FUR BITES OF A CHERRY

By George Folsom.

Bow a Genius Collected WMte At tbe Bate of flfi.fiW a Clip -and Kept It*

Copyright, Tbe Frank A. Munsey Co. ••Scheme’" he said. ~ "Mr. Linden had a scheme for righting your uncle's wrongs? And what about this schemer' he went on persuasively, "Tell me about it" "I never should have mentioned it," cried Nellie, "far it is his secret, and be would not like me to tell you about it. Of course, I don’t know what it all means, but you are keeping things from me that are far more important to a girl about to be married than all that money can be to yon." All this time that phrase of Nellie's was running through Simon Cossett’s head, "A scheme for righting uncle's wrongs! A beautiful scheme for righting uncle’s wrong*!" "Nellie," said her qousin at last, "you are right. I have no right to question you further. And.perhaps I have no right to tell you more than I have. I am going to surprise you now by saying that I think I was mistaken. At least, let us hope that I was. And now tell me. has -Mr. Linden money, and is he in business?" “His father left him quite a little fortune," said Nellie, “and he does something with stocks in Wail Street" "He does indeed,” muttered the financier to himself, “and he certainly knows a trick or two." "Can you give me his address’" he said aloud. “I think I have his card,” replied Nellie, opening her chatelaine bag. “Yes, here it is.” - Mr. Cossett took the card, and as he did so he saw that there was writing on the back of it. “Is this Mr. Unden 'a writing, Nellie?" he said. Nellie took the card and read over a little message Henry had left one morning before leaving on the earliest train from Malden. It related to some papers she had 'promised to read over. "That is his writing,” answered Nellie. Or-. The writing was entirely unlike that of the letter Mr. Cossett had received. “Why,” he said, excitedly, as he produced his letter, “this writing is not at all like that on the card!” Nellie took the letter he extended to her, and after looking at it a moment, smiled and said: “That,” she said, “is James Creel's writing. The name awoke no memories in Mr. Cossett’s mind. “Why should James Creel, whoever he is, write Mr. Linden’s letters to me?” “There is nothing very private or confidential in the letter,” said Nellie. “Jpmee is his cousin, and for the last four or five weeks has been with him In his office.” “His cousin!" cried Mr. Cossett, the name Creel now having a familiar ring. “And what port of a man is James Creel T’

“He is small and slight, and he has very dark hair and a dark mustache.** “The wheelman with the crackers, ’ said Mr. Cossett to himself. “And he is Henry's cousin, eh? And the police have his handwriting?** Mr. Cossett now turned the conversation to more general topics, and in a little while Nellie began to feel that there was some error in his hasty judgment of Henry Linden. Finally he said: “Now, Nellie, I have deposited ten thousand dollars in your name'* (he had not, but he intended doing so the very next day), “and we only need the formality of your introduction at the bank to make the money yours to use for any purpose you wish.” “But the others will not think that fair,” said Nellie, hesitatingly. “For any purpose you wish, remember, Nellie,*’ smiled the financier. “Ask the others, and ask Mr. Linden, if you ought to refuse it You can give It back, yon know, at any time.** “And you won’t say those dreadful things about Henry or, at least intimate them?** asked Nellie, smiling at him. “Forget what 1 said, Nellie,” replied Mr. Coasett “J think I must have been mistaken after all. Come down in two or three days, and I will take you to the bank.** And Nellie, all smiles again, said good-by and started for the station. “How much I hear, and how little I know,** cried Mr. Cossett when the door had . dosed behind his cousin. “Mr. James Creel is caught near my bouse. He proves a complete alibi. There is no criminal with whom they can connect him. * “My second thief gives me Creel’s writing, or some very like it and my second thief is nothing nt all like|K Creel. The police have Creel’s handwriting, given me on an (t ension I When Mr. Cred was not present writ- I ten under my very eyes by a man]

much larger than the man whose writ* ing it can perhaps be proved to bo. Could any one convict the cousins on the evidence? - / ' "If the police are guided to Creel, who has boon, they say, searched for since the first and who has for four Weeks been with'Linden in Wall Street, and if they find with him specimens of his handwriting, will that be sufficient ground for the arrest of Linden, who cannot, on direct evidence, be connected with either robbery? ; “And Linden does something In stocks in Wall Street, and he has a be-a-u-tiful scheme for righting uncle’s wrongs!'A be-a-u-tiful scheme for righting uncle's wrongs! And I. know what it is! I wonder how Nellie's ten thousand will affect the scheme?” < .< • • * • •

Captain Chesley and the accomplished Mr. Dempster knew morte in detail than Mr. Cdssett, but they were still at sea on some points. Dempster, two days after Nellie came to town, was making a report to his superior. We will give it in his own words. “When I got the card from Mr. Cossett, , I believed that he knew who wrote it, and I believed he wanted us to follow up Mr. Linden, for the reason that he didn’t make the slightest reference to that gentleman, as he would have if he had a different party in mind, because he knows very well we* have looked for the thief among bis relatives. “The card seemed to be what he had been wanting to give us a good start. I can understand why he couldn’t openly accuse Linden, for he hadn't any real evidence but the card. AJ man like-Mr. Cossett wants to be sure where he’s going before he goes, because damage suits dofi't please these rich gentlemen. “I found Linden’s office, and had an Interview with the manager, while Linden was'out. 'I was very anxious to find a man that I described as the first robber was described. I said I underittood that he was a friend of Mr. Linden’s and I wanted to get his address. The manager had seen a man of that description pass through the office one. night but he didn’t know him. I could easily find Mr. Linden at his Wall Street' address, he said, and I told him that I would go there at once. “It was -safe, now that we had the handwriting, to work out the Linden business in a hurry. So I went to his tailor—discovered somehow by Me-. Gill—and said I was a friend of Linden’s and admired his clothes. 7 “There I got a sort of confirmation of pur reversible-coat idea. That trick, has often been done, and it certainly was done in this case. The tailor wasn’t very long before he had laughed about the neat reversible coat that he had made for Mr. Linden. “And he asked me if I wanted one like it. This coat was made one week before the robbery. We seemed to be a little nearer our man now, and I went to on the handwriting. This took me to Wall Street, where I was brought up standing. “Mr. Linden wasn’t in, but Mr. Creel was, the office boy told me. Creel ds an unusual name, and that wheelman, the night of the robbery, gave it as his. I saw the Mr. Creel down-town, and he exactly answers the description of the wheelman. “Mr. Creel did not deal in tne securities I wanted, but as I had been sent to Mr. Linden he would give me a letter to a firm they knew. He gave me that letter and here it is. The handwriting is a queer .one, you can see. New look at our torn card. Two writings couldn’t match more perfectly. We didn’t care to be hasty in trying to get Linden’s writing, as we had Creel's, but one of our Wall Street men found his broker, and managed to see a note that he had received about some stocks.

“The writing was nothing like the card. There's my set-back. Mr. Cossett’s thieves are nothing like Creel. Cossett so far as we can tell, doesn't know either Linden or Creel, but he has seep Creel, who doesn’t look like the second robber, and -he has seen the second robber write like Creel. Mr. Linden and Mr. Creel are too respectable to be arrested on such evidence. Cossett has got to give me more than this card, or else cut off about five Inches In height of his second robber, if I am to arrest Creel. “And a reversable coat won’t do to arrest Linden on. This Isn’t a murder case where a man could take a chance. We’d be laughed out of court, sure, it we brought up either of these men. Yet they seem to be .in it more than ever, now that the wheelman and his handwriting are found. We are guessing at Mr. Gossett's enemies before. Now we have some sort of connection, and still we are stuck.’’ "Mr. Cossett knows more than he will tell,” said Captain Chesley. “Get off all the Linden lines while there is a chance that he won’t know what you are doing. The apartment manager probably forgot your call, and Linden may not see his tailor for two weeks. Creel’s letter given to you was not on record In their business u>d ho may never speak at IL (To be continued.)

FIFTEEN MURDERS IN INDIANA DURING AUGUST.

Forty-Six Suicides and a Total of Twa Hnndred Fifty-Nise Tlelaat < Deaths Daria# Month. The stale casualty report for August issued by Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health. Tuesday shows that 259 persons met death by violence during (he month. Of that number fifteen were murdered and ferty-eix committed suicide, a total of sixty-one, as August’s crime wave. Of the murder victims, eleven were killed by shooting, three by blows with an ax and one by stabbing. Of the suicides, ten chose shooting, eight hanging, three drowning, one cutting throat, one stepping in front of train, twelve carbolic acid, six “rough on rath,” two strychnine, two morphine and two took other poisons. Of the accident victims, forty-seven were killed on steam railroads, one by an in terfirban train, four by automobiles, ond by a motorcycle, three by contact with machinery, four by electricity, ten by fractures of bones, eleven by burns and scalds, six by drowning, five by poisons of various kinds, fourteen by horses and vehicles, six by suffocation, five by lightning, three by heat prostration and the remainder in various other ways.

An abstract of the mortality statistics of Indiana for August shows that the total number of deaths in 'lndiana was 2,653, as compared with 2,921 in July. In August, 1910, 3,234 deaths were reported. The rate for each I, population (based on the annual rate, assuming that the August rate extends throughout the year) was 11. in August, 1911, and 13.5 for corresponding month in 1910. In the larger cities of the state, comprising a population of 1,147,277, there were 1,338 deaths, or a rate of 13.7, while in August in 1910 there were 1,521 deaths, the rate being 15.6. During July, 1911, there were 1,450 deaths in those cities. v/ pie cities named and their death rates for August of this year follow: Indianapolis, 14.6; Evansville, 10.6; Fort Wayne, 13.2; Terre Haute, 12.9; South Bend, 13.7; Muncie, 13.6; Anderson, ' 13.2; Richmond, ’ 11.1; Hamriiond, 16.8; New Albany, 13.1; Lafayette, 15.2. - The' number of children less .than 1 year-bld that died was 457, or 17.2 per cent of the total deaths. Between the ages of 1 and 5 yeasp there were 168 deaths; between 5 years and 9 years there were fifty-two deaths, and between 10 years and 14 years there were forty-six deaths. Persons more than 65 years old, numbering 799, died during the month. / The northern sanitary section of the state, with a population dr 927,229, reported 887 deaths at a rate of 11.2. liT the corresponding month last year there were 1,066 deaths, or a rate of 13.2. In July of 1911 there were 941 deaths, or a rate of 11.9. * _ The central sanitary section, with a population of 1,114,007, reported 1470 deaths, or a rate of 12.3. During August ,of last year that section reported 1,364 deaths, or a rate of 14. In the month of July, 1911, there were 1,211 deaths, or a rate of 12.8. The southern section, with a population of 659,560, reported 596 deaths, or a rate of 10.6, as opposed to 804 deaths in the corresponding month of last year, or a rate of 13.1. In July, 1911, 769 deaths were reported, the rate being 13.7.

The southern sanitary section shows the lowest death rate. The central sanitary section had the highest death rate due to pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, poliomyelitis and violence. The southern sanitary section had the highest death rate due to typhoid fever, scarlet fever, whooping cough and influenza. The northern sanitary section had the highest death rate due to diphtheria, measles, 'pneumonia, diarrheal diseases, puerperal fever and cancer. Speaking* of the record of violent deaths in the state during the month, Dr. Hurty said: “Why these suicides of more than one every day? Why, also, these accidental deaths—about seven daily? Would it not b$ wise to give the State Board of Health sufficient support to study the conditions that produce such great destruction of life in one month? It is said that law is jealous of human life. If a mother destroys her child; society interferes with energy until she is apprehended and punished. “Yet, month by month, the law permits this awful record of murders, suicides and accidental deaths to go on, with little or no effort to prevent it. I can not think this is good business. A thorough Investigatioh into the cause of destruction' by violence would be the first step toward trying to lessen the evil.” A >IO,OOO damage case has been filed in the circuit court at Columbus, this state, against Raymond Gottschall. 1* years old, by Elisabeth Harms as guardian for her daughter, Grace Harms. 18 years old. It is alleged tn the complaint "that on the night of July J, the defendant threw a cannon cracker into a crowd of girls at a lawn social, which exploded and destroyed one of the Harms girl's eyes. ■ ‘w * V ■ ’■' ""tn ' Jj,

Elsewhere in this issue of The Republican is printed a telegram which tells of a letter written by the deputy prosecuting attorney of Lake county to Governor Marshall. Some man made complaint to the Governor about conditions at Cedar Lake and the Governor, with a high sense of duty, wrote to the prosecutor and told him that if he did hot do his duly the Governor would have to see that it was done. This called forth considerable sarcasm from the prosecutor and there is a lot of reason in the letter he wrote in reply to the governor’s bluff. The governor seems to labor under the impression that he, holds a whip hand in regulating certain moral conditions in Lake county and during his term of office he has not infrequently sent instructions t> Sheriff Grant to break up prize fights and other alleged law violations. But he hag at the. same time .permitted these things to prevail in Ihdlanapolis molested, and at other places in the state without protest. The prosecvtor points out to the Governor that gambling exists unmolested at French Lick, that various forms of' vice nd crime continue without prosecution at other places and then he points out to Governor Marshall that he had stated in a speech to college law students that law was really what the people of a community wanted it to be.. The prosecutor’s letter was written with a feeling that the governor was trying to pay too much attention to Lake county and letting other localities take card of themselves. The letter is not pt&lished in'full but it is probable that the writer did not let the opportunity pass to inform the Governor that if he really wanted .to be Instrumental in reform in Lake county, he could aid the state in prosecuting the graft charges in Gary. Governor Marshall would be commended for his suggestion that Cedar .Lake be cleaned up if he was trying to clean up the entire state at the same time, but it looks funny that he would keep, fussing about the affairs of Lake county when crimes of a much worse sort go unrestrained at other places in the state. In a -speech in July, Governor Marshall said that he was a great believer in personal liberty, that he wanted every one and every com* munity to have all. of it that tbey could and that he Approved their efforts to have it. A fortnight later he said that one of the greatest troubles with the American people was that they wanted too much liberty, that we had gone liberty mad and needed a public balance wheel to hold us in check. “The Governor seems to talk a great deal to the ears of his au lltors and he may think that he will make people believe that he is cleansing the morals of the state by jacking up the officials of Lake county, but until he has put a ban on the gambling casino at French Lick Springs he can not expect a threat to Lake county to be taken seriously. We are really coming to consider the Governor a. great deal of a bluffer in all matters.

Fred Brown, of Mishawaka, and John Farley, of Toledo, were electrocuted last evening while working on a piledriver on the St. Joseph river near Elkhart, when a steel cable came la contact with a power wire carrying 13.000 volts. Brown was shocked by the current from a wet rope and Farley in rescuing him seised Brown’s hand and steadied himself with his other hand by grasping the charged steel cable. The connection thus
