The novels of George Eliot are read by

suggest thoughts away from the story, it
may be; but they are novels full of meat,
and chunks of odd and wise sayings. 1t
has been the authors pride to make DAN

At the beginning OF the month q nne
looking, elderly gentleman, with abundant
luggage. engaged suite OF apartments IN
the Westminster. and wrote in the register,
"Baron Somoskeoy, of Hungary" He
dressed unassumingly, but the superb dia-
monds that he wore on his breast and Tin
gers attracted general attention. He said
that he was an Austrian commissioner to
the Centennial Exhibition, and as he was
courteoue, we'll informed and liberal he was
much appreciated IN the hotel. On the
ninth the Baron went away. He said he
was going to the opening OF the exposition;
Meanwhile Superintendent Walling had
been informed by an agent of the Austrian
government that the Baron was Q faithless
Austrian official, who, by forging the sigma.
ture of superior to vouchers, had obtained
large sum of money and fled. Detective
Elder was detailed to watch the Baron and
to arrest him as soon as warrant Tor MS
extradition to Austria could be obtained.
On the sixteenth the Baron returned to the
position. Detective Elder did not lose
sight of him. A hint a. to Elders work, and
the probability of his receiving fine re-
ward, was incautiously given by Q brother
officer to an e.. detective. DESTROYS of battling
the police department., from which he
had, he thought, been driven by persecu-

lister, got into the baron 9 apartments uu-
noticed, and told the terror-stricken Aus
triau that he was to be arrested within an
hour. He then offered to lead the baron
out of the trap that the police had set, tor q
price. He named it, and though it was
enormous, the baron paid. Then the ex-
detective aided the baron in packing up. A
Quarter of an hour afterward the baron's
luggage was taken away in an, express
wagon. and he himself, having paid his bill,
and given baronial douceurs to the ser
wants that had waited upon him, was driven

Broadway. Detective Elder, powerless

room. His baggage was taken to the New
Jersey Central railroad depot and then
| transferred to the Adams Express office.

hour afterward the Baron sailed for Mex

| to the police of the port in which the baron
must disembark, and it is probable that the
