the lady's household, who especially
disliked the lady's maid, had for her
/ beau very intelligent member of the

dislike for her fellow-servant. This
lead the constable to take particular
notice of the privileged maid, and he
soon observed little peculiarities in
her manner and bearing that led him
TO believe that a masquerade was in
progress, and that, in fact, 'the maid
was d man." The policeman at once
jumped to the conclusion that the
young man had gained access to the
lady'S household for the purpose of
robbery, and was biding his time to

to follow up the case and obtain con-

to inform the lady that the
person whom she had harbored
as a confidential maid was in fact
young man. 1t is stated that the
jealous policeman never felt so cheap
and ill-rewarded in his life as when
he saw his startling intelligence was
