HOW A MAN CAME NEAR LOSING
HIS LIFE IN WHITECHAPEL.

Barbarism in the East End of London
On the Thames after Dark-A Trial
of Wits with River Rat
NEW YORK, Dec. S.-That mysterious
iournalistophile, known in comtempora-
neous romance as "6he Whitechapel Fiend,"
has recently brought into renewed popular
ity among sensation hunters, the district
If London known somewhat indefinitely as
the EAST End" Whitechapel stood in peril
of oblivion, the literary men had cast his
reportorial eyes, apparently, once and for
all upon the gilded west, where. though it
istrue that many sons risen in the morning
of life in the east end, have set in jeweled
splendor Whitechapel is as much a trav-
eler's name and nothing else, as Timbuctoo,
PALMYRA, or Atlantis. Now, however, the
picturesque and imposing words murder
and outrage have attracted the attention
of the world-and of its wives and daugh-
ters-to this unsavory locality, and COM
plete literature of the district has been the
result.

from a long calendar of such on account
of the devilish ingenuity of their perpe-

There may be among my readers, English
and American, few who have had the
curiosity to go through experiences which
have led to events such as | am about to
relate, but the number will be few, for it is
only one out of many hundreds of Elglish-
men even, who ever brave the dangers of
the remote east end of London
At the time of which my story speaks,
George R. Sims had not brought "slum-
ming" into fashion; he had not, by his init
mate acquaintance with the lower forms of
life in London, excited the interest in the

ago IN the drawing rooms of the west, in a
word. as say, Summing" had not ''come
into fashion, The fact that it had not
done so was perhaps the main inducement to
me to become an inveterate Summer, and,
arrayed in the oldest and most terrible of
clothes and fortified with a carefully con-
cealed revolver of somewhat heavy caliber
and about shillings as a rule in my
pockets in sixpences and coppers, l
commenced series of voyages of explora-
ton in the east end, where the dregs of the
population assemble, and pickpockets con-
gregate.

If YOU take the white omnibus which
passes the American exchange at Charing

end of its allotted route it will take you
along the busy Strand and literary Fleet

Paul's, past the bank and by Corn Hill
to London bridge, and there descending

like Wrapping Old Stairs" "Shadwell,"
'Ratcliff Highway" and "Tiger Bay"

Of little white washed houses with bright
pebbled walks, leading from the rustic
portico to the brilliantly green painted gate,
where sweet peas struggle unticily at their
own sweet will, and pots of gillyfio wers
mlngle their heavy sensuous perfume with
the tarry and fish-like smells which an
nounce the trade of the inhabitants.
1t is here that Walter BeSant has laid
the scene of the Captains ROOM and a
more beautiful and interesting spot it

anybody ever goes there because Rother-

Tale of a rhoushtful Rat.

On very warm day in early sum-
mer happened to be standing near a
chicken-coop in a back yard, when
noticed the head Of a gray rat thrust
from neighboring rat-hole, and con-
cluded to watch the movements of the
veteran. After a careful survey of
the surroundings, our old rodent
seemed TO be satisfied that all was
right, and made a cautious exit from
the home retreat. A fresh pan of wa
ter had been recently placed before
the chicken-eoop, and the water looked
a friendly invitation to the thirsty old
rat, which Immediately started toward
il.
The rat had not reached the pan be-
fore five half-grown young ones rushed
ahead and tried to be the first at the
water. The old rat thereupon made a
a leap like kangaroo and was at the
edge of the dish in advance of the fore
most of her litter. Then ensued most
remarkable occurrence. The mother
rat raised herself on her launches and
hit and scratched her offspring so
severely whenever they attempted to

scudded away, evidently very much
astonished and frightened at the
strange and unaccountable behavior
of their mother. When the little ones
were at safe distance the reasons for
her extraordinary behavior began to be
revealed at once in the intelligent
action of the old mother rat.
She first wetted her whiskers in the
water, looked suspiciously about her,
then very cautiously and carefully
took a dainty little sip of the liquid.
She tasted it as tentatively and crit
ically as professional tea-taster, and
when she was satisfied that it con-
tanned no poisonous or other deleter-
ious matter she gave a couple of
squeaks which quickly brought her
young and thirsty brood to her side,
and all fearlessly drank their fill.
Now, this old mother rat was ex-
perienced, had evidently learned her
lesson in that school thoroughly, and
so she would not allow her young and
untaught litter to taste water which
might have contained rat-poison or
what not until she had satisfied her.
