Short is one of the wealthiest vnlTno owners of Jasper county, operating and lead mines In that district. Six years ago he was a miner worliing for wages.

ah -ri was able to make a statement after his arrival at the hospital. Statament By Short. '1 had two pocket boo'ifs concealed in my berth" he said "one contained a thousoJid dollars In currency and In the other were a few dollars. It is my custoin to divide my money in this manner when traveling with a large sum. I ha4 always in case of a robbery that 1 would gurrenler the purse containing the smaller sum.

When the rpbber shook me an4 demanded my money I was for an Instant confused and only about half awake. During this Interval I moved the pillow and shoved back the covers exposing the purge containing the larger amount. Realizing what I had done, I tried to hide the purse in the bed clothes, but the robber was too quick for nie. 'What was he asked the porter, 'a pocket book' was the answer. "Reach in and get it" the robber commanded and despite my efforts to prevent it the porter grabbed the purse and handed It to the robber." "As he turned away I got my pistol from under the pollow and began shooting at him.

He returned the lire and disabled me. "He failed, however, to get a diamond ring valued at $2,000 and seven twenty dollar gold pieces, which were In a pocket of my trousers." The robbery of the Jopllh miner was the primary object of the giant bandit according to the police theory. According to a telegraiJi sent the police today from Grand View, by C. O. Gibson, conductor of the train the total amount obtained was $1,100 In money and a diamond.

Of this amount Mr. Short lost W. J. Scafer, Neck City, $66, and A. Seaman, Bureka Springs, Ark.

$35 and a diamond stud. At two o'clock this afternoon Short's pocketbpok, empty, was fpund on the Missouri river bank three miles east of the center of Kansas City. Nearby bloody foot prints led to a thicket. A cordon of police was thrown about the thicket and began to close in. It is believed the robber dangerously wounded was hidden in the underbrush.

As she came off the stage Sarah divine, the only Sarah sprang to meet me. Not even her long, arduous season in American vaudeville, trying as it has been, seems to have sapped much of her marvelous vitality.

The long clinging white robes Whicn Bernhardt wears, when she impersonates "Camllle," swept and swirled around her feet. About her neck was a rope of pearls and they caught my eyes" to her throat bared by her decol- lette seemed in color and texture to be that of a woman of thirty! Bernhardt was smiling as she took my hands in had been holding them out to say "good bye," for I thought this was surely a "farewell" at least the last time I was to see her on American soil, I could not see that Bernhardt looked any older than two years ago or in fact ten years ago, Her eyes, indeed, were no more sphinx-like or set than they were the first time I met her, twenty years Bernhardt'B eyes and mouth have always been the war with each other. Her lips are as softly closed and tremulous as those of a girl and her smile has the wistful sweetnesa of virgin youth. Her eyes, on the contrary, are those always of a woman who "knows" and who, knowing, is still full of the joy of living and the real enthusiasm of one who realizes what who asks ac- no It is to do battle and win; knowledges no defeat and quarter. "How do you do it?" I exclaimed as I always do when I see her.

"I have plans in my brain that will take me until I am 150 years old to carry them out and I am just, as enthusiastic over that far distant plan that will probably not mature until am nearing my con- tury-and-a-half mark as I am of tha one 'hiolii will probably carried out tomorrow, "There Is no pleasure in living after you have lost your enthusiasm. But there Is always SO MUCH TO LEARN; SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT; SO MUCH TO DO! "Growing old is not so much In the hardening of the arteries as it is in the hardening of the nrrihd and temperament.
