Tb, at wss when .Acton , and Kennedy made it too hptfpr both the politicians and the thieves r. We used to boast -at that time that we had the best police force in the world Well. "Cali-- co Chrley'lweriWHp for ten years for helping - to f crsckvoli Oppenheimer's place there in ; the Bowery It was tn unlucky job for him all through, and as 1 ' was one or the apeciais thai ."piped and took him, arid as I had known him off and on for a long time before that, it was just like me one day, when I was up at Sing Sing, to go . over to the atone quarry and get the keeper to let me have a talk with him. I got bis whole history He.waan t one of your common, cracks men : not a bit or it. tie was too smart by a long shot for that sort of thing - Don t vou run awav witn a notion inaf burglars are such awful smart chaps That's a queer idea that people , get out of the story papers. Let me tell you thst I've had nigh onto', fifteen years' chance t6 find out, and I'vebeyer , seen one that wouldn't run his head into a slip npose' the minute'he bad the least luck. . 0, po. .1 heard the'chaplaiii say once.over to the is!and,tbat a man whose mind 'and , body were all right wouldn't be a Ibief no more n a bealtby fellow d he a pauper! There's always something the matter with em; a twist in 'em some where that knocks 'em flat when a sound man gets after 'em.r' ' :v .!?'?! v ' : Calico Charley," I was going to aay, was ; pretty much of an ekceptiob.'He was brought up well; his father wa one of the best machinists in tliecoantry.and be tock more pains' to make a mad of hie boy than the fellow deserved.1 ' The old man had a little place down there In Maiden Lane when I was a shaver, I 're collect it welt1, It was a kind of tasehftre shop -where1 he made and Bold three or four tricks he'd invented" himself. ! 'He had the boy Charley, with him--a bright, smart chap be was then. When he waa twentyone) he) t 14 hfe pretty lively about' town, for the old nan "bad Waved up a handsome property and let C barky have more money, than , was i. good for bim. .Then they got up a new safe lock, and it made a big stir.and I believe they went into that sort or thing pretty heavy. Any way' Charley ' went over with the ock to the first world a fair in London. There Be got iripped ur ; I never heard exactly ho It was:' They .put up.' a wicked 'Job "oh him of some kind, and ot bint mixed up with a pretty bad Lon on 'mob:" "The" alorv that we heard was that he -picked A 'safe lock- for a par ty .that -shouldn't have been picked. Any way be got m with tbe -wrong crowd and they -wouldn't let 'go of him. ; He stayed over there about fle years' and gbto be m MMil.v.ffMl-HUfl'halt: aiiitfAi.1rJl a regular "first class Ls'neakJ and pair a dozen - jobs in the most scientific manner; "We got word trom ocouana Yard-that he was- coming back, 'and I d rdpped - in at the old man's place there in Maiden mne to try and find dut some ibing-. - OldOalcott (that-waa his hatne) had got rich ; hat with his bank-lock iv'ti other inventions his "tt'ean Tw'ayvf Kying.and bis luck-in- buying eotne down town property before people tiad Sn idoa how big the eily was going -to be;' he'd eom'ei'to be a regular Babob. 1 eoulda-1 get a wofd out of him' abbot his boy t he said - he'd given hlnTor, (And was going to retire - from business. Money must have come in pretty fast then to the old fellow he showed me hair h'doien pat enta that he waa going to sell out? any one of 'em' must have been worth a pile of dollare. T'n Now I think of it, it was Calcott who put the first Frankliaite in an i-pn sale, and be-invented.ine rubber nange.wnicn prevented the thieves from using the air pump.. when they . wanted to blow up a aafsv 'i vavs'),-a' -rh eeems -that- when -Young Calcott started' for- America - be d made-up bis mind to cut his London acquaintances and tricks, and equare it by goiqg back to tbe old man ; none of us knew it at tbetime. Weil, when he got here a cu riqua thing happened ; ; we had a man in the Centfal office named .Meeban, who was in wuu au east aiue muu ue wbb broke about a yearjaLterwarda. Meeban had got word from the. London gang. and be- met young.Calcott on the dock with facts enough to send hjm . up ;. snd he made a straight ofler to him to stay with the east side.' gang if he didn't want to end his career : for. H8feulnes. What does Calcott do but bum and haw and go to ; see some of .the fellows, and finding himself pretty.' well staked .out, gives in and opens a fresJUay of industry. He said afterwards, that he intended to cut 'em the first chance he got; but he. never did ; he got .to be big chief in aa danger ous a gang, as ever Worried the' men In Mulberry street." J'JJ7e. thought' we 'had bim twa or three times, but.. he slipped through,, our fingers. , There .wasn t clean job in iron put up anywhere but it bad the marks of bis tools on it. , When the war broke out. he was in New Or leans, and we lost track of hipi-for five or six years. i , , , It was in the winter,, of 465. that, the gentlemen's places' albng ' the . Hmtson were broken into by a rier gang: " .You may recollect it Judge Schermerhorn'a house at Glen 'Spring ,wai entered' one night and robbed of 30,000 wprih of property; tbe papers made a gooa deal of fuss about U, and we bad three or four men working r'at ft.' One day Mat tison cornea into the office with a .copy or tbe Glen Spring paper Herald, I be Ileve it was and says t' t-ook at this ; here's si go ; read that;' and he pointed out an advertisement This v is thf way it nad'1 SiW'' i" All fauTsrlaraV house-breakers, s'neak- ihfevea and assassins are' hereby notified tfaat I have bvtr 160,000 worth pf coin, borers about the house. The house is a mile from any other residence,' and the only occupant is an old man, not in very good health, by tbe name of - ' johm Calcott ' V -Ita some old lunatic," says I, "who hasn't got money enough to get credit." No, says Mattisonr ''they say up there he's worth half a million. He lives in a fi ie house all by himself about two miles from the depot." . ' . It was a three-days' talc in the oJnee and then we forgot it.

His report was that , the old "lany" had got a aign on his fence informing' everybody that passed,1 that here was the unprotected house full ,of valuables that the river gang didn't dare (o walk Into. ' He was sure,' teo,' that there Wasn't any gammon about the atufi, for he'd found out that old Calcott'was immensely rich and kept nearly all' his wealth in his house. ','.'',, , Now, I don't suppose Us reasonable that a regular cracksman should "bite at any such bait a this : but Tony" Frost kept poking Away" at it, and ' one day some -one in the gafig said it was too much 16 have the profession . Insulted in that way, unless they -were all afraid of the old duffer. After that Tony Frost went to the bouse, got up as a tramp,and tried the back door.' The moment he knocked it flew open, and an old man's voice hailed him over the stairs, "Hallo there, what d'you want V J ' .''" Sum mat to eat, it yer please, saya Tony, 'shuffling, in and taking a good look round. " "Go down and try the kitchen, shouts the old manj "arid don't stand gaping rcund that way. There s bread do stairs. 'If von wsnt to examine the house come up when your belly's full,' and I'll show tt to you." .''""' , ', With that Tony goes . down ". the way he came, and walk into the kitchen, where a little girl was washing dishes. She gave him some bread and meat and talked Quite f reel v. To his astonishment she told him the old . roan had ots of money in the house;, she'd seen it; he also told him that she lived in the village and. went .home, every night. . He must have made a favorable report, because it wasn't long after that when Bill Ketch urn, who was the ringleader of the river gang, .thought be'd. take a look at the house ; so up be goes, playing' the part or peddler, and drops jhe neatest tittle (tack in front of the 'place when he sect the sign ; there it was, snre enough, nicely lettered in. red on a white ground and inviting all burglars, house-breakers sneak thieves and assassins to come in and take what ; they -could get . ' The house stood a good ways back from the road, and as Bill went up the wide path he had a good 'chance ' to take, in the dwelling., It was a large brick house with a high stone foundation and an iron stoop ; there wasn t a shutter, a pair of blinds,' on the place;' and if anybody had tried to set it afire he would .have given up the job w a bad one., ' ' ' . jvetcuum got in mrougu ue Kiicueu; he had a lot of things in ' his pack that tickled the fancy of the girl, and he let her amuse herself with them while ce ate a sandwich.
