The Paris papers have recently been temiigtue following interest ing story: 4 . , Mr, Hiram. S. Maxim, whose : name is well known among electri l eians, has Just given a new illnstra tion of-the tenacity - of purpose which is 'the main foundation of r American character. During the bummer of 1882 Mr. Maxim, then at the Grand Hotel, in,: Paris, was . , robbed, pM3,000 by two imen, one ot wnom-i described .himself as a Captain in the United States Navy, and the other as an Irishman, of means.- The disappearance of the money -Mr. Maxim did not mind muchfrbat he felt greatly provoked , ' at being xobbedi and vowed to get . even with the rascals. So he went to work and freely advertised in . French, English and American , . nettspapers, asking for any infor . mation about the two thieves, f He soon ' learned that they were both ,. Englishmen who had been thieving -" - for about six years and bad collect- 1 ed quite fortune, formally regis -, tered to their credit in several ..: . large dties ol Europe. - He learned i ' also that; 1 the tall . fellow, who pre tended ; to belong to the American " uavy, was Jack Hamilton, who was m witu trie notorious Joiin u. fiee- nan at the international prize fight ' between Heenan and Savers. ! His . companion, a. middle-sized man was ' a bookmaker named John ' Palmer, representing himself as an ; , . Irish lord iirLritf.., j. --::. irar - With all this intelligence i well stored in nis memory, Mr. Maxim - started for London in September, ' . 1H82. Eight in the Strand, on the . -, -vVery day of his arrival there! "he met the two thieves chatting gayly together. 1 seize them both t)y - the collar was for the electrician . ' the work of a second; but the bulky Hamilton snook aim on and, ran . awayr Palmer waa unable toe cape, ' and was taken to the ow , street police station, where hej was carefully searched 'by-the police- - men, who found in his possession a bundle of counterfeit bank notes. He was locked up. , . , . K - Mr. Maxim was so overjoyed that , be did not get o wink of sleep all . -, night. , But the next morning when he was, acquitted, to the Ameri ' ' : can's disgust, oh. the ground that t , . r the) theft, ; haying (been .committed xv-'j on foreign t soil, the, -court .Ijad no jarisdictiori. - As 40 the counterfeit bank notes, there was no proof that ' the prisoner bad tried to use them, so he, went, away; laughing at Mri Maxim, and made such good use of . y Lis liberty, that for a jear he could s not ve itacm any wnere. ' v . '', ,', But few days ago, while read ; ing about a robbery committed in , .Paris, , Mr. Maxim recognized at .j.tiOnco bis own robbers' systm.l He nacked uD his 'valise, left London in a ' hurry, and arrived im Paris tho dav before the Grand Prix, -.The Superintendent of nolice. '-Mr. 'Mace, was only too glad to put at ' ' his disposal two of his detectives, who, on the racing day, searched the ring, the,platformSj the whole grounds and, tneir neighborhood, but all to no avail. Yet the two thieves had worked there most con Bcientioasly. ; - ,?. . Mr. Maxim thought of tW prov- c;b, "A game thrown np is a game h-1," and started back to London T1.3 traia had just ' stopped at Kor.cr, f 1 -the tenacious electri cian v. 3 1 ilsg upon the carriage (I : i x con hiannsnccesslu e i 'i of V ! s day before, when, al c: .. r ), La sL&utCd with joy ( t'-3 rar.rr.!3 in tie ciille , - , p ff Y"X" ' V"i .

"It's a thief I am arresting. Call the police !" 1 ,. . Ofceurse, while the interpreter of. the railroad fcompany: was look ing for the police, 'Jack Hamilton boarded the train. ; . . "All right," thought Mr. Maxim, "I hold only one, but I'll - hold him well." ' . .'. :' !"- At that , very moment the loco motive whistled and the train slowly started, .when Palmer, with final struggle, shook - off tne American's grasp, leaving his coat t.u:j - - -.i x i it... -I UCUIUU U1U1, , i USiltlU lUWill U IUV train and jumped on the steps of a railroad carriage, clinging to the iron hand rail which runs on each side. But Mr. Maxim was not the man to ' be baffled so easily, and when Palmer turned round' on the steps it was to . find himself nose to nose with his pursuer, who clung with his left hand to the hand rail and took hold ; of : the. thiePs neck with the other. ".!"; Then, while the train was accel erating its speed, a terrific fight occurred between ,, the two men, standing, at imminent peril to their ives, on tne narrow plank outside of the car. - Palmer, whose strength was quadrupled by fear, did all he could, with his only free arm his feet and his- head, to throw his ad versary nnder; the wheels. The American reniained as firm "as !a rock- - IiiHeusible to-- tbehard knocks of the Englishman, he tight ened his grip- and held fast to his prisoner. From; all the car doors heads were , thrust forth to watch the struggle, and cries of "Stop, stop, enough V, rent the air. , Sud denly tne train ran into a tunnel. Tho terrified clamor of the travel lers was then , heard by the engin eer, who began slowing the train. As soon as the locomotive had slackened its motion, Mr. Maxim let go the hand rail and flung John Palmer on the ground, where both lell together, and while the train was Btarting. again, the two men, still fighting, went back through iuo iuuuw uuu met me rauroaa in - -1 1 . A.I . i -1 : a - terpreter and the police. . ' Mr. Maxium was, of course, in a pitiable condition; his face covered wun oiood and ms dress torn to pieces. ; But what was that to him T His eyes flashed with , the joy of triumph. At last he had one of the scoundrels who had cost him so much trouble. " "1,; "Sir," said Palmer to him, when manacled , by the policeman, ) 'be Kind enougn to withdraw your com piainc and l will pay back to ' you whatever you have been robbed of and all your expenses since June. 1882." v.l :--if "Mr. TIllef.,,, quietly answered the American, I am very glad to have had you arrested. In a few minutes, when French justice! has got you m a secure place, I'll have to taite. leave irom you in order to find out your worthy friend, whose absence you will, l presume, ery Keenly reel in your prison." ; t. iso Calmer was locked up, and Mr. Maxim has resumed the search for the other thief. h .
