hNRIlINALS," said my friend James
.Rotherby, on one of those rare
occasions when he allowed himself to
refer to past" which was not entirely
creditable; criminals are divided into
two classes very much like other people.
There are those who believe in sticking
to the old-fashioned methods, and those
whose taste lies in the direction of inno-
walton and reform-conservativ and
liberals, so to speak. Joe Clumber, for
instance, chung tenaciously to the views
he had inherited from father in the
same line of business, and couldn't see
beyond the jimmy and the life-pre-
server, and so forth. l, on the other
hand, perhaps because I'd merely drift
ed into crime and hadn't been born to
it. shrank from the use of such imple-
ments, and preferred stratagem to vio-
lence. And, in spite of what I'm about
to tell you, I'm not going to admit that
L was altogether wrong"
He paused, slipped his whisky and wa
ter, gave short laugh, and proceeded.
''WelI, you see, Clumber and l hadn' t
one day happened to spot an advertise
ment of a big picture sale to be held in
Bond street the same afternoon. '
showed the newspaper to Joe, and after
some discussion it was arranged that l
should go, on the off chance of getting
wind of something to our advantage. as
they say. Accordingly, dressed my
self in suitable toys and went, having
told Clumber L should expect good
feed when / returned at six. Joe, l may
mention, never took odd jobs requiring
a swell get-up. Frock coats and light
kids didn't become him, and he knew his
limitations.
''But Joe did understand how to cook
piece of steak to turn, and L couldn' t
find any fault with the meal awaiting
me when L got back from the sale. On
the contrary, enjoyed it so much that
it was some minutes before l could
spare time for conversation. Then |
said, magnanimously:
$ NOW, Joe, I'll crafty your Curl
osity.'
Its about time you did, grunted
my partner; but ignoring the observa-
ton, l continued:
"'Most of the things sold to-day were
more or less rubbish, but there was one
quite small picture, about three
feet by two feet-that went for $1,000.
"Clulnber's eyes sparkled. Three
thousand quid?' he echoed.

"a what?'

of the painter, you know

"'Well, Joseph, do you think if we
could get hold of that picture, the re-
ceiver, or fence, as you call him, we've
dealt with before would take it off our
hands?'

A little girl, before going out to a tea
party, was coached in conduct by a
fond mamma.
'You may take cake twice if it is of
fered you, but if you are asked third
time, you must say, with all possible
politeness: ''No, thank you.'
On her return home she gave assur-
ance that she had remembered and fol.

she added, ''the servant brought the
cake to me fourth time"

to the place being burgled. But l did
not anticipate that any such contin-
gency would arise.
Nor did it, not exactly, at least,
though" Rotherby left the sentence
uncompleted, and, with a whimsical
smile, took some more whisky. Then
he resumed:
"Well, next day we made arrange
ments for pal to look after the rooms,
sent what little luggage we required to
Liverpool street to wait for us, and by
six o'clock were once more at Cocker
mouth Gardens. 1t was a first-class
night for our purpose, very dark and
very wet, and /, at least, had no appre-
tensions as to the result of the enter
prise.
"We walked straight to The Elms,'
and Clumber, who had quick eye,
whispered, excitedly:
BLESSED if that notice-board hasn't
gone!'
$50 it has, l replied; the place must
have been sold, L suppose. Anyhow,
| that's one job saved us, joe
'Clumber gave a sullly assent, and I
then suggested that we should at once
proceed to carry out the interchange
of gates.
"'Allright,' said Joe, and, as had
anticipated, the matter was effected
| without much difficulty.
"Then Joseph crept into the garden
of The Elms' (Which had just been
transformed into The LindensO while
I kept watch without.
"There were two risks we were bound
| to incur; the caretaker might come out
| of the house, which was lighted as on
| the previous evening, or some one who
knew the houses might observe the
transposed gates.
"But though two or three people
passed me none even glanced at the
gates. nor did the caretaker give any
sign whatsoever. And at last, just as
I heard the church clock striking the
half-hour, 1 saw what caused me to
hurriedly join my partner in the gar
den.
"'Now's the time I murmured,
hoarsely. The chap with the pictures
coming along. and he's alone Get the
handkerchief ready
"Clumber nodded silently, and we
crouched down behind the hedge close
to the gravel path leading from the
gate to the house.
1.-The mans footsteps came nearer
and nearer, and eventually he stopped
outside. There was a moments pause,
and 1 began to fear that for some rea-
son or other he was going to pass by,
and so avoid our trap after all. But,
no; another moment, and swinging
open the gate he strobe up the path

what next ensued I need not de-
scribe. 1t is enough to say that Clum-
Der did his work noiselessly and in
simultaneously, and that in something
under SO minutes we had borne our
prize in triumph to Liverpool street.
Fifteen hours later, having landed at
Antwerp, we stood with our luggage
| awaiting the customs examination.
I'VE had never taken the picture
from its brown-paper covering, and had

Car Riots in Cleveland.

Cleveland, o., June l3.-After a quiet
Sunday, the struggle between the Big Con
solidated railway and its employees was
renewed in lively fashion yesterday.
The company started the first car from

by deputies and manned by imported men
The crowds jeered and some missiles were
thrown. The next two cars dashed from
the barns across the railroad crossing with
out stopping, violating the city ordinance
