Their Last Hope Gone.

When the minister praised the rasp-
berry jam at Mrs. Green's bountiful
Saturday night supper, he could not
imagine why Angie and HCTatto, tho
twins, gazed at him so r~eproachfully.
Don't you like raspberry jam, my lit
tie MANI" he asked Horatio.
Eyes, sir, I do, and Angie does"
said Horatio, in distinctly resentful
tones, and mother told is that she
was afraid the last she made wasn't
quite up to the mark, and If you didn't
praise 1t, Angie and l could have it for
luncheon on our bread, for Mrs. Willis
and Mrs. Shedd never said a word
when they ate it, and you've made the
third; but now she'll use 1t for the
church sociables," and Horatio looked
gloomily at his twin, who returned the
look in kind.-Youth's Companion.

only stave off the trouble for a
short time.
The good hearted southerner's sym
pathy was not confined to words
alone. He went at once to her little
store and paid the $500 demanded by
the keeper and left her 500 besides
to relieve her immediate wants.
1t was only a few days following
this when Detective Fitzpatrick con.
cluded to enter the Widow Woods
place of business and make a thor
ough search. He had obtained some
new evidence in regard to her deal
ing with queer" money.
When he entered the suspected
place he discovered that 1t was nearly
empty. Everything of value had been
removed. A number of cheap arti-
fetal flowers, bits of worn ribbon and
lace and empty bandboxes constituted
the stock. 1t was all appearance and
no value. The little room in the real
Of the place had been the Madam's
living quarters; 1t also was empty ex-
cept a few tattered garments strewn
about.
What puzzled the detective most
was to account for the removal of the
goods without attracting his attention.
The movements Of the woman had
been carefully watched and the de-
tective had recognized the Carrondo-
lette street broker as he visited the
widows store, and the exit shortly
after of a man very much resembling
the stranger who had met the Widow
Wood in the cemetery on the occasion
of her arrest. 1t finally came to light

lat the broker had been done out of

that the broker had been done out of
four hundred dollars by the widow
who had planned the keeper scheme
with a confederate.
After diligent search about the city
the detectives were unable to learn
the whereabouts of the widow, who
had skipped out for parts unknown.
Detective Fitzpatrick was fortunate
enough to secure a photograph of her,
and a number of copies of it were
made and forwarded to the branches
of the secret service in the various
cities of the country.
She was first recognized in Cincin-
natl where she had offered a five-dol-
lar counterfeit bill. When arrested
and searched, no other bad money
was found upon her person, and she
was released for the want of sufficient
evidence.
A secret service officer carrying
the widows photograph was sure he
had met her while on his way from

not quite certain, but was sure enough
to attempt to follow her for the pur-
pose of learning her location. She
probably "tumbled" to the detective
while he was cycling her intently. She
did not affect to notice him, but man
aged, however, to give him the slip.
Just before the train arrived at Jer
sey City, the suspected woman goi
up from her seat and stepped into the
ladies retiring room at the front end
The detective was keeping his eagle
eye on this place when the passen
gers in front Of him arose to leave
the car. He worked his way as rap
idly as possible towards the front exit
and rushing to the ferry landing, he
took a position where he could care
fully view the face of every woman
entering the ferry boat. Not seeing
the suspected woman he was the frs
to spring ashore on the New Yorl
side where he again scanned the facei
of the women as they passed. He wal
disappointed and ready TO kick him

had been done for.

year or more after the occurrence Of
the incident just related. when the
same detective while rambling about
the city CHANGED to meet a well
dressed woman who bore a marked
resemblance to the little milliner. She
turned her head and gave him a side
glance as he passed. He kept along
at a considerable distance and turned
Just in time to catch sight Of her as
she stepped into Johnson's millinery
establishment. Taking up a position
at a point ~diagonally across the street,
and sheltering himself a little in q
doorway, he was enabled to distin-
guish persons as they passed in and
out of the shop. While he stood
watching, a bright looking boy came
along with a bundle of newspapers
under his arm. The detective called
him up and bargained with him to
do a little piping" for him. When
the suspected woman came out of the
millinery store she was pointed out
to the boy who was told to follow her
and, If possible, trace her to her
home. The boy was promised SIS for
the job if his information proved to
be correct, and he was to meet the
officer later and report. When the
boy came back to the officer he had
followed the woman to a little shop
on Ninth venue. He said she went
in and took off her bonnet as though
she belonged there.
The detective reported meeting the
woman who had so nicely escaped
him and had located her In a small
store on Ninth avenue where there
hung over the door a sign that read
Fine Millinery Work Done Here"
1t was quite reasonable to believe
that the woman was none other than
the naughty little milliner from New
Orleans and that she was then doing
business in New York. officer Fitz-
patrick of New Orleans was the only
detective on the force that could pos
itively identify her, but 1t wouldn't
do to bring him for that purpose as
she would be sure to see him first,
and having been put upon her guard
she might fly away.
The idea was to plan a ruse for the
purpose of capturing her with evil
dence to convict. For this purpose

it was necessary to bring a new maj

1t was necessary to bring a new man
into the field, and l chose an elderly
gentleman who was then employed.
He was a c%ountryman born, and did
not have to act the part, as it was
perfectly natural to him. He ap-
peared simple in his ways, but was In
reality remarkably shrewd. The little
milliner might have been surprised
n morning to receive a visit from
a country dressed old gentleman, and
she bllnked her large brown eyes as
he entered her little shop. But her
lips assumed a business smile as she
said, BE seated, sir"
The room was neatly furnished,
and there was a display of ready
made bonnets, flowers, etc. The door
of her little trimming In the rear
stood open, and 1t was plainly seen
that the floor was Uttered with bits
of ribbon, clippings of velvet and
small remnants Of silk and lace. The
old gentleman smiled pleasantly; the
woman gracefully sank into her chair.
She folded her hands in her lap and
inclined her head coquettishly to one
side and looked like a polite inter.
rogation point. The old gentleman
explained that his daughter who lived
over in Jersey had asked him to pur-
chase a nice bonnet for her, and as
he passed along the sidewalk he had
read her sign and Just stepped in. He
told her that the novelty Of a bonnet
making concern had always attracted
his attention and that he would like
to talk with her about her kind OF
business.
"Of course / will tell you all about
It," she said good humoredly. Il guess
you will get tired Of listening before
I get through"
She was a good talker and appeared
TO be a mi Of refinement and edu.
cation as she prattled along. She
said she had once been rich but had
been unfortunate; her husband had
died from disease and a young and
only daughter had been killed in q
railroad accident. AS she talked
glibly she was all Che while exhibiting
her stock In trade.
