ALLEN’S CAREER. Theodore Allon has duriog bis whole career been associated with the ward hves in. He bora in ived in it and his tdous through Iifo were more or less colored by prejudives and peculiarities which distinguished its. old time residents. In nis early days there was a lane, a part of which 1s in existence still, known na Pig atley. The, and the boys of the neighborhood used to play there, und it has veen made the suvject of remark that tho characters of sevoral of them who Iater ou in their manhood attatned notoriety wero foreshadowed by their babits and preailectt in these days. Tbongh puny a3. boy and physically a very iuetgnidcaut loosing man, The, by his plack aud bold- ness always won consideration, As bo grow up he became a favorite with his associates, und be hid quoung enough to avail himselt of this ana stri: to encourage it. ‘Bill’? Poolo was then belore 1! public, and be coacctvea an intense admiration. for him. He tiked tne bold, brusque air of the map, and sidea with bim im tne stand he took against Morrissey andthe rest. Hisambition seemed to be tho “running” of the district on the old-fash- Joned plav—with a little persuasion and a lot of hard knocks. He had a very slim chance, though, of 1n- dulging Wimselt, and political notoriety he never at- tatoed till he had brought nimself before the public to less reputadie connections. THE BOUNTY SCHEM When Engthh ward faction anfwo: wore swept aside by tbe war, avd every club memborand up. employed citizen thought it bis right te eapture as many beuattes ashe could, The. went inte therocruit- ing business. With Riley and Hugnes he turmed a partnership woich was certainly succosstul. finan. cially speaking, They had an office in New York and another in Hoboken. Public movey wus dealt our hberally then and the representutives of the iighih ward made up theif minds that they would have un entire fioger in the public treasury. All eligibie yoove mon who could be deponded on were asked to enlist and servo their country, und Allen’s recruiting offico was recommended ag the only door that led to the attainmeut of heroes’ laurels,or well lined pockets. Tho latter consideration ving great weight had the effeot of bringing swarms to tho ailice, This was the way they di busivess there:—Ono set of mon cumo in and were found in good shape for service. Then the bounty was down, which had to be divided by the rocruiting agents, and tho eplisted patriot was tufued adriit to repeat the enlistment formula over again, From Washing- ton volovet Latayette Baker was sont to investigate, bat somchow lhe, i ts said, mavaged to capture him, and trom that Way Baker was tdentifed with tho recraiting office, Thea camo a crisis at last.

While rumors are flying thick aud fast and good ‘tips’? for sharp detective work turn up in abundanco of their own accord the authorities aro as.far from a solution of the enigma as on the day the body was found, Certain facts have tran- Spired during tho ist twenty-four bours which seem conclusively to prove that the bodyon which tho Coronor now holds Inquest {3 not that of Mary iilea Murphy, tho wflanced of Louis Riege, who, in order to know tho fato of his mistress, went to tne Coroner ana gave bimself up to the annoyances of arrest, suspicion and notoriety. His arrest ts not very irksome, however, for he gocs about the village at will and seoms to have no desiro to leave until he is ordered. Riege’s mind, tor- mented by tong unxtety, disappolotmont and a lover’a solicitude, was rather unsettled and disposed to accept anything in sabstitution of the vexatious uncertainty that had been his for so long a time, and when ho heard of tho fluding ot abody he jumped at tho conclusion thas tt was that of his mistress and so only sought io evorything he hoard and saw for corroboration of his preposses- sion. Ue ackuowledged, when examined by the Coroner, thatsome things in the appearance of the dead woman he had never remarked ia Mary Ellen, but then again he found many points ot cotuctaence, and thess wero sufficient to eutisty nim that his mts- tress bad been murdered.

She then pat hor nand to ber sbouider, as if in- dicating the @ength of hair, aud Riego, continuing what was to distant witnesses 4 pantomime, put bis band near the small of bis back.
