of tionlli. Bobbc tbo cpldon double eagle
awarded to him as tbo propounder ot tbo
best conundrum out of nearly eight thousand
received at tbo ofilce of Thb Etiniko Wobld
last week..
Mr. Bobfoa is a young man and a reporter
for the Jewellers' Review, lie blushed pain
folly when the rosy gold-piece waa laid on
his doalc before blm and tugged hard at a
smalt brown monstaohe.
' Where did you got your conundrum ?"
used the reporter.

and bulging brow and said i " It was a child
of my own."
"dot any others ?"
"Why. ycsi I've ono little boy at home,"
ctammored the prize-winner. '
"Did you sit up nights oyer that conun
drum V
' No. It aort o' popped into my head."
The conundrum was: " Who controls the
largest copper syndicate in the United
States r and tho answer was "Bupt. Mur
ray," of oourso.
'"Peeler, copper. 'bobby. Bobbc" ' there
was no connection botween the conumdrum
and your namo was there ? You didn't take
any unfair advantage of people who didn't
rejoice in a suggestive name, did yon ?"
Mr. Bobhd deelared that he didn't.
" What will you do with the prize ?"
' ' I don't know. What would you sur

"A dinner to the office," suggested Editor
Senior from his desk.
" Beer for the party now and cigars for the
rost ot the wook." suggested another.
' "Toko us all to the theatre," put in a
third.
" There seems to bo a diversity of opinion,
gentlemen," said Mr. Bobbc1, complacently
pocketing the shlnor. " When such emi
nent physicians disagree I think I'd better
consult Mrs,, Bobbd. I never won a prize
before, and, we'll think it over."
Then Mr. Bobbd wrote this ooknowledg.

Legitimately newspapers may dlsouss tho
publlo acts of the Governor, and possibly
may find warrant for public criticism of his
private affairs. They may say that the Gov
ernor Is a bachelor or intends to be a Bene

they take an unwarrantable liberty whon,
without Inquiry or authority, they drag tho
name of a worthy lady Into publicity in con
nection with the Governor's possible inten

the bride of Gov. Hill is tho Democratic

On this evidence what should havo boon

insane person, I should at oncq have deoided
to keep the boy "shadowod" foraweok or

nocomplloa or principal, valuable evldenco
would thus have beeu obtained. As it is, by
his arrest, one chanco and a eood one of a

and I do not express an opinion on that ques

prove tho guilt. Wo don't omnloy dotectivcs

duty is to collect ovldence against them which
can be produced in open court. From the
moment of incarceration in a polico cell
the arresting or responsible officers should
never bo allowed to too tbo prisoner oven.

Does not America caro for fair play ? If so

into making a confession. If, boncver, ou

" Why, my darling, birthdays ogrco with
you, it would seem? I must say somothing
pretty, I suppose. You really do not' look
your twonty-ono years. You aro ready, I sen,
for tho gay joys of to-night. Upon my word,
your cyos aro Ilka loadstones. Aro they
block or bluo? What a way they havo of
stenllng out from that curtain of fringes
which tho lashos mako. I never saw such
oycH in my life."
" There, you havo said enough even for
my twenty.flrst birthday," sold the girl. Hhe
had risen, and tho beautiful proportions and
contour of her cxqulsito form were fully ro
vcaled. As the slightly turned her head and
glancod at him her lover gavo a start which
her quick glance at onoo detected. Ho foldod
hor tightly In his arms and brcatlicd quickly,
while sho looked wonderingly at him.
' ' Darling, your eyes ! How liko thev aro
to hers! As you tnrncd that moment I re
called tho expression of tho faco of your tin
fortuuite filcnd as 1 have seen It In our al.
busi mauy a timo and as I saw it to-day on
tho publlo bulletins in the atreot. What a j
fate was hers I And what strange affinity is
ihls!"
Tbo young man shuddered with a horror he
could not name, and pressed his affianced
close to his brenst. Then tho girl freed herscu
from his passionate embrace and said t '
"You foolish boyl do not think suctl
naughty, frightful thoughts. Hte,! I bnea
present whioq may lie a talisman. It it
Uncle Lai's offering to me."
Sbo loorcued tho front of her dresx nnd
drew forth a quaint looket. It wns shapod
liae a heart, and in the centra blazed a dliv
moud gem. Btrange cabalistic symbols were
marked upon It, aud the workmanship,
though deft, wai of most unusual fuhlou.
