He was born in Maryland, his father being a native of Washington, D, C. As early as 1828 the latter moved to St. Louls. The son was placed In school In Georgetown, D. C., but soon laft of his own accord and returned home convinced he had not been suffi- clently advanced for the Georgetown insti- tution. There were no railroads then. By “footing it" and coaches he reached the headwaters of the Ohfo. The same morning the boy left for the west his father started for the east. The boy reaached home In time to welcome his father back. Soon the boy fell in with fast youngsters, and ulti- mately began a fast though honest life, at different times acting as newspaper reporter, “hoy orator,” speculator, detective, and in other pursuits, including that of gambler. Mr. Shannon had many adventures, one of which was deseribed by himself as follows hannon, for heaven’s sake, help mo in the keenest chase I've had in thirty years' detective service!" Thus 1 was addressed one summer after- | noon in that live young metropolis of the west, Kansas City, by Henry Black, an old acquaintance, one of the cutest of a corps of detectives, whose achievements in ferreting out rogues along the Mississippl and Mis sourl had become proverbial. I never was a great admirer of that kind of employment requiring the skill of the dotective or the duplicity of spy, and this man knew it. His addressing me thus evidenced his dire extremity. “You needn't lie nor use any kind of de- ceit. Just help me get on the trail of a bloody villain that I've been after for a month and ean’t catch a smell of him,” he said, In answer to my look of disgust on hearing his proposition. “Who, and whut is it you want? I asked, You know Jake Heberly?" The gambler?"” The same | “Well, Ioughtto know him. He is the | best card player on the rivers. What do you want with him “Forgery, murder and sloped. He forged a draft in New Orleans, drew $5,000 on it, and was nabbed, but he aped from his | captor and ran for refuge in a celebrated | bagnio in that city. He was too closely fol- | lowed to hide away. A police officer fol- lowed him into the room, when Jake threa ened to shoot if the oflicer came another step nearer. Sounding his whistle for assist- ance he sprang for Jake, when the devil shot him square through the head. “Knowing pursuers would come from be- low, ho ran upstairs, climbed the ladder o the transom, out on to the roof, drew the ladder after him, leaving no chance to fol- low, and cut out along the roofs, keeping on the yard sido out of sight of the street, and finally disappeared into the skylight of some one of tho buildings—and that’s the last’s been seen of him or the money.” The shrewd little rascal!” But he's a nervy chap, and youw'll have fun, even if you ever cateh up with him.” Which was the | only consolation I could offer, for I knew the fellow well, and had seen his little body in tight places before. Jake Heberly was onme of the best | known and most successful gamblers that ever infested the west. He was a native of Louisville, Ky., but ran away in, boyhood, and had spent the last thirty years of his lite in St. Louis and following the rivers. Nature had given him talents of no ordinary cali- ber, but the only improvement they had re- ceived, beyond a session or two at com- mercial college, was the education received In gamblers' dens, brothels and other simi- lar resorts. He had a natural fist for a pen, and excelled in chirography. After spending a few ycars among gamblers Jake “reformed” and secured a situation in a large commercial house in St. Louls to famillarize himself with business men and their habits, documents, etc. He remained in that employment two or three years, meantime keeping up his gambling ac- quaintance and education in secret, when he returncd to the ‘‘pave” and became a mo- torious gambler; he was also smirched with several charges of forgery and other crinfes, but somehow . had . never been o However, his picture was in every gallery” In western offices. And a handsome picture it was almost beautiful as a woman, a face as smooth as the palm of your hand, rather a bright olive complexion, nearly as dark as a creole, red lips, a slight aqualine nose, splen- Qid teeth, with raven black hair (which he gloried ), permitted to grow long and hang over his shoulders in glossy wavelets. His form was faultless for a female, but too effeminate to be that of an Apollo; his eye perfect and black and sparkling as a mid- night_ star. Added to all, he had the temper of a demon, quick as lightning; fear he was totally unacquainted with, and had perfect control of his feclings and features. “Henry my boy, you are after dangerous prey, and I advise you to keep your eyes on duty and your pistols ready. If he gets the drop on you, there'll be one fine detective But will you help To do what? “Do? Lots. He's a gambler and you know his haunts. He'll never be on guard against one of your clan, and you can much more probably fall In with him. He's wanted in Nashville, in Memphis, and in St. Louls also for forgery. Altogether it's a cool $2,500 it we catch the eel, besides my glory. If you'll tree him, I'll do the catching, and we'll Qivide, what say you?” “Where do you expect me to find him?” I asked, getting interested, as §1,250 loomed up in the distance. “On the river, or in some of the river towns, gambling on his fresh stake,” Black | gave as his oplnion, “Well, you're badly off trail. You'll never find him there. I'm a better detective than even Harry Black this time. You'll have to travel, this hunt, and you needn’t scrutinize brecches very closely either,” 1 prognosti- cated. “What? By Georgel you have struck It. Will you Join me? I'll pay expenses.’ “Well, yes, as it's only hunting where you are to @0 the dirty work, and the venture in it. T'll go, if you'll let me do ac- cording to my own notion, and you pay trav- eling expenses.” “Agrecd. Where'll you go first?"” “Don’t know yet. We will telegraph each other every twenty-four hours, g0 as to keep in sight, like. When I telégraph you to come, you come at once.'” “Agreed again, Now, I must see Chief Speers the first thing, and put his boys on the Kansas City hunt.” “Very well; but that is uscless. Go east, young man, go east.” Back in my room I cogitated my first “case;” Jake Heberly now has, that we know of, a “stake” of $5,000, hence will hunt big game in some quarter where he will least be hunted for—some watering place | Just now, whero the “big ones” are summer- ing. Not to Europe? No; not cosmopolite enough—Saratoga, Cape May or the like. How? Gambler, resting as merchant; one or the other s his education, both together his stronghold. Maybe westward? No, too well known by every detective and police. Here goes for Saratoga, first train, for he's a month ahead. So 1 shot off post haste for the east. At Saratoga and half a dozen minor places I falled to find Jake, or any trace of his having been at any of them. The only “success” at Saratoga, I learned was a | beautiful creole widow, who was the very devil at faro er poker, and had played havoe with hearts and purses among the tony gentlemen frequenting the gaming rooms at | that favorite resort. She had gone to Cape May with her aunt—an aged but very aristo cratic duenna, who chaperoned the young creole widow very closely for fear some adventurer might run away with her The couple had been followed by a rich milord from England, who had fallen in love with the pretty brunctte, and whose attentions received the only flattering re- ception from the jealous old duenna. Creole—long, black, wavy hair, killing eyes ~—poker, faro! I scented a cold trall The fashionable world will remember, some seasons back, the rich and beautiful young creole widow, with her guardian aunt so very distingue, who made the rounds of watering MEC (ANIGS EAT ,’;"‘ places one summer, and took back to her sunny southern plantation a hundred hearts and hundreds of dollars with each. Well, dear deluded, she never went back to any sunny plantation, but Is today recre- ating in a much shadler nook, with better guardians than her anclent aunt.” Hurrying to Cape May, 1 spent several hours searching quietly though the differ ent hotels and bon-ton boarding places until at on of the hostelries I readily recognized the suscepitable young Englishman, made his acquaintance, and by speaking so fa millarlarly about Sir Edmund Antrobos nd eminent familifes 1 had met in London, soon ingratiated myself deep in his estimation, The poor fool conflded to me the secret of his chase after the pretty creole and her favorable reception of his suit. He had already with avidity accepted the invita tion of the old aunt to spend several even- ings at their private paricrs But the ung lady was card-crazed, and demanded at each visit to play with her there or take her there. She was as imperious as a Castill an queen, suffering no cross to any whim. And =0 he stayed, in order to monopolize his prize, but the loving creature s0 befuddled his brain that he was already loser £200 or £300—which trifle he cared nothing for, as he now It secure in car- rying her ¢ff as his bride at the close of the season, having already won the ol lady's consent and several very warm and tender tet otes with the dear girl I felt 1ke warning him that he was building chateaux en espagne, but con cluded on using him first. So I manifested an intore:ted sympathy in his exciting pur suit, and offered to assist by timely sug- gestions as tcuching my London experience and my having heard among them of the blue blood of his family Come with me tonight and we will surely meet her at one of the tables—with the in- evitable aunt at her side, however. When she quits playing—she's a perfect tigress of fury if interrupted before—1 can secure you an introduction Just what 1 wanted, for the exclusive lit- tle aristocrat kept herself secluded all day, not deigning to let sunshine or sea breeze kiss the smooth olive of her cheek. Johnny Bull told me she expressed herself o pret tily as having a horror for sea weater and as being too healthy already, so she always took breakfast and dinner in her boudoir, only condescending to exhibit herself under the softened light of chandeliers. It was really too tiresome to bo dressed and en- nufed by dressing maids more than once a day, and but for the fascinations of the night's game would not often be bored the single time,” she sald. When we entered the saloon at 9 o'clock that evening the creole star was already seated at the card table, with her duenna satellite shining in the regular orbit as usual and a crowd of admiring gentlemen surrounding the charmed piradisaical oasi Sauntering to where I could get a fair view of the wonderful lady gambler, sure enough I detected, by the well known playing as well as by the half disguised features, Jack Heberly But who was the old woman? TFor the life of me I could not fix her as any woman I had ever seen. Both we gantly, richly dressed, and every ment, especially of the duenna, was ex- quisitely refined. The young widow was acting her part splendidly—not as an ex- pert gambler, but as a fair player, a girl infatuated with gambling, faultless in de- meanor, with only the abandon incident to the surroundings. Anywhere away from the salon, 1 learncd, her appearance and behavior were those of a perfect lady, but a petted, spolled, celf-willed, domineering little beauty. Dotective Black was at Cin cinnati, where I telegraphed him that night requesting him to come at once, “She's going to the ladies’ porior and has been gracious enough to let me fetch you. Come along, quick.” And Johnny Bull fairly dragged me over to the reception room. As he led me forward I posed my- self as carelessly as possible, but still fore- ing my face to express admiration for the fair_enchantress. “Miss Ledue, permit me: My friend, Mr. Shannon. Miss Ledue looked quickly up, with just the least bit of lightning-like glance of ap- prehension. Thus I saw that Jack Heberly and Miss Ledue were one and the same in- dividual—at Jeast, was almost sure; not fully, for it was the most consummate ~ acting I had ever witnessed. “Very proud indetd of the pleasing honor of being received by one who seems to be setting so many gentlemen In ecstatic anx- iety."” Such my salutation and T flatter myself Jake's acting was but little bette 1 produced the impression upon my queen creole that T did not in the least suspect her disguise. “Eestatic anxiety, Mr. Shannon, is rather a contra-meaning ‘capstone to your man- like compliment, but, anyhow, thank you. Sit down here and ‘tell aunfy what you mean.” Rippled out 1s as good a phrase as 1 can find to describe the really musical voice Jake had, or had acquired, and in which he (she) rattled out words in true Frenchy railroad style. Accepting the prof- fered seat I said to the duenna, but for the queen: “Her beauty and witchery fur- nish ecstacy, while her rare diplomacy be- gets the anxlety. “Oh, my! what an acquisition to our dull society! ~ Are we honored by the presence of a French savant, a Russian diplomat, or is it the trained child of some old courtier? I have not been so doubly, physically and mentally complimented in’ all this cold | morth," merrily chirruped the fascinator, “‘Neither, mademoiselle, only a traveling Yankee, but a rare admirer of talented beauty,” and an honest speaker of opinion formed from what he sees surrounding his moth-attracting brillian I bowed low toward Miss Ledue as I spoke, still testing | her femininity, hoping to discover one tinge of masculinity, but in vain. “Giddy flatterer,” she laughed. “Be- ware, Mr. Late-moth, that your wings do not scorch, too."” Next evening, satisfied that Jake knew me, and thought I didn't recognize him, I | purposely made one of the party at the table wiere Miss Leduc was playing, and made no effort to conceal from her my abil- ity in the game. Tho game was broken up at a much earlier hour than usual by her withdrawal on the plea of headache. I knew it was to get away from my eyes. Still, T looked in vain for a single move- ment or word from her that would betray the man, The next evening I met her in the parlor, and also became acquainted with the other adies present, and exerted myself to b come a welcome visitor by all the gay agreeablencss 1 could muster. And_still Jake maintained his dizguise so perfectly that T began to doubt my discovery and to wonder if It was not simply a stran resemblance. I went to my room to con- jure up a plan to force some act or word to_my hermaphroditic enlgma. Next day Detective Black arrived, but he, too, was disguised, and so completely metamorphosed into a well dressed, com merclal looking, bewhiskered western mer chant that I would never have recognize him had he not spoken to me. Safe In my room I told him of my dis- covery, of my belng satisficd that Miss Ledus was Jake Heberly, hut also tforme n of my later doubts and their caus hat night at the card table we had tho pleasure of a_long, close scrutiny of the two ladies. Miss Ledue (apparently satls fled at not seeing-me) was engro:sed with lier winnings, and the duenna paying closc attention to her ward. Suddenly Black grasped my arm and led me to a private corner, where he whispered “You have treed the game. I'm satisfled it Is Jake. And I recognize the duenna as an old hag of New Orleans, keeper of one of the toniest bagnios of the city.” “WIN you arrest?’ 1 asked No papers yet. I'll take tonight's train and procure them, Keep your eye on the birds till I get back here tomorrow night.” And ho left me. I stayed about the room until the game broke up and our birds went to thelr rom. I was nut yoo satisfisd at my lnability to see some act or detect some tone or word that was masculine in Miss Lodue and 1 determined to try my plan be fore Black returned. Opportunity offered next evening oing Miss Ledue and her unt with several other of my late lady acqualntances in the parlor, I purchased a dozen fine oranges and entered the presence of the ladies. “Now, I propose a game of base ball, Q UAKER OATS 7 ladies," I exclaimed, laughingly, as 1 stood in the middle of the room. “T'll be ‘pitcher® of an orange to each of you, and the one who falls to catch my throw loses the orange. My proposition met with a gleeful ae- coptance, and they all prepared for my throwing. 1 closely watched each lady as I pitched her an orange. Fvery one spread her lap to cateh the orange except Miss Ledue, who, manlike, quickly snapped her knees together—and the orange rolled on the floor. 1 was satisfled. The woman who makes no lap fs a man! Black came that night. I told him of my ruse and Its resulting exposure of Jake's sox to my eyes alone. Black would not wait until morning, lest some mishap might give Jake a scare and he would slip through our fingers. S0 we Sought the business man ager of the hotel and told him privately of our business. The man looked thunders struck when we named the boautiful creole guost a fugitive from Justive, charg with the double crime of forgery and mur- a But, as ho had no alternative, and the ntore willingly as Black's plan would avold any scene in public to injure his hotel, the landlord led us directly to the room of Miss Ledue's aunt, which opened into that of the young lady. ~ We had taken the precaution to take with us the matron of the house. Her volco and housckeeping excuse brought the aunt to the door, when behind the matron Black and I quickly slipped into the room, jumped through the intervening door, and were standing at Jake's bedside with two pistols pointed at his nose, when that worthy started from sleep. Seeing mo and recognizing Black, the culprit gave up and oolly reached out his hands for the brace- lets, which Black snapped on, drew Him from the bed and told him to dress quickly and go with us quetly in time for the night train. He did o, and was securely manacled. Meanwhile the landlord was keeping watch over the watching duenna, who was neatly coiled in her bed, trembling at the drama being performed. On seelng Jake manacled botween us the old hag for- got her respectability and broke out with a volume of profane ~abuse, principally di- re against my modest self as a decelt- ful devil. Over $14,000 was found In their baggage, with part of which Black settled all of our hotel bills. .We got our game on the night train, and safely failed them in a fow days at New Orleans. Black divided the reward with me, as also a further reward for securing the money drawn on the forged draft. Jake's lawyer succeeded in lessening his sentence to con- finement In the penitentiary twenty years for manslaughter. The ducnna was di charged, there being no specific charge against her.

In Not a Fow Instances They Aro Credited to the Wrong Persons. Although the newspapers often print par- agraphs about familiar phrases and their misplaced authorship, the mistakes, as a gene ral rule, continue to be made. There is \hat story of Wellington at Waterloo, which originated, according to the Buffalo Courier, with Allison, the historian. The French Raving at last broken, so the tale goes, the iron duke cried to his reserves: ““Up, guards, and at them!" In face of fre- quent denials, by Wellington himself, that he ever gave such a command, It is re- peated to this day as an historical fact. An artist once went to the duke and begged to be allowed to paint him In the very at- titude he took when he uttered those stir- ring words. “Go to the devil,” sald tha duke.« Again, a dowager asked him if he really did say: “Up, guards, and at them!" To this the duke replied: “I couldn't have ald 1t, madame; it would have been ab- surd. What I probably did say to my staft officers was something like this: ‘Gentle- men, you will now move upon the enemy's right.”"" Only a short while ago a New York paper repeated as authentic the story that Marshal Blucher, while visiting London and looking down on the city from the dome of St. >aul’s, exclaimed: “Was fuer plunder!” This expression would convey to the mind unacquainted with the German idiom the idea of “What a place to loot.” The fact is, however, that in German the word “plunder” is used in a sense wholly different from that of “plunder” in English. The Ger- man word “plunder” means “trash," ‘‘worth- less finery,” “tinsel,”” and the phrase ‘‘was fuer plunder” signifies “‘what trash,” “what rubbish.” But the use of “plunder’ even in this sense Is restricted, 50 that Blucher would not have used it In a contemptuous way, as signifying that the city spread out beneath him was rubbish. He would have used another word. So, a German who hears this remark attributed to Blucher s loth to believe it, knowing that in similar circumstances he would never utter it himself. Almo:t everybody belleves that it was Napoleon who said: “God always favors the heaviest battallons” As a matter of fact, Tacltus was the first who is known to have used the phrase, and Vol- taire and Mme. Sevigne uttered it in ex- actly the manner credited to Napoleon, That other familiar on The guard dies, but never surrende was attributed to Cambronne, who was made a prisoner at Waterloo. It was actually invented by Rougemont, an author of witty sayings, two days after the fight. These instances of miscredited quotations aro by no means conflned to times In the remote past. During the campalgn of 1880 the reporter of a newspaper in Paterson, N. J., put into the mouth of General Hancock the statement that “‘the tariff is a local fssue, It was instantly seized upon by the re- publicans, and although it was immediately contradicted, the presidential candidate was 50 generally credited with it that many dem- ocrats even came to believe that the phrase was uttered by him. There is a phrase almost universally attributed to Grover Cleveland, which he did not originat namely, “Public office is a public trust. The author of this terse truth was Danlel 8. Lamont, and it was first used by him in a campaign sketch of Mr. Cleveland's public career. But while this fact might be re- peated every day from now to the crack of doom, it is 1kely that the president will have ‘the eredit for the saying, partly be- cause it “sounds likes him,” and partly be- cause it Is known (o epitomize his views ro- arding the occupancy of political office, Wo could not improve the quality 1f we paid double the price.
