The Man Who
Was "Fixed"
By ALAN HINSDALE
at
Wlicn I wns n young man soon nftor
tlio war between tlio states I went to
Kentucky. Kentucky had been n slavo
Htnte, mid tlioro were n number of
negroes who hnd been freed. These
were thrown on their own resources,
and many of them had a hard tluio to
make a living.
One day I missed some clothing from
my room, and the Janitor of tho build
Ing In which I lodged disappeared at
tho same time. Tho pollco wcro set In
motion to find thp Janitor Pcto Mar
tin. Tiioy succeeded, and ho was
brought to trial, I being his accuser.
Ho was convicted and sent to stato
prison for two years.
Boon after his conviction I received a
call from his former master, who said
that It had been reported to him by
Pcto's associates that as soon as ho got
out of prison he would "fix" mo for
having sent him up. The gentleman
also told mo that tho convict was tho
only slavo ho had ever owned of whom
ho was afraid. Misery loves company,
and my misery was lightened by being
told that Tote had threatened to "llx"
tho Judgo who sentenced him as well
ns his accuser. I thanked the gentle
man for his warning and told him that
I would bo on my guard.
Nevertheless when tho ttmo of dan
ger camo I forgot nil about tho matter.
I had made a memorandum of tho dato
of expiration of tho convict's term;
but, learning that they nil get time- off
for good behavior, I had considered
tho memorandum worthless and put It
nwny, forgetting It. It happened that
In looking over Homo old memoranda I
kept In n pigeonhole of my desk I hit
upon tho date of Polo's release on tho
very day hla full time expired.
Throwing It into n wastebaskct, I
put tho matter out of my mind. But
It camo back again that night when 1
was In bed nbout to go to sleep. Sup
poso I should awaken In tho middle of
tho night and seo the powerful figure
of tho negro standing over mo. I could
not get rid of this dread and tho next
du.- purchased u revolver, louded It
nnd placed It under my pillow.
Ono morning on taking up my paper
I saw that Judgo Montague, who hnd
sentenced Pcto, had been called to his
door nt 10. o'clock nt night and shot
through the heart by n man who had
disappeared without having been seen
by nny ono except his victim. Tho no-,
count given Indicated that not tho
slightest clow to tho murderer was In
tho hands of tho police.
I went to tho stnto's attorney and
told him my story. Ho at onco liii
quired of tho warden of tho prison in
which reto had been confined and
learned that tho coitvlct had gained no
time for good behavior, but had been
released on tho expiration of tho term
for which ho had been sentenced. It
was considered prolmblo by tho attor
ney nnd by mo that Pcto was tho
Judgo'u murderer and equally probablo
thnt ho would carry out his threat to
"fix" mo as well.
Tho police wero Instructed to look
for Pcto, but not to glvo publicity to
tho fact that ho was wanted or that
thero was any clow to Judgo Montu
guo's murderer. As for mo, I was to
tako ovcry possible means to bo ready
for Pcto should ho carry out hid threat
concerning mo. Tho chief of police
wished to send a man to sleep In my
houso, but I concluded that this would
bo moro trouble than It Was worth. I
got out my revolver, which I had dis
carded, saw that It wns In order and
loaded and had a telophono apparatus
placed on n table besldo my bed.
Ono night after alt In tho houso wcro
asleep thero enmo n ring nt my door
boll. I telephoned tho pollco by pre
vious arrangement that I was being
called up lato at night, then went to n
window nnd called out that I would
conio down as soon ns I could get on
somo clothes, A fow minutes nftor
my telcphono mcssago tho policeman
near my houso was nt my door. Hut
whoever had rung had disappeared.
If my visitor was Peto ho did not
como ngaln. Several months passed
without my being molested, and I was
beginning to think that Pcto had con
cluded Unit It would bo wiser for him
to forego his roVcngo upon mo when
ono night I was awakened by tho flash
of u dark lantern In my eyes. I bo
lleved thero wore burglars In tho
house. Taking tho telcphono Instru
ment undor tho cover to deaden tho
sound, I called "Pollco!" giving my
street and number.
I knuw that thero would bo no waste
of tlmo by (ho police, and I hoped by
rennilnlng quiet tho burglars would go
on doing their work. At tho eamo
time, seizing my revolver, 1 slid noise
lessly out of bed and, feeling my way
to u closot, loft tho door njnr so that
1 could see out. I had not been thero
long before I heard u tread In tho hull,
thou footsteps approaching my bed. I
saw n figure pass n window. Whoever
wns In tho room must, have gone to tho
bed, folt for tho occupant and, (hiding
no ono there, retraced his steps, for 1
heard nothing oxcept footsteps In re
treat. .
IJiutonlng to tho door, I shut nnd
looked It, then raised tho window Bash
ns softly as possible.
Seeing figures below, who I surmis
ed wero tho pollco, I called to them
to enter. They hnd surrounded tho
house and broke In nt onco. They
hunted every nook nnd cranny and at
Inst found n negro In tho garret, whom
I ldcntillcd nt onco no Peto Martin.
Pete wns convicted of killing Judgo
Montm ue and expiated his crlmo on
tho ga' ' vs.
An analysis of the contents of n
vacuum cleaner mado recently showed
that the dust which hud collected on
tho bookshelves In a library constated
of "hair, green wool, white wool, cot
ton fibers, celluloid, pieces of linger
nails, fly wings, sand grains, wiod, pa
per, string, metallic iron and leather.
Tho hair was probably derived from
soft hats, the wool and cottoti II born
from clothing, sand from the mud
tracked In on shoes and llie gradual
pulverizing of tho floor, fly wings from
dead flics nnd paper from book leaves."
Curiously enough, very few germs
wcro found In tliU dust Vet thero Is
no question that Inhaling It might lend
to various diseased conditions. This
would not bo tho result of any disease
germs contained In tho dust Itself, but
to tho Irritating effects produced by
tho dust particles .when brought into
contact with the bronchial membranes.
Thus It Is ovldent that oven germ free
dust may bo harmful when Inhaled.

A Woman
Detective's Story
By SADIE OLCOTT
::
fl am n woman detective. I wns once
sent to decoy n de.inerndo who was
making Elections ostensibly for the
church. He was Aaron Burt ho pass
cd under other names and nt the lime
wns working In the town of Edgcrton.
I went there, learned that ho was nt
n certain hotel, and ho was pointed
out to mo In tho reading room.
I entered tho room nnd, going up to
him, saldi
"Tho Ilcv. Mr. Hurt. I bellevo."
"I am," he said, rising nnd looking nt
mo suspiciously.
"I have understood that von hnvo
great success In raising money for
chun hes, and I would like to know If
you Mould bo willing to help mo pay
oir a mortgage on our cuurcii nt Avon
dale." v
Avmirlnln nno n nu'n twit- frtt
wiiuiiim i IW1III IIUU LIU 11UIII
Kdccrton.nnd I had heard tfint nun nf
Its churches was under mortgnge, which
the congregation desired to pay off.
Hut I intended this only ns n menus of
making Mr. Hurt's ucnualntnncc.
I described to him tho sltuntlon nt
Avondalc, stating that tho peoplo there
wcro woll to do, but needed somo per
suasive sneaker to wako them un 1
added that he would bo paid for his
labor, proposing that ho receive tho
communion iiimseir nnu ueuuet one
third of it for himself. This I lennw
would please him, for thero would be
no dllllculty In his deducting his third
or, rather, of ntmronrlntlnir the whole
contribution. Ho manifested a wil
lingness to undertake the work, but
protested against receiving so much
compensation as u third of tho amount
collected. On no nccount would ho
consent to deduct moro than 10 per
cent Ho wns ready to go to Avon
dale ns soon ns I snld tho word. I told
him that I would see tho tmstor nnd
tho dencon nnd ns soon ns I could get
their consent would let him know.
I pretended to go to Avondnle, but
really returned to the sheriff, who hnd
employed me, to urrnngo with him as
to when nnd where ho should send the
force Intonded to mnko the arrest. It
wns ngreed between us that ho was to
send ono picked man to Edgcrton, who
wns to pass himself ns n commerclnl
trnveler. This man's namo was Lam
ed, and I was mado acoualntcd with
him, nnd wo conferred together. I told
hint to bring tho lurgest snmplo trunk
ho could find.
Heturnlng to Edgcrton, I told Mr.
Burt that everything hnd been nrrang
ed nt Avondnle, but tho evening select
ed for his nnnenl for funds had boon
fixed for tlio following Sunday, four
days hence. Ho was not plcnsed at
tins, preferring that the work should
bo done at onco. Tho truth is ho did
not enro to remain In tho snmo locali
ty for so long n period. I determined,
however, to hold him if possible till I
could spring my trap.
I laid myself out to please him,
spending a good deal of tlmo with
hlin. I know that ho wns not inter
ested In matters of religion nnd did
not talk on religious subjects. I pre
ferred to choose other topics, In which
ho would bo more nt home, my inten
tion being when I had gained his con
lldenco to glvo him to understiind thnt
I know his trtio ehiiracter, that I was
one of tho same kind us himself nnd
desired to ussist him in plundering thnt
I might sharo tho plunder.
When I thought tho tlmo rlpo I re
vealed tho character I wished him to
tako mo for by confessing that I ex
pected n sharo in tho collection I wns
to bring nbout. I suw him start, but
he did not tnko tho hint openly, nnd it
wns somo tlmo boforo ho consented to
drop the parson and talk Uko tho vil
lain ho was. Then I told him that to
gether wo might reap u rich hurvest
Ho caught ut tho idea und grew enthu
siastic over it.
Having wou his confidence, I kept
holding up tho rich hauls wo would
mnke, I Joining congregations and ar
ranging for addresses, to bo followed
by collections. Ho would disappear,
leaving mo to repent having put con
lldcnco in a rascal.
When all wns rendy for my schomo
Lnrned appeared at tho hotel, and a
sample trunk of enormous size was
carried to his room. It was empty,
but only Lnrned nnd I know thrtf . I
told Mr. Burt that I was bent on tak
ing monoy from tho commercial trav
eler uhd that I was already engaged
in learning whoro ho kept It. Tho
next duy I informed my pal that
Lnrned hnd gono out nnd left $300 be
tween tho mattresses of his bed, sug
gesting thnt Burt go into his room nnd
get it while I wiitchcd. Tho door wns
supposed to be locked, nnd I borrowed
a skeleton key from Burt with which
to unlock It, though Lnrned hnd pur
posely left It unlocked.
I took a position In tho mill tiud nftor
pretending to hnvo wntched for Bomo
tlmo culled Burt nnd told hlin tho const
was clear, and ho went into tho room
for tho money. Ho had scarcely dono
so when I ran in and told him that
tho drummer wns coming up to his
room,
"Oct in tho trunk," I snld. "It is
your only chiinco."
I raised tho lid, and' ho got insido.
I clapped tho Hd dowu on him nnd
locked hlin In. Lnrned was waiting
In another room, nnd ns soon ns I had
secured tho prize I culled him.
Before Burt wns let out ho was told
thnt ho ivhb covered nnd if ho resisted
ho would bo shot. Ho whb mined, but
tho odds woro so greatly against him
that ho surrendered.
I received $200 for my share In tho
arrest. ',,
