HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR
"I think tho Cutlcura Remedies aro
tho best remedies for eczema I hava
ovor heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on Its head when It
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gnvo us medicine, but it
did no good. In a few days tho head
was n solid mass; n running sore. It
was awful, tho child cried continually.
Wo had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last wo remembered Cutlcura Reme
dies. Wo got n dollar bottlo of Cutl
cura Rosolvcnt, a box of Cutlcura
Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap.
Wo gavo tho Resolvent as dlrectod,
washed tho head with tho Cutlcura
Soap, and applied tho Cutlcura OInt
mont. Wo had not used half beforo
tho child's head was clear and freo
from oczema, and it has nover como

and" ho bad a beautiful head of hair.
I think tho Cutlcura Ointment vary

A TRUE STORY OF THE SECRET SERVICE
By COL. II. C. WHITLEY """SSSiOfSU.
d
T was nnmotlmo In tho
fall of 1859 that a strang
er came trudging nlong
tho turnpike
Ho was i
short and fat. Ills round
red fnco wns covered with
n stubby growth of blonde
whiskers. Ho wore a
broad Hat blue cloth cap
and a long brown linen
duster a llttlo out of sea
son. A bundle tightly roll
ed In black oilcloth was strapped to
his back. Ho stopped In tho middle of
tho road. Looking about, his eyos
rested upon a weather-beaten sign
board upon which had onco been
painted tho picture of a black bear
resting upon its haunches. For more
than a hundred years this sign board
had been swinging to and fro as If
beckoning and Inviting passersby to
enter tho llttlo inn that was standing
sorno 15 or 20 foet back from tho
road. It took Mr. Herman Wclsgar
bcr scvoral minutes to decipher tho
Inscription beneath tho faded picture.
When ho had Biiccccded, as ho thought,
ho muttered audibly, "Dish Ish do
blaco. Per black bear vas Inn, und
1 shust myself vlll wnlk In rait hltu."
Dructng up a llttlo and stroking his
chin ho stepped with a lengthened
strido into tho llttlo front room that
served as nn olllco for tlio Dlack 13oar
Inn. Hcrq ho found himself in tho
prusonco of a pleasant-faced woman
who Binilod coqiu'ttislily.
Ho greeted her In his own tongue,
In which sho replied, and tho conver
sation wan now carried on briskly in
tho Oerman languago. It was a bux
om widow on tho ono band and n ras
cally counterfeiter on the other. lie
was n long-tltno rogue, but eho was
honoHt and unsuspicious. With her
tho world was good, with him it was
dog eat dog and tho dovil tako the
hindmost. Tho widow Hartz was al
together too unsophisticated to pene
trato tho dark recesses of the hollow
hearted man that had by chance come
suddenly into tho affairs of her life.
Sho Judged him by her own hear
and little dreamed of tho misery so
soon to follow her chanco' acquaint
anco with. Herman Wulsgarbor.
Hor husband had died about two
years bofore. At this time her heart
was conterod on her son, n young man
nearly twenty years of uge. i John
Hartz, thanks to tho training of his
father, wns honest and Industrious.
Tho lllack Hoar Inu and tho llttlo
farm adjoining was a sacred inheri
tance from his paternal grandfather.
Tho Inn was now somewhat out of
date, but was still doing its pnrt to
wards furnishing tho mother nnd son
a living and a llttlo to lay up for a
rainy day. John'B father had taught '
him to stand firmly for tho right In
all things.
Mr. Woisgarbcr'3 gray bluo cyea'

himself. Tho word tramp, now so
aptly appllod to tho tie-path tourist;
had not been colnod In that day and

xIIo said ho was Just out on a pleasure
tour and that ho travoled on foot as
a mattor of choice. Ho was moving
lolduroly along that ho might bettor

mountain air. Ills words wcro woll

cautiously worked his way up to tho
point of offering to remain for a tlmo
and assist in tho work about tho Inn
and farm. Ho had a smooth tonguo.

Under pretence of his inability to un

Ono day a drover camo along tho
pike with a long string of oxen and
stopped nt tho Hlnck Hear Inn, and
engaged a pasture for his cnttlo over J
night. Tho drover was new In that
part of tho country, nnd for safety he
handed his pocket book, containing
several hundred dollars, to John Hartz
for safe keeping, In the presence of
Welsgarher. Shortly afterwards when
the drover wns out attending to bis
cattle, Welsgarber suggested tho Idea
to John of changing tho good money
in the pocket book for an equal
amount of counterfeit that he had on
hand. John wns easily persuaded lie
thought his step-father knew best. In
tho morning tho drover received his
pocket book and proceeded to count
its contents. Ho at once saw that
tho bills were of a different kind than
thoso ho had . been carrying. lie
pulled u coim"Telt detector ironi ins
pocket and e!nttultted them. Having
sntlHlleil hlmdfelf that they were bad,
he charged John with having substi
tuted them. Tho accused mnn'H face
turned red and he began to stammer,
but hlfl step-father who was stundliu
by, camo at once to the front and com
menced to talk In Oerinun to John
Turning to the drover he ptotested In
badly broken English thnt the young
man was honest und hadn't even
opened the pocket book. Hetween the
two the drover got a tongue lashing
for his accusation that so completely
upset blm that he was none too sure
that he ever had any money. He was
.'now In n bad fix; n long ways from
homo with a' pocket book full of court
torfoit money ns his only wherewith
to pay his oxponses.
Aftor ovcrythlng had cooled down,
Mr. Welsgarbor, in a burst of gener
osity, was good onough to loan tho
drovor ono or two hundred dollars to
pay his way until ho could reach
Strasburgh, a llttlo town at tho foot
of tho Throe nrothor mountains. Tho
drover was silenced but not altogether
convinced. His money was all right
tho day beforo, but ho wasn't quite
suro it vv'ns of tho right "stamp when
ho handed It ovor to tho young man
for safo kooplng. Iloro was an exem
plification of tle llt,tlo d,lfforenco be
tween tho truth and a Ho well stuck
to. Tlmo rolled on and John, Hartz'
careen in crlmo became raoro and

; Inhn wns easily persuaded ami he suf
fered himself to no led along step by
tp until he wns deep In tho mire.
Our Civil war had brought a :reat
hango lu tho ilnunces of tho country.
Wild cat banks had gone out of ex
istence and a now kind of money wns
In iiso There was a great deal of
counterfeiting going on and John
Hartz was one of the number engaged
In It. I.IUo the most of the men of
his stamp he was unsuccessful In ac
cumulating wealth.
A counterfeit In er stamp made
Its appearance lu Philadelphia and I
found It necessary to visit thnt city
The night was dark and stormy and
It was about the portentous hour of
I '00 a in., when ghosts are said to
ntalk nhto.id In ghastly white at ray,
that four detectives left their comfort
abli quarters tn the hotel with the ex
pectation of making an Important
arrest. The man they sought was In
visible during the day time and a dif
ficult man to fticounter at night. He
had frequently been heard of but had
seldom been seen by the government
detectives When the ollicers reached
tht appointed place they scattered
and took up their positions where they
would attract ns little attention as
possible Their mysteilous mlshlon
had been I ally explained; a deal was
i pecled lo be pulled off. One of the
detectives was rotund of person lie
had, through one of the counterfeiting
gang, been Introduced as a beer deal-
r who said hv was willing to take his
bonces wltli bogus Mumps, and he
had bargained with one of the conn
tei fellers for live thousand counter-
li lager beer stamps, and was to
i 'reive them ut a certain hour at a
dt'Hlguutcd place
When the man put In an appear
ance to make the delivery he was to
he arrested. This individual, owing to
the darkitesB or the night, was unable
to see the detectives stationed about,
and ho walked with his carpet bug In

hanii 'bravely up to tho ofllfcer In wait
ing at the place agreed upon.
On n given signal the detectives
hurriodly closed In. Tho counterfeit
er did not readily submit and tho ofll
cqra soon found they had tackled a
rough customer. For somo minutes
tho scufTHng rtnd twisting was furious
nnd h6 wns not fairly Bubdued until a
puir of glistening handcuffs vyns
slipped upon his -wrists. The cold
stool took tho fight but of him und ho
was at onco escortod to the Hlngham
house,
It was qno of tho kind of conspir
acies that are n direct .fraud upon tho
Kpvetyiinput, and I yv.ns very anxious
to- r-eftcji Its Borneo,, which particularly
meant tbd engraver of tiio'plntcs from
which tho BtnmpB wore printed. I was
not, fl ljttlp surprised when (earned
tliat ,tho wholesale, dealer vvb had
caught, was joh'rt Hartz. ' This was the
nrstf'tlliio i had met hint. Ho hud for
several years initltitulncd'ti1 reputation
among tlfa dewotlvos as'a person who
could not under any circumstances be
made to squeal. 1 could well afford
to turn him loose If ho would furnish
tho Infqrniatlon loading to tho cap
turing of tho Important men behind
him.
The squealer lu cases of I his kind
Is usually tho most powerful adjunct
to tho detective art. While these olll
corB have llttlo respect for him thoy
aro dqllghted to iivnl) themselves of

that could not by somo niouns bo ln

until broad daylight without ellcltiuu
tho slightest information, f had o
ferod htm bis liberty and $1,000 in
money as an inducement, hut ho ntub
bornly refused Ho seemed to havo
deluded himself Into the Idea that
treachery among a gang of criminals
was much worse than the unlawful
deeds perfotnu'd by them
1 learned Irom the prisoner that ho
had a family. When this wns men
tioned he shuddered a little. Coming
to the conclusion that I could learn
nothing f i oin him I was ready to lock
him uii. Hefore doing this I suggested
tho Idea of taking him to seo his wife
and children Early In the morning
1 procured a curt Inge, and after a
20 minutes' drive wo stopped In front
of n largo tenement houso which wo
entered, ascending tho stalra to tho
second floor.
Knocking at a door to our right we
were after some delay admitted by a
woman wearing a calico wrapper, and
we entered the room which was dark
nnd dismal as a tomb Two or three
btokeu chalis. a tlckety table and a
mntticHs spread upon the floor and
covered with ragged quills, constl
tuted the furnishings
licuciith the tatteied
tho blight eyes and
Peeping from
covering I saw
curly heads of
two young children
"Is this your home
Mr. Hartz'" I
itiqiiltcd
"This Is where I stay," he replied.
1 snvv at once that I was up against
a species of allllctlon for which 1 had
no rcjidy-miide speech of condolence,
nnd I was ItiHt a little embarrassed
There wns a depth of seriousness In
tho affair that 1 bad rarely niut with.
I was confronted with the genuine
woes, of humanity and at a loss for
the moment to know Just what lo do
or suy After deliberating u short
time I came to the conclusion thnt It
was best to explain all to his wifo.
She looked like an Intelligent woman
and 1 proceeded to acquaint her with
the facts concerning her husband's ar
rest and the punishment that was sure
lo follow I likewise pointed out the
door through which he might escape.
.1 demanded a dean breast without
reserve I was to know all tho partic
ulars lu regard to the conspiracy, and
ln was to act In good faith and to ns
slst the detectlven In plans to cap
ture the engraver and all others con
nected whh tno nuair; nesiues, no
was, If It became necessary, to go up
on tho witness stand and testify
against his enpfeduraten. Counterfeit
ers ns a general thing aro troacherous
towurds one another when In n .tight
placo; It Is anything to save them
selves. With John Hartz It was dif
ferent; ho proforred to sacrlflco him
self rather than to give away his con
federates. When tho wifo wns mndo acquaint
ed with the proposition that had been
mndo to her husband she appealed to
him In languago that Boomed Irresist
ible He hung his head. There was an
expression on his faco that was In
definable. A fresh link In misery's
chain had now reached his heart.
Tho scene was absolutely painful and
I soon saw that ho was weakening.
A inan'B character varies In accord
ance with the position In which ho Is
placed. Criminals aro human, llko
our selves, nnd if wo would learn tho
dangers lurking In our pathway, wo
should know how they chance to
nt limbic and fall. Some men nro
weaker and more prone to vico than
others. There is a no vei -ending bat
tle between right and wrong. I nevor.
yet found a mnn so bad thnt there
was not something in his character
upon which to bnso a hope. I nover
yet saw n mnn Unit was so good as to
bo free from dnngor. There Is a
tin end of gold running through tho
charivjter, of th worst of mon; tho
dllllculty Is to reach It.
The prlsonqr"s eyqs foil and wcro
illlod with tearB. Wo have no pity for
tho tears shed by criminals. Thoy
aro deserved, but thoy nro tears Just
tho samo, Und sometimes come from a
heart unjustly pierced. His wifo now
approached him and Bald, "Whero 1b
tho monoy to como from to pay tho
rent for this rulsorablo room wo aro
living in? How am 1 to obtain food
and clothing for our children when
you nro In tho penitentiary?"
Accustomed as I was to scones of
this kind my heart waslceply touched
and my hand went almost Involuntari
ly to my pocket. I pulled out a roll of
bills' It was the government's monoy.
Peeling off live twenties, 1 hnnded
them to the womnn. "Tako thlB, my
good woman, I cannot save your hus
band, but I will glv you spmqthl"B
vith,iwblii to supply your Immediate
wuiitH. . ,Huy those, children somo
clothes" ,
I, handed. ,hor an additional twenty.
The cduitterfolt-er and his wife stood
looking earnestly Into ' each other's
faces. ' Hnth seethed' well nigh broken
hearted. Ho stepped towards mo as
he said: "You are the only decont
man I have ever seen In tho detective
unfitness and I am going to tell you
nil about It."
I have sqen crime in its many phases
and havo noted tho effect of a long
term of Imprisonment upon men as
thoy received their sentence, but John
Hartz appeared as tho most repentant
criminal 1 had ovor met. Ho had
been caught red-handed and could have
been daslly Convicted, but tho rosijlt
of his confession and assistance wns
