A Wonderful Piece of Detective

dull Sunday at San Francisco

before noon j. g. Wizluzil, tail

coat and vest while looking ovel
his books. In an inner pocket
of the latter was a pocket book
containing the comfortable sum
of $4,000, and when Mr.. Wizln-
I'll attempted to resume his gar

found. His natural supposition
was that some one, observing
his movements. h d entered the
store while he was immersed in

waistcoat and contents. After
a hurried search he entered a
carriage and drove rapidly to
police headquarters and secur-
red the services of the officers.
A return was made to the scene
of the robbery, the of1iosrs en-
route plying Mr.. Wisluzil with
questions regarding his employ
ees and vi itors, Arriving at
the store a survey was made of
the rack on which the vest had
been hung, and Capt. Lees re-
moved two or three office coats
when 10 and behold the missing
waistcoats and contents were
revealed. For a moments Mr..
Wisluzil was fairly paralyzed
with Joy and establishment, but
finally remembered that he had
removed a small "offise' Jacket
when he reached for his street
attire. and ha ! hung it in the
place of the coat he took down
to put on again. Then, of course,
the vest was covered up, and in
his alarm at seeing an adjoining
peg empty he made no thorough,
search. The officers declined
