THE SECRET CIPHER.

'Xliat "something eleo." Ah! my heart sanK within mo as I Hung nsido tho enig matical puzzlo beforo mo, and, leaning back in my chair, gave mysolf up to the gloomy \ reveries of tho past. Emma Dayton—how I' I loved her! How well I remember tho i bitter parting—a hopeless one, it seemed to mo—when I learned my fato from her father's lips, and passed down tho brown stone steps of the Dayton mansion, wonder ing if tno inclination of moneyed men toward stono residences was not caused by tho existence of a similar hard material in that part of tho human anatomy known as tho heart. I was a poor man, he said, and the profes sion of a detective was not an aristocratic one. My position had been a very different ono ; but a bank robbery had reduced mo and many better men to absoluto want. I followed the advice of a humble friend, and became a "detective." It was in my better days I made the acquaintance of Mi- Day ton. His daughter loved me—he could not deny that; but sho was his only child, and her wealth and position demanded a match with some social equal. Ho would not break her heart by absolutely refusing to sanction our engagement; but if within a year I should secure a fortune of £5,000 and a lucrative business, and Emma was Btill of the same mind—well, ho would con sider it. Fivo thousand pounds ! I grow sick at heart at the thought of tho conditions im posed upon which I was to purchase ray future happiness. Friendless, the recipient t of a meagre salary, and utterly unknown, where was I ever to raise this amount; and what business capacity had I, the son of parents who had given mo every luxury, and neglected a practical education, until a crash camo that left us homeless, and in penury ? Day and night for over a month I brooded over my sorrows, and then one day I was aroused into renewed life by the_ recep tion of a formal but courteous notice from Mr Dayton, requesting my immediate presence at his housp. My feet seemed winged as I hastened to his house. What did it mean ? Had ho re lented? Was Emma ill, or did business await mo at tho pleasure of my hard-hearted censor? I was ushered into the library, » where I found the old gentleman in an in tense state of excitement, pacing tho floor, the window broken in, papers and boxas scattered about the apartment, and a safe in the corner broken open. I stared at him in amasement. "You seem agitated, Mr Dayton," I ventured to suggest. "Agitated! agitated, sir? I am wild! Late last night or early this morning burg lars entered this apartmmt by means of yonder window, and broke open the safe. When I came down this morniug I found affairs as they now are, and nearly twenty thousand pounds in money, bonds, and ;. jewels gone !" I stared mutely. Tho immensity of the robbery petrified me. "You have informed the police ?" I asked when I could find my voice. "No I" he thundered, coming to a full atop. I have no confidence in a police force which fails to protect a house from such an audacious burglary, and expects one half the booty for its return. Here is the roem, and Cder is a list of tho stolen property. I be e you are honest, and I leave the entire affair in your hands. Call upon me for whatever money you require in an attempt to recover the property or to detect the thieves. If you succeed within a month I will give you six thousand pounds. If you fail I will pay your expenses for the month, and place the case in other hands. Are you satisfied ?'; I gasped spasmodically. Six thousand pounds ! A fortune more than the price of my happiness ! And then the pride of my profession came to my aid, and I told him that I should succeed. I examined the apartment. The burg lary had been effected very simply ap parently. Edward, the footman, a tall, lank specimen of humanity, had heard a noise in the night in tho library, but had paid no attention to it, as Mr Dayton was in the habit of writing very late, and he thought it was his employer. What puzzled me most was the means of entranceand egress adopted by the burglar or Wglars. The library was fully fifteen feet from tho ground, had a bay window, and, except the broken glass, there was not the slightest sign to show how the win dow had been gained. A ladder would have done it, but no marks of a ladder, no signs of footsteps exhibited themselves in° tho damp ground, wet from recent

rams. I was sorely puzzled. I examined the servants one by one, but could find no clue to justify the remotest suspicion of compli city in the affair on -their part. The work had evidently been done by scientific burg lars, and they had worked at their leisure. I inquired into the antecedent of Edward, the footman ; but Mr Dayton averred that ha would allow no suspicion to rest on so faithful a servant of the family. I resolved to inquire more in regard to him, however; but I found nothing against the man, and temporarily dismissed him from my mind as having any connection with the case. " Youneard no noise on the night of the robbery?" I inquired of Mr Dayton. "None." I slept unusally heavy last night." I went away thoughtfully, for I had found in the library an empty bottle, which, from the scent, I knew toTia^e contained chloro form, and had noticed the marks of muddy boots leading from the apartment, while around the windows nono were to be seen. The glass, too, had been broken by a quick blow, not cut out. Altogether, it was a most mysterious piece of business. After three days of unremitting toil, I was considering if it would not be as well to call in professional assistance, when the ad vertisement in the "Standard," at the head of thi3 story, attracted my attention. Instinctively I divined some connection with "crooked" business, and whether it referred to my case or not, I reßolved to ascertain its meaning. I went down to the "Standard office that morning, and introducing myself, at tempted to obtain some description of the person who had handed in the advertise ment. The clerk stated that it had been received by mail, in a letter enclosing the amount reqmisite. for its insertion in the paper. .Could I see the original copy ? He would see; and a mes sage wns sent to the composing room for it. It, was written in a disguised hand, on a little scrap of paper. I asked leave to retain it, and the permission grMited mo, I returned to roy room. Ipou red over the cipher for a long time, and discouraged at my inability to make oufone word of it, was finally about to ' abandon it, when I chanced to look at the reverse Bide of the paper. There were figures and words on it, and I read " South western Railway Bonds," and other memo randa, indicating that it had been a loose wrapper for valuable papers. Then I knew that the advertisement bore an important relation to the robbery. And so, until the day upon which the story opens, I was unable to make head or tail of the secret enigma. '-.'■■ So wearied was I that I fell asleep with my head upon my desk, and did hot wake until noon. It is wonderful how a brief re pose will clear the mind. I took up the papeyvith renewed energy, and a bright idea flashed over me. ■. Simple as it was, I had not thought of it before. The entire message was written on the system of a substitution of letters, based on the reversal of tho alphabet. Thus, instead of writing "a," the first letter of the alphabet, "/,,' the last one, was substituted; instead of "b," "y" was used —the alphabet reversed was the key to the solution of the puzzle. I gave utterance to a shout of joy, for, following out the theory, it read : "Labry: Meet me Saturday night at 927, Fire-street.—Ned." And " Ned," or Edward, was the name of Mr Dayton's footman. I began "to see a very large mouse." But Fire-street— there was no such thoroughfare in the city, and I was "floored " again. Gradually, however, the thought occurred to mo, on the basis of reversal and oppoßites adopted by the sender of the message, why should not "fire" mean "water," its direct reverse 1 I dashed down tho stairs, and hailing a cab (for I did not forget that it waa Satur day, and that that evening was the appointed time for. the meeting of the two burglars, if m£m.... ;VrtJif»i~*Bfi;i»y" T uana hiul reached. Water-..

I paused, disappointed, and dismissed the vehicle, again having recourse to the PJ"1"; ing enigma. So near tho solution, and yet doomed to be balked at the last, and A sudden inspiration of renewed energy, and I had forged tho last link in tho chain of evidence ! There had bocn a reversal in the order of numbers, from 1 to 10, as in the letters of tho alphabet, and 927 moant I looked at my watch ; three o'clock. I went to the nearest local telegraph office, and sent tho following dos«atch tothochiof of the police : " Send to this ollico thrco efficient men in plain clothes.1' I signed my narao, lit a cigar, and awaited tho arrival of ovoninp and my companion officers. It was dark when wo reached tho placo for meeting appointed by the two men. It was a vile groggery kopt by a woman, and a resort for tho very lowest class of ruffians. I had put on a folt hat and a pair of falso whiskers, and I entered the bar-room, having first placed my mon in advantageous positions on tlio outside. Within half-an-hour there entered an old woman, veiled, bearing somo bulky object under her cloak. She made a sign to tho woman behind the bar, and went into tho next ■ room. I caught sight of her foetiw sho passed through tho door ; thoylworo in cased, not in shoes, but in man's boots. I went quiotly to tho bai1, and mndo a sign to I the woman.

"Is Larry in thcro ?" I inquired in a loud vcico, pointing to tho other apartment. She looked at mo sharply, and then replied in the affirmative " Keep out anybody that comes," 1 said, significantly. "We're going to divide the swag." And I opened tho doov. There was no ono in the first room, but in the second, by a tablo, on which lay a largo tin box, was my gamo -Larry, the burglar, and a tall spare furm in female attire, with voil thrown back, and torrilied faco—tho footman, Edward. " You can drop on my little dodge, gen tlemen," I said, quietly whipping out a brace of revolvers. " The houso is sur rounded, and any resistance will only inako it worso for you. Larry, open that door." Ho unbolted tho rear door under tho silent, persuasive eloquence of my revolver, and the throe officors entered.

Need I tell you tho rest ? Edward, tho footman, had admitted his accomplice^ into the houso, and had chloroformed his em ployer. Ho had kopt the booty hidden in his room, not daring to go out to communi cate with his pal except as has been seen, for fear he was watched.

The property had not, been disturbed ; but justice was cheated, for both men es caped before conviction, and where nover heard of again. As for mo, I quiotly handed ono thousand pounds to the department, ro signed, engaged in business, and married Emma.—" Prizo Tit Bit."

THE WIDOW'S BABY

Any unfortunate being who ever attempted to smuggle anything from tho Continent, and fell into tho hands of Captain Peter M"uggins, of her British Majesty's Customs, on landing at Dover, never forgot the cir cumstance. The captain was tho one to vindicato tho honour of tho said British Majesty. He was a short, stout, red-faced, well-fed, and exceedingly ill-tempered son of Mars. His martial tread and loud-voiced oaths did not convey the idea of a carpet-knight, yet ho had nevor faced the foe, nor "sought the bubble repntation at the cannon's mouth.' No, ho had contented himself with filling the "Queen's Tobacco pipe," as tho kiln where contraband goods were formerly burned was somewhat profanely styled. The captain was prepared to " fix " any one who carried ashore one cigar, ono inch of lace, a pair of gloves, or any other item. As he stood thus, watching tho coming ashore of the passengers with a "stony British stare," he espied a lady who walked with tho gentle, appealing, uncertain step of a young widow. She was followed by a nurse, wearing the cap and apron of a French bonne ; and in the arms of this nurse was a baby, in long and flowing white robes. The captain was on the alert. Tho lady camo up to him, and, throwing back her long crape veil, addressed him in deep, musical accents : " You are the custom officer, sir?" " I am," responded tho captain, rather gruffly. Now, the widow was sufficiently beauti ful to disarm even the ill-nature of Captain Muggins, and just the style of beauty he would be sure to admire.

The widow was beautiful, with a clear, brown eye—or, rather, two of them—velvet lidded, heavy fringed, full and languid, prone to he cast down modestly and up raised suddenly, to the no small confusion of the luckless male bystander. She wore the full attire of woe. A small crape bonnet, with a slight frost-work of white under" its brim, rested on her glossy black hair. Such hair! waving, and shining, and blue-black. HerTbrow, so smooth and broad, was un disfigured by lunatic fringe or bang. Hor eyebrows were black and delicate, but straight, not arched. Her noae might be a trifle large, but it was beautifully formed and clearly chiselled; and h«r mouth waa beautiful, the lips so full, so heartlike, in their proud arch, their colouring so fresh and rich.

Then her complexion was of a soft, ruddy, indescribable brunette tint, impossible to picture in words, but wholly charming; her chin was so finely moulded, and her thraat full and round.

Altogether, the irascible captain thought "The finest woman I've seen for years!" For the widow's form fully equalled her face, and she was handsomely dressed. " I am, madam," he repeated. " Where is your luggage?" "Here it is. I am alone—that is with the exception of my nurse asd baby. I have to travel so much now and always alone."

Tears seemed very close to the widow's lovely eyes, »od a mournfully appealing tone touched even the ironclad heart of Captain Muggins. "All right, ma'am. Hare nothing to declare, I suppose J" "Nothing. Please examine my trunks, for I long to rest, and my baby has been quite seasick, poor darling," The trunks were examined carefully ; for, however fine a woman the widow might be, "duty before sentiment" was tho captain's motto. Nothing was found, and tho trunks were passed. The widow took her baby from the nurso's arms, and hushod it to sleep as it had evinced signs of disquietude by begin ning to whimper. " A fine child, ma'am," Kaid tho captain, who hated babies like poison. "Is he not beautiful, my Henry ?— tho image of his dear—oh !" a sob completed the sentence.

He was beautiful—at least as much as could be seen of him, for he waß one mass of laoe and embroidery, his rosy face half concealed by a filmy veil.

"He is a fine fellow—how old might he be?" The captain's parboiled eyes shone with interest, he admired the widow more every moment. "Seven months to-morrow—poor little darling ! To think how much ho has travelled 1"

" He has, ma'am ?"

" Yes; by his dear father's strange will I live six weeks in Paris and six in England alternately." " Rather troublesome for you, ma'am." "Oh, I don't mind for myself," said the bewitching widow, with a swift upward flush of her adorable eyes ; " but my poor little boy—fancy, I might risk hiH health, might even lose him." Here she seemed about to give way to her feelings, but just then the captain murmured " Oh, I hope not," sympathetically, the bonne came up to say that the carriage waited, and with a hurried, "Thank you so much—good-by," the beautiful widow disappeared. "Ah! that's something like a woman!" ejaculated the captain, as he resumed his official duties. He felt that Providence had been guilty of gross injustice in not provid ing him with just such a wife, instead of poor, faded, weak-eyed, heart-broken Mrs Muggins. In three weeks the beautiful widow re turned to France, and in six weeks she again had her luggage examined by the Cap tain, who became more deeply interested than before. This sort of thing continued for nearly a year. Captain Muggins was now violently enamoured of thelovely widow, who long ago had informed him that her name was Mrs Cecil, and that her husband's death had left her very wealthy, though sadly inconvenienced by the terms of his strange will. Master Henry throve apace; he grew wonderfully large and heavy, and was a re markably good boy—so quiet. " He is quite a sailor," said the captain, as ho stood examining the trunks after rather a stormy voyage. "Yes ; and, poor darling, he cried so very dreadfully during the passage, he is quite worn out."

When the widow and the captain had been acquainted a year or so the bead officer of tho department sent for Captain

He received him in his private office, and remarked as soon as he saw him :

"I sent for you, Muggins, for I know you're very sharp." "Thank you, sir," replied tho captain, plcapod by tho compliment. " Well, Muggins, I liavo eomothing rather unpleasant to say."

" Yes, f-ir." Tho captain folt rather alarmed. " I'vo rocoived information that a noted smuggler has been getting ahead of us for a year, bringing over diamonds, lacos, &c. — thousands of pounds worth of valuables. I have known it for somo timo; but though I'vo tried every way, I'm blowed if I can spot him." Tho captain's red face grow redder. "I hope, sir, you don't imagine that I neglect my duty ?" ho said humbly. Liko all other bullies, he was a groat coward.

" No, I don't. But it is quite possiblo that somo ono has been a little too smart for you." "I scarcely think that possible," said tho captain indignantly. " Well, well, tho thing is that tho game is going on, and I want to toll you what I am going to do. I've sent to Scotland Yard for one of their sharpest men, and he'll bo on the wharf tho noxt trip." No crimson dye of Eastern fame could equal tho tint of Captain Muggins's faco. A detective put on /it's wharf —to overlook him!

Ho dared not oiler a remonstrance ; but anyone who know him could judge for theinsolvea what a nice timo his wito and daughter would onjoy when ho returned to his homo, as they were always the helpless victims of his fury when any indignity was put upon him by outsiders. 110 left tho ollico and returned to his duties. His blood boiled with indignation, and ho scarcely replied to tho many ques tions asked him during the day by those with whom ho ramo in contact through his official position. When tho steamer arrived and hor pas sengers flowed ashore in a stream, tho captain espied the widow advancing with her usual smilo, her nurso and her baby. " Ah ! how arc you my friend?" snid tho charmer, in her usual soft, melodious accents, " Will, thank yon. How is Master Homy ?" •' (3)», so well, so beautiful!" The trunks were pa-sod, and after a few pleasant words tho widow prepared to do part, but just as Julia, tho bonne, had announced tho carriage, a quiet-looking man. in a salt-and-poppor suit, stopped up and laid a profane hand on tho beautiful shoulder of tho charming widow. "Caught again, Iky!" ho said, in a pleasant manner. Tho widow started. Sho glanced.around in terror, alarm. " No use, Iky !" said tho ealt-and-peppor man. " I've been wondering why you k«pt so quiet. Gamo up, old boy." Tho captain stood by in speechless amazo mont uhilo the detective arrested tho beautiful widow. And the baby, Master Henry, what of him ? Ho was disrobed of his laco and his em broidery, and ho proved to bo one mass of smuggled goods adroitly built together on tho foundation of a bottle of the best Fronch brandy, and furnished with 'a waxen face and an apparatus to make a noise resembling tliu cry of an infant. The captain is still employed as an officer of Her Majesty's Customs, but ho is more humblo, lor his beautiful widow was a uuart youug smuggler from Paris. Ho was singularly handsome und made up well us a woman, and ho had brought thousands of pounds' worth of valuables through right befoio the redoubtable captain's noso ; and as long as the oaptain lives ho will never hear tho last of tho widow's baby.—Prize Tit Bit.

THE ART OF INTERVIEWING.

[By an- Amkrican Intkktikwkr.]

Tiik American public have got use to inter viewing ; tlioy not only submit to it, thoy expect and enjoy it. It is, indeed, not without an ellbrt that peoplo outside the States can understand tho extont \o which wo havo yielded to tho intervention of the " newspapor man." There is not much divinity hedging a Cabinot Minister in America ; and the man who has risen in politics in America must submit without a murmur to discus.-i his projects and pros pects, his income and his porsonal prefer ences, his taste in dress and hia love affairs, with any casual roporter who happens to fancy that a column of copy may bo made out of a conversation with Mr Secretary A. oc General B. Does a lady in select circles in Washington or Brooklyn manifest aver sion for hor husband or too much fondness for ono of his friends ? The reporter comes along as a mutter cf course, and politely asks a few of the questions which in Eng land are not usually put, except in tho presence of Sir James Hannen. Does a •' big steal " occur in one of the public de partments? Long before tho matter has come into tho luw courts the case haa beon tried by newspaper, through the agoncy of a swarm of reporters. Is a criminal lying in gaol under a sonsational charge of murder ? He must look forward to making the acquaintance of the roporter no less con fidently than that of the hangman—or rather a great deal more, for he is sure to see the one, and by no means certain to meet the other in a professional capacity. The life of a reporter attached to a big American daily is by no means an easy one. He must be capable of any amount of fatigue ;he must never know what it Is to bo tired ;ho must live in continual watch fulness, lest perchance a rival should steal an interview with some desirable personage before him; he must havo that species of tact which consists in knowing what are just the right questions to ui-k just the right people ; ho must own the art of being able to converse easily and affably with all sorts and conditions of men: and ho must on occasions poesoa*, or assume if he haye it not, a front of triple brasa. The last is by no means his least qualification. Even in America there are people who will seek to snub an interviewer if they can—nay, will even refuse to speak to him at all. On one occasion, I remember, I was ordered to interview General Sherman, to ask him what arrangements had been made to pre serve order at the time when Garfiold was lying on his death-bed, and excited mobs were gathering in tho streets threatening to storm tho gaol and lynch tho murderer. This was my first meeting with tho grim old warrior. I was shown into his room, ltvid my card down on hie desk, and waited. He looked at my card, and then said, lWoll?" I explained to "old Tecumsoh" tho object of my errand. He looked at my card again, " sized me up" from head to foot, and then blurtoj out, "Do you sup pose I am going to tell you what I intend to do ? The general of the army is not in the habit of talking about what he intends to do. No, sir." And then he glared. This was discounting, but I thought 1 would try what a little bounce on my own part would do. When the General had finished hia speech I rested both hands on the desk, looked him right in the face and said, " Because you are the General of the .urmy I come to you. You are not to re gard me as a private individual, but as the representative of the —. —, whose business it is to gain information and enlighten the people." This or a similar phrase, by the way, is the invariable resource of tho American roporter when any one questions his right of cross-examination, and it rarely fails of success. It did not fail in this case. Sherman gave me a curt " Sit down," and then proceeded to answer my questions. It was during the Garfield episode, I sup pose, that American interviewing reached its climax. Wo Washington reporters did a, great trade in intervieAvs then. A report of a conversation with anybody about the President, from " Bob "Lincoln, his private secretary, to the sentry on duty at the gate of tho White House, would always fetch mdney from a Now York or a Western paper. For many weeks at this period I myself and many of my colleagues passed a large portion of our waking time, and al most the whole of what should have been our sleeping time, about the precincts of the White House. As soon as th« shades of evening began to draw in we gathered in the Executive office iike—well, I must use the simile—like crows ; for we frequently went the- c expecting to hear of the patient's death every minute. At half-past ten every night all outsiders were turned out of the White House. But we reporters could not afford to go. We used to sit down on the stone steps outside the mansion, and there, engaged in the national amusement of "draw poker," would we wait patiently sometimes till the small hours of the mem ing, on the chance of seeing a Secretary of State or one of the doctors of somebody else who might be asked a few questions. More exciting a good deal, and not so pleasant, was the attention we had to pay for over a year to Garfield's assassin. How many times I interviewed Guiteau's keepers and custodians I should find it difficult to say. In England you expect to have tho reporters admitted to an execution of course. But in America we go further than that. The night before Gniteau's execu tion we spent in the gaol! What a night that was, and the day that followed it 1 I

Of course, however, it is not with the actors in politics that the interviewea it ex clusively concerned. Tho reporter expects, and is expected, to bo present at balls, parties, picnics, and social gatherings of all kinds. Nor need ho shrink from doaling with eucli affairs of purely personal and domestic interest as marriages or ongago ments whon tlioy aro between peoplo of wealth and sooial position. All is fish that comes to his not j'and if ono day ho has to visit a prison to extract some informa tion from a wrotched culprit, on the noxt it may bo his duty to drop in on a wedding party nnd ask tho father or tho husband of tho bride how he likos his position. I waa ono night assignod to write up the wedding of tlio daughter of a very wealthy but very vulgar Congressman who had been olocted from the Far West. Tho affair was very grand in all rcspocta. Tho fond parent, who had been drinking sovoral cocktails to sustain himself during the try ing ordeal, took particular pains to impress on 1116 that tlio bride's dress was mado by Worth, gave mo a full catalogue of the presents, and asked me " to inako a bang up notice of tho affair, old follow." As I was leaving, in a voico shaken by omotion and whisky, ho pressed on 1110 a small box, which I supposed containod a piece of tho wedding cako. Whon I got to tlio offico I oponod th» box, and found it containod—a small coin, value one shilling. Wo " News paper mon " do our best, but it h not easy for us to koop up tho dignity of tho Press under all circumstances. —" St. James's Gazette"
