Her from the Patrol Wagon.
A handsome lady whose hus band is
a mem Der of one of the ''old families"
entered the shop of prominent hair
dealer and laid on the counter some
human hair she had purchased at the
same place n few days previously
The clerk refused to take it back; SO
did the proprietor, who was called to
| decide the matter.
The lady said there We're nits in tho
| hair, and she did not want any in ex-
change for it from that shop.
The tone and manner of the dealer
We're not conciliating The lady was
already angry, and she grew more SO
in the exciting dialogue that ensued.
Finally she picked up hand glass and
threw it at the man. He missed the
missile, but it did not miss some of his
valuable property. and, moreover, it
shivered itself to pieces on the floor.

to clerk.

When the policeman put in his APP
pearance the dealer said:
"Otticer. arrest this woman
"Officer, arrest this nam COM
manded she, in q tone of authority.
''She broke my looking glass;" he
said.
HE is an Englishman"' said tho
lady, who saw at glance that the
policeman was an Irishrnan.
The officer at first looked from ono
to the other, but when the lady re-
sponded:
"Of1icer, arrest this Englishman." he
replied. in rich brogue and with a
hearty good will: Take out a way
rant. lady, and I'll take him down-I'u
take him down with pleasure
BY this time she began to surmise,
so she said afterward, what her hus-
band would think of such an affair,
and so she resumed her dignity and
left the shop. leaving her unfortunate
purchase of human hair to make up the
loss of the mirror.-St. Louis Chronicle.

slowly, and at first but vaguely, did
arrive at the conclusion, unless the
thief was myself!
Verify, this was an alarming supposi-
ton, and confirmed my worst dread. I
must be suffering under some frightful
inexplicable brain disease, for that l
had done this thing was wholly and
totally unconscious.
For days and days. however, took
no action. hesitated to breathe q
word of the extraordinary affair to a
soul. Who would believe it? Every
body would say had gone out of my
mind-I thought so myself. l doubted
if any doctor would accept as veracious
this wild account of my dread awak-
ening to the truth. Yet, as l knew it
to be the truth, l set this record of it
down while it was all fresh in my
memory, and eventually, being unable
any longer to bear the horrible sus-
pense and perpIexity in which the
strange experience had left me, pnt it
before a medical friend.
To nv unspeakable establishment, he
believed every word of it. Then. after
answering his endless. searching Ques
tons, and when he had listened to such
verbal additions to the narrative as
could give him, he did not doubt one
single point

own hand. Your brain retained some
dim perception of your having done so.

nervous system accounts for that per-

partial Inconsistencies you dashed up

your senses to their equilibrium by
that rap on your head. However, it is
enough for you if l tell you that your
nervous system is wholly broken down,

next three or four months lead per-
fectly regular, quiet life, l won't an

His advice was followed to the letter,

The face and figure seemed to fade
