But all the while Linden had two
employees at the elbow of Mike Riz-
zolo. Both of these fellows were Ital-
ians. One pretended to be half-wit-
ted and managed to be in the company
of Mike all the while. He not only
worked with him, but he ate and slept
with him. Rizzolo on his part not
only gave the man his confidence by
day, but he poured his incoherent
dreams into his willing ear by night.
Detailed reports were sent to Linden
with religious regularity.

He lived in Baltimore then. and his
father owned a mill at Jones Falls
When the soldiers of George I'LL
marched through the city he stood
on the bridge and threw rocks and
oyster shells at them. This was the
first actual service Bill did for his
country, and he tells with pride that
nearly every missile he threw hit the
mark.
This began a career that is the mar
vel of officers.
When the magnificent armored
cruiser Pennsylvania was launched a
few years ago, the fact was recalled
by officials of the naval home that
Macabee's career was curiously bound
up with that of the new monster Just
being indicted into the service of
the nation.
Macabee was boatswain's mate on
the old Pennsylvania. At Norfolk
navy yard he gave the word to the
crew leaving the ship. Just before she
was burned to prevent her from fall
ing into the hands of the confederacy.
Later in the day he led the crew in
yelling in defiance to the demand from
the Merrimac to surrender after the
confederate ironclad had riddled the
Congress to the sinking point in tie
battle of Hampton Roads. Macabee
had been shifted to the Congress after
it became necessary to leave the
Pennsylvania.
Before giving up the Pennsylvania,
the crew made a noble effort to save
her. But finding that of no avail, she
was fastened to the Pawnee. towed
out into the stream and set afro.
Among the other ships on which the
old fellow has seen service are the
Delaware, United States, Ohio. Stark,
Connecticut, Vixen, Vandalia, Wabash,
Yorktown and Waterwitch.
Macabee's home was not far from

OLDEST MAN IN NAVY
BILL MAcAsEE SAW BATTLES OF
THE WAR OF 1912.
Began Career in Uncle Sans Service
81 Years Ago and Recently ceIe-
brated His 1o5th Birthday
Still Healthy Old Fellow.

Philadelphia.-Older in strvice than
any man in the United States, older
in years than any veteran in the SER
vice of Uncle Sam, binding with his
own life the earliest stage of national
existence with the present, William
Macabee has just celebrated his one
hundred and fifth birthday.
The old fellow is now living at the
Naval home. in this city, and has been
there for "a years. The celebration of
his natal day was the occasion for a
birthday party. at which he was the
guest of Admiral Miller, and many
noted officers called to pay their re-
spects.
Bills career in the navy began in
1914, so that he has been connected
with Uncle Sam for "a years.
The marvellous record of this old
fellow will perhaps never be sur
passed in United States naval records.
At the present time he has gone
ahead of all his predecessors, and as
he is still a healthy old fellow there
is every possibility that he will be on
hand for some time yet to tell his
experiences.
This story of the old fighter is
enough to take the wind out of the
average man.
Bills favorite way of beginning the
recital is to tell how. when he was

zolo's sister was married and he made
her present of 5000. A month later
he presented his brother-in-law with
$1,000 to set him up in the bakery bust
ness. Also, at sundry times he dis
played great rolls of greenbacks
which were certainly not the profits of
his business in Poughkeepsie. Finally.
about the 18th of January, Rizzolo
made elaborate plans for trip to
Italy. He arranged to sail on the
goth of January. Linden resolved that
the Italian should never leave Amer
lea. He had ample evidence. He re-
solved to arrest him at once So he
laid trap to entice Mike to Phila-
delphia, thus bringing him within the
Jurisdiction of the court.
The Italian responded. As he alight-
ed from the train. Linden came for
ward to meet him. Rizzolo was
somewhat taken aback at the sight of
the detective, but his nerve did not
desert him.
What do you want?"
Il want you to help me out on a
little case I'm interested in" was the
significant response.
They drove down to the Philadel-
phia office of the Pinkerton agency.
Linden Immediately escorted his man
into his private office.
Wait here" he said, I'll be back
in minute
Mike felt uncomfortable. That was

learning" which is dangerous thing"
because he said more than once to his
confidants:

before the alderman was not trial.
and that his discharge was far from
an acquittal. But from the moment
he was released his every footstep was
Swallowed: every house that he en-
tered was marked; every word that he
uttered was overheard, and every
penny that he spent was noted in
a little red book kept by one of Lin
denis rubbershoed sleuths.
Rizzolo seemed anything but a des-
perado. He was about "a years old
and rather agreeable looking. except
for his nose. which had a discolora-
tion which won for him from his coun-
trymen the nickname of Red Nose
Mike" He came to America from
Calabritto, in the province of Avel-
linon, near Naples. In his own coun-
try he was apprenticed to a barber.
But he was restless and dissatisfied
with this employment and wanted to
come to the United States, where. he
had heard, money was to be picked up
on the streets. On his arrival in
America he worked for awhile in New.

MYSTERY

Linden's purpose. The Italian looked
about him nervously. His glare rest
ed upon large portrait of Allan
Pinkerton, the founder of the agency.
The eyes of the veteran detective
looked down on the murderer accus-
ingly-at least he thought so. He
turned around and was greeted with
the motto of the agency, I'VE Never
Sleep He was very uneasy now.
Linden re-entered the room carrying
legal-looking document in his hand
1t was warrant for the arrest of the
Italian. Linden looked very solemn.
Michael Rizzolo, stand up!'
The suspect arose curious and fear
full.
What is it?" he cried.
Linden put his broad hand on the
mans shoulder.
Il arrest you for the murder of Nc
Clure and Flanaghan."
Rizzolo sank to the floor shapeless
heap of crushed humanity.
1t was some moments before he re-
covered his nerve. When he did so,
the detective said:
