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 marked
resemblance to the little milliner. She
turned her head and gave him side
glance as he passed He kept 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 q point diagonally across the street,
and sheltering himself little in a
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 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 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 little shop
on Ninth avenue. He said she went
in and took Off her bonnet as though
she belonged there.
The detectiyt reported meeting the
woman whq<Shad SO nicely escaped
him and Md 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
itiyely 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 ruse for the
purpose Of capturing her with evil
dence to convict. For this purpose

FLAX IS PROFITABLE

Western Canadian Pralries.

So much Is heard Of the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and so much has
been told of the wealth, to be made
out of the raising of cattle on
the, succulent and rich grasses
OF those fertile plains, that q
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that on one Of the

Buffalo, there were 241 900 bushels OF

Soat leaving the same day there were
28S,000 bushels valued at $4,000.
There has been big demand for Ca.

movement has been very heavy Flax

the farmer who Is anxious for quieA

chance he is looking for. There is

many of these are available within

panies at reasonable prices.
The display of western Canada's
grains in the straw as we'll as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration OF what the country can
do. It proved splendid as an illustration
of the resources of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year

duce excellent yields OF wheat, oats

The goodehearted southerner's sym
pathy was >not confined to words
alone. He went at once to her little
store and paid the 5000 demanded by
the keeper and left her 800 besides
to relieve her immediate wants.
It was only few days following
this when Detective Fitzpatrick con-
cluded to enter the Widow Woods
place of business and make thor.
oush 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. It was all appearance and
no value The little room in the rear
Of the place had been the Madam's
living quarters; It also was empty ex-
cept few tattered garments strewn

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-

widows store, and the exit shortly
after of man very much resembling

four hundred dollars by the widow
who had planned the Keeper" scheme
with 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 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 forlthe 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 the 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 oA 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.
