A WELL SET TRAP
Snared a Blackmailer Who Dared
to Invade Wall Street.
TRIED TO WORK JAY GOULD.
But th» Old Financiar Was Not te B»
Scarod by ■ Black Hand Lsttsr, »nd
His Partner Fixed Up a Scheme That
Cleverly Caught the Culprit.
Tbe late Jay Gould arrived at bls of
fice ODe morning in a state of mind.
"There."' he said to his favorite part
ner. Hinging down a letter which had
been addressed to Mrs. Jay Gould. “I
don’t mind their writing their scurril
ous things to me. but wben they begin
to send them to my wife it's got to be
stopped. What can you do?”
The partner first read tbe letter. Tbe
writer premised that be had lost a great
deal of money speculating in Gould
stocks, especially Missouri Pacific, and
required that be be advised bow to get
back wbat he had lost and more be
sides. Unless Mr. Gould Imparted to
him straight, bona fide money making
Information he would destroy Mrs.
Gould. Tbe manner in which be de
sired the Information to be Imparted
was this: Every morning an advertise
ment should be Inserted In the personal
column of a certain New York news
paper advising him when to buy and
wben to sell Missouri Pacific. The ad
vertisement should be written in a code
which be bad devised, so that be alone
would receive and understand the tip.
“I think I can catch him,” said Mr.
Gould's partner. "Just leave It to me.”
Mr. Gould was for calling in Inspec
tor Byrnes at once, but his partner
thought they bad better wait until
they bad laid a mine for the offender.
The partner, who had a shrewd un
derstanding of human nature, proceed
ed in an unexpected manner. It hap
pened that Mr. Gould's firm was very
active In Missouri Pacific and con-
trolled the stock’s fluctuations,
On
the next day an advertisement was
inserted, as the blackmailer bad re
quested, informing him agreeably to
his code to buy Missouri Pacific and
to watch for further instructions. Mia-
sour! Pacific stock went up. A few
days Inter another advertisement waa
Inserted telling him to sell .Missouri
Pacific. And Missouri Pacific declin
ed
Again he was told when to buy
It and again when to sell It. and wben
this had been repeated a number of
limes tbe partner was ready to spring
the trnp. lie Inserted an advertise
ment which took the blackmailer off
bls guard. It read somewhat like this:
"Missouri Pacific.—Tbe person wbo
has been receiving information to his
own profit about the movements of
tills stock has not kept faith with us.
He has been Imparting it to others.
For that reason it is discontinued.”
That was not true. There was not
the slightest reason to believe that the
black mailer bad Imparted his Informa
tion to others: there had been even
no conclusive evidence of his acting
on It for himself, as be would not be
likely to speculate on so large a scale
ns to be recognized in the stock mar
ket Rut even In a few hundred shares
at n time a man conld make ■ great
deal of money in a short time If be
knew beforehand infallibly when tbe
price would rise and wben it would
fall.
Mr. Gould's partner counted
upon the man's natural impulse wben
accused of having, by his own lack
of discretion, slain his goose. The im
pulse would be to deny that be bad
broken faith. The chances were that
he would deny It by letter. The trick
was to nail him as he mailed the letter.
Inspector Byrnes was now called
into the case. The accusing advertise
rnent was printed on Sunday morning,
so that if the blackmailer posted a
letter during tbe day ft would be all
tbe easier to catch him.
Inspector
Byrnes stationed a man at every mall
box in tbe postal district from which
the original letter of threat bad l>een
posted to Mrs. Gould. Every man wbo
posted a letter anywhere in that dis
til t that Sunday was under suspicion.
Before he was out of sight a detec
tive. under pretense of i>osting one of
his own. bad opened tbe box with tils
pass key and had inspected tbe letter
last deposited.
And Just before dark a letter ad
diessed to Jay Gould was posted by a
web dressed young man. wbo ten min
utes later was in tbe office of Inspecter
Byrne* protesting Indignantly and de-
< rit.g hi» family connections. He did
i >t know on what evidence be bad
been taken, Mr. Gould'» partner was
smnmoued. and he opened the letter,

The writer warmly and truthfully da-

OLD RUSSIAN PROVERB.
Born of Ono of the Mott Tragio Epi*
•odoi In Muecovito Histery.
The itusaian peasaut has a saying
which invariably puzzles the foreigner,
"Too polite and die like Bekovitch.”
The proverb refers to one ot the moot
tragic episodes in Muscovite history.
In the early spring ot 1717 Prince
Bekovitch Cheraski led an armed ex
pedition consisting of 4.000 infantry
and 2.000 cavalry into the then almost
unknown interior ot south central
¿Ma.
His ostensible object was to open up
commercial relations with the khans of
Khiva and Bokhara, his real one to
see If it were possible to invade India
from the north.
The prince, with whom were many
officers of the imperial bodyguard, a
brilliant company, marched his men
across the arid steppes with difficulty
and on Aug. 15 baited some eighty
miles from the city of Khiva.
The Kbivans. ignoring bis profes
sions of friendship, attacked tn force,
but were easily defeated by the better
armed and better disciplined soldiers
of the czar.
Their khan thereupon resorted to
diplomacy. He visited tbe Russian
camp in state, explained that tbe at
tack delivered by bis people was ali
a mistake and Invited Prince Beko
vitch and his principal officers to visit
bls capital as bls guests.
Two days later, at a grand entertain
ment. tbe khan toasted bis “friends the
Russians" and vowed eternal friend
ship. He also took tbe opportunity of
requesting Prince Bekovitch to divide
his army Into small detachments for
entertainment in tbe surrounding vil
lages. regretting the inability of bls
capital to entertain so many guests.
The Russian commander politely
agreed to the politely preferred request,
the Russian force was broken up. and
tbe khan laughed sardonically.
His turn bad come. Early next day
be killed Bekovitch and forwarded his
bead as a gift to the khan of Bokhara.
Then he annihilated the Russian army.
The drunkard will have none of me.
The heavy drinker says “no” when my
name is mentioned.
The man who craves rough—strong—
whiskey passes me by.
All this is as it should be—as I myself
would wish it I am not for them.
