Magic of q Tune.

The stirring tune, Cock O. tbs
North" has inspired heroes to battle
on the fields of India; it has had dark
or uses. A Glasgow detective was en-
deavoring the other day to gain ad-
mission to a house in that city In
which he had reason to- believe that
he was professionally interested. All
his efforts-had- failad. when -ne.sh=
Dor, beholding him. greeted him with
"Ye may try a. day, but yen no win

the task would have been easy, but
the detective could not essay 1t. He
hailed a street arab. however, and
babe him pipe the lay. In a clear,
shrill key the tune rose on the air, and,
behold. the door. which had up to that
moment been 80 stubborn fell back.
The detective was able to proceed with
his Investigations and to conclude
