Captain Jam Richmond waa ush
rd Into the roominstiene-e, andtho
door cloacd after him. It waa not the
first time by a Rood many that ha had
crossed the threshold, but he had not
before had any dealing with the prev
ent home secretary.
"Captain Richmond?" the secretary
queried with a quick scrutiny of the.
face of hla visitor, who returned-ths
look M he Inclined hla head. "Sit
down, sir. I am pleased to meet you.
1 understand that you wcro commis-
loned by my predecessor to Inquire
Into the abuses In connection with tbs
control of Dlackenham prison, and that
your inquiry wee entirely successful.
I believe" with a smile "that you
rere sentenced to four years, and
ere liberated on a ticket-of-leave by
order of my predecessor, after eleht
months' incarceration. Have you since
reported yourself to the police, as you
are bound to by the conditions of the
ticket to do?"
"No," Captain Richmond replied, "I
have not reported myself."
"Good." returned the secretary, "that
will facilitate matters. I wish you, if
you are at liberty, and not disinclined
to return to prison life, to enter Shash
nal prison, and see if you can get to the
root of the mystery there. If you care
to take up the matter, and are success
ful, you will not And this 'office un
grateful. When will you be ready tor
arrest?"
"The day after tomorrow, If that will
suit"
"Very well. Be In Chandos street
between S and 4 o'clock on Wednesday
morning, with a chisel and a few other
bandy burglar's tools in your pockets.
Sergeant Crame will be there to ar
rest you, as before. I will arrange
that you serve your sentence at Shach
nal." "How shall I commuunlcate with
you?"
"One of the visiting Justices will
make a point of seeing you privately
whenever he visits Shashnal," the sec
retary replied. "You will tay only as
little aa necessary to the Justice; what
ver you tell him I shall know the same
day, so that if you will he ablo to see
me with very little delay. Have I
made by wishes clear?"
"Perfectly so, sir."
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Nothing, unless you can expedite
my arrival at Shashnal. I am Itching
to get there."
"You are Interested, eh? Well. I
cannot do much to expedite your sen
tence, but what can be done Judicious
ly shall, I promlBe you. The prelimi
naries must, of course, be extremely
annoying. I may add," the secretary
aid, holding out bis hand, "if you car
ry this matter through successfully
you may rely upon any influence I may
have In the matter of a queen'a mes
aengprshtp, for which I see your name
bos been down some considerable
time."
"I'll get to the root of the matter,"
Captain Richmond muttered, as he
walked toward the Strand, "if It has a
root?"
"Thlrly-nlne! Do you call that the
way to roll your bed?"
"What's the matter with it?"
"No back questions, please!" shouted
the warden, "or, as sure as your name's
'Arris I'll dock your grub! Roll that
bed, now, or report! Next time,
mind, report!"
He slammed the door to and went
down the corridor.
Thirty-nine untied blandly after him.
"When I get out of this and that
man Is dismissed and I'll take good
care he Is I'll waylay him and give
him one of the soundest hidings he ever
had. . The question Is, when shall I
Kt out of here? Five days of the five
years gone, and I don't see anything
queer. Still there's a decent balance
left for discoveries."
The cell door swung open and an
other warden looked in,
"Thirty-nine, talking! Won't do, my
lad won't do!"
"Saying my prayers," replied Thlrty
alne. "Say 'em to yourself, my lad!"
And the door slammed to again.
Early in the evening of the same day
the head warden looked Into cell thirty
Bine. "All right?" he inquired genially, aa
be looked Thirty-nine carefully over.
"Yes, thank you," the convict re
sponded wltn some surprise.
"Fell yourself as comfortable as at
Blackenham? 'Orrld 'ole, Blackenham!
Nearly aa bad for the officers as the
prisoners. Was there four years my
self." Thirty-nine pricked up hla ears
nervously,
. "My name's Williams," the warden
continued with Increasing affability.
"'Remember me? No? Well, p'r'aps
Hot Can't say I remember you. But
we see so many new faces while you
don't, so I thought you might remem
ber me. Stop, though. Weren't you
In for coining at Blackenham? 'Ouse
breakln, eh? Well, well, every man
to 'Is trade. But I seemed to connect
your face with a prisoner wevad for
colnln' on a large scale quite a small
caint 'e'd been. Sure you never tried
your 'and at colnlu'? No? Well, well,
It must 'ave been my fancy, then.
Somebody something like you, I sup
pose. Night!"
"What did he come for?" Thirty
Blue asked himself. "Clearly he had
some definite object. I must cultivate
tor friend Williams.
But Williams did not show himself
Reported. S
again for some days, and then adopted
an entirely different manner,
II.
Thirty-nine had been In Shasnat pris
on about three week, when the Jus
tices paid their usual visit. He had
not long to wait for his own call.
A tall, thin, lawyer-like man entered
the cell, dismissed Williams with a
gesture, and turned to the convict. He
drew Thirty-nine to the further end
of the cell.
"1 am directed by the home offlco to
carry any communications you have
to make," he said, in a whlspar. "I
have pen aud paper, if you want to
write. But be prompt." .
Thirty-nine took the sheet of note
paper and the fountain pen, and
wrote a few hurried linos:
"I want a complete list of convic
tions agalnet vrlsoners 78 and 24, now
bere; also any other facts bearing upon
the nature of their crimes. Sooner,
the better. Convey through chaplain,
who Is honest."
He dried the note on the slip of
blotting paper between tho leaves and
handed it to the Justice.
A moment later he was alone In his
cell again.
"It sounds a wild notion, I must ad
mit," he thought, "a very wild notion.
Perhaps I am wrong. But it Is queer
that 24 and 7S are never at labor, and
that they alone are never taken near
the governor's house. There may be
a doren reasons for it, und it may have
no possible connection with Williams'
first visit to me, but there is something
radically wrong and 1 see no other
peg on which to hang my suspicion
than the privileges of these two men
end what Williams said to me. He has
never given me or anyone In my hear
ing a civil word or look Mnce."
Thirty-nine had to wait until the
next visit from the Justices for his an
swer from the home offlce, and In the
meantime he had discovered little that
supported his suspicions. But the let
ter the Justice brought htm gave him
the utmost satisfaction.
It gave a list of convictions against
the two prisoners whom Thirty-nine
had Inquired about. Starting as a boy,
with petty larceny, Seventy-eight had
turned to burglary, purse snatching,
long-firm frauds and coining.
Twenty-four, a younger man.was the
son of the notorious "Jim Crow." His
first conviction waa for stealing lead
piping from an empty house. He was
known to have assisted his father in
extensive counterfolt-coinlngscheimes
and, upon the death of "Jim Crow" In
herited 2000 or 8000, with which
he started himself as a bookmaker.
He lost his money, and waa mobbed for
"welshing" at the Llverpol meeting In
18 . Next he waa arrested for at
tempting to pass bad money In Not
tingham, where a large quantity of
base coin had been circulating for a
period which corresponded with the
length of time he had been in the town.
Later he waa sentenced to four years
for passing base coins.
"Any message to take back? You
had better not keep this paper," said
the Justice.
"No. Will you return It to the of
fice? I will write a message back."
' He took a pencil from his visitor, and
wrote:
"Endeavor to trace movements of
every coiner who has passed through
here movements since they left. Want
my discharge, for time being."
Three days later a warden entered
the cell of Thlrty-ntne and threw
down upon the pallet a bundle of
clothes. They were faose in which
Thirty-nine had entered the prison.
"You've got to change an' come to
the governor's," he said.
Thirty-nine changed and followed
the warden down the corridor, acrocs
the central hall, Into the governor's
office.
The governor sat at his table, and
two men in ordinary clothes stood by.
"You're transferred to Portland,
Thirty-nine, under an order from tho
home office," said the governor. "These
officers are here to fetch you. If you
give me your word not to molest them
or attempt to escape you shall not be
handcuffed." .
"I won't get up to no game, sir, and
thank you," Thirty nine replied.
He waa struck by the fact that his
escort were in plain clothes. But It
occurred to him that prisoners were not
then conveyed from prison to prison
in their convict dress, as had been the
rule, and it was therefore only consist
ent that wardens should not be in their
uniform, or the spirit of the reform
would be lost.
His custodian ushered him into a fly
that waa waiting In the prison yard,
and, as they took their scats facing
him, the elder man smiled, and said
quietly:
"I expect you can sea through
this, sir?"
"I think so," Thirty-nine replied.
"We shall take you to the station, if
you've no objection, or the the driver
may smell a rat There la a first-class
to London, and two sovereign I waa
Instructed to hand you for your re
turn expenses."
They alighted at the station and
passed through the booking lobby.
"That Is your train waiting, air,"
said the second officer, "so we'll wish
you a respectful good morning. We're
not returning till a later train."
"Good morning," replied Captain
Richmond, as the train moved out of
the station.
Arrived at the metropolitan termi
nus, ex-Thlrty-nlne got Into a hansom
and drove away to hla chambers. Aa
hour later, attired la a smart morning
suit, hi was shaking hands with tbs
home secretary,
"You .were In a hurry to get out," the
secretary said, with a deprecating
smile. "I'm afraid you cannot have
discovered much In the time."
"I don't think I could have learnt
more had I remained," Richmond re
sponded. "I have drawn some surpris
ing conclusions, and the test must be
put from outside. I have only to wait
now for the reports concerning the
movements of coiners who have passed
through Bhasnal."
"Here are the records of three canes.
I can got others for you, If necesasry.
Why you pick upon coiners I don't
understand." -
"On the other hand, these records,"
Richmond returned, a slight color
mounting to his face, "appear to con
firm my suspicions. Does It not strike
you as being strange, sir, that each of
these men left the country almost Im
mediately upon being released from
Sliasnal? I note one went to Australia,
where he bought a small farm, which
he has since successfully cultivated;
another went to America, where be
quickly ran through a sum of money
wnich was considerable for a men of
his position, and then turned his atten
tion to forgery; the last went out to
Durban, bought the good will of a
small public house, and drank himself
to death. In this taste for emigration,
which seems to have been Inculcated at
Shasnal to one convicted for coining,
I seem to see a great deal to support
my conclusions."
"Which are?" Interorgated the sec
retary. .
"That there Is a secret mint at
Shashnal."
"Preposterous!" the minister ejacu
ulated. "A mint In one of her maj
esty's prisons? Dear, dear! You must
iii.iiu ut bu.ethtn muiv llkeiy mure
possible!"
"Pardon me; but I cannot think of
anything more possible to a man In
the governor's position, who had the
instincts of an enterprising criminal.
He has every facility immunity from
raids, unlimited strong cells, which
could readily be turned Into work
thops, a pretty regular succession of
skilled coiners, whose assistance could
be bought for leniency and a little
money to start them on their release
from prison, and whose secrecy could
be absolutely relied upon."
"Looked at like that, It appears pos
sible; but It is rather risky to base
conclusions upon mere possibilities,"
tho secretary replied, with quiet cyni
cism. "I don't at least, not entirely. War
der Williams attempted to discover
whether I had done any coining. He
vas remarkably genial until he learned
that I had not, when he became surly
r.lmost to brutality. He was remark
r.bly genial to Seventy-eight and Twenty-four,
who were the only men In
Shashnal who had any coining. These
two men were never In the labor yard.
Why? They always looked pictures of
health. Time after time I saw them
enter or leave the entrance of the base
ment cells, at the side of the governor's
Louse, which were condemned three
years ago aa unhealthy,"
"Ah! we have something tangible
In the use of the condemned basement
cells," the secretary said thoughtfully.
"That matter shall be Inquired into at
once. The best thing you can do is
to send In your report, Captain Rich
mond, and then we can duly consider
the matter."
Ho rose, blandlly, and held out hla
hand.
Next day Captain, Richmond received
a check for hla services. He tore it up
lit disgust, and then wished he bad not.
He was still debating In his mind
whether he could ask for another check
when he received an official document
appointing him a queen'a messenger.
For a time he was putzled to know
why he had been appointed. But he
was not kept long in the dark, for he
was called to the home office, where
the secretary graciously apologized for
having scouted the coining theory.
Two prison commissioners had visited
Shashnal to Inquire why the basement
rolls were being used, It waa denied
that such waa the case. The commis
sioners demanded to look over the
Iftcement, No one knew where the
keys were, Other obstacles were put
In the commissioners' path, but every
thing was overruled and the basement
opened by force,
"Disceveiles were made which left
pu doubt that your conclusion waa only
tfto accurately drawn," said the secre
tary, hovering between confidence and
reticence, "The governor resigned be
lore the commissioners left, and the
deputy governor waa appointed as a
stop-gap, The same evening a raid
waa made cpon a pawnbrokers fbop
in Mile End, Ue.il uy Warder Wllllama'
li other, and between 400 and 600
of base coin was found there, ptrange
to say, the police have been Interested
In that shop for some time, owing to
the frequent complaints of sailors, who
largely frequent It, that bad money
bad there been foisted upon them. The
business was an excellent medium for
passing the coins, We are Inquiring
what uthes methods were also adopted,
Considerable changes will be made at
Shashnal, but it is undesirable that
the matter should become public
knowledge," the secretary concluded,
"The profits appear to have been very
considerable, and the coins are really
masterpieces of their kind."

sad la Heetore the Vultt Tluaii,
The following paper Is from the Col
lege of Agriculture, Cornell universi
ty: "What shall we eat? What shaU
we drink? Wherewithal shall we be
clothed?" The last question we shall
leave. The first two are a perplexity
to the cook, to the marketer, to the
diner with an elaborate menu before
him, and to one whose bill of fare af
fords but a meagre meal. The house
keeper says, what is there in the house
to prepare, and what will the famliy
like? Appetites are fickle; fruit agrees
with some and Injures others, some
thrive on buckwheat, others avom It.
The nature of the occupation should
modify the diet. A woman Is In the
house most of tne day about her work
and needs different food from that of
her husband, who may have active ex
eiclse In the open air. The children,
growing and perhaps In school, need
a special diet. Some member of the
family may have purely sedentary hab
its, and the diet of the active, outdoor
luborer is entirely unfitted to his needs.
The woman who has access to a good
market finds her problems hard enough
tut the farmer'a wife has a much less
variety from which to select her die
tary, although the well-filled potato
bin, the bairels of apples, the shelves
of Jellies and canned fruit, the pans
o( rich milk and cream, the fresh eggs,
and always available poultry may
well be the envy of the city marketer.
Ho.vever, the latter Is greeted with
fre-sh fruit and greenhouse vegetables
l.i wirter.wllh all kinds of meats and
fish, and (he possibilities of cream,
epgs and poultry from the country.
The woman who is not near the mar
kets varies her menu with a round of
vjtlts to the pork barrel, ihe smoke
house and the corned beef 3ipply, re
turning ever and anon to the pork
barrel. If her pin money is not too
dependent upon the labors of the hens,
eggs form a most acceptable variation
to the menu, and If tho creamery does
rot make too great a demand, fresh
milk and cream are a most satisfying
part of her bill of fare.
We must eat, first, to form and
maintain the fluids and tissue of th.j
Lody; second, to furnish fuel to yield
heat and energy. Food must supply
the material which Is consumed with
every motion of the body and the en
ergy for Intellectual power.
All energy, olmer Intellectual or that
manifested In physical action, ccmcs
from the stored up energy In the food.
This is obtained by the chemical
changes which transform the food
Into substances less complex in the'.r
composition. One's proper food should
contain the materials which will build
up the wasted muscles and best sup
ply this eaorgy. All food raateiliils
do not eoutnln proper e tmnts for the
fulfilling of these two general func
tions. l or the building end repairing of
muscles and bones and Hipplylng boat
and energy tho food must contain til
iroU'lu. ii') fats, (?) carbohydrate
and (4) ash.
Protein Is that part of food whloh
nourles tho blood and th-j muscles
I:; pma' repairs tho wi'tc cf
tho body. Protein always contains
the element nitrogen, and nitrogen Is
always a constituent of the blood, the
muscle and the bone. It Is the only nu
triment which can serve for the build
ing and repair of the body. At the
same time It supplies energy. But un
der ordinary conditions It Is too ex
pensive to be used chiefly for this pur
pose. Examples of protein are found
In lean meat, peas, beans, lentils, etc.
Fats and oils supply heat and ener
gy. They also aid in digestion. The
fat of meats often so carelessly re
moved and Ignored, butter, oils of
vegetables, etc., may serve for fur
nishing the fat stored in the body or
used as a source of heat Of the meats,
veal has the least fat and pork the
moat Cheese contains as much fat
as It does protein. The greater the
percentage of water found in animal
foods, the less the amount of fat
This group includes the starches
sugars, and gums and similar chemi
cal bodies, substances which, like fat,
furnish heat and energy to the body.
Carbohydrates contain no nitrogen
whatever. Therefore, they cannot re
place protein as a tissue builder. Car
bohydrates and fat are needed by the
body and the amount required Is larg
er than the amount of protein. Car
bohydrates supply heat and energy to
the body the same as fats, but to a
less degree. For the energy and heat
needed for the body, about two and
one-fourth pounds of starch and augar
equal a pound of fat Fata and car
bohydrates are often called energy
ylelders since they are used to keep
the body warm, and to enable it to
perform work. Protein also furnish
es energy. It Is thus seen to serve
a dunl purpose.
Ash, salt or mineral substances
Every well regulated diet should con
tain the mineral substancea necessary
for the building and repairing of the
bones and teeth and required In other
ways. Milk, meats, cereal products,
vegetables, especially the leaves, all
contain phosphorus and lime which go
to make the mineral part of the bones.
Chemically pure sugars, starches, and
fats contain no ash whatever, hence'
a diet entirely of these substances, if
such a thing were possible, would fur
nish no food for the growth and re
pair of the bones. Neither would It
supply the protein which Is essential.
Tbo ordinary mixed diet, it Is gener
ally considered, contains a sufficient
amount of asb constituent for tbs
sesds of tbs body.
Foods have a Varying proportion of
teniae (portions unsulted for eating),
fiom the jO percent in a round of
beef to the 60 percent of fish. Exam
ples of refuse are found in bones of
meat, oyster shells, apple cores, peach
pltL, orange skins, etc.
A large and necessary proportion of
the weight of the body Is made up of
water, and water must be furnished
to the syrtem In foods and In bever
ages In order to keep up the supply.
It Is not usually taken Into considera
tion as a nutrient Ordinary foods
contain water In Juice or In particles
too small to be seen. Some Is always
chemically combined With other con
stituents. Tho balanced ration should contain
the proportion of protein, carbohy
drates aad lata whic h will produce the
bent results. Occupation, temperament,
climate, personal peculiarities of di
gestion all vary to an 'extent whlcb
mtikes It ImpoBlu.e to form a fixed
rule for all cases, although general
tverages have been adopted. The
ihunges which food undergoes In the
body are largely due to oxidation.
Therefore, from tho amount of heat
which a food Is capable of yielding
may be estimated the amount ot its
alie for work.
The standard of the heat production
Is the caloric or the amount ot heat
required to raise the temperp.turo of
ono grRm of wnter 1 degree C. The
Ftnndard amounts ot the different nu
tr'llve constituents required dally by
a man of average build and weight in
fer with various authorities so .a- as
fat and carbohydrates ore concerned,
although the amount of protein is sim
ilar In all. The standard proposed by
Prof. Atwater for ft man at moderately
active muscular work requires 125
grams protein, with fnt ond carbohy
drates enough to make the energy
value 3400 calorics.
No one article contains the different
nutritive constituents iu proper pro
portions, nor do we consume our food
In the form of pure rroteln. ctrbohy
il rates and fat. Allowance must also
le made for Imperfect digestion nnd
for waste, cs for exampla, the potato
pared befoie boiling, where there Is
a waste of about 35 percent, and sir
loin eteak with a waste of i5 percent.

One of ihe rules of the French line
of ocean steamships Is that steerage
passengers shall not bo allowed to
carry aboard1 any of their vessels,
matches or other articles which might
menace the safety ot the ship. Tho
only way to make sure of this Is to
search the pockets of the passengers.
Naturally, the victims ot the rule en.
ter strenuous objections of this kind
of hold-up, and resist the intrusion ot
other men's hands into tbelr pockets.
Tbe Gasconge recently sailed from
New York, and when the searching
for matches, dynamite and gunpowder
In the pockets of the steerage passen
gers was In progress It sounded like
an East Bids f lot. 1

Japsn's Democratic Emperor.
There Is no tiarbarto splendor about
tbe court ot Japan, nor does the em
peror inslat on fontistio forms ot bom
sge. He is Just a plain Individual. His
guests he receives standing, and he en
ters freely Into conversation with all.
There is scarcely a subject that does
not Interest him or one which he Is
not well Informed. A delightful host.
It is his custom to surround himself
With clever men men who are tba
ahinlng lights ot their profession. En
gineers, artists, musicians, writers,
soldiers, scientists every class of
parson who has won diiatlm-Mnn c wel
come at the royal table, for it Is on
or tne characteristics of his majesty
