T ir E c o r R T E R 9 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 t.A.t-n Viv ! nnmA rf T-Tnrwlv 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 nould lead them off into the hills and shoot them down with the utmost pre- ! B8r - "$ A IN- m BBB9KH- ABB DETECTIVE JAMES MALONE 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."
