When Dotectlve Frederick Wlnder-berger, of the Sixteenth Detective District, undertakes a thing he never lets up on it until he has completed successfully. Through this method he has cleaned up many doubtful looking cases. A year and a half ago citizen of the Eastern District, whllo attending games In McOarren Tark, lost watch which he prized very highly. He reported the matter to the Seventh Tlranch Detective Bureau, to which Wlndcrberger was attached, and he wan assigned to tho ense.

After several months of searching the citizen felt that tho watch was gone, never to return. On the other hand Wlndcrberger said thn watch would turn tip nnd be returned te Its owner. He stuck to his job. Whenever he met tho citizen ho would report that ho was still looking for the watch, but had not got any line on It. He kept look ing about, not only for the watch but (or the man who took it.

A few days ngo he called up the citizen nnd said he thought the watch had been found. Ho made an appointment with tho citizen and they went to plnce on Graham avenue where the watch was, and aftor the owner had given a complete descrip tion of tho time piece It was shown to him. It was his watch. In relating his experiences along these lines, Wlnderherger stated that he had on many occasion found pleors of Jewelry that had been taken from the person or from homes because of his determination to keep after It. He discovered a diamond ring that had been taken from a girl who had been engaged.

The missing ring caused break off of the engagement.

His sudden demise occurred yes terday morning; while seated at his utual post, alongside Hergeant Ferris at the desk, "Morris" spied a large rat endeavoring to break Into the precinct; with a tremendous spring he lsnded on the Intruder, but the exertion was too great, and the grim reaper claimed him for his own.

Letters of warm nppreclatlon have been the reward of the Crosstown conductors and motor-men who have so loyally contributed to this fund from their weekly pay envelope. The following from "Handsome" John Dale Is Just one of the many expressions of thanks that have been received: "To tho Boys at Crosstown: There Is no doubt that you' would like to know how we are making out over here. There would be a whole lot to write If we only could, but the censors forbid lis to write too much. And that's allrlght, too, because we don't use so much paperl But I must say that France Is one wonderful place for scenery, and the sights aro never to be forgotten. We don't do fighting all the time, for there Is time for a little pleasure too.

Only the other day we witnessed a show that would make Broadway stand up and take notlre. The smokes that the boys from ths depot send us certainly come In handy, for hfre It Is very hard to get smokes and chewing tobacco. This is all I can think of at present. so I am closing my letter, with lucK and best wishes to all." Dunne, Bettor Than Eycr. Corp.
