The Trials of a Detective.

The offer of two weeks vacation TO every
police officer who catches a burglar, has
certainly stimulated the energies of the
patroimen, Detective Gibson, who has been
working almost every night in the Mission
on the Durrant case, has been held up at
the muZzle of revolvers twenty-three times,
has been searched nine times and arrested
three times on suspicion of being burglar,
an within sixty days.
Every time he goes up or down the steps
of residence at night he expects some
vigilant policeman to blaze away at him.
The burglars themselves are not more
fearful of the patrolmen than Gibson, and
he has taken to slipping along in the
shadows of the buildings like a house
Srea ker. He says himself that il the
strain keeps up he knows he'll uncon-
sctously commence entering residences to
get Information by prying open back
window or climbing a porch post.-SaD

EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW.

Or course there must be a difference of
opinion upon every subject under the
sun. Differing degrees of intelligence, or
of ignorance, differing ideas as to what is
moral and just and reformatory, must
produce a variety of views, some OF which
are more or less Inconsistent and grotcsque.
Thus, most OF the advocates of the estab-

In spite OF the Prince of Wales affability
and good nature there is no one Quicker
than he to resent anything in the shape of
presumption. Several manifestations of
this popularity weZe given during his re-
cent stay at Homburg, among others the
incident concerning the Countess de Torhv.
the mOrganatic wife of the Grand Duke
Michael OF Russia. She was one day seated
at the tennis courts watching the games
when the prince appeared.
As he approached to speak to her he OBJ
served that instead OF rising from her chair.
as etiquette required her to do, she retained
her seat. contenting herself with indolently
stretching out her shapeiy hand for the
prince to kiss. At once his face stirfened and
became as forbidding as it had been genial
and, bowling low, he passed on without
word and without taking the slightest notice
of the extended hand of the countess the
snub being Of the most public character.
1t was hard lesson for the poor girl, who
is a remarkably prett ywomen, and has an
exceptionally trying position, and, what
was worse. it was she who was compelled
to apologize. the prince steering clear both
OF herself and her husband until she finally
expressed her regret for her breach of eti
quette.
According to an old Scotch legend. the
continuance of the prosperity of the ducal
house of Hamilton was rendered dependent
upon the presence of a colony of herons on
the Isle of Arran, which has existed there
for several centuries. 1t was this tradition
more than anything else that led the late
duke, who is a very superstitious man. to
devote all his energies to prevent crofters
or anybody else. in fact. from settling or
even visiting the island. He incurred con-
siderable amount of popular odium. indeed.
in connection with his apparent severity and
harshness with regard to trespassers on
the island.
Since his death last spring. however: the
island has been invaded by crofters and
tourists of every class, the result being that
the herons have vanished, no one knows
whither-a great Ioss'evcn from u national
point of view, as this heronry was one
of the only spots in The kingdom where
these rare and highly priced birds consented
to remain.
