Adventures of a Detective.
MANY yaars ago, when western rail
road travel wainot the safest in the
world, and when all monies duo from the
east in paymont for western produce hud to
he sent in cash by the mails, there occurred,
not fir from Chicago each time, several ac
cidents in conscquenco of trains being
thrown off tho track, during which the
mail cars woro broken open and tho bags
robbed to a very largo amount. The first
of these accidents happened within six
miles of the "Garden City." and was
caused by tho Michigan Southern running
into tho Illinois Central mail train, if I re
member rightly, striking it at right angles,
and not only cutting it into two paits, but
making a wreck of both trains.
Tho loss in every way was large, and the
conductor and engineer was killed on tho
ipot tho former lying with bis face up
wards close to the mail car which it was
afterwards discovered, had been forced open
and the gold and silver it contained carried
off. Mr. Pinkerton, the great Western de
tect ivo, was then beginning one of the
most remarkable nnd successful careers
known to police history, and he discovered
upon tho face of tho dead conductor of tho
train the imprint of a nail bead, such as
was usually worn by English laborers in
the soles of their heavy boots. lie then
examined the ground and waslucky enough
to find a completo imprint of tho sole of
the left boot, containing a double row of
nails, all of which were exactly like that on
the conductor's face lie nWo made anoth
er impnuntii discovery mat mere wore
thrco nails wanting in the impress on the
earth, showing that three must bo also
wanting on tho solo of the boot that mado
It.
Mr. Pinkerton's theory so far, was this
that the robber was in so gioat a hurry to
force open tho mail car that he set his left
foot upon the lace of tho dead man without
sent, but who, when in town, stopped at
the hotel whew be then lodged. A' short
time afterwards he returned, and Pinkerton
found that he was an Englishman, and be
gan to took for his cloven foot. But be
did not wear it at the time he was intro
duced to him, and Pinkerton reasoned that
such boots as those hob-nailed onos could
only be in requisition in wetor dirty weath
er, and ho began to pray that it might rain,
lie kept a severe " and Clped watch ' Upon
the Englishman, and 'followed him always
when he could do so without detection.
A fortnight passed away, aud the Eng
lishman began to exhibit signs of great un
easiness and unrest.' lie was also going
out at night and Pinkortou was always
following him, and his face was always
turned towards the railroad, upon which ho
was sure to descend and make examinations
of tho road for about a mile and a half on
both sides of the village One day ho bad
received some letters from New York, and
Pinkerton watched him moro closely than
usual. About a quarter of a mile, from the
village was a graveyard on a hill which
commanded tho railroad, and at dark the
Englishman set out toward this wild . and
romantic spot, and Pinkerton aftor him.
Tho night was cloudy, but every now
and then the moon broke out and lighted
up the lovely scenery.
To Pinkerton's amazement, ho climbed
tho fence of the graveyard, and sat there
looking towards the village, so that his
"shadow" had to hido himself. . Presently
bo jumped on a grave, and strodo along
towards tho middle of tho cemetery, with
Pinkerton still aftor him, behind tho trees
and grave-stones. IIo could hear him
muttering to himself and occasionally talk
ing aloud, and then ho stolo up to him as
near as he dared, and managed at last to
creep into a vaulted gravo close to him,
one of the side slabs of which had fallen
down. Tho dew was heavy and tho grass
so surcharged with it that he was wet

hloqny from Lord Byron's "Manfred," and
occasionally gesticulating wildly to tho
rested upon the earth ; mid that one of the
nails "hob-nails" he cilled them having
started from the leather, was mure promi
nent than the lest, and so left its mark be
hind it, nnd with a seciot cluo for the de
tective. Unfortunately, bofure Pinkerton
came on tho ground, tliero had been so
many people about that the earth was trod
den down hard in the neighborhood of the
calamity, and ho had no chance of tracing
tho hob-nailed boot, and discovering its
owner.
IIo had made some important discoveries,
however, during this diflicult investigation.
IIo had found out that the robber, whoever
ho was, wine boots nailed with hob-nails in
a peculiar form round tho soles, with three
nails missing ; aud that the hoots were of
English make, and the wearer of them,
therefore, was probably an Englishman,
and that tho left boot made tho impression
on the face or tho dead conductor, and on 1
thojround. This was all tho clue that
ho had to the robber ; but meagre as it was,
he did not despair of bunting down his
quary. lie did not bcliovo, however, that
tho collision of tho trains was purposely
caused, but that it whs an accident, and
that the robbeiy was a sudden evil inspira
tion on the part of the robber.
Eighteen months passed away, and
Pinkerton, although always moro or less on
the watch, had well nigh forgotten tho hob
nailed boots, when ono line morning ho re
ceived a telegraphic dispatch which sum
moned him to another accident, which had
just happened on tho same railioad, within
twelve miles of the city of Chicago. , On
his arrival he found a great concourse of
persons, officers and men and passengers
about tho wreck, and he immediately or
dered a rope to bo paid out and guarded by
tho company's servants while he mado au
examination of the ground, and a search
for the hob-nailed boots, if, by any chance,
they might figure upon this scene also. He
first examined the locality whero tho ob
struction wa placed that overthrew the
train, and, to bis great joy and surprise,
there was the old boot mark with the many
hob-nails and a full impression also of the
right foot.
Of course he said nothing, but began to
make detours in all directions to see if be
could pick up tho ietrcuting trail. Ho
thought it most likely the man would go
boldly towards tho vilhigo nfier ho had laid
his trap, and su he hustened on till became
to a bit of grass leading to the main road
on the heights shove, Hero ho stumbled
upon the footmark once more, and proceed
ing right and left upon a Hue with this dis
covery, he found tho advancing foot too.
The grass, however, threw him off all fur
ther trail, but bo bad proved that tho same
man who ha 1 a band in the previous rob
bery bad planned tho present disaster also;
and, better still, that he came from and re
turned to the village. Owing to some so
cidont elsewhere this train was late by sev
eral hours. It was an early morning train,
and the design clearly was to throw It off
the lino aud rob tho mails, but it was de
feated. ,
Mr. Pinkerton remained privately in tho
village, putting up at tho chief hotel and
passing for a salesman of dry goods, for
several weeks, muling observations aud
notes.
' He soon know everybody in tho place,
and had not been there a week before he
began to suspect a man who was then ab-
moon. Was tho man mad? What ro
morse had brought him hero to vent itself
in tho terrible and dreadful lines of Man
fred? At length he pulled out his watch
aud tried to make out the time.
Then he jumped over tho fence nnd ran
down to the railroad, no was evidently
waiting for somebody. For whom? Time
would show perhaps for Pinkerton
still followed him. Once bo lost sight of
him. Then ho fancied he heard voices, and
hurried in the direction whenco the sounds
proceeded and wbon ho gained upon them
he found that his man was returning. So
bo skulked again, and tho man went over
to tho churchyard. IIo stopped several
times and listened. What had ho been
doing? Had ho laid anothor trap
! for the overthrow of another train ? It
was a dreadful thought ; and as it struck
him the due train was heard in tho dis
tance. On it came, and no one to warn
the engineer of tho possiblo danger. In
another moment it rushed past them, and
went thundering on in the darkness.
Then with all his soul in his ears did the
detective listen, exacting a crash every
moment. But it was not to bo. Tho man
watched it as it fled past and then turned
toward the villngo, and Pinkerton followed
him back to the hotel. : IIo was all ' this
time in socrot conference with the superin
tendent of tho tailroad, who lived near by.
The next day, when Pinkerton called n
him, he showed biin a letter which he had
received from sorno one who said ho knew
the gang that had thrown the last train
over and that they wanted to get him to
join them their , object being to cause
moro accideats before long. Ho offered,
for a consideration, to join them and be
come spy upon their actions for the coin
pany.
Pinkerton advised tho superintendent to
employ tho man, stipulating that ho should
bo allowed to come to the oflice while the
conference took place, in order that ho
might seo him and be able to identify him
lierealter. llo had no doubt in Ins own
mind who the man was. Ho felt sura that
ho was the same man whom he had follow.
I cd so often and so long up hill and down
1 dale, and into the very jaws of death. And
so it turned out. Tho man was engaged
tiy the superintendent, and was in corres-
1 pondence with a clerk in tho post oflice in
. New York, who informed him wheneve
i large sums wcro sent from that ollleo west.
This is a fact, however, that transpired
subsequently wheu all was over with this
very smart man who was so fond of play
ing tho spy. Mr. Pinkerton found thut
there was another man also in lenguo with
the " spy," and that his work kept him
chiefly in Now York. Pinkerton now ex
peoted every day there would be a " smash
up hut under the pretence that the con
splracy call him to New York, the "spy
left tho west and was gone so long thut
Pinkerton returned to Chicago.
About three weeks afterwards ho
ceived another dispatch to go Immediately
to the old station, his expectation belt
realized in another overthrow and robliery
of the mall train. On his arrival he saw
the same boot marks us in the former cases,
and was now satisfied that ho hiid got the
real crlmluul for lichold 1 ho bad returns
to the hotel two days 1efora tho "accident'
occurred; but bo had ' tho cunning to
be abed with another person all that night,
that ho might establis an alibi in case he
was suspected, r But still there was no le
gal proof against him. The boots never
showed themselves upon his legs, and
Pinkerton even overhauled his room in
search of thera, but without effect. Ho
found out, however, that he had a pair of
strong and black-grain boots whioh ho
woi on Jtny days, aud Pinkerton resolved
to lay a Crap for him on the next' wet day,
which happened during tho samo week
that ho "accident" took place. . , .
Ills trap was this:' Ho pursunded the
superintendent to lay down fine red sand
over all tho paths to tho oflice, and thou to
send his spy, hoping that ho would como
in his hob-nails. They had not long to
wait i for, expecting a payment of monies
no to him for services not rendered, ho
mo, wrapped up in a big coat, and hav
ing on thoso very boots that had
been so long a mystery to the detective
This timo there was no mistake Tho red
sand was pitted all over with tho small-pox
of thoso toll-talo boots, and now tho reader
will think there was nothing moro to. do
but to arrest tho man.
But what proof was thoro against him ?
Vivid circumstantial proof in abundance-
legal proof none at all.
Pinkerton had taken tho precaution to
to mako porfect casts and drawings of
the impressions in tho earth ; and if bo
could get thoso boots into his possession ho
might manage to scare tho owner It. to a
confession. However, ho resolved to get
him over to Chicago, under pretence of set
ting hint on the persons suspected of having
share in the lato smash-up.
In this he was successful, through the co
operation of tho superintendent ; and,
strango to say, ho carried his boots with
im on tho train. Pinkerton now mado up
is mind that he would have them by hook
or by crook. Boat midway station ho got
tho conductor, who knew the "spy," to
invito him to take a drink with him; nnd
when they woro out together thoso boots in
some quiet way found their way under Pink
erton's carriage seat. On the arrival of the
train at Chicago, Pinkerton followed his
man until they got into a quiet street, and
then arrested him, charging him point
blank with throwing over tho two trains iu
question, and also with tho robbery of the
Michigan Southern train sorno two years
before. ,.'
Ho shook in ' every limb, turned ghastly
pale, and In half an hour had mado full
confession of his crimes. IIo owned that
ho nnd a friend robbed tho mail nt the col
lision between the Illinois Central nnd
Michigan Southern, and said they went io
Europe and spent tho money in eighteen
months, when they returned, designing to
mako a regular trade of throwing trains off
the track and robbing tho mails. Ho was
tried, convinced and sentenced to tho Jack
sonville ponitentiary for life, where he died
after an imprisonment of ten years.
Such, as near as I can remember the facts,
is the story of thoso infamous transactions.
Thoro is not a word exaggerated, although
I am pretty sure that I may bo inexact in
some of tho minor details.
And who was the criminal? ' What was
tho name of the wretch who could thus
harden his heart to destroy his' fellow
creatures wholesale for tho sake of a few
thousand dollars? Reader, he was a natural
son 'of Lord Byron, and called himself
Oeorgo Gordon Augustus Byron. Ilis
mother Is said to have been a Scotch lady,
living in Ed inburgh at the time of his birth
and a Stewart by name. His accomplice
was a nephew of Sir Charles Napier.
Thoro is no doubt about the truth of the
story. Mr. Pinkorson is well known all
over tho continent, and in tho capitals of
Europe, as a sort of Police Napoleon, who
never lost any great case he undertook,
and whose talents are only equalled by his
integrity. It was he who has always re.
covered tho monies stolen from the Adams
Express company, and who saved President
Lincoln's life during his memorable journey
to Washington, and it was tho same great
detective who, when yet a young man,
worked up this Byron case.---V. Y. Keen

.SUNDAY BEADING.,
F Bible ThfnTTliatl .' ' ';'
v I confess for myself, and with all frank
ness, that the question of the Bible or
atheism, anti-theism, Pantheism j anything
rather than deism. Take away the Bible
and you take away all the angels. Not
singlo cherub or seraph ; not a singlo throne
or dominion, or principality or power; not
a singlo morning star or Son of Qod is left.
Gabriel vanishes as a phantom, and Michael
melts into air, and is seen no more. Take
away the Bible, and you take away the
elect succession of inspired man. Not a
single patriarch or priest or prophet or
apostle or evangelist remains to proclaim
or record a single superhuman oracle.
Moses and his law, Isaiah and his vision,
dissolve together. Matthew and his gospel,
rani and Ids epistles, perish in tho samo
fire. Nay, more, take away the Biblo,
and you take away tbo Lord Jesus Christ.
No longer need any disputes be had in
regai d to the natuie, person or oflice of
Christ, his history, condition or destiny I
All tho magnificont apparatus in prepa
ration for his coming is gone ! The cross
crumbles, and the sepulchre Binks, and
tho throne symbolized by tho rainbow that
ndoriis it, liko the rainbow, vanishes away.
His pre-existence, his current existonce,
his whole existence, is nothing.
And so of tho Holy Spirit ; take away tho
Bible, and the Spirit becomes a ghost in
deed, or rather less than a ghost. Like a
meteor it flashes from darkness and falls
into the blackness of darkness. And so of
the Father ; take away the Bible, aud tbo
Father retires into an impenetrable seclu
sion.infidelity more oblivious than was ever
imagined before. And theu when tho earth
is exhausted of everything inspired, and
Heaven of everything angelic, and tho uni
verse of everything divine, what is left?
What I is man left? Aha I bo it so. But
what kind of man is left? A man without
a Maker, without a Saviour, and without n
purpose, and without nn end. Tho noblest
of beings, aud yet tho meanest and most
misernblo all sensibility, sympathy and
affection, yet sittinir desolate in sackcloth,
among the graves of dead fi lends, full, him
self, of living memories, ever mourning for
the dead, but without hopo of their return,
having no hope but that he and his children
may like wiso dio and lo no more 1 And
what kind of an earth is left? And what
kind ot Heaven? And what kind ot a
universe?. Who cares what, kind? If a
man Iks a worm, if angels be the siiectres of
worms, if Father Son and Holy Ghost bo
mere names without substance who cares
what kind?

A (Jnorry of Mini Turtles.
WOOD county, Ohio paper contains
the following account of tho discov-
cry of a quarry of Mud Turtles. Kecently
two mon were ensnued in tho construction
of ditch No. 183. Tho ditch leads tbniiigU
a marshy swaniii, which has not piobxhly
in the recollection of the oldest inhabitant,
been as dry as this year, nnd even with tho
present great drouth, the team of horses
mired so badly that In some instances they
had to dig and pry them out from among
tho sunken bogs whero thoy liocamo en
tangled. In one place whilo plowing, mid
about 2 feet below the surface, thoy came
upon a literal patcli of huge mud turtles,
some of which woro nshtrgu on tho back as
the bottom of a Windsor chair, and so Hi in
ly imbedded were some of these tough cus
tomers, that they obstructed tho plow, and
threw it out of the furrow the same as a
stone or root would do. Five or six of these
lusty fellows would sometimes be turned
out by a single furrow. They had proba
bly sought this moist sjKit from some dis
tance as tho best place to go into winter
quarters.
"O it is just as different as can
said 0110 of my young friends.
" What is?" I usked.
"Why, being a Christian. Everything
is so diil'eront from what I expected."
" What, did you expect?" '
"When you usd to talk with mo about
being a Christian, I used to say to myself,
" No, I can't now, for I shall havo to do so
many hard things, and I nover can do
them." . : i
" What hard things?" :
"Oh, I used to think. "Now if I be.
como a christian, I shall havo to walk just
so ; shall havo to go to church and prayer-
meeting ; shall have to pray, aud read tho
Rihlo." It is so different from what
thought." ' 1
" Why, James, what do you moan I" I
exclaimed. " You do go to church and
prayer-meeting ; you do read the Kible and
pray ; you do try to walk just right, do you
not?"
"O, yos," answered James, looking up
with a bright smile, but I love to do them
That makes all the difference. I love
Jesus, and I love to do as ho wishes me to.'
Yes, lovo does make all tho difference.
Lovo is tho fulfilling of the law.
A Tnralig.polnt.
"Tho turning-point in my life," said a
centli man, "was when I was a boy, not
going to a low circus. 801110 kind of low
show and circus came into town, nnd
course all the boys were dying to go. My
mother did not want mo to go. I might
have stolen oil'. I had money enough in
my pocket, the boys did all they could to
persuade me, and, more than nil people
were going in squiuls to see it. It is so
easy to no with the multitude ; it is so hard
to make a stand, break away and go the
other way.
"That is exactly what I did. I master
ed the situation." I mastered myself, and
did not go.
" It was the rest lution then cnllod out,
aud called out erliaps for tho first time,
which bus, under Uod, served mo many a
good turn since, and made mo what I am."
tW Mrs. Van Colt says If she had all
the money ever paid for liquor she could
buy eveiy foot of land in tho woild. Very
likely. And if sho hud all the money paid
by women fur buck hair sho could buy every
drop of liquor in the work).
