Hiss Kate King
Ar n rule, ilctcctives tio not core
to relate incidents in which they
have ligured unsuccessfully, hut
the following story illustrates the
cleverness witli which they often
have to deal.
I was in Puris enjoying a few
weeks vacation. Among the ac
quaintances which I picked up
tlioie was a certain Francois Dal-
, j ton, a lawyer.
To say how I became acquainted
would he rather puzzling. The
prollerud cigar, nil exchange ol
uewspupers, or a passing recogni
tion, had ripened under his friend
ly gaiety into familiarity.
1 had passed more tlmu one even
ing in his snug olliee in Kile do
Ligrc, where lie received his clients,
He remarked one evening with
his irresistible smile:
"All, monsieur, how would you
like a scamper across the conli
uent?"
‘•Well enough,’’ I said, "blit my
iuuds—”
‘ Do not spenk ol money. I can
offer you a splendid chance to com
bine business and pleasure."
“Indeed! .May I ask where uml
how?”
“Twenty miles beyond llmln-
on the Danube—at kisochali, n
bountiful manor.”
“Well ?”
“You will simply take charge of
the only son of a wealthy Imran,
Kmil Yon .Miigar,” milling in his
bright, bland way, “lie is only III-
teen, ami lias been placed in
Paris school; but alas, disease lias
developed itself, and llic lather has
determined to recall him. It is
important that lie should seek the
piiet of his native valley.”
Another questioning brought
out tlie facts that a liberal sum per
week ami expenses were to be paid,
and that it might require some
caution to pass through Austria—
for llungarv, where the baron lived,
was already suspected ol cumplici
ty in plots, and the son bad small
discretion of speech.
It chimed in well with my iucli
nations. I desired grei tly to see
I he home of that proud Magur peo
ple, of whom Kossuth was so liable
an example.
“Really,” thought I, ‘‘this is
lucky. I am to lie paid fordoing
tin: very thing I long for.”
As it was necessary to have a
passport, I, in company with l‘'rnn-
cois Dalton, visited the school
where Emil was at present.
On entering the npiiitmcut, from
tlie lawyer’s description, I at on e
recognized the lad among some
forty or lifty other youths. There
could lie no mistaking his sharp
features, raven hair anil black eyes.
“This is the gcnllomaii, Emil,
who has consented to take you
home,” said the lawyer.
Emil looked into my face with a
questioning gluixc, and then grip
ing iny hand, said with such out
spoken sincerity that I fell drawn
to him at once:
“Kir, I shall have no fear with
“I trust nil to the good Ameri
can.”
After dinner, I stood on the
doorstep of my hotel, and was ac.
costed by a police agent, asking
about my passport.
“I have never been to Austria
before,” I said; “lint in Franco I
have given a gendarme a couple of
francs to take my papers to the
bureau of polico.”
“The same may hero be done,”
the olllccr politely answered.
appeared from my charge. Hasten
here.”
The answer drove me almost mad:
“Baron von Mugw not.known;
no such place as Kisocbati.” ,
Was 1 in a dream? I could not
sleep for thinking of those big
pleading eyes which seemed to fob
low me wherever I turned.
I grew haggard, and mast eventu
ally have fallen into brain fever,
had I not been recalled to Paris

ll was tin* hearty expression of
uu unsophisticated mind. Dalton
then spoke:
“He is an American and will be
kind to you. Remember to obey
him exactly.”
"Then lie hates the Austrians!
He is one of that nation where all
are free; where our grand Kossuth
was treated like a prince! This
good Ameriiuu shall see how noble
people arc treated by tlie despica
ble tyrants.”
“Hush, hush, Emil; you must
not talk like this 1” Then turning
to me lie said: "Thu very children
of that proud race arc lillud with u
sense ol wrong.”
“Not to be wondered nt,” said I,
as I remembered the accounts .Mr.
Dalton had given me.
“When 1 am a limn,” exclaimed
the handsome lad, "I will kill the
Austrians—they are not lit to
1 submitted tile document. He
hurried oil, alter comparing the
description.
After Emil, who was greatly fa
tigued, retired, I started for the
Grand Opera house, and gave my
self up to the splendid music.
I presume I lud been there half
an hour when a tap on tlie shoul
der called my attention.
“Your passport?”
1 explained matters, but to no
purpose. I must go to the police
bureau and account for mysclt.
Going around with him to tlie ho
tel I leaned that tlie paper had
not yet been returned.
“Well,” I thought, “it will he
all right. I can explain matters
to the chief.”
Ynin hope I After exhausting
my eloquence, I was supercilious
ly informed:
“Until this passport is found,
lie must reinniii in prison.”
In vain I pleaded the unpro
tected condition of my charge.
To prison I must go. Once inside
the bars, I felt how ol'.en I had
Ih-cii instrumental in plauing others
there. 1 was as mad us a hornet
—mail enough to bile a nail in
two. I have often since thought
of the proverb, “What is sauce for
tlie goose is sauce for the gander,”
lint it did not occur to mu then.
When morning came I found
my dander rising high.. 1 demand
ed to lie taken before tlm Ameri
can consul.
When we (for tlie police had me
still in tow) reached the embassy,
I began to feel improved III spirits,
as I thought of the American eagle,
the stars anil stripes, and oilier in
spiring thoughts.
1 meant to give our proud I ird
aclmnce to soar ii little, ami strike
off in a second the Austrian chains.
An emaciated, spindly youth,
with eyeglasses, was present, scan
ning the Herald. The exquisite
‘never turned a hair’ at my en
trance. He wont on reading, giv.
ing an occasional yawn. I ventur
ed u delicate little cough, as a sig
nal Hint I was anxious to inter
view one of the tail feathers ol the
American eagle. , -
Not a quiver in the nttitudu of
the dandy.
Iwas not used to such impcrlin-
ance, so I let out a little plain
Yankee talk.
Down went the newspaper; the
gold eyeglasses were directed to
ward inu; a druwliug voice inform
ed mu that the chief of the embas
sy was away.
The old Adam in ine grew ns
big as a circus tent, and 1 yelled
out:
“You are placed here by the
American government to nirord
protection to the American sub
jects ”
“Lord, my good mudf I cawn’t
do unwilling I”
“You were placed here either for
use or ornnment you little whipper-
snapper I but you arc u dog-gasti-il
failure in either capacity!”
The now frightened clerk drawl
ed out uguin.-
"Here, Sum-mucl, show this paw-
sou the door I”
Gut 1 rushed followed by the be
wildered Austrian.
I need not tell of four hours ad
ditional ialior, the result of which
was my release, however. I wus
driven to my hotel. My heart was
in my mouth when 1 lieuid that
Emil was not there.
I visited every hospital and
poiicu station in Yienmt. All in
vain. My heart bled lor the poor
.Not knowing what else to do, I
returned to that magnificent city.
The first person ! met, while step
ping olT the train, was Philander
I’liog, an old acquaintance.
Ho was amazed at my* condition,
for I had grown thin, and anxiety
was doubtless painted on my face.
Philuiuler hurried me to his room,
and lashing me fast to a bottle or
wine, wanted to know what was up.
I gave him the history of my
case.
“What was the dale of your de
parture from Paris?"
"November 17. Wednesday.”
“Just a month ago!” he exclaim
ed.
With a bound ho had taken
down a newspaper (Ho and was
turning over its pages.
Presently, with a guffaw that
shook the rafters, he fell back in
to a chair, shouting between Ills
spells:
"Oh, Lord! oh, Lord! The best
detective in America taken in—
dom fori”
The blood rushed to my face ar
I angrily demanded an explanation;
but it was impossible for him to do
or say more. °
lie rolled over tho floor and held
Ills sides.
I grew mad, as was natural—
even madder than when I was su
perciliously treated by the fop at
the American legation.
I too, turned to the newspaper.
In un instant I saw it all. i had
actually smuggled one of the most
adroit little thieves and confidence
operators out of Paris—right from i
under the noses of the police agents.
I hail immortalized myself by
chaperoning Olara Hichat out of
reach of‘jnstiee. The • police boil
truekcil her, after tlie most tedious
operations, to a certain point.
Emil was the very princess ol
adventuresses—spy, thief, forger
nnd murderess. Her last feat Imd
liecn to rob the Countess ile lila-
zonis of her jewels.
By tlie connivance of Francois
Dalton she had Iwcn admitted into
the school as a Hungarian boy. At
that point thu French detectives
lost her. The cordon of French
uml Flemish agents wore dying to
know how and where she crossed
the frontier, for they had made ev
cry point secure.
The proprietor of the school was
innocent, and ho declared that Emil
had Irccii his most docile, his most
intelligent pupil.’
M. Dalton, it had since been as
certained, was the man of reference,
the “fence” who directed|bcrgamc.
It wus believed that he bad eloped
with the dashing queen of crimi
nals.
No wonder, indeed, that Philan
der ejaculated, “Oh! Lord! oh,
Lord!” nor that I heat a hasty re
treat from Paris.
The story leaves a bail toste In
my mouth to this day, I confess.

paper fractional currency shall be
printed for the use of tbe people,
in denominations of ten,'twenty-

in favor of this scheme is that
there is need of such currency for
