aftern4wn on the Mesa ba en route for

"The Duke of Manchester married
Miss Zimmerman because he was bank
rupt and needed te money. To my
daughter, who was playing on the Inr
4o4t stage he paid ardent attention, and
when ahe came to the conclusion that
ie w a' merely trifling with her, she
went to France heart-broken, and en
tered S. convent. He wrote her many
iktters'and In nearly every one of them
he asserted that If she did not return
he woluld kill himself. She believed
him. arid returned. ',IIe renewed his
:iult. ind his conduct was altogether
iexemplary until' he went ;to Parta and
'met Miss Zimmerman. There her aunt
arranged a marriage. It was a case of
urgent need of dollars on the Vsrt of
Cite action of the j nobility, and they
were married... f ; . . -'. '.
: loncl Knight heaved a sigh of
-mighty soitw. He was about to turn
away from the syrapathetle knot of re
porters, to whom he confided his nar-
rstton.- But he turned back and clinch
ed the cae against the absent Duke
with the following accusation:
"Prior td this time," said Colonel
KtilgtiU "the Duke wrote to my daugh

gretfully. "I hare none of these letters

TORTURE,
"i
Torture1 had once a practical use. t
It mljfht have today If j practiced or
murderous conspirators. W aw; ' tKt
likely to return to the practice, thouab
nt'la unsafe to prophesy. But execu
tiorw by i torture, the wheel, tho ol
mode of punishing for high treason in
England,1 are undesirable and uselts
revivals. They" have no deterrent ef
feet. If the inhuman -wretch who kill
;ed the President were - to b (handed
over to Apaches to be' tormented U
t death, it would, only cause reaction oi
sympathy, says Andrew Lang- Jh Lo
ma n'a Magazine; The abominable rru-
titles practiced on Anthony Bablng
ton and hi acoompllcea disgusted even
the far from? sensitive Elfsibethan
spectators. And no one was. frighten
ed;- . men went pn- planning assasslna-

negroes accused of certain offenses has
no deterrent ejTecti, -ami merely gratl
fies the spirit f revenge. Yet many a
wouM-be murlcred shrinks jifrom a
simple hangi-ns. It Is odd that the ad
dition of exquisite sufferings has not a
deterrent effect, but It seems to have
noneOf-course. It has not been tried
on Anarchists but, experience 4oe
not counsel the experiment. Popular
preachers, both in America and here,
have spoken silliness in - this matter.
They live; by amotlojnal displays, and
are wisely disregarded. If we could
get at the orat ors and writers who en
courage crimes .whlch they dare not
commit, the results would be more sat
isfactory at all events these persons
would be made uncomfortable. But
probably they will be ailow-ed to enjoy
