was awakened by feeling her COM
panion withdrawing his hand from
her pocket.
Her first impulse was to raise an
alarm, her second to ascertain the
extent of her loss. 1t proved that

taking her baggage checks, and as
his ticket was marked "Chicago," "
the lady resolved to wait until they
reached that place, also her dcs-

his way 10 the door and the
lady walked beside him. A baggage
express messenger was passing 10y

This gentleman has the checks

Ia the thief.

who, astonlshed with the sudden
ness with which the tables had been
turned, hastily produced the checks
aud disappeared In the crowd.

wires In the street was eXempliiied
the other day in Baltimore. Two
individuals conversing close by an
iron awning post were observed to
tall suddenly to the ground. a
broken telephone wire had estab-
