observed a decent looking man take a small
piece of beef off a butchers stall in the mar

wore. The official notified the butcher of
the fact, but the latter said that so decent
a man must have been driven by want to the
commission of the act. The officer determin-
ed to watch the needy man, and following
him for 4 considerable distance, observed him
going into a house in the upper part of the
, city. The policeman knocked at the door,
| which was opened by the man, who, upon
2 seeingthe officer begged him for Gods sake
| not to arrest him. The officer went into the
house, where he found a scene of restitution,
in the midst of which were four shivering
