LOST GEMS OF ART

Mysteriously Vanished.
WORKS OF THE OLD MASTERS.

lias been aa enigma for several liuu
ilre.l years
From time to time lost pictures come
again to the knowledge of the world,
as when the original of the Diilxvlch
Velasquez. the "Philip IV.," was found
in a I'olish nobleman's castle: when
the portrait of Isabel de Valols. Kins
| Philip II."s third wife, by Coeiio— the
| original of ilint by Pantoja de la Cruz
in the Prado— was finally identified nt
i the Grafton gallery, to which the Uaek
war of P.aroda had lent it: when Tl
tian's "Perseus and Ariadne" was
I found by Sir Claude Phillips in the
| bathroom of Hertford llouse, and Bot
ticelli's "Pallas and the Centaur" was
i identified by an English critic, forgot
| t'-n and unuotlccd In an obscure place
' In the UtHzl gallery—a queer place to
lose a picture in.
It Is declared that no fewer than 400
[ portraits by Sir Joshua Reynolds have
I disappeared The historians of art—
j the "Anonltno," Vassnri and many an
| other—speak with adm'.ration of pic
j tures so innumerable which have I
i passed Into the limbo of the unknown
| that the announcement of a discovery
is rarely treated w-ith absolute skep
i tlcism. even In the case of the greatest
i masters. There is plenty of room for
the appearance of a number of early
works by Valesquez—de Beruete gives
a list of them—but especially the por
trait of Fonseoa, which cave to Veles
(juo7. his footing in Madrid, and more
particularly the equestrian portrait of
Philip IV., which placed him so quickly
upon the pedestal.
Or take Corregglo. There Is the pic
ture of "The Savior," a copy of which |
i hangs in the Prado. There is the "Be
l pose In Egypt," the"Uerodias"triptych,
i the "St. Bartholomew," the "Young
| Man Fleeing From the Captors of
Christ." "The Birth of Venus" and "St.
| Mary Magdalen" and others besides
all lost
And Titian (a group of whose mas
| terpleces were burned in a great Kng
| li.-h country bousei. where oil earth is
| his portrait of Isabella Conzaga and
her sou, which is known to us through
I the copy by Pordcnone? Ciiorgione
alsi. lie is so rare a master—rare
alike as to numbers and In quality—
tl.at the recovery of his "Birth of
Venus" would be an event of tlie very
l;!ghc-l Imporianr-e in the world of art

LEGALLY
DEAD
By JOHN Y LARNED
] once asked my friend Jenkins, a
criminal lawyer, if there were not pe
culiar secrets locked up In the breast
of a man of his profession, where
upon lie told me the following story:
"If 1 hadn't been a criminal lawyer
I think I should have been a detective.
Criminals never interested me especial- ]
ly, and 1 never had much sympathy
with them. But here and there comes
up a person about whom circumstances J
reveal what is hard to break through.
Vou have heard the fable of the lion
in the net released by the gnawing of
r mouse. Well, In such cases It Is
fascinating to be the mouse
"Not that l'ui going to tell you a
story about getting off a person ac
cused of crime by one of those Ingen
ious methods we read of in detective
stories. I'm going to give you a case
where a man whom 1 believed to be
guilty was condemned for murder, and
I discovered that he was innocent too
shortly before his death day to war
rant my reopening the case In a legal
way.
"A murder was committed. The
murderer not only lied, but left articles
by which he was known. lie mado
good his (light and was not heard from
in three years: then he or a man wbo
was his double deliberately walked
into the towu where the murder had
been committed. Being met on the
street by one of those who had been
lorn,- looking for him, he was greeted
with the words:
"'For heaven's sake, Collins, what
did you come back here for?'
"•Collins: That's not my name"
"No reply was made to tills. A pair
of handcuffs was slipped ou the stran
ger's wrists, and he was lodged in
Jail.
"1 was the man who drew up the
case against Nathan Collins for the
state.
"The accused was au Englishman
and claimed that his name was Lang
don. lie admitted that lie had been
wild and had been disowned by his
family. But when his attorney asked
him to call upon his family for identi
fieation he said that he would take his
chances of proving it without their as
sistance. adding that he bad been
away from them so long that he doubt
ed If they would all swear that h»
was their kinsman.
"I had no difficulty In securing his
conviction, and he was as much sur
prised at it as 1 would have been had
he been acquitted. I was somewhat
staggered at his first remark after his
conviction. It was:
" 'Well, here's a pretty kettle of fish!
"That didn't sound like a guilty man.
It seemed to me rather the remark ot
one who had got into a bad scrape and
had begun to realize his position.
"It seems singular to me looking
back at the case, that no further ef
fort was made to prove that he was
what he claimed to be. Lie said that
it would be useless to apply to his fam
ily, for they would expect anything of
him, even murder. Another reason
was that he had a cousin who would
be beir to his father's estate at his
father's death were It not for the
black sheep of the family. At any
tale nothing was done, to save him.
Tlie trutii Is no one inteTeStea in
him. and be seemed to have been
stunned by his position.
"The night before the morning ap
pointed for the execution Jim Wilkins,
the condemned man's attorney, came
to me with a letter postmarked Man
chester, Euglitnd. and addressed to Sir
Charles Laugdon. it had been seut to
the British consul general. How he
came to forward it we did not know.
Jim and i looked at each other with
eyes wide open.
"'I wonder if a mistake has been
made!' Raid Jim nervously.
" 'It's possible,' 1 replied.
"Well, we took the letter to Lang
don, who as soon as be looked at It
said: 'Dad's gone and Ralph's gone,
and that rascal George must be knock
ed out or that letter would never have
got to me.'
"He opened the letter, read it and
showed it to us. It was an announce
ment that by the death of his father
and brother he had succeeded to the
title and estate.
"Here was proof of a man's identity
who was to be executed within a few
hours. Jim and I called up the gov
ernor by 'phone, but couldn't get him.
What was to be done? The sheriff
was on hand, and we called him In for
consultation l.'ather than execute an
Innocent mail, he agreed that If we
would stop I lie mouths of the neces
sary witnesses to the execution with
money lie would execute a dummy and
turn the live body of the prisoner over
to us. Sir Charles said he was rich.
So Jim and I advanced the funds.
There were only live persons to grease,
and they all knew the reason why
they were greased.
"Sir Charles i.angdon went to Eng
land, legally dead in America, and I
believe became a steady country gen
tleman anil much respected."
After the liuHiing of the story 1
asked my friend, the lawyer, if that
experience did not make him more
cautious lu prosecuting criminals. His
reply was that a state attorney Is
employed to convict and a prisoner's
counsel Is employed to acquit The
trial Is a legal battle as between two
generals, who are not expected to In
quire Into the Justice of the cause they
serve. The victory is usually with the
heavy artillery, or the preponderating
evidence, and Is determined by the
Jury. The lawyers have nothing to do
but flghr.
Unmixed preferred.
