THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1896. vrduld-have a'deep interest in AiatTalfd of thing." "Well, lam not." For the next two hours not a -word passed. Mr. Mitchel sat in a large arm chair and simply -watched the girl -with an aggravating smile npon his face. In fact, the smile was so aggravating that after encountering it a few minutes Ln cette did not look at him again, hut riveted her gaze upon the opposite side of the street. At last the clock chimed 12. Instantly the girl arose. "May I go now?" "Yes, Lucette, you may go now and do your little errand that is, if it is not too late. And by the way, Lucette, Miss Bemsen asked me to say to you that she will not need your services aft er today." ' 'Do you mean that I am discharged V ' "Not exactly that. I said you would not be needed. You see, Miss Remsen thinks that you come into and go out of rooms with too little noise. She is very nervous, and it startles her to find you in her presence without having heard you enter." "You are a devil!" replied Lucette in a passion as she darted through the door, which Mr. Mitchel had unlocked, 1 and ran down stairs and out of the house. "I was right," thought Mr. Mitchel as he sat down once more. Lucette hurried across to Broadway and went into the district telegraph of fice at the corner. Hastily scribbling a few lines on a blank, she asked for a boy, and gave him a coin with the in struction to "hurry." She then went down to Madison square and waited there I was about to write, patiently but really the word would not apply. She sat on a bench, jumped up in less than five minutes, walked about for awhile, and then sat down again, re peatiug this over and over, till it was plain that she was in a bad humor a very bad humor. At last sho saw a man approaching her, and hurried to meet him. It was Mr. Barnes. He, too, looked excited. Well.what is it? Why are you here?" he asked. "I am discharged l" "Discharged? Why?" "I don't know why, but that devil Mitchel is at the bottom of it. He lock ed me up for two hours this morning, and then told me Miss Bemsen would not need mo any further. I felt like scratching his eyes out " She then told the story to the detective, winding up with : "From what I did catch of their conversation last night I think ho has made a confidant of his sweetheart. Ho asked her to help him, and just as ho was about to tell her what to do some how he saw me and closed up like a clam. I think now it had something to do with the child. " "By heaven, you are right. I see it all. I had just returned from that house when I got your note and came up here. I went to the school this morning pre tending that I wished to place a child there. Then, after awliile, I asked if my friend Mr. Mitchel's daughter Bose Was not at the school. ' Yes, ' replied the -woman in charge, 'but she has just left us.' 'Left you, 'said I; 'when?' 'Abont ten minutes ago. Her mother called for her in a carriage and took her away. ' Don't yon see, whijo you were locked in that room, Miss Bemsen went down and removed the child, " "But Miss Bemsen is not her moth er?" "No, stupid. Haven't you any sense left at all? Are you going to be a bun gler all your life? This comes of your disobedience. You let Mitchel see you in the elevated train, and now yon find out how smart you were. " "Nonsense ; he never recognized ma. " "He did. I was a fool to trust such an important matter to a woman. " "Oh, were you? Well, that woman is not such a fool as you think. I have that button back." "Ah ! Good ! How did you manage it?" "They all went to the theater last night, and I just hunted through Miss Bemseu's things till I found it, in one of her jewel cases. Hero it is. " Saying vhich she handed to the detective the cameo button which he had found in the room where the murder had been ponimitted. He saw that it was the same, and w somewhat comforted to have it back. "Has Mr. Mitchel made Miss Bern sen any present lately?" he asked. "Yes, he gave her a magnificent ruby last night. Miss Bemsen told mo that it is worth a fortune, and it looks it." "How was it set?" "It's made into a pin to be worn in the hair." "Well, I havo no further uso for you at present. Go home, and be sure you keep a still tongue in your head. You have done enough mischief already." 'Haven't I done any good? I think you are very mean," "Yes, you have dono some good. But you will find that in this world one failure counts against three successes. Bemember that." CHAPTEB IX. THE DIARY OF A DETECTIVE. It was the morning of the New Year. Mr. Barnes was seated in an armchair by his own fireside at his cozy homo on Stateu Island. In his hand ho held a diary, whose pages he was studying intently Before peeping over his shoul der to read with him it will bo best to give a slight Insight into the state of mind which led him to take up the book qu this particular day. After tho clever manner in. which he hail discovered that a young girl existed whose name was Bcse Mitchel, and who was supposed to be the daughter of Mr. Boberi Leroy Mitchel, and after the equally clever trick by which the girl was removed beyond his ken, Mr. Barnes had come to one conclusion. This was that it was necessary to keep such a strict watch upon Mr. Mitchel that if he had not already committed the crime about which he had wagered he should not be able to do so and avoid detection, for Mr. Barnes began to have some feeling in the matter beyond the mere fulfillment of duty. He Was being Ihwarteff by tliis nian at everyturn and this made him, doubly determined not to allow him to win that bet. Therefore hp jjSd removed Wilson from the post of watching Mr. Mitchel, and. had. replaced him by two men who were thoroughly skillful. Wilson and mother be set to spy upon the movements of Miss Bern sen, for he hoped to find the child through b. Being the 1st of January, and there fore the last day upon which Mr. Mitch el could commit his crime within the etontGtabntf impb&fl, alway? fc'irppjb'ing that ho had n5t already done so, ml. Barnes wished once more to go over the reports sent to him by his various spies in order that he might bo assured that no mistakes had been made. He began to read at: "Dec 15. Mitchel left his hotel early and went over to Hoffman House. Bemained thero two hours, and came out accompanied by Thauret. They walk ed up to tho White Elephant and spent the morning playing billiards. Dined together at Delmonico cafe and sepa rated at 2 o'clock. Mitchel then went to his livery stable and obtained a horse and light wagon. They aie his property. Drove slowly along Madison avenue and stopped at Thirtieth street apartment house. S . "No sign of Miss Bemsen all morn ing. She has a new maid. Her girl Sarah returned yesterday, but her mis tress refused to take her back. Evident ly she recognizes that tho girl was brib ed to go into the country and to recom mend Lucette as her cousin. About 2:30 Mitchel drove up in his light wagon. According to orders, I prepared to fol low them, that they might not visit the child, eluding us by driving. Obtained a cab and was waiting in it as the two turned into Madison avenue and started up town. Easily kept Ihem in sight without exciting suspicion, but learned nothing, as they simply drove up through the park, along St. Nicholas avenue and homo again down tho Boulevard and Biverside drive. He remained at the Bemsens' till 10 o'clock. Then went straight to his hotel W . "Dec. 1G. Mitchel spent his morning at his club; afternoon in his hotel; evening at Miss Bemsen 's. S . "Miss Bemsen and her sister spent tho morning shopping; the afternoon paying calls; the evening at home. W . "Dec. 17. Mitchel's actions samo as yesterday, except that Thauret called on him at his hotel during the afternoon and was with him an hour. S . "Miss Bemsen, her sister and two other young ladies went to Brooklyn in the afternoon, but simply visited the large stores there. At home in the even ing. W . "Dec. 18. Mitchel and Thauret to gether in the morning. Mitchel and Miss Bemsen out. walking in afternoon. Mitchel and Thauret at club in the even ing. I bribed doorman and succeeded in getting in disguised as one of the serv ants. Mitchel and Thauret played whist, playing as partners. They lost about $100 ; went home together. S . "Miss Bemsen indoors all morning. Out on Fifth avenue with Mitchel in the afternoon. During their absence Thauret called. W . "Dec 19. Mitchel and Thauret play ed poker all afternoon in one of the rooms of their club. Both lost. There were four others in the game. One of these won heavily. I have discovered that this is undoubtedly the man who was Thauret's whist partner on the night when Bandolph thought that ho detected them cheating. Ho also answers tho description of the mi.u who left the jewels at hotel in New Haven. His name is Adrian Fisher. In the evening Mitchel and Thauret were in a box at the opera with the Bemsen family. S . "The Miss Beniscus gave an afternoon tea. Mr. Bandolph called and remained after supper. Went to tho opera with the ladies in tho evening. V . "Dec. 20, Mitchel in his hotel all day. Ho and Thauret went driving in the afternoon. 1 followed them in a light wagon. At the roadhonse in the park they alighted and had a bottle of wine. Talked together earnestly. Saw Mitchel give Thauret a roll of money. In th3 evening they played wl.h i as partners at the club, and again they lost. S . "No sign of the Miss Bemsens till afternoon, when a young lady called and tho three went to matinee at Daly's. Evening they spent at home. W . "Dec 21. Mitchel attended worship at St. Patrick's cathedral with the two Miss Bemsens. Afternoon remained in his hotel. Evening at the Bemsens. "Miss Bemsen and her sister at St. Patrick's cathedral in the morning. At home the rest of the day. W . "According to instructions, I have made inquiries about Adrian Fisher. Ho is a man of good family, hut poor. Be longs to two fashionable clubs. Plnys cards for money frequently. Is a good player and seems to earn a Jiving off cf his friends. Has no relatives living, ex cept a sister, who is a cripple. Ho is very fond of her and treats her with great kindness. It is a mystery how he manages to support her as comfortably as he does. They live together in a small flat at East Fiftieth street. It was he who introduced Thauret at the club and had him mado a member. He was out of town from Dec! 1 to Dec 4. Q -t" At this point; of hie rending Mr. Barnes laid down his book and thought a moment, Theso questions occurred to him: "Is this man Fisher the tool of Thauret? He is poor and a card player. He is well born and has a sister to sup port in a style suitable to her birth. Has Thauret induced him to play, that together they may fleece the other mem bers of the club. It looks like it, but why this sudden intimacy with Mitchol, or is that less sudden than we know and have they been long acquainted? Again, is Fisher the man who received the satchel from one of theso men, and then took it to the hotel in New Haven?, "fife was out of town a ho time. Why did hp place the satchel in tho hotel and then abandon it? After securing tb plunder, why did he thus lose it? Was he suddenly overtaken by his conscience, and, becoming aware of tho fact that Thauret was using him as a tool in a piece of criminal work, did he take this method of clearing himself, and of al lowing the jewels to be returned to their owner as soon as found in the ho tel? This would account for Thauret's having left the train at Stamford, in tending, perhaps, to return to Ne'f Haven and meet his confederate. Fisher lueanwhilo having abandoned the scheme and returned to New York, Thaurj? t was thwarted. But who killed fhe. woman?" Mr. Barnes resumed h is reading. . "Dec 2G. Mitchel arose early and, called for Miss Bemsen pt 1 1 o'clock. To gether they went to the home of Mr, find Mrs. Van Bawlston, at Fifth ave- pue, near Forty-eighth street They re majned nearly an hour, and then sepa rated when they came out Mitchel ate luncheon at the Brunswick, where he was joined by Thauret They went to the club in the afternoon and played whist They lost money. Mitchel paid for both, ana Wok sdj I O TJ -tvam Thauret for his share. Bandolph was m the game. There is a growing coolness between Bandolph and Mitchel. They barely speak when they meet. It is evi dent that no lovo is lost between Ban dolph and Thauret In the evening the three men wero in the Bemsens' box at the opera. S . "Miss Bemsen accompanied Mitchel to Mrs. Van Bawlston's in the morning and left him when they came out. Sho made several calls mainly upon weU known fashionable society leaders. Something is evidently on the tapis. It occurred to me that the -missing child might havo been placed in the care of the Bawlstons. Therefore in the after noon I allowed B to follow the young ladies on a shopping expedition, while I interviewed the policeman on the beat. He is acquainted with Van Bawlston's maid and will send a report to you tonight. The ladie3 went to the opera in the evening. W . "Mr. and Mrs. Van Bawlston have three children, all younger than 14, and only one a girl, the youngest The Miss Bemsen who called was a Miss Emily Bemsen. She was accompanied by a Mr. Bobert Mitchel. They came to beg Mrs. Van Bawlston to allow a society to which the yonug lady belongs to givo an entertainment in her house. The enter tainment is to bo New Year's night. Po liceman 1GGG. "Dec. 23. Mitchel and Thauretwent to a costumer's on Union square. When they had left, I called there and said that I was a friend of Mr. Mitchel's and Ilcyavc TlianrcLa roll of money. wished a costume made for the same en tertainment. The plan worked, and by adroit questioning I discovered that there is to be an Arabian Night festival on tho night of the New Year. It is to be a costume masquerade, and Mitchel has promised to send all of the men to his costumer for their drosses. He pr dered an Ali Baba dress. Thauret left no order, saying he would not attend. I ordered an Aladdin costump. If you do not decide to attend, I can countermand the order, but I thpught you, might find it advantageous to bp present, With Aladdin's wonderful lamp you might shed some light upon tho mystery. Bar don tho joke. The afternoon, and even ing were spent by Mitchel and Thauret at their clab. Again they played whist and again they lost & , "Tho ycuug ladies spent tho morning at a fashionable dressmaker's on Madi son avenue. I Lave picked up an ac quaintance with a servant girl who lives in one cf the flats in Thirtieth streethouse, and from her I learn that Miss Bemseu's new maid tells her that the affair at the Van Bawlston house will be a costume masquerade, all par ties assuming characters from the 'Arr' ian Nights. ' Miss Emily Bemsen will appear as Scheherezade. W ." Mr. Barnes turned two pages at this point, evidently considering that noth ing of special moment was contained in the reports covering the next few days. Ho began again : "Dec. 30. Mr. Mitchel came out of his hotel at 10 o'clock and crossed over to Jersey City, taking an express for Philadelphia. I of course took same train. S . "The Miss Bemsens were at home all day. They are busy pi their postumes for tho coming entertainment W . "Dec 31. Telegram" from Philadel phia: 'Mitchel at Lafayette, hotel. Is sick in bed. Doctor in attendance. Sent a telegram to Miss Reuiseu telling her that he cannot ha on hand tomorrow night ' S-r-, "Thauret went to Union square cos tumer yesterday and obtained the Ali Baba costume ordered for Mitchel. He gave the costumer a letter which hp had received from Mitchel, dated at Phila delphia yesterday. It reads: 'Friend Thauret, I am suddenly taken ill. Don't let tho Bemsens know that it is anything serious. Oblige me, if possi ble, by attending the 'Arabian Nights' festival. I inclose my invitation and a note to Mr. Yau Raw's.on, vh.ich will introduce yqu. Yqu uay -wear my cos tume, and the costumer will give it to yon if you present this. You were to have gone out of town, I know, but if you wish to do me a favor I hope you will change your plans and take my place. I do not wish Miss Bemsen to be entirely unattended. Therefore be with her as much as you can. She will be dressed as Scheherezade. (Signed) Mitchel. ' "I obtained this from the costumer by saying I am a detective shadowing a criminal. Q ."
