English ladies Miss Dyas held up her dress with
her right hand, in which she also carried porte
m0nnaie, which contained $40 bill, gold pencil
case an English sovereign and half sovereign and
some small English silver change. While between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, on the west side
Of Fourth avenue, genteel looking slender
built and well dressed young man, Of about IS
years Of age dashed alongside OF her and violently
snatched the pocketbook from her hand. Miss Dyas,
though surprised and startled, yet with with gen.
une English pluck run for q short distance and
gave an alarm, crying out ''Stop thief stop
thiefl' The thief ran ahead and toward Nine
teenth street; but just then Onicer Seaver, OF the
Eighteenth precinct came quickly from the other
side of Fourth avenue, opposite the residence
OF DR.. Doremus. and the thief finding that
he was about to be folded in the embrace OF po-
liceman, turned with great speed and run from the
avenue and eastward through Eighteenth street
toward Irving place. At this point the chase still
continued, ana the admirer Of pocketbooks
dashed up Irving place and run into the areaway
of q private residence. between Nineteenth and
twentieth streets. Officer Seaver testfes that he
never lost sight OF the young man, who gave his
name as Horatio Raymond at the station house,
from the time Miss Dyas gave the alarm until he
kenneied him in the areaway.

And now comes the strange part OF the story.
While Ofrcer Seaver was expanding his breath be-
tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, Ofncer
James Cannon, of the mounted squad OF police sat
his horse like Mars at the corner Of Fifteenth street
and Irving place. The pursuit Of Raymond
created some confusion in his street, and
person run down Irving place and in
formed Ofhcer Cannon that there was q thief
up the street. The valiant rider set spurs
20 his Arabian steed and galoped up the street.
When he got to the corner OF Eighteenth street he
saw four young men who afterwards gave their
names as James Burns, Thomas Dugan, Chris
ing rom Eighteenth street toward Third
avenue. For some reason known only to the
they dad not, he drew his pistol and told
ahem that ne would fire upon them II they did
not halt. He then arrested them and TOOK them
10 the eighteenth precinct station house IN East
fwenty-second street, between First and Second
avenues.
AN ELOQUENT APPEAL.
And now to return to young Raymond who was
brought IRON the areaway where the officer had
oeaied behind barrel, back to where Miss Dyas
was standing awaiting the result of the chase.
