KxMuilrU of the estate of J. M. HrldKim, dimemed. W. N. Barrett, Attorney for tld Kx locutrix l Data of Urit publication Jmnurf 6. 11)111 Wbco I waa slierlff of Marlon coun ty It waa reported to mo that there waa a young, clergyman In Hilton, a farm ceutcr, some twenty miles away, and It was auBpected that ho was Kid Mulligan, a half boy, half man, ties lralo, who wus fond of luaBijucrud Ing In different dtagulaea. 1 was anx ious to secure Mulllgau and concluded lo go to Hilton and Inspect the rever end gentleman. 1 had never seen the Kid, but had a description, of him. On my way to Hilton I met a farmer who had been bold up by a masked man the nlgbt before, lie waa un armed and banded out what littlo mon ey bo had about Mm without making a show of defense. Indeed, bo waa too frightened to takta notice of the robber except that he spoke with a voice not at all gruff. On the contniry, It was rather musical. Thla robbery was an Indication that Mulligan was the robber nnd Mulligan and tho robber were one and the aniuo person. I went on to Hilton and made Inquiries for the Rev. Joseph Wyetb, tlie parson's name, and was told that he was to bo found at the Thoenlx ho tel. He was traveling under a com- uitiMlon of tbe bishop to raise funds for building cburche. I went to the ho tel, a Bmnll tavern, and found the curate sitting on tbe veranda. He wore the canonicals of an Episcopal clergyman, bis balr was parted in the middle, and altogether his appearance was exceedingly clerical. Soon after my arrival at tho tavern he arose and started dowu the main street till he came to a church and turned In at a back door. 1 Inferred that tho rector had a study there and Wyetb was going to visit him. I wait ed till he came out. then went In to interview tho rector.. I found him an elderly man not versed in worldly ways. He had seen Mr. Wyeth's cre dentials from the bishop, but had not scrutinised the signature, Mr. Wyeth waa nrrnnclna- with blm to siieak to his congregation the next Sunday even ing, with a view to tuklng up a collec tion for church building In the diocese. Krwm Mr. Wyeth's personal npiear anco and certain of his mannerisms I esthered suspicions of him. I did not believe him to be Kid Mulligan, hut 1 did believe that he was not an Episco pal minister, nowever, I had no reul knowledge- concerning him nnd felt obliged to let him proceed with what he was doing, keeping him under sur veillance. I decided to let him deliver his Sunday evening address, but did not propose to let him get out of town with the proceeds of the collection without being couvtneed that ho was what be purported to be. When Sunday evening came I at tended the church services. At tbe proper time the rector simke a few words of Introduction; theu Mr. Wyeth began his address. Tosslbly If I had not lieon suspicious of blm 1 might have Ikod finilcd by bis .remarks like the others. One matter especially pave him away to me. In mentioning tho places the bishop desired churches should I built ho included tbe town of lilugbuin. I bapiK-ued to know that an Episcopal church had just been fin ished in Itiughani. The young uum spoke with a pleas antly modulated voice and talked flu ently. 1 sat In a pew right tinder him. where I could watch bim. and I think that my fixed gaze disconcerted him. I for he gave me an occasional glance, j and every time be did so ho seemed to ! we the thread of his discourse. iHiuhlless other of tbe congregation attributed this to his youth and the fright natural to a shaker. . Thiit he bad made a very favorable Impression was evidout from the col led Ion, which for so small a place whs considerable. The congregation departed, and the two clergymen went into the vestry room, the oue to turn over, the other to receive tbe contribu tions. I listened under an open win dow nnd heard Wyetb bid the rector gooilliy, saying that he must be off early the neNt morning. Having seen the young man enter the tavern nnd go t(his room, I wait ed for nn hour, then told the landloitl that I wished to sipeak to Mr. Wyeth mid nskinl hliu to go to his room with me. I bud reasons for wishing tbe landlord with nie which will appear presently. He consented, and, taking it eiiiidie, we went to tue clergyman a room and knocked on tbo door. "Who's there?" The landlord and I looked at each other. The voice sounded like thnt of (I woman suddenly awakened, ! "A gentleman wishes to speak with von, Mr. Wyeth," said the landlord. "It's too lute. I've gone to bed." This time the voice hnd lost something nf Its femininity. My mind wus made ap. The door tvas locked. Drawing off, 1 gave it a kick, nnd it flew oien. Mr. Wyeth was revealed in led pulling the covers up to his chin Aiipronchlnc, 1 drew them down far enough to expose his neck "1 thought so," I remarked to the landlord Then, turning to the woman. 1 said: "I'll trouble you for the church col lection." Tho secret being out. she surrender Mi without objection. She hnd forged her credentials Though she was not Kid Mulligan, she was very near to lilr.i. Mug his sister. 1 wns disap pointed In gelling her Instead of him, for he wns far more slippery and dan .serous to tin ml The imin of hralns sees difficulties, surmounts or avoids them.

The Englishman knows how to serve, and he knows how to be served, say Isaac Taylor Headland In "Home life In China," but In the matter of service and serving even the Englishman must take a second place, for tbe Chinaman has specialized service such as has never been doue in Great Britain. . We sometimes think we ase special ists in the west We have our eye apeclnllsts, a kind of servant, of course, although I simply use them to Illus trate what I wish to say here, but they often combine with the treatment of the eye that of the ear, the nose and the throat. They have not rot down I to a last analysis of specializing as the Chinese doctor has. A man bad been shot with an arrow, the head of which wa burled In the Bcsh. He tried to pull It out, but the akin had closed over the head, and he was not able to do so. He went to a physician to get him to remove It The doctor promptly saved the shaft off close to the skin and then demanded his fee. "But," said the Bufferer, "the head of the arrow is still Inside." "Quite right," said the doctor. "1 am a specialist I deal only with out side diseases. If you want the head taken out you will have to go to an other specialist who cares for Inside ailments." WON BY DARING WIT. Story of Cxar Paul, His Sacred Snuff box and a Wager. t Czar Taul's snuffbox was as sacred as the Imperial crown Itself. No one was allowed to touch It Kaploff wa gered that he would take a pinch out of It One morning he walked op to the ta ble which stood near tbe bed on whleh the czar still reclined and boldly took from It the majestic snuffbox. Open ing It noisily, be Inserted his fingers, and, while Taul L was watching him. In stupefaction at such audacity, he anlffed up tho fragrant powder with evident satisfaction. "What are you doing there, you rogue?" exclaimed the czar excitedly. "Having a pinch of snuff, sire, 1 have now been on duty for eight hours, and, feeling drowsy, I thought it would keep me awake, for I would rather break the rules of etiquette than neglect' my duty." l'aul burst out laughing and merely replied: "That's right enough, my lad, but as the snuffbox is not large enough for both of us you can keep it for your self." Freeman th Historian. It was an English bishop who, when the historian Freeman had worn out his patience with his rudeness, intro duced hhu to a waiting auuleuce as "the distinguished scholar that so ad mirably describes and Illustrates the savagery of our ancestors."
