A well built body and gineral muscular appearance sug- | gested good health, and his complexion was not much worse than that of his less closely confined fellow convicts. At the time of his imprisonment in the underground cell he was about 35 years old On all occasions, when a privileged visi- tor was taken to see Jeliffe, the official explained a lttle how Jeliffe lived. “He spends hours every day In gymnas- tics,” he would eay. “He 18 one of the strongest men 1 ever had to guard.

If y' don’t git away I'll walk t'rough y' an' it might disregulate y'r insides.” It was then that the “mix-up” had occurred; larvey had “walked t'rough” Nettl male Kinsmen, at all events, greatly to the discoloration of their outsides, and quite literally had brought away his bride. He had not beaten her since more nor oftener than ghe needed; she herself stood ready to testify to this with every outward accom- paniment of rage the instant she heard him accused, and she surely ought to know how often and to what extent she was in need. Nettle was more than a little good to look upon and it is possible that her tolerance was great, because, no matter how heavily he struck her, Harvey was careful never to disfigure her face. They had oune child—Blanch—of whom they were both devotedly fond. Detective Ackeray was not given to what the young women novelists would call as- sorted sentiment. He had heard members of the oMclally gentler sex cry out insults to which nothing but a good drubbing is an answer, and that an insufficlent one; and had seen women tantalize a man to deal the blow which would dishonor him, until, from the point of view of a member of the emergency; one of the strong, dumb souls to clear the court; his honor passed sen- tenco of $10 or ten days. Detective Ackeray paid the fine In the corridor of the magistrate's court he gave Nettle what he would have been pleased to call “professional” advice. “See here, Net, the next time 't I chew the rag with you about cuttin’ up in the streets an’' boozin', you want to listen— se0? She 4id ot listen tho next time, nor the time after, though it need not bo doubted that she was Impressed—yes! and subdued and attracted—by the might and decision of the prince. Sho had loved Harvey, mainly because he had vanquished her kins- men, and a little because he had beaten her us often as she needed it and not oftener. In equal logic she ought to have loved the prince, mainly because he had vanquished Harvey, and & little because, it he did not beat hef to silence her tongue, he had dis- covered a method of procedure which much more nearly silenced it than anything that Harvey had ever done; and the strong point of every woman is logle—the women In their conventicns and clubs say so. But the second strong point of every woman Is her gift for concealing her logic. Nettie Jeliffe concealed hers, so far at least as Detective Ackeray concerned, as long as in all human endurance a woman could She became an old offender in the several ty fired him with a desire for re- “Ho's the only fellow that can straighten the matter out,” he explained to the warden, | “and I want to have a talk with him." | “You're afrald you'll be arrested on being | turned loose from here, is that 1t?" asked the warden. “That's exactly It,” sald Harvey, “and 1| think 1t Ackeray ‘Il go to the front for me I won't be bothered." | ““All right. Ackeray's goin' to bring l\nmv} prisoners here in a day or so, an' I'll let him know." Threo days later Detective Ackeray arrived at the great -——— penitentlary with a batch of penitents, for whose bodies he was given a receipt by the warden. He was in- formed ot Harvey's desire for a talk with him, and was immediately impressed with the importance to himself of such a talk. | Possibly he might find it to his advantage | to arrange matters so that the alleged sus- pended sentence should be carried out. “Sure, I'll seo him,” he eald to the warden. “Where s he?" “You'll probably find him over in the doctor's office.

Oh, he's a phenomenon, all right. No doubt &bout that.” Harvey Jeliffe had not upon his first en- trance into prison been the demon of the place; he had been a most exemplary peni- tent. Later he had committed a murder in the prison itself, and bad’escaped the death penalty only a surmise, to which he himself refused in the least to assent, of lnsanity. It had been plain both to judge and jury that a man with but a short term still to serve, who committed a murder that must be brought home to him, could not be wholly of sound mind. When he got & life sentence he promised openly “to do for’* the warden, and that {s lese majeste and treason and half a dozen other heinous things, besides being foolish. In the mean- time, while the warden showed respect for his own skin by keeping out of the way, Harvey kept himself in practice by knock- ing the “screws” heads together and mis- cellaneously spoiling them, for weeks after thoy had passed through his Rands, for a visit to their sweethearts. Therefore, as Wwas but reasonable, he had been ecien- tifically paddled and subjected to hot w: ter in immoderation, and to electricity, and had been strung up by the wrists for thirty- #ix hours, as a modest minimum, at a stretch. When he had proved after these delicate attentlons that he really did not understand kindness, he was pronounced by the warden and became the prison demon, and was dealt with as such. L AU N T S In connection with the “Harvey Jeliffe cas a8 It {8 sometimes called, there @ppeared not long ago in the public prints & paragraph entitled “An Experiment Ponology,” which read thus: “The warden of the ———= penitentlary has had built a very remarkable cage in which are o be confined two prisoners who have here- tofore been an expense to the state which it 1s hoped the innovation will very con- ®iderably reduce. One of the prisoners fs the well known professional, Harvey Jeliffe, popularly called the Prison Demon, and the other {s a murderer who, If not so inherently drreclaimable as Jeliffe, has to be confined in a separate cell guarded by extra prison officers. The plan s to put these two men into the cage, and, If possible, to make them | work. Whether they work or not, however, At Is belleved that imprisonment in the cage s the most fitting punishment to be meted out to such flends. It was suggested to the warden (hat the two men might turn upon each other and do grave harm, but this pos- bility does not seem to give the warden e e in 4 " hersell to Detective Ackeray' " | nd revised by great concern.

Since the publication of this paragraph there have been a number of public state ments by professorial eriminologists, who have examined Jeliffe in regard to his de- gree of degeneracy, and the consensus of opinion among them fs that physically, as | well as mentally, be is a pronounced type | deserve to be treated like a lady,” he had once been heard to declare, beiween his teeth, as he bundled a bounet and skirt, eteetera, roughly fnto a patrol wagon. To be sure, the exasperation had been extreme. The bounet and skirt had behaved more as It they contained a larger member of the cat specles than a woman, and one side of Detective Ackeray's face had been laid open In broad bands from eye to chin. The point 1s, however, that Nettie Jeliffe did act like lady, according to Detective Ackeray's standard at least, and he once happened to bo present when Harvey Jeliffe was ex- ccuting a bit of matrimonfal discipline, and threatened to “run him in." The discipline was being glven in the street, and Ackeray would not have been 4 “fly cop” had he not belleved it to be his right to take a hand in all street hap- venings. Harvey belleved it to be his right to administer any chastisement that he thought his wife needed wherever it proved most convenlent. “This % my clrcus,” he said, deflantly, when Ackeray threatened to “pinch” him. “You rubber too much with y'r neck, you do. If you can't do anythin’ better than mix yourselt in family affairs, why I'll help you to get over the habit "I tell you those, t0o," Nettie declared, boldly championing her husband’s right to bring her up according to his best light. “If you fly cops ‘ud take care o' your own fam'lies the way you try to take care of other people’s, you'd save more money. You're an old woman, that's what you ary 1 wouldn't be found dead livin' with you, ““Sock it to him,” “HIt him where he lives," “Kick him out o' the streets,” bystanders suggested, and Nettle was emboldened to continue her “‘roastin, “You jus' try to pinch my Harvey,” she went on. “W'y, you long-legged, leather- headed front office stiff, I'd rather have my Harvey kick me reg'lar ev'ry mornin’ than drink & bottle of sham with you ev'ry night. You go home an' see 't your own wife don't need a little trouncin’.” Detective Ackeray was not hurt by the frankness of Nettie Jeliffe's speech; neither did he find it dimivished her “lady ship.” On the contrary, he was old-fash. foned enough to think a generous lie g grace In womankind, and that a family quarrel s a sacred function so long e the family stands ready to present a united frout against tae intervention of an out- sidor “‘Loug-legged, leather-Eeaded front ofce sU" is not & hackneyed term of endear- ment, and if Nettle Jeliffe had been search - ing for a phrase by which to recommend the fles! be minded only bounets and skirts with feline, fiendish contents; and it stands recorded that whereas before Nettie Jeliffe had ridiculed him he had pronounced her a “clipper,” after she had ridiculed him he pronounced her emphat- ically a “corker.’” No very definite ideas are nttached to elther of these words, but they both express admiration, and “corker' s more nearly extreme than ‘‘clipper, ' Later he was heard to say that “that little woman Is too good for Jeliffe,”” and that he would do her a good turn and what she derly and the complainant always Detective Ackeray; and sometimes as the months passed she had been drunk and she had al- ways been disorderly. She could not go back to her kinsmen—her mere presence re- minded them too vividly of an unpleasant incident, or coruscation of incidents, which had taken place at the moment of her de- parture. She could not retain a position even when she got one, because of the fre- quency with which she was under arrest; and besides the fact that she was Harvey Jeliffe's wife was not commonly regarded as a recommendation. Ackeray paid her fine, or let her pay, it herself or work it out, as a jockey might gentle or punish a spirited horse which he took & pride in tralning. Whether he pald her fine or not, he always repeated to her that the next time he tried to chew the rag with her she had better listen-—-see? Her absences from home and her proved intemperance made her an improper guardian for little Blanche. When the child was taken away trom Lef, also at the Instigation of Detec- tive Ackeray, Nettie Jeliffe listened. Three months afterward she was legally and absolutely separated from Harvey and was married to a man whom she addressed sometimes as “George,”” sometimes as “dear,” and little Blanche, who was re- stored to her home, was outspoken in her approval of her new papa. Detective Acke- ray was “‘George.” He was also ‘dear.” m. It has been remarked in the first part of this tale that H y Jeliffe on becom- ing a penitent in the great —— peniten- tlary had no notlon or intention of ever bidding for the notorlety that has come to bim in later years as the prison demon. He went to the “stir” originally with the idea of getting all the ‘good time" that the law allows & man who has been sen- tenced to four years, and of keeping out of all rows his wife had advised. He did that which all wise men who are sent to prison do; In the language of the pugilist, he gathered himself together. Men who g0 to prison for the first time have more difficulty in achleving this feat than those who have been there before, but to live at all successfully—and even prisoners have their standard of success—all must sooner or later hit upon a plan by which they are to deal with their guards and fellow- penitents with as little frictien as possi- ble. Even with the most careful there are moments when they entirely forget their philosophy and do things which {n the open day they would never have been guilty of; long confinement will disturb the mental equilibrium of wny man, but all must which would have made some men com- | mit suicide that he was innocent of the erime tor which he had been convicted, but he knew, also, that it was no use to let this fact govern his policy as a prisoner 1t was not for him to ask the prison world how or why his conviction had come about; it was for him to be an exemplary convict And so, wondering all the while how things were going ‘“on the outside,” and continually struggling with an impatience | at the way the world is made, he worked Ackeray immediately with foul treatment of him has never been dgcided. The two men were in conference, according to the testimony of the guards, about half an hour, and it seems reasonable to suppose that Harvey could only have Interested Ackeray this length of time by reference to the sus- pended sentence, but in view of what hap- pened one is justified in wondering why he should bave wanted to interest him at all. Harvey himself has persistently refused to make any statement one way or the other. When the doctor returned to his office Harvey was found sitting in & pool of blood on the floor, eutting iuto small bits with a surgeon's knife the heart of Detective Ackeray, who lay dead and mutilated in a | corner of the room. At the trial it was | reported that Harvey had mumbled to him- self s he cut: ‘‘So much for so much, for that and for that,” but no intelligible Inter- pretation of either expression could be dis- covered and they were eventually ac- cepted as contributory evidence of his In- sanity. PSS SRR, ENGLAND T0 TAKE A CENSUS, Enumerators Will Perform the Entire Work in One D Under the direction of the government board tho register general and his coad- Jutors are already preparing for the census of the United Kingdom on March 81 next. As it happens the date falls on a Sunday and that day has been chosen because most people are at home then. The people of Great Britaln—England, Scotland and Wales—will be counted simultaneously with those of Ireland. In both cases the arrange- ments are on individual lines, except that Ireland will have a religlous census and the rest of the kingdom will not. Preparatory to the census of ten years ago England and Wales were parceled out into 24,000 districts, so that allowing for the growth of the population the number of districts next March will fall little short of 40,000. Each district will_have an enumerator, his duty being to distribute, collect and copy the householders' schudules. In sltuations and establishments holding more than ‘100 In- mates will be speclally enumerated, in the majority of cases by the chief resident of- flcers. Appointed about the middle of Feb- ruary, this army of enumerators will be | under the immediate control of the local | registrars, these in turn belng supervised by supcrintendent registrars. The enumer- ators will distribute the householders’ schedules during the week prior to the con- sus day and collect them on the Monday following.
