"No; this is the first thing of the kind
I have been guilty Of" he replied.
While we convefsed at length, | found
him to be highly educated in every par
ticulsr, and model of a gentleman, and
this forced upon my mind the oft.occur-
ring cases of proud, aristocratic families
losing for their daughters husbands who
would ornament home and prove hap
piness to them through the false pride of
those whose fortunate circumstances, AND
nothing else, would not permit of a
marriage with one whose every dollar is
an honorable relic of toiling hours
I concluded to let him off on promise,
and have never since heard of his doing
anything in violation of the laws
The articles, to the value of a dollar,
were restored to their owner, and / re-
ceived the reward very gratefully. |
made known to the mayor the course /
had pursued, which met his entire
approval. From beginning to end the
name of the offender was kept concealed
and, after all, it mattered but little, since
was so successful in my first experience
of detectives life.

their fathers, the like number of cases of
parricide, with certain increase in the
increase of population, would occur in the
same three months of 1850 We were
under the operation of law seemingly
| beyond our control or recognition.
! This extraordinary theory has seemingly
| just received striking confirmation in
the Registrar Generals report of accident's
in the streets of London For MANY
years past it has been observed that for
the first nineteen weeks of the year lust
seventy four persons have been killed by
beingrun over in the public thoroughfares
1t was therefore expected from the I'M
failing law of average, that the same
number would be- killed for the first
nineteen weeks in 1869 On the 9Th day
of May, after the lapse of eighteen weeks
the number of fatal accidents of this
kind should have been seventy-nine, but
it fell four short Of that number.
obviously then, the law of average must
fail, or the accidents for the week ending
the 10th OF May must be doubled. Curl
ously enough, for the seven days from
the 9Th to the 18th, eight persons were
actually killed, instead of four, and thus
the seventY-four victims demanded by the
merciless arithmetic were fully made up.
This was certainly odd The deduction
from 1t would seem that when accidents
or crimes are in the arrear, the public
should be notified, in order that, by in
creased caution or vigilance, the expected
disasters may be avoided. We take pre-
measures against unusual
peril, which we can confidently anticipate i
we give additional props to buildings
which are to undergo an unaccustomed
strain, and double police force when
immense crowds Of people are to- be |
brought together Should there not also
be redoubled care and watchfulness
against periods which the law of average
teaches us will be more than ordinarily |
fatal ?-Noao York Post.

The late Mr.. Buckle, In his "Introduc.
ton to the History of Civilization in
England" somewhat startled the world
by announcing theory of average,which
he applied to all human actions, and from
which he argued that we might forecast
the future It was philosophy teaching
by statistics. In such space of time
there would be SO many forgeries, arsons
and murders Not only this, but the
murders would repeat themselves in the
manner of their preparation; just the
same number would be by poison, by the
pistol, by the bludgeon, etc. If in any
three months of 1920, six sens had killed

of Europe and America, and from
these selections and TRANSACTIONS are
made Of the finest articles theyteon-

us the largest stores from which to.
choose for readers. Thus, we are able 10
offer the finest productions of the ,~orittrs

progressive and imaginative articles
win only be published. In the depart
mehts of fiction it will be rich and st.
