The - I
Incendiary
By EVERETT P. CLARKE
I was'in a criminal courtroom one
day among the spectators when I saw
a man sentenced for Incendiarism for
five years. His wife was in court, and
the scene between them after the sen
tence had been passed was heartrend
ing. 1 saw the man's face but a few
moments, and it was distorted by ngo-
By. but It was Impressed upou my
mind.
The crime had been committed in the
towu of Hilton, which was the county
seat. I lived in Hilton, but had no
acquaintance with the convict. Sev
eral fires bad occurred at short Inter
vals. One night a citizen saw a mnn
setting fire to the building. By the
llglit of the newly kindled flame the
citizen got a glimpse of the Incendi
ary's face, but before he could reach
him he had disappeared in the dark
ness. A few days later he met the
man Mansfield* I had seen sentenced
In the street and recognized him for
the firebug. The result was convic
tion.
Within a few months after Mansfield
bad been taken to the penitentiary a
series of fires occurred in Allanville.
•ome twenty tulles from Hilton. I hnd
meanwhile removed to Allanville and
wa» Interested In these fires, naturally
connecting them with those'that had
occurred in Hilton. Had I not seen
the perpetrator of the incendiarism in
Hilton sent to prison for Ave years 1
wonld have connected liini with the
fires in Allanvllle. Indeed. I made in
quiries as to where Mansfield was and
was told that he was serving out liis
time.
A number of citizens of Allanviile
volunteered to watch at night, and 1
was one of them. There were twelve
of us, and we divided otir number into
three watches of four each. One night
or, rather, morning, for it was 2
o'clock. I saw a man walUlug some
distance ahead of me. I followed him.
but before I caught up with him I met
one of the watchers. On asking him
about the party ahead of me. whom
he must have passed, he said that he
knew him well. His name was Simp
son. He was troubled with insomnia,
and, not being able to sleep, he would
go owt and walk the streets.
I was perfectly satisfied with this
explanation and went back to my beat
Notwithstanding our vigilance the
fires continued, and we failed to be on
the ground when they were lighted.
They were not very frequent, and some
| of the watchers began to think that
[ occurring as they did was merely a
coincidence. One after another gave
up watching till there were but half a
dozen of us left,
j I met Simpson on several occasions,
bat never in sufficient light to see his
face. Ope night when walking with a
fellow watcher Simpson passed us.
My companion bade him good evening,
spoke a few words to him. and we
pnssed on. We were near a street
lamp when we met him. and I got a
j glimpse of his partially lighted face.
I Something within me. some psycho
logical working, seemed to connect
Simpson with the flres. I said nothing
to my companion of my feeling, but
resolved that 1 would devote my fu
ture watchings to Mr. Simpson. But I

son's housr. On the third niftht 1 saw |
hltn go out and shadowed him. He
walked about aimlessly for awhile, i
then returned to his home. I was so j
far satisfied that he was what he was
considered to be that 1 gave up my
purpose of shndowlnu him. But 1 1
could not get rid of the Impression I j
had received.
One morning about dawn when 1 1
wns about to go home from my watch
I saw one of our party coming with a I
policeman who had a mnn by the arm.
I waited till they came up, and, be
hold, the prisoner was Simpson! I was
told that he had been caught setting |
fire to a building.
The town of Allanville was greatly
shocked to learn that its respected
fellow citlr.en was a firebug. He was
tried for his crime and adjudged In
sane on the testimony of alienists,
who considered his Insomnia the cause 1
of his insanity. He was acquitted on
the promise of his family to send him
to a private sanitarium.
When 1 first saw Simpson in the
light 1 recognized— or thought I rccog- j
nlsed—Mansfield, who had been con
victed of the same crime at Hilton.
Then I begnn to snspect that Simpson '
was a different peiuou and was the
real criminal ill bolh cases. I asked
If he had ever lived at Hilton and j
was told that lie had been staying
there temporarily at the time the fires j
had occurred there. This settled the ,
matter In my mind.
1 w?nt at once to Hilton, called on
Mrs. Mansfield and told her that 1
thought 1 had proof of her husband's
innocence. The happiest moment of
my life was when, on telling her my j
story. I saw her face light up with a
tniugled relief and joy.
Mansfield, on his inuocetice being es
tablished. was pardoned by the gover
nor of the state, which was a quicker
way to set him free than a new trial.
If the scene of Mansfield being torn ■
from his family was heartrending, my
happiness at having reunited him with
his family was ecstatic. We are all
now bosom ffiends.
ORDER OF THE BATH.
It Was a Realistic Ceremony In the
Tims of Charles 11.
The last Knights ot the Hath made
according to the ancient forms were at
the coronation of Charles IL. when
various rites and ceremonies,.one of
which was bathing, were enforced.
According to Froissart, the court bar
ber prepared a bath, and the candidate
for membership in the order, having
been undressed by his esquires, was
thereupon placed in the bath, his cloth
es and collars being the perquisites
of the barber. He was then removed
from the water to the words "May this ,
be an honorable bath to you" and was J
placed In a plain bed quite wet and i
naked to dry.
As soon as he was quite dry he was ,
removed from the bed, dressed in new
and rich apparel and conducted by
his sponsors to the chapel, where he <
offered a taper to the honor of God and
n penny piece to the honor of the king, i
Then he went to the monarch and, i
kneeling before him. received from the
royal sword a tap on the shoulder, the
king exclaiming. "Arise. Sir ,** and
then embraced him. saying, "Be thon
n good knight aud true."—London

"Choir." %
Churchgoers who follow the service
In their prayer books would certainly
miss the "dear old phrase" concerning j
"quires and places where they siug," t
and in time the old fasiiioued "quires" '
may be made new fashioned again by
the coming of rationalized spelling.
"Choir" was a most unnecessary out
rage upon the language. The old Eug
llsh "quer" tir "qnere" became quite
naturally "quyer" or "quire," and so
it remnined until the end of the seven
teenth century, when somebody geems
to have introduced "choir" because it
looked more like the French "clmeiir,"
as if that were a valid reason. There
could have been no danger of confus
ing a church "quire" and a "quire" of i

French "cahler." probably from Latin '
"quaternarlum." a collection of four
leaves.—London Standard.
Seventeenth Century Sheep.
"The best and biggest sheep." says '
Fuller in his famous "Worthies of j
England." published in the year ICH2, j
"are those of the vale of Aylesbury, In '
Buckinghamshire, where It is nothing |
to give £lO or more for a breed ram. I
So that should a foreigner hear of the :
price thereof he would gu-.»SB that ram
rather to lip some Norman engine of j
battery than the creature commonly so
called. Foreigners." he adds, "mnch
admire our English sheep because they
do not, as those beyond the seas, fol
low their shepherds like a pack of'
dogs, but wander wide abroad."
