, that can pierce
th thickest Hloom with sleenless vlail-
ancj. The poor, unhappy criminal by for
tunate aexienty may escape tor a little,
but at last society lays her Iron grasp
on him. and with giant force hurls him
into a dungeon.

After swapping stories for two hours with

In his honor. He uncurled himself, with
a sigh, from the depths of his chair and
remarked:
"Now I must go up and shake hands
with a lot of women I never saw before,

Works of Hall Calne. It Is said that 'he has

fact appears to be that the story about

queerest of all was what looked like a

there a few days when all the live stock
on the place, from chickens up, would

well.
"It was then proposed that he be sent
down to Kentucky to end his days In
luxurious ease on the farm. When Mr,
Field reached the farm a year later he
was curious to know If Don would remem

. was driven up toward the house, as he
never came of his own accord. Mr. Held
went to him and called 'Poor old Don,'
but Don had evidently forgotten him and
slowly turned and sauntered back to the
woods. About half an hour 'later we were
all startled by hearing Don's musical voice
loudly calling right back of the house,
something he was never known to do be

free will. Whether he had brains enough
to remember the voice of Tils old friend we
will never know, but the fact remains
ever after that time, day or night. If Mr.
Field would step out on the gallery and
call 'Poor old Don,' no matter where Don
was we would soon hear the old familiar
answer." ....
Some one on a Chicago paper saw Gil
bert Parker when he was lately In that
city and the following Is a part of the re

Mr. Parker, "I was In Quebec and was
asked to read a portion of 'Valmond' to
the assembled company. I read two chap
ters, and Judge Kouthler, who had never
Been the book before, drew me aside and
said: 'This is very wonderful, Mr. Park
er. A few years ago a man lay dying In
an insane-asylum in Quebec. He had the
fuce of Napoleon, was a weird creature,
all moods and fantasies. When I went
to speak to him, calling him by whnt was
said to be his name, he drew back and
said with a haughty gesture, 'Bay your
majesty.' Well, the hallucination Of
royalty Is common enough among lunat
ics, they say, hut the man babbled a story
strangely like yours. He said he was the
son of a countess who had escaped to St.
Helena and to Napoleon. That he Was the
son of Napoleon, even as he looked. That
he had come here with money and had
tried to rally the 'people about hlml' Now,
what do you think of that?" "As for my
self, I don't understand. I cannot under

know that the theme clove closely to me,

the phrase was happy, since. It added, 'It

GOOD SHORT STORIES.
A Story of Major McKlnley.
In February. 1885. the Ohio Loyal le
glon held its annual banquet at the Bur
net House. Cincinnati. The late Presi
dent Hayes presided. On his Immediate
left sat General samuei rauows, a
Chicago bishop. I sat next to the
hlHhnn. When General Fallows had re
sponded to a toast he was called to the
other end of the hall. During his ab
sence I slipped into his seat and asked
Mr. Hayes for his autograph. Just as
it was written a tall, commanding,
handsome, youngish man rose to make
a suggestion. .
"Did you notice that companion v
asked Mr. Hayes.
"Ye, sir, particularly. '
"Do you know him?"
"No, sir."
"Keep him In mind. Some of these
days you will learn a great deal about
him."
Just then General Fallows returned
and resumed his seat, and for half an
hour I watched the gentleman I was to
"hear a groat deal about some of these
days." The more I watched the better
I liked the face and the man's general
bearing. My curiosity was aroused
Stepping to the ex-presldent's side,
while the orchestra was playing, I
asked:
"Who Is that companion I am to hear
so mucn about?"
"That Is Major . and If his life Is
snared he will be one of my successors
as president of the United state."
The next day I was a passenger on the
same train ' with the major, until a
brakeman called a junction and said:
"Change cars for Canton," and several
other towns. Then the major left the
car.
I thought of the ex-presldent's proph
ecy with a heartache, a few years ago,
when a certain candidate .for congress
was defeated In a gerrymandered Ohio
district. A year later the ache was
gone when the .defeated candidate was
elected to a state ofllce. and two veara
afterward re-elected. - ;
The nation seems to be "keenlnit him
In mind" and has "learned much about
him." I wonder If Rutherford B. Hayes
fixed upon 1896 as the vear imnn whlnh
the major would be elected as one of his
successors as president of the United
States. A great many others seem to
have done so.

A Resairiieeanee of Fa gene Field. .
They tell a story of Field In Kansas
City which shows the quickness of his
invention and the earnest kindness of
his heart.' He was going to his room
about 3 one mornlng.Just after the paper
was "up," On the other side of the
street his attention was called to a row.
A sturdy policeman had captured two
heavily loaded printers and despite their
maudlin expostulations was dragging
them to the bast lie. . Field's kind heart
bled for the poor printers. They were
on his paper, too.
An Idea seised him. His room was
near at hand, and he hurriedly climbed
the stairs to the third story, which he
inhabited, and standing near the open
window he shrieked:
"Murder! murder! help! help!" and
all In a shrill falsetto voice.
The policeman in charge of the un
happy printers stopped Irresolute. Very
evidently a woman was being mur
dered. Should he go to her rescue, or
should he hang on to his drunken print
ers. It took only a moment to decide.
He cast the two followers of Benjamin
Franklin from him and flew swiftly to
the rescue. By the time he had climbed
the stairs to Field's floor, that humorist
was in bed andapparently sound asleep.

the fact that after the first act of "The
