THE CHICAGO - TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, s FEBRUARY 27, 1576—SIXTEEN+YPAGES, n A e e e e e e TIMOTHY STUBBLEFIELD. BY OLIVER P. uom;o; Writien for The Chicago Iridbune. {t was after {nidnight. and Officer Snipkins Etood wader shelter, looking ont upon the !f:utﬂi‘ Iy-falling rain, undocided 28 to whethicr 8 liberal 2nd commonp-sense Interprotation of inatruce tions would excase, under the circumstances, 8 failore on his part to makehis regular rounda. Tle heard, in the distance, men walking. The measnred step gave & first impreszion of many, —then a definite impression that there wore only two. It wasa springing quickstep, with a little oo much boot-beel emphesis in it to be soldier- 1v; and yet it suggested soldierly precision, with an evident inclinstion to make the left foot duly prominent. It suggested also the elasticicy of youth, the eshilaration of wine, the devil-may- care Jauntiness of the Rogue's March. Snip- Lips listened, unprofessionelly, and became in- terested. As the walkers etruck s long stretch of well-paved sidewalk, and settled down to the regular click-clack, click-clack step, after cross- ing the street, he found bimself marking time with his right foot, tbe toe rising and falling with the cadence of the step, while, at the same time, ne harbored o vpgue impatience for the colump to pass, that he mught fall in. The rain, the deseried strects, the preceding quietness, made the ringing eteps interesting by contrast, and interpreters of all the walkers felt. Click- clack, click-clack (the oficer fancied be conld name tho persons, and inclined his head tolisten closely), click-clack, click-clack, There was not a sonnd, except that made by the falling rain. Theofticer had taken up the step, and the movements of his own body were 80 in harmony with those of the walkers that the “consciousness of stopping cn the wroog foot 'was sharply painfol, whilo the impreseion of a .step projected, never to bo finished, was so wivid 8stostartle him. Ho tried in vain to shake off this impression. The men had not stepped off the sidewalk, because there was oo breakinit. Reason as he would, there was something about the endden stop that puzzled hiim, and he proceeded to investigate. * Standing within the circle of light shed from the Jamp-post midway between the crosa-streets ‘was an old man, ig bis shirt and drawers, bare- Leaded and bare-footed. Beyond him, the two young men, standing a8 they had stopped, sur- prised and startled at the eight of the queer figure before them. It roemed to them that the man pad dropped from the clonds in their path. He stood motionless 18 a statue, the rain drop- ing aud spiaching unheeded on hia bald shiny Lead-front, and running in littie streams from the cluster of gray hair on the back of nis hoad.. The smooth face, the bald bLead. the groy _bair. the scant dress, the touch- ing bumility of expression, tho sense of belplessness against the pitiless rain.— all were eicments o make the picture a pathetic one. The effect was not lesseccd as the old man turoed and walked, in an old man's way. strange- Iy grotesquo and awkward it sesmed now, to- ward the young men. They stepped aside, and, 28 he pussed, Iooked closely st him. Ho was asleop, znd, 2t a sign from the ofiicer, they fol- lowed bim. The thocght inthe mind of each was, that he would go directly home, aod all ebrank from waking him to the realization of his present state. i % The old man walked to the City Bank building, aud stopped asif to inspect it carcfally. He +was, x5 he stood shaking his bead, the personi- fication of care and troubled thought. He trisd the front door, then the door on the other street, then moved away. Those proceedings were care- fully noted by his pursuers, who now detormin- ed 10 wako the sidep-walker and take him home. TThe officer canght him by the arm, and the man awoke with & start. He soon recoguized the eit- uatiop, and his bhumility sod embarraasment were more touching than had been his bearing while asleep. He explsined ina low tons that be was a great sleep-watker, snd that he was, 1o this case, stannod and bewilderod. ¢ What i8 your name " Aftef s moment's hesitation, he safd, with a queer cxpression of the egeg (reflectiog, a8 it were, & consciousness of being sbout to cresta & eepestion), ** Timothy Stubblefield.” Tho officer's eyes said platnly, a5 he Jooked at the young men, ** The eame old trick of giving w0 assumed name. P’rotty thin, but let it go.” “Where doyou live +* At 304 Blank street. < Shall we take you home ?” “If vou please. You will place me under great obligations. Ismin s very unfortunate predicament.” They went with himto304 Biank stroot, & somerwhat pretentious brick house. The name + Stubblefield” was on the door-plate; aod. while the three men performing escort-duty were in a sort of daze over thisunlooked-for fact star- ing them in the face, the sleep-walker, discorer- ifdg that be had left the door unlocked when he came out, 8poke & few gracefnl words of thnnks, asked them to preserve silence as to his unfor- tunats adventure, slipped inside, and turned the key. 1 ’i‘he next night, one of the young men found Officer Snipkins at the street-coruer, and very naturaliy the man with the queer name was tho ! topic of conversation. Mr. Fred Bell had beeu | stranpely impressed by the adventure of the night previous, but had given the matter little congid- eration. The policeman declared that the cese was the strangest bo kad ever known, He did 1ot nnderstand how a man conld come into pos- ecesiou of such & namo as Stubblefield, unless o assomed it ; and, if be selected it himself, why r. Bell explained that there were a great many queer names, such a8 Proudfoot, Pretty- man, Baogmon, Broadback, etc., that could be ~ery satisfactorily acconuted for, and ho Lad found the explanations very ingeaions. 4+ **Tha: may all be,” wterrupted the officer. < But, when a msn calis himself Guowad, or Frogpond, or_Stubblefield, there is more than ngenuity in it. There's a hidden meamne, or the man 18 o whimsical old codger. The ques- tion with me is, how that old fellow came by tho . name, ood why be is 80 particular to have a \door-plute. Sec " + Mr. Bell wag not natnrally a carions man, but he was curions. on this question. Ho thought abont it during the night, and the next day ex- smined tho aty Uirectors. The name of Stub- blefield was not there. 'Thir was & surprise, acd, in his walk homa that night, be explained the gitustion to Mr. Brown, his companion on tho night of the sdventure. Brown was intensely interested, and they looked up the police oflicer, He hzd made a good many inquiries, and found that none of the city officiais or police officers bad ever heard of Mr. Stabbleficld. Brown wus quick to imagive thore was a mystery, and ad- vised that they carry the war into Africa, and investigate the old fellow in his Lhome. The next night the report was that Mr. Stab- blefield paid his grocery bills and butcher's bills promptly, and that grocer aud butcher thought Hr. S. was very much of u gentleman. There Swere three persons in the family.—the old gen- tleman and Lis wife, and their daughter, a very pleasant young lady. The ald people razely lett the house. except 1n the early eveniog, when they walked in tho Park. Tho voung Jady was out more, and_rarely went with her parents. The pame had #truck the butcher as being a very quoer one, and, uaw that biy attention was calied to the matter, he would make some in- quiries. Thero were no new deyelopments for some days ; but the three onginal discoverers of Tim- oiby Stubblefield became C8L_monomaniaca on the subject of queer names. The policcman believed that the name had been assumed to conceal misfortane or crime. An efflort to pry into the secrets of the family rocord throughtho eervants brought out the astonishing fact that there was no record of marriagee, births, or deaths abont the housc. The record pages in an aucient family Uible had been ramoved. Mr. Bell admitted that the case had a suspi- cious Jook, and Brown did not hesitate to say it ‘was devilish queer. ) 3 ‘But Brown was losing interest in the case. He cssnally mentioned that he had recentiy met an old echoolmate of hus, snd * By George, do you koow, she is s nice girl. When we lived 1u the West we attended school as reguiarly 2a clock- work, and botl gradnated in the ssme high- schoot clags.” 5o ho deserted the investigators, and only oceasionally walked bome with Mr. Boll. Ope evening the Iatter met Mr. Brown ¢ and 8 lady, snd was intro- duced . to Miss Vinceny, who struck biw a8 being a very pleasaut person. The police ofticer, on being informed of this, stated that there was something very queer about the meet- 1ngs of Brown and Miss Viucens. Tue old folks wera evidently opposed fo the acquaintauce, as Brown never visited the yonng lady at her homo, &nd, in fact, there was ro Viocent living in that partof town. This euggestion of romance and & Jove-scrape diverted sttention from the Stubble- field mystery; but another adventuro of the sleep-walker, another visit of his in his sleep to the City Bank_building, brought the three men face to face with the main question again. In- quiry developed the fact that Mr. Stubblefield bad been z depositor in the bank, but had drawn out his fanos the dsy before. Meusrs, Brown and Lell walked bythe Stubblo- field residence in ths evening, hoping to see the other members of the family. They aaw the old gentleman and two ladies 10 the distance, juat at the Park entrance, all hangiog lovingly over a flowering shrab. ‘They wen: toward them, and n meeting was inevitable. Alr. Stubblefield recoe- mized them; but his bow was distant and lus look uncomfortable. He made the slightestdepra- catory movement toward bis wifeand daughter,as it peking consideration. The young lady was Miss Vincent, Sho scemed much distressed for the moment ; but, with sudden resolution. and an unexplainable look of defiance, shosaid, ** Mr. Brown, my father and mother.” Then, after a word of explanation, she introduced Alr. Bell. Mr. Brown was entirely self-possassed ; but the Stubblefields wero alt much agitated, and Mr. Ball was agsin in a daze. e Hero was another change of name, For one day sfter the discovery, Lrown was the ally of Ball and the police-otficer in schemes to investi- gate. e thought possibly Miss Vincont was an adopted deughter. She surely did not resemble eitherone of tho old people. ~ Bir. Bell, on the contrary, now that he had seen thom together, Baw & strong resemblance between Jliss Vin- cent and Nr. Stubblefield. The indefatigadlo polico-officer discovered next day that tho name Vincent bad never peen heard in the louso of Mr. Stubblefield. aud that tho young lady was known among her frionds as Miss Srubblefield. He plainly intimated thac Mr. Brown was beiug victimized. ) e Thig conference regulted in_tho retiring of Brown from the Committee. He was gloomy aud reticen: for twoor threo days, during which timo the potice-ofticer was_uader a cloud. Tho City Bank bad been eotercd during tho night, the Casbier carried from his bed and_compeiled to give tho safe-combinations, and the thieves had earried off considerable booty. That such a thing sbiould have oceurred on the borders of his dustrict was tho more exusperating to our police- ofticer because, on that night, ho had been un- usually occupied with the Stubbletield mystery. Thore was something going oo i that house that he conld not account for or explain. But the burglars and robbery now demanded all his attention. and ke was gloomy aod reticent. Mr. Bell was thus left to himself. Walking one evoning, Lo came suddenly upon a young lady talking earuecstly to a gentleman. The roung lady was Miss Vincent, and tbe youug manwas Mr. Brown. The sppesrancos indi- cated there had been uncomfortable explana- tions, and possibly a lovers’ quarrel. JMiss Vin- cent was saying enruestly, “1do not care how soon exposure comes. Iam tired to death of . this concealment aad all these subterfuges, and 1 hope romething will happen to bring it all out.” Toall this Mr. Brown replied, “I am very sorry. laui confused, aud caunot advise. I pever heard of efth a case. It is certainly very unfortunate. You bave my sympathy, but 1 do ot see how I can help you.” As this conversation was reported to tho po- lico-officor, there came a wicked gleam iuto his eyo. Hedrew nnoto from, his pocket, which read: ** Yon aro on the wrong track. Yon, and Bell, and Brown ought to kuow who planued the ‘bank robbery, and who was the leader in carry- ing it out.” < Thero was no signature. 3Ir. Bell understood the meaning, and was icdignant. Ho said ag once that such a conclusion was_ridiculous. Buk , as the police-oflicer reviewed thte case,” he hed some misgivings. The po- lice, under the irritatiow of public censure, wore dispossd to exaggerate every triling cir- cumstance, aud, like drowniog men, to clutch at straws, Anarrest of Mr. Stubblotiold had been determined upon, and, indignaut but curions, Mr. Belignanaged to be in _the vicinity of 30¢ Blank streot at ths appointed time, The bird bad flown. The Stubbleficlds had Teft the house early that morniag, and their fur- piture was all packed for removal. A stubborn, taciturn man was in charge, who declined to ‘aoswer any questions. 2 Ar. Bell admitted that the circumstances were against Mr. Stubblefield ; that thev were suspi- cious, if not convincing ; ard ho was uncomfort- sble.” Mr. Brown, after thoughtfully coosider- ing the note received by the policeman, had gane over to the enemr, and kept his own counsel. The main factsin the Stubblefield case, as sbove parrated, were given in the daily papers of+the next morning, with much skill as to head- lines, much amplitude as to supposititious do- otails, 2nd much certainty 38 to couclusions concerning the guilt of the accused. *The Very Latest " contained the important informa- tion that the so-called Stubblefield, the gray- haired bank-robber, had been arrested on oue of tho outgoing trains, and that he would be brought to the city. . ol There was great excitement in the city. The name Timothy Stubblefield was on everybody's lips, spd the conceit of choosing such a name was' Isughed at, puzzled over, end discussed from every possible staodpoiat. Thoso who did not entertain the notion of guilt were still con- fused aund curious, ‘Tho crowd that welcomed Timothy Stabblefleld on Lis return was_al- most a& mob in its spirit. Mr. DBell watched for the appearance of the man of marked humility and of unwonted modesty snd timidity, with & seneation skin to pain. How could such & man meet such a mob? Never was he more surprised than when Timothy Stupblefield appeared, aignified, dofiant, his eyo aflame with contempt and scorn, his whole mau- uor that of a self-posscesed and well-balanced man. Was it possible that the man bhad been piaying a_part before, and that now, driven into a coraer, he turned _to meet the issuo with bis nataral bofdness and bravado? Mg Beil found himseif in deep water, and awailed develop- mepts with a disposition to hold himself strictly zentral in tho coming conilict. > The attituao of Timothy Stabblefield surprised him no more than did the attitode of jolly and boyish Tom Brown. He had koown Brown fora good mavy years. He was his friend, and a good fellow ; but——weli, he never thoucht there was much depth to the fellow; a &ore dieappoint- meut hio was to his father, old Juoge Brown, certainly one of the best lawyers in town. Dut Brown looked, on this day, 28 though Lo was a man of idess who had himself well in haud; who had determined on & course of action, and was determined to carry it out. - - Timothy Stubblefield had not been many hours in confinement when he was taken before Judze Lrown on & writ of habeas corpus, and releaged from custody. There were several stariling rumors afloat bearing on this unlooked-for resuit, and the whole transaction, as seen by the people at large, bad a bad look. ‘Ihey were confused, however, by & story that gradually assumed prominence and definite shape, to the effect that the real bank-robbers Lisd been arrested; and that Tom Brown had been among the first to suspeet the true stato of affairs, and that ho had, with the help of experienced detectives, arranged a coup delat that bad beea eminently successful, Aud yet reports were contradictory, and polico- ofticers ivsinuated that the ond was not yet, and that parties very ofticious in securing the release of Mr. Stubbletield might bo implicated. 3Alr. Bell would have given worlds for an old- time chat with DBrown, but he only caught glimpees of him as Le pushed his way through the crowd with Mr. Stubblefield, and drove off with him in o carriage: ngain as ho emerged from the botel witi Miss Vincent ; aod again ns he returned wilk his father and two other woll- known lawyers of the city. There was a secret conference,—about what, the people did not know ; resulting in what cou- clusion, they could not imsgine. Dut tho law- yers came from the couference in happy frame of mind, with disposition to rejoice over porsons not 1n the secret. It soon became known that the bank-robbers had been arrested, but the people persistontly faced the Stubblediold mystery,—for there was s mystery now witbontdoubt. It wasannounced thot Mr. Stubblofield bed made expiauations satiefactory to tho parties calied to confer with bim snd advise, but ibat important considera- tions made it ncceseary that the whole matter be kept sccret. The publie, standing face to face with the questions, Why was this man calied Stubbletield 7—Why was his daughter called Miss Vincent 2—\Why did he leave the city uuder such suspicious circumstances 7—\Why did he walk in his sleep to the City Bsnk, and seem troubled about it 2—Why, after his urrest, was he released eo promptly ?—And why was thero a secret conference 7—tho public, we 8ay, facing all these questions, seemed in & fair way never to know anything more abcut the matter than they knew now. This was scarcaly endurable. and men indigoantly acked one avothber, ** Who 8 Stubblefiold, enyhow " : : Agis usual in such cases, the irrepressible newapaper-reporter came to the rehef of the pablic, springing upon them the alwaya tantaliz- 1ng question of Liow Le secured his facts, but giving the facta with the manuer of a man who never heard of & secrat he coutd not uuearth. The Jaily Obserter of the next morning con- tained the whole story : William Vincent was, at 12 years of age, with- out a relative to whom he could turn for help or sympathy, His father had died whon he wus 6 years old, and his mother, marryiug ngain to secure a home, found euch misery that she went in s few years, broken-hearted, to ber grave. Her bov had epirit 2nd intelligence, and & thor- ough hatred of his step-father ; and, after bear- ing numerous cruclties, ran away from beme. His adventures were not of a kind to encourago Ium, but, in & few days, he was working for his board, gathering sheaves snd carrsing water in 2 harvest-field. A whimsical old gentlemsn, the father of the owner of the farm, made it his duty, each day. Lo cut the rich handfuls of grain about the stumps and in the odd corners, left by the men with the cradles, Ile handled a sickla with remarkable ekill, and cnlarged upon this accomplishment, and upon the wastefuiness of the present age, The boy fell in with this old gentlemsn's notions, and became quite a favor- ite. Tn fact, his application for work had been made to him, and the kind-hearted old man had rTaised his hiead to look &t the boy, standing bare- foot in the stubble, from head to foot, and to say, with a queer emilo, Well, littlo Timothy Stubblefield, what can you do?" The avswer pleased the questioner, and the coneeit cm- bodied in the name tickled hig fancy. In time the boy told his story, was adopted by Grand- father Blakeman, became the pet of the house- bold, and was known everywhore as Timothy Stubbleficld. When he was 21 bo feft Lis patron, and, taking his name of Williaw Vincent, ‘began life in earn! He married as Mr. Vin- cent, and 18 Mr. Vincent had many misfortunes and severo trials. The foss of children sad- dened him, the continued illness of his wife de- pressed him, and sickness came to break his spirit. In o state of mind induced by these cir- cumstances, Lo was called to the bedside of his old patron, childish, and sick unto death. He was induced to renonnce tho name of Vincent and take again the name of Stubblefield for him- solf and children, and retain it always ; and was, on this condition, to come into possession of considerablo properts. As a boy, hs bad been miserable as William Vincent,—happy as_Timo- thy Stubblefield. As & man, William Vineent bad been a fallure. Let him stand aside for Timothy Stubbleield. . The sttustion was accepted without soy reali- zation of its difliculties. These demanded at- teution in que time. The old lifo had to be for- gotten,—an easy matter for the man, but a diffi- cult cno for his wife. They began life anevw, howover; their health was restored; a new child came to brighten their home. In time, Mrs, Vincent's people, coming iuto a full knowl- edge of the circumstances, protested, There way trouble, from which the Stubble- ficlds retreated, hiding tnemselves in a new State. from this. date, William Viucent, now an old man, had sorious misgivings as to the course he had adopted ; and, as his daugbter repudiated the name of Stubblefiold, und was known as Caroline Vincent, the situn- tion was very uncomfortable to a ruan extremely gensitive. In allowing his daughter to resume the old famiiy name, ho was not carrying out tho provisions of the will under which the property camo into his possession, and yet ho shrank from any course that would slienate the affection of his only child. This dsughter, thoughtless and stubborn as a girl, realized as & woman the dif- ficulties in the way of her father, and decided thatshe would give up the nume Vincent, and accept that of Stubblofield. Thoy carried oat tho nesw plan by locating in another city, where they had been but a few months when the awk- ward adventurs of tho head of the houss intro- duced him to Messrs. Bell and Brown, and paved the waoy for notoriety. Mr, Stubbletield was much troubled about the disposition of funds held for tho immediate use of the family, and. had become impressed that tho bank where he deposited was not safe. This led to his sleep-walking oxplorations in that di- rection. His daughter had agreed to a particu- lar Jine of conduct as to her old friends, which complicated sffairs when she met Ar. Brown. The latter was confused by the denonement in the Park ; but, as he was very much in lave, ho sought an explanation, and Jeceived it. Ir. Stubblefield, scusitive and timid a4 to expozure, sbrank again from publicity, and resolved to stoye his furnituro and go to Earope. Mr. Brown could not favor this plan ; but his atti- tude as adviser mado Mr. Stubblefield extremely resentful. He could not prevent the arrest of the old geatleman, conld make no explanations ; but he Tollowed a clew given by tho note sout to Officer Suipkios, and bad the real culprits arreated. Ho had ingisted on the secret conference, and, throngh the arguments of the lawyers, had sne- cosded in clearing Mr. Stubblefield's mind of much of its morbid sensitiveness. ‘The troublesome question of the daughter's name he proposed to meet by the propesition to make Lier his wife. ¥ Timothy Stubblefield, old, whimsical, timid, morbid, was jolted out of his line of action, a8 it were. by the accueation that ho was guilty of criwe. Heo was row a plucky, high-spirited man, clear-headed, and bold as he had never been before. Never had the fresh-faced but vener- able man seemed so much 2 man to admire, to hig wifo and daughter, a8 when he turned to meet tho accnsation against him, forgetting for the moment his own peculiar griefs and annoy- ances; and, truo women 88 they wers, they turned to help him fight bis battles. The queer nameo was accounted for ; but the caterprising reporter, impelled by the desire to do justice to, the subject, went & etep further. 1le Lad im’os}iﬁated the mail-lists of tho Weelly Observer, which was mailed regularlv to nearly 100,000 sabscribers living in_ every Stata of the Union, and found several pertons nxmed Stubblefield. As thenames had been on the books for twenty or thirty years, tho families were ancient and respectable. The effect of this gratmtons explanation was to destroy the interest of the public. The pub- lio pulse went down from fever-heat to a common- place beat at onco; and the snuouncement, a few days later, of the marriage of MMiss Caroline Vincent Stubblefield to Mr. Thomas Drown, al- imost escaped notice. The result of all is, that Alr, Fred Bell walks home_at night alono, and _with less genoral jauutiness of manner than when Timothy Stun- ‘blefield’s son-in-law waa his companion HUMOR, Always open to conviction—A thief.
