HIGGINS
.THE WRONG MAN,
By
WILLIAM H. OSBORNE
?T IS unlikely that young Mr. J. Q.
A. Boggs will ever carry a big wad
mt bills around with him again. He
bas learned his lesson, one that he will
rae-ver forget. On the day In question
be had drawn the bills from the bank
aa the afternoon before pay day, for a
apeciflc reason?he wanted to get otf
aarly on the next day, and it took a
aocslderable amount of time to go to
?Uta bank. His idea was to take the
bills home, count and arrange them
?for the men and save himself a pile
mt work the next morning. It was
?task when he started from his office.
^_e failed to notice the burly indl
\a_-ual who dogged his footsteps on
the way home, but that buny Indl
Tidual had not failed to notice him.
At a particularly dark spot In the
street, something suduenly loomed up
bafore Mr. Bogg's vision?that some?
thing was the burly individual. He
?didn't waste words. No sooner was
be aware that Mr. Boggs had seen
Idnr?. than he hit Mr. Boggs first on
ane side of the head and then on the
aaaar.
**I guess you won't remember much
after this, me bucK," he muttered to
himself, as he he'ped himself to the
roll of bilia He did so hurriedly, for
. Mr. Boggs uttered a stifled cry for
belp. The cry was heard, and unfor
tonately for the robber, two police?
men J^p?ed Into view. They saw the
-thltT?^st as he was rising from a
atoxiplng posture above the prostrate
man. They levelled their revolvers.
."Halt!" they cried in unison. The
robber laughed and started off at an
?easy gait, that became faster as he
ran. One of the policemen followed?
the other pulled Mr. Boggs over to a
placa of safety and then joined In the
chase. The thief led them on, first
ap one street, then down another,
?pofe-rtantly doubling on hi3 tracks.
**>x-Ulona'i!y a citizen would Join in
the pursuit. Suddenly when the fore?
most officer had almost grabbed him
-~t>?itath had long since emptied their
revolvers?he darted hastily around a
?rorner and disappeared. But the po?
lice were close on his heels and r_?
?*****l*h?T turned the corner they heard a
door suddenly slam. They located the
sound, and crossing to the house, at?
tempted to force their way In. They
did not try long. A man appeared
at the door and opened it with such
Willingness that an officer, whose
shoulder had been pushing it too hard,
?fall flat within the passageway.
-"??Gentlemen.'' said the man who had
epen-ed the door "what can I do for
joaV As he spoke, he appeared to
be slightly out of breath. The officers
grabbed him. "We want you!" they
exclaimed.
I The man gasped with surprise.
"What for?" he asked. "You're the
fellow that robbed a man in Quimby
street." they said. He gasped again.
'Robbed a man." he went on, "im
po?T*-3ibIe. Why. I have just come
home from work." "You've been run?
ning." said one officer. "Exactly." re?
sponded the man, "for 1 was late. In
fact I reached the house Just before
yea came." This conversation occu?
pied several minutes. There was a
?leek on the mantel. It was Just eight
o'clock. An officer took out his watch
aad verified the time. The other one
I had taken a note of the time of the
r-o-abery. It had occurred at 25 min
T-tes after seven.
\ They searched the house, but they
did not find the bills. The man of
the house. Higgles as he gave nia
name, was quite amused at the little
?tpi-ode. but he was not so much
am-sed when they took him around
to the station house and locked him
op. He was held for trial. The trial
came on. The police went on the
stand and proved their case. They
had chafed a man to the corner In
?joestlon, and they had heard this
door slam, they went in, the man ad
adtted that ne had been running?the
case was clear to their minds.
The prisoner was nonplussed. Ha
took the stand and protested that he
was Innocent. "Dear me!" he ex?
claimed, "If the law -.?muid only allow
'me to call air. Humbert, the clock
?maker. Why, your honor, I was in his
_>laee for one whole hour, from 6:55 to
|7:66, and I was due at my home at
o'clock, so I ran. If the law
[would but let me call him, I could
rove what I say." The judge looked
rar his glasses. "The law allows you
? call him, sir," he said. "Why don't
oa call him?" The prisoner hesl
Lted. "I have no counsel, your hon

him to rake the address of this

itngy little store that he bad never
before. In front of It there was
man with a bare head, taking a sun
He was a good s zed man.

nodded to the man called Humbert,
"air. Humbert?" he inquired. Hun?
ben nodded.
"Mr. Humbert." went on the Judge,
"this man says he was at your shop
on the 13th of last month in the even?
ing for an hour, beginning 6:55. Ia
that true?"
Humbert put on a large pair of
spectacles. "Ridiculous!" he ex?
claimed, "I never saw the man be?
fore." The judge breathed a sigh of
satisfaction, the police grinned with
an air of "I told you so." "May I?"
began the pri-oner. "May I ask a
question?" "Certainly sir," respond?
ed the judge. "Mr.?Mr. Humbert,**
?continued H'ggins, the accused,
"don't you remember a man who
?called at your place that night *.o get
a clock that^had been left for repair
?and who talked about tattoo
marks?" Humbert started and rubbed
bis head. "Of course." he returned,
"I do?I do remember him. I showed
him a tattoo mark of a clock upon
my arm, and he showed ?a? on his?"
?"Wait a minute," went on the prison?
or, "what day was that?" "Why," an
awered Humbert, "it was the evening
of Good Friday?I remember It welL
Yes, Indeed?there was such a man.
And he was there an hour, too. But
how did you know that?" he asked of
the prisoner.
"What were the tattoo marke ho
showed you?" asked the prisoner.
Humbert again scratched his head.
**One arm," he answered, "had a god?
dess of liberfy, and the other a dan?
cing girl with the words ?. H. be?
neath IL I remerubvr them well." Tho
prisoner rolled tip his sleeve?. "Are
those the mark???'' he asked. The
witness, Humbert, leaned forward and
"TOUKEW \NTKH r?i ?\\ ? vn-orRT."
examined the :narks with care. "Why
?why. to be suit, h_* answered. Then
he looke.l the prisoner steadily in the
eye. "Why. (fresai me. you?you were
! the very man. tern, your honor, thla
? Is the man. ani ne : ays truth when he
Bays that he was with me during the
hour named. He is right, and I ?,<*?$
wrong."
Humbert seem?d so very honest
about It, and his testimony was so
straightforward that the prisoner was
perforce discharg?*d by the verdict of
the Jury. He thanked Mr. Humbert
I profusely, and Humbert went his way
Iand the prisoner went his.
Late that afternoon a policeman
, who had happened to witness the trial
dropped Into Humbert's on his way
? to his beat, jusi to have a b<t of a
! chat ?bout tbe alibi. An elderly gen
I tientan was arranging some watches
I In s case. "Where is Mr. Humbert?"
asked the officer. "1 am Mr. Hum?
1 bert," responded the old man. "I?I
mean the other one." went on the of?
ficer. "There is no other one." re
i turned the other. "A big stout man,"
auggested the policemen. "I am the
only Humbert." answered the old
man; "you must have things mixed."
That same afternoon a big. stout,
burly man and a tall, though heavy
Individual, hastened from the town.
The latter resembled Mr. HJggins,
the former the witness HumberL
"I'll take my half right now," sug?
gested Mr. Hlggins. Mr. Humbert
handed over a small wad of bills.
"It was absurd for them to charge
me with that crime?assault and rob?
bery of that man Boggs?absurdly
ridiculous."
Humbert, as h?e had called himself,
scratched his head "It was absurd,*?
he went on. "though I say <3o that
myself. But it was done clever, too,"
he went on. "though I say so tfca*t
oughtn't."

Some curious experiments have been
made at one of the royal philanthropic
Institutions in Copenhagen. For some
years back the 70 boys and girls in the
place have been carefully weighed ev?
ery day in groups of 15 and under.
Thereby it is proved that the children
gain weight mostly In autumn and In
the early part of December. From that
time till the end of April there Is
scarcely any increase In weight. More
remarkable still, there Is a diminution
till the end of summer.

"I had an amusing experience on the
smoking car through Ohio last week,"
said the tra\eiing man who had just
come from the weist to a Philadelphia
Telegraph reporter.
"A little ragamuffin with a shoeblack

beneath two seats that were turned '
back to back. His clothes were in a
deplorable state, and it was easy to un- ?
derstand that he did not have the priot

smeared cheek.
"Then you'll get off at the next sta?
tion,' answered tbe irate official, who
had evidently dealt with many similar
cases in the past.
"I felt sorry for the chap, and didn't
want to see him put off the car, e? I
went up to him and told him to shine my
shoes, after which I handed him a quar?
ter. In a s>hort time he was shining
the shoes of other men in the car until
he had made 75 cents more than the
price of his fair.
"We saw to it that he straightened out
matters with the conductor and forgot
all about the incident, until half an hour
later, when the man next to me pocked
my arm and pointed over to the cornei
of the car. The little shoeblack wassit- j

to take any mean advantage. He laid
his gun down and said:
"If that rabbit can beatme running he
can go wherever he chooses."
Then he stirred the rabbit up, and
there was a race across the field. Col.
Willard gained steadily and, just be?
fore the fence was reached, succeeded in
catching the rabbit by the hind leg.

The woman who goes as a missionary |
to India must expect to put up with
strange fare. Miss Mattie Burgess, a
missionary just returned from that
country, says: "During the last year
of our stay in India we had beef only
once, mutton twice and fish about eight
times. Chiche?ns are so common we
got tired of them. In fact, chicken Is
about the only kind of meat to be had.
The natives are -?egetarians and seldom
eat meat of any kind. A butcher came
to our city once a week and brought goat
meat, the only kird to be had. The na?
tives eat either rice or bread made from
wheat or a grain peculiar to the country.
In the grain dist riots they have bread. It
