An Amnzed Woman.

A woman who had an Arabic glass
cup OF the fourteenth century and did
not know its value took it to the Brit
ish museum. After due consideration
the expert, to her surprise, said that,
though the museum did not want 1t, II
might be worth $1,000. The woman
shuddered. because she had been car
ryIng In a crowded London omnibus a
bit of glass worth so much money and
II had mlraculously escaped smashing.
Finally, wanting money more than
Arabian glass. she sent the object to
an auctioneer's. Fancy her amazement
wnen, starting ct $500, the Arabic
cup went by leaps and bounds and was
finally knocked down for the nice sum
of $4,000.
Actually the Arabic cup was worth
very much less, but 1t so happened
that there were two rivals at the auc-
ton, who bid against each other

only by Piggott, but by the many 10
whom he confided his experience.
1t was q cold winter evening, and the
lady on whose purse Piggott had designs
stood looking at the holiday fnery so
temptingly displayed. Piggott said
that he tried all the arts known to his
craft for the extraction Of the wallet,
but all In vain. until, as a last resort,
he fshed tOothpick from his pocket
and, reaching around, tickled the lady's
ear. lnstinctively she raised her hand

the person who had robbed her. and
II she had accused him there would
have been no proof against him, as
the swag was at once passed to pal
who stood ready to receive It and run.
Piggott was not even arrested for that
crime, and the lady's ludicrous outcries
furnished material for mlrth long aft
