As to where the feet will 20 after

A GREAT DETECTIVE.
Some Of the Tricks Played by Z Noted
English Sleuth,

English Sleuth.
1t was in 1881 that Thomas
Gregory joined the London metro
politan force. In his time Gregory
arrested many notorious criminals.
He captured gang who were
known as the cabinet of Crime"
and under whose guidance all big
robberies were carried out. Gregory
was gifted with faculty for dis
guising, and he appeared in many
characters. In order to enter and
raid club in Soho he was given the
task of gaining admittance to the
premises. At an appointed time,
dressed as poor old man, he was
lurching up against the door laden
with a basket of groundsel. The
doorkeeper, pugilist, knocked him
over into the road, but this gave the
waiting officers an opportunity for
getting inside and effecting their
mission.
One summer for weeks he might
have been seen daily outside the
general postoffice as boot cleaner,
and eventually he brought off the
arrest of gang.
Obtaining the position of valet to
a wealthy coiner, who kept a man
sion in Westminster, Gregory, with
other officers, contrived big coup,
four confcderates being sent to
penal servitude.
An amusing story is told of one
of Gregory's adventures. He was
keeping observation on the corner
of Dean street west and had adopt
ed the plan of selling matches. He
had only two boxes, large and a
small one. A Scotchman went up
to him and offered halfpenny fol
the large box, at the same time
handing the officer penny. Gregory
said he could not let him have that
one, but would try to get one fol
him. just at this moment the mar
he was watching passed by, and
Gregory went after him and located
his residence. Some forty minutes
afterward Gregory returned to the
corner of Dean street and found the
Scotchman awaiting him for hi'
matches and change.
A Bond street capture is quite {
dramatic little story. One morning
Gregory noticed in Bond street {
landau stop outside jewelers. shop
A woman dressed in the height O
fashion alighted and looked into thu
window. She somehow attracted
the detectives attention and wal
seen to drop her parasol through
the grating under the window.
The shop assistants noticed hel
trouble and came out to help hel
recover the article. No sooner hat
they left the shop than two
"swells' entered and proceeded t.
fill their pockets with iewelry. The
detective got assistance and arrest
ed all three, who turned out to b.
old convicts.-Pearson's Weekly.
