About that time the o Ulcers of the City Bonk of New York illnmwcl that they bad been swindled out of 175,000 by meant of a forged check for that amount, purportliiic to bare been drawn by (oinuioilnre Vanderbilt. Nearly month iuied hrfore tbe frond woo discovered, trail In tbe mean, time several other checks for large mounts, drawn by the same party, bod been honored; so It was almost Impossible for anjr of the employes to remember with satisfactory distinctness any of the circumstances connected with tbe payment of the fraud-nlodocument. However, It was placed In the bands of a shrewd detective, and be went to work to find a dew, and trace out the mystery, Tbe ofilcer'a urst suspicion waa that oine of the clerks of the banks bad been In collusion with tbe forger, and donbtleaa shared the profits of bla crime. After two weeks scrutiny of tbe character, habits aud associations of tbe various clerks, that theory waa abandoned, and It only remained for him to gather from them, If possible, seme dew, however slight, of the bold operation. Hie first Inquiry was If any one, not in tbe babit of presenting checks, had been seen doing so within tbe past month. Only two of the clerks bad any memory on the subject, and theirs was of tbe most shadowy and unsatisfactory character. One remem-- i bered seeing a stout, elderly man drive a strikingly beautiful bla;k horse and fine carriage np to tbe bank, enter the office, and transact some business, he knew . not irti9t...nd-.w(lcDr- t singe srhich he nad not seen him. The ether clerk, after a thorough examination and nnmerona questions put to assist or qnlcken his memory, at last concluded that be did recollect a trange man, who entered the bank one day about the time the forged check was presented, and had a cheek cashed for a large amount A peculiarity In the man's necktie attracted hla attention, and be looked him full In the face and retained a vivid recollection of lie waa an amateur every feature. artist and ' especially expert In pen drawing. Taking a sheet of paper and a old pen which was lying upon the desk, he quickly prodneed a portrait which be declared to be an accurate flkeuea of the man he suspected. The officer did not look upon these dews. If such they might be railed, as promising much hope of success. He Brat exhibited the drawing to the dark who had seen the suspected rogue drive up with the line blaek horse, and ha confidently Identified It Hera at last was some encouragement Tbe first attempt was to trace tbe horse and carriage, and discover wbe owned or who had hired such a fig. The effort was unsuccessful; the fleer, however, wee convinced that a man, whoever he might be. wee an of faat and stylish horses, and therefore commenced a search the establishments devoted to Me stabling and sale of such animals, hoping that be would find some one firbe eould Identify tbe party. After going to nearly all such establishments, exhibiting the portrait, he came upon a man who recognised In the drawing as William Livingston, whom he bad known a year or two, but who had disappeared within the past mouth, after paying np some old debts and Imylng oe or two fancy horses. Farther Inlu-ei- ' nt quiry brought out the fact that Liv- ingston wee In very straitened circumstance but a few months previously, and hew he conld honestly obtain the means to pay hla old debts and gratify Ids love for horseflesh was not so clear and gave fresh encouragement to the persevering detective. To follow Liv Ingston was necessary, but how could be be traced? He had disappeared, and na one knew when or whither. .Whet, then, was to be done? Should flie trail be abandoned and tbe rase given up aa one of the mysteries that bailed solution? Never, slid the Indefatigable officer, and ha went to work with. desperate energy to nnrsvel tbe tangled skein. lie finally reached the following con elusions: The perpetrator of the forgery waa Livingston; he was a good goal of a horse fancier, and would doubtless spend a considerable portion of Ms dishonest gains In the purchase of fine stock; and, further, that the stock would be purchased In Xew Tort, as that market promised a totter selection, aud the criminal himself entirely safe from detection.
