MAGAZZINO ELI QUALITÀ 9 A Detective's
Reminiscence
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1915. by the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate.
When i retired from detective work
after an experience of sixteen years
. e public press and my friends were
sased to say that I had done excel
it service. On the whole, this praise
is deserved, but at the same time.
, one case at least. 1 had shown a
ptupidity worthy of tbe greenest pa
Arelman on London's police force, i
fed been at Scotland Yard for three
years when I removed my family to
yfeeen street It was to an apartment
feuse, and w© took the second floor.
the floor above were a married
feople named Hadan. Tbe man, : • i
feme to understand, was a manufac
turing jeweler in a small way. The
feadans lived very quietly and made
W display, and the wife kept very
■such to herself. Not as a detective,
felt aa an occupant I learned that the
lmsband was home only two nights
m week.
At about the time of my removal I
.Was set to watch in a general way a
fertain dealer in bric-a-brac named
fennders. His shop was a good three
feiles from Queen street He dealt in
Ml manner of art goods, secondhand,
fed it had been pretty well established
•hat he bought goods without asking
my questions. In watching him 1 as
mined another identity and became a
customer. We came to be on quite
iriendly terms, and 1 flattered myself
•hat he bad not tbe slightest suspicion
fe tbe part i was playing. At one
feme and another I was the means of
enabling a number of householders to
•ecover stolen goods Saunders baa
feught. but the man always evaded
fbo law. I got to know that be lived
fe Jane street, only a few blocks away,
where be had a wife and one child.
€>ne of our men occupied a room in
the same house, and in a casual way
fe had learned that Saunders was
feme only two nights a week. He
came and went as did my neighbor
Hadan
A year after I began watching the
kric-a-brae shop there were complaints
made about a certain merchant tailor
named Davison. He was making suits
to order so cheap that other tailors
declared the goods must be stolen. As
a matter of fact, several bolts of cloth
stolen from a tailor in a town fifty
miles away were found in his shop,
but he proved himself clear of the law
by a narrow margin. I became a cus
tomer of his, as I had been of Saun
ders. There were times wheu we had
a glass of ale and a pipe together, and
from the very outset 1 used my best ef
forts to get on to bis little game. He
continued to make bults to order far
eheajKT than his rival, but though his
•hop was searched again and again no
more suspicious goods were found
Davison was full of talk and seemed
to be without suspicion, but I got no
information from him to help my case
1 early ascertained that he lived in
Montgomery place and had a wife and
two children. By tbe merest aecideni
3 further learned that Mr. Davison
■was at home only three nights a week
Now. then, for six years I knew these
three men. and two of them were un
der espionage. I talked with ate
with them, drank with them and never
Imbibed the faintest td?a that I was
tbe biggest fool In the world. One day
a man who was In a machine shop not
far from detective headquarters was
killed by accident. I happened to be
almost the first one on hand. I recog
nized him at once as the tailor, and the
fedy was taken home. While doing
ills work the undertaker found that
the black hair and mustache and wart
that he wore were all false. This was
a revelation even to the wife. The
affair was published in the papers, and
Is less than two days it was found that
Hadan. Saunders and Davison were
©ne and the same man. He had pad
ded his body to Increase his size and
apparent weight, and a false tooth,
whiskers, mustache and a wart had
done the rest. You will say I ought to
have detected the cheat by the voice.
In an ordinary case, yes. but this man
bad made a study of disguising his
voice.
You will say that a good detective
©ught to penetrate such shallow dis
guises as false whiskers. In answer to
that let me say that whiskers or mus
tache can be made to look so genuine j
that no living man can detect the
fheaL The wart was a new dodge and
©ne J vvaa not up to. It was so well!
•one \that I had seen the man pick it
with a pin and cringe a tittle as he did
it i should have felt bad enough at
bein§ fooled even had there been no (
in it but there was a case. The,
sf versmitb was a "fence" for thieves,
the bric-a-brac man was another, and
the tailor was a third. He was mar
ried to three different women: he lived
in three different prts of the city; he
carried on three occupations; he rep
resented three different men. All this
he did successfully for six or seveu
years and but for the fatal accident
might have gone on for years more.
During his career he had made a for
ttiue. and never a person had suspect
ed the disguises. It seems as if a wife
ahould have detected them, but the
three did not. or at least so claimed
Yes, 1 was made a fool of, but fortu
nately i was the only one who knew
ft and I may give the fact away now
without my identity being suspected.
Tt would have added more glory to my
record to have caught up the sly ras
cai. but now and then the sharpest of
©or profession are outwitted, and if I
made a stupid blunder in the one case
I have offset it a dozen times over is
making successes of others.

ALABAMA OFF FOR ROADS

Battleship Will Force Respect For
Neutrality When Eitel Leaves.
Washington, March 29. —It was an
nounced at the navy department that
, Rear Admiral James Helm, command
ing the Atlantic reserve fleet at Phila
delphia, was on board the battleship
Alabama when she started today tc
begin patrol duty in Hampton Roads j
[ in connection with the imminent de
j parture of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
{ The Alabama's instruction! are to pre
vent any violation of the neutrality i
of the United States government in
connection with the Eitel.
While officials are still of the opin
ion that the German cruiser wil,
•ventually interne rather than face
British cruisers waiting for her out
aide the Virginia capes every precau
tion is bc'Ag taken as if it were a
certainty that the Eitei will venture
out It is believed also that neither
German vessel nor the British war- I
•hips will fail to observe all the neu- j
trality of the United States, but it was [
felt that precautionary measures
ahould be adopted to care for any con- ]
ttngency.
When the time allowed the Eitel
baa expired the vessel must leave
Newport News and the jurisdiction of j
* the United States within twenty-four
feora or else interne for the war.

KiLLED IN BATTLE.
Methods of Different Nations For Iden
tifying the Dead.
When a German soldier falls in bat
tle he is identified by a little metal
disk which lie carries. This disk bears
a number, and this number is tele
graphed to Berlin. There the soldier's
name is determined. This system ia
as effective as everything ele connect
ed with the German army.
The British use an aluminium disk
that contains, besides marks of identi
fication, the soldier's church affiliation
The Japanese system is similar, each
j soldier wearing three disks, one around
I his neck, another on his belt and the
third in his boot. The Russians wear
a numbered badge.
The UnPed States army uses a cloth
tab woven Into the shoulder strap of
the tunic. The French use identifica
tion cards stitched inside the tunic.
The French once made use of metal
identification badges, but these proved
an irresistible attraction to the sav
ages whom the French faced in Afri
ca, so the cards were substituted.
Austria still uses a badge of gun metal
I in the form of a locket with parchment
! leaves inside.
Turkey has no identification badges
; for her soldiers. Edhem Pasha once
; explained this omission as follows: "A
dead man is of no use to the sultan,
j Why, therefore, trouble with him?"—

MOVING PICTURES IN JAPAN.
Are Doffed at the Door, and
Spectators Sit on the Floor.
Many of the motion picture theaters
In Japan, particularly in Tokyo, where
there are over 100, are quite as elesrant
aa some to be found in any America"
city. I T ou can secure admission for as
low as 5 cents up to as high as 50
cents. In the cheaper portions of most
theaters the natives sit crosslegged on
the floor in characteristic Japanese
fashion. They remove their shoes bV
fore entering, and an attendant takes
charge of these.
Both American and European pic
tures are shown, but the principal at
traction Ls a long Japanese play, which
is presentod ia a very unique fashion.
In fact, it may l>e said that the Japa
nese have real talking pictures. The
film is produced in the same manner
as a stage play, with every portion o f
dialogue spoken.
When the picture is projected an ac
tor and actress stand on each side of
the screen and repeat the dialogue in
fall view of the spectators. The two
reciters share the parts played by the
different characters. As their spoken
words keep strict time with the lip
movements of the silent artists, the r<*
suit, as may be Imagined, is very effec
tiva.—Popular Electricity.

"She's a sensible girl," said the first
traveling man.
"You bet she is," said the second.
"Last night when I took her to dinner
before ordering she asked me if I was
going to pay the check myself or work
it into the expense account"—Detroit

A BAIL
JUMPER
By DONALD CHAMBERUN
Horace Mansfield, attorney-at-law,
was one night preparing for bed when
he received a message summoning him
to police headquarters to a client who
was waiting for him to advise and as
sist him In obtaining ball. Mansfield
went to the police office, where he found
a muu about twenty five years eld and
apparently a gentleman. Lawyer and
client were permitted to talk together
apart froin the others, and the client
•aid:
"My name—that given at the desk—
la Lambert. William Lambert. 1 am
charged with entering a gentleman's
residence for the purpose of stealing.
Being caught in the act. I was arrest
ed. I desire that you secure my liberty
on the smallest possible ainouut of
ball. It must be not more than &MX)O.
for that is ail I can raise."
"But surely." replied the lawyer,
"you are not guilty of the charge?"
"Whether I am or not, if the case
comes to trial I shall plead guilty."
Mansfield looked at his client in sur
prise. He would have as soon believed
himself guilty of pilfering as the yuuug
man before him.
"Any defense would do in your case,"
he said. "No Juror would believe you
to be a thief. What is the value of the
articles you are accused of stealing?"
"A bracelet, a brooch and a lady'a
watch. I doubt If they are worth al
together $lOO. 1 shall not make a de
fense."
"How would you like me to get you
off ou a technicality?"
"Your services in any such line will
not be required. 1 shall forfeit my
bail."
"Forfeit your bail!"
"That is my Intention."
Mansfield succeeded in getting the
bail bond made $2,000. and his client
produced the funds himself. Then he
paid his attorney's fee and went forth
a free man. When called for trial he
did not appear, and his bail was for
feited. Au elderly gentleman appear
ed to testify against him. and Mans
field. who was present as the accused's
counsel, asked him something about
the case. The only information he re
ceived was that the thief had effected
an entrance to the old gentleman's
dwelling by climbing a lattice near a
second story bedroom window. The
gentleman said he was not surprised
that the bail had been forfeited, for
the thief was evidently well connected,
and the money for his bail had doubt
less been furnished by bis family.
Ten years passed. One day Horace
Mansfield was at work in bis office
when a middle aged man entered and
asked for a private interview. When
the two wero alone together the man
said:
"Y'ou don't remember me."
"I confess that I cannot place you,
though there Is something aliout you
that leads mo to think I have seen you
before "
"I)o you recall a client of yours
named William Lambert, who jumped
his bail?"
"I do."
"I am that man. but my name is not
Lambert. 1 am about to be married
and before the ceremony is performed
I wish to know if there are any records
Identifying me with Lambert that can
be eradicated."
The lawyer Informed the gentleman
there was nothing worth removing. If
recognized as Lambert he might be
arrested and tried, but ten years had
so changed him that he would likely
not be recognized.
"There is now," replied the stranger,
"no one living to appear against me."
"In that case you run no risk what
ever."
"I am to marry a widow who has in
herited some property from ber late
husband. There are some papers to be
drawn before the wedding, and 1 should
like to have you draw them. Can you
conveniently call at her house?"
"1 can."
The gentleman threw a card on a ta
ble bearing the name of Mrs. Elizabett
Tracy with her address.
The next day Mansfield went to tb<
address given and was received by a
lady under thirty years of age and
beautiful. Having executed the papers
he was about to withdraw when Mrs.
Tracy said to him:
"Both myself and my fiance deem it
best that you should receive an ex
planation of what must seem to you to
be a mystery. When 1 was nineteen I
left home on a visit While away I
met the man I am to marry tomorrow.
An attachment sprang up between us,
and he begged me to engage himself
to me.
"I had been brought up from a child
to understand that when I married my
husband mast be wealthy. I told Ed
gar—Edgar Stanfield is his name—that
I knew my father would not consent
to my marriage with him and he must
give me up. He seemed very much
broken down by this, and after my re
turn I feared that he would do some
thing rash. A match bad already been
made for me with Mr. Tracy, who was
then more than forty years old. Edgar
came to this city the night before I
was married and. in the hope of per
suading me to eiope with him, climbed
a lattice under my window and ob
tained access to my room. My father
came to the room while he was there.
1 slipped into an adjoining room, and
Edgar, to save rae from the conse
quences of his rash act. seized certain
articles of Jewelry from my dressing
ease. Too know the rest*
