He has been here for over a year
looking for you, and George Bolten,
or Often, as you have the name. OF
course you recollect that a robbery
and murder were committed on the
night you had Often in your cab"
Not l. SIR"
And you never knew George Oh
ten?"
mo, sir; never saw him but that
one time"
"He was the robber and murderer,
as we have learned in the last few
weeks from certain confessions that
he made before his death. Where did
you pick him up that night?'
Il don't remember, sir. It's a long
time ago. | think it was about Broad
way and Thirty-third street."
What makes you think so?"
Because that was my stand, and he
was the only fare l had that night"
But here is the strange thing about
it all: You made a note of the run
away, mentioning the name of George
Often, now Cabby, the truth and moth
ing but the truth. You are prisoner,
and will be in Bow street in ten days.
How did you know he was George Oh
ten?"
well, sir, when l got home that
morning l was cleaning out my cab
and found a package of papers under
the cushion, and the name on the
outside was George Often That's all
1 know about, SIR"
What became of, that package of
papers?"
81 reckon it may be knocking
around my shack somewhere, sir. 1
haven't seen it a long time-not in
years"
I'VE must have those papers at
once. We will go with you to your
home and look for them. They. may
cause your release; or your imprison-
ment. You seem to tell a straight
story. You will take us to your
house?"
Sure, sir; I'm only too glad to
show you I'm innocent of any connec-
tiCn with robberies and murders"
The wife of the man remembered
the incident of the runaway and the
finding of the papers.
Under the children's cot, in a SOAP
box, with a lot of plumber, the package
was found. In a big bold hand was
the name" George Often" The detec

The speaker had just stepped out of
a clumsy.looking electric hanson with
a companion. The machine had been
fooled into a side street, near Del

That's very true. sir But will yea
tell me how you hGppered to kiow
of it,"
Read this story"
The cCachman. far from being an
ignoramus. read the following extract
from morning paper of January 81,
1888:
Eighty-fCur men attended the reg
ular meeting of tho Confederate Vet
eran Camp at Hartman Lall night
before last, where there was a feast
in season and a flow of the bowl.
Most of the members went home at
midnight. A few convivial spirits re-
manned for a nightcap and song Or
two. About l yesterday morning five
started home. AS they reached the
sidewalk loud cries of Help! Help!"
were heard coming from the direction
of the Union club. The cries were
repeated, and seemed to be coming
nearer. Presently the clatter of a
horses shoes were heard, followed by
the rumble of wheels.
"A runaway" said one of the five.
"I'll stop him"
He ran out in the stPeet end waved
his umbralla, shouting "Waw! wawi"
An enormous bay horse was running
away with cab and the dri, or was
calling for assistance. The night was
bitter cold and his hands seemed to
have lest their power.
Help! Help"
Four of the five got into the street,
waving, shouting, lodging, retreating.
The fifth, seeing their futile efforts,
ran to then-. saying: You can't stop
horse that way. Leave him to me.
Hold my cane and overcCat."
He raced beside the horse until
their strides were about equal, then
gently took hold of the bit ring
There was no jerking or yelling. He
gradually leaned his weight on the
bit and spoke soothingly to the brute.
AT Fifteenth street the speed was
slackened. At Fourteenth the horse
had come to a canter. At Thirteenth
he wGs walking and at Twelfth he
stood still.
The rest of the party came up. One
opened the door of the vehicle and a
large man got out.
There's the gentleman who saved
your life!" he cried, eXcitedly, point
ing to the one who had stopped the
runaway and was still holding the
horse by the head. There's the
gentleman who saved your life, sir!
Go and thank him"
Instead Of giving thanks the big fell
low buttoned his coat close up to his
chin, pulled up the collar, pulled his
hat over his eyes and hastily walked
westward in Twelfth street He was
soon lost to sight in the darkness.
Curious sort of duck" remarked
one of the rescuing party. Maybe
he's offended because we saved his
life"
