April -“My 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 Happy to be rid of the journey, 1 n.'or.ts. by a telegram from one of my own you. --- KKKI'H.

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!

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.

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 proprietor of the school was innocent, and ho declared that Emil had Irccii his most docile, his most intelligent pupil.’ M.
