I was standin"; in our oifice, Itfliind my desk, vticn our chief mtprod tlie nxjm with a letter in his hand, and ad dressed me with an invitation to under take the unravel iiitf of a niysterv which had hallled the local i.li e 'at T- . I consented and dearted for the scene of the crime which had lieen committed, much limited, however, as to the time 1 was allowed for spendintr on the case. Two hundred and titty-live thousand marks had lw-en stolen from the widow of a "Well-connected man named Friedow. Her villa stood outside the izaXrs of a small town, and the lost jirojit-rty con sisted chielly in coitions andsm h vlue. together with a little coin. Her habit was to keep l'aiers of importance, as well as money, in a chest of drawers he side her bed. Her sleeiiinr room was situated on the lirst lloor and had but one window, which looked out himui the yard. Hercoiilideiitiall'i ieiuls had often advised Fran Friedow to keep her poM At least in some safer place, but she had ahvas resisted such counsel, and put no faith in banks or bankers. As to the safe, she had a erred that if robler.s did ever molest her. unless her trusty dop and her faithful Frederick, who was her factotum and the only male jierson upon her little projierty. could ipt protect her. an iron li- would avail little be yond, perhaps. delai:.p the thieves in lawn? hold of what tl.ev wanted. On the nijiht of the "7th of May the lxor lady was suddenly awakened aiMiut t w t-lve o'clock. Her room was illumi nated, lie fore her lied stood a small, thin man. with a lantern in his left hand and a hatrhet in his right. In a roiiph. disguised voice lie threat ened to knock out her brains if she so much as ventured to utter a sound. The unfortunate frau was already voice- : less from alarm. This sjiecch could scarcely make her more ipu'et. but she could use her eyes, ami did so for the ' next few seconds while her visitors re-' maiiied with her. she saw that the sj-eakt r wore black hose, a blue blouse and a mask ; and that two more men were busy in the background breaking I ojM-n her chest of drawers. In the far- . the-st Lack division, covered over bv : stork mils, yarn and tlax. lay a round tin rase, in which she kept hrr movable treasures. She w as just recovering hi-r-seif sutlii iently to begin thinking about , risking hei life by railing tor help, w hen t he smothered clliug of a dog w as heard "without. Tin' thieves had found what they wanted, however, and sprang with it to the window, one sash of which was "i n. They threw themsehes ujion a ladder without, and descended to the ground, while the third man still kepi pliai'd lxsiile the lied. Frail Friedow cried for "Help, help!" with all la r mieht. "Von may scream as long as you like, now." he rnul tered. t liming away and following the others from tlie room. Fiedcrick apeared at this instant, having been awakened by the noise. , lie found the ladder st ill in its place, and going lielow. wasjust in tinieto save the life of the house-tiop. which had been almost choked by a cord twisted round his neck fastening him to his kennel. -Th;- man-servant roused up the neigh Kirs, but all pursuit, then or later, by friends privately or by the police pub licly, had la-en in vain. Not the least clue had hitherto been obtained as to the identity of the house-breakers. This was how the matter stood when I arrived at T . When I had pri vately communicated with the magis trates, my second visit was naturally paid to Frau Friedow. I sought every where for any special indications which might put me on the right track, but what I found was desja-ratelv little. Like those who had gone before me. I concluded that the roluVry had. at anv rate, been accomplished by persons well acquainted w it h t he locality, as entrance to the pit-mists had lx-en made bv a small door in the yard, of the verv ex istence of which many of the neiglilmrs were unaware. The ladder made use of had N-en dragged out of a nook in which it had long hu i concealed. A pane of glass had U'cn smashed in the window of the l'd-room to enable one of the as sailants to slip back the l'lt. A few footprints had been traced, but there was nothing remarkable about their ap l arance. ami they had lieen lo-t at once ui!i the high road or street upon which the little court-ard opened. One thing seemed alone certain amid the maze ol perplexity : the housebreak ers must lie sought from among neigh Ihus. servants, friends or relations. Now the neighlmr theory, upon investi gation, seemed utterly luti'e. and one i;!aiice at old Frederick was enough to make one dismiss all thoughts connected with the second term in the list. There remained the friends and rela tions in the habit of visiting at the villa. The w idow had not the faintest suspi cion of foul p'.ay in any of these ; never theless. ! made her des.-r;lie and closely pari icu'arie them all to me. I took up half a doen imaginary scents ; I ran hilht-r ami thither. I telegraphed in various directions. I worked, in fact, in tlie sweat of my brow : but. alas ! the result was simply nothing, nothing, nothing. I never Ik-fore had lieen so ut terly puzled and hopelessly at fault. ( n the fourth day of my residence at T . I went again to the villa, where the w iiloW greeted me with eyes full of expectation. "Frau Friedow," I said, "it set ms to me hardly ssib!e that you are utterly without suspicion in every iitiiiter. There must surely lie some one or other on wh m your mini! has fixed, if it were but for a second. Con fess it is so. and confide in me." "I assure you I have not even a shad owy thought such as you descrilie,"" she replied in a much disappointed tone. "And has nothing more struck n about those men you saw in your room than you have already mentioned ? One remembers things on due consideration which have lieen often overlooked lie fore. 1)1.1 you notice no iieruMariiv alxitit any of the scoundrels; in the voi. e. for instance, the way of standing, the hands of him who held the axe? Had he mi a ring ? Did he look rough, like t he others "There was one little thing I may not have told lx-fore." she replied slowly. "It was scarce worth telling. When the two fellows ran ulT down the ladder with my little case, the window slapped down as they dNapjieared. The third man pushed it npagain to go after them, but in so doing 1 think he must have put his hand through the broken pane, and have hurt it w ith the glass, in his haste. I certainly heard h.m mutter to himself, as if he were in distress." "Was there no trace of blood left '?" I ashed, anxiously. .'None whatever." 1 began my invest igations anew, and this time with the doctor of the district. We got into a lively dissertat ion upon "HE IS A FREEMAN WHOM THE TRUTH EBENSBUIIG, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 25. 1879. ! wounded hands, and in particular upon ' hurts inflicted by glass. Hy degrees 1 j ! acquired the. to me. very interesting ! fact that some three weeks since, when j the medico was riding home to break- ; fast after an early call, a strange man j had suddenly appeared in the middle of j the highway and had implored his help, j I He claimed of having fallen un a heap : I of broken glass, and held tint his right , ! hand to exhibit its condition. The doc- j ; tor took out his pocket case of instru-i ; meiits. and extracted five splinters from j 1 the inflamed palm. While he did so the i j patient whimjieretl like a woman. j "How was the fellow dressed?" 1 j cried, breathlessly. ; " A blue blouse and black underclothes. : as far as I can recall." j l "Could you identify him again ?" j "I'erhaps. II is face made an i in ires- ' ' sion on me. rather; because it did not j i seem to match the clothing, and yet, i ; now I think of it. I seem to see only an ! ordinary brow, nose and mouth. I fan- j cv it was the set of the head on the ; 1 shoulders which looked remarkable. ' Artizans and such folk usually look ; ' otherwise. That is all I can say . J5ul j what makes this matter interesting to !yon?" I lielieve your complaining patient I to lie the principal in the late robbery, i ! concerning which I have come down ! here." I replied, in a low voice. "Can ! you give me any idea as to what tx-came j of the man after you were tlmie with . him ?" The doctor looked at me in amaze- 1 ment. "I think he went toward Ems." he replied, ! I lost no time in going the si me direc- tion. An old tree, which forked at the top. and carried a lell in that division, stood on a height near the shore. Here those who wanted to lie ferried over the river must stop and ring for the lat man. whose house stood in a sheltered nook at hand. I shirked preliminaries, and made at once for the dwelling. Here I found a gigantic jierson. who de clared herself the daughter of the ferry man, and the customary rower, when, j as now, her father wasabsent. I sought to gain the confidence of this damsel.

The pn uilar ant ipat hy to the enforced military training loosed her tongue at once. "Ves. yes." she replied: "a young man in great haste did surely go over a little i ime back." "He wore a blue blouse and black hose ?"" "Maylie; but it s'-ems tome he had , others with him. or of his party." "Very probably. Two others. I sup pose ?" "This was how it was. One. man came to me in the early dawning. I put him across. An hour or so later there came ,-r second, and asked anxious ly about the fust. When I told him he was beyond he seemed content enough, and followed. The third, your friend with the blouse, asked if he were the hrst who had wanted me that day. lie asked me part icidarly alKiut the two I had already rowed over, and then seem- . ed right gay. and jumped into the lwat ; himself." "Ah ! One of the three carried a tin box ?" I said, slipping a coin into my new acquaintances" hand. "I never noticed," answered the girl. "Hut I saw that the third man carried a . round bundle or parcel wrapped in a red handkerchief under his arm." "Did he give you a good reward for taking him over ?" "Nothingniorethan all the world ten ; pfennings." "With his right hand ?" "Why not ?" "Wasn't his right hand tied up?" "Not that I saw. I only know he ; kept one hand in hisocket. whetherthe , right or h-ft I couldn't say now." 1 could have embraced the tall ff,rry- : woman, in spite of her forty summers ; and her uncertainty upon minor points. , It was plain that the three ruffians for better security had separated, and that the last comer was the leader in and the chief beneliter by the crime which had been committed. During his confab w it 1 1 the doctor, no doubt lie had hidden the soils in s'Une hedge. I was upon his t rack now . lint I had soon to cry "lost !" It was a grievous disapjMiimment tome. l!e Voiid Kins the clue was nowhere to lie followed. I labored in vain in this neighborhood for days. I made friends with all sorts of jieople letter-carriers, Hrtcrs. waiters and walked many a weary mile in the hot sun. but all to no purpose. I was baffled and wholly at : , fault as much as though I never had a hint at all to follow. Nine days had gone by since T had . come to T . I turned into a beer garden in the m ighliorhood of the town one evening, and sat down near a well lighted bow li iir -alley . in which about ten gentleman were busy at a game. My seat w as rather in the shade, I paid little attent ion to the players, but leaned my head ujxm my hand and reviewed the defeat I had sustained and the small es timation in which I should "lie held, for sake of it, by my colleagues and chief at home, feeling altogether extremely out of humor, suddenly an ill-thrown ball rolled almost to my b et. "A miss, a miss!" shouted several voices together, while one cried. "Why. r.ottchcr. is your hand not even yet re covered ? You are not complaining of it still y" I felt like a huntsman in a forest who : sees the game at his gun's end. I was on the alert that second. I lost no time in finding out all Ilerr IJoticher's ante cedents. He was a merchant, one of Frau Friedow "s connections, and an oc casional visitor at her house. He was a continual guest atiliis place of enter tainment. I brought the doctor here next evening, and set him to work steal 1 hilv considering my game. My discom fit ure was great when he llatly refused , to identify 1 1 err Hot tcherand his patient as one and the same )erson. They might I be one. he confessed ; but then they might not. If the medico turned rusty, like this, i it seemed to me utterly useless to bring hither the ferrywoman on a like errand. - I must trust to myself alone. We oili- rials have two met hols of doing business 'of this sort. We use the long or short ! line, according as either seems most , likely to suit. I determined to try one j after the other. ' In order to put llo-tcher quite off the j scent. I went now to the host of this . house of entertainment, and introduced i myself to him as a Hamburg agent for the forbidden lotteries. I liegged him i to keep this close, but 1 saw very plainly j by his face that he intended doing noth ing of the sort. Next morning, to my 'great content iiiriit. I found nivself out Sr. J MAKES FREE, AND ALL ARB SLAVES BESIDE." wardly underthe supervision of the town jMilice and generally regarded by the public as a shabby individual. I meantime was as busy as ever, but it was little I discovered. Ilerr llottcher w as certainly not in good repute amongst his fellows. Nevertheless. I could hear of no particular difficulty in which he had fallen of late, although I did learn that he had, three weeks since, made a hasty journey. One little fact, however, seemed to lie of great worth. Ilerr Hottcher these times slept badly, ami was wont to rise often by night and pace up and down the garden. I lay lurking for two entire nights under bushes in this same plat ; but dur ing all those weary hours whoever ? come to this place, Herr Hottcher un fortunately did and in the garden I could find no trace of any hidden treas ure or likelihood of such. I fell into greater despair than lx-fore. What could 1 do ? I'lxni one side my absolute certainty of having tracked my man : on the other, no earthly means of bringing home his guilt. If I only had sutlicient ground to demand a search through the rascal's house, but I had not. One afternoon I was walking up and down my room considering, when the jxist brought me a brief but concise and decisive dispatch from my chief ; "Keturn immediately unless all mat ters are in train. Give up. Your pres ence here is necessary." This order was like a thunderclap in my ears. My commanding officer was plainly displeased at my long delay. should I simply throw the cards down and venture all on one trick this same evening, so as to be ready to depart to morrow, at furthest ? I decided for the hist alternative. Twelve gentlemen sat in the town cl ab-rooiu. My fri.-nd made one of them. To his great surprise. I sat down close to him and legan to talk a little. I 'resen tly our nearest neighlor stood up and lb-parted, to my great joy. 1 ln-nt over Hottcher now and whispered that I had a weighty matter to talk, over with him. "What mav it lie?" he inquired calmly- "You believe I am here as a lottery agent ?" He nodded. '"I all) not. however. I ha ve been sent hereon detective business by t he Prus sian ttolice office." Herr Hottcher took this revelation significantly. On the in stant he knew not how to compose his features. He lirst drew in his face as if wishing to look astonished, and then he tried to smooth away all but supreme in difference. After a second or two. dur ing which I had studied him as a ser jient docs its prey, he said in a constrain ed tone: "How does that concern me, pray, good sir ?" "You haveheard of a Widow Friedow from whom a large sum of money has been stolen. T have come here to hunt up the thief. I have got on the right , track. You. I know, arc related to her, and concerned in the property she pos sesses as a probable heir." While I spoke thus I looked him straight in the eyes. They sparkled like those of an angry cat making ready to spring. "And you will arrest me, I suppose?" : he gasjied angrily. I should have loved to seize him by the throat then and there, shouting. "In the name of the law." To this day I wonder how 1 restrained mvself. but I did. "How can you talk so ?" T exclaimed calmly. "I only mean that you must help me bring the criminal to justice, being, as you are, interested in the in heritance." "With all the pleasure in life." he re plied heartily. "I will do what I can. Hut what is it you want of me ?" "Karly to-morrow I will come up to you to consult over the matter, and wo can then decide on our proceedings." Hottcher drew a long breath. "This is most unfortunate." he exclaimed. "I have an urgent summons, and must start from T lie fore daybreak. Per haps I may be even obliged to leave this evening. I owe a heavy sum of money, and must apear iersonally to my cred itor and demand further delay. I can not wait." I could scarce restrain my joy. The game had run his bead right into my lasso: only one pull nvw, and the knot was fast. "Don't trouble." I said quietly. "Hy and by will do for me. I shall lie in T for another week. When you Come back w ill answer as well." "All right. I exjH'ct to return in a couple of days," he exclaimed. "Hut stay, one question! Is Dr. Milling mixed up in this affair ?" ")o you know him ?" "Hy sight only." "He will help nio to identify the crim inal." I said, coolly looking full again into my eompaiiiori's face, which took a horrible tint and expression now. "Can he do so ?" "Certainly. lie saw the man. dressed like a laliorer, the morning jitter the roblierv was effected." "Who was this ruffian ?" : asked, breathlessly." "His name is Kbbing I ' answered, at haphazard. Hot tcher think," I "I don't know him. this. "I daresav," said I was the reply to "he onlv comes . here at times." I I arose now. broke off our conversa tion with every aiearance of confidence ' and departed, having shaken Hottcher I by the hand. I went stealthily to his house and waited. I had been there but : about a quarter of an hour w hen a trap ; dashed up to the door, llottcher sprang ' rtut of it. went inside for a few minutes. and then reappeared, carrying something under his left arm. As he got iix.n one side of the vehicle. T jnnix'd nxm the other, and seized hoid of my game. He made not the least resistance, but sat '' like one enchanted. "Are those Frau Friedow's pa'rs you. have under your arm ?" 1 inquired. : "Yes. they are," he replied. I made the coachman take us where I could put the robber in safe keeping. When a maii is suddenly discovered in a crime' he is sure to commit some piece of folly. I had reckoned upon this, and was not out in so doing. My game had literally walked into my hand, and I felt '. rewarded tit last for all my trouble and dis,ipxinting delays. Hottcher was sentenced to six years in : the house of correction. His coadjutors wen- not caught.

When a young girl takes the affairs of ; this world into her own hands, as most ! young girls will do. and sets out on an : eventful career on her own hoik, there i is hardly ever any nonsense about it. She j generally gets her ideas from a novel, or i I w hole lot of novels, which are forever j I around in the way of young girls, and ! ! organizes herself by the adoption of a ; resolution that she is no ordinary kindof human U ing. An accompanying resolu- . - tion is that she ought to have leen a j man, and she liegms to make up her ! ! mind that if she were a man she'd show ! them how things ought to n; done ; that ; men as they run are outrageously jxmr t sticks, and that if there were one thor- ' j oughly determined man in this world ; j and no young girl ever Iwlieved there was such the earth would not Wallow- : ' ed to revolve another day in the same i old humdrum way ii has revolved for thousands of years, but it would lie ' turned the other end up without any . special preliminaries. You have seen -: that girl a great many times ; she has ; ; lx-cn more or less in about every com- ; munity on the face of the globe. She ' was in a little town in Kentucky the i other day, and at the time had "more : i than ordinary resolution, which, when coupled with the ambition to le a man. ; invariably leads to something desjeratei ' It is too bad that we cannot ofier the public anything very romantic in the ' way of a name tor this Kentucky young j ' girl, but romance must le sacrilieed for truth in all cases of fairdealing.and the truth is this young girl's name is Susan Johnson. The story about her is also true. She had read novels for want of ; something else to occupy her attention, as most young girls' do. and the kind of literature she encountered was ably cal culated to lire the feminine heart with the idea that everything is going wrong all over the world, and simply for want of one resolute character to grasp the ; universe by the coat coliar and shake it into projier shape and behavior. It oc ' curred to the Kentucky young girl that it was her duty to perform this simple act of heroism for the benefit of human i kind. It was right in the Line of her ambition when she came to think about it. The only obstacle in the way, that she was not a man. was overcome by a timely display of true genius and a suit of masculine apparel, which, however . contrary to the law. doth oft become a girl. Having got the clothes. Susan Johnson added to the accessories of heroism two pistols and a dagger. She laid aside her hair-pins and icarl-iowder and store frizzes and an assorted stock of pink bows, and then went out to search for some part of the universe that she could get a good grip on. singularly ignorant f common schoil geography, as most novel readers of her kind are apt to lie. she started for an Indiana town which has never had the reputation f ln ing ; the centre of anything in particular. She went on an Ohio river boat, with two pistols and her dagger, fully intending to lie a terror and make every young girl feel more thanever sorry that she hadn't been Ikuii a man. This piratical and heroic kind of career met with no obsta cle for a day or two. and the young girl : was liegimiing to feel that it was a ridi culously simple thing to be a man af ter all. She was tin a particular afternoon, revolving some plans for disposing of the world after she had conquered it, and watching the deck hands tumble some freight alout. It didn't for a moment occur to her that there was a rat any where in the neighborhood, but there was. and. when Ihe roiistaliout distuilx-d it. with all the recklessness of its kind it ran by direct line toward the young girl in lioyVs clothes and two pistols and a dagger. It was not a moment for hes itation or heroism. A woman never iIihs but one thing when she sees a rat : she jumps up on something and creams. That istc.xaetly what Susan Johnston did, and when they took her off the bale of tobacco and carried her tt) the ladies' cabin she gave up her two pistols and dagger and lmy's clothes and concluded to release the world from any further menace at her hands. She has gone back home now and got out her riblauis and triz.esand has settle down to tatting work again. She can read novels with perfect safety now; she knows more about life than half the people who w rite novels, liecause she has seen ii rat. Her advice to little girls is not to grow upto be men. 1'liihnh , lhit 77xt.s. THAT AWfTL- ( 01V.

A touching story is narrated in con nection with the recent execution of Walter Watson at Highland. Indiana, for the murder of Kzra Compton. The parties had quarreled alxuit the charge of a quarter dollar for some soap made by Compton. who was a storekeejier. The wife of Watson, to whom he had lieen but a year married, endeavored to I restrain him from the quarrel, but her i entreaties failed. A week In-fore the execution Mrs. Watson visited the gover nor, with her bain; in her arms, and j made a strong crsonal apeal for mercy, but that official declined to interfere lie cause the sentence had lieen confirmed i by the supreme court. The laTthful i wife was a daily visitor to her husband's cell, and joined him in fervent prayers : for forgiveness. During the last night ' most of the time she sat on his knee, breathing words of love and encourage ment, or at his feet, caressing his hands. He was truly a enitent. and expressed 1 himself ys having made peace w ith id. As thetime approached for the execution she was for a moment overcome, and fell on her husband's neck in uncontrol lable anguish, but suddenly she raised her flaxen head and assisted in array ing him for his doom, she had contributed a necktie and a pair of slippers, and put them on him with a tierce determination that overmastered her agony. Shecomb ed his hair, and seeing till was ready, said she would go with him. All present remonstrated with her. in which the minister joined, ller reply was a rebuke that few Women would have ventured. "I should not have expected this from a minister. When 1 was married I prom ised to cleave to my husband for letter or for worse. I promised this to a min ister, and I am going to keep my word as far as liod w ill h i me." ( n reach ing t he gal iows t he pair soon o he sunder ed mounted the steps hand in hand. They were seated side hy side over the fatal trap. She again took his hand and soblied with her little head resting upon his shoulder, while the minister made the closing prayer. Meanwhile thecnlprit sat inhis chair, unmoved. A heart-broken wife was sobbing on his lxisnin. strong men soli lw'd. but the man about to lie hanged seemed an uninterested Sjiectator of the absorbing scene of which he was the central figure. For fully live minutes he sat there without the least percepti ble twitch of a muscle. There was no bravado in this comiosure: it was rath er the calmness of resignation. At the close of the religious exercises the two stood up. and for the last time she em braced her husband, kissed him passion ately, and with "Hood-bye. Walter." stcped back and fell back into the arms of the good Christian lad it s v. ho were there to receive her. The last words of the unhappy man were a prayer for mercy and for heavenly aid to his s.or wife. At the sin riff's house she saw the remains of In r husband in his collin. and kissjipo; jj,s and arranging the hair, turned away with a look of woe. and said : "I can cry no more : I have no more tears, (iod have mercy on me and my little baby. " An hour later the rnihn was in an eat -bound train, accompanied by the wife. t llichland. a bleak stat ion seven miles from Highland, it was deposited on the barren ground, and as the train moved on only one other jerson lieside the widow was in charge. The face that broken-hearted woman turned upto the occupants of the passing train, most of whom had seen the hanging, will haunt manv in their dreams. "( i: E e n i n o s. " A youth living on Hagg street, which must lie in Detroit, rolled an apple barrel to the curbsione, filled it with cobblestones, headed it up. and marked the barrel: "Ciecnimrs handle carefully." The youth retired to await further developments, and soon they came. A sawdust wagon eainc along. and the driver jumped down and took a long look at the barrel. He pro bably reasoned that it had Ix-en deliver ed by a grocer, and he doubtless wonder ed why it had not been rolled into the c liar. Dusk was coming on. and the man drove off. Iu a quarter of an hour he returned, "di ceilings" were there yet. and he drove around the square, took the tail board out of his wagon and at length drove up close to the barrt 1. No one was in sight and he made a dash for the prize. He probably expected a rather heavy lift, but when In- felt the weight of those cobblestones his surprise must have lieen great. He gave one awf ul lurch, lifted the barrel about an inch, and as his fingers raked ovt r the hoops he groaned in agony and h ax-d into his wagon as if it dog had lx-en reaching for his coat tail. At various times (luring the night vehicles were heard halting and driving away, but when day broke the "greenings" were stili there, though only two hoops were left on t he barrel. A City of Caves.
