The demand for haul coal Is holding
up well; shipment fiom the collieries

At the head of Lake Supeilor cnni
p.natlvely little haul coal has been le

ported veiy small, so that dealers will
Jiot pell for flltillo dellveiy. In Chicago
terrltoiy the weather has been alto.
Kcther too hot for sni.cll huyers to
trouble themselves about coal supplies.
Dealers, however, ale anxious to set
coal, nnd supplies on the docks increat-e
very slowly. At the lower lake polls

A Citizen of Scranton Pays a
Well Earned Tribute,
Tho following puhllo statement of a
respected citizen adds one more em
phatic endorsement of merit to tho
fcoies that have appealed bcfoie.
Mr. J. O. Stephens, of KOI (ireen KIcIbo
Mttect, says: "At times 1 had much
pain In my back and loins, nnd It was
almost Impossible to walk. At nights,
sometimes I rolled from one side of my
bed to the other all night long, trying
to llnd a comfortable position. In the
moinltiB, when 1 attempted to get tip,
a shaip, plerelnB pain caught me In
the small of my back, so sesere that I
had to ciy out. 1 doctoted from time
to time, but always without obtaining
relief. Douu's Kidney Pills had cuied
some of my friends, o I got a box at
Matthews Ilins1 drug stcne. A few
closes gavn lellef. I continued the
treatment, nnd they made me feel like
ii different person. After a very hard
day's woik, If I feel any symptoms of
n lame back, u dose of Ileum's Kidney
Pills quickly lemoves them."

and tho door closed after him.
It was not the flist time by a
pood many thnt he had ciosscd

"Captain Hlchmond?" the nectetary
iuerlcd with a quick scrutiny of the
faco of his visitor, who returned the
look ns ho Inclined hln head. "Sit

1 titidoiistand that you wore commis
sioned by my predecessor to lnqult
Into the abuses In connection with the

your Inquiry was entirely successful.
1 believe" with a smile "that yott
were sentenced to four years, and
wore liberated on a tlcket-of-leave, by
order of my predecessor, after elRht
months' Incarceration. Have you since
leported yourself to the police, as you
aie bound by the condition of tho
ticket to do?"
"No," Captain nichmond tepllcd, "I
have not reported myself."
"iSnod," returned tho secretary, "that
will facilitate) matters. I wish you if
you aro at liberty and not disinclined
to leluin to pilson life, to enter Shas
nat ptlsoti, and see If you can set
to the mot of the mystery there. If
J nu care to take up the matter, nnd
are successful, yott will not Unci this

"The elay after tomorrow, If that

"Very well. He In Chandos stieet

other handy burBl.ir's tools In your
pockets. SetBcant Cranio will be
there to arrest you. as licfotc. I will
arranBc that you serve your sentence
nt Shasnul."
"How shall I communicate with
you 7"
"One of the vMtliiB Justices will
make a point or seeiiiB ou privately
whenever he visits Shasnal," the f-ecte-tary
replied. "You will say only as
little net necessary to the Justice; w hat
ex er you tell him I shall know the
same clay, so that, if you have baied
the matter to the bone, you will bo
able to see me with very little delay.
Have I made my wishes clear?"
"I'eilectly so sir."
"Is theie anything 1 can do for
ou'."'
"NothliiB. unlcs.i you can expedite
my arrival at Shas-nal. I am Itching
to get then?."
"You aie Ititetestcd. eh? Well, I
lannot cln much to expedite your sen
tence, but what can be done judicious
ly shall, I pi utilise ou. The prelimln
lilies must, of coui.se, be exttemoly
aniioyliiB. I may add," the secietaty
said, holding out his hand, "If you
entry this matter through successfully
you may icly upon any Influence 1 may
have In the matter of a queen's ines
BCishlp for which I see your name
has been down some consldeiablo
time,"
"I'll set to the loot of the matter,"
Captain Richmond inutteied, ns hu
walked toward the Strand, "if It has
a toot."
"Thirty-nine! l"c you call that the
way to i till your bed'.'"
"What'h the matter with It?"
"Xo back ejiiotlons', please," shouted
the warder. "Or. as sine as your
naniiajs 'Arris I'll clock your Erub!
Roll that bed now or leport! Next
time, mind, lepott!"
He slammed tho door and went down
the cotiidor.
"When 1 get out of this and that
man Is dismissed and I'll take good
care he is I'll waylay him and ghe
him one of the soundest hidings he
ever had. The question Is, when shall
I get out of heie? Five days of the
five yeaus gone and 1 don't see any
thing queer. Still theie's a decent bal
ance left for cllsccn-eiles."
The cell door swung open nnd an
other winder looked In.
"Thirty-nine, talking! AYon't do, my
lad won't do."
"Snxing my praxors." icplied Thlrty-
"Say 'em to youtself, my lad!" And
tlio door slummed to again.
Kurly In the evening of the same
day the head winder looked Into the
cell Thirty-nine.
"All right?" ho tuqulted genially, as
he looked Thirty-nine c.uolully over.
"Yes, thank you," the convict re
sponded with some suipilso.
"I'Vcl youiself as comfortable as at
Hlackenham? 'Ortid 'ole. Blacken
ham! Ne.uly ns bad for the off Icoi-h
as the piisoneis. Was there l'jur
ye.us myself."
Thlity-nlne ptlcked up his ears ner
outly. "My name's Williams." the wnrdei
continued with Increasing affability.
"Remember me? No? Well, p'lir.ips
not. Can't say I rcmembeis you. Rut
wo see so many new faces while you
don't, so 1 thought you might temem
ber me. Stop, though. Weren't ou

mint 'e'd been. Sine you never tiled
your 'and at colnln".' Well, well, Is
must 'live been my fancy then. Sonic
body something like you, I supjiose.
Night!"
"What did ho come for?" Thirty-nine
asked himself. "Cleat ly he had sonic
dc finite object. 1 must cultivate my
friend Williams."
Rut Williams did not show himself
again for .some days und then adopt
ed nn cntltely dliferont manner.
II.
Thirty-nine had been In Shasnal pils
on about tlueo weeks, when the Jus
tices paid their usual visit. He had not
long to wait for his own call,
A tall, thin, lawyer-like ninn enter
ed tho cell, dismissed Williams with
a Eostuie, and tinned to the convict.
Ho drew Thlily-nlne to the further
ond of the cell.
"I'm directed by the home ofllie to
cairy any communications you have
to make," ho bald, In a whisper. "I
h.ivo pen and paper If you want tu
wilte. Re piompt."
Thlrty-nlno took the sheet of note
paper and tho fountain pen, and wrote
a few hurried lines:
"I want a complete list of convic
tions ngalnst pilsnueis "S and ill, now
heie; also any other facts beating up
on tho nature of their ci lines, Sooner
tho bette?. Convey through tho chap
lain, who Is honest."
Ho diled tho nolo on tho slip of
blotting paper between tho leaves nnd
Lhanded It to the Justice.
A moment later ho was nlono In his
cell again.
"It Foundri a wild notion, I must nd
mil," ho thought, ",x very wild notion.
Perhaps I an. wrong, but It Is queer
that 21 and "S are never at labor, and
that they alone aro ever taken near
the governor's house. Thero may be
a dozen reasons for It, and It may
have no possible connection with Wil
liams' first visit to me, but theie Is
something radically wrong, and 1 see
no other peg on which to hang my
suspicion than the privileges of thooo
two men and what Williams said to me.
He has never given me or anyone In
my heating a civil word or look since."
Thirty-nine had to wnlt until the
next visit of tho Justices for his an
swer from tho home otllce and In tho
meantime he had discovered little that
supported his suspicions. Rut tho let
ter the Justice brought hlm gave hlni
the turnout satlpfactlon.
It gavo a list of convictions ngalnst
tho two prisoners whom Thlttynlne
had Inquired nbnut. Starting as a hoy,
with petty larceny, Hcvcnty-clght had
turned to butglnry, purse-snatching,
long-tlrm frauds and coining.
Twenty-four, a younger man, was
tho son of the notorious "Jim Crow."
His ilrst conviction was for stealing
lead-piping from an empty house. Ho
was known to huvo nsetlstrd his father
In extensive Counterfeit-coining
schemes, and. upon tho death of "Jim
flow," Inheiltetl 2,000 or .0.1,000 with
which he started himself ns n book
maker. He lost his money, and was
mobbed for "welshing" nt tho River
pool meeting In IS. Next ho was ar
losted for attempting to pass bad
money In Nottingham, where a largo
quantity of base coin had been circu
lating for a period which correspond
ed with the length of time he had
been In the town. He served eighteen
months at Hlackenham. Rater ho was
sentenced to four yenis for passing
base coins.
"Any message to take back You had
better not keep this paper," said the
Justice.
"No. Will you return to the odlce?
I will wilte a messaBo back."
Ho took a pencil from his visitor,
and wrote:
"Kendeavor to trace movements of
every coiner who has passed thiough
here movements since they left. Want
my ellsohutgc for time being."
Three days later a warder enteted
the cell of Thlrtynlne and threw down
upon the pallet a. bundle of clothes.
They weie those In which Thirty-nine
had entered the pilson.
"You've got to change nn' come to
the governor's," he said.
Thlity-nlne chnnged and followed the
winder down tho cotiidor, across the
central hall, Into the governor's of
tlce. The governor sat at his tabic, and
two men In ordinary clothes stood
by.
"You'io tiansfericd to Portland,
Thirty-nine under nn order from the
home office." said tho governor. "These
oillcers are hero to fetch you. If you
give mo your word not to molest them
or attempt to escape you shall not
be handcuffed."
"I won't get up to no game, sir, and
thank you," Thirty-nine replied.
He was struck by the fact that his
escort xx oio In plain clothes. Rut It
occurred to him that prisoners were
not conveyed from prison to pilson In
convict dress as had been the rule,
nnd It xas theieforo only consistent
that xardei should not be In their
unlfoim, or the sjililt of the leforin
would be lost.
Ills custodians ushcieel him Into a
fly that xvas waiting in the prison yard,
and, ns they took their seats facing
hlm, the elder man smiled, and said
quietly:
"I expect you can see thiough this,
sir?"
"1 think so," Thirty-nine replied.
"We shall take you to the station,
If you've no objection, or the dilver
may smell a rat. There Is a tlrst-class
to London, and two sovereigns 1 was
Instructed to hand to you for your
leturn expenses."
They alighted at the station and
passed thiough tho booking lobby.
"That Is your train waiting sir," said
the fee ond officer, so we'll wish you a
respectful gooel morning. We're not lc
tuinlng till a later train."
"tlood morning," icplied Captain
Richmond, as the train moved out of
the station.
Ai rived at the metropolitan tei minus,
ex-Thlrty-nlno got Into a hansom and
diove away to his chambers. An hour
later, nttltcel in a smart morning suit,
he was shaking hands with the home
secretary.
"You were In a hurry to get out,"
the secretary said, with a depioc.iting
smile. "I'm afraid you cannot have
dlscoveied much In the time."
"I don't think 1 could have leaint
mote had I remained," Richmond io-
mained. "I have drawn snino surpris
ing conchi'dons. ami tho test must bo
put fiom outside. I have only to xialt
now for the reports concerning the
movements of colncis who have passed
through Shasnal."
"Hero are the lecords of tin en cases,
I can get otheis for you If necessary.
Why you pick upon coiners 1 don't
undeistand."
"On the other hand, thw-o leioids,"
Richmond returned, a slight color
mounting to his face, "appear to con
firm my suspicions. Uoes It not sttlke
jou as being stiangc, sir, that each
of these left the country almost Im
mediately upon being I Pleased
from Shashnal I note cine
xx ent to Australia, where he
bought a small farm, which he has
flnco successfully cultivated; anothei
xxent to America, whcio he quickly mn
thiough a sum of money which xwis
considerable for a man of his position,
and then turned his attention to tor
gory: tho last went out to Durban,
bought the goodwill of a small public
house, and drank himself to death.
In this taste fur cmlgiatlon, xxhhii
seems to have been Inculcated at Shas
nal to one convicted of coining I seem
to see a gioat deal to tuippott my con
clusions." "Which aio?" Interrogated the sec
rotary. "That there Is a secret mint at Sims
n.il." "Pieposteious!" the minister ejacu
lated. "A mint In one of her majesty's
prisons? Dear, clear! You must think
of something moie likely nicuo pos
lhle." "Pardon me; but 1 cannot think of
anything more possible to a man In
tho governor's position, who had the
Instincts nf an enterprising criminal.
He has every facility Immunity from
raids, unlimited strong cells, which
could lendlly be tuined Into workshops,
a pretty regular succession of skilled
coiners, whoso assistance could be
bought for leniency and a little money
to start them on their icleiiso fiom
pilson, and whoso secrecy could be
absolutely relied upon."
"Rooked at like thnt, It appears pos.
ilnle; but It Is rather risky to base
conclusions upon meio possibilities,"
the secretin y replied, with quiet cyn
icism. "I don't at least not entliely, War
der Williams attempted to discover
whether I had clone any mining. He
was remarkahly genial until ho learned
that 1 hud not, when ho became stnly
nlmost in brutality, He was teniaik
ably genial to Seventy-eight and Twenty-four,
who were the only men In
Shasnul who had done any coining.
These two men "wcro never In the
labor yard. Why? They always
loked pictures of health every
time I saw' them enter or leave tho en
trance ot the basement cells, at the
sldo of the governor's house, which
were condemned three years ago as
unhealthy."
"Ah! wo have something tangible In
tho use of tho condemned basement
eells," tho secretary said thoughtfully.
"That matter shall be Inquired Into
at once. The best thing you can do I3
to send In your report, Captain Rich
mond, nnd then wo can duly consider
the matter."
Ho rcve, smiling blandly, nnd held
out his hand.
Next dny Captain Richmond received
a check for his services. Ho tore It up
In disgust and then wished ho had not.
Ho was still debating In his mind
whether ho could ask for another check
when he received an official document
appointing him a queen's messenger.
For a time ho was puzzled to know
why he had been appointed. Hut he
was not kept long In the dark, for
he was called to the home ofllce, xvhero
the secretary graciously apologized for
having scouted tho coining theory. Two
prison commlssloneis had visited Shas
nal to Inqulic vhy the basement cells
were being used. It was denied thnt
such was the case. The commissioners
demanded to look over tho basement.
No 0110 know whero the keys -wore.
Other obstacles were put In the com
mlssloneis' path, but everything was
overruled anel the basement opened by
force.
"Discoveries xvere made which left
no doubt that your conclusion wns
only too accurately drawn," said the
secretary, hovering between confidence
and reticence. "Tho governor resigned
before the commissioners left, and the
deputy governor watt appointed ns a,
stop-gap. The samo evptilng a inld
was made upon a pawnbroker's shop In
Mlle-Knd, kept by Warder Williams'
brother, and between C 100 and .i,00
of base coin xx-as found there. Strange
to say, the police have been Interested
In that shop for some time, oxxlng to
the frequent complaints of sailors, xxho
largely frequent It, that base money
had thero been foisted upon thorn. The
business wns nn cxcelent medium for
passing the coins. We nie lnqttltlng
x hat other methods xxeie also adopted.
Considerable changes will bo made nt
Shasnal, but It Is undesirable that the
matter should become public knowl
edge," the secretary concluded. "The
profits appear to have been very con
siderable, and the coins ate really mas
terpieces of their kind. Chicago
