The detective alighted from the train
and poked hla bead into the little red
painted station.
"Bejr, there!" he called authoritor
Ural*.
The agent appeased from an ofeecom
cabby bole and surveyed the newcomer
curiously.
la this Smith's Corner i" asked
Mash, the detective.
"No, It ain't,"' returned the agent
shortly. "This is Weet Smithtown."
"I knew It," gritted the other be
tween his teeth as the train rattled
away Into the distance. "I've found
SmlthvUle, Smith's Pond, Bast, Weet,
North and South Smithtown, but nary
a Smith's Corner!"
"Is it on the map?" asked the agent
With lukewarm Interest
T haven't found It yet"
"Then there ain't no eoch place,"
said the agent with conviction. "If
there was aoch a place," he want en
arguments lively, "I'd be selling tickets
to it, wouldn't IF
"If the railroad ran through It"' aaid
the sleuth shrewdly.
"Well, it don't, because I don't recol
lect ever setting • ticket to no Smith's
Corner. What do you w»j»t there, a*y
wayT Selling patent reapersr
The detective drew hlnMetf op to his
pudgy height "Do I loefc as if I eotd
patent reapers?" he demanded con
temptuously.
Th« other looked him over critically.
"I cut «*j u you do. Maybe you're
In the book line."
"This Is my line," said tbe detective
as he toased back tbe lapel of his coat
and for a brief instant displayed a
shining star.
"Great goabl" ejaculated tbe agent,
withdrawing respectfully toward bis
cubby bole. "Why didn't you say yon
was somebody?"
"Don't I look like anybody?" snapped
the angry Mr. Mash.
"Of course, of courser reassured tbe
agent, thru sting his face does to the
wire grating of tbe ticket window.
"Seems too bad you can't find that
there Smith's Corner. I expect yento
been looking for ft seme time, eh 7"
"A week or mere," returned the de
tectire.
"Whafs happened? Somebody mur
dered down there r quixaed tbe agent
curiously.
"No, but tbe murderer Is down
there."
"Gosbl What murderer?"
"Don't you read tbe papers?" de
manded Nasb scornfully.
"Sometimes, but ther make me
sleepy. They're terrible exciting, don't
you think so?"
"Very exciting! B*7, I* there any
body around here who know* where
Smith's Corner l»r asked the detec
tive peevishly
"Too can ask down to the store."
The agent flipped a thumb over his
shoulder. "For all I know It may be
In Kalamazoo."
"For all yon know about this local

out of the station and down the street
toward the general store.

dignantly. "This ain't no water tank

"Of course, It Isn't even that!" Tbe
detective bnmpsd hte shouldsrs and
walked down the length of the station

the distance. Presently be tamed te

Nash bad had private Information

glanced sharply Inside. After awhile
be opened tbe door and entered.
The agent was hancbed behind tbe
window thumbing over a dirty account
book. A telegraph Instrument clicked
behind him on tbe table.
"Busy, ebr asked the detectire,
leaning against the narrow door that
led Into the cubby bole of an offlce.
"Expecting a train," grunted tbe
agent, with a return to his former
surliness.
"Too run the ticker T' asked Nash,
with a nod toward the telegraph In

The agent nodded. Then be asked
suddenly, "Do yon understand it?"
"Nary—too deep for me," langbed
Nash, lastly lighting a cigar. "There
•he goes now! What does she say
that the train's coming?"
Tbe agent turned his freckled face
toward the Instrument and listened In
tently, his form tense and rigid.
A smile broadened the detective's
face as tbe meaning of the message
was ticked out Once be bad been an
operator, and the eouod of tbe dots
and dashes were Uke tbe alphabet to
him.
The agent leaped to the Instrument
and ticked back an answer, bis bead

He turned bis bead away for an In
stant, and when be looked around- It
was to face two deadly looking revolv
ers In the hands of the sleuth. /
"Walk up berer commanded the op
fleer tersely.
"Great gosh!" began the agent e>-
ettedly. but quick as a flaab the de
tective bad laid down one weapon and

ONE MOREBATTLE
That Wat What General Lee
Wanted Before Yielding.
HIS TALK WITH LONGSTREET.
Major Ranaen'a Interesting Aooount el
the Scene In the Confederate Com
■wander's Cheerless Tent the Night
■afore the Surrender.
An lutereetlng account of the dra
matic scene at General Lee's headquar
ters the night before the aurrender,
when the Confederate commander was
still determined to atrike one more
blow for the cauae for which he waa
lighting, la given by Major A. R. EL
ilansou lu Harper's Magazine. Major
Itauaou writes:
"When I arrived at headquarters
General l,ee was In a tent, sitting with
General Lougstreet ou some bundlee
of rye straw. the ground being wet
frua the rain, at the upper aide of the
tent, with one candle for a light 1
made my re|)ort, and the general told
me to wait, as he wished to see me.
He asked mo If I bad had anything to
eat. and 1 told him no. He said be
waa sorry be bad nothing to offer me.
He gave me a bundle of straw and
told me to sit oear the door.
"It had been raining oil afternoon,
and I was quite wet. I was alto very
tired, bo I pot my foot through the
bridle rt-lu of my mare (landing out
aide and, lying down on the bundle of
atrnw, was noon asleep.
"1 waa awakened by rolcea and,
looking up, aaw the colonel I bad left
In charge of the troops at the bridge
standing In the tent He reported that
the rations had not arrived, and the
starving and discouraged troops bad
all deserted In the darkness, leaving
their arms Id the trenches.
'• "General Lee beard him to the end
of his account, and then with a wave
of his -band dismissed him. Turning
to General Longstreet. be said: This
is very bad. Tbat man la whipped. It
Is tbe first time I have seen one of
my officers who had been whipped, tt
Is very bad.'
"Tbe conversation between tbe gen
erals waa than resumed in low touea,
and I again fell asleep. 1 must bave
slept for some length of time when I
was awakened by General Lee'a voice,
speaking in loud tones, louder than 1
had ever beard from blm. Be was
saying, 'General Longstreet, I will
strike tbat man a blow In tbe morn
ing.' General I,oe sometimes spoke
of General Grant as 'that man' and
of tbe Federal army as those people.'
"General Longstreet replied In low
tones, giving tbe strength and condi
tion of bis command and tbe atrengtb
and position of tbe enemy, and con
cluded by ssying, 'But you bave only
to give me tbe order and the attack
will be made in tbe morning.' Again
the conversation waa roaumed in low
tones, and I fell asleep.
"1 most bave slept for an hour at
least when again I waa awakened by
the loud, almost fierce, tones of Gen
eral Lee, saying, 'I tell you. General
Longstreet, I will strike that man a
blow In the morning.' General Long
street again recounted tbe difficulties,
ending as before, 'General, you know
yon have only to give tbe order and
the attack will be made, but 1 must
tell you 1 tblnk It win be a useless
waste of brave Mtss.'
Thinking I bad been present lons
{pougb at «uch an Interview, I cough
ed and got op from the at raw and,
drawing back the flapa of tba tent,
lookad oat Into tba darkneaa. General
Las said: "Captain Raoaon. I beg your
pardon. 1 bad forgotten you. Go now
sad get something to cat and some
Msti I will see you la the morning.'
"I found my poor mar* lying flat on
her ride la the rain and faat aaleep.
It was past midnight and rerjr dark,
but I reached oar camp, though nei
ther I nor my mare got anything to
sat that night.
"The morning came, and I listened
for the sound of oar attack, bat all
was still. There wrfs no attack. Oar
fighting days were or«r." .

Mr. William Andrews Clark,
recently a Senator in Congress
from Montana and now a resident
of Fifth avenue,' in New York
city, started work 42 yeatfe ago as
a country school teacher. Then
he became a merchant, a banker,
a mine owner and a manufacturer.
He has experienced the vicissi
tudes and varieties of life. He
has felt poverty, endured the
hardships and perilsof the wilder
ness. And now, at the age of 72
years, he is engaged in the fight
of his life —not with the wild men
of the Rooky Mountains, but with
the tax collectors and assessors of
property in New York city. Mr.
Clark contends that the house in
which he lives shonid be assessed
at only $1,680,000. In 1910 the
asseasors valued it at $3,600,000
and Mr. Clark has asked the court
to order a reduction. In resisting
this application the tax board
called many witnesses, who de
scribed the house as something
out of the ordinary. One wit
ness, an architect, gave it as his
opinion that no reigning sovereign
anywhere in the world has so fine
a house to live in. The glass
used in the bathrooms is an imi
tation of Carrara marble and cost
$37,523. Every room in tho
house has a secret entrance in ad
dition to the door. The panels are
of the most costly wood where
brass is used in other houses
bronse is used in the Clark resi
dence. All of which shows that
no matter in what kind of house
a man lives ho never grows very
fond of the tax gatherer.
