A Clever Woman.

Once, while travelling in tho west,
she was obliged to take O seat in one
crowded car, while her friends entered
tho next.
Her neighbor in the seat was disa-
greeable looking fellow, whose feat.
ures showed an alarming amount OF
low cunning, promising actual kna-
very. In spite of the Englishwoman's 8
distrust of him she fell asleep and
was awakened by feeling her compan-
ion 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 the
thief had only succeeded in taking her
baggage checks, and as his ticket was
marked Chicago" tho lady resolved
to wait until they reached that place,
also her destination.
The train ran into the station at
Chicago, the pickpocket made his way
to the door, and the lady walked be,
side him. A baggage express messen'
ger was passing by tho car and the
lady stopped him.
"This gentleman has the checks fol
my baggage" she said, pointing to the
thief.
The messenger turned to the man.
who, astonished ut the suddenness
with which the tables had been turned
hastily produced the checks and dis
appeared in the crowd.-An English
