The Argus Daily Short Story
The Man in the Box-By John L. Everhart
Copyrighted. 1911. by Associated Literary Press.

When I first entered upon the de-
tecIve business. being inexperienced.
1 found it difficult to get a position,
and when l got one l couldn't keep it.
I had been tried by one or two agen-
cies, but had been outwitted by the
parties l had been sent to outwit. and
after one of my failures found myself
with no employment and not a cent
in my pocket.
/ was walking disconSolately along
an avenue occupied solely by dwellings
when / saw a negro man ahead of me
wheeling a box on truck. He seemed
to be talking to himself in a low tone.
and I came up behind him without
making any noise. Indeed, my foot
falls couldn't very well be heard be-
cause the day was wet and / wore
rubbers. Walking for short distance
behind him, / heard him say. when
l get to the steps going doTn into the
basement I'll call Look out1 SOS you
can brace yourself"
AS soon as l heard this / surmised
that somebody was in the box, There
seemed to me but one reason for any
OHG " DC llll4S lntdSCus anu lhol W do
either TO break or evade the law. Some
person was going to effect an entrance
somewhere in order to be concealed
in the box till favorable opportunity
should arise to commit a crime or
some one was escaping from the po-
lice. My detective instincts further
told me that If the person in the box
were going to rob he would be taken
TO a mercantile building. If he were
going to escape the police he would
be taken to a railroad station and
shipped as freight.
This last was my favorite theory. ]
knew that IT was much easier to ap-
propriate movable property belonging
to others than to get away with 1t and
turn It into cash.
Suddenly the negro porter turned,
wheeling the box into the basement
door of a handsome dwelling house
l had purposely dropped behind him
that IN case he stopped 1 would not
feel obliged to walk past him He
eased the truck down three steps IN
der the stoop. and just as he reached
the basement door it was opened by
maid.
"Ahar I said to myself. 'sThis IS
servants scheme. There are more
burglaries committed through the con-
nivance Of servants than any other
way. There IS man IN that box.
who when every one in the house is
asleep will get ont of 1t and carry off
what valuables he can End. We shall
see whether he win or not"
It was Just before dark that the box
was wheeled into the house. The
hour fitted my theory exactly. per
son would not wish to remain shut
up IN such uncomfortable quarters any
longer than necessary. Even as it
was It would be necessary for him
TO stay where he was for several
hours waited I'LL / saw the negro
go away with his truck. then cast
about for an excuse to visit the house
with a view TO locating the position
OF the bog. An advertisement dis
tributer had left some handbills puff
ing a face powder On the Stops along
the street Gathering few Of them.
I went to the basement door OF the
house I was interested IN and rang
the bell. The maid who had let in the
porter answered the summons, FIRST
lighting gas Jet IN the basement

as soon as she opened the door
saw the box standing in a corner In
the hall where the darby had left it.
The top was still on it. The maid
was a very nice looking girl, not one
to be suspected of admitting a bur
glar to the house. 1 asked her If l
could sell her some face powder, but
at the same time she saw me looking
at the box and shut the door in my
face
But since l had seen what wished
to see this treatment didn't trouble
me. I had very little doubt that /
had discovered an incipient robbery.
l was not doubtful as to the means
of preventing it. What interested me
was how to turn that prevention to
nv own account. II I went to the
owner of the premises and told him
that there was a burglar concealed In
his basement be would call the police.
the burglar would be arrested and
very likely the owner would give me
So for having furnished him the infor-
nation. l was after larger reward.
1t seemed to me that / would better
find out something concerning the peo-
ple who lived in the house. 1t was
handsome stone front dwelling and
could only be inhabited by wealthy
people. Fortunately l remembered
that the census for 1910 was being
taken. l would avail myself of this
fact As a census official l could ask
all the questions liked without sus-
picion. But l would likely be admit
ted by the maid to whom had tried
to sell the face powder, and 1t
wouldn't do to play two parts to the
same audience. i went to my room,
where / kept various makeup mate
RAILS and put on a different suit of
clothes and a full beard and mustache
and spectacles. Thus arrayed, 1 went
to the house in question. rang the front
door bell and was admitted by the
same maid as before. I told her that
must see the master Of the house
about the census. and she showed me
into the front parlor and went up
stairs
In a few minutes an elderly gentle
man came down. There was some
thing about him / didn't like at all
He had the erafhest face and eye on
him OF any man 1 ever saw. I had a
blank book in my hand and, opening
it preparatory to taking down replies,
asked him such questions as are usual
IL asked by census gatherers. 1 learn
ed that his name was Laurence Girard,
that he lived IN the house with his
niece. who would come OF age in
few days, and that he and she were
the only persons living there except
the servants, whose names ! took
down with pretended care.
Having asked all the questions /
dared. shut UP my book and depart.
ed One thing / had decided on-that
wouldn't trust that man to REIN
buFse me for any information / might
give him without security. As / was
descending the steps a man turned to
enter at the basement door.
'Do you live hereY 1 asked
yes, sir; I'm the butler"
I'm taking the census Let me sea
II have your name"
I looked in the record / had taken
and found the mans name-Riehard
Coyne- Then engaged him in con
versation- l found him uncommuni-
eeffve- 1 asked him what kind of a
