For weeks the search was without
reward, but at last the case frightened.
A man was found, of whom several
horses had been purchased by man
much resembling Livingston, but here
giving the name of Peck. The horses
were shipped to Buffalo, whittier "Mr.
Peck" stated that he was going.
Here was long-sought clew, and the
officer lost no time in visiting Buffalo,
to learn further of Mr.. Peck's present
abode. Another disappointment met
him here. The freight books showed
that the horses had been received two
or three months previously, and taken
away, but nothing further was known
concerning them or Mr.. Peck.
Nothing daunted, however, the in
quiry was pursued and finally tho
horses were traced TO q stable, but
were now owned by Mr.. WEIGH. Sew
eral other animals were purchased, and
the whole then shipped to Chicago.
From the description the officer was
convinced that Livingston, Peck and
Welch were one and the same person.
Arriving at Chicago, he found that
the horses had been taken away, but
the most careful inquiry revealed moth
ing more. AS they had not been re-
shipped, the officer concluded that they
had been driven into the country.
There were some breeding mares
among the stock, and he concluded that
the party, whoever he was, designed to
open a stock farm. Finding all other
attempts to trace the horses vain, he at
tempted to learn if any farm suitable
for such purpose had been pur-
chased recently, and if SO, by whom.
At one of the real-estate agencies he
found that man from the east, named
William Livingston. had been looking
for such place, and had finally pur-
chased one, but where was not known,
certainly not in Cook county, as an ex-
animation of the records proved; but
the officer reasoned that it could not BE-
far from Chicago, as the stock was
apparently driven instead of being
shipped.
1t, reasoned the officer. Livingston,
who was without doubt the criminal, has
purchased a farm Of this character, he
must buy a large quantity of tools,
harness, saddles, wagons and like goods

whom he had known a year or two,
but who had disappeared within the
past month, after paying up some old
debts and buying one or two fancy
horses Further inquiry brought out
the fact that Livingston was in very
straitened circumstances but u few
months previously, and how he could
honestly obtain the means to pay his
old debts and CRAFTY his love for horse
flesh was not SO clear, and gave fresh
encouragement to the persevering de.
tective.
To follow Livingston was necessary,
but how could he be traced? He had
disappeared, and no one knew when or
whittier. What then was to be done?
Should the trail be abandoned and the
case given up as one of the mysteries
that batfied solution?
Never, said the indefatigable officer,
and he went to work with desperate
energy to unravel the tangled skein.
He finally reached the following con-
illusions: The perpetrator of the
forgery was Livingstone; he was good
deal Of horse fancier, and would
doubtless spend considerable portion
of his dishonest gains in the purchase
of fine stock; and further, that the
stock would be purchased in New
York, as that market promised bet
ter selection, and the criminal consid-
cred himself entirely safe from detec-
ton.
The first step, therefore, was to learn
if anyone had recently made any ex-
tensive purchases of such stock, and il
SO, to run them down and see who they
were.

IN WARM WEATHER.
The Best Way of Keeping Milk During
the Summer Months.

The Best Way of Keeping Milk During
the Summer Months.
There is no better method of keeping
milk than aeration, Z. C.. cooling it down
to average temperature by agitation,
by any method that will force large
quantities of pure air through the vol
ume of warm milk. 1t is better than
to employ ice to do this. The simplest
plan is to have some large tin pans
with perforated bottoms placed about
eighteen inches above each other.
then pour the warm milk into the top
one, allowing the milk to pass through
the successive pans to the bottom,
where it is found cooled to seventy de-
grees or below, and it will keep all
right if the temperature does not great
ly change.
The principle, as stated by Prof. j.
w. Robertson, is this: milk contains
the germs of fermentation of various
kinds, the most active being what are
known as ribriones. The less oxygen
there is in the milk, the more active
they are. When oxygen is abundant in
fresh-drawn milk, they are inactive.
Warm milk left undisturbed in warm
weather soon generates carbonic acid
gas, and in this, these vibriones find
fruitful resources of life"
The milk should be aerated as soon
as drawn, for if these sources of fer
ment once get started, the oxygenation
of the milk produces no effect. 1t is
never wise to mix nights and Il orning's
milk, for the older milk, as a rule, be-
gins at once to act as a starter upon
the other half, and sourlng commences
the quicker. Pouring with big dip
per is good way, but costs in arm
power. A small hand bellows, with a
detachable bent tin tube that will reach
to the bottom of the milk can, makes a
cheap but effective aerator.
The use of ice is not regarded with
as much favor as formerly. While
under the influence of the ice the milk
is all right, but when the milk is re-
moved and its temperature begins to
rise, ferment starts soon after, and
the milk is valuable then only for
present use; the milk and the use need
to be brought into close relations at
once, if sweet milk is the want.-Cor.

or the City bank OF New 1Ork uiSco'-
cred that they had been swindled out
OF seventy-five thousand dollars by
means of a forged check for that
amount, purporting to have been drawn
by Commodore Vanderbilt. Nearly a
month passed before the fraud was dis
covered, and in the meantime several
other checks for large amounts, drawn
by the same party, had been honored;
so it was almost impossible for any OF
the bank officials to remember with
satisfactory distinctness any OF the
circumstances connected with the pay
ment of the fraudulent document.
However, it was placed in the hands OF
a shrewG detective, and he went to
work to find a clew, and trace out the
mystery.
The officers first suspicion was that
some of the clerks of the bank had
been in collision with the forger, and
doubtless shared the profits of his
crime. After two weeks scrutiny OF
the character, habits and associations
of the various clerks that theory was
abandoned, and it only remained for
llllIl W SdJuSI CilCll. IL pooSl
some clew, however slight, of the bold
operator His first inquiry was if any
one, not in the habit of presenting
checks, had been seen doing so within
the past month. Only two of the clerks
had any memory on the subject, and
theirs was of the most shadowy and un-
satisfactory character. One remem-
bered seeing stout, elderly man drive
a strikingly beautiful black horse and
fine carriage up to the bank, enter the
office and transact some business, he
knew not what, and depart, since
which he had not seen him.
The other clerk, after a thorough ex-
animation, and multitude of questions
put to assist or quicken his memory, at
last concluded that he did recollect a
strange man, who entered the bank
one day about the time the forged
check was presented, and had draft
cashed for a large amount. A pc
culiarity in the mans necktie attracted
his attention, and he looked him full in
the face and retained vivid recollec-
ton of every feature. He was an
amateur artist, and especially expert in
pen-drawing. Taking a sheet of paper
and an old pen which was lying upon
the desk he quickly produced por-
trait, which he declared to be a good
likeness of the man he suspected.
The officer did not look upon these
clews. if such they might be called as
promising much hope of success. He
first exhibited the drawing to the clerk
who had seen the suspected rogue drive
up with the fine black horse, and he
confidently identified it.
Here at last was some encourage
ment. The first attempt was to trace
the horse and carriage, and discover
who owned or who had hired such a
rig. The effort was unsuccessful; the
officer, however, was convinced that
the man, whoever he might be, was
an admirer of fast and stylish horses,
and he therefore commenced a search
among the establishments devoted to
the stabling and sale of such animals,
hoping that he would find some one
who could identity the parties
After going to nearly all such estab.
lishments, exhibiting the portrait, he
came upon man who recognized in
the drawing one William Livingston
