A DETECTIVE'S TALE
L Occasionally it falls to the lot of a
B (jetectlve to have a somewhat exciting
experience, perhaps not such as may
I be seen depicted in a few pages for
I five cents, but anyway one that gives
f him some little thrills of excitement
whether it does as much anybody
else or not.
The pursuit and capture of a bad
man. a murderous outlaw whom every
body feared, was once upon a time
ik. n-isslnir nleasure of Detpptivp
James Maione of the Lincoln police
force. This was in the days of the
ton? ago, comparatively, when he was
in the detective service of the
Burlington exclusively. A man

Andy had just killed a Burling
ton bridgeman near Hot Springs, S.
D. He was a desperate character and
had killed more than one man. "When
he officers would try to get him he

shoot them down with the utmost pre-

cision and dispatch, so that everybody
was afraid of him. The sheriff at the
time of this last killing declared he
would have nothing to do with the
case and he did not.
Detective Maione asked permission
of the railroad authorities to explore
the hills for the desperado. He said
if he but had the permission he would
so out Into the wilderness and not
fail to bring back his man. The au
thorities were not backward with their
consent, seeing it was his wish, but
the sheriff told him he would be
killed, sure as fate. Going before a
court Mr. Maione was sworn in and
Presented with a warrant that gave
Mm permission to bring in the man
head or feet foremost, one as good
as the other.
Fully prepared for any emergency
le detective sallied forth to com
mence his search. Reaching the town
k which Andy was last seen he com
menced a campaign of inquiry among
the Inhabitants to see what he might
find out with regard to the circum
stances of the murder and the course
f the murderer to the hills, his habits
and associates. Here was the first
strange difficulty. Not a soul he talked
with but was familiar with the man
br name or by sight and yet not a
fford would they vouchsafe him. Ev
erybody was as frightened as death
t talking should incur the fatal
th of the outlaw. It was only af
ter a long siege of patient questioning
and research that he was enabled to
'earn a few trifling facts on which to
be further action. The upshot was
"at he discovered the haunt of the
lfe of the outlaw. To her he repre
sented that he was in search of her
""isband to secure an amicable settle
ment of the trouble and he so man-
,W as to elicit her sympathy with
" effort.
Among other things she informed
h'm of some Inkling of his where
abouts. Then he set out for the still
further Interior. He did his traveling
in the night time lest he should be dis
covered and shot from some concealed
eminence and during the day time
passed the hours in sleep where he
might not be discovered. At last he
came in view of a little tent in which,
from the information he had gleaned,
he knew he had come at last upon his
quarry. Examining his Winchester
and trusty revolvers he sought hidden
retirement to wait for night fall. When
he was convinced his game was sound
ly sleeping in trusted security he care
fully made his way to an overhanging
bluff a short distance from the tent
and waited for daylight. It was then
his expectation that Andy would wan
der out for a whiff of fresh morning
and walk into the trap. Morning came
and the detective crept stealthily down
the steep slope to get nearer the tent.
Before he could picket himself as he
wished a light breeze wafted open the
tent flap and there a woman, the wife
he had bamboozled, looked squarely
at him as he stood with his Winches
ter poised. The game was up. he knew,
and now he was surely in for trouble.
He could not have gone back to the
summit had he wished, so he just
tumbled down sprawling toward the
tent and flinging back the swinging
fold jammed his "Winchester into the
chest of the sleepy Andy as he was
rising from a Buffalo robe to make
for his Winchester in the corner of
the tent.
"Hold up your hands or I'll kill you:
hold them up I say." and the reluctant
desperado obeyed. Then holding the
gun against the man's chest with one
hand the detective fixed the shackles
with the other. Mr. Maione says it
would have been all up with him had
the gun stood near and the man's re
volver been under hl pillow instead
of under the robe. After a precarious
trip to civilization again with the cap
tive, in which numerous turns and
doublings were necessary to avoid peo
ple who might have sought to rescue
the prisoner. Mr. Maione had the sat
isfaction of seeing the man sentenced
to eight years' imprisonment, hanging
being not one of the law's customs
there for capital offenses.

"From the examples of American en
ergy cited as regards the sale of sew
ing machines, typewriters, cameras, bi
cycles and graphophones In various and
distant parts of the world, the infer
ence appears to be warranted that the
American exporter is sweeping the
deck. He is certainly getting the lion's
share of the market for inventions that
are peculiarly American or which
Americans have improved upon, and
in machinery and stee! products his
superiority Is conceded, and he is do
ing a tremendous business at pres
ent. The American Bridge company se
cured the contract for thirty-four via
ducts on the Uganda railway; an
American company constructs the fa
mous Atbara bridge on Kitchener's
Soudan railway;the Allison Manufac
turlng company sends eleven passen
ger coaches, twenty-two freight cars
and 3.500 tons of steel rail3 in one ship
ment to Spain; the Norwegian govern
ment awards the Pennsylvania and
Maryland steel companies a contract
for 11.S0O tons of steel rails; the Pitts
burg Locomotive works sells twenty
freight locomotives to the Indian state
railways; the Richmond Locomotive
works send twelve ten-wheeled passen
ger locomotives to the Finland state
railways; a New York linn Alls an or
der for the plant of a great machine
shop In Spain, the items covering sev
enteen typewritten pages, one of which
is u traveling electric crane, the
Pressed Steel Car company of Pitts
burg equips the Paris, Lyons and Medi
terranean railway with one hundred
cars; the Victorian (Australian) rail
way orders 20,000 tons of steel rails
from the Illnois Steel company; the
Baldwin Locomotive works send twenty-two
locomotives to the government
railways of New Zealand; the Sandusky
Tool company crates 12,000 planes for
shipment to China. These great con
tracts are Impressive, and when Mr.
Andrew Carnegie, exulting over such
evidences of our industrial superiority,
says that 'the nation which makes the
cheapest steel has the other nations
at Its feet as far as manufacturing
in most of its branches Is concerned,"
we ought to have no misgivings about
the future. Nevertheless, as regards
a thousand and one miscellaneous pro
ducts In which the American manu
facturer excels he Is making com
paratively little impression on the
foreign market, because of his Inexperi
ence as an exporter. He packs his
goods carelessly; declines to give
credit; fails to study the needs and
tastes of the foreign customer (which
the English and Germans never fall
to do); mails dreams-of-art' catalogues
to the other side of the world, instead
of sending a live salesman to repre
sent him and exhibit samples of his
goods; omits to arrange for banking
facilities like those his rivals estab
lished long ago; ships in other than
American bottoms, and therefore pays
extortionate rates; and allows himself
to be tricked, cheated and imposed up
on in every foreign market. Some of
these embarassments under present
conditions he cannot obviate, but others
are due to a self-sufficiency which was
cultivated In a home market that never
failed him until he produced more than
the American people could consume.
Whenever he has had a valuable ar
ticle to sell and has established agen
cies for the sale of It In other coun
tries, as he should do In the case of
every manufacture for which there is
a foreign demand, handsome returns
have rewarded him." II. E. Armstrong
In Ainslee's.
