in the rain, vainly endeavoring to catch
glimpse of the other occupants. Finally the
lamps went out below and appeared upstairs
indicating that the occupants were retiring.
The detective looked around and laid his
plans little way up the street was larger
house that looked like hotel or boarding
house. Abbott went down town and found
a bright-looking boy in the telegraph Office
who said he knew everybody in the place
To him the detective said:
"pm deputy sheriff from up the country,
and I'm looking for horse thieves. I think
I've cornered EN- Walk up town and tell
me who lives in that big house and I'll pay
you WE'LL"
The boy was enthusiastic, and the twain
walked up town. The big house was board
ing-house, and the boy was sanguine the
thieves were there. Abbott then wanted
place to watch the house, and the boy sug-
gested his uncles photograph gallery just be-
low, on the opposite side of the street AS
they walked back the detective casually in
quired who lived in the different houses. At
the house where Mrs. Doren had disappeared
the boy said, "The Methodist minister lives
there" 1t happened that the photograph
gallery was directly opposite this house, and
the boy soon obtained the key, and the de-
tective was duly installed in his watching
place. Early in the morning he saw Mrs.
Doren walk out and around the yard. Later
the minister came out. Finally, about 10
o'clock, just as the telegraph boy had returned
to see how the deputy sheriff was getting
along with the horse thieves, man, whom
the detective partially recognized as Doctor
Doren, walked out He had worn fine,
long beard, of which he had been very proud,
and Abbott had been told he would hardly
sacrifice it. But the photograph and descrip-
ton tailed in every particular except the
beard. The face of the man across the street
was as smooth as you could make it. Point
ing him out to the boy the detective said:
"Theres the man I'm after. Who is he ?"
The boy was thunderstruck, and didn't
know. AS soon as the man had returned to
arrest that man right away. There won't be
any trouble, but he may slip out of one door
as go in the other. You go around to the
front door, and if he comes out you grab him
and yell murder, at the top of your voice,
and I'll be with you in minute. "
Abbott then went over to the house, raped
at the back door, and, as the minister an
swered the door, inquired for Mr.. Owen. At
that moment he saw Doren and his wife near
window engaged in earnest conversation.
The minister said "There is no such man
stopping here. You must be mistaken"
sob, yes, there he is, returned Abbott 81
live uptown here, and I've seen him and
talked with him. He knows me-" and he
brushed past the minister and entered the
room where Doren and his wife were. Step
ping up to them he extended his hand, say
ing: Chow do you do, DR.. Doren? Glad to
see you.''
The doctor with an amazed look, said,
"Some mistake here, guess. 1 am not Dr.
Doren"
"Oh, yes you are, confidently replied Alb
bolt. You're from Rushsylvania, Ohio. I'm
from Ohio, and I'm an officer of the United
States Secret Service, and l have warrant
for your arrest for forgery"
AS the doctor protested, Abbott reached his
hand in the doctors coat pocket and pulled
out pass book and some letters On the
book was printed "Dr. Isaac B. Doren, Rush
syivania, o." and some of the letters were
addressed to him and others to "R C. Owen"
Then the doctor said: ooh, yes, I am Dr.
Doren. I don't deny my identity bear in
mind. know all about that matter, and can
explain everything satisfactorily was just
about to start for Ohio to settle it up. How
in the world did you happen to come here?"
Abbott replied: "Oh, your wife here told
me where you were. 1 had no trouble in find
ing you"
Mrs. Doren Indignantly protested that the
officers words were false, and that she had
never seen him before. When Abbott de-
tailed her movements en- route, and showed
her the telegram written at Vincennes, she was
very angry, and abused her pursuer roundly.
The doctor demurred strongly to being locked
up, and offered to hire man to watch him.
but Abbott was memorable. To Jail he went.
Abbott found many letters that had passed be-
tween husband and wife, in which the former
