I'lnrilnf n Thief by Mraini of a Howl ot
Water Wlint tlio Roy Saw Iti n Drop
of Ink llmv ii Dlalimiuit Woman W'm
Neatly Trapped.
Mnglclnns abound nt tho present tiny in
nil tho Kront centers of civilization chiro
mancer, spiritualists, seers of tlio crys
till, ninhntinas, tliought readers, astrol
ogers, Intoriiretors of tho cards nnd tho
colTco grounds. l)ut thoy gtvo no assist
nnco to tho police, says tho London Stand
aid. Tho dlvlno power whloh animates
them refuses to do such mean service. It
Is n pity. They may scorn tho profits
which would llow In, Hut philanthropy Is
their strong point In general, and they
could confer no benefit upon n fellow
creature moro heartily appreciated than
I ho restoration of his lost property. More
over, they nro nil anxious to uinko prose
lytes, and what means could ho more effect
ive? Savants nnd personages whoso con
version would bo a triumph hnvo pro
claimed that they nro ready to bollove nil
that Is asked of them If tho adept will per
form tlmtmlraolo. But tho spirits or some
thing forbid, und It Is no uso to arguo.
Fortunately thcro are magicians else
where whose protecting gonlus Is not so
particular, and very striking fonts have
been attributed to them by persons whoso
honesty and intelligence stand abovo ques
tion. Wo may take for oxniuplo tho ovl
den'3 of Mr. Swottenham, C. H., now
resident of I'ornk. Hopeless of recovering
some vnluablo proporty whloh had been
stolon from him, ho followed tho ndvlco of
friends and sought H wizard. Two pro
fossors assured him that thoy would do
his business "in a Jiffy," but thoy did
not keep appointments mado. A third
performed his operations prlvatoly nnd de
nounced tho thief to Mr. Swottenham,
who expressed n wish to soo tho process by
which ho had been identified. A largo
earthenware bowl was tilled with water
and a pleco of cotton was tied over tho top
as It wcro a drum. Mr. Swottenham
wrote tho nnmo of every porson who had
been In his houso when tho robbery wm
committed, folded up onoh paper and luld
ono of them on tho drum.
Ho wrote tho nanios In English, which
nssuredly no ono present oould under
stand, going Into a corner to do so, folded
tho slips oxnetly allko and shulllod them
together. Two men supported tho bowl
upon tho tips of their lingers, and tho wiz
ard read n chapter of tho Koran. Nothing
hnpponcd. So tho slip was withdrawn and
another substituted Four names thus dis
missed, a fifth was laid upon tho cotton.
"Tho rending had scarcely commoncod
when tho bowl began to turn slowly
round, tho supporters lotting their hnnds
go round with it until It twisted ltsolf out
ot their lingers and fell on tho floor with a
considerable hang and a great spluttering
of water through tho thin covor. It was
tho nnmo of tho person already mentioned
by the chief." Mr. Swottenham did not
tell him so, but linked for n repetition of
tho ordeal. Always tho samo result fol
lowed. "It was a curious colnoidonco cer
tainly. Tho nnnie disclosed was that of
the person whom thcro was most reason to
suspect, hut beyond that I learned noth
ing." Most peoplo would doscrlbo tho suc
cess In terms moro lmprosslvo than ourl
ous coincidence.
biino told an Interesting story In his
"Modern Egyptians," upon tho authority,
ns ho cxpretsly states, of Mr. Salt, her
majesty's consul gonernl. This gentleman
had been robbed. Ho sent for a famous
magician, who undertook to show tho
guilty person to any boy who hnd not
reached tho ago of puberty. A numbor of
boys were working In Mr. Salt's garden,
lie sent for one, thus satisfying himself
that collusion was impossible. Taking tho
child's right hand, ho drew a diagram up
on tho palm nnd In tho center of it mndo
a little pool of Ink Into this pool ho told
tho boy to look steadfastly. Thou ho
burned Incense and wrltton chnrms, nt tho
same tlmo commanding various objeota to
appear In tho Ink. Each of theso objects
tho boy saw, ns ho doelarcd. Finally tho
thief was summoned. "Ho doscrlbod his
stnturo, countonnnco nnd dross, snld ho
know him, and directly ran down Into tho
garden and apprehended ono of tho labor
ers, who, when brought boforo his mnstor,
Immediately confessed his guilt."
No ono could question thonbsoluto truth
of this story as told, nnd upon suoh au
thority, certified by n high official, It Is
very striking. Hut tho boy must hnvo beon
familiar with the Ink "business," by re
port nt least, seeing that it Is tho regular
practice of the magicians In Egypt Ho
ami all his fellows may very wi ll hnvo
kn m n who it was that stolo Mr. Salt's
g.Mjili,, and of course ho could doscrlbo n
laborer working In tho garden whom ho
had .nut quitted Tho things ho had seen
in the Ink wcro named it was only neces
sary, In fact, to sny "Yes." Ono must ask
why any robberies In Cairo remained un
detected If this professor could nnmo tho
thlof with the assistance of any little boy
who camo along.
Thcro were plenty of his sort. Lano had
soino fusclnntlng adventures with thorn,
as most pooplo know. And thoy ohnrged
u ery .-.mull feo. Hut wo do not hear that
plundered householders nppllcd-to thom.
Certainly there wns uu ngha of police who
had little need to uso miiglo; nntlvo
shrewdness served his turn. Onco upon a
tlmo n woman camu to a poor but honest
pawnbroker and borrowed BOO piasters
upon n head ornament this story also Is
Lano's The pawnbroker did not take
her name or address. When ho examined
tho nrtlclo, It proved to bo gilt brass. Ho
run walling to tho ngha, who pitied him,
but there was no clow to tho identity of
tho woman. It was a pretty puzzlo tho
most experienced and Ingenious of our
magistrates would hnvo "given It up."
Hut tho agha snld- "Go homo; tnko all
thy property away and lock thy shop. To
morrow bo thcro oarly, and when thou
hast opened thy shop, cry, 'Alas, for my
property I' Then tnko In thy hnnds two
clods nnd beat thyself with them, und cry,
'Ala, for tho property of othorsl' and
whoever says to thee, 'What Is the matter?'
do thou answer: 'A plcdgothnt I had from
a woman Is lost If It were my own, I
should not so much lament It,' " nnd so
on Tho pawnbroker did ns ho wns told.
Presently tho woman heard ot this and
enma on a donkey, demanding hor orna
ment. Unable to get It, she applied to tho
nghn for n summons, as wo say. "What
was thy nrnuiuent?" ho asked. ''A kurs
ef red Venetian gold," snld sho. "Wns It
llko this?" snld tho ngha, producing tho
brass artlclu. Tho woman wasduuifound
ed. Sho gave up tho 600 plasters, nnd tho
oxcciitlouer cut off hor head' on thu Hu
meylet within mi hour.

"Wild Hill wns n ilosporndo nnd n dim
gerotis one, Although I must sny for him
thnt ho did his killing chiefly among bad
men. Hut nt I'locho, Nov., ho submitted
to arrest ns peiicofully ns n lmnb whnn Ku
Beno Hlnlr enmo for him. I forget wlint
UlU hnd been doing, but thel'luche pouiilo
didn't want him tlioro, and Ilhiir started
In tho stngo with him for Cnrson City."
Colonel S. C. Dixon, n southwestorn
mlno owner, wns tolling of old N'evodn
days nt nn up town hotel, nnd his subject
nt the moment wns Kugeno Hlnlr, n guard
nnd messenger for tho Wolls-Fargo Kx
press compnny nt 1111 enrly tlmo.
"Tho prisoner wns hnndotiilod, of
course, nnd Hlnlr snt beside him In tho
conch. It wns generally tliought thnt Hill's
friends would try to resono him somo
where 011 tho road, whloh led Hlnlr to wy
to him:
" 'Hill, I'vo hnnrd thnt your friends nro
going to get you nwny from 1110 between
hero nnd Cnri-oii If they onn. Ijlhely
enough thoy will, but It's fnir to tell you
thnt It'll never do you imy good, for I
shnll shoot you dond nt the first break thoy
mnko. It's well to hnvo tho matter under
stood betwoon us.'
" 'All right, Hlnlr,' sold Wild Hill in n
cheerful way, but tho olllccr's remark set
him to thinking. As they onmo nonr Klko
ho grew unensy. l'looho wns not n com
fortable or snfo town for Hill to bo In ut
that tlmo, but beforu thoy got to the sta
tion ho uslod Hlnlr to tuko him buck
thoro.
" 'Tho fact Is I'vo got friends nt Elko,
nnd I'm nfrnld If wo go thoro they'll put
tip n move to rosoue mo, ' ho snld. 'If they
try it, I know you'll do Just ns you snld. I
think my chuiicea tiro better to go back
than go nhond.'
"Hut word got to tho friends somehow
of what would hnppon If thoy interfered,
nnd Hluir took his prisoner to Cnrsou with
no trouble. rf
"Eugeno Hlnlr was from tho stato of
Mnlno nud ciimo to Nevada nmong tho
pioneers. Ho wns very tall, long limbed
nnd muscular, quick of motion, rendy nnd
pcrfoctly brnve. His killing of Hill Davis,
tho stugo robber, wns nn exploit that show
ed his wonderful couruge mid rondlness.
Dnvls had been the louder In the grcnt
Hlrdsoyo robbory, lu which a Central Pa
clflo train was stopped between Hono nnd
Tnhoo nnd ablghnul made by tho bandits.
Dnvls was enptured and tried for this, but
by rovoallng where ?5n,000 of the plunder
was hlddon ho got oil with a yonr or two
In tho penitentiary. Ho took to the road
again after his reload, nnd one night, as
tho stngo rattled along botwoon Ploeheand
Elko, with Hlnlr sitting on the box beside
tho driver, Hill Davis, with 11 confederate,
appeared ot tho roadside nnd drew down u
shotgun on tho niesiengor.
" 'Hands up, Hlnir!' ho called. 'I'vo got
you!'
"Thcro was no tlmo for Hlnir to uso o
weapon, but ho rolled oft tho conch to tho
ground on tho farther sldo before the rob
uor could flro. Ho dashed round tho tenr
of tho couch to Davis, wronted tho shotgun
from tho robber's hands und shot him dead
with his own weapon. The other robber
ran, nnd Hlnlr clinked him four hours
through tho sngobrush, capturing him nt
Inst. You enn Judge by this what kind of
limn Hlnlr was, and his killing of Davis
was only ono of mnny dendly shooting af
fairs ho had In dlschnrgo of his duty. Ho
killed so mnny mon on tho Wolls-Fargo
lines nnd upset so many schemes of rob
bory that it seemed certain, sooner or
later, that ho would bo killed In rovongo.
To savo his Ufa tho express company re
tired him with ii pension, and hosettlod In
Plocho. Aftor his long career of danger
on tho road he lived quiotly nt Piooho to
dlo nt Inst from injuries received through
his being run over by n load of wood.
"By the wuy, I hnvo heard tho story of
tho billing 6f tho dosporndo, Sum Hrown,
from tho Hps of .Van Sickle, tho ranchman
who shot htm. You know perhaps what a
terror Hrown wns In tho early history of
Novnda. Ho was naturally bad. Murdor
was it pnstlmo, nnd to dtsombowol a man
In a barroom wus part of a plensnnt even
ing's entertainment to Long Hnlrod
Brown. There wns no law In those dnys,
and a man llko he oould run his eoursu a
long tlmo without punishment. Hrown
was ono of o gang who operated along tho
main trull between Carson City and tho
Utah lino robbing emigrants coming over
land to California. Van Sickle's ranch, 12
miles bolow Carson, wos u sort of way stn
tlon or hotel for travelers. Hrown thought
the ranchman hnd ill used him in somo
transaction nud ho let his feelings bo
known, so when ho rodo up to Van Sloklo's
houso ono afternoon tho owner thought It
prudont to hail him from thodoorwuy ond
ask what ho wanted.
" 'I want youl' growled Snm Hrown In
n tono thnt mado Van Sickle turn baak
into tho houso In a hurry. Hrown sont a
shot after him n3 ho wont through tho
doorway and then dismounted, tied bis
liorao to n post and went into tho houso to
find tho ranchman. He got as far as the
dining room, nnd, not llnding Van Sickle,
como bauk, stopped for u drink ut a llttlo

CAPTURE OF PORTO BELLO.
Mnrgan I'orccrl Monk 11ml Nuns to rincfl
ScrIIiik '.mlilcrs Arrntnst the Walls.
Prank H. Stockton writes of "Tho Hue
oaneors of Our Coast" In St. Nicholas.
Writing of Morgan nnd his plratioal orew,
Mr. Stookton suyn:
Tho buooaiieers found Porto Hello a
hard nut to crack. They landed ant
marched upon the town, which was de
fendod by several forts or castloB. Even
when ono of those had boon captured by
assault und blown up with all ltsgurrlsoti,
who hud been taken prisoners, still the
town was not Intimidated. Tho governor
vowed ho would nover iturronder, but
wuuld dlo fighting to tho lust. In vain
tho plrutes made dospernto efforts to cap
ture tho principal fort, und Morgan began
to despair. The gnrrlson whs strong and
well commanded, and whenever the pi
rates attempted to sonlo tho wall they were
shot down or tire pots full of powder
mixed with stones and other mlssllos were
hurled upon them.
At i.t tho wily Morgan had nn Idea.
Ho sot his mon to work to mnko somo lad
dors long enough to roach tho top of the
walls nnd wldo enough to allow three or
four men to go up abreast. If ho oould
got those proporly set up, his crew of des
poruto tiger oats oould muko a combined
rush und got over the walls, nut It wns
not Morgan's plan that these men should
loso their lives In setting up theso bid
ders. Ho hud captured some convents in
tho suburbs of tho town, with 11 number
of nuns and monks, and ho now ordorud
theso poor oreutures, tha women as well
ns the men, to plnoo tho ladders against
uio wans, uoiievlng that tho Spanish gov
ernor would not allow b s soldiers to Are
upon those lnnooent persons.
But tho governor was determined to de
fend tho town no matter who hnd to suf
fer, and so tho soldlors llred at the nuns
and tho monks Just as though thoy were
buccaneers or any other enemies. The
poor creatures cried out In terror and beg
ged their friends not to lire upon tlium,
but tho soldiers obeyed tho command of
tho governor, and the pirates were cliimi
behind thorn nnd threatening them with
their pistols, und so tho poor nuns nnd
monks had to press forward, mnny of
them dropping dead or wounded. Thov
continued their work until tho ladders
wore plncod, und then over tho walls went
tho pirates witli yells and howls of tri
umph, nnd It wus not long nfter thnt the
town wus taken. Tho bravo governor died
fighting in tho principal fort, and tho clti
rens and soldiers all united in tho most
vigorous defense, but It wns useless.

A New Obstacle.
The old obstacles that used to prevent
the marriage of loving couples are out of
date. The blood and-thunder villian is a
myth nowadays. The cruel father is only
a tradition. Distance, nbsence and ship,
wreck in these days of cheap, safe and
swift transmutation do not count. The
new obstacle is a common sense one. It
is ill-health on one iide or the other, and
sometimes on both
Men nowadays hesitate to marry a wom
an, no matter how Kautiful, no matter how
attractive, or interesting, or witty, if she is
a sulTcrer from ill-health. All men worth
having desire happy, healthy children.
Any woman who will, may fit herself for
the duties of wifehood and the exalted func
tion of motherhood. Or. Pierce's Pavorite
Prescription banishes nil hindrance in the
nature of local ill-health. It gives health,
power and capacity to tin- delicate and im
portant organs concerned in wifehood and
maternity. It correct!, all displacements,
allays Inflammation, heals ulceration, stops
exhausting drnins and soothes pain. It
prepares for natural, hialthy motherhood.
It makes maternity easy and safe and al
most painless. It insutes a new-comer
constitutionally strong and able to with
stand the usual ills of babyhood. It is the
greatest of nerve tonics and restoratives.
Medicine dealers sell it and an honest
dealer will not urge a substitute upon you.
' After sufleriilK untold tortures," writes Mrs.
J I'ergtison, of llox 39, Douglas station, Selkirk
Co., Manitoba, " I tlisnk God 1 found relief aud
cure In Dr Pierce's Pavorite Prescription."
The profit side of life is health. The bal
ance is written in the rich, red, pure blood of
health. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure
