Nc one was In sight. She could sea the blocks of marble, but no one waa hammering on them. The aound was very distinct, and she wondered what It meant. She could hear voices, too. When her eyes lit on tbe opjnn fire place and she saw a piece of stone fly from It Into the room she fell off the ladder. The noise In the room stop ped. Mrs. Francis picked herself up and hurried away as rapidly as possible. She peeped over the banister and saw some one open the atudlo door. In a moment the hammering was resumed, and Mrs. Francis hurried to police headquarters. I was In charge, as Chief Edward S. McWilliams was In Philadelphia. Mrs. Francis told me her story. I knew at once that a gang or burglars had planted the bank. From the time that they had been at work I knew they must he dose tq the money. I rang for Detective Mika Bowie, and we went together down to Exchange place, where we could pipe the bank. Mrs. Francis told me that four men were In the gang, and arter a long wait we saw two of them come out of the boarding house. In a few moments the two other fellows came out, and they all crossed the ferry to New York. I knew one of them. He was the best looking one In the gang, I had played several games of billiards with him at Taylor'a hotel, and was beaten every time. I found out afterward that he was Cummings. Bowie and I crossed over to Nafew's saloon, and got a small cob ored boy who worked there. We took him Into the boarding house and pushed him through the open fanlight Into the atudlo. The kid Jumped Into the hole In the fireplace, eaw the condition of things there and came back scared half to death. Then I waited at the house until three of tbe gang canys back. They Deemed to be In a hurry, and went to work In the vault late in the afternoon. Cummings did not return. I knew the trick was about to come off, and he had been left outotde to watch. I sent Bowie to the station house for the men, and when they returned, after making sure that Cummings was not on the lookout anywhere, 1 sent two mep to the roof of the bouse, star tloned three others In the bank, and tbe rest I placed on tbe stairs. Bowie and I, with four big nervy men, made for the room. The sound of the hammering was very distinct, but I could not tell whether the three men were In the hole or not. I Stuua nr.i against the studio door, and placed Bowre and two policemen behind me. It wae a ticklish moment, and I'll admit I felt a little uneasy, aa men of the kind we were going up against are very handy with guns. 1 gave the signal In a low voice, and we threw ourselves against the door. It was Important that the locks and bolts should be broken at the first effort, so that tha gang would not have warning. The door flew open, and I landed on my hands and knees In tbe middle of tbe room. The place was empty, and 1 jumped for the fireplace with my revolver In my hand. Bowie, one of the stoutest-heartehoys I ever knew, got there ahead of me and shouted to the gang to throw In the hole were up their bands. three men on their hands and knees and I heard them whisper to each other, but could not tell what they said. I knew that they would not give up without a battle and I felt relieved when one of the policemen shouted: 'Here are their guna. Cap. They were unarmed, and I knew 1 had them all safe. The three fellows climbed out of the hole wlta as ugly expressions on their mugs as I ever saw. One of them kept swearing all the time. They kept their hands above their heads, but I could see that they were sizing up the game as they crawled Into the room. Before we had a chance to grab them, one fellow gave me a vicious kick In the abdomen, and started for the window, "My men would have killed blm if I had not cal'.ed them off.
