Woodberry in Century. HIS LAST CRIME. Frank Fairman, alias Freezeout Fair- mount, Fancy Frank, etc., was a burglar, In every great city of the land the law offices either know him or of him, and by ten years' patient endeavor at getting oth- er people's property between the hours of midnight and 6 a. in. hu had gained wide- spread iiptoriety. As a rulo, whenever he Made his appearance in any metropolis the police either arra ted him on general prin- ciples or "kept tabs on him." So now in these days London, Liverpool and other cities began to know hint lees and the small towns more. Though exiled, his glory did trot suffer by operations in more restricted fields. Rather he added consid- erably to his laurels by continually avoid- ing arrest, or, if arrested, aided by skillful lawyers, conviction. ' 'There seemed for this king of the "jimmy" no day of retri- bution. What awakened tho admiration of his ancient enomit'n, tho detective,, store than anything clso w'as the. fact that 1'tiil)unn invariably worked alone. ;;o fur as knees in uo single job had hu ever been aided by a confederate. Neither did he seek to gain advance information of the "lay" of a house by pumping servants, and, in short, rejected all the conventional methods of the average housebreaker, apparently se- lecting a residence to rob and then du - pending on a high order of cunning and intelligence to enter it and overcome all obstacles that alight arise. • This system of work made Fairman stere dangerous by far than the ordinary burglar, and not a police chief in the kieg- donl but would have gone to great lengths to put hint behind the bars. What his his- tory had been prior to a warm spring night years before when bo had entered the home of a merchant in Bradford and swept it of every valuable without disturbing the family cat no man could claim to know. Certainly ho was not of the slums. On the contrary, on the few occasions when he had faced the bar of justice his remarks revealed the possession of a good education. But just then, while the snow falling outside seemed a benediction from heaven on the Christmas festival that midnight would usher in, burglary and theft and murder and crime seemed so utterly out of harmony with tho glad spirit of the day that to no man's mind in Paxton village did thought of them even suggest itself. Least of all did old man Davis, the vet- eran "chief" of the little town's three po- licemen, fear visitations by evildoers. Had ho known that the tall, richly dressed stranger passing his window at that very moment was the noted and dreaded crim- inal, Frank Fairman, his visions of the morrow's Christmas tree, plum pudding, etc., would have been rudely dispelled. But he did not, and his wrinkled face, like every other face in town, wrinkled or otherwise, was beaming with expectant happiness. Fairman was in hard luck. He had been en route from Manchester to London, where he tried to spend every Christmas, but an energetic detective had followed so fast and hard after that he was forced to dodge off into the little village. He was not even sure now that ho had shaken his pursuer, and the fear, combined with the certain failure to eat turkey in the west end of London, filled hire with wrath. When he struck the town, such a thing as burglary never entered his head. Ile had made a big haul in Bristol and did not contemplate a "ridge" for some months. But whether it was a strange vanity to startle the unsophisticated townsmen with a "daring robbery by-,tho prince of housebreakers, Frank Fairman" —be fancied he even now saw the black typo heading in the village paper—or whether ho felt a desire to revenge himself on the town for the delay he had suffered, is immaterial. Ifo had suddenly resolved on a "job." By daylight he could catch an express to town. There was the house ho wanted, its windows staring down upon hire now through the curtain of snowflakes—a large, handsome residence, whose exterior bespoke an alluring plenty within. ]'air- man did not even appear to glance at it as bo strode by. His mission was one of extreme danger, but the prospect only made him more eager. Any one of half a dozen children might bo lying awake to watch the advent of Santa Claus and betray him, but he did not draw back. While all the world should dream of "peace on earth, good will to men," ho would try to steal, and try hard. Here and there the houses, by which he aimlessly wandered, sent forth gleams of cheery light, and laughter and song float- ed out to join the old church belts its glad rejoicing. It was a thno in which old hearts became young, and a dozen times that memorable night Fairman hesitated. But mingled with the sweet influences that shook conscience and heart were bit- ter memories, and so ho went on ;jeering at his "mawkish sentiment," oven while tears dimmed his eyes. At last midnight camp and making all preparations for leaving by the 6 a, m. train Fairman left the hotel equipped for the expedition. He effected an entrance into the dining room window of the house ho had selected to plunder just as 2 o'clock boomed from several public clocks. To one of his long experience the collec- tion of the exposed silver And its arrange- ment in a compact bundle were short work. Then he went up stairs, fueling his way and occasionally darting small disks of light into tho gloom from a dark lantern. He should, ordinarily, have been oontent- ed with his seizure of silver plate, but tonight the spirit of daring was strong upon him and he would not turn back. Entering a small door to the right of the landing at the top of tho stairs he was as- aending, Fairman walked softly into a small passage. In tho quick radiance of his lantern's momentary exposure he noted a heavy door at the farther end and this he opened with so firm a wrist that no sound whatever followed. When be faced the door, there had been. no gleam of light at either the keyhole or phinks, but when it opened, to his horror, he stepped into a brilliantly lighted libra- ry, occupied by an old gentleman whose face Was toward him. With no loss of self possession, Fairman closed the door behind hint and sough , the protection of a fanny semen near Outdoor. To retreat would have meant discovery, and be waited until he could slip out un- observed. Peering over the screen, Fair - man noticed that the old gentleman drop- pod to his knees in silent prayer, undue he watched be beard smothered sobs that seemed to fairly shake the venerable man's form. "Then of a sudden they ceased, and in a low undertone of appeal ho heard the words of prayer uttered aloud: "Our Father, who art In heaven, thou to whom man turns in the hour of trou- ble, even us the child to its parent, I kneel tonight to implore in the abundance of thy mercy that my boy, wandering somewhere in the world, shall this day be returned to me. 0 God, grant that poor, wayward Frank, my deceived and foolish boy, shall see in this time of peace the op- portunity to Dome back, that I at least may look upon his face before I ant called to the long home. I pray"— Further ut- terance was abruptly chucked by a storm of volent'grl'of that in any beholder would have stirred volumes of pity. To the silent watcher behind the screeu tho heartbroken cry brought more. His face paled and was clouded with agitation and profound bewilderment, and his excitement grew with every word of the appeal. Tho old man bad risen to his knees and paced the floor slowly' Then, actuated by a sudden impulse, ho walked to the win - clow, throw open the folding blinds and raised the sash. In the chill air with un- covered head he passionately renewed his prayer. "It is all I ask, all I wish for, in what life is left me—that Frank should return. Any why not today, why not now, when all the bitterness o1 limn:m ty is buried in hosltnnas to thy glory and Iltan's brother- hood? Is it too great a boon I ask that after all these years he they be again where he wast • Cannot one of those glorious stars beckon him the way? Surely ho lives and surely he will come home. "Oh, Frank, Frank, Frank!" "Father, I and here!" Silently Frank left his concealment, and there by tho window, regardless of his mis- sion, ho went to his father. It was not in human heart to resist the appeal. And there they sat, hand in hand, until the creeping gray dawn silvered tho windows and gleamed on tho fallen snow. In his excited state the appearance of Frank at 2:30 a. in. seemed to his father the most natural thing in the world. But when Frank's misdeed, which drove him to leave home Lord all its ].owing associa- tions—the theft of money to hide extrava- gances—had been discussed the happy fa- ther began inquiring as to Frank's mode of life since that occurrence and now. Frank, who was sincerely repentant, bad hoped to avoid this by some skillful lying, but the return of the silver to its proper place bothered him greatly. More- over, his dark lantern made a bunch on his breast, which he feared .night arouse inquiry at any moment. But as he saw the depth of his father's love and realized that deceit upon his earnest love would be more than crime he wavered. It was a fearful thing to con- fess to his father that he was a burglar, had been a burglar for the past ten years and possessed a small fortune in other men's property and cash. It was especial- ly bard to shook the heart which now overflowed with supreme happiness. But bis father was a clergyman, and to him confession of sin meant more than to othermen. Perhaps he would forgive him, and at any cost Frank could never live at home with that awful shadow hanging over hint. If he failed to forgive, Frank calculated, he could still catch that train. At last ho found the way opened to him for confesgton. "Frank, my boy, it has just occurred to me to ask you how you came to answer my prayer by your visible presence:" 1 "Father, the reason is very simple. I was robbing your house." Frank's future hung on the next few words. The answer did not comp for some time, and then it was in the form of a question. ' "How long have you been a criminal, my boy?" Tho words cut like a knife, but Frank did not shrink. "Ten years, but, oh, father, if you can forget, my criminal career ends at this • hour. I have no plea to make, in excuse. I fell because I imagined your attacks upon evil associations were old fashioned. I have sinned, but repentance and atone- ment will be ming as far as possible if you will but take me home again. Upon you, father, rests my disposition of life and soul. You may save or you may send mo to prison. I am tired of being hunted from pillar to post, and—and—I want to sec mother." For tho first time in a decade tears stood in the oyes of tho iron nerved crimi- nal. He had risen now and held out his hands in a dumb plea for mercy. On the left wrist dangled a rubber ring for the dark lantern to swing froin. It seemed like a handcuff. For just a little while the old man sat silent, looking at the white face above him. Then ho rose and took tho outstretched hands in his own, and while from the snowy streets outside there came floating tlto silver murmur of Christmas bells, fa- ther and son clasped hands over a chasm of crime and sorrow, and Frank Fairman, burglar, was a burglar no more.—London Tit -Bits. Some Corncob Pipes. The observant Jerseyrnan held up to view what appeared to be a nicely finished corncob pipe. "Years and years ago," he said, "I learned to smoke a corncob pipe and to love it. In those days we whittled them out with our pocketknives, stuck elder or reed stems in and had pipes that were cooler and sweeter than any meer- schaum. With recollections of those days I strolled into a tobacco store the other day and bought this cornoob for only 8 cents. "I loaded this pipe and lit it. As the bowl warmed up I detected a strong odor of rosin coming through with the smoke. It was disagreeable, but I thought it would pass off after a time. It didn't, but grew stronger. I smoked a second pipeful, and the odor grew even stronger. Then I dis- covered that my teeth wore all coated with rosin. The varnish on the pipe, vaporized by the heat, bad passed with the tobacco smoke into my mouth and settled on my teeth. I don't care for rosin on my teeth, and anybody who wants it can have this fanny corncob pipe. "—New York Sun. Between Them. "Yee," said Mrs. Catohem, "those are my daughters over there on the sofa. They have half a million between them." It was not until they were married to those daughters that the young mon who overheard the remark found out that Mrs. Oatohom referred to the rich old man ,who sat on the sofa between the girls.—London Pun.

I lost my appe- tite, and what little food I ate gave me great pain at the chest and around the heart. I had also a stabbing pain at the loft side, which made it difficult for me to breathe, "Both my legs from the knees to the soles of my feet were swollen and puffed out,' until I feared the skin would break. 1 was in agony night and day ; and so great was the gnaw- ing pain in the s!omach that I often cried out becauti, of it.

"One day fit .9 ngust (1895) whilst I sat by the lite, 1 took up LLOYD'S NEWSPAPER, and read about Mother Seigel's Syrup, I sent to Mr. Jones, the chenliet at Harlon, for this medi- cine, and after taking it felt ranch better.

Tho cold Mrs. Jones caught at Easter, 1895, was boa. an incident. It. may or may not have hurried along the crisis. Her disease was DYSPEPSIA, rioting, 88 it does, upon the organs of secretion, and in the end causing dropsy—a damming back of the water in the tissues. Had the trouble continued until the vial, organs werwcongeated, she mignt have died suddenly. Gradual death by dropsy le, howvvsr, the more common results. The practical taaohina of this, and similar caeee, is this:—Use Mother, Seigel'a Syrup when the first signs of dyspepsia appeal', and stop the mis• chief before it has time to become dan- gerous.
