A Pitt for a Clew
By an Ex-Operative of the Secret Service
Capt. Dickson
MNose
HiT do I consider
the most Important
thing to notice when
flrtt investigating a
crime?
\fter some moments of thought, he
replied'
-Well, from my own experience, it
lias become a fixed conviction with me
that no crime is ever committed
uhere the criminal fails to leave be
hind some clew that. If It is only found
mid its worth appreciated, will iu
xariably lead to the detection of the
culprit
I have a case in mind, a post-office
robbery. It happened when I was con
nected with that department, before 1
was transferred to the broader Held of
the secret service. I will never forget
the village where it occurred. It was
a town of some 300 or 400 souls in the
r.reen mountains. It had only one
hotel, and in the three weeks that I
was detainod there, I almost de
stroyed my digestion endeavoring to
nupport life on its abominable fare. I
believe that I felt a keener satisfac
tion in the royal meal I secured at
liostoti, on m.v return to Washington.
than I did in capturing the author of
t.h« robbery.
"The post-office aafe had been
tapped for a large quantity of stamps,
about 1500 In money and a brand new
money-order book. This last Item
gave importance to the case, because
a book of money-order blanks in the
hanJ« of a clever crook can cause the
government more trouble than a ses
sion Of congress.
"The safe was a crude iron affair
•which was fastened by means of a
clumsy brass key. The key was too
large and too heavy to be lugged about.
and after the safe was locked it was
hid away in a corner of the cash
drawer. A peculiar circumstance of
the robbery was that the safe had
been found locked and the key was In
its place of concealment. The cul
prits had possessed an intimate
knowledge of the habits of the post
master and his assistant. Miss Lundy,
a young lady of fine appearance and
charming personality.
"Mason, the postmaster, had a
theory that two tramps had committed
the theft. He said that two suspicious
characters had come into the office the
afternoon before the robbery and had
bought Ave two-cent stamps. He con
sidered this a suspicious circumstance,
as he said that persons of their type
always bought stamped envelopes—no
more than they needed at the time—
and that they always mailed their let
ters before leaving the office, address
ing them with the dilapidated pen
maintained by the postmaster at all
country offices for victims who have
no alternative than to use it. At the
back of the building, a window-glass
had been broken out, and Mason espe
cially directed my attention to it, as
he said It must have been by this
means that the robbers gained en
trance to the building. All of the
doors had been securely locked.
I made a minute examination of the
premises, and the only thing I found
was a small steel pin with a green
glass head. It was In a crack of the
"oor immediately in front of the rilled I
safe. Without attractfng attention, I
secured the pin and stuck it beneath
the lapel of my coat. I thought it
might prove of value. It did. It was
the key to the situation.
"My examination showed that the
robbers had entered the post-office
through the front door, and that the
broken window was merely a blind or
else It had been broken by accident.
I didn't take much stock in this last
theory, but put the window down as a
deliberate effort to muddy the water.
There were two doors, a front and a
back one. Th# rear one was kept
•ocked And the key to it hung on a
uail in the office. Only Mason and
Miss tiudy hafl keys to the front
uoor.
"It was not so easy to trace Mason
and the young lady on that evening.
After Home considerable work 1
learned that neither of them had been
at horn* the early part of that par
ticular evening. No one knew where
they had been nor what they had done
•luring this period. Mason had left his
home and Miss Lundy her boarding
"house early after aupper on that
night on the pretext of taking a walk.
Mason had returned sometime after
midnight. The hour of Miss I.UDdy'n
rvturu was uncertain.
"Already sorely puzzled over the evi
dence which WLS accumulating, one
morning, upon arising, I was more
than ever mystified by finding a slip
of paper under the door of my room.
In a sprawling, unnatural hand, four
words were written upon it
llason robbed the safe.
"When I visited the postoffice, I no
ticed that Mason was pale and hag
gard and he was as nervous as a
caged leopard.
"When I went to the hotel at noon,
1 found a tiny note on the table in my
worn. It was a dainty, perfumed lilt
of paper, just the kind that refined
young ladies employ in their polite
wrespondence. I jumped to the con
clusion that it must be a further mes
of the same character as the
Jiiorniug's note, it was, but there was
a decided conflict in the news it con
tained. in

"More than ever puzzled, I strolled
over to the postoffice alter lunch. Ma
son was there and alone. Miss l.nn
dy had not returned from her dinner.
The post mast er"s lace was piteous to
behold. He shrank from me as 1 greet
ed him and put lii.s hands over Ills
face. His hands shook like a man's
with the palsy. Uefore I could find a
seat he arose and went into his pri
vate office, beckoning me to follow.
"I seated myself and watched with
patience while lie strode hack and
forth across the limited space of the
office. Suddenly lie stopped squarely
before nie, and bracing himself with
a painful effort, blurted out a Jumble
of words, confessing that he had
robbed the safe. 1 was struck all of
a heap, but never for an instant did
I believe him. There was something
about the very language of his inco
herent confession and his manner iu
making it that told me that Mason
was not the thief.
"'What more do you want?" Mason
breathed. 'I did it. I tell you. and I
shall be convicted of it. I can't re
store the stamps and the money-order
book because I have destroyed them,
but here is the money, every penny of
It.'
"He threw a roll of bills In my lap
and continued:
My confession Is sufficient to con
vict upon. I will repeat it 111 court
and I want you to arrest me and get
me away from here Just as soon as
you can.'
"Just at this juncture the depot
agent entered the office with a tele
gram for me. It was a cipher mes
sage from the department. Taking
out my code book, I translated in a
moment and the contents of it, in the
light of Mason's confession, was noth
ing less than unnerving.
-Without a word I wrote the mes
sage out and passed it over to Mason:
Lunar came Into the office. With
woman's Intuition, she saw that some
ti.iUL- was wrong. A look of terror,
which smote me to the heart, swept
over her face. She sprang forward
and stepped bet ween Mason and me,
'ho stood staring at each other like
wooden images.
Oh, ('apt._ Dickson.' she sobbed,
don mil believe him. He didn't have
a tiling to do with It. 1 did it myself.
I he money is in my trunk. I have

She didn't do It. C'api. Dickson,'
ianted Mason iike a man demented.
She knows nothing about it. 1 alone

save me from prison she is niv af

"I worried through the morning
somehow, never trusting myself to
show up at the post-office. At noon I
was forced to go bad to the hotel, as
it was the only place of public enter
tainment in the village. 1 headed
straight for my room, expecting to
find a fourth note on the table. 1 was
not disappointed, for there it was, as

On the night of the robbery they had
spent the evening together at the wid

was employed in fastening it Miss

robbery, she had forgotten the itici
dent, nor did she remember It or at
tach any importance to it until Mason
had showed it me a» (he place
where the tram is had gained en

question certain village characters
about the tramps and bad h-ard them
deny having seen them. She had heard
Mason tell me of them and knew that
it was a fabrication. She had noticed
tlie nervous condition of Mason, at
tributable to his belief that, she had
been the thief, but, she had attributed
It to his guilt. She had desired to
shield him and had written me the
whole accouut herself.
"It was a pretty tangle. The lovers
had straightened it out to their own
satisfaction and. while I knew that
neither of them had any guilty knowl

"With my suspicion of Mason set at

the pin with the glass head. There
were many women in the village that
fitted the description iu a general way
ai that was a hard clew to follow, so
fell back upon the pin. There were
none of the kind for sale in the village
nor had there ever been, so I knew
that the pin must be an imported one.
This was some progress, but I was
*ti:i far from shore.

run the thief to earth if It hadn't
chanced that I met a lady one after
noon who wore a tlower pinned upon
her breast. A glance showed me that
the pill which held it was the twin
brother to the one I had found. The
lady, I learned, had been in the vil
lage some four or five months, teach

from.
"it was an easy matter to clear up
the robbery after this. .She was an
old timer in criminal deeds and as

She had easily learned the careless
methods of the post-office and, when
she deemed the occasion ripe, had se
