To hold back when a mar- ' ket is open to them, waiting for a re vival ot tilie leaf trade, is to court still lower prices late in the season, which \ was the experience of manv of them ! with their 1912 and 191 3 crops. CROWD SEES MAN CUT IN TWO j Salesman Killed by Train at Erie Sta tion in Kearny, N. J. Kearny, X. .1., Jan. 11.—Charles McTaggart, a salesman for W. E. Mar shall A. Co., 146 West Twenty-third street. New York, was killed by an Krie passenger train in front of the station here at noon yesterday. His body was cut in two. The station plat form was crowded. A number of women fainted. McTjiggart was 46 years old and lived with his widowed mother at 19S Bong on avenue, Kearny. The train that struck him was on the westbound track. Ordinarily it uses the east bound nils, but repairs at the Passaic river bridge i caused the change. Although McTag gart's body was completely severed he j lived ten minutes.

Quarter of an hour passed. The grim-visa ged po lice watched us vigilantly. Half an hour, three-quarters, an hour. Far ! away we heard the whistle of an out- ! going train. Would I had heen on It: From time to time we heard faint music. At length there was a noise outside e railway station." snarled Haggerty. "Now. then, tell me every thing that has happened, from be ginning to end." And the chief recounted the adven ture briefly. Haggerty looked coldly at me and shrugged his broad shoul ders. As for the girl, he never gave her so much as a single glance. He knew a gentlewoman without looking at her twice. "Humph! Isn't he a clever one, though?" cried Hasgerty. in a burst of ai'miratiou. "Clever is no name for it. I'd give a year of ray life to come face to face with him. It would be an interesting encounter. Hunted him for weeks, and today laid eyes on him for the first time. Had my clumsy paws on him this very afternoon. He seemed so willing to be locked up that I grew carelesf. liifr: i dhe md bis accomplice, an erstwhile valet, had me trussed like » chicken and bundled Into the clothes-press. Took my star, credentials, playing-card, and invita tion. It was no.rr eleven o'clock when I roused the housekeeper. I tele graphed two hours ago." "Telegraphed!" exclaimed the chief, rousing himself out of a melancholy dream. (There would be no mention of him in the morrow's papers.) "Yes, telegraphed. The despatch lay unopened on your office-desk. You're a good watchdog—for a hen coop!" growled Hasgerty. "Ten thou sand in gems to-night, and by this time he is safe in New York. Yon are all a pack of blockheads. "Used the telephone, did he? Told you to hold these innocent persons till he went somewhere to land the ac complice, eh? The whistle of the train meant nothing to you. Well, that whistle ought to hare told you that there might be a mistake. A good officer never quits his prisoners. If there is an accomplice in toils else where, he makes them bring him in, ho does not go out for him. Ana now I've got to start all over again, and he In New York, a bigger cata comb than Rome ever boasted of. He's not a common thief; nobody knows who he is or what his haunts are. But I have seen his face; I'll never forget him." The chief tore his hair, while his subordinates shuffled their feet un easily. Then they all started in to explain their theories. But the de tective silenced them with a wave of his huge hand. "I don't want to hear any explana tions. Let these persons go," he com manded, with a jerk of his head in our direction. "You can all return to town but one officer. I may need a single man," Haggerty added though fully. "What are you going to do?" asked the chief. "Never you mind. I have an Idea; It may be a good one. If It Is, I'll telephpne you all about it when the time comes." He stepped over to the telephone and called up central. He spoke so low that none of us overheard what he said; but he hung up the receiver, a satisfied smile on his face. Haggerty Looked 1 Coldly it Ml. The girl and I were free to go , whither we listed, and we listed to return at once to New York. Ham ilton, however, begged us to remain, to dance and eat, as a compensation for what we had gone through; but j Miss Hawthorne resolutely shook her I head; and as there was nothing in the world that would have induced me to stay without her, I shook my head, too. It seemed to me I had known this girl all my life, so closely does misfortune link one life to another. T had seen her for the first time less ' than eight hours before; and yet I was j confident that as many years, under | ordinary circumstances, would not ! have taught me her real worth. "Mrs. Hyphen-Bonds will never for give me." said Hamilton dismally, "if she hears 'that I've been the cause, indirectly and innocently, of turning you away." "Mrs. Hyphen-Bonds need never know." replied the girl, smiling in scrutably. "In fact, it would be per fectly satisfactory and agreeable to me if she never heard at all."

AMUSEMENTS MAJESTIC To-morrow evening, Lecture by Armgaard Karl Graves, the super spy- Friday evening only, Ethel Barry more, in her new play, "The Shadow.'' ORPHEUM Every afternoon and evening, high clas« vaudeville. COLONIAL j Every afternoon and evening, vaude ville and pictures. Armgaard Karl Graves ; Armgaard Karl Graves, called by the i British press "the greatest spv of tho J century, ' because of his great' work as I a member of the German Secret Serv ice, will be at the 'Majestic to-morrow evening, and will give a gripping and sensational talk of the facts leading up r. Graves does not pretend to be a seer or an astrologist; the fact remains that he has foretold things and in every instance his predic tions have been carried out to the let ter. It will be an interesting treat to hear Graves when he talks here and the opportunity afforded to learn some of the real facts of the war should not tie passed by. Adv.* Ethel Barrymore Ethel Barrymore, in a new play, en titled "The Shadow/' will come to the Majestic theatre for one performance on Friday evening, January 15, her lo cal appearance being one of the few engagements preliminary to her mid winter season at (he New York Empire theatre. "The Shadow" is the work of Pario Nieeodemi and Michael Morton, the former is the author of severnl French successes produced by Madame Rejane, and the latter best known as the author of "The Yellow Ticket." Mis.s Barrymore's new play was orig inally written in French for the use of the famous European artiste, but was obtained by Charles Prohman for Miss I Barrymore \s use here at the present time, owing to the war conditions now prevailing in Paris. In its French orig inal the play was called "L'Ombre" and the Erglish translation has been made by Mr. Morton. Charles Froh man, needless to add, has surrounded Miss Barrymore with a notable com pany of players. Bruce Mcßae, re called for his earlier association with Miss Barrymore in "Sunday,"' "Lady Frederick," "Cousin Kate'' and others of her notable successes, has the lead ing male role in '' The Shadow.'' Other roles are in the hands of Grace Ellis ton, Ernest Lawford, Edward Fielding, Amy Veness and Vera Pole. The scenes of "The Shadow" are laid in the wealthy residential and art districts of Paris. Adv.* A 1 G. Field's Minstrels Al. G. Field is noted for his stage productions, but in all the years of his managerial reign he has put forth noth ing so timely as the closing stage pic ture which ends the entertainment. This scene is the ending of the 'Panam- Pacific Exposition number, with a great deal of Joe Coffman and Bert Swor's "Oh Yes" comedy to spice it. A bur lesque on the war with Mexico is also appropriate at this time. Field's Min strels come to the Majestic next Mon day, matinee and night.

It s a triple headline bill, with four other choice Keith hits supporting them. Not the leant of the attractions is Bert I.amont s Cowboy Minstrels, a troupo of seven westerners, who offer a festival of fun and harmony in a delightful stage .setting representing a realistic glimpse of the romantic West. A sec ond feature attraction is entitled "A Breath of Old Virginia," Joseph Hart's newest production, that is described by critics as being the season's most suc cessful scenic noveltv. This net is admirably mounted ami played by a cast of five prominent Broadway names, headed by Miss .rune Keith, latp feature of "Stop, Thief." Another act of headline importance is that of the Moneta Five, an exquisite vocal and instrumental act. Three women and two men comprise the quin tet and their offering, which is staged along the most modern lines, is an ar tistic treat. Smith, Cook and Brandea, two men and a woman, are to appear in a clever comedy variety net of singing, talking and dancing; the Three Gaud sclimidts will offer a spirited turn of l''r ver f un ani ' sensational tumbling; iola Gillette and Ned Monroe will pre sent a comic opera skit called "The Silent Opera.''
