Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Oct. 3 "Fighting Bob" Evans, the retired rear admiral! of the United States navy, has come out as an advocate of higher pensions for Civil War veterans. He made a characteristic speech at the unveiling of the monument to the One Hundred and Fifty-sixth New, York volunteer regiment at Highland, opposite this city. In the course of which he said: : , , . "Be good to , those old men who 'fought in the great war, that our union might be saveL-.J)onglv-lbem any more than $12 a month bounties. It you are going to starve the men who all but gave up their lives for you, it would be better to do it at once and not . prolong the process day by day and year by year," In closing he said: "If you give us battle ships enough I assure you that we will keep the peace, if we have to fight for it."

HARR1MAN TO SPEAK BEFORE GREAT CONGRESS Interstate Commerce Commisi sion to Also Attend.

ras iCty, Mo., Oct. 3 It has been 'aia:ii:nc2d here by President J. B. Case that E. II. Harrlman, the railway mag

nate, has accepted an invitation to attend and address the nineteenth annual session of the trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress that meets in San; Francisco, , October 6-10. President Case states that invitations also have been extended to each member of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Omaha, Galveston, Denver, San Antonio and Seattle have already entered the race for the 1910 session.

"Don't you know me, Mr. Juddt" youth "who "had "supplanted" the thin tatterdemalion bo much discussed by them and their neighbors. Judd and the restaurant keeper were the only men In the locality who could claim actual acquaintance with tbe.bpy whose strange proceedings as reported by the newspapers made London gape Indeed, both men had been interview;, ed by police and reporters many times. They were living links with the marvelous, a pedestal of common stone for an aerial phantasy. , ; . And now here be was back again, dressed like a young gentleman and bailing Judd as a valued friend. No 'wonder the greengrocer lost his breatb and his power of speech. i But Pblllp was smiling at bim and talking. "You were the ona man out of many, Mr, Judd, who believed in me and even stuck up for me when you saw me led through the street by a policeman to be imprisoned on ( a false charge. I

did not know until an hour ago that I was indebted to you for an abundance of excellent food while I was semandfcd In prison I will not offerto refund you the money you spent. My gratitude will take another form, which you will learn in a few days. But I do want to pay you the ninepence I borrowed. Would you mind asking the proprietor of the restaurant to step in here for a' moment? Don't say I am present. I wish to avoid n crowd, you know." Judd had time to collect his scattered ideas during this long speech. "Blow the nlnepence!" he cried. "Wot's nlnepence for the treat I've ad? People I never set eyes on In my life afore kem 'ere an bought cabblges or taters or mebbe n few plums, an then they'd stawt, 'Mr. Judd, wasn't It you as stood a dinner to the boy king of diamonds?' That's wot they christened yer, sir. Or It's: 'Mr, Judd. cahn't yer tell us w'ere that young Morland lives? Surely yer know sunimat abaht '1m or yer wouldn't hev paid 'is bill.' Oh, it 'as bin a beano! Hasn't it, Eliza?" "But we never let on a word," put In Mrs. Judd. "We was close as wax. We told none of 'em as how Mr. Judd went to 'Olloway that night did we. Willyum?" "Not us. Ye see, I took a fancy to ye. If ahr little Johnnie 'ad lived, 'e'd ha bin Just your lge. Fifteen, aren't ye?'' At last Philip got him persuaded to summon his neighbor. Judd did so with an air of mystery that caused the baldheaded restaurateur to believe that a burglar was bottled up in the rreenerocer's cellar.

crtco sr.k'e xno eucp, however, Mr Judd's manner ohassced. "Wot did I tell yer. TonlnsT h cried elatedly. "Wot, price n:e a f Judge of karakter!

CHAPTER XII

EFOItE retiring to rest Philip as

certained Mr. Abingdon's London address and wrote asking for an appointment the follow

ing evening. He also interviewed the manager. "I want the help of a thoroughly reliable solicitor," he said. 'I wish to purchase some property not valuable property, but of importance to me. Can you give me the address of some one known to you?" M. Foret named a reputable firm In the locality. "They may refer to you," added Philip. "Of course I do not ask you to say more than that I am staying here, but the point 13 I do not w!h you to mention my age." "Will you not see them, then?" 1 , "No. I will endeavor to conduct tha whole business by post." The manager laughed. "You certainly are tbecbolest young gentleman I ever met. However, Mr. Anson, it may please you to know that your bank gave you the best of recommendations. I will say so to anybody." So Philip first drafted and then copied the following letter: Dear Sirs M. Foret, of this hotel, has given me your names as a Srm likely to transact certain negotiations for me. I want to purchase a small property In the Mile End road, known as Johnson's Mews, also a shop near the entrance to the mews, tenanted by a marine store dealer named O'Brien. The mews is owned by the Cardiff and Havre Coal company, limited. I do not know who owns the shop. I wish to acquire these properties for a philanthropic purpose, but I am most desirous that my name should not figure in th- transaction. I propose, therefore, when you have ascertained the price, which should be at the earliest possible moment, to pay to your eredit the requisite amount. Tou can have the properties transferred to any nominee you choose and again transferred to me. Kindly add your costs, etc., to the purchase price. My movements are somewhat uncertain, so please send all communications by letter. It will be an obligation and lead to future business if you attend to this matter tomorrow morning. Yours faithfully, PHILIP ANSON. He did not compose this letter without considerable trouble. The 'philanthropic purpose" he had already decided upon, but he thought It was rather clever to fefer to the possibilities of "future business." As for the double transfer, he distinctly remembered copying letters dealing with several such transaction at the time of the coal company's conversion into a limited liability con cern.

He will show how the Florence burns .smoke, and convince the peopfc of Richmond, Ind., that every stove on the face of the earth, outside the construction of the Florence, as an absolute smoke and gas consumer Is a fake" and a misrepresentation. , Mr. Howard Offers Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) to any. manufacturer or dealer in stoves who will produce a stove, Wednesday, Oct' 7th, outside the construction of the Florence, that will burn the smoke from the mo"ment the fire is started, or wlir heat the same amount of space at the same . cost that the Florence does. It will pay you to come and hear what Mr.-Howard has tp say about the stove question. Your eyes will be opened and von "will h enllzhtened as to the exact conditions In . the stove bus

Deferring his breakfast, be walked to Fleet 'street and purchased copies of morning and evening papers for the whole of the week. lie could thus enjoy the rare luxury of Seeing himself as others saw bim. He read the perfervid description of the scene in court and found himself variously described as "pert," "masterful," "imperious," "highly Intelligent," "endowed with a thin veneer of education" and "affected." Philip could afford to laugh at the unfavorable epithets. Up to the age of thirteen he had been trained in a first rate lycee, and his work was supervised by his mother, a woman of very great culture. He spoke French as well as English and spoke both admirably. He knew some Greek and, Latin, was well advanced In arithmetic and had a special penchant for history and geography. It was In the glowing articles which appeared during his imprisonment that he took the keenest Interest. , Oddly enough, one Ingenious correspondent blundered on to a clew: Gifted with an analytical mind, he had reasoned that the diamond laden meteor fell during the extraordinary storm of the 10th, and the meteorological department In Victoria street helped him by describing the center of the disturbance as situated somewhat to the east of the London hospital. The writer bad actually Interviewed a member jof tb ataff of (mU,

tlon who. amused himself by "aoti'ag barometrical vagaries. His instrument recorded nu extraordinary increase of pressure soon after 10 o'clock on the night of the storm. "Alas," said the scribe, "it did not Indicate where the meteor fell, and not a policeman, bus driver or railway official can be found who observed anything beyond a phenomenal electrical display and a violent downpour of rain." That was too close to be pleasant and Philip was glad to hear from M. Foret that the solicitors after telephoning to ask for some particulars concerning Mr, Anson were giving prompt attention to his instructions. "What did you tell them?" asked Philip. "I said that you Impressed me as the kind of young gentleman who would pay well for services given unsparingly." "Did that satisfy them?" "Perfectly. Such clients do not iDovnd In these hard times."

(Continued.) What Would He Say 7 "Have you anything to say before sentence is passed upon you? asked the judge. "I have." replied the prisoner. "Well, what is it?" demanded the Judge.

"On second thought" returned the

prisoner, "I believe I'll not say it. 1 don't care to have a fine for contempt of court piled on to my other sentencedChicago post

When near Bohemia he saw approaching bim smilingly a pretty woman, in whom he had taken interest before his recent marriage. "No use, I can't talk to the woman without my teeth," and with dead earnestness Hauser pleaded with the Sheriff to be quick and lend him the latter's teeth. The sheriff sized up Hauser's broad

jaw, compared with his own wee bit

of a conservative one. "Hauser, I guess nix cum raus," he said.

Man Who Could Not SleepFrustrates Wreckers.

Harrlsburg, Pa., Oct 3. John Eni-, mlnger, an aged farmer living along the Cumberland Valley Railroad near. White Hill, a station seven miles' southwest of Harrisburg, frustrated the attempt of train-wreckers. Ensmlnger was unable to sleep because of asthma and was looking out of a window of his home close to the tracks when he saw men working on the tracks without any lights. When he stepped out of his house and asked what they were doing the men ran, leaving wrenches lying on the roadbed. When the esstbound Nor folk express came along five minutes later Ensmlnger with a switch lantern flagged It Investigation showed that the men had drawn out half a dozen spikes and were working on the nuts to the fish plates which hold the rails. The en-' glneer and train crew made a search of the near-by country, but found no trace of the wreckers.
