An Artists Ready Pencil.

An Artists Ready Pencil.
Mulready, the artist, tells the fol-
lowing story;
One bright moonlight night in my
student days, was walking in
street on the outskirts of London,
little better than country line, when
man came out of the shadow thrown
by large tree, and producing pis-
tol, addressed me In the usual robber
fashion with:
"Your watch and money please!'
II am poor artist" said I. "See
these are my drawings. I have no
watch. have never been able to buy
one.n
Your money, then, and be quick!"
All the time was watching the fell
lows face. 1t was very white, and 1
think he was more frightened than l
was. gave him all the silver had
about me. He said "Good night"
civilly enough, and started off to-
ward London.
l made the best Of my way home,
and before I went to bed I drew the
mans face very carefully. The next
morning L went to Bow street with
my drawing hoping it might be rec
ognized by the officers there; but no!
The face, they said, was new to them.
IF you leave the likeness here"
said the chief detective, 1--WE may.
perhaps, come across the person it
represents"
This very soon happened. A fort
night hal scarcely passed before 1
was called to identity the man who
had robbed me. He had been arrest
cd for murder, and was easily con-
victed.
