M rlhnronglis Se:tle Differ
ences With Kiog's Aid
London. Jan. 10? The newspapers,
tell us that the 1) ike and Duchess of
Marlborough (the lat'er was Miss Coo
sue'o Vanderbilt) have made up their
differences. King Edward is said to
have brought about the H-con^itliaiion.
As strange as it may seem to American
title- hunting papas and mamas, the
king found more difficulty in placating
the duchnss th<n he did the dake. In
fact, after the income from the Vander
bilt millions was taken away from hi
dukeiets he became very docile and
was ready for peace. Consuelo stood
upon her American spirit for a while
The king snubht? her but that nude
her more rig'd. Finally the king went
so far, it is said, to arrange a settle
ment anil restore the American monry
to the service of British nobility that
he almost bent bis royal dignity. Ei>
pleading succeeded where his snubs
had failed.
It Is hinted, unkindly to king and
duke, that the s?p,*ration of the duch
ess from her cbi'drea had mot e to t'o
with the rec -noilliation than had the
prosp ct of regaining royal favor vt

i How I Became a Detective ?
*
(Original.]
1 was born and brought ui> in the
.'ountry. When I oiuie to bo twenty
,>ne I held a consultation with myself
ind decided that 1 would east my lot
?vith city people. Having sulHclent
lunds to keep me while hunting for a
situation. I parked my traps, nok a
train for Chicago, found a lion .ding
?lace atul began my hunt.
One day when 1 came to my room in
the evening I found an envelope that
,iad been left for me by the postman?
I had left my address with the post
master? containing a simple advertis
ing card. I was about to throw both
ulo the wastebasket when 1 noticed
something written in lead pencil on the
,'ard. Takiug it to the light. I read:
4 ? 22 ? N - nth.
It seemed to me that some otic had
>een figuring ou the card, and again 1
started to throw it into I he wastebas
ket. Itut. having an hour before din
ner. with nothing to do but brood over
?jiy failure to obtain a situation, I sat
Jowu with it aud ntyused myself try
ng to puzzle out what the writer had
?cen figuring. Having nothing lo guide
me. I failed to make even a start.
W'heu I went down to dinner I left
he card on the table. On returning lo
ny room while debating whether I
vould put in the evening auir>ng the
ay crowds on the principal thorough
fares <ir in my room I took up the ad
vertising card and began to puzzle over
ho writing on It.
After considerable study 1 made up
ny mind that it concealed a message.
Suddenly a possible interpretation of
the 4 ? 22 occurred to me. The day
was April 2Hth. April was the fourth
mouth. and the 22d would l>e the day
ifter tomorrow. The next jxissible in
terpretation I reached was ."12' -j Gth.
which 1 decided meant :>42'~.> Sixth
street or aveuue. With these two
links I was not long in deciding that
In1 j X meant half past lit o'clock at
light, li' this was a correct decipher
ing something was to liappeu on the
22.1 ut' April at lutlf past 1" in the
.?veiling at o42'.j Sixth street or ave
?lue. Tl.ere was no Sixth avenue in
-Le City, so it must be Sixth street.
1 w: s >. t curious in the matter that
? ? ->pt at once to visit :U2' Sixth
?cer. it' there was a half number I
? poet toy interpretation to he
v.-t. I was astouuilcd to find the
i:l!l ultiuikT. 1 could scarcely believe

twelve Act front, a very old brick
shanty. There was no light in It. and
it was liH'kfd tight.
It otvurmi to 1110 that if the person
for whom the enril was intended did
not get it the scheme? if ? it was a
scheme- would In* spoiled. So tin- next
Jay 1 returned it to the pintofflce. I
was between two horns of a dilemma
The first was. Should 1 an to the po
lice with a story thai would almost
certainly prove me a fool? and the see
ond was to watch a l< ?ue to see if any
thing hapitened. 1 ?**ii t two days of
wearing indecision, and when the
night of ih.- 22d came on I had come
to 110 inuelusion. At o'cloek 1 went
to the building In question* and wait
etl. It tuny seem that 1 should have
notithnl the police, but who except a
crack brained fool would have made a
case even for suspicion out of such
gauzy evidence?

lOrlKiiuil.j
"The tirui name was Sliirls & SUinn,"'
said the retired hardware dealer, "and
we didn't got on from the start 1
bad a good trade and was obliged to
be ou the road most of the time. This
left the I >u.v luj: to my partner. Tiie
trouble was that ho wasn't nay kind of
: a buyer. If a salesman came along
with a cock and bull story about a
sh-k wife and a dozen or so starving
children Shinn would buy a bill of
goods of 1dm whether we wanted them
or not. The consequence was that ev
ery lime T came in I found the stock
growing in spite of m.v efforts to re
duce it.
"Well, the result of it all was that
weeping drummers finally succeeded
!u turning the store into a junk shop,
and we had to <|tiit. Shinn. as he
should have done, offered to stand the
loss, giving i:p all the capital he'd put
j lu. acknowledging that the outcome
bad been entirely his fault. If I could
have closed up at once his money
would have been just enough to square
us, with no loss to me. but the very
day wo closed alow: comes a one leg
ged commercial traveler lie called him
self? consumptive. wheezing through
one lung, mi l Shinn had tit order a
$."?!*> bill of him. We dosed the order
out at a I Hint fit) cents on the dollar,
making a deficiency of $187.42. This
Shinn Agreed .to pay as soon he was
able.
Shiun was n bachelor mm removed i
from his rooms in an apartment house
to a little shanty. I sent a man around J
to collect Ills indebtedness. ]iut he came I
hack empty handed. I sent another
with orders to lie more persistent, and
lie came hack, reporting that tli? door
had Ih-oii slaniined in his face. I used
to see Shimi occasionally on the street.
He looked morose and shabby. One
day I saw him give a quarter to a beg
gar. That made me mad. If he had
money t<> give such nuisances he had it I
to pay his honest debts. 1 hired a'reg- '
ular fighting collector and sent him
round to Shinn's shanty. He came
back with his head bandaged up, a
black eve aud a swelled lip. to say
nothing of (he loss of a suit of clothes.
"I hired several men in succession to
go and set into the house and stay
there till Shiun came down with the
limds. The tirst one that came back I
reported he'd been thrown out, the sec- |
ond shared the same fate and the third !
aud the fourlh and so on likewise.
"Then It occurred to me that I'd send '
a woman. You see, a man can't tk'ht a ;
woman, and there never was a woman ;
yet that couldn't get the better of a '
man if she wanted to. There was 110 I
woman's collecting agency in the town, ?
so I told several friends of mine that
III give hall tiii? debt to auy woman)
who'd collect it
"About a month after making the I
aiiujuncemeiil a young good looking!
Woman came to see me and said she'd '
heard 1 wanted a debt collected of !
l'ercy Shitui. She didn't look like a
business woman at ail. l>ttt I concluded ;
to try Iter. So 1 gave her an order for
the money and started her out.
"li was o'clock when she left me, '
aud I waited with a good deal of anx- !
iety to tearu how Shiun would meet '
"li* ,H"V enemy, i expected lier back i
in about an hour, four o'clock came, !
but no collector ? it. 7. aud she'
didn't show up. in fact, she didn't
show up that uight nor the next day
nor the next nor the next. A week
passed, and I began U? think Shiun had
murdered her. Funny, wasn't It? Ev
er? man I d sent had come back after j
having been thrown out: the only wo
man I'd sent didn't come back at "all.
"Then I 'fancied may lie the woman '
had collected the money or a part of It
and gone off with it. At the same time
it occurred to me that I had stupidly
omitted to take her address. 1 #ou
eluded to notify the police and started
out to do SO. but thought I'd take a
look on the way at Shinn's house. So
I went a roundabout way aud brought
up opposite the shanty. Somehow it
didn't look so tumbledown as before
There were white Iiollnud *hades in the
windows tfi'l a few (lowers in the vard
In front.
A woman came out of a house uear
where I wits standing, and I asked her
who lived In the house opposite. She
said, -Mr. Shlnn.' 'Any oue with him?'
Ilis wife. -i didn't know he was
married. 'He wasn't a short time
ago. There's a story connected with
it. Mr. Shinn owed some old curmudg
eon some money and sent a young wo
i ma.n to collect It. She was real smart.
( She toid him she was to get half the
amount collected; that she was the on
ly support of a widowed mother and
seven brothers and sisters. She gave
{ such a pitiful picture that Rhinu. who
bad been a long while starving himself
to pay the debt and had just saved the
last penny, went and got it and gav?
It to her. You see somebody had told
her what kind of a man Shinn was.
She was so cut up by his lovable man
ner that she told him to keep the mon-*
ey for all her, and he said he would
keep it till his creditor came for It
himself. It was one of the quickest
matches I ever heard of. They only
knew each other a week beforothey
, were married.'
"This was the story given out. Years
after 1 heard the true one. The wo
man was an old sweetheart of Shinn's
who had refused him. On hearing of
his condition she bad gone, disguised,
ostensibly to collect the monev.
Knowing his soft spot, she had made
up the yarn. Then she threw off her
i disguise, and theiv \\;as a circus.
"Yes. f got Hie money? every cost
due. I w*it for it myself."
