SELECT STORY,
A SHADOW ON THE WALL.
1IY AN E.-l)KTKCTlVi:
I am bv no means a Buncrstitiotts
man, but in tlio conrso of my calling as
detectivo I havo scon many queer
things, and have met witli more re
markable adventures than tho world
would readily credit. Tho particular
ono I am about to relate has nothing of
tho supernatural about it. As a mat
ter of fact, 1 never had tho luck to
look on a ghost, except at tho theatre.
Ghosts, to my mini!, aro iinsallstactory
creatures, whoso only business is to
terrify poor wrctclios with dreadful
warnings 01 coming misery ana mis
fortune; but I do not hesitate to ac
knowledge that I was onco saved by a
shadow.
That seems strange, and the way
which it happened was stranger
till.
It was ninny years auo, when I was
becinninc life, that I was sent to a
country village to disrover a mysterious
robber wno hail broken into 1110
church and stolen somo ten pounds in
money, besido tho silver plate belong
ing to tho rector.
I reached the villaco about sunset.
It was a quiet and pretty place, with a
strip of common on 0110 sido of tho
road; a pond, whuro 60iuo ducks wero
leisurely paddling, and a straw-thatched
inn, in front of which a group of la
borers woro sitting over their pi pes and
beer. Without heeding their curious
looks, I walked on to the church.which
stood a fow yards higher up in tho
middle of a neclectcil church yattl.
Tho solemn hush that brooded over it,
tho fadinc sunlight shining on its win
dows, tho birds singing softly from tho
encircling trees, affected mo strangely.
Tho twilight gathered round rao while
lingered there.
Having decided that tho best thing
could do was to put up at tho inn for
a dav or two so as to pursuo my in
quiries on tho spot, I went back beforo
it closed ami soon succeeded in coming
to terms with the landlord. IIo was a
pleasant, talkativo old fellow, a wid
ower, and his niece had kept houso for
11111 sinco his wito ilicil.
She's gono up to tho rector's, has
Janet. He's preparing her for confir
mation 'gainst tho bishop comes, ' ro-
larked tho landlord, chcerlitllv.
'You've heard of tho robbery, I daro
say?"
'I havo heard very little of it so
far,'' I answered.
"Indeed! returned tho old man, 10-
trcating a step to look at me, and ap.
arentlv satisfied with, tho inspection
"indeed 1 Then von could not havo
como to a better person for particulars,
thoucli I say it as perhaps shouldn t.
Tlio wiseacres round hero never thought
of asking old Brown's opinion, and our
villago (Jonstablo owes me a grudgo
becauso I won't givo him trust. Tho
way of tho world, sir, everywhere."
"Do you really think you Know wno
tho man is?" I interposed. "I-rom
what I havo seen of tho church it
doesn't seem to havobeou entered from
outside."
"Whv. of courso not. Tho thief
got into tho church as ho got out of it
through tho uoor.
Was it possiblo tho landlord hit on
tho truth? His theory, at all ovenls,
seemed probablo enough. In my anx
iety to obtain such lniormation as i
could. I encouraged him to continue
by suggesting that ho could begin
at tho becinnintr and tell mo all ho
knew.
"Ay, to bo suro I will," returned
Mr. Brown readily. "It doesn't seem
much, but if I wero younger I would
mako it enough to lay a certain gentle-
man by tho heels as a lessou to him,
and others liko him, J. would so."
IIo then told mo how, a month bo-
fore tho church was robbed, a stranger
had hired a bedroom heic, stating that
ho had business 111 tho neighborhood
which would probably keen him away
from homo tor a week or two. 110
was an extremely nolito person, this
stranger, but tho landlord noticed after
a tuno that ho was cltcn out an night,
and thou whenever this happened ho
would lio in bed next day till lato in
tho afternoon. However, Mr. Brown
mado no complaint, and things went
on as usual till tho night of tho rob
bcry. On that day tho stranger wcut
off early in tho morning and nover
camo back. For tho rest, tho landlord
described him as a tall, good-looking
man, apparently about -10 years old.
"Is that all?" I asked, feeling both
doubtful and disappointed.
"is it all t no answered.
IIo camo nearer; ho laid his hand
lightly on my shoulder.
"Jielievo rae," 110 sain, "i cannot ox
actly explain what 1 mean, but, as suro
as tiicro is a sun auovo us, mat man is
.1 .
tho robber.
Beforo I could roply tho door oponed
and in camo a fair girl with hor yellow
hair braided around her head, looking,
in tho bloom of her youthful boauty,
liko a rosebud dipped in dow. Sho
glanced round, curtsied to me, and
stolo quietly out again without saying
a word.
Hoinoniboriiig what tho landlord had
told i no, I had no difliculty in guessing
that this was Janet, undei other cir
oumstauces I should have been inter
ostod in questioning him about her, but
in my present condition I wanted to bo
nlonu to ponder over what I had heard,
and decido on my plans for tho mor
row. 1 thcrcforo pleaded fatigue as
an oxcuso for retiring, pledged Mr.
Brown in a glass of his own ale, nnd
was Bhorlly afterwards shown up
stairs.
It was a close, sultry night. I blow
my candle out, and, seating myself in
a chair by tho window, began to think
'what I should do next. The absorbing
purposa that had guided mo thus far
was only intonsillod by the information
mo.tgro as it was that I had already
gleaned. For aught I know mv land
lord might havo a personal motivo for
suspecting his guest into which I had
no right to inquire; motives of this
kind, as my subsequent cxperienco
taught me, being by no means uncom
mon whuro criminals are concerned.
For a whilo I waited and watched
undisturbed. At intervals I distin
guished old Brown's voice, talking
cheerfully to his niece, and presently
10 noiso ot tho window shutter being
moved, sounded gratingly then
ceased. Jjiglit footsteps pattered up
tho stairs, and gradually died away.
Tho silenco that followed was so in-
tenso that I could hear the vory rust-
ng of tho leaves outside as they
stirred in tho breeze.
Too hot and restless to think of ly-
ng down, 1 remained at my post,
moodily doubting whether tho troublo
had taken was likely to bo of much
use to mo in tho end. An hour or
more might havo passed thus, when I
was startled by a sudden, stealthy
sound below.
I got up, and gliding into tho pass
age, looked over tho head ot tlio
stairs.
There, seen dimly by tho flickering
lc.'im of tho candlo which she held in
hor hand, I recognized Janet 1 On
er head sho woro a looso hood of the
samo color as her dress. Almost at
tho samo moment tho light was extin
guished, and I heard tho opening and
closing of the houso door.
1 was so surprised by her unexpected
ppearanuo that lor an instant J hesi
tated whether to alarm old Brown or
to tako tho affair into my own hands.
Deciding on the latter course, as by
far the better ol the two, 1 snatched
up my hat and hurried after her.
It was darker than over, and as 1
ooked up tho road I could just dis
cern her figure somo distance ahead of
me. Then my misgivings vanished
like a dream. Tho instant beforo I
had suspected thero was something
wrong; now I was certain of it. Sho
had evidently a purpose in this expedi
tion, of which her undo knew nothing,
and I determined to discover what that
urposo was.
JUino was no easy task. 1 dared not
let ber get too far in adyanco in tho
arkness, for fear of losing her alto
gether, and kept so close at her haels,
that had she turned sho must havo dis
covered mo. Fortunately, sho never
aused to look back, but kept Btraight
on, and alter lollowing Her tor somo
minutes, I camo in sight of the black
tower of tho church, set stark against
tho night sky.
oho stopped at tho ctiurohyard gale,
mil was presently ioinod by a man
who had evidently been waiting for her
close by. I could not sco his face, but
ho seemed to bo ot powerful build, and
the very prime ot life. Urecping
by tho sido of tho hedgo that bordered
the road, I approached nearer and
nearer till I was opposito to them, and
could hear every word.
Well, Janet," said tho man, "tho
first and most important question, my
dear, is havo you brought tho
money ?"
"io."
"No? But you promised mo you
vould, and this is tho third timo I havo
waited for it in order to tako vou to
London, when) wo can be married with
out any fus, and without any ono's
being a bit tho wiser. I begin to
think your body's bigger than your
heart, ray girl. Besido, what tho
dcuco does it matter ? Tho old man's
money will belong to you by-and-by.
on know; so, it it comes to that, you
aro only helping yourself to your own,
and tho sooner tho better."
I saw Janet's head droop; sho laid
her hand on his arm as if to depreoato
us anger.
"1 would have brought it, ' sho fal
tered, "but I could not. Only havo
patience and wait till to-morrow.
There's a stranger staying at uncloV,
and I was afraid ho might hoar mo if I
tried to got it to-night."
Ah, 'ho retorted. "What docs tho
fellow want, I wonder?"
"I dont know, answered Janet,
"but from what I havo saw of him I
think it is likely ho's como about the
robbery."
I had nover taken my oyes off tho
man, and watched him now as ho
pulled out his handkerchief and wiped
his forehead with it. Perhaps tho
heat was a little too much for him.
And, oh, George," sho continued
earnestly, "I am always troubled and
uneasy when 1 think about that. I
never doubted you, but I know you
wero badly off when you first camo to
our place, indeed you told mo so your
self, if you remember. I don't know
how it is, cither, but I'm afraid undo
suspects you, though ho says nothing
to me about it. If you would only
trust me, dear, wo might manage some
how to send tho money back to tho
rector. I know you would never do
such a thing again. It breaks my
Heart oven to think ot it.
Poor Janet, very much affected, put
her arms round his neck and fairly
wept aloud. I had not moved a step
from my covert, but my blood turned
to fover heat and my hand wandorcd

crty. Meanwhile I guessed who ho
was. Janut line called him George.
and I readily identified him as a no
torious burglar named Gcorgo linn
way, who had hitherto managed to
cludo capture. It mattered not tiowt
his doom was scaled.
After half an hour's walking ho
quickened his pace, and, striding brisk
ly along, led moon till wo had left tho
church somo distnnco behind us. Bo
foru long tho road began to slope
away; tho measured boat of his feet
grow fainter, and 1 judged that ho
had taken tho open country. My sur
miso proved correct, for I presently
camo to a broken gate, nnd, looking
through, saw him slowly crossing tho
field boyond.
IIo ovidetitly know his way well, for
ho never hesitated at any obstacle, and
cleared hedges and ditches with tlio
careless easo of one to whom such
work is familiar. Pruscntly ho turned
to tho left; wo wore on level ground
again, and at tho foot of a hill. Then
tho vidian stopped, and looked over
his shoulder on tho open ground behind
him. No sooner did no notice mo
than he started off at a brtk run.
But I w.n not to bo foiled liko that,
and ho could not easily outstrip rae.
As ho mounted tho hill I lost sight
of him, and when I reached tho sum
mit ho was gono.
Beforo I could realize the meaning
of this, I saw a hut a littlo way off,and
I went to it at onco to sco if ho was
thero.
I knocked no ntiswer. 1 knocked
again, and so vigorously that tho crazy
door rattled in its frame. Whilo thus
occupied 1 took a careful view of tho
surrounding plain, and satisfied myself
that my man had as completely disap
peared as if tho carlh had swallowed
him.
Suddenly and quietly the door
opened, and I found mjself confronted
by a woman. Her heavy cap covered
half her face, and from under it her
dark eyes looked at me with a hard,
defiant staro as sho requested to know
my business.
"You have somebody staying with
you," I began.
"Yon aro mistaken,'' sho answered
coldly; "no ono lives hero but myself.
You can como in and see, if you liko.'1
I nodded and stepped in without an
swering her. I saw a change in her
face m I did so, and instantly drow my
own conclusions from it. Smoothly
as appearances looked, thero was some
thing hidden beneath them that court
ed inquiry and possibly detection
something that warned tno instinctively
to bo on my guard.
"Hanway is here," I thought, "and
this hag is his accomplice."
iho hut consisted of ono room,
roughly divided into two by a wooden
partition which ran across it, leaving
an aperturo at ono end sufficiently
wide to allow a person to
pass from ono compartment into an
other. In front, and facing the window,
was a table and a stool; on tho other
sido of tho partition, a mattress and
somo articles of bedding littered tho
lloor. A fire burned choerfully in tho
rusty grate, and tho atmosphere was
that of a furnace.
My attention was attraclod to my
guide, and I could not help remarking
tho sturdy strength of hor figure.
"Look," sho said gullly, "thero's no
man that I know of. Do look round
now. There, you sco all thero is to
ho seon not much, cither and unless
you fancy ho's hidden under the floor
ing, you will admit thor's no ono in tho
loom but myself. Aro you satisfied
now, Mr. What-d'yc-call-it ?"
"No. I replied. "I shall wait a
bit."
"You will?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
I saw her temper Hash up in her
eyes, and guessed that I was on tho
ght track.
"Because I am a detective, and am
looking for a man whom I followed
hero.
"Bah !"
"I am not easily deceivod," 1 contin
ued, "and I am certain ho's somowliTO
near.
"Bah!"
Ilor cool insolonco irrated mo bo
om! measure, but I conquered my ris
ing anger.
Uome, ilanie, 1 said at last, "it
won t answer for us to quarrol, nnd
othing you can say or do shall turn
mo from my duty. Short of burning
tho hut down, you might as well try to
raovo a mountain as move mo. Vou
can go whero tho firo is, or do as you
think proper. I shall not annoy you.
But hern I am, and hero I will stay till
aybrcak."
Wo looked at each other in sileuoe.
Her breath camo quiokcr, and her eyes

fierco inteiest, as though sho was cal
mating what was ray physical strength,
n tho ovent of my encountering tho
man 1 sought in a hand-to-hand
struggle whero thero was no ono to
help me.
The next moment 1 was alone, and I
heard her roll herself down on tho
mattross with a fierce snarl as sho
meant to sleep.
I took a hurried turn across the floor,
drew tho stool in Jront of tho door,
nnd sat down on it, with my arm rest
ing on tho table. The tiro was still
burning behind tlio partition, and so
bright was its glare that tho shadow
of tho woman's cap loomed through
tho opening on to thowaii opposito me
tll was silent nil still as death
around us.
Slowly tho night woro on. Tired
as I was, my anxiety forbado mo to

much pleasuro in recalling them.
When I noticed tho woman again, I
saw that sho had moved. Sho was slt
llng up, tho outlino of her head sharply
dclincd against tho wall. I sprang to
my feet.
Tho woman had risen loo. For
an instant I saw her motionless shad
ow tho noxt, and I behold a startling
transformation. The bent ficuro grow
erect; the shawl loll Irom her shoulders;
tho concealing cap was torn aside. It
ad Hashed on mo in a moment, even as
I looked. No woman's shadow wag

staggered, gavo ono littlo shivering
leap, and loll back dead on tho lloor.
At daybreak 1 searched tho place,
and found under tho mattress tho plat.o
and some of tho money ho had stolo
from the church. I found tho falso
beard which ho had worn us a disguise,
I found several letters signed "Janet,"
which I at onco destroyed, and then I
went back to tho inn to write out my
report of tho case.
Though I said as little as possiblo
concerning tho part that I bud played
in detecting the robber, tho story
leaked out somehow, and I was pro
moted, aqd I received a handsome re
ward into tho bargain. Out of com
passion for Janot I kept my knowledge
of her soorot to myself, and whilo nono
ot tho villagers suspected that Hanway
had como by his death in any unusual
manner, her undo alone knew the act
ual truth. In time sho forgot hor
worthless lover; she married a well-to-
do miller in tho noxt village, and I still
see her occasionally, when I go down
there.
Smuggling Liquor Into Iowa,
HOW CIIIOAdO DKAI.HItS SUPPLY A PKOIII-
T10N STATU WITH WHISKEY.
There is a great demand just now
among wholesale liquor dealers for old
grocery boxes, hogsheads, sugar bar
rcls and the like. A dealer on Fifth
avenue was seen to purchase half a
dozen empty hogsheads a fow days ago.
Thoy wero taken into tho store, and
an hour later taken out and hauled
away on a dray. Bits of straw pro
truded through their cracks, their tops
wero carefully marked "glass" and
they wero not too heavy for ono roan
to handle easily. But thoy contained
not "glass only, as could bo told by
the broad smile which lighted up tho
dealer's faco as the ungainly things
wero boing hauled away. "You buto-
ly do not mean to say that you ship
glassware over tlio country 1" interro
gated a reporter.
"Oh, no," ho answered, "not that.
You see, when Iowa becamo a Prohi
bition Stato tho inhabitants had to re
sort to somo now method of securing
liquor. If we wero to ship a barrel of
whiskey to an Iowa dealer without
having a permit to show the railroad
company it would refuse to carry it.
Consequently, to accomodate all those
ho havo no permit lor selling liquor,
wo havo adopted this method. To
somo wo ship a hogshead marked glass
It is nearly all tilled with straw, but in
io centro is a neat littlo cask ot liquor.
Somo prefer to have it sent as though
were groceries, while others receive
in old trunks, baskets, or oven
nmotig an invoico of clothing. Many a
clothing merchant receives a cask of
liquor in his box of clothing and then
quietly passes it out to some acquaint
ance or lakes it to his house. It is more
expensivo to Bond it packed, as tho re
ceiver has not only to pay lor tho liq
uor, but lor tho packing and trunk or
whatever it is shipped in. In conse
nuence of this, persons living in Daven
port havo it shipped in barrels or casks
Hock Island, 111 , or those at Council
Bums havo it sent to Umaha, and so
forth. They then put it in a boat and
carry it across the river at night."
"lias tho stringent law in Iowa
had any depressing effect on tho Balo
t liquor tor consumption in that
Stato ?"
On tho contrary," answered the
dealer, "our sales havo increased. They
cau t pass laws enough to keep people
from getting liquor if they want it,
and tist now Iowans seem to want it
worse than they did botorii tho law
was r
massed. It is nothing to us. Wo
aro iiceusuu to sen it, uy mu govern-
iient. and if thov want it sent in sham
boxes it is nothing to us. But bear in
s. inn uear in
mind it is not only our houso that docs
this, but many others in Chicago liq
uor shops in a similiar manner. Wo
get paid lor it, nnd that is what wo
are hero for."

"How's Your Liver f"

"To Slake, to some extent,
Each evil Liver

Of harmless merriment."
A nobler task than making evil liv-
crx, rivers of harmless merriment no
per.o.i, king or layman, could tako up-
on himself. The liver among tho nn-
ch'tils was considered tho source of all
a man's evil impulses, and the chances

the tatement that during the four days
