"Where does he Urr has a room at at M Staanton place: Xo. 12, Ibeliere." I chose Staunton place upon the inspiration of the atoment because it was a long distance front where we lived and consisted of only two short block, so I was quite sore Mabel would never And or penetrate moan. To mr great mJief she did aot pursue her 'iavastigations farther, but threw me into consternation at the table next day br looking at me wistfully a "d sayingt "Frank, i am quite curious about your friend, Mr. Bancroft. Does he look like yoar "Xo," I said, giring my imagination rein, he is shorter and of ligat eompkttdoa' "Doss he wear a hoard?' Yb. a full beard, cropped close. M "What color are kit era?' Some foul tend prompted me to say he was cross-eyed, and that one organ was blue and one gray. 'How Terr singular." said Mate? with growing interest. "I should like to see htm. Tell me about this real estate scheme." I felt that if I hesitated I was lost, and. laying down my knife and fork, I enter into a detailed account of a etiee of fictitious investmeate contemplated by Bancroft and myself. I did. aot oririnal!y intend to go so deep, but her questions drew me out, and each ucoeeire step wa necCiSffary for preserratiott. As I walked oat of the front gate I felt like a convicted feloa. However, the mythical Bancroft was a convenient personage, and I concluded that, now that I had invented him and put mr foot in it, so to speak. I might as welf use him to all possible advantage. Consequently Bancroft was pleaded night after 'night with great success, although the continued questioning of my wife involved me in a tissue of falsehood so monstrous taat I was afraid to contemplate it. Bancroft became a piece of exquisite character painting. As the exigencies of the case demanded I endows him with tastes, habits, prejudices aad some few prtneiplos. Ail the detail of his constitution were giren the night he was sick and I had to accompany him te bis room and stay an til two 'clockThen it was that Mabel learned he was subject to sadden and violent cramps, episepuc it, aad partial paralysis. The aight he took me to a poor widow's garret and rescued her from the verge of starvation Mabel wept over Ms goodness of heart, but made onve suspicions iuoairies as to the widow's personal appearance. Xext night she abused him savagely because he got drank and I had to stay witk him and see. as a friend, that he did not get iate trouble. About this time I became alarmed lest she should visit his sauposcd place of bueiaaae to read htm a lecture npon hie habil: aad toR her be had lek Keed's aod gone to an up-town store. This aeoesrttated going iato all the details as to why he left, which I gave shamelewdv. My conscience was ia such a condition by that time that I was Iom troubled over my fabrication of complicated lies than I was that I should crocM myself in some of them. How iatrkate, bow manifold and malttpKed they were can be imagined when I say that at the end of two years Mabel w& still aasnspicious. She had. however, conceived a violent dislike, growing into aa utter abhorrence, of the man. This wa eorend-rsd bv- a peculiar tarn which the actio happened to takeOne night the irst pe nettings of dawa were showing in tae skies when I returned home. I had aot intended to stay so late. I renliaed with sudden and kamtliatiag force that I was a brute to leave a young girl alone, unprotected, anxious and afraid through the mug night. I felt ashamed, mortified, aad above all alarmed, for I was welt aware that a scene awaked me. Wkh beating heart I entered me house. Mabel was ia bed aad turned her head sHghihr without looking at me or peaki. I fek intuitively that she was crying. At that instant any plan, any He, no matter how black, that would hare relieved the poor girl's distress would hare seemed noble to me, So k was wkh no pang of conscience mat I sank into a chair and exclaimed i a hollow voice: "O. Mabel, if you had seen what I hare seen yo would be skk at heart." "What was it, Frank?' she asked wkh instant curiosity, ailing up in bed. Thfcwas the eAVct I had calculated upon, aad for a moment I said nothing, as if too modi overcome to spjak. Then m a low tone I continued: "Bancroft b t jail!" O. Frank!" she cried, her eves waduexly dilating: "what has he done?" Again I was overcome wkh emotion; 1 had to hare time to think. "Yo know how Bancroft k when he h drinking.1 I said iaally. "Yes," she replied, eagerly, very quarrelsome.' "Bxactlr. Welt we were pUying a j game of billiards last nigh.

From that moment, bowerer, ant regarded Bancroft aa my bad angel, and hated him wkh all the eocdialityof indignant wamaahood. Meaatfme Bancroft had oommenead te kanat me. From being a naturally frank and open disposition. I became pretty naturally vigilant and alert, fearful each instant that X would moody, morose. My nerve, quivering nader the tension, were giving way. l looKeu scare an gauty. Ine very nam of Bancroft was hatefnl to me. aad when mv wife harped upon him I fek that I should go mad if I did not get away. He had become astonishingly real to ate, and I felt my personality becoming mixed and meshed wkh this myth this man of air aad nothingness in a manner that npset all my previous notions of identitr. I almost belierd that I had actually mot Bancroft at some time, or that I was living a dual existence. In short, I was on the verge of lunacy whoa the climax came. One evening when I went home to supper in my usual perturbed state of mind there was a strange man at my gate. He had a keen, hatebet face and wore a slouch bat. "Mr. Frank X. Strut, I believe," Ye. k." "I am a member of the city detective force. The chief wants to sec you at his omoe. ' -What for?" I gasped. 1 don't know. Tou kad bettor come down at once." "AH right," I said, my brain ia a whirl. "Wait till I ro in and set my wife." "Your wife k at the ofice," he replied wkh a peculiar smile. Shocked and alarmed beyond expression. 1 plied him with questions, but b insisted that he knew aothing of 'the ease," as he catted k. and hurried me along. The fact ahat I bad not the slightest idea what Mabel could be doing at the police headquarters redoubled my fears. The 'chiefs office was approached by a series of passageways, at the end of one of which 1 saw, as ia a field-glass, a room m which were seated my wife and a stout gentie man in uniform, whom I knew by sight aad reputation. Mabel did not seem frightened, but was very pale aad wore a determined look. "Mabel!" I cried, aa I rushed in, "what does this mean?" "Your wife," mterposed the chief, blandly, "state that vou are acouaiated with the occupant of room 13. Xo. 90 Staunton place. Is that a fact?" "What about it?" I asked, appreciating the necessitr of gaining some more information before commtUmg myself. '"Have to seen the evening papers?" "Xo." ' Then." said the chief. "I will teliyo frankly what I want, for I believe you to be a man of reputation. The occupant cf room 12 Xo. SO Staunton place, was murdered last night, and the occupant of room IS is suspected. We tould aot tad out who that individual was. but your wife has been kind enough to 'inform us that it te a party named Bancroft, a friend of youri. We want Baacroft. When and where did yo sec htm last?" I felt the ground suddenly slipping from under my feec The whole horror of mv situation ax bed upon me. Mabel spoke up: "Frank,' she said, "when I saw that number in the paper this afternoon I kaew it was Bancroft. I eould not keep silent after such a dreadful thing, and I folt that this was perhaps the way open to break your connection wkh that wretch. So I put on my things aad came down here. It was for bth our sokes. O. Frank, tell the gentleman all yo know of that man and let us at lease get oar skirts dear of this awful crime." The chief looked at me fixedly. Under certain ctrcumtance a mau's brain will work like lightning. In aa instant I had formulated a plan. "Have yo a private room" I asked. "Ys.''he replied, "come this war." "Wait here," I said to Mabel: "do not be alarmed. I will toll him all." When the chief closed the door of the inner room I said to him verv calmly. "There is no such man as Bancroft.''' "What?" he exclaimed, starting out of his professional stoicism. "He is a mere creation of my poor wife's fancy," I replied, sadly. "Exnlaia vourserf.' "I wiH If yo win make the most trifiag inquiries yo will fad that no such person at Bancroft ever existed. DM she tell you he used to work in &rBmL S aV Strr "Yes. I believe she did."

I had hoped. 4r, to keep this secret locked forever in my own breast, but these circumstances force me, of course, to make a confession of it to you.

I suppose she told you. among other thing, that Bancroft once thrut a billiard cue down a clergyman's throat." "Yes, she did suv something about that." "Well, how prepoHcrens that k!

Mabel was anxiously waiting our coming. "It a alt right. Mrs. Stvne," said the chief. "Your husband' has told me every thing and you can go now: rat m'aeh obnged to you."

If the preponderance of this sex continues, and the girls acquire the competency sufficient, there is no reason to doubt that any avocation she may choose will not be available.

He had little schooling in the old country, bnt has always been a student on hk own hook. He learned the trade of saddle-maker la Chicago, but gave ap this occupation when he was twenty years of age, and tramped through the West and South for a couple of years. When twentyfour he went back to Chicago, and soon took part in politics. At that time there were ao Anarchists in Chicago. Spies himself was a SoctaK-t. aad being a good speaker he soon rose to be a leader of the Socialists, who were so strong that they cast tea thousand votes for their candidate for mayor, Dr. Ernst Schmidt. Spie became afterward manager of the Socialistic daily in Chicaeo. the Ari-eiUr JTcitung, which had at that time a big circulation and great influence with the working-men. Spies urged his friends to make him managing editor & well Saf attf 115 manager, and he gradually molded the Socialfetk ArimUr Zeiimmg into an Anarchist organ after the style of the Frtibeti, whose editor. Heir Most, is a particular friend of Spies, with whom he k constantly in correspondence. Spies destroyed the circulation aad influence of the paper by the change he made, and it becatne simply the mouthpiece of dynamiters aad the dangerous classes, "it printed Most's instructions to manufacture dynamite and bombs, and adrised the toiling masses to arm thenaselvea against their "enemies" to spare ao one, not wife nor child, in the great struggle for freedom which was going to come. An incident in the life of the Anarchist leader made him a bitter foe te the police. Hk brother William wan shot aad killed bv a policeman ia the summer of 154 'William was a good-for-nothing fellow who lived off hk brother. Two months before he met hk death he was a leader in a fight by which a farmer living near Chicago lost hk life. He was tried for the murder, but the influence of the ArUUcr ImktngwM yet strong enough to secure hk discharge. He went back to hk old life of idleness and lawlessness, and was shot aad killed while reststiag an omcer who wanted to arrest him. Then August Spies vowed vengeance upon the police, and he hat kept his oath. Spies wears good clothes and k aa expert shot, but, strange to say, he almost faints at the sight of blood. --A. 1. Sun.

The engraver were the real eriuv inak. It was better to eaptnie one of them than to ma kt a half damn of the fellows who aim ply put the staff iato circulation. In 184 thtre appeared a eouaterfeM tea dollar treasury note so well executed as to deceive several bank cashier? ia St. Louis. The notes, according to the information we got, were printed in that city, and I wat eat of three detectives detailed to proceed to that city and leave no stone aaturned te bring the offenders to justice. We had the help of the local detective, and we had pointers from two or three chaps who had been run down and placed behind the bars, and while we did not succeed ha laying hands on the men. we wanted, the trail got so hot that they decided to leave St Loak for Chicago. I wat at the depot one morning on a lktlt errand of my own when a naelvVessed woman about thirty years old drove up alone in a hack. I stood at her elbow when she purchased a ticket far Chicago, but it was more from accident than design. She carried a reticule ia her hand, and so far as anyone could judge she was calm and collected, aad kaew just what to do without asking a question. She wat leaving the ticket-window when a man who wis carrying a cane aader hk arm whirled around and the point of the stick struck her ia the eye. She screamed out with pain, and after a moment fainted away. Two or three of as carried her iato the ladies' sittingroom, and it happened that I picked up the reticule, which had fallen from her hand as she went down. Its weight aroused my suspicions, and while the others were surrounding the lady I got a peep into the bag, which wat act locked. It contained the two plates on which that dangerous eounterteit wat printed. A stranger, who seemed to he greatlv excited over the accident, and who advised the lady in a whisper to get aboard the train as soon as possible, wat taken iato custody, and. turned out to be her husband He was the engraver of the plates, and she wat the one who was to get them to Chicago. They were taken to police headquarters in a hack; and within two hours three other arrests had been, made and the gang broken up. Dttectivt, m Jkinit Fr$c Prts. NAMING TROTTERS. Orif t mt the X 'aVmem-a nf ftmhamann JanT asLal wiweu wa own wu vuvw Kmvi It k rather curious te trace out the origin ef the names ef many fast horses as entered ia the trotting and peeing record. We all know hew Maud S aad Jay-Xye-See name by theii ctgnomena, hut the origin, of some ot tic others are only known to the ddei horsemen. Goldsmith Maid, for instance, was originally Goldsmith's mare, so called from her owner. Mr. AMea Goldsmith, of Orange County, X. Y. Goldsmith, by the way, has a very happy faculty of bestowing euphonious or appropriate names en hk horses. For example, Bodine, Alley. Driver, Huntress, Sister. Trie, the last three being sisters, and very fast Rarus, who was the first te lower Goldsmith Maid's record, helonged te a Long Island farmer named Conkling, whom SOua returned from college, aad was enjricd'i I" 1WpS4e 3 name oa the likely cok. Wkh a re-mint-ceace of his classical studies and a prophetic intuit ton of the horse's future, he chose the Latin adjective signifying "rare." St. JuHea received his name from a brand of wine baptised in claret, at it were. Clingstone belonged to tx-Liea-tenaat-Gorernor Fond. ef Connecticut, who owned a large orchard of clingstone peaches, and desired as much success wkh the horse as he had with the fruit. Butterscotch belonged to an old candy peddler at Grand Haven, Mich., who made it one of the conditions of sale that the horse should bear the name of that sweet aed sticky article of confectionery. Some horse hare risen to distinction under names bestowed ape them by mistake. Among these u BLibone. The owner wished to call him Cut Bono, but through the igneraact ef the trainer and the entry clerk the horse's name appeared at Kiboae. Having made a success aader the latter appellation, it was thought beet aot to change it Another horse was baptised King Pharaoh, but hk trainer knew more about games of chance than he did about the Egyptian monarch; and the animal has gone as Kktg Faro ever since. One horse, oa account of infrmiti,wa to be called Deaf aad Dumb, which the erratic spelling of hk trainer shortened to Defendum.
