Odd Tales. Of a Detective,
Some of the Many Queer Things He Is Asked 10 Ferret
Out-Man in High Position Suspected by Crank
of Intent to Do Wrong

I have had some amusing expert
ences in my time, said a confidential
inquiry agent OF long experience in
detective work in London. to a writer
in Tit-Bits One of the oldest OF
them happened only a few months
ago.
One morning a fashionably dressed
and attractive young woman called at
my Office and asked my assistance in
what | quickly discovered was an af-
fair Of love and jealousy. She had
reason to believe. she said, that a
woman friend, whose description and
address she gave me. was in the
habit Of meeting certain gentleman.
whose photograph she produced, and
she asked me TO keep a watchful eye
on the woman's movements for a
week and report results-which, OF
course. | promised to do.
She had not been gone more than
half an hour when another young
woman, equally attractive. called aud
conhded an exactly similar story to
my ears. As her tale developed l dis
covered. to my amusement. that she
was the one whose movements had
been instructed TO watch. and the
woman whom she suspected OF clan.

waited patiently for her arrival. An
end OF the fight seemed to have arriv,
ed when hostillties began afresh at
close range, the Arab on the poop
firing at Halstead. Lieut.. Bevan
bowled him over with bullet
through the arm and chest from his
revolver. Further opposition was
now useless and the Kitty came
abreast, the men from the dhow
throwing themselves into the sea TO
escape capture.
The prize was found to possess
French papers and to have come
from Jibutil. She contained some
eighty modern French rifles. 10000
rounds OF ammunition, twenty.four
barrels Of powder and four tons OF
lead. all OF which was conhscated by

Shaken But No Damage
Results

st. Louis, Nov 5.-This city and
vicinity experienced a series of earth
quake shocks. There is a difference
of opinion as to how many. The
earthquake was perceptible all over
the city. and was mostly felt in the
high business blocks in the downtown
section of the city. One occupant Of
a high building said his chandelier
swung three inches. The movement
was from east to west.
A long distance telephone message
from Louisiana, Mo, says that per
ceptible shock was felt there about the
same time.
Some of those in the high buildings
hurried to the ground before their
windows ceased to rattle. At the store
of r. II. Harris, where the shock was
plainly felt, several persons became
frightened and rushed out into the
street. Immediately after the shock
the weather bureau was besieged by
inqrlrers by telephone from all parts
of the city for information about the
earthquake.
A long distance telephone message
from Louisiana, Mo-, about 100 miles
north OF st. Louis, says: An earth
