One ChiId,s Drear.

Harriet Martineau relates that, of her
many childish fancies, perhaps none
was SO terrible as dream she had at
four years old. 81 dreamed" she says,
"that we children were taking walk
with our nurselnaid. Out of the public
house there came stag with prodigious
antlers. Passing the pump, it crossed
the road to us and made polite bow,
with its head on one side, and with a
scrape of one foot; after which it pointed
with its foot to the public house, and
spoke to me, inviting me in. The maid
declined, and turned to go home Then
came the terrible part.
''By the time we were atour own door
it was dusk, and we went up the steps
in the dark; but in the kitchen it was
bright sunshine. My mother was stand
ing at the dresser, breaking sugar, and
she lifted me up and set me in the sun,
and gave mo bit of sugar Such was
the dream which froze me with horrorl
Who shall say WHY" concludes the mar
rator, looking back from her strong
minded maturity to that wildly remem-
bered childish dream, and utterly un-
able to understand what the fright was
about. "--Argosy.

Two bold Compliments.

A bold stroke to obtain liberty by
means of o compliment was that made
by NJ. de Maupertius, who when a pris-
oner in Austria was presented to the
empress, who said to him, "You know
the queen of Sweden, sister to the king of
PrussiaY" Eyes, madame" 81 am told
that she is the most beautiful princess in
the world" Madame" replied the cum
ming prisoner, 81 always thought so I'M
til now" This was as diplomatic as the
words and action of the Marquis Medina,
a Spanish nobleman.
Queen Elizabeth, who had been admir-
ing his elegance, and complimenting
him on it, at the same time begged to
know who possessed the heart of so ac-
complished cavalier. Madame" said
he, "a lover risks too much on such an
occasion; but your majesty win is law.
Excuse me, however, if fear to name
her, but request your majesty's accept
ance of her portrait" he sent her
looking giass.-London Standard.

fail impotently or through lack of effort.
If this instinct was lacking in the man
he would be no detective. He would
not only lack ability in thief catching,
but would have no disposition to go into
the business.
This instinct which tempts him into
his distasteful and often perilious call
ing is developed by experience and OBJ
servation and constant study until it be-
comes almost supernumerary sense.
He knows thief when he sees him, if
it is for the first time 1t sounds i'm
possible, doesn't it? But it has been
proved hundreds of times.
Physiognomy has something to do with
it; fund of knowledge of the tricks and
devices of the escaping robber, quick
perception of tiny details which lead to
suspicion, supersensitiveness to the
hints of circumstance, all go to make up
the professional instinct of the detective.
But the most powerful element of all.
and that which all serve but to REINFORCE,
is the mysterious sort of animal magnet
ism which tells detective-a genuine
detective-that thief's thief.
The man who was arrested in the
Grand Central depot was afterward
proved to be professional pickpocket.
He made bold front when the detective
asked him for moments conversation
and became highly indignant before the
cause of his detention was told. This is
the mistake which nearly every petty
thief makes. The countryman's wallet
was found on him. and witnesses re-.

membered having seen the thief walk
out of the crowd and pick up his valise
just before the cry of robbery was raised.
They would never have remembered the
circumstance if the detective had not
stopped the thief as he was escaping.
HOW THIEF IS PICKED OUT.
Chow do pick out thief?' said one
of the cleverest detectives at police head
quarters in response to question.
"Well, there's a whole lot of things that
help man to pick out thief, but it's
hard to just say in words what they are.
Any fly copper will tell you that there is
something characteristic about the APP
pearance of every thief. And it's only
good sense to believe it.
eff man spends his whole time study
ing thieves faces, haunts and habits. he's
bound to get the thing down pretty fine
if he has anything of a head on him.
don't say that you can pick top notcher
"a con man or bunko sharp-out of
a crowd, because he's mighty smart
man, and his whole business is to de-
ceive people by his appearance and man
ner; butyou take pickpocket or sneak,
and you can get on to him in a crowd
nearly every time, provided, of course,
that you've got every reason to believe
that there is such q man in the crowd
and you're looking for him.
There's something about the eyes
particularly that every common thief I
ever saw had. Then they nearly all
have dissipated look. That's because

Any one OF the score OF people who did
not stop might be the thief. The rob-
berry had just "come off," for the coun-
tryman had set up his outcry to mo-
ment his wallet was jerked by some
mysterious force from his fingers. Now,
in all this confusion of hurrying people,
how was suspicion to be pointed toward
any particular man? One would say
impossible" But one would be wrong.
A plainly dressed man, with sharp,
black eyes, who had been standing in
the door of the restaurant when the cry
of robbery went up, stepped quietly out
OF the doorway and turned his keen eyes
In a series of quick chances to right and
left. He did not once look at the coun-
tryman or the little crowd around him,
but In ten seconds he had scanned with
lightning rapidity the face of every per-
son who was walking away. A sudden
look, as though OF recognition, and he
walked quickly, unhesitatingly toward q
rather well dressed man who was carry
ing small valise up the stairway. He
overlook him at the top Of the stairs and
tapped him on the shoulder.
"You are my prisoner" he said.
The thief was found.
WHY HE WAS RECOGNIZED.
How did the detective know him? That
is complex question to answer. Nat
ural instinct of an order unbiased in
human psychology is what makes the
detective. A fox hound has it, and it
makes the dog hunt foxes and find them
and catch them where other dogs would

THE FACE OF A CROOK.
Why it is That a Thief is Generally
Detected.

There Are. Almost Invariably, Some
Marks About His Countenance or About
His Appearance That Inevitably Be-
tray Him to Officers of the Law.
"Police! Police! Where's the police?
Some thief's stolen my pocketbook!"
A tall, bearded and excited country
man yelled out these words in the Grand
Central depot one morning some months
ago. The alarm created the usual ex-
element which follows the announce
ment of robbery in crowd. Some OF
the stream of arriving and departing
travellers stopped in their places to has
thy ascertain whether or not their own
wallets were safe. Others crowded
around the countryman in eager curios-
ity to hear what he had to say. Some
of the chronically cautious hurried their
steps trifie from the scene of trouble
and looked back somewhat fearfully at
the big policeman who was elbowing
his way vigorously toward the center OF
the crowd

A Quaint Bit of Praise.

To be eulogized when dead is more
often the lot of man than to be praised
in life, but surely aquainter compliment
was never paid a dead man than was
received by Talleyrand, for when his
demise was announced to one of his
acquaintance, the latter exclaimed, HE
must have had some good reason for
dying | think ! will be at least i'll my
SELF" and forthwith went to bed
Yet another compliment to dead man
was uttered by the Marchioness of -,
who, when told that the celebrated
physician Borden had been found dead
in bed, exclaimed, "Ahl Death was so
afraid of him that he did not dare attack
him except when he was asleep. LON
