DETECTIVE AND TRAMP.

The Officer Feeds furnishing Vagabond
and Gets No Thanks.
There was in the tramp's appearance
suggestion of the iethargy that follows
a gorging with free lunch and copioEs
libations of beer that belied his piteous
story of not having had anything to eat
"since yesterday morning" The shades
of night were falling fast, and that may
have to some extent accounted for the
mistake of the bum in selecting as the
object of his whining appeal McClusky,
one of the best known of the Central
office detectives, who was ''sleuthing
it" along the Bcwery.
"You are shy dinner and supper for
yesterday and breakfast. dinner and
supper today. Come with me" said
McClusky, and he led the way into a
greasy little beanery from the door of
which hung a dingy sign announcing
regular meals, s cents" Had the va
grant known what was in store for him
he would have never crossed the thresh-
old except under forcible persuasion.
Give this man his yesterdays dinner"
said McClusky
A slice of boiled beef, boiled potato,
two slices of bread and cup of muddy
coffee were soon set up. Slowly the
tramp attacked the meal, and McClusky
waited. When the dishes were clean,
the detective beckoned to the waiter and
said:
Bring the gentleman last nights
supper.
The order was repeated. The tramp
began to suspect something, but he
thought it the better to act his part.
Perhaps his eccentric benefactor would
give him the price of bed. Vain hopel
The supper disposed of, McClusky or
dered 1.-The gentleman's breakfast.
+, "See here, pardy, l never eats but one
meal day." the latter demurred.
1T is not enough. You told me you
were starving, and of an officer of the
New York police force it shall never be
said that he allowed fellow man to
starve." And the detective displayed
his badge.
"Supposin l won't eat?'' said the
tramp sullenly.
'Then you take ride. See?'' 60.
The trapped bum saw, and he ate his
breakfast, and then in great agony he
managed to dispose of his dinner. Ma
ture would stand no more.
'See here, pardy, couldn't eat any
more, not if got two years for it, '"he
pleaded in genuine distress.
McClusky had had his fun, and he
excused his victim the supper, AS the
tramp rolled torpidly out of. the place

WOman'S Equality With Men.

Women should stand on perfect
equality with man in every sphere
OF intellectual endeavor, writes ].
Mcdonald Oxley i'll an article on
Post. Graduate Courses for Wo-
men" in the September Ladies
Home Journal. No barriers should
be placed in her path. Whether
the ballot be woman's right or
not the privilege of post graduate
study unquestionably is, and Meth
er she nor those who sympathize
with her must be content until this
is opened to her in the fullest de-
gree. By way of conclusion a good
way of bringing this about may be
suggested Let it be condition of
future requests or donations to the
universities that they admit women
to their post, graduate courses.

clRcUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
A Young Lady Who Had Narrow Escape
From Conviction.


From Conviction.
''Stories of conviction on circumstan-
tial evidence are rife in the lawbooks
and have afforded the plot of many a
novel, " said J. s. Haberling of New
York. "a very sad case, not of con-
viction, but almost as bad in its results,
occurred in New York recently. A
young lady of refinement, stranger in
the city, obtained employment as gov
erness in a gentleman family. One Of
her pupils, girl 10 years old, lost a
diamond ring 1t was found i'll the
desk of the governess. She declared
she had not seen it since it was last on
the girls hand, but she was hustled off
to the TOmbs, and unable to give bond
was kept there several days, exposed to
the cOmpanionship of the most depraved
of her sex. She was taken to court in
the Black Maria with negress and a
white woman, both convicted felons, 60
ing to be sentenced. She was kept in
the pen waiting for her case to be called,
exposed to the impudent gaze of the
horde of courtroom loafers.
"When her case was called, the court
appointed a lawyer to defend her, as she
was penniless. The prosecuting witness
and her father told the story of the find
ing of the missing ring. The presump-
ton that the accused had placed it there
was more or less strong until the law
yer began to cross question the owner of
the ring. Guessing at the truth, by
adroit questioning he drew from the
unwilling witness the fact that she had
often pried into the desk and dressing
case drawers of the governess, and that
she had been so engaged an hour or so
before she missed her ring, and the fur
ther fact that the ring fitted loosely.
The judge dismissed the case promptly,
and the accuser's father apologized, but
the young woman, being of highly
strung and nervous temperament, was
completely Frustrated by her terrible
experience in the Tombs, and the i'll
effects will, it is feared, be permanent. "
