New York Weekly, 1A i ij "THE CAPTAIN." "Take care of it, Hugh." ."' , "All right, sir. Good morning." , Randall put on hla hat, and passing through tbe bank, took his way Into the town with 11,000 under his charge. " .'-. .. He was frequently employed in. the execution of such transactions as the present between hla uncle's bank and tbe other banks. On reaching his des tination he marched up to that portion ot the bank counter which was appro priated 4o such business transactions. The elderly and precise clerk who oc cupied the high stool on the opposite site of the counter was almost shaken out of bis propriety by Hugh's start and confused exclamation, as, after searching vainly In the depth ot his .pockets for the precious notes, the fact dawned upon him that they were goneJ unmistakably gone. " "What's the matter, Mr. Hugh? What is it?'1 was repeated more than once be fore bis scattered senses were recall ed and then the query was only met by another, and one which, alas! was not to be bo easily answered. ' " ' "-What am I to do?" were the words which he at last stammered out He returned in a most crestfallen condition, as faVtaa a"raam jcab could carry him, to the room which he j had left so complacently less than an hour before. . ' Once In possession of the facts of the loss, Mr. Randall's views instantly shaped themselves Into the definite form of "the police station." He and his uncle were ushered Into the inspector's presence. The examin ationwhich, Indeed, elicited little else being ended, an ominous silence ensued, broken after a few minutes by I t the inspector, who ejaculated. "I have your man!" Further explanation put them in pos session ot the fact that a celebrated de tective was at the moment la the po lice station itself, having come down from London in the course of an Inves tigation in which he was engaged.- 7 Mr. TapUn soon added his presence '.fo thf :ouncil of war, and the story of ilia loss was gone over with him. ( ' The detective ' was not' one of the people who carry on all their mental processes outside their beads, and a si , lence fell on the whole party for sev eral minutes, during which, with. amaz ing rapidity ot thought, he laid his schemes, the first step in which was to visit the post offlco Just before the bags were made up. In accordance . with tbe detective's directions, the registered letters were spread out before theht. , As he bent over the letters, Hugh f aw a flush of pleasure in tbe grey eye as it rested ua ftn envelope addressed, in a scrawllna; hand. o .

Ton must come to Harwich with me tonight'' A few hour later the two . were shooting along the line on their way to Harwich. Tbe curtain next rises upon a trio Tossing along the street ot Harwich. This trio consisted ot our two friends and the postman Jn whose beat F ftreet was posted. I . All hope of seeing the money had fueled from Hugh's mind again' and aln; but hit heart- beat faster than unl as they turned Into the dingy ooking street and by the time they ached tbe door ot No. 11 It was King like a sledgehammer. The double knock was quickly la yered and when the door opened it Hcloeed a rather showy looking wo--an.' Mr. Taplin stood back.

With a mutered, "Are there so womankind in the house?" he left the room, and Hugh beard the firm step sounding through the passage, and the clear voice catling at the top ot the stairs: "Here, Betty 8usanw hauiver your name is, where are you?" A slatternly mald-of-all-work an swered the summons, In no, small amazement at the sight of two strange gentlemen, and to her charge Mr. Tal lin left her mistress, while he and Hugh assured themselves of the iden tity and completeness of the notes. Mrs. Hopkins soon recovered suf ficiently to pour out a flood of tears and bewildered lamentations, but with calm patience tbe detective at length drew from her the facts Which he seed- "Ah!" sh cried, bitterly, "he told me he would make our fortune this time, and I should have plenty then. Ho drank everything he made before, the wretch, and left me here in this miser able hole. But I'll be. revenged on him yet!" As they left the room, when Mr, Tap had made such' ". arrangements ; as suited his good will and pleasure, he desired Hugh to look at a photograph hanging in a frame over the chimney piece, and no sooner were they in the street than Hugh beheld Issuing from Mr. Taplln'a pocket book the duplicate of the carte. "That's the man," observed Mr. Tap lin at last, with a ring of triumph even in bis calm voice, "after whom I came down to your parts. Strange, now, Isnt it? That waa a little matter which took plaoe weeks ago, and we were altogether off the ecent Well, we get a new track early thU week, and I went down believing, if I caught my bird anywhere, it would be there, Then your business turned tip, and, like a flash, it crossed my mind that in find ing out the one I should be carrying on the work I came after. I knew enough of the fellow I was after to be pretty sure that if your notes were in his hands, they would either come here on their way to the Continent or go direct to America. Wbsn I saw 'Mrs. Hopkins' 1 waa as sure as that I, was a living man that the money was there, for I knew 'Hopkins' was one ot my man's aliases." And so Hugh Randall went homo again, not grudging his hundred mile journey, inasmuch as he carried with him 11,000 but not In his coat pocket New York News. "MOONSTONE" VINDICATED, Theme of Wilkle Collins' Novel Prac tically Duplicated. A story which comes from Oakland, Cal., Is reminiscent of Wilkle Collins' Moonstone." After 35 years it would seem as though Collins were vindicat ed. There are but two Improbable elements in "The Moonstone," when it is carefully considered. First, that Col. John Herncastle could ever have secured and for a half a century have retained the famous Indian diamond. Second, that Franklin Blake could have stolen It, while under tbe Influ ence of laudanum, and then have re peated his theft, a year later, while again under the influence of the same drug. In the lives of soldiers ot for tune stranger things have actually happened than the theft of a great diamond from the head of an idol. New and actual occurrence goes jo prove that the laudanum incident -Introduced by Collins into his famous story was nop wiM flight of the nov elist's Imagination. The Oakland story is to the effect that a painter fell from a scaffold and was ' seriously injured. He was placed under an anesthetic and oper ated upon. In his unconsciousness he babbled continually ot a fortune of 1100,000 which awaited him in Eng land. When the man regained con sciousness and the surgeons joked him of the supposed wild dreams which the anesthetic had caused, the man's brain completely cleared from the shadow which had long bung over it and he proved that the fortune did ac tually await him. Subsequent devel opments show the man's story to be substantially true. - It was something like 32 years ago that Wilkle Collins used this very idea as the chief mystery of his fa mous story. -Readers of "The Moon stone" will recall that Collins quotes scientific works In his novel to prove his theories. He tells of a London porter who was Intrusted with a valu able package to deliver, who became Intoxicated, and on sobering could not remember where had left the package. The next time he was drunk, however, be remembered the entire affair and secured the package where be had left It. " Collins then adapted this incident to his own needs. FrauMIn Blake, un used to laudanum, was given heavy dose, and while under the Intoxicat ing effects of the drug went to the room of Rachel Vandlver and stole the Moonstone. Next day, when the sedative effects of the drug' had passed away, Blake had do knowl edge ot hla night's action. Collins keeps Blake In this, Ignorance for a year, an then gives him an Inkling of the truth. Tbe experiment Is tried of reproducing the : surroundings as nearly as possible as they had been when Moonstone disappeared, and un der tbe Influence of another dose of laudanum Blake repeats his visit. , Tbe Oakland story differs In some particulars from the Collins incident, but the dominating Idea Is the same. For almost two decades "The Moon stone" has been looked upon, as one ot the best examples of imaginative writing extant But Collins is In fair way to follow - Jules . Verne.

The Star has printed from time to time during the past month articles about the; government printing office, in which the methods of work and vol ume of business transacted by the various departments have been elabo rated upon. With all that has been written, one can visit the big prlntery and find something of Interest well worth closer investigation. The bindery division is so compre hensive and covers so much of indus trial value to the mechanic, the lover ot machinery and the trained eye of the artist that it ta quite naturally cne of the most sought departments of the printing office work. The work ot the bindery Is sepa rated ; Into : departments also, and doubtless none Is more Interesting to the student ot Industrial life than that done in the finishing room.' It Is cer tainly one of the busiest rooms in the big new building, and is the most up to-date and largest book finishing room In the world. It Is located now on the fourth floor of the new building, and Is not yet fully equipped to the extent of plans In contemplation. Finishing is really the most Import ant and artlstlo branch ot the bind ery work. "Here the finest kind of tooling and lettering and line work Is done by hand on Levant, Morocco and Russia leathers, and also all the blank bcoks used in the governmentst'offices throughout the country. Probably the largest portion ot thes9 blank books go to the various branches of the treasury department, yet the extension ot the functions of Uncle Sam's big government to the Islands of the Pa' clflc has largely Increased the demand for blank books to other departments besides the treasury. There are 60 men employed in the finishing depart ment and they belong to the most skilled and educated class of artisans in the government service. Your Uncle Samuel has secured his trained force of workingmen from the very best private workshop of the country and inquiry among them reveals that they hall from nearly every state in the Union. - .The work of the finishing depart ment is that which the name Implies. Here the fine binding In leathers and best grades of cloth Is done, and the books como In from the forwarding division, where they are prepared for the binder or finisher. One sees piled up many fine volumes frcm the Con gressionat library and departmental libraries under processes of binding. It Is estimated that fully 7800 books of, the very .best dark gold leaf are used by the letterers In finishing dur ing a year. This is the real thing, too. A' system ot checking Is used on material and tools employed. The workman, receives so many bocks of gold leaf or so much leather, and it must be duly accounted for. When closing time arrives material and tools are put under lock and key. This is a procedure that is mutually agree able, because the workmen are par ticular people engaged in particular work .and they are only too glad to work for your Uncle Sam, who, bless your heart. Is particularity Itself. Now, if the visitor will watch the man who Is using the gold leaf to dg his lettering of the. line books, he will notice that be has a three-sided paste board frame placed in front of him, which partly Incloses the cloth pad upon which he lays his gold leaf. The frame Is to keep any draught ot air from blowing away the leaf or disturb ing it When the leaf or any portion ot it is laid upon the book where tbe lettering Is to be made a piece cf cot ton twine drawn tight across the face of the leaf makes a temporary line for a guide upon which the lettering Is done. Brass type is nsed, for the type must be heated before it can be used, and, as you will readily per ceive, if you .have ever melted and molded old type Into fish-ltne slugs or bullets when a boy, the ordinary metal would never stand the degree of heat necessary to make the lettering perfect..':'-' ;,:,.'. v . After the lettering or lining is done with the gold leaf you will notice that the workman picks up what looks like a small ball of putty. It is not the glazier's well known material but It is a ball ot soft, crude rubber, whese adhesive qualities are best adapted to picking up and retain ing ail the waste particles of gold. But soft: was the words waste used? It was a case of lapsus calami. There Is no such word as "waste" In the use of gold-leaf In the bindery divi sion. Here the rubbers are collected when they are well filled with gold waste and sent to tbe refineries, where It I extracted and Upcle Sam given due credit, The government receives considerable sum of money each year from ' this apparently inconsequent source,' . By way of parenthesis, It Is stated that In another section of the bind ery division where the Job binding tor the government is executed a gocd sized force of young women is em ployed handling the gold leaf. Here are machines and methods that will be made subjects for later reference. The prlntery is certainly a palace of wonders! .', '., ' One of the main requisites for fin ishing and lettering books It 'good light,. It Is an absolute necessity. The large new rcom ot this department most admirably meets this require ment with 18 double rooms ,sffordlng ample northern and southern light. Long work tables occupy both aides ot the room near the windows, and there Is, besides light, plenty of room to work and good air. A lavatory and closet at one end of the room would be a credit to any of the finest hostel rles of the city , and Is superior to many. It is natural that there is an air of neatness and order about the room, because of the workmen are neat themselves.. ' Here, tco, where one can see genius with tools and artistic Intelligence and taste to a marked degree, the time saving machine has entered and taken Its i place alongside of brains and brawn. It Is in the new dynamo ap paratus for lettering. The old style ot heating lettering tools by gas stove Is to be dispensed with and electric three-plate tool heat era substituted. Two fine new dyne mos, with motors attached equal to 60-herse power, for producing an ah. terlng current, have been Installed. Then there is a machine fur putting i rort of flange on the edgos that told the cover of the book. You will Uo find there a cutting machine that will cut up more cardboard accurately for the rases, or what you would call cov ers for the back of the book. In an our sr two than a man can do In a Bit the imuUIno ti,t will at tract you and hold your attention spellbound Is the casting machine. In the language of the street, It la a peach! It Is the creation of a man who said he could do it when every body else who had for years used prim itive methods said no. The two pieces of cardboard that form the two sides for the back of the book pass Into the machine. The cloth, cut, to correct measure for the book's back, goes Into the machine at the same time. It passes around a cylinder covered with glue. A mechanical device equipped with tubes raises the two pieces ot cardboard by auction.-: They are lifted and placed on the cloth, and carried along to another human-like appliance which presses and crimps the corners with a neat ness and accuracy that doubly discount any hand operator. Each machine re quires two me noperators, and it will do a day's work not only equal to a halVdoten hand laborers, but of su perior workmanship. ' -, - There are 25 Cabinets filled with all styles of brass type,, two workmen sharing a cabinet Slugs are used fcr lettering the names of senators and representatives on their books, and the work can be done very quickly.;: What is a slug? Why, It Is a word or name made In one solid piece ot metal. There Is another machine, operated by one man and occupying a small corner to Itself, which does Its wcrk' r.ulckly and cleanly. It cuts the In side edge of the pages for the index letter. .. There are three of these ma cninea, but two of these are usually sufficient to keep up with that kind ot ork. Washington Star. EARLY DAY HUNT IN OHIO. ' In the "Bag" Were 17 Wolves; 21 Bears, . 300 Deer and a Few - Foxes and Raccoons. - Doubtless the most successful hunt ever conducted in Ohio, took place on Dec. 24, 1818, In Medina county. It is known In the annals as the "Great Hinckley Hunt," and it was certainly great from any point of view. Hinck ley It the northeast township of Me dina county, and the centre of the township is only about fifteen miles In the air line from Cleveland. In the time of the great hunt it waa a heavily wooded district, and was es pecially well stocked with game. All of the settlers in and near the woods had guns as effective as any of that Bay. Bears raided the pig pens at times, and wolves were a great obstacle to keeping sheep. Partly to atop these losses and facilitate farming, and In part, no doubt, tor love of sport, the most elaborate . prepartlons were made to clear the wild beasts out' of the great forest In Hinckley township. Captains of companies were appointed by the committee in charge or chosen by common consent, and the coming of the hunt was well advertised tor many miles around. Men and boys from Cleveland Joined In the "beat," and more distant towns were repre sented. After all the firearms with in reach had been put In more or less reliable hands, weapons were impro vised by mounting bayonets -' and butcher knives on poles and using ax es and hatchets for work at' close quarters. , ' Many of tbe hunters reached the edge of the woods the night before the grand raid on the home of the wolves and bears, camping out for the night At sunrise about 600 men and boys were ready for action, and tbe signal to start was passed clear around the forest, some six miles square, in 40 seconds. The lines ot advancing hunters, deployed ' like skirmishers In battle, made a great noise with horns, shells and voices, and they gradually penned the game In tbe woods closer and closer to the centre pf the narrowing circle. The final slaughter at tbe centre of the forest was great. Most of the large animals surrounded were killed, and when the hunt ended, late In the afternoon, the "bag" waa no less than IT wolves. 21 bears, 300 deer and a few foxes, raccoons and wild turkeys. Many of the hunters remained in the woods ail night, camping by the scene of the final round up, and the occasion was one of much festivity. Only one man Waa hurt by glancing buckshot, and he was not much in jured. Cleveland Leader. The "Made-Up" Woman. A very pretty subject for discussion has been opened up by the assertion of a lady novelist that tbe made-up woman Invariably reigns supreme despite the rulings of moralists and tbe prevalent superstition that the sweet gentle woman who is neat in her dress, and nothing more ts really roan's ideal. That virtue is literally its own reward in such eases Is the substance 0 the lady novelist's at tack,. - - -','.-. .. Certainly clothes alone will not give a plain or an unpleasant woman the advantage over one whose wardrobe is demode, if the latter have beauty and grace, for it is possible to recall many Instances where the family gov erness or the vicar's daughter has scored over a veritable bevy ot fault lessly dressed women. Still, on the whole,, perhaps, it is safer for every woman to make the best effort she ean to enhance such charms" as she may possess and to simulate them as artistically as she can when nature has not been liberal. ',. Beauty unadorned may and often doea have a very good chance, but when by no manner of means -can beauty be claimed, even In unadorned fashion, then assuredly It is decidedly risky, and one might almost say un- dutlful to one's neighbor, not to seek artificiality's artful aid. - No woman with the slightest self-respect would go. about toothless or bald; she would assuredly expect If she did that the 'faked woman would triumph over her. And If she Is Justified and in deed compelled by the laws ot de cency to supply dental and hirsute de ficiencies, why should not a woman who Is pallid, Inclined to wrinkles, small eyed or of Indifferent figure sim ilarly Improve hcrsitf? Jape Carry Fans In Battle. The cool and deliberate actions ot the Japanese may in part be due to the fans they carry, writes Corre spondent Palmer In Collier's Weekly.

To a Russian wLo had not tasted their lire these 'Makaki' might have seemed quite effeminate. "The fans which the little men use to cool themselves on the march are presents from the emperor.

The Railway and Engineering Re view has the follojving to say anent the working ot railroad ' employes over time: It has been, a very common custom to abuse railroads for working men over-time, and it has been equally common to ascribe many of the wrecks to that cause. Tbe strange part of such a charge is the assertion that the practice proceeds from greed on the part of the roads, the writers apparently being Ignorant of the fact that tbe men are paid by tbe hour and that It costs no more to pay two men ten hours each than one man working twenty hours. A court in Ponsylva- nla has lately taken a sensible view ot the case. It appears that a freight train had orders to remain upon a sidetrack untii four trains bad passed and that, while waiting, the entlrs crew went to sleep. Being awakened by the passing of the third train, they Msumed that It was the fourth train and consequently pulled out and into the last train, which had not yet arriv ed, Two person were killed and sever al injured, and on the trial of the en gineer, whose casq nrst came up, the plea was made that when a railroad employee falls asleep from physical weakness, from illness, or from weari ness from long hours or steady em ployment and an accident occurs, tho 'employee' should bo acquitted. Tho court overruled this plea:, holding that no man had a right to work on a rail road unless in tine physical condition, and It he fell asleep, no matter from what cause, he should discontinue work, even though be should lose his position, rather than Jeopardise the lives of passengers; and as a result the engineer was convicted. This is a sensible as well as Just ruling. A man himself is the belt Judge ot his own fitness tor such work so far as the matter of sleep Is concerned; In fact, he is the only ono who can know of his condition In that regard. The absurdity of the charge commonly made against the railroads on this account lies In the fact that trainmen have the absolute choice of going on or staying oft duty, and k not infrequently happens that tralux are tied up en route because men pre fer to go to sleep rather than work long hours over-time. If there Is any "greed" connected with the matter U Is wholly tin the part tot tip mn themselves, ' who naturally want to make large wages; and as a result fre quently do go out In an unfit condition and thereby endanger not only the'r own lives, but tho lives of others and the property of the company as well. It la full time that the responsibility In tuch coses should be fixed where It belongs, and the Pennsylvania court ,has made a move In the right direc tion. ' A Thousand Ways ot Lying.

Success. (At46'04) Swimming th Bast Exsrcls. A series ot experiments, conduct ed by physiological chemistry at Cie university . of Pennsylvania, has proved that swimming is the most beneficial exercise. ' He 'visited the dressing rooms at the athletic field, and Immediately before each athlete left for his exercise drew blood from him by means of the regularly pre pared sterile needle. Then, when the athlete returned to the dressing room, after running, Jumping, pole- vaulting, or engaging In water polo, the needle would again be brought Into play, and a second, sample of blood drawn. Analysis of th blood, to discover how tar each exercise Increased th number- of red , cor puscles, showed that water polo and other forms of swimming resulted In the largest Increase. Th swimming exercises were thus shown to be the most beneficial, for the greater Dum ber of red corpuscles, tbe richer I so average Increase of 21 per cent, as against IT per cent, for the next belt exercise short-distance run ning.
