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.’’ VDMINISTRATOR’S SALE.—By virtue of an order from the Honorable the Ordinary of Twiggs coun ty, will be sold before the Court House door, in the town of Marion, in said county, on the first Tuesday in No vember next within the legal hours of sale, one hundred acres of Land, it being the south-west part of lot No. 39.
