A YOUNG GIRL DETECTIVE
EMPLOYED AS THI2P CATCHER IN
A BIG DRY GOODS STORE.
She is Expert, and Has Plenty to Do.
She Stem* to Know a Thief by In
stinct—Her Methods-Some of Her
Casts.
From the Xew York Snn.
All the great detectives, from Vidoeq to
Inspector Byrnes, 'have asserted that the
ability to detect crime is inborn and cannot
be acquired. The proprietor* of a big
Sixth avenue dry goods store point to one
of their employes as a living proof of the
correctness of this assertion. Tec years ago
a little cash girl came to this 6tore.
She was cot unlike the run of girls
employed in the same capacity, except
that 'she seemed to be unusually dull and
sleepy, she was only about 9 years old. very
slight and delicate, and became distin
guished among her' rollicking companions
for her extremely ijuiet ways. Her name
was Mamie Rock. At first the clerks and
floor walkers thought her too slow, and her
companion* spoke d.<riilingly of her.
Bhewore well, however. Her compan
ions developed a liking for her after a time,
when the} saw that her apathy was nat
ural and not assumed. Her employers
found that If sue was slow she was alosure
and industrious. Her promotion through
the regular grades to a clerkship was ac
quired by slow degrees. She became a
clerk in tne cbinu department.
A sad experience in her life first brought
her into notice before the members of ihe
firm. One day she didn’t appear at the
usual hour, an 1 a note sent by her to the
bead of the department said tlrnt her
mother bad died and that she was unable to
come |down that day. The floor walker
went to her home to see if be could bo of
any assistance. He fouud her in a pitiable
plight. The body of her dead mother lay
upon an ordinary pine board supported by
twochaiis. The rooms were barely fur
nished, and bespoke abject poverty. The
poor girl and her sister sat weeping beside
the body without a soul to console them.
The visitor found that the girls had em
ployed a heartless undertaker, who, after
taking Siii from them—all the money that
they could gather—hail demanded that they
tay him $125 more. He had taken a chat
tel mortgage on all they possesses! for that
amount. Even with all this extortion he
had allowed the body to lie in the shameful
condition described the whole day. The
floor walker return© l to the store, and iu
formed the members of tho firm of what
had happened. The latter promptly sub
scribed toe amount necessary to conduct
the fuueral properly, and. in addition, fur
nished thy girls with such thiugs as were
necessary.
Mamie came hack to work after the
funeral, and her whole energies seemed to
be bent on demonstrati' g her gratitude to
her employers. About tuis time Mamie’s
detective talent revealed itself. The first
occasion caused a great deal of surprise. A
customer was writing at the desk provided
by the firm, and another woman stood im
mediately behind he!-. It happened that
at this time the floor walker came along
and ho was much surprised at Mamie’s atti
tude. She stood leaning over a counter
with "Her eyes cast down and aa expression
of vacuity upon her face. The floor
walker was surprised for he thought that
liis model clerk had lullou asleep la the
middle of a busy day. At first he thought
he might Do ill, but her color belied this.
He was about to go and touch her on the
shoulder, when she turned aud said in the
quietest manner possible:
“That woman going out of tho store has
stolen a pocketbook.”
The floor walker looked up In amazement.
Mamie i dicaled the woman who had been
standing behind t!ie one at the writing desk.
The floor walker had noticed them, and so
had a number of other clerks, but none of
them had seen anything to warrant Mamie’s
accusation.
“Are you sure?” asked the floor walker
sotne what excited.
“Yes,’' answered Mamie quietly.
The floor walker at once followed the ac
cused woman, and demanded that she re
turn. Tne woman was indignant, but she
did as she was told.
“You t 'ok this woman’s pocketbook,”
Mamie said to her, looking her straight in
the eye.
“It's a lie,” said the woman, but the words
had hardly escaped her mouth when a
pocketbook was found at her feet. Sho had
Jet it slip to the floor, but it did not escape
Mamie’s eye. Perhaps tho most surprised
womau was the one to whom the pocket
book belonged.
After that Mamie indicated her ability on
various occasions. Her manner of working
was always the same, but it never failed.
The shoplifter was never afraid of this
sleepy-iooking girl, whose face was so ex
pressionless, who seemed to be constantly
wrapped in dreams and reveries, b it Mamie
was a constant surprise to her superiors aud
her fellow clerks. Try as they would, they
could never see as much as Mamie did. At
times, when they were on the ulert, Mamie
would quietly pick out the very pers ms
whom they were watching and prove them
to be thieves.
Six months ago the firm decided that
Mamie’s natural talents must be utilized to
their utmost. She was, therefore, appointed
assistant to the regular detective. Sue had
developed iuto a sieudur young woman of
medium hight, with big grayish blue eyes
and brown red hair, anil a face capable of
a suming a good many different expressions.
When not at work Mamie’s face is intelli
gent and full of animation. The moment
she incomes the detective all expression
vanishes, leaving u pale, Inanimate face.
Her face is not pretty at any time, but
when the assumed dullness of expression
disappears, it is pleasing and attrac ive.
Every morning the young detective is at
work in her old capacity of clerk in tho
china department. She Is really watching
the bargain counter, where women love to
Huger, and where thieves find their best op
portunities. Afternoons she dons her hat
and jacket and goes with the throng of
shoppers all over the store. Nobodv would
think of noticing this siigot, pale-faced girl
in tho big crowd of women, many of w.iom
are more striking in appearance, but she is
kept very busy.
The afternoon that the Sun reporter came
to the store she was in the jewelry depart
ment. She was Watching a tig c lurse-look
ing woman who lingered at the bracelet
counter without apparent reason. Mamie
stood at least' a dozen feet away, and be
hind her. She was the picture of a girl
waiting for somebody, and decidedly im
patio it at the delay. A stylishly dressed
womau, with diamond earrings, and each
wrist leaded with bracelets, stepped up be
side the woman Mamie was watching. Then
followed a curious change in Mamie’s face.
Apparently she was looking in another direc
tion, but the saw ail that was occurring
at the bracelet counter, nevertheless. She
saw the stylish, locking womau attempt to
insert hor hand in the shopping bag of the
other. She saw tho latter catch the thiev
ing hand between her elbow and body, a id
give it a slight pinch. The baud was quickly
withdrawn, and the two women turnei and
winked significantly at each other. It was
a case of one thief trying to rob another.
Apparently the second arrival was sus
picious, for she cast a warning glance at the
other, and then started out of the store.
The other thief followed her. Mamie
heaved a sig i of relief as they disappeared.
She knew that neither if them had been
able to a-comulish auy mischief, for she had
followed the first from ihe moment she had
entered the store, and the second had just
eome in and gone out again.
At this m Jineut a cash girl, passing by
Mamie, deftly slipped a uote into her baud.
It was from the superintendent of the lunch
department, and requestor her attention to
a woman there, whom the note described.
Mamie went up stairs, and, glancing calmly
around tho big room fillod with lunebers,
spied the woman w hom she had been asked
to watch, She recognized her at once as an
old offender. She was not even a high
grade thief, but was shabbily dressed, and
h- k-d as though her profession had not
paid her very well of late. Mamie waike 1
over to the table at which she v.as sitting
and smk into a seat opposite her. The
women sitting at the otuer tables around
certainly thought that here were two
friends who had met. What Mamie said as
she dropped into the chair was this:
‘•You nad better go out right away. We
know you and we don’t want to have any
fust with you. This it the second time
you have been here within a week; the
next time I will have to lock you up.’’
Ti e woman said nothing, but simply
eyed Mamie sullenly. When she got up
and was about to go, Mamie recalled her.
“Don't forget to pay your check just the
same," she said.
The women sitting around did not under
stand why the woman who was jnscleaving
! should look so bit.e iy at the smiling young
I girl at the table. Mamie waited about a
minute after the woman had paid her check,
! and then followed her down stairs and saw
; that she left the store. She was about to
i return to the jewelry counter when another
note was handed her. It referred to a
I woman on tne main floor.
Mamie watched her. She was well
dressed, and. although her face bore slight
traces of dissipation, there was nothing
about her to make her specially prominent
in a big crowd. Hut Mamie’s sharp eyes
detected an unusual bulge in trie vicinity ot
her dress pi cket. She waited until she was
certain. She saw the woman slip an article
from one of the counters into her pocket
while the clerk’s attention was engaged.
Then Mamie walked up to her, and, linking
arms with her, said quietly:
“Now, don't make a fuss, or it will be the
worse. We are going up stain together.”
The woman, who seemed to beau old
band, expressed no special emotion or sur
prise, but slightly elevated her shoulders
and accompanied Mamie to the elevator.
They rode up st-airs to the third floor, where
Mamie led her prisoner to a room set apart
for that purpose.
".No*,'’ said Mamie, as she closed the
door behind her, “if you will tike those
things out of your pockets we may be able
to come to some understanding.’’
The woman very unwillingly emptied her
dress pocket before tho little detective. The
booty was quite large, consisting of two
odd pieces of silk, half a dozen handker
chiefs, a pair of gloves, two gentleman’s
scarfs, two eye-glasses, a bottle of per
fumery and a leather-bound volume of
poems. But this was not ail. Mamie con
cluded to make a search on her own ac
count, after the shoplifter had declared that
she had shown all she had taken. From
silver a 1 concealed pockets she produced
three pocketbooks, some more handker
chiefs, some fancy hat-pins and some
black stockings. The pocketbooks had
evidently been taken from shoppers.
One of the n contained over SSO. The others
contained between them sl2.
“I have got a good initul to lock you up,”
said Mamie, “for lying to me. What la the
use of your doing that! You ought to know
I would search you anyhow. Now, if I
catoh you again, I will take you down to
court surely.”
The woman was too hardened to be fright
ened, however, and simply smiled iu Mamie’s
face. The lattcisgatbered up the booty, and.
Biter escorting the thief out of the store,
took it to the superintendent’s desk, where
she explaiued the way in which it had boon
recovered. The pocket book containing the
SSO bad already been applied for by the
ownpr, whose address had been taken. The
othor two had apparently been secured in
some other store, as no application had
been made for them. They were put
aside. The other articles were returned to
the oounters from which they had been
tukeu.
Mainlo now had au opportu ity to go
back to tho jewelry counter. Business was
brisk there, but no thieves were in sight.
The afternoon wore away, and it was get
ting around toward the time fir closing
the store when her patient watching was
rewarded. A country woman was leaning
over the counter examining some hairpins,
witli her shopping saehal dangling from
lier arm. Marino saw one of tne women In
tho crowd behiud her deftly open the sachel
and thrust her hand inside. Mamie quickly
pressed in through the crowd, and stood
directly behind the thief. She could look
into the sachel and could soe the thievish
hand wandering about in search of booty.
There was no pocketbook there, but a
number of bills and change had been thrust
into it loosely. The thief’s baud wa3 en
gaged in picking tiie-e up. Just as tbe
hand was about to withdraw, Mamie’s right
closed firmly around its wrist. Immedi
ately the band opeued, and the bills and
change dropped out of it back into tbe
sachel. Mamie quickly pulled the haud
down out of sight, but still retained firm
hold of it. Iu owner, her face fiery red,
turned and looked at Mamie. The ’ latter
paid no attention to her f r toe time being,
but touched the owner of the saohel on the
shoulder. As the latter tun ei around in
surprise Mamie pointed significantly at the
open sachel aud said:
“That is a very dangerous and careless
way to carry your sachel, ma’am.”
The woman uttered on exclamation of
surprise and quickly clus.-d her sachel,
which she transferred to her hand. She
was not overpleased with Mamie's remark,
aud loi ked at her both indignantly and with
suspicion. Mamie didn’t mind that, how
ever, but, still holdi gon to the wrist of the
trief, she withdrew from the crowd, taking
her along. The latter was evidently a
novice, for she was in tears. Mamie took
her upstairs, and, after searching her and
taking away several trifles which she had
secured from tbe counters, gave her a talk
ing t<'. It was rather odd to hear this young
girl lecturing a woman many years her
senior, but tho lat'er took her remarks
without any attempt to refute them, and
promised to stop her criminal practices
hereafter.
“All right,” said Mamie, as she saw the
woman cut of tie store. “Nobody will
be more pleased to sea you reform than I
will, but remember this'is your last chance
here. If you are caught again you will go
to jail, sure.”
..lamia's work did not end until all the
clerks bad left the sto:o. It was one part
of her duty to see that no suspicious Derson
had lingered beyond the regular closing
hour, and that no suspicious bundle! were
carried out of the store.
Every day Mamie goes through similar
experiences. has learned to recognize
the old offenders and seems to have a
natural talent for discovering new ones.
She does not always let“tiie offenders go,
either, although it is against the policy of
the firm to make arrests wheu these can be
avoided.
Several weeks ago she followed two
women out of the store cud down Sixth
avenue. She had been suspicious of them
for some time, but had been unable, owing
to the big crowds in the store, to got near
enough to them at any time to make sure
that they were thieves. She raw
them go into a hallway and di
vide their booty, and when they
came out she arrested them and took
them to Jefferson Market Police Court. A
thorough search revealed a penknife, two
bunches of ostrich tips, a bat pin, sortie
handkerchiefs, aud odd hits of dross goods,
worth altogether $24. Tuo women did not
deny their guilt, ami were held in bonds for
trial. It is said by some of the other em
ployes in the same store that Mamie takes
great pleasure in her work, and is remarka
ble for the zeal that she displays in follow
ing up every suspicious iierson. She hss
made a number of seizures in the short time
eho ha. ! oen ad ' ctive. Her superiors sav
I Unit her uovotioa to the firm is one of her
most remarkable traits.

GAY CARRIE CASHLESS.
On the Goings-on in New York's Steeli
est Society.
New York, Nov. 29. —All the girls went
|to the horse show in New York. It was
really the place of places to go and take,
your best boy in bis best dress suit. The
; immense Madison Square Garden for two
or throe stories up wa* lined with boxe3,
where sat some of the swel.est, niftiest,
most exclusive people in ali this world.
Seward Webb and family were always to
be seen iu ono .of the front rows watching
the champions as breathlessly as if the
money they lial at s:ake upon them would,
if lost, drive the family to starvation or
Europe or some dreadful place.
It was amusing to sea Elliot Shepard keep
an eye upon his watch on the last evening of
the show. R'lssbarry was to jump to beat
the record. But by some delay, such as
alivayn happens in one w ay and another, toe
champion was not brougnt forth until much
later than advertised. And when be did
walk out into the riog, blinking through
the peep holes in his blanket, the Water
burys ware all pointing to 11 o’clock. Thai,
between Roseberry and Ontario, began on*
of the most exciting contests that was ever
recorded, and at 12 midnight the fuu was
still at its bight.
Col. Shepard had been an enraptured
spectator from the beginning, and It was
plain to see that death would be about as
welcome as for him to be torn from tho
scene. For a second or two the brave
colonel battled between his love of sport
and L is conscience, but conscience came out
ahead, and he hurried away just as tho
bells wont tolling for 12, to console his mind
and enliven his spirits by looking up texts
to head the editorial columns of his paper
next week.
One of tho big New York papers lias of
fered a prize of SIOO to the woman who
shall send in the most praiseworthy de
scription of a model husband. It is interest
ing to note the replies. Ono woman think* he
is a husband who never takes a night “off,”
another says her ideal man is ona that gives
h r full control of the purse strings, a third
says she likos a husband tnat goes his way
aud gives her full permission to go hers, but
most unique of all is the letter from a dear,
sweet, clinging vine who says that her oak
must be noble! O, so noble! And give u
test of his true inward nobility by invent
ing anew pet name for her every day.
Upon a sweet —pretty calendar, bought for
the purpose, she is recording tiia names as
horeelsi.tr new ones each living room.
The regulation, orthodox, old pot titles of
“Dear little girl," “Dally,” “Petsey,”
“Tootsey-VVeotsey,” “Sweetness” and
“Sugar Plum” "have been thrown com
pletely in the shade by the coinings of this
model husband.
Won’t somebody piease look up more
such men and offer prizes for their capture?

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher grows more
beautiful as advancing years and grow

She sits in a beautiful hay window sur

of the days when she and *‘Henry” were
struggling along in a little western village,
trying to keep the pot boiling and tho ser
mons written. But those were long-ago
daysl Now, though iu comparative pov
erty, Mrs. Beecher has enough business
engagements to keep her from actual want,
and if she could fulfill one-half the orders
that come to her she would be a rich woman.
Every publishing firm in tho country has
asked her to write the life of her dead hus
band, but, owing to her poor health, she
has refused them all.

Who shall say what is the Golden Age o?
a woman’s life? Is it sweet 16, gay 30, mel
low 35, or easy-going, calculating oil? The
girl who has learned to take things easy by
lying in bed mornings, sipping coffee leis
urely, and, on the sly, puffing away at a
cigarette, has reached the Golden Age of
her existence, however old she maybe in
real years. “A man is os old as he feels.
And a woman is as old as she looks,” is a
maxim that no one disputes. So, Burelv, if
a woman is sensible enough to appear at
ease and idle away the morning hours en
joying herself at doing nothing, she may be
said to havo reached that most char t ing
period of any one’s existence—the Golden
Age,
Miss Grace Dodge, ex-school commissioner
and working girl’s friend, dresses always iu
brown in the streat. In winter, her attire
is a brown taiior-nmdegowu, short sealskin
wrap and little brown bonnet with Quaker
strings. Her fresh, young face, that cannot
bear more than the “SO line mark,” seems
in striking and pretty contrast to the
demureness of the rig. Miss 1) dge keeps a
private secretary to transact her literary
business, such as writing letters, keeping
records and reulvingto numerous invitations
to write for leading periodicals.
If pretty women would remain protty
they must not permit tbeir tempers to be
come ruffled. A rage leaves creases and
wrinkles, and we all know these give an
impress of age. A long furrow for every

Never put the hands in juxtaposition to the
face, for one or other suffers iu comparison.
Ox chain bracelets are the newest things

ox chains, being strong enough to hold one
of these animals in abeyance. They can bo
made in gold, if one so desire, but the most
approved ones are of silver. Avery elegant
aifair of this kind came from Lyons, where
the cunning smiths fashioned it of four
shades of iron, grading from iron of a
bright, burnished hue to deeply, darkly,
beautifully black. Gold won’t hold fair

chains. All which goes to show that women
are to be held iu still deeper bondage than

A STWI/
Avery small boy
In a very big vest
May be looked at as something
Kesombling a jest.
And a very small boy
It must be confessed.
Make a very big joke
In his big father’s vest.
He doesn’t look bad
In the vest of his dad.
And he’s splendidly’ dressed
Iu his father’s fine vast.
The cream of this entertaining li tie joke
is that, the father was judicious enough to
bay his ve;t from "The Famous.” The
vest wouldn't have had Swilf go flae a point
if he had purchased it way where else.

S. S. S. W.’LL CURE.
My daughter had a case of chronic
R’ezema, which for over five years had
luaffed the skill of the best physicians.
As she was daily growing worse,
I hunt all other treatment and com
menced using S. S. S. Before finish
ing the second bottle the scaly incrus-
tations had marly disappeared. I continued using g. s
S. until she was entirely cured. I waited before reporting
the case toaee if the cure was permanent. Being satisfied
that-.she is freed from the annoying disease for all time to
comeg I send you this. e
