anu Russian roland. tie was huUWu
as a common pickpocket and had been
engaged in what we call second
story robberies 1t was not surprising
to know that he had finally added MUIR
der to his catalogue of crimes. Bus
dorf arranged to arrest him, but Wool
Rich took alarm and left the country.
The shrewu German, however, knew
that the fellow would return, SO he
bided his time and waited patiently.
He learned that Woolwich was infatu-
ated with the eldest daughter of a
widow who lived in Myslowitz, SO he
| kept a close watch on this house, but
a man, even though he be detective,
| must have his intervals of rest, and
one evening Busdorf quit his vigil,
| leaving substitute to watch the
| house. This was in February of the
| present year, on the night of the
| eighth of that month. The murderer
crept back to Myslowitz sand went to
| the house of his fair charmer. The
daughter happened to be away from
| home.
The mother did not like the young
man and was decidedly opposed to the
match She knew of his misdeeds and
| that both Germany and Russia had
| offered rewards for his arrest, so she
| decided to give him over to the police.
! She managed to send younger
| daughter to the authorities. During
| the interval she entertained her I'M
| desirable visitor in the sitting room of
| their modest home. The young girl
| could not find policeman. so she
| made her appeal to a prison guard
whom she happened to meet on the
| street. He was unarmed, but started
Immediately for the house.
Woolwich saw him coming in the
| front door. He suspected that it was
trap. He hurried out and met the
| guard half way, and when the man
| tried to arrest him, pulled his pistol
: and shot at him four or five times. He
| left the bleeding man, while he ran
| down the street and once again
crossed the bridge and made his way
into Russian Poland.
| 1t must be remembered that all this
time Busdorf had not seen Wool
wich. But he had a description of
him and good photograph. Besides,
he was certain that he had once ar
rested the boy for pocket picking. He
| got on his trail now in earnest. Be-
fore many days he received tip that
| the murderer had been seen in Halle,
| the quaint city of Prussian Saxony.
| He went there and caught a glimpse
of him standing beneath the old clock
tower which is one of the show places
4 of the city. The detective and >the
criminal played game of hide and
seek. They went in and out OF the
| Church of Our Lady, the famous
| Moritzburg stronghold, and the
grounds of the University of Halle.
The disciple of Cain next proceeded
| to Bremen with the stolid but per-
sistent detective still on his trail. In
| that city Busdorf met peasant boy
and asked him the way to the nearest
police station.
81 don't know" replied the youth,
with a Polish accent.
Don't you live here?"
mo- nodded the peasant.
With that last word they recog-
nized one another. The boys dis
guise was good, but it was penetrated
by the detective. But by clever
| strategem the clever youth eluded
| him. and once again Busdorf lost the
| trail. He regained it in short time,
however, by persistent work.
| Although Busdorf had left his cor
net at home, his thinking faculties
were still in good working order. He
! sat down and reasoned out the whole
matter to his own satisfaction. He
| decided that Woolwich's destination
| was America and that he had dis
I guised himself in the belief that his
youth and his peasant dress would
permit him to enter the new world
| without suspicion. Having reached
| this conclusion, the detective secured
| a list of the various immigrant board
| ing houses in Bremen-and they were
quite numerous in that city-and Wis
| tied them one by one. He had gone
almost to the end of his list when he
found the proprietor of house where
the fugitive had evidently taken tenn
| porary quarters.
| "He answers your description,
| said the boarding house keeper, but
| I am not certain that he is the man
you want"
well, we will soon determine
that" said Busdorf,
| "How?" asked the proprietor.
by permitting you to take look
at this picture" and the detective
pulled out cabinet photograph of
| the youth of whom he was in pursuit.
That's the man! That's the mani"
| cried the landlord. But I'm afraid
you are too late"
| "Why?"
HE left the house about two hours
ago and said he was going to leave
the city
| What did he mean by THAR"
| II think he meant he was going to
America
what makes you think that?"
Because the steamer 'Zeitan' is to
sail this afternoon"
