Speculation about the great burglary was endless. There was not the slight est clew, the "newspapers said. But there was a clew, and a very good one. I knew it before the sensation was 12 hours old. I was a clerk In the office of Dowling A- Rutherford, the regular attorneys for IHihamel & Co. Our firm had early the whole story of the robbery. On.- fa< t which the police knew was carefully concealed from the public. While the robbers were binding the first watchman the mask fell off the face of their leader. It was only a brief glimpse the man hud, but he swore he could never forget the face. The burglar. he said, was a heavily built man about if) years old. iff- had dark hair and small eyes, close togeth er, a heavy jaw and a short black beard. The distinguishing mark, however, about the face was a small triangular piece neatly snipped from the left eye lid. The scar gave the eye a peculiar cast. . The dramatic and picturesque had ever appealed strongly to my nature. 1 was keenly observant and had a eooj head. I therefore believed I was a born detective.

It was already occupied by a man and a woman, w'ho were about tlnlshlng their meal My mind was : tired out thinking of the robbery, and my thoughts were busy planning a bl i cycle ride lor the- following Saturday. The waiter came to take my order. ; and, raising my eyes, I looked straight across at my vis-a-vis. My heart ieap i-d, for there, I was certain, sat my rrntn. There was the round, close crop ' ped heud *• t on a pair ot heavy -boul ders. The ugly Jaw was clean shaven, but this went for nothing. There were the small, close set eyes, and, above all, as he bent forward I could see over the colored glass*'* he wore the nick In his left eyelid, dipped out us with a pall of scissors. Luckily the waiter spok" Just then, for I was staring with all my eyes. As It was, the man had lifted his head and was looking hard at me through his colored glasses. I ordered something, I scarcely knew what. I did not dare to look at the man again, but once or twice I glanced carelessly at Ills companion. She was a small, dark woman, young and rather pretty. She looked like a Latin and spoke with a marked French accent. Very soon the couple rose to go. I watched them to the door and then, laying a bill on the table, hurried after them. I followed them across Broad way to the cast side. They took a cir cuitous route, and once the man looked around. I was prepared for him, though; and was standing near a street lamp studying Intently a eard I held. Finally I tracked them to Madison street, where they disappeared into a tenement. I noted carefully the num ber of the house and came away. My first thought was to notify the police at once, but upon reflection I de cided that this would be to act pre cipitately. The resemblance might be only a coincidence, and tny love of ad venture prompted me to "work up a TKE AUGUSTA SUNDAY HBRATiP. mat mm ftaiftft ••»• mm mam fa* aftMa »M ft* ft ftM ft* WHS* ft* ' 'tft * a******* aa*« Mi. ift* ■ ftftk a*a (Ml* bb* ftftftftb* »•** *ft# . a nft>4 Mfti ft* Ift ft"** t t WMM «at Ift »«* * 11 *ftftaa**ab ; a*t *« laataa (ftM tafttabfta* I *#* a aaa **»»■* ift rwaiftaamaa ** >»ft» f taaaa bMaib I #bb an(ftft baftbi lb* ; . ■ i)_j *.

As I turned Into the narrow, dimly lighted hallway of the tenement I heard a muffled sob In the corner. A woman was crouching there in appar ent deep distress. When I asked what was the matter, she shook her head de spairingly and replied, "Do not derange yourself, sare. you cannot help me." It was the Frenchwoman. I urged her to tell me her trouble. After several refusals she said her hus band had beaten her brutally. "Why do you not leave him If he beats you!" i asked. ■ Ah, he would follow me and drag me back." she moaned. "Have him arrested then.” "Ya-as, have heem arrested. He get j two month. Free month may be, then he come out and keel me!" "I am sorry for you, my poor wom an.” I said, and f was. “He cos a. miserable—-a scelerntr" she j exclaimed fiercely, her face aflame with passionate hatred.

Notwithstanding the many Dewey jSt or lest that have been resuscitated since the battle of Manila Hay, tberw | remain some good one* that up to dat* i obtained no circulation outside of tha small circle of hi* (toyhood friends " ho ! remuln In the vb lnlty of Montpelier, j \'t. These friend* Insist that Dewey ! was about the nrrvlest boy ever raised in that sect lon of the country aud aa partial proof of their contention offer the glory of Dog river. In pleasant weather Dog river pleas antly wends It* way down the valley near Montpelier, Indicating In no waj I the reason why It I* dignified by being j termed a river Instead of a brook. At such time* the river I* from 30 lo 40 feet wide and from two lo four feet In depth, but In time of freshet It over flow* It* hanks und become# a minia ture Niagara, dangerous alike to the man or beast who attempts to ford It, On Otic of these occasions young Dew cy. then a chap of les* than a doieß years, had occasion to cross It. His ex perience Is best told by those who wero with him. Dewey, say they, was sent to bring the cows home. lie wauted company, so he took along his sister and some of hi* chums In a team. They had a drive of a mile and a half, anil when they reached the river It was way over It* banks. Not long before a sturdy man wu* drowned at the ford, and the ma jority of the party wanted to turn back. The minority consisted of the future hero of Manllu. Ho pleaded with the others to make the trip, but they would not do It, warning him of the great risk he was taking. "It's an awful risk!” they cried In chorus. "You'd better come home.” "D_n the risk!" replied the boy. “I was sent after the cows, and I’m going to get them!" He had considerable difficulty in crossing the river, und on hi* return he found the conditions still worse. The river hud risen considerably. The horse was swept off his feet, and It looked for awhile us though he would lose his turnout and the cows. If not his life, but he navigated Ills team tike a born sailor and finally landed In safety quite a distance down the river. The other hoy* considered that he had accomplished quite a feat, but he didn't. •Tl'm, that's nothing!" was his an swer. "I only did what the old man told me to.” Kleetrle Hallways In Europe.
