This relic of what was formerly one of
tho most hideous and dangerous of Lon
don slums is situated at the bottom (No.
I'D of Great Saffron hill. 1t Is part OF a
dirty and ruinous old tenement exactly
coinclding with the infamous den to
which the Artful Dodger led Oliver Twist
rs a new pal for first visit from Green
land" The den has several ominous look
ing staircases leading into dark and Ill
smelling passages, and plenty of cupboard
room well available for thieves booty.
From the outhouses any of the light fin
gered gentry could easily have dropped in
to the street, while the adjacent house was
easily accessible. The last named tene-
ment, formerly n haunt of Migrants, with
all the convenlencos of thieves kitchen,
had associations of the worst kind Fa9in
was real character by name Isaac Touch
who on being raided by tho police, was
found TO possess a peck measure of watch
cs. He had the name OF being confeder-
ate in worse crimes than training young
thieves and buying stolen property. Ken
ny Meadows wrote of him:
Thy face is rough with matted shay
Foul is thy form, old shiivel'd wretch.
How cunningly You eye TIE swng.

A Case In Which Lightning. So TO Speak.
struck Twice In the Same Pincc.
Here was curious thing that happen
cd to me once" snid a man. 81 sat in
theater in an end scat. Next to me sat a
man and next to him lady whom he was
escorting. In the course Of the entertain
ment one OF the group of performers on
tho stage threw out TO the audience a num-
Der OF photographs, They were photo
graphs OF the performers themselves. The
tlrower threw out three or four little
punches Of them one after another as Que
sometimes sees a person throw cards.
They left his hands all together, but i'm
mcdiately separated and scattered, some
fiuttering down near by and some sailing
out farther over the audience before they
dropped. Perhaps there were 80 or 40 cards
altogether. / rather hoped would get
one, but didn't expect it, for of course
the chances were greatly against Ii, but ss
o matter OF fact at tho second cast one OF
the photographs loated over and dropped
on my knee.
II was little surprised and little
slow, and the man sitting next to me was
little quick. Thoughtlessly he picked
up tho photograph and handed to the lady,
At the snrne instant we both realized that
by right the photograph belonged TO me,
but We also realized at the same instant
that there was nothing to be done about
it.
"Now here was the really surprising
thing about 1t all. At tbe next cast of tho
cards another one separated from the rest
and flew over and fluttered down upon my
knec. The chances against this were very
great, but here was the card, and picked
this ono up promptly. am .not sure but
hat 4 ad Do n Of
reward Of merit, Anyway was greatly
pleased to get it, and it Is certain that the
man sitting next was equally pleased with
this most prompt, unexpected and felici-
tous termination Of the incident. New
