The young man arrested in Baltimore Monday with a bicycle in his possession proves to be Walter R. Stewart, a former clerk In the city post office in this city, anc’ when Detective Rhodes went to Balti- more and got him he confessed that he had taken the bicycle from Assistant Building Inspector Holmes, and said that whisky cavsed him to take it. He returned here with the officer, and yesterday he was ar- raigned in Judge Miller's court on a charge of grand larceny. The prisoner was not represented by cour sel, and he admitted the facts charged. Judge Miller held him for the grand jury, and he was ccmmitted in default of $300 security. A young man named Frank Fitzgerald was in the dock on a charge of theft, and he, too, attributed. his downfall to the use of alcoholic stimulants. Mrs. Louisa Hilton, a colored woman, tola the court that Fitzgerald, who was with a huckster wagon, came to her house selling vegetables, and she gave him a $10 ncte to get changed. He went off and did not return. “I asked the woman for the loan of a dollar," and when she gave me the $10 bill to get changed I got drunk.” The court ordered restitution, and im- posed a fine of $20. Tn default of payment of the $30 he was giyen two months in jail. John Jackson, @ colored man from Georgetown, wd inthe toils because of his gccd Inck when he yent fishing. He didn’t catch many fish, byt he did hook a line and reel from jhe river, and John Allnut claimed them. -He had been fishing a few jays before, and while neglecting his line a fish had gone off with it. Jackson declined t9 give up the reel and rod, but this, Judge Miller said, was not larceny, and dismissed the case. The reel was turned over to Allnut. The Cattle Market. At the Unicn stock yards at Benning yes- terday there were 10% cattle cn the market and sold as follows:’Best sold from 3 1-4 to 3 1-2 cents perpound; gcod sold from 23-4 to 8 cents per pound; medium sold from 2 1-4 to 2 1-2 cents per pound; common sold from 13-! to 2cents per pound.

(Back numbers can be obtained at The Star office.) CHAPTER XXI.—JUSTICE DREV PLAN. The keepers withdrew on this occasion without waiting for either prisoner or visi- tor to request it. “You are not standing captivity as well as I thought you would,” said Golding, with an assumption of his condescending affa- bility. “What do you want?” asked Mr. Warren, with an accent that caused Golding to re- spond, in surprise: “You ask that as if I wasn’t the first who had called on you this morning.” “You're not.” Golding looked sharply at the prisoner, and Mr. Warren debated whether it would be safe or expedient to tell him about Wanga. The black man had sald that Golding feared him. No harm to Elsie seemed to threaten from the disclosure he refrained from making it at the mo- ment. He would see what this pe had in mind first. ‘cnn to tare up and down.” olding, presently, in a ‘I can get you out of this. The prisoner made no response. “It's a question simply of terms,” con- tinued Goilirg fter a momeat of waiting. “Dutton's diamon¢ vi “Certainly. I told y ways than waiting on Freeman's possible recovery. “And this 1s one of them,” interrupted Warren. “Well, let me tell you right now that you can propose no terms that would do any good, so far as the diamen are concerned. I don't know where they are, except one, and I never saw but that one, and it is beyond my power to give it to you.” ¥otWas it the President?” “1 think 80." Golding looked genuinely distressed. “What became of it, Warren?” he asked, | weakly. “See here, Golding,” exclaimed the pris- oner, “I think I can talk to you, for you are a civilized man, or were one, before you went to Africa and got the diamond fever. Heavens! what won't that do to any man? I want you to forget your passion for dia- mondsfin general for a minute, and for Dutton’s diamonds in particular, and talk with me as man to man, as a’man with something like human sympathies in his heart. Can you do it?” “] suppose I can,” replied Golding, consid- erably surprised by this appeal, “but 1 warn you that I'm pretty sure I know w coming to and that I shan't he. it for accomplishing my end. Mreeman ard I were too long in the wilderness of Afri together not to learn something of each ther’s secrets.” ‘The prisoner s “My wife and I had t ble knowledge of us,” nd that isn’t what I want to speak of at all. You may use that for as much pressure as it's worth, but it won't effect nothing, for 1 don’t know anything about the diamonds, I tell you. My daughter Elsie has gone.” Golding started in evident surprise. “Where? When?” he asked eagerly. “Yesterday noon she left the house to meet the young man she is engaged to. She was to cross the meadows in front of my house. She hasn't been seen since. Your warrant was served on me just after the seareh wa! begun. If your heart hasn't turned abso- lutely to stone, I don’t need to tell you what suffering and sorrow these accursed dia- monds—" “Of course, it does, man, of course it does; the girl has gone off with them!’ and Gold- ing began to tear up and down the room, raving and stamping. His noise attracted the wondering atten- tion of the keepers in the public room, but they did not venture to interfere. The ec- centrie justice had been wakened by one of them and informed of the first visitor to Mr. Warren. “You ought to have arrested the negro!” growled Justice Drew, “but if the man Gold- ing comes, let him ‘go in and do as be cases.” you're head emphatically. over your proba- So the keepers who had taken all the law they knew from the justice for as long as they had known what law was, listened in wonder to the sounds excited conversation in what they callec “the cage” and let it continue without interference. te io use | Mr. Warren allowed the wild rage to pro- ceed for a time without interruption; he saw that it was indeed impossible for Golding to shake off even for a moment the avaricious ion that had supplanted all ordinary otions and impulses within him. ‘I told you,” Golding continued, “that nobody could resist those diamonds, es- pecially the President, and, least of all, a young wonan. I ought to have known! Why didn’t I guard against this? But what could I kave done? The diamonds were in your house; you wouldn’t let me into your confidence, party because of this old-time secret and partly because you wanted the diamonds yourself; and <he girl found them, and, of course, she made off with them, and by this time she has been joined by her lover—" .. Golding,” said Mr. Warren at last, ‘you're a lunatic.” The cool contempt with which this was uttered brought the excited man to a halt. He glared at the prisoner. “I say you're a lunatic, for a fool would know better,” continued Mr. Warren. “I see there’s no use of appealing to your sympathetic side, for you haven't got any. So, I'll prove to you that my Elsie hasn't taken your dirty diamonds, and we'll see what you'll do about it. A black man came to see me this morning—” Golding started so violently that Mr. Warren paused an instant, and when he returned he simply said: “His name is Wanga. “Wanga in whispered Golding, face ite and his ips widely parted. nen everything ts lost!” “Rubbish! rubbis! exclaimed Mr. War- ren. ‘Do you suppose that if I could get out of this place I'd be stopped or dictated to by a diabolical savage like that? What | kind of a man are you, anyhow, to be so much upset by a mere boy?” Golding was trembling. Had there been a chair in the room he would have sought it for support. Ag it was, he grasped the bars of “the cage” and bowed his head upon his arms. Mr. Warren turned away in disgust. “You don’t know Wanga,” groaned Gold- ing; “you called him diabolical; you don’t know how true that is.” “I know what he has done. He has car- ried away my little girl, and holds her as hostage for Dutton’s diamonds, and I can’t give them to him. Can you imagine that I care the snap of my finger what becomes of your charges, your affidavits, your in- formation and belief In the face of this? Don't you suppose that if I had the dia- nonds I'd give every one of them to have my Elsie back saft Wanga who did for Freeman— s, he told me‘so.”” “What fiendish audacity!” jot at all! Don’t you see he had the whip hand in dealing with me? What could I do? Raise my hand against the black demon, and—my Elste could suffer. Do you think I could have called on the guards to held him? He's not alone. There’s some- body with him, Sam —. I forgot his other Sam Meeker ts keeping guard over if Wanga doesn’t return at _a given time, when I don’t know, Sam will—man! are you listening? Sam will murder my little girl!” Golding stood with one hand on the grat- ing his head down, looking abstractedly at the floor. “Yes,” he said unemotionally, “I reckon Sam_would.” “Well, can't you do something about it?” cried Warren beginning to despair of arous- ing the man, even through his cupidity. “My daughter will be murder “You're free, you've made me _a_ prisoner. You know I'm innocent now, whatever you thought before. You're not going to stand there and be balked by a mere kid of a savage, are you?” “You don't know Wanga,” returned Gold- ing without moving. “I know that he's as human as you are, and that he’s braver and abler, and that he’s got the same insane greed for dia- monds that has wrecked whatever manhood you ever had. Wanga can be beaten if there’s a man to try it.” Mr. Warren’s unmeasured contempt was evidently without effect on Golding. After a moment he looked up and said: “You said something about the President. What do you know of it?” Mr. Warren turned on his heel, too pro- foundly exasperated to reply. “What have you done with the Presi- dent?” Golding’s voice was discouraged, melan- choly, and he seemed like a man broken under a great weight of sorrow. | Wanga, such as Golding ch | will take good men to circumvent him. j story short. unfortunate Cod-liver oil suggests consumption, which is al- most unfortunate. Its best use is before you fear consumption; when you begin to get thin, weak, run down ; then is the pru- dent time to begin to take care, and the best way to take care is to supply the system with needed fat and strength. Scott’s Emulsion of cod-liver oil, with hypo- phosphites, will bring back piumpness to those who have lost it, and make strength where raw cod- liver oil would be a burden. A substitute only imitates the origin Sours & Bowne, Chemists, New York, Soc, 20d $1.00 = ——= “I gave Wanga a note to my wife,” an- swered the prisoner, “begging her to get it from Dutton’s clothing, and give it to the black man for the release of my daughte: “You did!” cried Golding once more, showing some sign of activity, “then it is at your house. It's been there all the time! I knew it! How long has Wanga been gone?” Mr. Warren felt the most intense hatred for the man on the other side of the grat- irg. But for its presence he felt that he should fall upon him to such purpose that the warrant for his arrest could serve for a new charge of a similar kind, a charge be- ing made merely in the name of the victim. “I refuse to tell you,” he answered be- tween compressed teeth. “Tren I'll find out from the guards,” said Gelding, starting toward the door. Mr. Warren made a last appeal “Golding,” he cried, “won't you lift a hand to save my daughter? Think of your rezponsibilities in the matter—" “I know nore. It was Freeman’s fault. If I can get the President I will do what I can with Wanga. Look here! you've used pretty harsh lenguase to me. I don’t cher- ish resentment on that account, for you're naturally greatly worked up, but I tell you that if you had made an ally of me in- stead of an enemy in the beginning this might not have happened.” He hurried from the room and banged the dccr after him. “Guard! Guard!” shouted Mr. Warren at the top of his lungs. One of the keepers came in on the run. “What's the matter?” he gasped. “Can’t you tell Judge Drew I must see him? It’s a matter of life or death! Quick, as you hope for mercy above!” “I'll ask him,” returned the keeper, run- ring out. Mr. Warren paced up and down in agony for several minutes. At last the eccentric justice came in. “What can I do for you, Mr. Warren?” he asked, in a quick, low tone. “In heaven's name, judge, send somebody on a swift horse to overhaul Golding. He's “He told them simply what to do.” going to my house to commit theft, and if he succeeds my daughter will be mur- cered!” The justice stepped to the door and said to the keepers: “Tell Williams and Jackson that I want them at once, here, with horses saduled.” Then returning to the grating: “That doesn’t mean that I am necessarily going to comply with your request, but it's my way if thete’s a thing to be done in a hurry to make ready for action first, and explain afterward. Now tell me about it.” “I shall have to tell this to you as a neighbor, not as an official, judge.” “Well, go ahead. I don’t see that I am bere in my jud.cial capacity. What is it?” Mr. Warren then related the circum- stances of ls e’s disappearance as he knew them, the suspicions directed toward the two tramps seen on the mountain, and, finally, Wanga’s proposition for Elsie’s re- lease. “On my sacred word, judge,” he conclud- ed, “the only diamond I know anything about is at this moment in my house in Dution’s vest pockei. Golding demands it. He has brought this trouble on me in order to force me to give it up. I foolishly told him about giving Wanga a note to take to my wife about it. I firmly believe he is now driving as fast as he can go for Granite, w.th the intention of getting that stone by stealth or force. Do you see that if he suc- ceeds and the black man fails to get the diam nd, my daughter is doomed?” “Yes, I see; supposing these men to be as culd blooded and desperate as you think they are. It would not do to overhaul th black man. That’s clear. Cunning as he is and accustomed to making his way through the wilderness, it would probably not be possible to overhaul him. As to Golding! I don't see that there is any charge upon which we can arrest him; however, we can protect your house, Mr. Warren.” “| was certain you would do what can be be done. But there is this to consider. If the black man sees the house guarded, he may not dare to approach. “We will hide our men.’ “And you en counsel my wife to give iiamond?"” UP toe ot uo that very well, but in view of what you tell me about Dutton, I don’t be- lieve you'll have any difficulty in getting the use of it. Have courage, Mr. Warren; I think your daughter will be found, and that we shall be able to give this extraor- dinary black man an experience in an el in jail.” ATT hope ser and yet—I cannot feel that anything is so important as the rescue of daughter.” my think you're right, and I see 8 way by which we may not only save her, but cap- ture the black at the same time. Our man Jackson is an experienced woodsman, and Chief Williams, with all his nonsense, Is a brave officer.
