And this was the ninre rfm n rk Able liecanso riin seldom see a "bottle' nose on such a person. I became interested in my com panion. He was dressed rather oddly. He wore corduroy pants and a thick knitted woollen jacket, coarse, ill fitting shoes and a greasy skull cap completed his costume. When we ianded from the boat, a; the railroad wharf, he carried ashore, in his hand, a queer look ing hand satchel. It was almost a perfect cube in shape, evidently made of wood, covered with leath er. He was ridiculously careful with his precious satchel lifting it with both hands and scrupulous ly intent on keeping it level. I was close behind him when ho stepped from the boat to the wharf and I noticed that when his foot touched the floor of. the landing place, a' distinct clicking sound was heard to proceed from his baggage. I would not have paid much atten tion to this had not the man dashed his eyes at me, evidently desiring to know whether I had heard the B-UO.

Was I not a detective'? Was it 'not my duty to follow this man worm his secret from h:m and ar rest him ? Had I not read of per sons who went about with infernal machines ready to blow up houses ? 1 This was evidently a case of - - i n -' ferna! machine.'' This man, not- withstanding his pure accent, was plainly a foreigner an anarchist. He did not want any one to hear ' the working of his deadly machine. Besides, the box, satchel or valise or whatever you might call if, was a queer affair too queer to be passed by. I determined to shadow him. When he had arranged hp- tor pedo, or whatever it was, to his satisfaction, under his seat in the car, he proceeded to go asleep im mediately. I'll at looked suspicious he did not want to talk, and thus fei-ned si eep. I watched him all the way to Goldsboro : out could advance no further in my investi gations. At Goldsboro he bought a ticket for Kaleigh so did I. He went through the same careful manipu lations with his precious baggage, as before. I wanted to telegraph to some one in Raleigh to look out for this man : but I knew no one there. So I took out my instruc tions from Wax, which 1 considered my credentials as a ective, and looked at them. I concluded that 1 I,;ui lthority to arrest my 8alluw hlced lellow traveller the moment he -ould do anything worthy oi a conspirator.

As soon he stiuc h avetteville street (the rascal seemed to know all about the town, he turned up toward:3 the capital lie then walked quite briskly until he reached Fasrach's jewelry store.
