THE BUEGLAB AND
THE PUBLIC HOUSE.
FINE pnhlic
house," said
Blanco Watson,
the humorist
"Yes," I re
plied, looking at
the building we
were approach-
.lng, "but a
Mtrange position
'away from the
hish ronrt, and surrounded by villas."
"A very strange position. We 'will
rest in the puldic house, and I will tell
you how It came to be built in such a
very strange position."
I smiled, and followed him Into the
saloon bar. We sat at one of the tables,
and were silent for a time, he thinking
and I watching blm.
"The story losins," he said present
ly, "with a burglary committed by a
certain Hill Jones one night long ago.
"Bill was a young member of his pro
fession. Hitherto he had not attempted
anything very big. but continued suc
cess in small things had made him bold.
Ou this night he broke Into the country
house of a well-known actress, in the
hope of carrying off her jewels.
"lie succeeded In getting the Jewels
and was leaving with them when he
found that the. slight noise he had
maile had attracted attention. A ser
vant girl met him at a turn of the stir
way and began to shriek. He rushed
by her and to the window through
which he had entered. As he passed
through it again he heard doors being
opened, and knew that the house was
fully aroused."
"I understand," I said. "Bill escaped.
The actress employed a detective. The
detective built this public house In an
out-of-the-way place, hoping that BI1L
as an tuit-of-tlie-wiiy young man, would
call in one day for a drink. Curiously
enough. Bill did."
Blanco Watson frowned.
'I'lils is an intellectual story," he
said; "it does not depend on coinci
dences. "I will continue. Bill avoided the
first pursuit by a long run across coun
try, uud then walked toward his home,
not daring to use the railway. lie kept
to the by-roads as much as possible,
and at the close of the next day had
reached the neighborhood of London.
"A spade lying inside a field gate
suggested to him the advisability of
hiding the Jewels until be had arranged
for their sale. After making sure that
he was not observed, he entered the
field and picked up the spade. A tree
of peculiar growth stood Just beyond
him. In the manner of fiction, he count
ed twenty steps due north from the
tree, and then dug a deep hole, placed
the jewels in it. and filled it up again.
"lie arrived home safely that night,
bnt was arrested In the morning. The
servant girl hud given an accurate de
scription of him to the police, and they
had recognized It.
"In due course he was tried. The
evidence against him was very strong.
The servant girl swore that he was the
man she met on the stairs; some of the
villagers swore that they had seen him
near the house previously to the burg
lary, lie was found guilty and sen
tenced to seven years' punal servitude. '
"Bill behaved very well In prison,
and at the end of five yeare was re
leased on a ticket-of-leave. He decided
to wait until the ticket had expired,
and then to get the jewels and leave
the country. But a day or two after
his release he walked out to look at
the field.
"There was no field. During the
five years ho had been In prison the
estate of which the field was part had
been built upon. He wandered about
the houses in despair. But, as he turned
a corner, he saw something which sug
gested hope. Behind some railings was
tree of curious growth.
"It was the tree twenty steps due
north of which he had buried the Jew
els. He recognized it Immediately, and
ran toward It. Again he was In despair.
A yard or two north of the tree was a
chapel. He leaned against the railings,
covering his face with his hands.
"It happened presently that the bead
deacon of the chapel, a kindly old man,
came down the road. He saw Bill
standing like one In trouble, and
fctopp.nl and asked what was the mat
ter and whether he could help.
"For a few momenta Bill did not
knew what to reply, but then he spoke
well. He said that once he had been
a burglar, but that he had learned In
prison that burglary Is wrong; that
now he was trying to live an honest
life, but that, as ho had no friends, It
was not cany.
"The old man was touched. He had
found Bill leaning against the chapel
railing, and Bill had said that he had
no friends. Was it not his duty as
bead dencon of the chapel to bo a friend
to Bill? Clearly it was.
"He took Bill home with himi he was
bachelor, and there wag no one to
restrain his benevolence. They had
supper and talked together. The dea
con found Bill intelligent and fairly
well educated, and offered blm employ
ment. He was a builder In the neigh
borhood, he explained, and had a va
' fcancy ia the works. Bill gratefully ac
tepted the offer, and began his new
career on the following Monday.
"Months passed. Bill bad changed
wonderfully. He had forgotten his old
habits and learned new ones. The dea
con was delighted. Not only was Bill
the best of his workmen, but he was
the most regular attendant at the
chapel.
"Bill longed for the Jewel, and he
worked hurd because he knew that
money would help him to get them.
He attended the chapel because while
'iiet-e he was near the jewels, the seat
he had taken being just twenty steps
1i:e north from the tree. At first he
had meditated digging down through
lie floor one night, but the chances of
detection were great and he had given
up the idea.
"Years passed. The deacon had be
come an invalid, and Bill practically
managed his business. He was an Im
portant man at the chapel, too, and
was often Intrusted with a collection
box. One day the deacon died. Soon
afterward It was known that, baring
no near relatives, he had left his prop
erty to his friend William Jones."
I see!" I exclaimed; "Bill "

"He had become a nu f wealth. A

of the successful candidates. Ia future
we must refer to him as Mr. Janes, anc
sot as Bill.
"Mr. Jones was a most energetic dea
con. He Introduced new members and
he persuaded old ones to attend mors
regularly. He started a young mcn'i
literary society asd a series of Satur
day entertainments. He made the chap
el the most popular In the district; and
then, at a New Year's business meet
ing, he struck boldly for th Jewels.
"The ekapol 'was -too smsilr tw said
In the eouree of an eloquent speech.
They must erect another on a target
site. There was bat one such site In
the neighborhood. They must secure
It before others did. He himself would
undertake the building- operations,
charging only what they cost him. He
would also purchase the old chapel.
The net expenditure need not be very
great
"The proposal was well received,
and a committee, with Mr. Jones as
chairman, was appointed to Consider
the details. Their report was Tery
favorable, and at another business
meeting it was decided to Carry" out
the proposal.
"The necessary funds were sub
scribed or guaranteed. Contracts were
made with Mr. Jones. Id the spring of
that year the building operations were
commenced, and by the autumn they
were finished. The congregation re
moved to the new chapel. Mr. Jones
purchased the old one at a high price

on until he had tried everywhere be

"Why, what had become of them 7"
"I cannot say. It Is possible that
when the foundation was being laid a
workman had discovered and appropri
ated them. Again, it Is possible that
there were two trees of similarly cu
rious growth, and that the one outside
the chapel was not the one Mr. Jones
first saw. Again "
"And what has the story to do with
the public house? But I can guess."
"Of course you can. Mr. Jones was
very angry with the chapel members.
He considered that, by false pretenses,
they had led him into buying the old
chapel dearly and building the new one
cheaply. He resigned his deaconshlp,
and then sought a way to be revenged
on them. He found one. On the site
of the old chapel he built a public

Stitched a Fractured Bone.
John Gordon, 3!) years of age, found
by the light of the X-ray that he was
recovering the use of a fractured leg,
the bone in which bad been sewn to
gether with silver threads. This man
owes the saving of his limb to one of
the most remarkable surgical opera
tions of the age, performed by Profes
sor Reginald Sayre, the eminent spe
cialist, at Beilevue hospital.
Gordon sustained a compound frac
ture of the femur, the largest bone in
the leg and the longest In the entire
body. It was the result of a bad fall.
Amputation seemed Imperative, but he
pleaded against the loss of a limb, and
bis sister had him removed from bis
home to Beilevue hospital.
There Dr. Sayre and Dr. A. W. Will
iams decided upon a daring operation,
jnlting the bone and tying It In place
with the silvet films. The greatest fear
was that blood poisoning might result
Gordon began to Improve at once, how
ever, and for a month past has been
able to walk about with only the as
sistance of a cane.
In order to ascertain whether the ex
perimental operation was a success or
not Dr. Sayre and Dr. Williams had
Gordon removed In a carriage to the
studio of Professor Martin, where the
limb was observed in the glare of the
X-ray. The fractured bone was found
to be knitting together and fast heal
ing. The silver strands were still in
place and those he will have with him
always. New York Journal.

There Is a great difference in the speech
of the high and low caste natives. The
first call their island group "Ha-va-ee-ee,"
and the latter begin It all right
with "Ha," but conclude with a gut
tural grunt; and tho word heard most,
"Aloha," sounds soft and beautiful on
the Hps of the first, but is a lazy, good
natured grunt as the latter speak it
Aloha is, in their limited vocabulary,
at once a greeting and farewell, a
formal expression of regard and of
deep love. In tho latter case It is in
creased In warmth and depth of mean
ing by modifying adjectives annexed
Instead of prefixed, as "Aloha nul,"
"Aloha nul loa," or even "Aloha nul
loa kea!" and then it is time to speak
to papa.'
Our soldiers, so say the reports from
Honolulu, were greeted with "Alohas"
tnd "lels." The latter are wreaths of
flowers made either to fit around the
hat of a man or head of a woman, or
more generously to hang over the neck
and shoulders. The native women dis
play much art In weaving the abund
ant flowers into lels of much beauty.

Trials of teotares.
TJader th title of "Some Reminis
cences of a Lecturer," Dr. Andrew
Wilson, the well-known writer on popu
lar science, gives many amusing anec
dotes of lecturers and their audiences.
Most irritating to the former is a pro
vincial habit of turning heads "en
masse," when a door creaks, to ascer
tain who Is coming In. Dr. Wilson tells
a story of a lecturer who, when any
one happened to com in lata in tho
usual clumsy fashion, was In the habit
of stopping short and watching the in
truder to his seat generally with the
effect of making him look sheepish and
disconcerted. It happened, however,
one day, while he was lecturing In a
provincial town, that he was Interrupt
ed by gentleman coming In late with
a particularly Irritating pair of creak
ing boots. The lecturer stopped, ac
cording to his custom, and stared at
the intruder, who seemed to be not in
the least conscious that all eyes were
upon blm. At length, getting out of pa
tience, the lecturer, In an Icy tone, said:
"I am watting for you. sir." Appar
ently quit unmoved, the offender spent
a few seconds in arranging his coat In
his chair. Then, sitting down, be turn
ed to th lecturer with a charming
smile, and said: "Now. air. I am ready

"I have." said th traveler, "pene

you'll find you're not so warm.

"H didn't" responded grandpa, with

yonder only about fifty years after Co
lumbus discovered America, that la to
sny, In 1648, when Charles V. was King
of Spain, a Spanish captain named Elas
co de Guerere put a two-hundred-ton
steamboat on the water at Barcelona
that made a record for Itself In no time.
There was an exhibition run before the
King and all his court and there wasn't
a hitch in the whole trial trip. The se
cret of the propelling power was un

there were two wheels visible on the
outside of the hull As I said, she was
success, and the King was greatly
pleased and wanted his treasurer to
buy the whole thing from Captain
Guerere and build some government
steam vessels, but the treasurer was
away behind the times and poked
around until Guerere took the engine
out of the hull and let the boot rot in
the water. As for himself be died from

-- - . - much j, that
was claimed for it and was without
question quite aa successful as its suc
cessors, yet the best Richelieu could do
for de Cost was to shut him up in a
mad-house for his persistence, where
in good time, I suppose, the poor fellow
died. Franca wasn't any better than
Spain In the navigation business, and
the steamboat interests languished for
another hundred years, when up on the
Potomac at Shepherd stown, Va., James
Ramsey bad a steamboat that that
highly respected citizen, George Wash
ington, thought was a good thing, and
advised him to push It along. Mr. Fitch
ran in one about the same time, and
poor Ramsey bad such u hard row to
hoe with his invention that at last he
gave it up In despair. Two hundred
years wasted, my lad, and still no
steamboat doing a regular passenger
and freight business. The next trial
we made by William Symington on the
Forth and Clydo canal In Scotland, with
the tug Charlotte Dundas, and nobody
said then that steam navigation was a
new thing. The Dundas towed for a
while and was laid by because her
wheels washed the banks of the canal.
This was In 1802, and there was anotb
er lapse until 1807. when the Fulton you
mention shoved a little steamboat call
ed the Clermont out on the Hudson Riv
er and made a trip to Albany in her.
He bad failed on the Seine and would
have done It in America, but he had the
money behind him this time and he got
there exactly as Captain Guerere would
have done three hundred years ahead
of him if he had only had the backing.
That's history, my child," concluded
the old gentleman, "and whenever any
body talks to you about Robert Fulton
Inventing the steamboat you tell him
what your grandfather tells you. Do
you hear?" Detroit Free Tress.
