After pondering over the matter for
some days / hit upon an expedient
that l believed would dispose of the
young man without public exposure or
resorting to crime. There was in my
employ at this time man whom

sions to be valuable assistant in
furthering the ends of Justice.
Reed hailed from the south, had
just arrived in the city and was In
quest of private lodging place. The
judges stepson was now occupying an
elegant suite of rooms in fashionable
location. He was 30 ompletely capti-
vated by Reeds assumed manners and
apparent wealth that he was delighted
at the opportunity afforded to secure
a roommate. The detective accepted
the offer made by his new friend and
soon found himself in quite a novel
and dangerous situation. He was the
companion of thief whose exploits
were liable to involve both in trouble.
He had led his roommate to believe
that he was himself engaged In ques-
tionable transactions and that New
York was the place to operate In.

trio went to the Merchants. Jones ac-

slyly to the judges stepson. After an
absence of some thirty minutes or
more Reed returned with the brandy.
He pulled the cork. While Jones was
looking out of the window he slipped
a small vial out of his pocket and, CIV
ing his partner an opportunity to see
1t, he turned the contents into the
bottle of brandy. He gave the bottle
shake and set 1t down on the table.
The judges stepson's face flushed and
there was tremor In his voice. He
seemed to comprehend the noxious
power of the venomous ingredient that
had been poured into the bottle. Reed

on account of the proposed trip. He
no doubt imagined broader field for
the exercise of his own peculiar talent.
On their arrival at New York they
registered under assumed names at
the Merchants hotel on Courtland
street.
For several days following they
strolled about the city, taking in the
sights and waiting for something to
turn up. While walking along Broad
way, near the old Astor hotel, they
chanced to pass a middle-aged man
who was gazing about in an uncertain
sort of way. His dress and manner
gave him the appearance of green
