No trace of the note could be
obtained, and she was released.
AS she left the police bar she
gripped the complainer by the arm,
and said, MAY you be forgiven,
sir, for thus accusing one who is
innocent. At the same time, how
ever, the innocent" creature reposs-
essed herself of the note.
Another instance where the po-
lice were for time at fault was in
connection with theft Of number
of notes within gentleman's pri-
vate house. That the money had
been filched by someone engaged in
the house was certain, and all the
servants were searched, and their
boxes, ETC., examined The hunt
proved fruitless, and the officers
were in the act of retiring dscom-
flied, when one acute member of
the force thought fit, inspired with
a sudden idea, to call one of the
gentleman's children playing on
the lawn over to him, and to exam
inc the curl papers in her hair
These turned out to be the missing
notes, and had been placed there by
the nursery-maid, who, being SUBJ
sequently taxed admitted her guilt.

His Charge for Securing Pension.

In the old United States Court
building in Boston about five years
ago, General Butler was engaged
in cross-examlning witnesses in a
very important case. He had ex-
amined half-dozen with unusual
severity, says the Boston Post.
A new witness was called. The
right sleeve of his coat was empty
and pinned up to the lapel, in which
was the Grand Army button, Gen
eral Buffers eye caught sight of it.
"Where did you serve comrade?"
he asked in kindly way.
~ went out with the Eight
Massachusetts when you led us
down through Baltimore, General"
the old man answered in shaky
voice, land served right through
until | lost the arm at Fort Pike"
The Generals face softened, and
that soldier had the easiest exami-
nation that General Butler ever
gave witness. When the recess
was taken Butler asked
'How much pension do you get?'
II don't get any," was the an
swer. 81 tried for one, but the law
yer took what little money I had,
and got nothing for me-
To make a long story short, the
man had his claim put through and
received sum for back pay larger
than any he had ever possessed.
The morning that he got his mon
ey he thanked General Butler and
said:
General, will you take half Of
this?"
take half of it?" said the-GeH--
eral. "Why, my friend, / have got
a thousand times as much money as
you have. Go back and put that
in the bank. If you meet any
more Of the boys Of the Eight
Massachusetts with whom Uncle
Sam is not doing the right thing,
tell them to come and see me.

being under the special protection
of Mohammed, they would never be
molested.
This, of course, a Feringhi cannot
be expected to endure. When |
was in Teheran a big white cat
took fancy to perch himself on
the wall of our konak, and looking
down into the yard, favor us with
amusical entertainment at any hour
of the day or night. In Difference
to the prejudices of our Mussulman
neighbors, We contented ourselves
for a long time by shouting him
away.
Finally, however, we concluded
that his soul-harrowlng refrain
could no longer be endured. If
Mohammed wouldn't or couldn't
come and fetch that cat, we deter
mined to send it to Mohammed.
1t would not do to shoot him
openly, however, so we took into our
confidence an American servant, to
whose master we learned the cat
belonged. An American servant
in Persia would sell his masters
immortal soul for a keran, and so
when we offered the American two
kerans to produce the white cat in
bag, the serenader was as good as
doomed. Nevermore did that war
bier sit and tantalize our bulldogs
for hours together.

More Examples of Thieves Ingenuity.


An officer was once almost out
witted by cute female thief, who
was charged with stealing twenty
five dollars. The officer was search
ing her house, when, wrapping the
note round the candle, and stuffing
it into candlestick, she then
obligingly handed it to him. He
searched for a considerable time be-
fore he discovered that he had the
object of his quest in his hand.
Not long ago street pickpocket
was Appended on charge of steal
ing a bank-note for fifty dollars, and
while piteously denying the charge
she was quick to notice that her
accuser had a slit pocket at the end
of his sleeve, presumably for car
rying railway tickets. Placing her
hand upon his arm as if agitated
she adroitly slipped the note partly
into the slit, and then submitted to

We stopped at station to take

came into the smoking carriage

together. 1t was easy enough to
indentify the prisoner. He was a
gaunt-faced, long-haired man of

embarrassed at the sight of so many
of us.

There were six of us in the car
riage. Five of the crowd finally
chippeds in their sovereigns. The
sixth man brusquely refused to give
a shilling. The officer soon return
ed; the money was given him, and
at the next station the pair got off.
The prisoner thanked us over and
over again, and all felt amply re-
paid. The attitude of the sixth
man nettled us. He sat reading
and paid no attention to the SLY
digs given him; but after while,
when something pretty harsh was
flung out, he closed the book, stood
up to face us, and calmly said:
"Gentlemen, | feel that / owe
