1t was necessary to bring a new man
into the field, and | chose an elderly
gentleman who was then employed.
He was a countryman 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
one morning to receive visit from
a country dressed old gentleman. and
she blinked her large brown eyes as
he entered her little shop But her
lips assumed a business smile as she
said, BE seated, sir"

made bonnets, flowers, etc The door
of her little trimming room 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 polite inter
rogation point The old gentleman
explained that his daughter who lived
over In Jersey had asked him to pur-
chase 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 bonnet
making concern had always attracted
his attention and that he would like
to talk with her about her kind of
business.
"Of course l viii tell you all about
it, she said good humoredly. Il guess
you will get tired of listening before
/ get through"
She was a good talker and appeared
TO be a woman 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 young and
only daughter had been killed In a
railroad accident. AS she talked
glibly she was all the while exhibiting
her stock in trade.

year or more after the occurrence OF
the incident Just related. when the
same detective while rambling about
.he city CHANGED to meet 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 kent along
at 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 point diagonally across the street.
and sheltering himself little in a
doorway, he was enabled to distln-
guish persons as they passed In and
out OF the shop. While he stood
watching, bright looking boy came
along with a bundle of newspapers
under his arm. The detective called
him up and bargained with him to
do 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, II possible, trace her to her
home. The boy was promised SIS for
the job II 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 avenue. 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 small
store on Ninth avenue where there
hung over the door 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
lively 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

four hundred dollars by the widow
who had planned the keeper" scheme
with confederate.
AfSr 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 photograph of her,
and number of copies of 1t 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
Washington to New York. He was
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 tho slip.
Just before the train arrived at Jer.
sey City, the suspected woman got
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 first
to spring ashore on the New York
side where he again scanned the faces
Of the women as they passed. He was
disappointed and ready to kick him

had been done for.
