By THOMAS R. DEAN
In New York city there is a spacious
excavation at the crossing of Broad
way and Thirty-third street which is
the entrance room of the Hudson tun
nels. There are newspaper and candy
stands, ticket offices and benches. One
afternoon a tall, bony man descended
the steps leading to this subterranean
station and looked about him wonder-
ingly.
He was Martin Granger, a Ken
tuckian, who had come from his native
state to see New York. He had taken
a tour In one of the big autocars in
which strangers are shown the metrop
olis while a conductor points out the
principal items of curiosity and com
ments on them through a megaphone.
And now he had determined to go
throngh the tunnel under the Hudson
river that he might go back to Hen
derson county, Ky., and tell his chil
dren how the great ships, some of them
800 or 900 feet long, had sailed right
over his head, while smaller boats
without number had steamed back and
forth In the same relative position.
Not knowing exactly how to get to
the cars which were to take him on
this (to him) perilous journey or per
haps wishing for time to screw up his
courage to plunge under the great riv
er, he sat down on one of the benches,
presenting a perfect picture of a south
western countryman wonder struck
with that congregation of people which
within a radius of twenty-five miles
forms the largest In the world.
He had not been there long before a
man came and sat down beside him.
But Martin Granger was not interested
In a single man, but the throngs pass
1 Ing through this station, wherein every
I thing was as much allvo underground
; as on the surface and were just as
i much alive above the surface as on It.
; The man beside him sat there but a
i few minutes, then got up and went
away.
Presently Granger noticed persons
buying tickets at a booth and put his
: hand Into his pocket for money. In
tending to do the same thing. Casting
i his eves down beside him. he saw a
small package on the bench. Ho took
It up, looked at It, then cast a glance
about him for the owner, thinking tbut
It had been left through carelessness.
A number of persons were uear, but
there was no evidence that any one
of them was the owner of the pack
age. He weighted it and found It light
no heavier than paper. He pondered
awhile as to what to do with it, then
untied a string and partly unwrapped
the covering.
Any look of surprise that had comn
over Martin Granger's face whllo in
New York was surpassed by the ono
that came upon It now. Ho looked
upon the corner of a bank bill and es-
1 pecially on the figures $100. As soon
as he regained something of his equa
nimity he lifted the corner of the Mil,
and underneath It was another of the
! same denomination. Tlio next below
this was marked $."0, the next $20,
the next $100, and so on of different
denominations. The package wa
about two Inches thick.
"What you got there?"
Granger, looking up, saw a man
standing over him regarding him with
a severe expression.
"Somebody has been powerful care
less and left a whole stnck o' bank
bills on this yere seat."
"I'm In luck," said the other. "You've
found the bills taken from the vaults
of the Trust company."
"How do you know that?" asked J
Granger. i
"I know It because I am a detctlv I
iind have been shadowing the man i
who stole the bills. I followed hltu ;
down here, and, realising that I had
him truppcd. rather than be cuoelit
with the plunder on hitn ho ant down 1
ere beside you and when he wejnt
away left It. Ills intention Is douH
less to follow you, and when you get ,
fur enough from the station and lit
thinks himself unobserved he will
claim the property
8
be on the train. When he joins you
and ask you for bis parcel I'll nab
him."
"Waal, now, ain't that line! I thort
that when 1 come to Now York I'd see
some remarkable sights, hut 1 didn't
think I'd git inter one o' them detec
tlve stories."
The man gave him a knowing look,
and Granger bought his tickets and,
descending a flight of steps leading
farther down toward the center of the
earth, found a train, which he board
ed, and was soon curried down under
the mighty waters. He seemed over
powered and did not draw a regular
breath till a guard called "All out!"
and, seeing the other passengers leave
the train, the visitor to New Yolk also
left. ;
He had no sooner stepped on the
platform before he saw the detective
looking at him. and Granger followed
him up a flight of stairs, through a
railway station and on to a ferryboat
As soon as the boat left the dock the
detective joined the Kentuckian.
"I thort you was goin' to nab the
thief," said the latter.
"He has eluded me. We'll return to
New York. You may as well turn over
the goods to me. I shall not be able
to take the thief."
Now, Granger was a countryman,
but there are few persons in the world
who have not learned the principle
that "possession is nine points of the
law."
"What am I goin' to git out o' the
find?" he asked.
"Oh, you'll get the reward. There's
$10,000 offered for the return of the
stolen goods."
"Reekon that's all right. But if you
do the returnin' how am I to git the
reward?"
"I'll report you as the finder of the
property."
"You jist tell me whar to turn it in,
and I'll go thar with it."
There was a good deal of sparring
on the part of the detective to get pos
session of the property, which failed.
Before the boat landed he explained
to the Kentuckian that the latter was
In a very dangerous position. It Hie
detective should arrest him as the
thief it would go hard with him. But
the bluff was not effective. The Ken
tuckian said that he thought he could
prove an alibi since he had reached
New Y'ork only that morning and t y
Butler could swear (o the fact since
he had come all the way from Hen
derson county with him.
"Well," said the detective, "I sup
pose I'll have to go with you to the
bank that lost the money, but it's too
lnte to go today. Tlio banks don't
keep open after 3 o'clock. You can
stay with me overnight, and we'll
turn the money over tomorrow morn
ing." The Kentuckian said he had prom
ised to stay with Cy Butler at a hotel
on the east side, but the detective ex
plained that It would not do for him
to let him go away with the money,
so Granger finally consented to spend
the nlglrt with him In bis room.
The apartment was In a cheap lht
house. The detective, as soon as they
had entered it, locked the door and
said to Mr. Granger:
"See hem. pard, there's plenty for
both of us In this deal. I'm the man
that, took that money from the bank.
There's JHfi.fXK) of It. I'll give you
J20,K). What do you say?"
"What do I suy? Why. I say I'm
1'arnln' New York powerful fast- I
thort you was a directive."
"You're a pretty good sort of cuiip,
nydled the other, "and I don't mind
taking you Into my confidence. I was
the man who sat down by you In the
Hudson tunnel station. I was trying
to get nway from a slmdower. I con
cluded to load the goods on to you till
I could get awny from him and divide
with you. All you've gut to do to ho
rich is to turn the goods back to inu
and deduct your share."
Granger looked at him with righteous
Indignation and said:
"Stranger, I've lived In Henderson
county, Kalntucky. for forty year.
Anybody tlmr'll tell you I hain't got n
dishonest ha'r In my head. I'm goin'
to turn tills money back to Hie batik
that lost It. ami don't yon forult It."
The man put out his hand and grasp
ed Granger's, saying. "Anybody M
know to look at you that you were mi
honest mini."
Holding Granger's rliMit band, the
rascal put his own left lininl to his liii
nod drew II revolver, lie hail corked
mid raised It only a part of the way
to rover bis mini when Granger, ipih-k
na a flush, put Ills hand to the bark of
his neck and drew forth a knife about
