More ice would probably have been sold had
not the revelations Of the polieo's chemists

The other nigh! two young clerks we're
playing billiards in a cafe OF boulevard st.
Germain, and talked freely of their concerns
without heeding.a man who seemed asleep
at al adjoining table. Ono of them ssid to
the other: Il have just inherited $400"
sos! then va are going to have 8 jolly time
OF it, "Nc! no! will not touch one cent Of
that money. It is still in my lodgings,
safely hidden in chest Of drawers under my
shirts. Tomorrow am going 10 carry il to
a stock broker and buy three5." A few
minutes sfterwsrd the sleeping man woke,
rose took his hat and went out. An hour
afterwsrd the clerks paid for what they had
taken, took their hats of them, no who
had inherited $500, found thst his hat had
been taken, probably by the sleeper, and
another left in its place. As the nat left
was lust as good as tho hat taken, and as the
former fitted him quite as we'll, he bore the
exchange philosophicslly and logged home.
lie had no sooner entered his lodgings than
he,ssw they had been entered by fslse keys,
his ches! of drawers broken open and his
$500 stolen. He did not sleep that night.
The hat left him did not altogether suit him,
80 he went to the halter TO change it.. His
halter told him that the evening before a
man had come into the shop, and had said
tina! he had inadvertently taken gentle
mans hat, and seeing the hatter's name iu-
side, he had called, thinking the halter
might be able to give him the owners name
and address that he might restore tho hat
accidentally taken. The halter gave the
name and address Tho burglar secured
$500 by the information given. The bur
glars hat WAS left with the halter and new
one selected. After the clsrk left the halter
took out the lining of the burglars hat, and
to his surprise found under ii letter, boar
ing an address. He read il and found il WAS
from burglar, promising aid in contempla-
ted burglary which had been planned by
the person to whom the letter was addressed.
The halter took the letter to the police and
told what had occurred. Before sunset both
burglars we're arrested.
A few days since the cashier of StrssA
burg bank was surprised to find, on opening
o registered letter from Schlestsdt, which he
was advised contained $1,000, held only
waste paper. He at once summoned the
police, who, on examining the waste paper
found ii came from Paris newspaper. Con
tinuing their Investigations they found that
the person who had seat the registered let.
ter was o subscriber to the Paris newspaper.
A newspaper Of the same dato a. that from
which the cuttings had basa taken WAS pros
cured, il was found that the collection OF the
subscriber (who filed the papsr) lacked the
ne Tspspsr of that date. Evidently the thief
was in the sender's house. ALI persons in Il
were watched and inquiries as to their charac>
Ter made. 1t was found an APPRENTICE had asked
his master the day after the theft had been
committed, leave of absence, TO assist his
parents who lived in village some distance
off, aud that he had not gone there but had
taken a different direction. The telegraph
was used to order his arrest just as he was
crossing the frontier; the $1,000 was found
on him and he confessed his crime.
Countess Branicka and Countess Ozark
took few evenings since coach of the
Northern railway for their exclusive use.
When they reached Charleroi they found
that their two satchels had disappeared
When9 how! where? They could not answer
All that thsy could say was that their
sstchels contained seven.row pearl neck
lace, six gold bracelets set with rubes
sapphires, and emerslds, SO, 900 in gold snt
bank notes, prayer book and two passports
the whole worth between $50. 900 aud $l2O,
