ABILENE REPORTER; Dear Slrai
lit nn address delivered hero last Fri-
day night hy Thoa. L. Blanton of Al-
bany ho mado tito following statement!
"That io had scnt to tho press qf hla
dtatrlct an opon letter giving tils posi-
tion on tho Bailey Issue and that you
refused to publish same without charg
Ing him an excessive fee. That ho had
sent a cheek to cover said amount that-
you still held check and had not as
yet published his lottor." Aa somo of
our citizens aro very anxious to know
if this statement Is truo would ask you
to answer by return mall and oblige.
Yours Respectfully

MY DEAR SIR: In answer to yours
of tho 27th. I beg to reply that Thos.
L DJanton paid tho same rates for
rending notices that morchants whose
bills run to hundreds of dollars por
year pay and tho law provides that
candidates shall pay tho regular com-
mercial rates. So much for his chargo
that we mado him pay "an excessive
foe" for prlntlpg his letter.
Now as to his accusation against us
that wo held hla check and refused to
publish his letter. It is dated
April Eighteenth; wo received it the
20th. published it in the daily Re-
porter of the 21st and in tho weekly
of the 24th. Candidate Blanton would
Impress the votera of this Judicial dis-
trict more as having the qualifications
of a district Judge if he were not quite
so reckless In accusing -men of crime
before an Investigation. It might not
suit the people for a Judge to condemn
defendants without a hearing as he
did us. But since ho Is sp reckless
In his charges against Senator Bailey
wo could not expect him to inquire Into
the facts beforo branding a reputable
newspaper with being guilty of fraud.
This is not our Idea of the kind of man
to place upon the bench and direct a
Jury in handing out imprisonment and
death to such unfortunates as might
bo accused.
Fraternally yours

The Shoplifter.
Copyright t$08.)
Inspector Hammond's particular line
was tht capture of shoplifters mate
and female but especially the latter.
Ho was a man that never forgot a
face. He also bad u largt stock of In-
tuition. This IfiBt often aided him In
spotting guilty parties and bringing
them to justice In England shoplift'
ing means certain Imprisonment whet)
detected and an arrest mado by a reg-
ular police officer.
Inspector Hammond had the run of
twenty largo retail establishments but
was known only to the managers. All
complaints came directly to him. and
at any hour In the day convenient to
him be was at liberty to stroll through
the stores and mlnglo with the cus-
tomers. Sometimes a salesman could
give him a description of the suspect
ed party but ofteiier than not bo had
only his intuition to guide him. In
time hccamo to bo so dreaded that
shoplifting bade fair to be a lost art
but there was always a daring man
or woman ready to pit wits against
his. After making hundreds of ar-
rests and winning fame for himself be
met his Waterloo.
In ono of tho big London department
stores after a period of ninety days In
which not a case of thievery bad been
reported a shoplifter suddenly began
plying her art It was Jtidged from the
first that she was a woman. She
"lifted" cloaks furs untrlmmcd bats
gloves petticoats handkerchiefs and
other things of female 'wear and she
did it so deftly that tbe Inspector had
an admiration for her. Her shoplift-
ing extended to other stores and to
Jewelry establishments. Sbo went the
rounds of ten or twelvo of them.
The first description of the suspected
party was that of a good looking mid-
dle nged woman well dressed and
seeming to have plenty of money. The
second was that of a woman fifty
years old and dressed in mourning.
Tho third was that of a' young woman
of thirty evidently living In some sub-
urban town. There were three or four
other descriptions and none of them
exactly agreed as to color of hair and
eyes. The Inspector smiled over them
and made up his mind that he had got
bold of a cute thief. He believed that
all the descriptions applied to the one
woman. That they varied so much was
owing to the fact that she was so good
at disguise. He believed tho first de-
scription to be a correct ono and that
the woman must return to it sooner or
later.
The Inspector owed much of his suc-
cess to his disguise ne never visited
an establishment twice In the same
makeup. If lie was a man about town
one day. he was a farmer the next. If
be was a mechanic asking for a pouud
of nails one day. he was an old woman
looking for cheap handkerchiefs the
next. It was these disguises that
struck terror to the hearts of tho aver-
age shoplifters. They never could tell
that tbe person at their elbow a man
or woman was not the dreaded Ham-
mond. He expected trouble from the woman
of disguises and he bad It In plenty.
She plied her trade right under his
nose. She Rot the goods and got away
timo nfter time. In one store she was
credited with forty acts of thievery.
Hammond gave up all other cases to
follow her trail. For three long months
she succeeded In evading blm. One of
her disguises during that interval was
the habiliments of a man. She waa a
youngish man a middle aged man and
an old man by turns.
A French detective camo over on an
old case that Hammond bad followed
unsuccessfully. He bad the records of
It In an old notebook In n trunk In the
garret In Kensington. He bad a wife
but no children and lived In n moder-
ate modest way Ills natural disposi-
tion was secretive and It was seldom
that even his wife could draw any-
thing out of hlro about his cases. She
bad to go n tho newspapers for most
of ber Information. The doings of the
crafty shoplifter and Hammond's 111
success lu making an arrest had been
duly chronicled but vory little talk had
paused at homo.
The Frpni'hman called at Ihp yard
and let It be known what h" wanted
and tho Inspector went home In tho
middle of the afternoon to get tho
notebook. He found his wife absent
and let himself In with his latchkey.
In the garret of the house were three
or four old chests and trunks together
with other rubbish and none of the
receptacles was locked. The man drew
ono of tho trunks to the middle of the
floor and began his search. After a
quarter of an hour ho discovered that
he had got hotd of the wrong trunk
and therefore dragged out another
The first thing Ills eyes rested on after
lifting the cover was a lot of the stuff
lie know had lieou stolen. Ho at once
examined the two other boxes and
found them literally Jammed full pt.
plunder.
No man can tell what his reeiinjp
were. It was as plain to him as dy
light nia wife was the shopllfter-AHe
never caiiie home is the afternoonami
she thus had the whole day to hefeelf
She know of all his disguises ami she
had taken lessons from him Bvon as
he sat there shinned and all n-frembte
she entered tint house with her key. and
Chm up to the garret 'with iuoe plun-
der to hide away Within the next
three days alt the- victims received
back the jtoods stolen frooMhem. Tfce
