that the leisure ot foreible men seems to

analyais would show that in almost any
American city or town of considerable size
there are not enough men of positive force
who oan get leieure from the exacting occu-
pations of the Mine to carry out any non -
remunerative undertaking ; whereas in
every snob oity or town, if the leisure and
the wealth of the women were concentrated,
there ntight be made a literary, scientific,
or arCistio center.
' This is a most practical and fruitful sug-
gestion, and it might be worked out in a
larger or smaller way in almost any Ameri-
ean community. Certainly no more in-

vast army of women that have organized
themselves for so many worthy purpose a for
the advancement of the gentler sex.
Why Women's Wages are Less than Men's.
There is of course no other man in the
United States who has collected and
handled with competency ao large a mass of
statistics of wages as Col. Carroll D. Wright,
United States Commissioner of Labor.
Through all hie investigations Colonel
Wright has made an supernal :Andy for him-
self of the bearings of the facts that he has
collected upon the condition and advance-
ment of women. He has brought together
his conclusions of many years' study and
investigation in an article which appears in
the July number of The Forum, bearing up-
on the question as to the relative wages
received by men and women for the seine
work.
Are women paid as well as men for the
so.ine work? Colonel Wright maintains
that in a great majority of cases ;hey are,
lint that conflisir has arisen bbcause it
ofteuer happens than is generally supposed
that the work which women do is not the
same as the work which men do. As
women, for tnstance, have forced their way
into such employments to bookkeeping andlighter clerical work, the same grade of
men that formerly did this work
have sought higher and more
remunerative occupations. The pro.

tween what women receive and what men

',taste of Women's Intellectual Power.
In the series of papers that is appearing
in The Forum on subjects of especial in-
terest to women is an article in the July
number by Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,
on "The Waste of Woman's Intellectual
Force," that is worthy of the most serious
consideration by every woman's club or
other organization looking to the intellec•
tual advancement of the sex. Mrs. Van
Rensselaer deelares that in the woman of
America lies the nation's best hope ot in-
tellectual advancement, because leisure is
what is needed for such advancement, and
otir vidnen have leis -tire in an immeasurebly
greater demob than .our men. From this

OUTWITTED BY A THIEF,
The house of Laird, Williamson 80 Co.,
diamond merchants and wholeasie and re -
Jewellers, of London, employed no
trave ling agents. The nearest approach to
it was what is celled "a speciosity man."
In other words, he was an.employee of the
house trusted almost, as much as one of
the partners, but tiader bonds so heavy
thet the house need not worry about him
if he did not turn up at the hoer be wan
due. It happened very ofeen that titled
people and those who had grown rich in
trade could not make it convenient to come
to town to deal with the house personally
for rare gems, while others were in want
of .special designs for birthday, gifts,
souvenirs, and the like. Such people stated
their desire by letter, and the teipeoialty
man" wee seat to take their order or make
a sale.
I had served the house four years with-
out loss and scarcely without adventure,
when I was started off for Morpeth, a town
in the north of England. Tho firm had
received a letter from a wealthy and well-
known public man living in the suburbs
of that town to the effect that his wife had
broken A leg and was not able to be about,
but wanted several special things in jewelry
as soon as they could be made for pre -
Bente to friends. She would also look
at some llama, particularly a diamond
necklace, but nothing common was want-
ed. The story was current that this gentle•
man'a daughter was soon to be married,and
it was anticipated that I would receive a
very fair order. The value of the jewels
packed up for me for that trip was some-
thing like $7,000. From my very first trip
I had always travelled after a certain fash-
ion—the fashion of a commercial traveller.
Many of Lite fraternity honestly believed
that I was a genuine member. In imp grip
I carried about a dozen small bottles of
dyes, and it was supposed that I was trav-
elling with that line. The jewelry case
was placed in the grip, and I left the affair
knocking about with such apparent care-
lessness that no one could entertain a sus•
picion of its value.
Tbere was only one odd thing about the
letter from Morpetle and that was not
commented on until after my adventure.
It mentioned day and date and hour when
nis, arrival would be expected, and I left
London to bit the exact time. Had this
matter beeu brought up beforehand we
would have said that the gentleman was
probably going to leave home later in the
day. It was in the month of October, and
I was timed to reach that town at 10 o'clock
in the forenoon. The letter aaid that is
carriage would be in waiting: for me to
drive at once to the manor. 'lite train was
on time to a minute, and I got MI in com-
pany with two travelling Salesmen. I
found the carriage after a bit. There were
two inen on the box, and they at first
seemed to question that I was the right
party. Their doubts probably arose from
the fact that I was plainly dressed anel was
so the company of the saleanien. One of
them asked if I was the jewelry man Sir
'Blank -was-expecting, replied, U40.1
wanted to see the gentleman whether ex-
peeted or not. They hesitated about driv-
ing off, but as no one else appeared we fi-
nally made a start.
I tell you honestly that I had no sooner
entered the carriage than I had queer feel-
ings. The outfit was too common to be
owned and publicly used by such a man as
Sir Blank, and the two men didn't appear
at all like servants. I had never been in
Morpeth before, and was therefore ignorant
of the direction we ought to take or the
distance to be travelled. After getting
away from the depot a bit we turned to
the west, the horses going at a sharp trot
and the men holding conversation in low
tones. We passed plenty of houses and
vehicles and pedeatrians, and as we left the
town-behiad 1 looked ahead for sight -of
Sir Blank's great house and well -kept
grounds. Perhaps the pair observed my
anxiety, for one of them turned and aid:s
"It's a bit over five miles • to the place,
That satisfied me only for a moment.
The more I looked at the men and the
'closer -I --scatined-the- outfit ---the stronger
grew my suspicions that something was
amiss. Three miles to the west of 'Mor-
peth is a hill from which one can survey
the country for miles around. As we reach-
ed the crest of this hill I saw only small
farms and plain farmhouses before me. If
Sir Blank s mansion was on that road it
was beyond my vision and still a good ten

scend the hill. "I think there is a mistake.

would have stood to pars thousand pounds
rather than have the publio informed
through the press that there had been a '
conspiracy to rob their "special man,"
While I Made many inquiries, I gave no,

men with the vehiole were strangers in
Mo.rpetle and the whole plot was plain to
me
I had intended to leve on my return to
London at five in the afternoon, but an ac-
cident on the line detained me till seven.
The night came on dark and stormy, and
there were but few passengere from Mar -
path. Four of us who got en were ushered
into the same compartments There were
two plain women ticketed to Durham, and
the third was a man about forty years old,
of pleasing addrees and genteel appearance.
As soon ae we fell into conversatton he gave
me to understand that he lived at Beverley,
a town about 100 miles down the line, and
from certain words let fall I gathered that
he was a prominent public official of the
place. I didn't exactly reply that I was in
the dye line, but he probably inferred as
much trom what I said. I was glad of hia
company. He was a fair talker, well
posted, and I enjoyed his society.
Theltwomeu got out at Durham and left
us alone. We passed Darlington and were
still the sole occupants of thecompartment.
Mr. Arnold, as he had given his name, had
been sitting opposite to me for an hour. As
the train cleared Darlington he yawned and
meld :
"1 am sleepy, and yet I can never get a
wink of sleep on the train. By the way, I
found a curious coin on the street at Mor-
peth to -day. Can you place it ?"
He had a coin in hie fingers as he stepped
over to me. I reached out me hand to re-
ceive it, when he seized me by the throat
with both hands and had me on my back in
a second. I was no match tor him in
strength. He gripped my throat so fiercely
that I had no power of resistance. Bending
over me, with his knee on my chest, he
finally let up on hie clutch and said;
"Don't be foolish, now l I know you,
and I'm after those diamonds ! If I can
get them without killing you all right; if
I can't I'll slit your weaeand good and
deep !"
"You --you mean to rob me ?" I gasped.
"Certainly, and you'll show good sense
by keeping quiet. Excese me, but`l've got
to do this job shipshape and Bristol
fashion."
He drew a wicked looking knife and held
it in his teeth as he used his Wide to tio
me with some stout cords taken from his
parcel. He turned me over, took the pistol
from my hip pocket and tied my arms be-
hind me. Then he tied my ankles and
rolled me on my side. Why didn't I resist?
Simply because his clutch on my throat had
almost paralyzed me.
"Now for the sparklers l" he said, as be
took down my bag, searched me for the key
and opened it. .
He laughed as lie brought out the
bottles of dye and tossed them aside, and
lie laughed again as heheld up the jewel
ease.
"A deuced hne lay out, 'pon honor !" he
chuckled, as he inspected the contents.
"The house of Laird, Williamson & Co.,
carries only the beat. What's the cash value,
• may I ask?"
"But you are a cool one !" I said. in
reply.
. "Only fairly so—only fairly. I should
say £6,000 wouldn't be far out of the way.
A very pretty haul and no risk attending
it,."

: I was so mad and my throat hurt me so

continue his remarks when the train sud-
denly slackened speed and a minute later
came to a etandatid. We had been ordered
to make a special stop at is small station to
let an up train pass.
"What in Tophet's name does this
