SHAKEN IDOWN.
In one of our western'cities a forgery to
a large amount had been effected, and the
perpetrator had escaped with the spoils.
The place of his concealment was not cer
tainly known, but he was supposed to be se
creted in New York city.
In the city ■where the crime had been
committed I held a situation as lieutenant
of police, and in obedience to orders I pro
ceeded to New York in search of the forger.
It was my first evening in town, and as I
was sitting within the friendly walls of the
St. Nicholas, wrapped in a cloud of tobacco
smoke and a fine specimen of the latest
style of false whiskers and mustache, I swh
enter a very dear friend, from whom two
years before I had parted in California.
As he passed he glanced at me, but did
not recognize me. 1 was glad of it, fo r it
assured me that my false whiskers would be
a valuable aid to me as a .disgiuse in the
search which on the next day I intended to
commence.
My friend lighted a cigar, and seated
himself some distance from me. As I
could’nt allow the opportunity of speaking
to him pass by, I went to wards him and
said:
“Good evening, Mr. Markham.’’
“Good evening sirhe replied, at the
same time looking at me as if endeavoring
to recall my countenance.
“When did you return from Eldorado ?”
I asked of him.
“A week ago, but really you have the ad
vantage over me, inasmuch as you are ac
quainted w ith my name, w hile I do not re
cognize you.’’
“Is that the case ?’’
“It is, sir.’’
“Don’t you remember me ?”
“No, sir, I do not,” he replied.
“Can I speak with you one moment in
private ?*’ I asked.
“Certainly,’’ w’as the answer, and aris
ing he accompanied me to my room. When
the door was closed, I said :
“Do you not recollect me ?’’
“I cannot,” was the reply.
Taking of my whiskers and mustache,
and speaking in a natural tone, for I had
before used a disguised voice, I asked :
“Does that refresh your memory ?”
“Harry Evans, by all that’s powerful,’’
he exclaimed, as he grasped my hand and
shook it until I feared that when he should
rehase it my fingers would drop off.
“But what is the meaning of all this ;
w here did you come from, and what are
you up to that you must disguise yourself
so that your friends don’t know you?”
On promise of secrecy, and in a few words
I told him what business I had before me.
When 1 ended he cried out :
“By Jove, Harry, of all the men in the
city you are the one 1 am most delighted to
see; for there is a little matter which is pre
cisely in your line that I want attended to.”
I assured him that nothing would afford
me more pleasure than to serve him in any
wav which might be in my power.
Having ordered some champiagne and
fresh cigars, he told me of the work which
he had for me to do, find I will repeat the
story as nearly as possible in his own words:
“It is just a week since I arrived here
with good health and plenty of money—a
combination of circumstances which I con
sider particularly fortunate—and last night
the trouble happened which I want you to
set right.
“During the evening, having nothing
better to do, I trotlled into Burton’s [to wit
ness him in one of his inmitable performan
ces. Next to me was seated a lady who
was neatly but rather showly dressed and
wlk> appeared to be unaccompanied by any
one.
“Moreover, she was exceedingly hand*
some, and having by some chance entered
into conversation with her, I found her also
very interesting. What started our acquain
tance I cannot remember, although I think
it arose from some remark which she made
to me—but at any rate she was quite agree
able.
“When the performance was about half
through she suddenly complained of feeling
taint, and asked me if I would accompany
her where she could get some fresh air. I
<1 id so and it appeared to revive her, but af
ter a few minutets she appeared to grow
worse, and speaking to a small boy who
was standing near, she asked him to call a
carriage. Ip to the present time I had felt
a slight suspicion that all was not as it
should be. It had been but the shadow of
an idea, which her last request dissipated,
and therefore I assisted her into the carriage.
But no sooner was she in than she fell al
most upon the floor.
“Os course 1 jumped in to help her upon
her seat. Hardly was lin when the door
was closed, the driver springing to his box
and off we went. 1 was just about ordering
him to stop, as I had no intention of riding
with him, when the lady, who appeared to
divine my thoughts, grasped me by the arm
and exclaimed ,
“My dear sir, do not leave me, 1 beg of
you ; I am very unwell, and if you will
but ride with me as far as my home you will
oblige me very much ; it is not far, and
you can insta >tly return to the theatre.’
“What could I do? 1 was in for it, and
determined to take it quietly—besides,
thought I, it may turn out to be a romantic
adventure, and you will soon see that it did,
and that the romance rather exceeded the
pleasantness or the thing. So I remained
seated by her side, supporting her as she
slowly revived.
“Although she had said that the distance
was but short, and notwithstanding 1 was
rather enjoying myself, yet it seemed to me
that we were never to stop , although the
horses had been going for a long time at
the top of their speed. In fact. I had several
times thought that they must be running
away with us.
“But at last after riding for almost half an
hour at a break-neck pace, we halted. By
this time she was again so unwell that I was
absolutely obliged to lift her out of the car
riage and carry her up the steps.
“Here she besought me to come in, that
she might thank me for my kindness, assu
ring me that she should never tor get it.
Accordingly 1 ordered the driver to wait and
in I went. We passed through a hall in
which the gas burned dimly, and into a
parlor likewise but little lighted, but as well
as I could see quite nicely furnished.
“The moment we entered the room she
appeared to revive, and closing the door,
and taking off her bonnet and cloak, she re
quested me to be seated ; I did so upon a
lounge near at hand, and presently she
came and seated herself at my side.
“She thanked me over and over again,
and requested my card, which I gave her.
She appeared to be completely recovered
from her late’illness, which the said she was
quite subject to, and I have since come
very much to the same conclusion. She
had expected to meet her husband at the
theatre, and did not know why he had not
been there. He was a lawyer, and per
liaps his business had detained him. Thus
passed a quarter of an
“At the end of that time I heard steps
coming along Jhehall ; they stoped at the
parlor door, and the knob was turned, but
the door would not yield. Then a heavy
' voice exclaimed, ‘Open the door.’ This
was followed by a strong kick.
“At the same time the lady cried out,
‘My God; it is my husband —the door is
locked ; he is terribly jealous—he will kill
you;” and fell fainting into my arms.
“What a position for a modest man I Be
fore I could think twice open burst the door
with a tremendous crash, and a man fran
tic with rage rushed into the room. For a
moment he looked at us without speaking ;
then, ith a loud oath, sprang to the table,
opefteua drawer, and seizing a pair of pis
tols, pointed them at my head, crying out
as he did so, ‘Villian! have I found you ?
You shall die!’
“The wife sprang from my arms, and seized
the barrel of a pistol with each hand. Would
you commit murder ? he is innocent,’ she
cried out, but he swore with an awful oath
that if I moved he would kill me. Had I
only had my revolver with me—and I gen
erally carry it—he would perhaps have
come best ; but I had that day
sent it to lie repaired, and therefore, luckily
forwas unarmed.
' “At h.-ngth bis Jerocity melted beneath
the tears and protestations of his wife, and
the matter was finally adjusted by my leav
ing my watcb ;i and all my money —which
was about three hundred dollars—as a pledge
that I would call the next day and settle the
affair, he at the same time giving me his
note for the amount, and threatening to blow’
my brains out if I retired without so doing.
After it was done he walked down to the
carriage with me, for it was still waiting,
and got in after me, still keeping his pistols*
in his hands.
“When we had ridden some ten minutes
the carriage stopped, and I was ordered to
I get out. I did so, as he possessed a most
potent ‘persuader,’ and the hack drove off'
and left me in an unknown part of the city.
Os course I have been unable to find the
house, and so my money is lost, without
you can help me find it; but 1 will give
them credit of having played the game most
excellent.’’
When my friend had finished I burst into
a loud laugh. 1 could not help it, the whole
affair was so rich and amusing, but I prom
ised to assist him as far as I was able.
“Have you mentioned the affair to any
one ?” I asked him.
“No, you are the first. I thought thatit
would be useless, as 1 had no satisfactory
proof of the transaction, for of course the
note is worthless, even if 1 could find the
house, which is perfectly impossible, as I
have not the faintest idea of its locality.”
“Should you know the woman if you
should see her again ?’’
“Yes, among a thousand.”
“And the man, could you reoognize
him ?”
“I think I could.”
I asked him to give a description of him
and he did so.
I could have hugged him in my joy, for
here was the very man I was in search of,
and I could, by finding him,.kill two birds
with one stone, and instead of being to my
friend a losing business, it would pay well,
asa reward of one thousand dollars had been
offered me by the person whose name had
been forged if I should arrest the crimnal,
and I promised Markham one-half of it in
case I was successful, for having put me on
the right track.
The next day I commenced, but for two
days nothing ofconsequence was done. On
the second evening, however, the prospect
brightened. Markham and myself leisure
ly promenading Broadway, and talking of
nothing in particular, when grasping me by
the arm, he suddenly exclaimed :
“Do you see it ?”
“Yes,’’ said I , mechanically, but with
out having the faintest idea what he meant.
“That’s the one,” he continued, “I could
tell it anywhere.’’
“ What is the one ?’’ I asked.
“ That pink bonnet ahead,” he replied
“ and tis, the same cloak too.’’
In truth about twenty feet before us was a
lady wearing a pink bonnet, and walking
along unaccompanied by a gentelman. I
instantly knew to what he referred and my
pleasure was as great as his.
‘‘ But are you perfectly certain that it is
the one ?’’
“ That I am, but sec, she has stopped at
that window, and we shall have a look at
her face ; yes, I knew I was right,’ he con
tinued, as the lady in question looking at a
store window gave us a good view of her
countenance.
I instantly requested Markham to leave
me lest she should chance to see him and re
cognize him, which would completely spoil
the plan of operations, the principal points of
which 1 had already marked out for myself.
I promised that if he would do so I would
run the game to cover’ and he should be in
atthe death. Accordingly he turned upon
his steps and in a few minutes was out of
sight.
As soon as he was gone I walked for
ward briskly till 1 had reached the pink
bonnet. I continued behind her long enough
to impress myself with the appearance of
her attire, and thi n passing her, I walked
swiftly on until 1 was about three or four
rods ahead of her, when I stopped in the
doorway of a store, and appeared to be in
tently examining the articles through the
side window. As she came toward me I
obtained a fine view of heQface, which
was very handsome, and when she had pass
ed, 1 dropped behind and followed her at a
reasonable distance, until she stopped at a
confectioner’s. Observing opposite an apo
thecary’s a sudden thought came to me, fol
lowing which, I hurried over and purchas
. ed a bottle of strong “ Spirits of Amonia,”
resolving that if while in my presence she
should meet with a failing turn, she should
meet with a most powerful and perhaps not
very- agreeable revival.
[ After leaving the confectioner’s she kept
on until she reached Ordway’s, which she
. entered, 1 following. Just within the out
er door I designedly placed my foot upon
the skirt of her dress. Kip went the stitch
es, and my first stroke was struck. I apolo
. gized tremendously, and assisted her in its
restoration. When it was done she enquir
| ed if I would do her a little favor.
, “ A thousand if you wish me, I answer-
i ed.
“ Would you be so very kind as to pur
chase for me my ticket ?” at the samo time
putting her hand in her pocket.
Suddenly, however, she withdrew it with
. the exclamation !
L “ Heavens ! I Lave lost my port-mon
. naie ; what shall Ido ?’’
“ I am truly sorry for your loss,” said
, I, “ but that shall not prevent you from at
tending the performance,’’ and hastening to
the office I purchased two tickets, and re
turning to her placed one in her hand.
She was very sorry to put me io so much
trouble —was a thousand times obliged, and
i hoped 1 would not consider it unlady-like
' in her to receive a ticket from me, a stran
ger : but she had so set her mind upon the
performance that really she could not stay
away. All these thanks and protestations
ended in my accompanying her into the
hall and seating myself at her side. She
was so pretty, so fascinating, and played
her part so well, that I did not wonder that
Markham had been taken in, and I verily
believe that had I not been forewarned I
should have shared the same fate.
As it was, however, I was prepared for
whatever might turn up, and appeared as
unsuspecting as possible. All went off ac
cording to my expectation. The ill turn
and carriage were strictly en regie.
When 1 had placed her in it, 1 begged
her to excuse me a moment while I return
ed for my glove, which I pretended to have
dropped. Beckoning to me a boy of some
dozen years who looked as if he might be
trusted, I asked him :
“ Would you like to earn five dollars ?”
“ Certainly,’’ was the reply,
I said to him.
At the door is a hack which I shall get
into. As soon as Ido so, jump on behind,
and ride till I get out. Notice the number
of the house which I shall enter, and then
run for a couple of policemen ; tell them in
fifteen minutes to enter it, pass through the
hall into the second door upon the right
hand side. Don’t let the driver know that
you are on. Call to-morow at ten at the
St. Nicholas, and I will pay you. Do you
understand ?”
“ Repeat what I have told you.’’
He did it correctly. I entered the car
nage and went through precisely the same
course that Markham had done.
All in good time came a knock at the
door and my lady endeavored to faint, but
did not quite succeed, for laying her back
upon the sofa, I poured about a half-spoon
ful of the ammonia into her nose. 1 knew
. that it was cruel, but I could not resist the
temptation to pay her off a little.
Quicker than lightning she sprang to her
feel, gasping and almost strangling, while
at the same instant open flew the door and
the enraged husband entered.
The pistols were duly drawn forth and
pointed at me, while the wife, instead of im
ploring my life, was busily engaged in en
deavoring to get breath, for the ammonia
had nearly killed her. 1 saw that my game
was safe, that the forger stood before me,
and when his first burst of well counterfeit
ed passion was at its height, pulling off' my
whiskers and drawing out my revolver, I
coolly informed him that he was my prison
er.
The moment he recognized me “ a change
came over the spirit of his dream.’’ He
dropped his pistols and sank speechless into
a chair. In a few minutes the policeman
entered, and 1 explained the case.
The prisoners were taken care of, and
afterward paid the penalty of their crimes.
Markham recovered his watch and a por
tion of his money, but would not accept the
five hundred which I had promised him,
and we have often since then congratulated
each other that there was so favorable a ter
mination to our “ shaking down.’’
