V Myaterloos Disappearance A Family
Asalcted "With Bigamy Some Very
Clever Detective Work Which
Restored a Missing Son.
T"he writer finds in his note-book the
subjoined, story as related to him by the
detective, from whose diary many nar
ratives already published in these col
mns have been taken:
V&er. J)r. Gleig wan the son of a man
of good family, but poor. Dr. Gleig
went into the church and had to con
tent himself with a small living. He
married an amiable but portionless
girl, and the result of the marriage was
one son.
"About a year before the beginning
of this narrative Dr. Gleig had been
mitten with paralysis, two strokes in
succession depriving him of the use of
his limbs, and leaving him an almost
helpless imbecile. The physicians were
at first in hopes of his restoration, pro
Tided he could be tided over a year or
two without another attack, but at the
expiration of nine months an unfavor
able change occurred, and it was evi
dent he might be taken, off suddenly at
anytime.
. "When Dr. Gleig married he was
about the tenth removed from the heir
ship to a large estate. One by one the
nearer heirs died oft. The sickness of
Dr. Gleig had diverted his family's
thoughts from all other subjects, and
theywere, therefore, somewhat aston
ished when they were notified thai there
was but one person between him and a
vast property, and that one an old man
of seventy-nine.
A DISAPPEARANCE.
"George, the doctor's son, was at
Oxford, where ho had only recently
matriculated, being in his nineteenth
year. On February 25, 1863, he disap
peared, leaving behind him no clew.
His mother used every means to dis
cover the whereabouts of the boy,
without, however, giving the matter
publicity. Three weeks later Dr. Gleig
came into possession of the estate worth
twenty thousand pounds sterling a
year, with a fine mansion in Yorkshire
and another in Leicestershire. From
that time his wife spent large sums of
money to find out her missing son.
In June she employed me, through a
London attorney, to undertake the
task, and I at once went to work.
The first thing I did was to go to
Oxford and make inquiries among his
associates' there, They knew positively
nothing', and referred me to the servant
who had waited upon the young man.
I founds him living in a comfortable
dwelling,"; and answerfng to the name
of "-Sinker. He had a shy way with
him and did not seem to enjoy my
questioning him.
" " rf A SPECIAL MAN. ,
'To tell you the truth, sir,'-' he said,
I was very sick at the time Mr.- Gleig
disappeared', and had been for over a
month, so that I was relieved "from duty
. aad another man was put in my place.
That is ,to say, another man did his own
work and' part of mine, too, but as Mr.
Gleig was very particular, I employed
a'special man to attend to him.1
" 4Who was he?' I asked, thinking it
very strange at the outset that George
Gleig, whose father had 'had -to scrape
and hoard to send him to the Univer
sity and who was described by all as a
youth of such modest and careful ways,
should have gone to the expense of an
other servant for of course he would
have to pay him.
"His name,1 said Binker, I forget.
He was recommended by a particular
friend of mine, and that was all I knew
of him.1
" Who was the friend who recom
mended him?1 1 inquired; 'perhaps he
might know more about the man.
" Ah,' said Binker, my friend went
to London, where he got a situation
about the docks.1
A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE.
" What sort of a looking man was
this person who waited on Mr. Gleig?1
I asked. -
" tHe was short and thin, I believe,1
replied Binker, 'and about twenty or
thirty years of age, with red hair and a
clean-shaven face, and spoke like a for
eigner.1 "I went back to the college and saw
one of George's most intimate associ
ates. The description he gave of Bink
er substitute was the very reverse of
'that furnished by Binker. The man,
said the student, was over fifty, 'tall and
stout, with black hair and a full black
beard, and spoke excellent English.
'"I went to Binker's once more and
asked1 him when he resumed his duties
after his sickness. Singularly enough,
it was the very iday after George Gleig
had disappeared February 26.
" 'Did yo:i see your substitute after
your return:"
" 'No, I did not,1 was the answer.
"'Arid you have never seen
ace, or heard of him?1 1 asked.
"I have not,1 he answered.
"Further inquiry showed that George
Gleig and Binker's substitute -disap-
peared from public gaze at the same
Usaa. After some trouble I found the j
place where the substitute had lodged, j
aad discovered that he passed under
the name of Brown. A crown piece
pat ase.on pleasant terms with the old j
lady who kept the "house. She said
that all xhe time Brown staid there with j
Us daughter, .Binker was -a freqaeatj
tenor, sometimes staying late iato tie
' -sat allowed warn to see them
ccapted by Brown, and yoti may de
pend upon it I rummaged for some
fragment-that might help me.to a clew.
But I didn't find any. Oa leavinethe
house, however, I found the old lady
with a letter in her hand.
'"This,1 said she, 'came for Mr
Brown the very day after he left1
"I examined the envelope. It was.in
a lady's hand, and bore the Shrewsbury
postmark. I should have liked to see
the inside, hut that couldn't be,, and so
I gave it back to the old lady, after a
very careful scrutiny. I went to my
hotel and set to worst to reproduce that
envelope and all it contained. With' a
little ingenuity I made an envelope that
would pass muster. Then I manufac
tured an inside, and the letter I returned
to her wasthe counterfeit. WfienI
reached my "hotel I sliE the envelope
and drew forth the paper it contained.
It was a blank! I scrutinized it closely,
and finally held It up to the light. The
riddle was solved. These words were
distinctly visible:
"We are very anrlouirabout you. Why
don't you write? Jakk.
"This told me nothing, but the en
velope showed me that-the letter came
from Shrewsbury. Thither! went f
course, I was not such a fool as to be
lieve that Mr. Brown at Oxford would
be Mr. Brown at Shrewsbury, but I was
n hopes that something might turn up
at the latter place to throw light upon
the mystery I was attempting to solve.
The day after my arrival J saw a gen
tleman enter a bank whom Ideter-.
mined to examine a little more closely.
On his returning to the street I scrutin
ized him, and thought he answered
Browns description. , z
'"L ascertained that his name was
Bignall, and that he resided in the sub
urbs. T found further that ho was f or
merly a strolling dentist, going from
one town to another practicing his pro
fession, and that while at Shrewsbury
he had had for a patient a widow, who
resided with her son and two daughters
in the outskirts of the town, where her
husband had left her an annuity of six
hundred pounds sterling a year. He
had married the widow and resided
there ever since. I laid a little plot- I
wrote a note to Mr. Bignall and-signed
it Binker, telling him that business of
the utmost importance to him had
brought mo to Shrewsbury, and that he
must meet Binker at the Red Cross Inn
at seven o'clock that evening. True to
the minute,Jurr. Bignall appeared, and
seemed greatly perturbed when no
Birfkerwas forthcoming. After mak
ing many inquiries, and waiting for
over two hours, ho went away.
"Naturally after he was gone, the
townspeople in the bar began to talk
about Mr. Bignall.
" 'It was a lucky thing for him when
he married the Widow Gleig,1 some one
said.
4I started and unwittingly exclaimed,
The Widow QleigP Then it was ex-
Elained, and I soon learned that Mrs.
lignall was the widow of theyounger
brother of Rev. Dr. Gleig. Here was
a most unexpected discovery, and, be
sure, I made the most of it On Dr.
Gleig's death, which might occur at
any moment, his son George would fall
heir to the property, and if George was
removed the next heirwould be the son
of Mr. Bignall's wife!
"I felt now that I was on the right
track. I went to Leicestershire,
whither I heard Dr. Gleig and his wife
had removed, and saw Mrs. Gleig. Had
she a photograph of George? Unfor
tunately she had not Could she de
scribe him accurately? She thought
she could, but sadly blundered over it
Was he like her or Dr. Gleig? Liko
her? Yes, she had a photograph of
herself takon just before her marriage,
to which George bore a striking resem
blance. I got the likeness, went to
Leicester and had a dozen copies made.
I took with me to Dr. Gleig's residence,
near Sileby, the best portrait painter I
oould find in Leicester. He cut out the
face of the photograph and pasted it on
card-board. Then he drew and painted
the bust of a young man to match the
head, using a coat of George's to so
by. Next, following Mrs. Gleig's de
scription, he added the hair as George
was accustomed to wear his, and
painted it a light brown. A touch here
and there, and Mrs. Gleig declared that
it was the image of her son. Domes?
tics recognized it instantly, and, when
shown to Dr. Gleig, his dim eye bright
ened, and he made a painful effort to
clutch it There was no doubt in my
mind that I had got a good likeness of
the missing youth.
"Half a dozen" likenesses were pre-
Jared in the same way, and I departed,
went straight to Shrewsbury, to find
that Mr. Bignall had left by train that
very morning for London. Hw was
three hours ahead of me. I rushed to
the -telegraph office and sent this mes
sage to my assistant:
44 Look out for a man; six foet; stout; black
hair; full, black beard; well dressed, with a
prominontno.se. Follow and watch. He will
reach London and N. W. Depot by train due
at 3:48. I will be on by 6:03. Send word, so
that I may find you.'
"I had an hour or so to spare, and
so I went to Mr. Bignall's residence
and asked to see him. He was not' at
home. Mrs. Bignall wanted to know
my business, and I s.iid it was private.
She grew fidgety and put many ques
tions, but all to no purpose. Then she
said she didn't expect Mr. Bignall home
for a week. I bade her good-day, and
went to the depot The train was on
time, and I reached the London, depot
at the hour specified. Here a messen
ger awaited me with a note. Mr. Big
nall had gone to No. Chapel street,
Islington, and my assistant was on the
watch. At that number 1 ascertained
lived a Mr. Brown and his wife and
daughter. The daughter had recently
got married and gone away, said the
grocer. Had he seen the bridegroom?
O, yes; he was a very young, good
looking fellow. Anything Tike this
portrait? That was the man without a
question. What like a man was Mr.
Brown? Tall, stout, dark hair and
beard, and so forth. Was he much
away from home? A great deal, and
he had just returned that afternoon,
after a long absence.
THE LITTLE PLOT.
"Then Mr. Bignall was Mr. Brown
in reality, and had two wives, and he
had married the heir to a handsome
estate to his daughter! That was the
little plot
"I called on Mr. Brown and saw Mr.
Bignall. His son-in-law, I said, re
quested me, as I was cominsr to town.
i to hand Mrs. Brown that likeness of
him. Mrs. Brown was delighted. Mr.
Brown smiled all over, and offered me
fin. I was going back that evening
ad they anything to send? Yes. cer-
tainly, if I would be so kind. A parcel
was put up and handed to me.
"Suppost, now,' I said, 'I was to
forget this on the train. It has no ad
dress, and would be thrown aside or
appropriated.1
'That is so,1 said Mr. Brown, and
he wrote an address upon it in a bold
hand:
"Mas. Gixia,
- 'No. 23 St. George's Terrace,
"' Gravesend.
"I bade them good-by, and was on
xnv wav to Gravesend in two minntna
hinr.il caught the 7:90 train at. London
Bridge, and at 8:15 was standing at the
door of No. 23 St George's Terrace.

"The next minute I was in tn nnw.

wife was not present
'Mr. Gleig,1 1 said, feeling justified
in lying, 'your father is dead, and your
presence at home is required iramedi-
ately.'
"The young fellow burst into tears
aad upbraided himself bitterly for not
being at his father's bedside in the last
laaoients. l urged hue to control

my wife with me.1
"You mu3t not,1 I said; 'I knowi

more pain than you have already done

see that his father recognized him.
THE SEQUEL.
'Well! Can you guess the rest?
Rimal or Brown was a bieramist to
jbegin with. Alter he. married Mrs.
Gleig, he learned all aoouc ine estate
to which Dr. Gleig, her brother-in-law,
was heir, and his condition toward the
last When he was gone George would
inherit,, and suppose before then he
married Miss Brown? Brown went
to Oxford, put up the job with Binker;
and once with George Gleig under his
eye, he soon managed the rest He
brought his daughter, who was a dash
ing blonde, to Oxford and, took care
that George should 'see her. The girl
had learned her lesson and .knew what1
a big fish she might hook. She led the
youth on until at last he yielded and
made him' her abject slave. The'n in
came the'outraged father, weeping and
forgiving, and was about to tear away
his daughter and 'send her to an insti
tution. She wept and clung to George,
and George swore'he wouldnever leave
her, and then it was proposed he should
marry her. They took the midnight
train for London, disguised, and next
day the father took care to see his
daughter safely married. That done,
he dispatched the new couple to his
sister's at Gravesend to await develop
ments. "What became of George's wife?
Well, it so happened that she had an
other husband with a prior claim to
George's. In hunting up testimony
against Bignall for bigamy, I found it
ran in the family. We let the girl go,
but the father was convicted at the Old
Bailey and went into retirement for
seven years.11 Cincinnati Enquirer.
THE FAIR OF IZAMAL.
Ceremonies Attendant Upon the Occasion
Yucatan Bull-Fight.
On the 8th of December the festival
of Our Lady of Izamal is celebrated
with great pomp. A large fair is also
held in the city during those days in
her honor. Even merchants from
neighboring States flock there, if not
to kneel at the shrine of the Virgin, to
worship at the altar of Mercury. De
votees on those occasions crowd the
private apartment of the doll, which is
also carried in solemn procession,
decked in gorgeous array, and followed
by a long train of worshippers.
After church service is over, all leave
in a hurry and rush to the bull-fight
Many of the Indians, who know abso
lutely nothing about tauromachy, enter
the ring to light the bull, exposing
themselves to be injured for life, or die
a painful death. In this we see an
ancient custom yet prevalent The
ancients sacrificed their lives to deities!
for any benefit received. To-day an!
Indian begs a favor of his patron saint,
and as a proof of his deep gratitude.'
prqmises to fight- a bull, keep drunk a
certain number of days, or do some
other rash thing.
Bull-fighting in Yucatan is not like
bull-fighting in Spain. The ring is a
double palisade sustaining sheds cov
ered with palm leaves, that are divided
into boxes. Every one provides his
own seat The best and the worst, big
and small, all attend the bull-fight
Those who,, on foot, merely play with
the bull, only have a henequen sack to
serve as shield. Others, also on foot,
are provided with poles about three feet
long, having a sharp iron head, like
that of an arrow, called rejon. When
the people are tired of seeing the bull
played with, they call for the rejoneros.
Those with the spears described then
come forward. Their business is to
strike the bull in the nape and kill it,
but it is seldom done at once. The
beast is chased by two or three men,
blow after blow is dealt, the blood
gushing afresh each time. The first
ain makes the animal furious, but the
oss of blood soon weakens it, and it
becomes almost harmless. Then the
horsemen are called to lasso it and
drag it away. While another bull is
being fetched rockets are fired, the
people applaud, the band plays, a clown
meanwhile doing his best to amuse thq
spectators. If a bull is disinclined to
fight, they gird his body with ropes in
every possible way, fastening fire
crackers about his head ad tail. Ag
gravated and tortured, the poor beast
jumps about and the crackers explode
to the great delight of all present, big
and small, This renders it furious for
a few minutes; but if it again refuses to
fight it is taken away as a coward not
worth killing. Alice D. It Plongeon, in
Harper's Magazine.
BENGAL.
How Christmas Is Celebrated In That An
tipodal Country.
At sunrise the ever-grateful cup of tea is
conveyed to each before rising through
the medium of the ayah or bearer,
and by and by the guests drop into the
veranda to enjoy t!ie only fresh air of
the day, and partake of the cltota hazri
(little breakfast) which is already wait
ing. Coffee and tea, with toast, eggs
and fowl, are the usual items of this
meal, and while engaged with it you
get a view from between the veranda
pillars of a dead level country, with
patches of jungle here and there amid
wide tracts of cultivated land, while in
the foreground stretches a velvety com
pound interspersed with ornamental
banyan and india rubber trees, clumps
of bamboos, shrubs and flowers. Wind
ing along the avenue presently appear
four great elephants, which soon draw
up in front of the bungalow, and ayahs,
bearers and children, suddenly entering
on the scene, turn everything into com
motion. Servants hurry to and fro
with guns, ammunition and sporting
gear, which the sportsmen see safely
deposited in the howdahs; and, lastly,
they themselves mount bya swing on
the elephant's trunk, orby the rope
ladder that hangs from the side of the
howdah, and the mahout gets the order
to march. The ladies and children are
to. join them at breakfast a few hours
later at the camp pitched on the hunting-ground.
Meanwhile, to pass the
time, some of the ladies saunter down
to the garden under an archway of
acacia and other tropical trees that line
the avenue; while through the leafy
canopy glances the genial sun of the
cold season, with pleasant warmth,
illuminating beautiful flowering creep

RUNNING AWAY.
A Short Story Showing That There Are
Worse Places for a Boy Than His Home.
This is not exactly the season of the
year for boys to run away from home
out IE is gciuug bu uvya iuu away more
or less at .all seasons of the year, and
since there is so much said in the papers
about the warm climate in the South,
where people can eat oranges and loll
in the shade in-January, andthe New
Orleans Exposition is holding out glit
tering inducements to visitors to go
South, where they will be able to wear
linen dusters, in the winter, there are
many boys 'who are becoming restless
at home, and 'a good many will run
away this winter, no doubt A boy
who reads papers, 'and thinks he is
posted about things away from home,
gjets "tired of doing chores with', the
thermometer twenty degrees below
zero, and he yearns for a warm climate.
He goes to bed at night with his fingers
and toes cold, from working in" the
barn among cattle and horses,Jand as
be undresses in a cold room in the gar
ret,' and jumps into. a' cold bed, and,
feels 'the wind and snow coming m the
cracks, sees the frost on the glass, and
bears the wind whistle, he dreams of. a
land that 'is fairer than this, and some
day he takes a change of clothes, and
with money enough to buy a ticket a
thousand, miles or so South, he leaves
the old home 'and goes out into the
world to get warm. Nine times in ten
it is made so warm for him that ho
would give all he possesses to be home,,
cold as that home is. There are proba
bly a thousand boys under twenty years
of age from the North in New Orleans
to-day, without a-cent of money, living
on what they can pick up. A gentle
man just returned from there, says 'he'
lent all the money he could spare to
Joung, fellows from Milwaukee,, who
ad gone down there expecting, to get
some erood naviner job. but'couldnMr
find anvthin? to do. Thev have found:
the warm climate, but even in a warm
climate a person wants some kind of
victuals to bank himself up inside, and'
he has got to have a place to sleep
in doors, as there is a cold
rain falling almost constantly
at this season of the 'year,
which chills one to the marrow of his
bones. Bunning away from home is
fun as long as the money lasts that a
boy takes with him. Aslong as he has
money he can get enough to eat and
a place to sleep, but when the money
s gone he becomes a tramp. "What
is the reason that he can't work?"
some boys will ask. Because there is
no work to do. In almost every com
munity there are residents enough to
do all the work there is to be done, and
if a man wants-to hire a boy he hires
one he knows, who lives near him, in
preference to a stranger, whom he half
suspects is a thief. It is hard enough
for a boy or a man to get work where
he is known, when there is little work
to be done, and a hundred times harder
to get work when one is tramping. A
man wants to know something about
the person he hires, and if a boy ap
plies for work and is asked where he
is from and how he came to leave, he
docs not want to say he ran away
from home, forlhat is a give away on
him, and if he lies about it the man
don't want lo hire a liaf. There are
probably more boys running away to
follow theaters and shows than any
thing else. The idea of traveling from
place to place with a theatrical com
pany seems heaven to ar great many
boys, and they would take a position
in a menial capacity in order to be on
the road. Boys who think that home is
not the best place on earth, and who
may be thinking of leaving, are re
quested to read the following letter
which a Philadelphia father recently
got from his son:
'Washinqtoit Asylum, D. C 1
Sunday Deoember 7, 1884. f
Dear Father, -Mother and Sister: I
hope you are all well, as this letter leayet
me at present. Dear father, I left Phila

could not meet it there, but I got a place at
another theater. But I did not have any
money, so I bad to sleep on one of the rail
road cars. Tbere were three of us who left
Philadelphia. As I told yon before, we slept
on the railroad car, and two policemes
arrested us. The three of us are in tbc
work-house. We are working very hard
We go to bed whenever we like after dark
But we hare to get up at half-past four in

So send it if you have got to pawn every

JAPAN CHILD NAMING.
The Singular Costoin in the Far East ol
Giving Names Ordinarily Given to Infknti
of the Opposite Sex.
Old-fashioned people in many dis
tricts of Japan, to whose families death
has made frequent visits, still resort, in
their anxiety to prolong the lives ol
their children, to the custom of be
stowing upon their offspring names or
dinarily given to infants of the oppo
site sex. Probably the superstition is
more widely prevalent than foreigners
would suppose, but it is only when
some incident or story in connection
with its observance is reported in the
vernacular papers that the majority be
come aware of the existence of the old
custom. ATokio paper tells a story
in point Some time ago, a man
named .Kano, living at Kameicho,
Nihonbashi, Tokio, received an intima
tion from the authorities that his eldest
son, Bnnnosukc a name always ap
plied to males having attained mili
tary age, steps should at once be taken
with a view to the young man under
going medical examination prior to

makes them firm. The outside is made
of plate, about one-third, and the in
side about one-tenth as thick as the

because the wear is greater on the out

A NOTABLE RESTAURANT.
Oae of the Carious Low atlag- Houses of
Paris.
Some forty years ago Paris could
boast of some very curious low eating
houses, or gargotes, and cheap ones to
boot There was an establishment in
the Rue de la Mortellerie appropriate,
lugubrious name that perhaps bad no
equaranywhere. It consisted of along,
corridor-like hall, on the ground floor;
it was neither paved nor flagged; you
believed yourself in the street only the
ceiling assured you there was some
thing between you and the sky. The
table was fixed to the ground by solid
posts of wood in masonry; the leaf of
the table was a long block of wood,
pierced at intervals, like a school desk
for ink-bottles, in which a hole had
been excavated4 and then lined with
tin; opposite each of these holes was a
kind of rustic stool, serving for an
arm-chair. The walls were hung with
pictures of reigning sovereigns, and
battle-pieces. Body and mind were
thus provided with nutriment; it was a
restaurant-school. The school, how
ever, cost nothing, the feast of reason
was uncharged for, but the meal meant
nine sous. When any of the ancestors
of the Rothschild family dined there,
they gave the waitress one sou a gra
tuity was not obligatory. -The client
on taking his seat had his soup "laid
on" by means of a syringe arrangement
connecting the soup-coppers with the
sunken, tin-lined cavity in the table; as
he commenced to eat he was expected
to pay. It was no use saying you had
forgotten your purse, or would return
the next day; no pay, no pater noster;
the syringe was again - brought into
requisition, and syphoned the vsoup
back into the boilers with the rapidity
of a disappearing meal in a pantomime..
But if the customer was able to meet
his bill like an honorable man, after the
soup was supplied he was given a junk
of bread, which had been fresh the day
before. Dipping this bread in the soup,
and the latter disposed of, the waitress
next threw into the hole a morsel of
beef, not bad if your teeth were not
affected with the palsy, and then fol
lowed an iron fork, wich she wiped
by drawing through her closed finger
and thumb, or her shut hand and all
was said. The Paris Caterer.
