FOUR BITES OF A CHERRY.

By George Folsom.

How a Genius Collected $40,000 At the Rate of SIO,OOO a ( lip ' —and Kept IL

Copyright, The Frank A. Munsey Co. o <■ It is probable, if the wheelman was an accomplice, that the man in gray was the principal. He might have had a second accomplice who handed him a gray coat, and the cracker plan might have been arranged to divert the attention of the police to a man who could readily account for his movements, while the only person present when the alarm was given—the man in gray—could slip off during the excitement attending the short detention of the cyclist. Beyond describing his assailant’s personal appearance and the robbery, Mr. Cossett has given few particulars of what happened during the ten minutes the stranger was in the room with him. He asserts that their talk, previous to the assault, would throw no light on the robbery. When closely pressed, he said that he was sure he bad never seen the man before, and he was just as positive that the thief was not a personal enemy. He volunteered the information that he had enemies, but he did not think any of them would assault and rob him. The police have a pear-shaped gag, two boxes of crackers and a soft hat with no marking which will identify either the wearer or the maker. There is a good chance that the wheelman will be found, but only a .very slight clue as to the Identity of the mysterious man in gray. “Ah,” said Mr. Fenton, when he had finished this interesting, if somewhat familiar story, “and the wheelman was an accomplice? And the crackers? How commonplace, yet how important. What am I to do in this peculiar case? And the ethics of my profession—but what are the ethics of my most noble profession?” and he threw up his hands, as he spoke, in serio-comic despair.

Simon Cossett, having read the more or less conflicting accounts of his robbery in three morning papers, was seated at his desk, looking intently at a small portrait of a young and pretty girl. This portrait was in the left-hand upper corner of one-half of a postal card, the right edge of which showed that the l>iece had been roughly torn from the missing half. The address side showed the government stamp uncancelled, but there was no evidence of writing on either side. “How did my thieving visitor come by Nellie Cossett's picture?” muttered the financier, “it must have been dropped by him, for I have never had one of these cards here.” While he was pondering over this matter, Mr. Thomas Field was announced. Mr. Field was a private inquiry man who attended to various out-of-town matters for Mr. Cossett. “You have read all about, the robbery, I presume?” said Mr. Cossett Then, without waiting for a reply, he went on, “I want you to go up to Malden, where the Cossetts live, by the earliest train you can get The place is only fifty miles from here and you can reach it before noon. You know the elder Cossetts, for you must have seen them while that suit was on. Here," showing him the torn card, “is Miss Nellie, the third Cossett I found this on the steps when I ran out with William last night and I think it was dropped by the thief.

“I don’t suspect this young lady of being concerned in the robbery, or the other Cossetts for that matter, but I want you to find out if any of the three have any friend who would be likely to have Miss Nellie’s picture about him when he goes out thieving. The police haven’t seen this, nor will they until I know more about how it came here. They can work on their own lines, meantime, and if I find out anything I maj’ help them along later. “Remember that you are doing Ahis for me only, and don’t go to the Cossetts for information under any circumstances. You know your business, and in a small town like Malden you ought to be able to find out everything that concerns a family related to a man whose name will be in every paper brought into their homes this morning.” Mr. Field, being a man of few words, went away almost immediately. In the evening he returned to report what he had discovered. The Cossetts, he said were considered good neighbors by all their townsmen. They had few visitors from other towns, but for the last three months had been visited once a week by a young man from New York. _ ... . . He was said to be a distant relative,

a»d was very attentive to Miss Nellie Cossett The simple village folk con-, sidered the pair sweethearts. The young man, in the hearing of some of the most important men of Malden, once or twice made rather bitter remarks about Mr. Simon Cossett and his manipulation of the Coqsett estate. This partisan of the country Cossetts, Field has discovered, was a man of some private means. He dabbled in Wall street, but beyond that the people of Malden knew nothing of him. “What is his name?” said Mr. Cossett, after listening, Without comment, to the report “Henry Linden,” replied Field. “I could not get his home or business address in Malden, and I cannot find him in the city directory." “Linden!” cried Cossett, “He is a distant relative of Nellie’s mother, who died five years ago. I saw that boy once when he was small. What sort of a Jooking man do they say he is ?” “Tall and well set,” replied Field, “with dark hair, smooth, face. and a city style of dressing. He generally wears a gray suit up there.” “Oh! Does he?” cried Mr. Cossett, loudly, springing to his feet. But he did not say more. In a moment he grew calm, and telling Field that he would have a new commission for him in a day or two he dismissed him. “I wonder,” said the financier to himself, when Field had gone, “if the gray stranger was the man who dropped the photo? If he did, he either dropped it when running down my steps, or he was passing the house when the thief ran out. It is odd that I didn’t look for that gray man after the wheelman proved to be the wrong person. I might have asked him if he saw any one dash down the steps and get away. “Instead of that, I forgot all about him until it was too late. I must certainly find out Mr. Linden. But I will give the police a chance to work out their clues first. Nellie’s young man is not likely to run away, under present circumstances.” BITE TWO. A Confidence Game. General Alden Martial, the recently appointed Commissioner of Police —a graduate from the regular army—was seated at his desk reading a second day account of the Cossett robbery while waiting for Captain Chesley, the chief of detectives. It was the hour for Chesley’s verbal report on affairs connected with his branch of the service. “Well, captain,” said the commissioner jovially, when his subordinate came in, “I see that the newspaper sleuths have not found the Cossett robber. What have you discovered? Which one of the professional class do you intend to gather in? “Mr. Commissioner,” cried the captain, with a hearty laugh, “I know you don’t think so badly of my experience as that. There is no professional mixed up in this case and that makes it harder for us. No one but an amateur would work with an outside man that was almost sure to be brought back. “Professionals wouldn’t think it safe. But the beginner thinks all the danger is over when he gets away. Maybe this one don’t, for he must know by this time that we want the wheelman. Everybody knows that now. It was amateur work, Mr. Commissioner, and I know you think it

was, tod.” ~ - ~— “I am pretty btire of it,” said Commissioner Martial. “But how about the peculiar gag the man used? You found the maker, of course?” “We found him quickly, for he came up here as soon as he read the evening papers. He didn’t happen to see the early account He is a respectable mechanic in Grand street, and he wants to keep his name out of the papers. He don’t know anything that we can use. He describes a man just like the one who stole the money, so that don’t put us ahead any. The mechanic has never been mixed up in anything else, so we are just keeping his place in sight. We haven’t a line on the thief’s box of crackers. There are thousands of such boxer; sold every day.” “Mr. Cossett is about fifty years of age, a widower with no family, and he has only one servant, Jones, who sleeps in the house,” said the commissioner, looking over his notes on the case. “Now, is it possible that he knows more than he has told?” “I don’t know why you ask that,” returned Captain Chesley, “unless you have taken up a theory I haven’t msntioned to you yet." \ “His volunteer statement that he had enemies, you mean?” said the commissioner, as he took two cigars from hie vest pocket, and passed one over to the chief of detectives. “Well, how do yop construe that remark?” “I have given it a great deal of thought," replied Chesley, “but I will first go into something else that leads me up to that You will remember that what Mr. Cossett told about a man in gray near the house was not told until after the wheelman’s case was looked over.

"By that time the gray man had gone, and our men had no chance to afik him what he had seen. If a man came out of that house and got out Of sight he must have come out on the run. Then the man in gray'must have seen him. The newspapers intimate that the gray man was perhaps in the affair. • Now, after telling of the gray man, Mr. Cossett speaks of hip enemies and says he don’t suspect any of them. “Down in the financial district he stands very well. We can’t find any enemies of his tfiere. Then who are his enemies? Thdre might be a dozen but we know of two people who mpst be counted enemies. These two are the older Cossetts up the State. “The third Cossett is a young girl, and she, it turns out, used to be a great favorite of Simon Cossett We don’t know yet how they stand at present, but she was one* of the heirs to the estate, and, as Simon Cossett kept all of that, Miss Nellie Cossett may feel as bitter as her aunt and uncle.

“Taking the country folks as sure enemies of his, then, I sent McGill up to look into their movements the night of the robbery. He is outside, and I will have him come in and tell his story.” Chesley then opened the door and called, “McGill!” In response to the call a young man walked into the office and respectfully saluted the commissioner. , “Well, your story, McGill,” said Captain Chesley, after General Martial had asked the young man to sit down “Well, sir,” began McGill, addressing the commissioner, “I went up to Malden yesterday morning and I found the town full of the robbery. It was not hard to find out that none of the Cossetts had been away from home the night before, for everybody in the place made sure of that before I came. “Several of them had trooped over to the Cossetts’\to talk over the great news, and the lawsuit trouble was gone over again all the time I was there. Of course, the people didn’t believe that their Mr. C/Sssett would rob the other one, but just the same they made sure he was home, the night before. “Pretty soon I discovered that an agency man named Field was around town asking questions. I know him by sight, but I don’t think he knows me. I was just being told that the Cossetts had a distant relative, a young man about thirty, named Henry Linden, who came up once a week to see the young lady, when I spotted this private detective, looking around. I had meant to go down on an early; train, but I thought I would stay a while and see what I could find out about Field’s business. “Pretty soon 1 missed him, and after inquiring a little I discovered that he hgd gone back to the city. I went up t& a crowd in front of the biggest store in town after that, for there wasn’t another train for two hours.

“Suddenly one of the men says, ‘Here he comes.’ ‘Who?’ I said. ‘Why, Henry Linden, cousin of the Cossetts,’ said the man. I looked down toward the station and saw a good big fellow coming along. He was dressed in gray clothes and a soft gray hat. Then I thought of the man spoken of in the papers. If none of the Cossetts had been in New York the night before, this relative might 'have been. “He came as near to the description of the man in front of the house as any mm could expect, and I thought it was good business to have some one else see him, so I found out easily that he left on the second morning train every lime he came to the village to stay overnight, and he goes up once a week. “So I came down and reported to the captain. He got the policeman who arrested the bicycle rider to go with me to the station in plain clothes. We waited for the Malden train, and when Mr. Linden got out I showed him to the officer and he said that as near as he could renumber the man looked very much like the one who chased up the street after the wheelman and then walked back to the house with the crowd. I got another man we had to follow Mr. Linden down-town, and this man located his office on Wall Street” General Martial frowned for. a moment. He had not been at the head of the force long enough to feel fully satisfied with the pratice of “shadowing” a man of Linden’s kind on such meager evidence. “There doesn’t seem to be reasonable grounds for hope there,” he said, finally. ‘“Does Mr. Simon Cossett know this man? How long has he been visiting Malden F’ “Three months,” replied McGill. “The Cossett suit was tried five months ago,” said the commissioner, looking at his notes again, “and none but the three Cossetts of Malden were concerned.” “I have a man out now to see Mr. Simon Cossett,” said Captain Chesley, “and we will soon know whether Linden is known to him.*” While waiting for this report the three men went over various aspects of the case. When the detail man came in he reported z that Mr. Cossett

did not know Linden at all except by hearsay, and he seemed to be angry at the mention of the name. Thte financier had said that he thought the robbery was done by a professional, and he was just as sure as ever that no personal enemy was at the bottom of the matter. He thought that the police had betjer keep his relatives out of it until they had looked up all the big operators who were known to them. He understood that every professional had his own way of working robberies, and he thought Captain Chesley ought to be able to get some clue to the man who got his mbney. “That’s the way it goes,” cried Ches ley; “they all think we can go out with a police dragnet and catch the man wanted at onde. Any professional will suit Mr. Cossett. This gentleman, to my mind, was too eager to speak of his enemies to begin with, and now he is too eager to keep us away from them to end with. I think he is hiding something.’* “Shall I keep track of Mr. Linden?” said McGill, after the detail man had been dismissed. (To be continued.)

Prof. W. H. Sanders will arrive here today ready for the institute next week, at which he is to be one of the instructors. The match factory building was compelled to shut down today on account of having neither cement or lumber. Delayed shipments were responsible. The tile factory had to shut down on the same account. A car load was received by them today. A nfimber of changes have been made in the mail service by reason of the discontinuance of the ChicagoCincinnati service and about all the Rensselaer clerks are affected, and all but Charley Grow will suffer a reduction in salary. Mr. Grow, as mentioned a day or two ago, retains his position as clerk in charge and will continue to receive a salary of $1,500 per year. J. B. Martindale and Frank Leek, who have been receiving $1,300, will be reduced to $l,lOO, but each will be made clerks in charge, running out of Chicago on No. 33, the “Hoosier Limited,” and will return as helpers ori another train. Mr. Martindale will make his first trip on the new train Sunday. Fred Chapman will run on Nos<3s and 36 and will get a cut of SIOO, and for the present, Lem Hammer ton is on a “round robin,” running from Indianapolis to Chicago on the Big Four, and from Chicago to Indianapolis on the Monon. This is regarded as a very unsatisfactory run, particularly as it keeps the clerk away from home so much. Charles Mann will continue on Nos. 37 and 38, which allows him. to be home every other night. His salary is also $l,lOO. Those who were reduced in salary will for the most part have more tiine off, having 8 days off and 6 days on, but all would sooner work the extra time and have the salary left as it was.

It is reported from Logansport that the shop and road men of the Panhandle who were dismissed during the summer are being called back to work and that the company is anxious to obtain additional men. Pittsburg reports are to the effect that the Pennsylvania is employing as many men as it can obtain. ’ ' 4 Friends of former Deputy Postmaster Ed Dennis, of Crawfordsville, who resigned his position following his suspension and the discovery that there was a shortage in his accounts, will make a vigorous effort to prevent prosecution. The shortage was made good to the United States government by Postmaster Rankin C. Walkup, who gave the inspector who discovered the shortage his personal and certified check to cover it.

Life Saved at Death’s Boor. “I never felt so near my grave," writes W. R. Patterson, of Wellington, Tex., “as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 109 pounds, in spite of doctor’s treatment for two years. My father, mother and two sisters died of consumption, and that I am alive today is due solely to Dr. King’s New Discovery, which completely cured me. Now I weight 187 pounds and have been well and strong for years.” Quick, safe, sure, it’s the best remedy on earth for coughs, colds, lagrippe, asthma, croup, and all throat and lung troubles. 50c and >I.OO.
