a Detectives Close Call.

had previously been over the ground
and located the house, | was deputed
to watch the front while the others
deployed in the rear, and we were to
come together at given signal and
make rush for the house which was
a log cabin standing in an open field.
1t began to rain soon after we separ-
ated, and seeing now weather.
boarded house ahead of me, and
knowing that | was in the right
neighborhood, concluded to stay
there a few hours until after the rain
subsidized. There was no danger of
the counterfeiters leaving, Knocking
at the door, | was admitted. Inside
were five men and a woman. They
showed me up stairs to my room, and
as the man who piloted me left |
heard him turn the key in the door
and l knew that / was a prisoner.
Then | saw the house was of logs and
had recently been weather-boarded
In few minutes ! heard them CON
sulting together in the hall, and |
felt that my doom was being sealed.
Dropping out of a small window at
the end of the room, I reached my
horse just as they discovered my
escape, and the ball from a rife
whistled past my head as l mounted
the horse. A regular fusillade fol-
lowed, and the bullets came close
enough for me to hear them, but
succeeded in reaching my compan-
ions, and We surrounded the house
Just in time to catch them as they
started home. "-[St. Louis Globe
