HOW TO PROVE AN ALIBI---A DE
TECTIVE'S STORY.
One Sunday. about ten years ago, I found
myself at Carliele. I was considerably ac
quainted there, and had been there pretty often
on business; but my being there at this time
was the result of accident merely. I hid
been NO miles west of this, trying in vain to
find a clue to the whereabouts of an abscond-
log defaulter, and, coining back to take afresh
start, I found that a flood had submerged the
track for several miles east of Carlisle, and
that there would be nn getting away till Mon
day, at the least. So I made a virtue of ne
cessity, and teleg•aphing my detention and
its cause to my family, I went up town.
After dinner at the hotel, I dropped in at
the office of the district attorney, with whom
was well acquainted. I found him arrang.
ing the details of a number of criminal cases
which were to be tried at the court which be
gan on the following Monday.
" Anything of importance I" I asked,rather
carelessly.
"One, at least," he replied. "Joe Slifer, a
notorious scoundrel, is to be tried for high
way robbery. The victun wuma dragged out
of his buggy on n lonely road, beaten insensi
bly, and •- , 1,1),.,1 tl.OOO Vl^ "-^"'-^ gh.
ler positively as one of the ruffians."
" What's the defence ?"
" I can't imagine. I don't think there is
any in reality."
"bitty be he'll prove an alibi," I jocosely sug
gested. Ile shook his head.
" They'll hardly try that," he said.. " The
facts are too clear."
After some more unimportant conversation
with him, I returned to the hotel, where I
spent the remainder of the dAy.
The next dv.y was Sunday. I awoke quite
early, and found the promise of a beautiful
summer day so good that I dressed mvselt
and sallied out for a walk. Nobody was stir
ring yet about thelintel, and the streets were
perfectly still. .1. walked 'around several
squares, and returned to the hotel, meeting
only one person on the way.
That person was standing In the doorway
of a basenient sulottn as I passed. I looked
'around casually, and saw him standing there
in Ids shirt-sleeves. Mohair was tumbledotnd
he was gaping as ir he just had awakened. I
did not discover that he was doing anything
particular there. I thought afterward that It
was quite likely that he bad been left in, a
drunken fit on the floor or on the bench in
the bar the night befinre, and that waking up
at this early hour he had taken the wrong
door in ancakiug for his lodgings, and had
gone out of doors Instead of going to bed. My
look at him was merely; a side- glance; but
that was enough to photograph his face in
my mind. It was a thin, billions face per
fectly smooth, with a long nose,much twiated
to one side, and a red scar overthe left eye.
I marked it instantly as the face of a rascal
flow I could do that I can't explain ; our
burin• as learns us to read faces as moist ones
read books, and the glance I had at that face
told me that the man was a lawless felloW.
Ills actions confirmed the opinion. Sleepy ae
he looked and acted, no sooner bad he seen
one passing than he drove back through the
door and slammed It to.
I Instantly understood him. "A. scamp,
on some ' lay' or other, and don't want to be
seen," was my thought. And I walked on
with his photograph in my mind, but ceased
tothink anything of hint or the circumstances
before I reached the hotel.
The day passed, and bright and early Mon
day morning I took my satchel and went
down to the depot. But It was to nopurposo;
' the office was closed, and a placard on the
wall informed the public that the road would
not he opened before Tuesday. .
I went back to the lintel, too much out of
sorts to enjoy my breakfast. I did not un•
derstand, till the day was so . me •,,houra older.
that I was needed more here at Car Halo than
anywhere else, juin then.
I went from the breakfast table into the
reading room, and after I bad read an hour
heard one man say to another:
"Let's go over to the court-house; they ate
trying Joe Slifer:l'. They went out;'and re
memtiering my 'title talk witl the district at
torney, my curiosity was excited, and I fol
lowed them.
When I entered the court-room tho victim
of the robbery was on the stand. lie was a
plain, simple old man, and gave his evidence
thet he was stopped about sunset mune months
before, passing from Carlisle to his home with,
One thousand dollars he had drawn that after
noon from the bank. It was a lonely spot, and
there was not a house within hall of it. Ile
was jogging leisurely along, when a light
wagon, drawaby two horses; dashed up be
side his buggy, and three of the tour men in
it jumped out, while the fourth held the reins.
They were all masked. One of them seized
his horse by the bit and stopped 'him ; the
second snatched the lines from hishauds, and
the third, climbing half In the buggy, and.
tilting him by the arms, demundedhis money.
lie said that he instantly shouted int loud as
be could, when the Indian dealt hirn a savage
blow with a slang shot, which kobcked him
senseless, and when kte came to himself again
both robbers and money were gone.
He recognized only one of the four—the
man that struck him. As he drew beck to
give the blow the mask dropped, and reveal
ed the face of Joe Slifer, the prisoner at the
bar. Ile knew it, he was positive of it, and
all the ingen-ity of the cross-examination
could not weaken or shake his evidence on
this important point.
No other 'witness was called for the "prose
cution ; none seemed necessary. The prison
er's lawyer gi t up and made a plausible state
ment to the jury that the comp] Lint was
mis
taken about recognizing Joe Slifer on the
occasion referred to. that Slifer was not there
at all, but that he wis nt Norcott, tiny miles
north of Carlisle, at iilo very hour of that
robbery, and that lie should prove it by at
least two witnesses. Ile sat down and called
out •' Caleb Wye," and everybody leaned Mr.
trim! expectantly.
The witness came forward with a slow,
limping gait, leaning on a cane. Ile was ap
parently a man of middM age, and dressed in
a .uit of sombre black, Nyith a white choker
about his neck. Ills hair was silver gray,
and as he mounted the stand, find leaning on
his cane, turned placidly to the prisoner's
counsel, he presented on appearance which
Would attract attention and respect every
where.
I. NM him, and though I did not betray my
surprise, I know that my heart gave a tre
mendous thump. For I saw the billions, thin
lace, molted nose and the scarred forehead
of the dodger whom I hail seen twenty-four
hours before in the doorway of .the saloon.
With this difference, however; the hair of
that men was almost black, while this niau's
was silver gray.
I edged my chair quietly up beside that of
the district attorney, and whi:e the man was
testifying I managed to whisper in the other's
ear without attracting the attention of the
witness.
The latter testified that he was a dealer in
readydnade clothing . at Norciiiti and one of
the firm of Way & Pleasants ; that on the day
testified to as the robbery, both lie and his
partner were at their store at Norcott, and
there was an unusual c for goods. Joe
Slifer was then dn town ; they knew him
and had often employed him to help in the
store. On this particular day they sent for
him ; he came immediately, and remained at
the store, waiting on customers, from 2 o'clock
till 8. without once leaving. Mr. Plea ants
was in court, and could testify to the same
fact P.
The first question of the district attorney
made the fellow.start and shiver.
"Are you in disguise. sir
" Wit —s‘ hat ?" stammered the man.
" Have you a silver gray wig over your dark
hair ?"
The man looked amazed and then fright
ened, but said notbing ; and before he could
recover his self possession the district atttor
ney had stepped forward and removed the
wig rev. sling a smoothly-brushed led of
dark brown hair!
What does this mean ?" he asked sternly.
Only a fancy I" was the surly answer,
vs worn that wig for years."
Have you, indeed? Did you wear it all
yesterday ?"
Yes, sir," was the confident response.
"Where ?" •
"At Norcolt, to be sure."
"All day?':
Certainly, I was there the whole day."
" When did you arrive here at Carlisle?"
"A: 7:20 this mining."
TLo ,u
lei attorney tray° me a triumphant
Hink, and when he slated to the court that he
desired this witness to be detained till the
close of the trial, the sheriff was directed to
take ehar_e of him. Mr. Caleb Wye. came
down front the stand with his wig In his hand
and took a seat by the sheriff, looking deci
dedly mole bilious than 1 had yet seen hint
appear.
I hit Carlisle the next morning, and heard
nothing more of this affair tor several weeks.
Then a letter from the district attorney, thank
ing me for the assistance I had rendered hint,
conveyed more details.
Mr. Pleasamts was now loudly called for by
the defense; but no one came forward. The
unexpected reception which the last witness
had met probably chilled the ar for of his
confederate, and he wisely chose to keep in
the background. This, then, was all of the
defense, and my evidence at onee blew it to
the winds. I looked directly at Mr. Wye
(sit• called). u hen I %vita telling the jury when,
where, and under what circumstances I had
se. n him the previi.us day, and I saw' him
tremble like an aspen leaf. The Jury convict
ed the prisoner without leaving their sous,
and the witness was locked up for further
consideration.
"The witness, Wye," he wrote, "whose
real name is Nicholas Bray, was indicted for
perjury. A very slight investigation showed
me that we could prove that he ha I no right
to the name of Wye; that neither he nor any
man by the name of Pleasants eve r kept a
store In Noreott, and neither of them were
known thereat all. This, With your evidence,
would have been sufficient to convict him ;
mind understanding It as well as anybody, he
concludrd to save trout de, and plead guilty.
So lie and Slifer are both in the penitentiary,
and will stay there for a term of yeam."

Bitting on agonizing seats—which nonde
script Institution the circus provides for its
patrons—in an uncongenial atmosphere of
orange peel and sawdust, and AA it h all the
splendor, the glitter and the tinsel before one,
who can realise what horse opera is behind
the scenes? Few indeed; and yet there are
hundreds who crave a knowledge of these
mysteries, and there apparently is no reason
why they should not be gratified. At least
so thought a reporter of the Chicago Times,
who attended the circus several days' with
the olfject of enlightening the politic mind on
the subject. ills greatest difficulty was in
deciding of what particular member to make
inqablos. The ring master at first seemed to
be the right man, on account of his superior
authority; hut when ho was foolel by the
clown, who was evidently an educated
overflowing with sparkling wit and
brilliant sentiments of a high order, a change
in favor of the latter took place. After wit
nessing the performance of the learned mules,
It was somewhat doubtful whether it would
not be best to turn to Went for information,
but the question was finally decided in favor
of the clown. Me was accordingly inter
viewed.
The scene of the Interview was the
dressing•roum, which was a small tent, in the
rear of the large one. In reaching it, a pas.

and several groups of hostlers and assistants.

one season. Having wrapped an old cont
about his gaudy ring habiliments; and seated
himself on his clothes chest, the clown lit his
pipe and expressed a willingness to impart
such ihtornuttion as he possess° I . Through
the paint and powder which disfigured the
old fellow's countenance, a very intelligent
expression was visible, while his observations
wen: as matter of fact as could be expected
from any deacon of a well regulated church.
Ile had been over 30 years in the circus busi
ness, the most of which time he had served
in his present capacity.
=I
Assuming a great deal,he said: "Of course you
know tlo• origin of circus performances. They
took rise in the Olympic games, and were sub.
tequently brought to perfection by the
lio
mans, who took great delight in exhibitions of
equestriunship, s•rength end agility. The flist
legitimate' circus which was introduced in
America wairmannged by Pippin, in 1810, or
thereabout. Previous to that, however, there
had been small travelling affairs, called mom
mils, which were imported from Spain, as the
name implies." Mace that day the circus bus.
Incas had gradually enlarged to Its present di
mensions. At the same time new features
have been introduced,while many were becom•
ing obsolete. •
I=
There are at present 40 traveling circuses In
the United Slates, involving a capital of sever
al millions,and affording employment to several
thousand people. Of these people, nearly all
the regular performers, including riders, ncro•
bats, athletes, riders and tumblers, serve a reg
ular apprenticeship at the business se was for
merly the custom in other trades, although it is
necessiary for the would be performer to
commence much earlier in hisprofession. The
training of a child for an athlete begins fre
quently before it would seem that his young
muscles could posstbly bear the strain. '1 here
are few mothers who would be %%Ming to have
their children submitted to a systematic gym
nastic education at the age of three years. The
consequence is that many circus men were
adopted in their infancy for this purpose, and
it does not appear that the severe training often
injures their constitution, conducted, as it . Is,
a ith the greatest caution and skill. Anybody
who has attended the circus frequently has o'
sere. d that the same individual performs in
several d•fferent capacities, a hich would ,ap
pear to require a different system of tntining.
This is penectly true, as en accomplished per
former, with can command a good salary,
must be thoroughly acquainted with all the
branches of the business.

prietors. Each department tinder lit m has its

j finales, who are as.igned to particular duties,
so that when called upon eve , y man falls at

I=
Nobody with a well regulated mind, who
has artived at the years of maturity and is at
all familiar with the facts, will take life in a
travelling circus to be an easy one Any one
who do, s so take it is apt to be undeceived be
fore long, unless his Idea of ease is very differ
ent from the commonly arc Wed meaning. As
a chiwn pathetically and forcibly .temarked in
this connection, "The man who will join a cir
cus for fun will go to 11-1 fur pastime." The
actual performing of the circus man forms the
least part of his labor ; the real work being lu
the incessant treveling and want of proper
rest.
LAVING OUT THEIU. CANITAIONS
Travelingcompanies lay out their camptilans
with all the care that an army takes in prepay- .
ing for a long march. The route and all the
details are arranged before the start, advan
tage being taken of every opp.ntunity which
the character of the country affords. Thus,
the hein of Summer frequently finds the circus
as far north as it is practicable to go, while as
Winter approaches it gradually works its way
into a warmer climate. The minutest details
which would be emir. ly overlooked by an
inexperienced person, are arranged with the
utmost precision. An agent who has traveled
over the proposed route before the start makes
arrangements with the town authorities for
the privilege f axhituting ; examines the
roads•; and calculates each lay's journey frotn
the starting point to the locality where the
men will be dismissed, and the animal• go in
to Winter quarters. Even the arrangements
for feeding and w tiering the stock are made
with wonderful nicety. The tour of a circus
during six months, extending over thousands
of milts is sometimes made w ithouta little de
viation from the plan laid out before the start.
The subsistence of the vast force IS a matter
of no little importance. The wants of the hu
man intimate might possibly be neglected oc
casionally In case of extreme necessity, but
the brute force must be attended to with un
failing regularity. In some country districts,
where the mana_mment depend for patronage
on the larniers' families for miles around,
stores have to be coil' clod in advance, and
temporary provision made for the wants of the
company. lu all small towns the arrival of a,
chcus'is a G slsend to all the country mer
chants who tell more stock in one day, at ouch
times, titan In weeks of ordinary trade. The
usual distance, between. slopping-plaC• s is
about 20 miles, although It is frequently much
greater, sometlume as far as GO miles. This
distance, however, Is too great as the extra
work imposed upon time stock unfits them
for the performance, and is always avoided if
possible.
ANIUVINO AND DEPARTINO
'laving arrived at the appointed place, the
baggage-wagons are hauled Into position, the
baggage-men and canvae•nten unpack, !Aida
tent, make the ring. iind makeali the arrange
menta liar the alternnon perforniance, while
the rest of the company, with the show wit-
gone, triumphal cars nod chalices, make a
grand procession thicangh - the town. Every..
thing being completed, a h tsty meal is dis
patched, and the afternoon 'performance be
gins. The interval between the afternoon
and evening shows aftirds oportunity for
another meal. The evening performance con
cluding about . 10 o'clock, all hands turn to nt
the work of demolition. In the first place,
the musicians pack up their instruments and
leave for the next station. The seats go next
being unbolted and stowed away in Wagons
ready hacked up to receive them, the lamps
come down on the run, and aro carCd for by
the ;super person, torches being lit when the
moon is not handy, and then the great canvas
falls. Everything, as has been stated, pro
ceets with system and precision. No drum
or fife gives the signal, as on a man-of-war,
yet the drill of a circus company is so perfect
that the whole paraphernalia of the grand
equestrian establishment is in the wagons, and
on the road, inn comparatively shorter time,
and with ns perfect system, ns the top-gallant
and royal yards are set down on board ship.
The last wagon on the road in forty minutes
after the clown has made his last speech, long
before the gaping countrymen have gotten
the dazzle out cf their eyes, nr ceased to gig
gle at the witty remarks of the professional
jester.
I=
Before starting, however, • each Individual
has an opportunity to eat what is called break
fast. Ile then gets on tho most convenient
wagon, generally knowing by experience the
most comf triable loads for sleeping purposes,
as the only time which the circus man gets
forlndulging In the balmy Is while the caravan
Is on the move. If the roads chance to .be
muddy or hilly, the pt./limners are nilltnlcd
little exerese in helping the wagons along to
