The Detective's Oath,

I chanced to bo in the New York Court of GeHeral Sessions, a good many years ago, when two professional thieves were being tried for burglary.

There was but little doubt of their but they bad seourod excellent egal services, the actual evidence against them was very slender, and there was every promise of their being acquitted, when the prosecuting attorney suddenly called as a witness for the State the name of Patrick Harnden, the mere mention of which caused an abrupt and striking overshadowing of the of the criminals' prospeots.

They both lost countenance—their 'oouusol looked blank and as the bearer of tho name—a poworful, well knit young man, with a palo face, an Iron |»w, and a stern, relentless eye—stepped upon the sta*.id, aud in hard tones and simple lauguago gave tho evidence tbat secured their conviction beyond a doubt, they turned white with terror, and trembled as though oonfrouted with the ghostly Nemesis of ali their crimes, and barken lng to the accusing words of Fate Itself: 'These men are professional thieves tbey are guilty of this particular charge lot which tbey are now on trial, as my evidenoo will prove, and they are the last of the Silver Gang, the members of which I have haunted, tracked, shadowed and hounded down, one by one, for yen**.'

Such was the opening sentence of wltness Harnden's testimony, which, In addition to securing that particular con •lotion, displayed throughout a certain •leatb nound tendency and a deadlines® ot purpose on the part of the speaker that Was quite remarkable.

Affor the prisoners had been sentenced fco heavy penalties, MoArdle, the veteran detective, who sat at the reporters'table, whispered in my ear *1 know It was all up with those fellows as soon as Harnden took the stand. Did you note the crushing effect of his mere presence upon them? He is the bcic noir, the incubus, the bauntiDg, nightmare phantom of tbeir tribo.' •What Is bet A detective like yourself?' 'Something of tho sort, though ho has been hurtling down this espoclal Silver tiang of thieves, about tho last of whom have just beeu disposed of. more out of revengeful hatred thau for pay. He is not only a thief transformed, but a thief converted into one who has proved their retributive and pursuing Nemesis. tell you his Sotuo time 1 will story, If you would like to bear it.

I expressod an ardent desire to that effect, and not long thereafter ho told me tho story, very much as follows: •Patrick Harnden was about finishing his apprenticeship at brass finishing, and was a sober, industrious and promising young follow, when he became attached to a pretty shoplifter, named Jennie Brettle, and then went headlong downward till he landed In her profession. I am bound to confess that tbey agreed well together, and clung to each other, through thick au thin, with a devotion and aiToctlou that I have seldom seen equaled. Still they were only thieve*, •Iter *11. and Jenny, as a thlePs wife, was, perhaps, not greatly better than she bad Ihjou before she was faithful to him, and thst was all, •Tbey were Identified with the Silver Gang, an associated band of robbers, who werejust then t-inlng in fatuously notor .vlor the mysterious direction of \i, a olevet rascal, who acquired Immense influence over them throtr~ the uniform success of bis •chen aud *'*«, strange to say, almost jm* jpu-'b of a mystery to bis criminal"subordinates as to the police and th^||ijoft whom tbeir depredation* weto ooumiltted.

and tbe miserable band we've been herding with. Don't let them hunt you down, as doubtless they'd try to do, snd I'll make it sunny snd good for yon wben I come out.M •"Blees yon for tbese words, Pat," mnrmnred tbe poor thing in reply. "Little Dennis shall grow np sn bonest man, after all. Good by—good by!" 'And, with a last weeping embrace, be was off tor prison, while she slipped quietly out of tbe court and disappeared. •But the infernal major pursued the wife as remorselessly as be bsd betrayed the husband. Acting under bis secret orders, the gang shunned, bounded snd msltrested her. and finally turned her out of the wretched Five Points rookery which she bad occupied with a number of tbem. 'She was without money and reputation, nitserahly sick, snd the weather wss snowy snd cold. Nevertheless, she made a hard fight for it, occupying any shelter tbst she could beg, day after day, and night after night, and seeking ceaselessly, persistently, to obtsin honest employment. •And it wss all in vain. She bad no character, by way of recommendation, to start with, so tbe major and his creatures gave ber one. At every shop, store factory or household that she applied to for work, it was but to find thst she bad been forestalled by information, sedretly supplied, concerning ber criminal antecedents, which effectually set to naught ber claims snd supplications. •At last she was desperate, hopeless, without a friend, and in this pitiable plight wss found one evening crouching under one of the high stoops in tbe neighborhood of the Central Park, by a policeman, who gruffly ordered her to move on, and advised her to seek a night's lodging at the nearest station house.

But she gave no heed to his advice— perhaps being half crazed with ber suffering—but, wrapping her baby still more tightly under ber poor, thin shawl, limped away through tbe fast falling snow, snd entered the park. •Out in tbe snow, under the bare trees, in among the leafless, rustling shrubs, away up through the hillocks, did she wander in tbe lifeless, deserted park, which tben must have seemed a wilderness, indeed, but more acceptable, more Inviting, than the peopled, but heartless streets, from which she fled, with hunger in ber body and despairing misery in her soul. No one could interfere with ber there, or hunt her down, or bid her move on, or laugh at her, or taunt her with hor past wickedness and present friendlessness.

Faster and faster fell the blindln snow, but it seemed to touch tbe eart! softly and tenderly, affording ber tbe covering and shelter that humanity had refused. It was bitter cold, and she tore ber shawl Into strips to more thoroughly cover up her child, while rendering ber own shoulders defenceless to tbe shiverwind. •Tben she huddled closely against a rock to keep off the drift, and cuddled up about the child as near as she could creep. And then, after the storm bad slackened, tbe moon came out and looked down pityingly on the forlorti pair.

The drift whirled faster and faster over them to oomplete its work and then at last poor Jenny, the world's forsaken waif, fell asleep forever under tbe soft, white msntle of tbe Bnow, which, like Charity's, covers such multitudes of sins. 'The Pnrk policeman found heron tbe followlng.morning, at a spot about two hundred yards north of the Seventh avenue entrunoe, frozen stiff. No stone ever marked her grave, and a four line newspaper paragraph, with aside heading, ''Unknown Woman Found Dead in Central Park" was the only notice taken of her death. •The child was found, still alive and moving on the pulseless bosom that would nourish it no more but it also died on the third day thereafter from the effects of the exposure, and that was tbe last of them. •Scarcely a week after this event, Harnden was set at liberty, and it happened that I was tbe first acquaintance ae met upon his return to the city. I should have mentioned that I had known him from his boyhood, bad deplored his evil courses, rejoiced in his promised reform, and was now anxious that he should not be tempted to go bsck upon his good resolutions, while I dreaded tho effect that would be produced upon him "by the news of his wife's and baby's pitiful death, of which I was certain be was as yet totally ignorant.

My own duties had taken me away from the city during tbe greater part of bis imprisonment, or I should certainly hare endeavored, In some messure, to befriend the poor creatures, the particulars of whose miserable fate, as I have ust described to you, I had only myself earned a day or two before thus meeting him at the depot upon his return from prison. •As soon as Harnden stepped from the train and saw me, be quickly grasped my hand and dragged me into a neighboring public bouse, where we entered a private room, "You see me return to tbe world a changed man, MoArdle, and I trust with some years' happiness in store for me," he said, and 1 noticed that he looked well, with a clear, manly light in bis eyes. "Rut tell me—where and how is Jenny?" •I felt myself growing pale, and could make no immediate answer. "Speak! Jenny and tbe child—bow are they both, and how have they fought through it all?" be repeated, with excitement. "Man all vet why do yon tarn your face away?'' •Have you beard nothing of them?' I summered, stupidly wlading to delay tbeshock.

How the deuce should I, when I am not two hours out of bolt and bat? Tell me quickly, MoArdle! She is not ill, is she?'

"No, not ill—that's certain. But probably you'll learn something of tbeir tote etaawbere.*

Fat*!" he echoed, in a broken voice, and then suddenly grasped me by tbe collar and began shaking me. *Tell me what Is wrong tbis instant!" be cried, hoarsely. "Do it or 111 throttle yon in your tracks." "•Try to bear up, Pat," I mattered, holding bim off and trying to soothe him. "I'd sooner take a stretch In jail myself than to break tbe tows to yon* Both Jenny and roar child are dead, Pet.*

V*Dead?M he yelled—"dead I dead!" •Tbe last two words came out in horrified gaspa, aad springing to his feet, be staggered against the wall, as white as a ghost. "Yes," I explained, hurriedly. *1 was out of team the whole winter, and I only learned tbe particulars a day or two ago. Tbe gang* obedience to the major's orders, first turned ber into the street, and then hunted her front plaoe to place, so that abecoald not procure „,

•And then, while he stood there gasping and glaring at me. I gave him the whole sad story, much as you had it, but more in detail. "Ob, the fiends! the demons!" he at lsst moaned, beginning to wring bis hand*, but without a tear upon his White horror wrinkied face. "And you McArdle—even you did not lifTa hand to save ber." "By heaven, Harnden!" I cried, "bad I been in tbe city and* known yonr wife was in trouble or in want, I'd have lost my arm at tbe shoulder blade sooner than let her perish. It was no fault of mine." "Ob, it matters not! Words—words are nothing now," cried the poor, bereaved fellow, suddenly towering before me, with blszing eyes and cloudy brows like an avenger of old. "At last I am alone—alone in tbe world, with every hope, every tender feeling blasted. Tbey have killed my wife among tbem, Mao—my own Jenny, that was all the world to me—and my little child, thst wss ss innocent as the angels in heaven. Ob, bad they no mercy Could they not have spared tbem and let me suffer? Listen to me, Mac, and wbat I am about to solemnly swear before high beaven. I'll have life for life, bunting for hunting, sleuth bounding for sleuth hounding, so msy the God of justice and of vengeance help me in my hour of bitter need! I swear, by all that is sacred, to live but for one object—to tear tbe mask of misery from the Major's face, and to hunt him off the face of the earth! And not bim alone, bat all of tbem, all, all, all! Not a villain shall escspe, male or female. Every one of the accursed Silver Gang—every mother's thief of tbem—shall feel a thief's power, a thief vengeance! I constitute myself tbeir Nemesis, to bunt and bound tbem down forever more!" 'Harden fairly shrieked forth those wild, threatening words, after which be staggered into the chair again, breathing so bard and looking so white that I hastened into the adjoining saloon to procure him some refreshment, fearing that be would faint. But wben I returned he bad partly recovered, and gently but firmly refused tbe glass of stimulant I proffered bim, and tbe former indulgence in which had not a little to do with bis swift descent amid crime and sin. •I may conclude my sketch by saying that be has never touched a drop of liquor since, and that be fulfilled tbe requirements of his terrible oath, wild and fitful as tbey seemed at the moment of tbeir utterance to the fery letter.' •He turned detective tben, and hunted down tbe members of tbe gang, one by one •Yes, or in pairs or groups,' replied my narrator. 'Of course it wss some time, owing to his antecedents, before he could be intrusted with regular detective work. But it was not long before be made himself equally admired by tbe force and feared by tbe thieves in an auxiliary capacity and when be was regularly commissioned as a detective, the oola blooded, patient, relentless and systematic tenacity and persistence with which he began to hunt down, entrap, inveigle and pick off the members of that gang, was a caution.' •And the Major?' 'Why, be was tbe fourth or fifth .that Harden disposed of, by a strange and exciting stratagem, an account of which would make a capital sensation story in itself. His arrest, unmasking and exposure was one of the newspaper bits of three years ago. He turned out to be a big named Monteltb, who, while planning robberies in secret for along time bad been living at the best botelB, and outting a swell in fashionable circles, which afforded bim ample opportunV' ties for concocting the long series of burglaries which he planned for bis subordinates to execute. He was sent np for twenty years, chiefly upon Ham den's testimony, and died miserably in prison, of pneumonia, contracted in the quarries, only a short time ago.' •And the two tbievps convicted the other day were, tben, the last of these banded criminals?' •Yes. Hardon has only been five years in pursuing the gang, often at the Imminent risk or his life, and numerous and powerful as they were, not one of them remains to-day to curse our community. Either dead, fugitive' or with !n prison walls, they have all disappeared, thanks to tbe'piteous event that transformed a thief into an bonest man', and brought, about the making of tbe "Detective's OaW"
