Story of a Shield Pin, -
" r DO not like to take up personal
II cases, as we detectives call a cer
tain class of work, so when Miss
Angell of Broadside street sent for me
to take tip a "small personal mystery"
I responded with a poor grace.
Scarcely had she begun to tell bet
atory, however, than I became so in
terested that I begged her to continue
and tell me the details as far as possi
ble. Miss Angell was engaged to Mr.
Clond a peculiar combination of names
to beg-in with, and was devotedly at
tached to blm. In fact, she confessed
with tears in her eyes that his love was
mors, or had been more, than life to
her.
The rest of the story I will let her
toll In her own words.
"Mr. Cloud," she said, "is in the habit
of calling on me almost every evening.
About a week ago he came to dinner.
Invited by mamma. He was to attend
a supper of the Phoenix Club at 10
o'olock. and wore evening dress.
"At the table we noticed an exquisite
shield pin he wore. It shoue so brll--Uantly
that it caught the eye at once.
Mr. Clond took the pin off and it was
passed around the table for us all to
sxamine.
"It was a shield as large as a quar
ter with the outside edge bordered with
pure rubles, blood red. all of a size and
without a flaw. The center of the
shield consisted of a large diamond
cut not very deep, yet too deep to be
sunken, so It was elevated In a wire
setting. Around the diamonds were
perfectly matched black pearls. The
combination was so unusual that we
exclaimed as we handled the jewel and
I remarked that I had never seen it
before.
"When we had finished examining It
Mr. Cloud said: That Is my Phoenix
club badge. It belongs to the president.
When I was elected the badge was pre
sented to me by the members and when
I resign, and a new president comes in,
I must give up the badge to him. It
Is the president's badge, to be owned
by blm during bis term of office. Of
course, it is only to be worn at the
- meetings.'
"Mamma spoke of Its great value.
Tea,' said Mr. Cloud, 'It is indeed very
valuable. It is worth thousands. If !
1 were to lose it I should feel ruined,
as I conld never hope to replace it.'
"As he spoke Mr. Cloud's face be
came very serious. 'We once had a
oase of that kind,' said he 'a most curi
ous case. The president lost his badge
and committed suicide next day. You
see he was suspected of having sold It.'
"After we had looked at the badge
and talked about It. I very foolishly
asked to wear it, and in a fit of way
wardness I reached across the table,
took it up and put It In the bow of rib
bon at my throat.
"At the close of the meal, Mr. Cloud
asked me for it, but I, to tease him,
said I meant to keep it. and ran up
stairs with it on.
"After they were seated In the parlor
I Stole quietly- down the stairs and
placed the pin In the lining of Mr.
Cloud's overcoat, directly under the
lapel.
"I went back up to my room and
eame down stairs agaiu. I found
mamma and my sister seated alone in
the parlor. Mr. Cloud had gone out to
send a telegram. He would !e back
in a minute.
"When he returned, which was after
half an hour, he came in for only a
minute, to say good-by, he said, and to
ask for his pin: 'Come, Mazie,' be said,
you have teased me long enough. Let
me have the pin now. I must go.'
" 'I gave It back to you,' I said, 'an1
you have it now.
Then I stood up and running my
angers along the lapel of his coat felt
for the pin. It was gone!
"I turned as white as snow and as I
felt the color leaving my face, I said:
'I gave it back.'
"My mother looked up surprised and
Mr. Cloud stared at me. 'Yes, 1 gave
It back. I put it on your coat. You
mast have it.'
" 'Why, Mazie,' said Mr. Cloud, 'how
can you say so?'
"I pass over the disagreeable scene
which followed. I will not mention
Mr. Cloud's chagrin or my mother's
amazement, even as I explained how I
had stolen down the stairs and had
fastened the precious pin in the lapel
of the coat. Just for fun, and how I
Intended after teasing him to tell him
that It was there. As I talked I could
see my mother's Incredulous looks and
Mr. Cloud's absolute dismay. They did
not believe me!
"After the most painful quarter of
an hour which I ever expect to spend
Mr. Cloud left, shaking hands cordially
with my mother and saying a cold
good-night to me.
"After he had gone my mother said:
'Mazie, my darling girl, tell the truth.
It is not too late.'
" There is nothing more to tell,
mother.' I said. 'I have told you the
whole truth.'
"After a while my mother saw that
I was In earnest and she lwlleved me.
But as next day came and passed, and
no word came from Mr. Cloud, I saw
that he doubted me. The third day
there came a formal note saying that
If I would return the pin he would give
sae its value In money, paying m as

The recital took some time, for th
young lady's emotion orsffeno bat
mors than once. And I mttft oooJeas
that L too. felt indignant for Mar. first
that fats should have played so na
kind a trick upon so beautiful a young
girl; and secondly, that her lor sr. Mr.
Cloud, should have doubted bar m

graceful suspicion, and hope, wKn ysoi
assistance, to solve too mystery."
"It Is so long a time," I began, "if
you "
"Yes, I know," said she, impatiently,
"Still," I said. "I will do my bast
But you must allow me to talk With
Mr. Cloud. That will be aksoMaaly
necessary."
At this she became grectiy sssiniml,
but finally consented.
That same day I caUed on Mr. OlouO
and was received by him la his prtvata
office. He was not cordial, and I soon
saw that, while he would not accuse
the young .av, J9 Jiought she had
kept io pin. He told me that, on leav
lng the parlor, be had put on his over
coat andand bad gone to the near sat
telegraph office to send a message.
There, meeting an old friend, be bad
gone Into a cafe and taken a drink,
after which he had returned to the
house of his fiancee, having been gone
about half an hour.
"Tell mo the name of the cafe,'
Mid.
Having carefully noted the
and addresses of all concerned during
that half hour, I left Mr. Cloud and I
will do him the Justice to say that I
think he was half-convincsd that he
might have made a mistake.
Going first to the telegraph office, I
walked from there to the cafe. At
that moment a wagon stood In front
of the door and they were bringing
out the soiled table linen.
An Inspiration came to me, and I much precious time but many a heart
said to the driver: "How often do you 1 ,cne as well. Christian Common
take away the linen?" ! wealth.
"Twice a week." said he. "But this !
week we bad a breakdown and wo are
late, and It's almost eight days."
As the driver started away I said:
"I want to search that load of napkins
and if you win drive them into that
vacant lot I will pay you well for your
trouble."
Once in the lot I overhauled the con-
tents of the wagon thoroughly; and !
was finally rewarded by feeling a hard .
lump of something which hurt my hand :
as I pinched it.
Looking closer I saw tangled in the
fringe a glittering Jewel, which, as. I
extricated it, proved t be-the diamond '
set in the gorgeous pin which had been ;
so accurately described to me by Miss
Angell.
I did not let the driver know of m) '
booty, but making an excuse that I (
could not find what I wanted, I walked .
away, nor did I stop until I had tele- ;
graphed to Mr. Cloud. A few minutes ,
later I sat in the parlor of Miss Angell's
residence talking to her. When I bad
told my story and laid the pin In her
lap her Joy knew no bounds. Just at
that moment Mr. Cloud was an
nounced, and Miss Angell then and
there gave blm the pin. I never saw a
girl so happy. She almost hugged me.
As soon as Mr. Cloud saw his mis
take be was humbly apologetic and
tried to fall at her feet, but she waved
him away, and Mrs. Angell delicately
suggested that, s his presence would
always remind them of a painful chap
ter, it would be better If he were to go
sway and stay away!
1 may add that when Mr. Cloud went
into the cafe the pin was in the lapel of
the coat, but, becoming entangled in
the fringe of his napkin, was pulled
out and would have been lost forever
had It not been for the perseverance
of the plucky Miss Angell. New Or

Growth of Human Hair.
Authorities Offer as to the rate of
growth of the human hair, and it is
said to be very dissimilar in different
individuals. The most usually accept
ed calculation gives six and one-half
inches per annum. A man's hair, al
lowed to grow to its extreme length,
rarely exceeds 12 or 14 inches, while
that of a woman will grow In rare
instances to TO or 75 inches, though the
average does not exceed 25 to 80
Inches.
San Worship.
The most complete system of sun
worship that we have any account of
was that existing in Peru when discov
ered by the Spaniards in 1526. The
lncax, as the Peruvian monarchs were
called, claimed to be children of the
sun and his representatives on earth.
Their government was a despotic theoc
racy, of which the Inca was both high
priest and king. In Cuaco, the capital,
stood a splendid temple to the sun, in
which all the implements were of solid
gold. On the west end of the interior
was a representation of the sun's disk,
and rays In the same precious metaL
so placed that the rising sun, shining In
at the open east end, fell full upon the
image and was reflected with daesling
Bplendor. In the plaza or square Of
the temple a great annual festival was
held at the summer solstice. The mul
titude assembled from all parts of the
empire, and presided over by the Inca
Lwaited in breathless solemnity the
tirst rays of their deity to strike the
golden image In the temple when they
till prostrated themselves In adoration.
Sacrifices, similar to those of the Jews,
kvere offered on the occasion, and bread
nnd wine were partaken of in a manner
trlklngly resemblng the Christian sao-
ament. The moon as the spouse ol
he sun. the planet Venus as his page,
be rielades, and the remarkable con-
tcllation of the Southern Cross, wsre
minor deities.- The rainbow and light
ning were also worshipped as servants
of the s ti : and fire, air, sank and
water v :t without adoration. In
fact, the.. .. as little In Nature that the
Peruvians did not contrive to make r

"Foolscap."
Every one knows what foolscap pa
er is. but not every ono knows why
It was so called. An exchange ven
tures to remark that not on in a hun
dred that dally use It can answer the
question. The following will tell you
bow the term originated:
When Oliver Cromwell became pro
tector, after the execution of Charle
I., he caused the stamp of the cap ol
liberty to be placed upon the paper
used by the English Government. Soon
after the restoration, Charles II.,
having occasion to oe some paper for
dispatches, some of this Government
paper was brought to him.
On looking st it, and discovering the
stamp, he Inquired the meaning of it,
and on being told, he said:
'Take it away; I have nothing to dc
with a fool's cap."
The term "foolscap" has since been
applied to a certain size of glazed writ
ing paper. Morning Star.

BARBER TO FOUR MILLIONAIRES
Thomas Whalen Shaves Armour, Fair
bank, Allerton and Field.
Thomas Whalen shaves four million
aires a day. He makes the round of
their residences every morning and
uses his own fast pacer to save time.
They all pay liiin a liberal salary and In
three hours each morning he earns
more than the average barber does in
four days.
Mr. Whalen's clients are P. D. Ar
mour. S. W. Allerton, Marshall Field
and N. K. Fairbank. They employ him
by the year, and his salary continues
whether they are In Europe, New York,
California or Chicago. His contract
calls for a daily shave In Chicago, and
If the millionaires' chins are not to tue,
found, Whalen Is not the sufferer. His
"pull" is said to be of the gentlest, but
his fellow barbers declare It is very
strong, and besides the salary be gets
there is always a liberal Christmas
oresent.
The salaries paid are as follows!
Mr. Armour, $75 per month; Mr.
Field. $75; Mr. Allerton. $50, and Mr.
Fairbank, $35. All of these gentlemen
have their private barber shops, and
Mr. Whalen has the running of theni
He keeps each supplied with the finest
razors, shears, strops, soaps, mugs, and
other requisites of a first-class tonsorlat
parlor. He knows the turn of every
whisker of his patrons, and there Is
uever any kick about razors with a
'pull."
His labors begin early. Mr. Armour'i.
home is his first stopping place, though
recently, during that gentleman's resl-J
deuce in California, he has not been
getting up so early. Mr. Armour has
always shaved by 6 o'clock and often
earlier. From there it Is only a block
to Mr. Field's Prairie avenue mansion,
and Just across the street, a little to the
south, he finds Mr. Allerton ready for
his dally scrape. But to reach Mr.
Fairbank he must make a big jump to
the North Side, and his fast pacer
comes in good use. Cars are too uncer
tain, and Mr. Fairbank cannot be kept
waiting or disappointed, and before 9
o'clock Wbalen Is at the Lake Shore
drive residence, ready for Mr. Fair
bank to come to the private barber
mt.
"Tom" Whalen is one of the be.it
kuown ltarbers In Chicago. He has
iiiudu a competency out of his work,
and his Income now is by no means
Jx-ggarly, averaging close to $3,000 for
the year. Ills last shop was in the
Methodist church block. This he sold
several years ago. He now devotes his
attention to his four millionaire cus

-That's another of tbesa IJJtt yams,"
said the skipper to the mate, as bis
privateering fork made a prise of the
last piece of bread on the plate. "These
Yankee papers stretch ont stuff of that
kind Iks the ship chandler does h i
bill. They miss stays. half the time,
and do not know what tbey are talking
about." And he threw the paper to one
side.
"What blood aad thunder yarn Is it
this timer asked the mate, glancing
knowingly at the empty platter.
"It's no penny dreadful at all," an
swered the Captain between mouth
fuls. "It's nothing less than a red-hot
whopper. It's about them Dutchmen
who are fitting out for an Arctic trip
to be gone four years. After telling
bow the bull Is to be strengthened In
and out to fight the ice, It says that ths
tub Is to be lighted wltb electricity
throughout. Now what I want to
know Is bow they can make electricity
without coaL They can t carry enoagk
coal In her to do the lighting for four
years. That's why it's a galley yarn."
"Mot at all," said the mate, although
be felt a bit "shaky" In saying It
Tbey don't need coal to make elec
tricity. When I was np north In the
Phoenix four or five years ago I saw
a boat railed the FTam. which was
owned by a chap called Nansen,-Jhe
aJ-&rg2-st-lha and I rs-
mmbr t2at the mate took mo aboard
and showed me an electric plant that
beat old mischief. Coal for the dyna
mos? Not a plnchful. They worked
their machines with power supplied
from a windmill, and I tell yon It open
ed my eyes. No, I sm not turning
pressman, rsptain. I am telling yoa
the honest truth. I had my doubts
about It, though, until last year, when
I wss In Boston. In the Assyrian I met
a very clever young Yankee who hailed
from Walpole. Mass.. snd he claimed
that he bad the first and only really
successful windmill electric lighting
plant in the world. I told him that I
could get to windward of that calm,
but he wouldn't believe me. I sfter
ward learned thst be lighted not only
his bouse st Walpole with this wind
mill nlanL but his stables and grounds
! as well. I don't believe half that I read
In these American papers, but this do
ing without coal for electricity Is all
right- I'm very sorry to offend you,
but It's a strue as the fsct that you
have taken my piece of bread." New

A builder In Glasgow, baring beard
bat his men did not start work at the

drop down about half-past 6 some
morning to see. Going up the yard be
caught sight of a Joiner standing smok
ing, wltb bis kit unopened. Simply
asking bis name, which he found to
be Malcolm Campbell, he called him
Into the office and. handing him four
days' pay, told him to leave at once.
After having seen the man clear ont of
the yard he went up to tbe foreman
and told him he bad made an example
of Malcolm Campbell by paying him
off for not starting at tbe proper time.

the teacher would noLcatch his eye
snd be led to call on him. The ether
scholars also did their best to keep
from attracting the tescher's attention
to themselves.
The hush in the room wss thick,
solid.
Tbe voice of Miss Honeydew broke
the silence.
"I would like to have a definition of
an epic," she said, and her glance
swooped over the class.
There was more silence.
"Is there no one who can tell me
what an epic Is?" Inquired the teacher.
After three seconds John Waldowskl,
a hoy of somewhere around 18, with
yellow hair and fishy eyes, raised his
hand. '
"Well, John," said Miss Honeydew,
"I am glad there Is some one In tbe
class who knows what an epic ia John,
you msy define an epic."
"A epic," replied the boy, shuffling
his feet and looking the wisdom of an
