<2 com lor ov aR ais 1 é of the many qualificafions of the Unite- | ed States marshal, aside from his bril- liant civil service examination, was his tremendous strength and _ physical prowess His home was at Troy, the great breedi ground of rugilists, and his boast was that no man had ever downed him.

“My only regret about tHis busi- | ness,’’ he said, with a flash of his fine | eyes, “is that it depriv me of the

chance of locking horns with Tom Dis-

coe. I have been often told that he would do me if I gave him the oppor- t ity, but now the question must re- I unsettled—that is,’ he added, significantly, ‘“‘so far as other olks @re concerned.’ ‘If yeu are seeking honotrs of that } nature, it will be more to your credit to overcome the man who overcame

The front door had been clesed be- fere our stirring interview, but the two officers slipped forward, one to the front and the other to the rear window. They expected a desperate fight and were ready for it.

It need not be said that they astounded at what thev saw. Discoe was tying on his back, with his ankles tied together and a pair of handcuffs encircling his wrists.

‘I don't believe you did it—that is,

you didn’t do it fairly.”

_- ll pledge myself to treat you fair- ly,” I remarked, placing myself in | front of him. ‘What is this to be?’

Marshall Welling laughed at the odd-

y of the thing.

“We'll lock arms and then see who

can place the other on hiés back.” Covey Cone drew off ané waiched us

with an amused expression. Even

the rogue on the floor showed some in-

The next moment our.arms were in- tertwined. I could not help admiring

the muscular development of this splendid athlete, who noe doubt would have overcome Tom Discoe in a fair

| struggle.

Our position was not facing each other, but in accordance with the country fashion of wrestlers who place themselves side to side. We stood thus a minute, when the officer put forth his strength. with great skill. He came within a hair of lifting me off mv feet and throwing me.

“Try it again,” I said. “ You may do better.”

Without any evidence of my discov- ery, I glamced at the closed door on the other side of the room, wonder- ing how quickly I could make my exit therefrom.

The second window was near the dcor, and peering through the panes was another man, evidently as much perplexed as his companion by what he saw.

This gave me hope, though ‘it did not

wholly remove my misgivings until, leoking again, I recognized Covey Cone. That made it clear. He had

followed me to this place, arriving at the most opportune time conceivable.

“Come in, Cone. I have every- thing readv fcr you.”

The summons could not have lessen- ed the amazement of the officer, wh» drew back from the window, raised the latch, and entered.

“Mr. Westcott, I’m sorry, but I shal;

Cone broke into laughter. Mean- while Marshal Welling, having heard what hed passed, came round to the frent and joined us.

fleor, with his feet kicking the air.

Thinking it best to end the maiter, I bent over and gently placed him on his back, despite his furious struggles.

“Well, Tll be hanged !’’ he gasped, “You can’t do that again.”

“I think I can.”

Forearmed, he now fought to prevent my securing a hold upon him. I must admit that he conducted himseif with great cleverness, and I could well be- lieve that he would have proved the master of almost anyone in a wrestling dout.

But within the following ten seconds my feat was repeated, and I used only one arm to do the trick.

“I give up,” he said. ‘Tt’s the most wonderful thing I ever saw. To look at you, no one would suspect you were a veritable Samson.”

I fiushed at this remark; but, know- ing its innocence, walked to the table, picked it up and crushed it as if were an eggshell.

The three men, including the pros- who had writhed to a sit- ting position, stared im speechless amazement.

“Say, boss, you’s rooned dat table.”

Steph had left his post and stood in the open door, not the least astounded

ef the spectators. “How much is its value ?’’ “A dollar and a half a de leas’.”

I handed the African a five-dollar

“That will make it right.’

‘““Gorry nation! I sh’d say it will. you can smash all Ge furnitoor in de mansion for dat.”

“T’ll answer for him.”

Without cutting the rope imprison- ing his enkles I snapped it apart and jerked him to his feet.

“You can’t trust this scoundrel. I will fasten his haads behind him.”

The moment the handcuffs were re- racved he made a sudden, fierce effort

to break away. I knew he would do it, and hurleé@ him against the side of the house with a force that caused i:im to drop to the floor partly stun- ned. By the t!me he fully regained his senses his wrists were secured be-

The deputy had done his duty faith- fully. Jake Huke was standing in the middle of the highwey with his guard at his post when we joined him. A minute later we were on our way to the Palisades, scrambling and tum- bling down the steep path to where Captain Greea was awaiting us with tis beat.

of them are strictly modern and some quite occidental. At the great shrine of Kompira, for example, you will find a curizusiy modern ex yoto—a life preserver bearing in English letters the name of the ship Tosa, to which it belonged, and you may notice there also among old fashioned ex voto pictures of junks saved from wreck by divine power new pictures of steamers end modern schooners similarly rescued by the god.

At nearly all of the greater temples and at many of the smaller ones you can see spoils of the war with China. Among these are gatling and armstrong guns, canister shot and 82 centimeter shells, mannlicher rifles and martinis, colt re volvyers and winchester repeaters, not to speak of Chinese banners, uniforms and lances—a vast part of the captured arma- ment having been thus disposed of. The

«soldier of Meiji indeed salutes the gods as he salutes his comman-<ers, and the officer, unsheathing his sword, presents arms be- fore the Shinto shrine in western military fashion. But the reverence expressed is the reverence unchanged of a thousand years ago.

Vhe festival for the military dead is eele- brated now with horse races and with modern gymnastic games. But the old belief in the real presence of hero souls makes the same appeal as in other days to the heart of camps. How little also the influence of Buddhism has been weakened, even in the military word, may be divined from the fact of the great festival held in 1896 on behalf of the spirits of the cavalry horses that perished in the war.—-Lafcadio Hearn in Atlantic.
