A DETECTIVE’S STORY.

The most experienced and sagacious -of detectives are not always successful. = ‘We of the force are like other men, fallible, ‘and even the best laid plans sometimes wholly fail to achiéve their purpose. I have been many years in tiagbusiness, and, although I have aided in bringing a large number of noted criminals to justice, there have been several instances in which my better judgment has been blinded .and my most elaborate traps elided by the rascals of whom I was in search. It is a terrible aggravation to a detective to find his labor set at naught, but of all my failures I never had one that so filled me with chagrin and mortification as one that I once made in New York. It made me appear the more ridiculous because the case was a very simple one, and the chief actor in it was a woman. To be taken in by a male sharper is bad enough, but.to have yourself and your profession. laughed at by o syomen is too much for a detective, proud of his sagacity, to bear with equanimity.” I do n’t often care to speak of it, but ds I am not likely to be caught in a similar trap again, I, don’t mind telling you the story in confidence.

The present fashionable generation ‘may not remember the firm of Stephens & Martley, jewelers; who formerly transacted a large business on Broadway, not far from Duane street. The store was one.day entered by a very beautiful and richly dressed lady, who bad left her carriage at the door, and who asked to be shown some diamond crosses. The salesman exhibited the tray containing a large number of very valuable trinkets of that description, studded with gems of exceeding richness.and purity. = After eonsiderable liesitation, she finally chose one and inquired the price. i ; - “It is worth_sl,3oo,” replied the salesman. . ¥ : «I will take it,” said the lady. “Be good enough to do it up nicely.” “Shall we sénd it ?” asked the salesman.

“No, thank you, I will take it with me.” d .

She tendered in payment two crisp, new bills, one of $l,OOO and one of $5OO. The salesman took them to the cashier, who examined them to see that they were genuine, and opened his drawer’to return the necessary change. = To his annoyance he found himself short of small bills, and rather than pay out all his small change he sent the two bills back to the customer to ask if she had not the exact amount.. Thelady examined her portemonriaie, but was unable to find anything but ‘three bills 0f.5500 each. These would not help the matter, and the cashier paid out his change with reluctance, dashed the two new bills into the drawer and slammed it to in no very good humor. : : !

. The lady took the diamonds, swept gracefully out of the store, entered her carriage and was: driven rapidly away. In fifteen mihutes afterward the cashier, having occasion to open his drawef, was attracted by a peculiar liné on the $l,OOO note.. He examined it closely and at once pronounced it a counterfeit. The lady haa cleverty changed tho 110tes when they had been returned to her. . It was then too late to trace the fair swindler. I was sent for by the firm, but an inquiry into the facts of the case did net permit me to offer any strong hope of recovering the diamonds or the- $2OO. The salesman was sure that hg would know the fdce again,-and he remembered that the lady was dressed in blue .silk with a lace sliawl. - . He could.recollect nothing more, except that he thought that the carriage had wheels with gilded hubs and spokes. This was slight material, but I made the necessary notes in my memorandum book, and left the store:. .. :

For several days after that I kept a. sharp lookout in the streets:for a'carriage with gilded hubs. | I visited all the livery stables and hackney coach stands that I could think of, but my search was in vain. At last, passing one day through Bleecker street, I met a’ carriage driving rapidly toward Broadway. Its description answered very well to that which: Stephens & Martley’s salesman had given me, but a glance inside showed ,me that it was empty. I stopped it, however, and cross-questioned the driver. The carriage was a public one, and the driver remembered taking a lady in blue silk, four or five days pre"viously, to. Stephens & Martley’s. So l far I was on the right track, but the #rail was soon lost again. ' In.answer to my questioning, the man said that the lady had taken - his carriage at Union Square, where it was then standing, and, after visiting the jewelry store, had been driven to a dry goods store on Chatham Square, when she dismissed him. He did not notice whether she entered the store ornot, and he had never seen her since. 1 took the man’s number and looked well at- his carriage and horses. Having thus mentally photographed his_establishment, I gave ‘him a quarter and let him go. 'There was nothing more to be done for the present, except to telegraph a general description of the woman and the diamond cross to the prinecipal cities of the country, and to keep an eye on the outward-bound steamers for Europe, and elsewhere. This I managed to do without muchdifficulty while attending to other business. _ More important cases soon engrossed my attention, and the affair of the diamond cross fell into the background, when, aftera lapse of several months, I received a telegram from a detective in Boston, stating that a noted gambler named “Jumping Johnny,” ‘who had twice been in the State prison for counterfeiting, had been seen in that city lately in suspiciously intimate relations with'a woman residing in Columbus avenue, who answered in some respects to the déscription of our heroine, 'The house in Columbus avenue and the appearance of the woman were altogether too respectable for sich close connection with “Jumping Johnny” without mischief being in Q}‘Ze wind. b 1 Had not the pleasure of “Jumping Johnny’s” acquaintance, but I started ‘that same night for Boston to look at the woman, taking Stephens & Martley’s salesman with me ‘to identify ‘her. I procured a couple of officers from the Boston force and proceeded to the house in Columbus avenue. It was a large, handsome structure of brown stone, and I noticed that the curtains to all except the lower story were closely drawn. 1 suspected from this that the upper rooms were all unfurnished, and that the lower and basement floors only were: occupied By the .inmates, who had doubtless their own reasons for -choesing an innocent looking dwelling in a fgashi,on,able quarter for carrying on a business that might not bear the scrutiny it would be subjected to in more public locality. -But this, of course, was all guess work. I posted ‘an officer on the curbstone before the house, and another in the rear aller..;glth instrucms to kee? his eye on the back gate “Tdqn't want “Jumping Johuny,"

I explained to these sentinels. “I am after the woman who stole our. diamonds. If you see a woman come out, detain her.” 3 : foxiin

I did not ¢are H;? trouble “Jumping Johnny,” because, first, T had no evidence whatever that he was implicated in the diamond swindle, and, second, because I was employed to recover Stephens & Martley’s property, and to find the party who stole it, and it-was not my business to ferret out counterfeits. I reserded that part of the affair for a separate job.. The name on the door-plate was “D'Orsay.” Trang the bell, and after some delay, during which I detected a pair of eyes scrutinizing us from behind the basement blinds, the door wlgfs partly opened by a vesy angular servant with a shock of fiery red hair, who placed her anatomy in the passage and demanded our business. “I would like to see Madam D’Orsay, if you please. llsshe at.home ?” ‘.

‘:I do-ll't kn’Q‘W." oel e . “Be good [email protected]ﬁad;out. it you PI?L,?B. Oui siness is very.i b ant. !

- “What is it ?” cidp T - I placed my finger on my lips mysteriously. ! . E “It would n’t do to.tell it here on the street,” I said. “I saw & cop on the sidewalk out here.” 'The girl looked wise and returned my wink. “Oh! you belong to them, do ye?” she. answered, “Well, walk in.” She ushered us.into a parlor, handsomely furnished, and left us alone. In a few moments we saw through the open door an elegantly dressed lady descending the stairs. Rl - “By heavens!” .exclaimed the salesman,. “that’s the woman who bought the cross.” YR

‘l:was on the right track, then, at last.© She entered tlie room with a queenly step, and 'stood still looking at us inquiringly. = She was certainly ‘the most beautiful woman I ever saw before or since. She evidently had no remembrance of my companion, :or if she did she concealed. her recognition of him admirably. ‘ : - “This gentleman,” I said, rising and pointing to my companion, “ig’ from the firm of Stephens & Martley, of New York.”: : !

" She turned very pale, and grasped the back ot a chair for support. - - “I, madam,” I continued, “am an officer 'of the detective police. ‘We have called in rglation to a a certain diamond cross purchased by you from Stephens & Martley ‘several months ago, which was paid for in counterfeit notes.” - : :

She sank into a chair, pale as death, and trembling in every limb. - . “What is the penalty ?” she - asked. “We will talk of that 'aftherw‘ai'd,” I said. =~ “Is the eross still in your possession ?” i Sl s

“It is,” she said. “Will you let me go it I return the eross and the money ?- Ob, gir, please let me go. You' only 'want the property back; surely: I will pay you that ‘and more too,. 1f you will not take me away.” = =

It was hard to resist this| kind of talk., She sat there wringing her hands and with her beautiful eyes suffused with tears—a picture to melt a heart of stone. - b L “You % g it is.” she sai&‘}, A e et Yt o lEs TS mine..

She arose to leave the room, and for the first time it struck me how short she was even for a woman.

T told my companion to step into the | ‘hall, and keep his eye: on the other ‘door, while I remained in the parlor. I had no fear of my bird’s escape, for I had a pretty accurate mental plan 'of the house in my head, and I knew she could not leave it without being seen by my men outside. sShe.was absent a very long time, during which I heard an animated discussion going ‘on in the adjoining room, in; which the shrill tonesof a child’s voice could be plainly distinguished. The words, however, were unintelligible. I had become thoroughly tired of waiting, and was on the point of making a disturbance, when the door opened and a hideously deformed boy appeared, limping on a crutch. . He ~was hump-backed, and a dreadful 'scrofulous mark | disfigured one side of his ugly face. .

As they came up to the door, they saw the gentleman standing in the alley-way with his overcoat. on, smoking a cigar, and the parlor was all lighted up.
