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

They Know to a Nicety Juat Where
Their Work Bflin and End.
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."
