London Fog.

A London fog brings out hundreds OF
thieves, but it also brings out men who
are wanted by the police. A detective
told a representative Of the press
about two curious instances of thieves
being caught In this way:
We. had been on the lookout for
weeks for a swindler who had stolen
bonds in his possession. The inspector
who had the warrant at last declared
that the man must have got out Of the
country. But one Gensely foggy night
the inspector happened to be in quiet
street not far from Bedford square,
when a stranger, against whom be
nearly ran, said:
"Can you tell me precisely where
am? I've got mixed up somehow"
"Follow. me and I'll show you," said
the officer. And he did show him-tO
the police station,= for the man was the
very one he had been looking for.
In another case sergeant, in one of
the thickest fogs ever known, politely
helped lady in distress near the Ken
sington road. The lady couldn't even
recognize her own house among sew
eral all alike, and the sergeant, on her
behalf, knocked at door and was an
swered by a man.
The lady did not live there, but an
hour or two afterward Il arrested the

The Noted Liar Who Had a Fairly

A noted liar once told friend that
he had at home three precious things
q bullock which could run 500 miles a
day, fowl which crowed at the begin

a dog that could read Books. The friend
intimated that he would lose no time in
seeing these marvels with his own
eyes. The man did, not expect this, as
his house was somewhat distant, so he
went home and told his wife that he
had got caught at last and that tomor-
row the RAN would arrive and he
would be disgraced.

Literary Press.

A food Of golden morning sunshine
streaming through the windows and
falling full upon his face awakened
Tom Goodhue. 1t awakened him with
a rather unpleasant start and brought
to his mind the disquieting suspicion
that he had oversight.
He came out Of bed with bound
and looked at his watch. 1t was 9:3O
half past 8, and he had an appoint
ment to go sailing with Helen Caverly
ut 8 sharp! Surely the gods Of misfor-
tune severally and collectively were
following in his train!
He dressed in record breaking time,
bounded down the stairs and, break
fastless, made all speed to the long
pier in front of the hotel, his mind
busy with the many apologies he would
undoubtedly need in a few moments.
But the apologies were doomed, for
the present at least, to remain unspo-
ken. for when he reached the pier he
saw, running out of the harbor before
the smart breeze, knockabout with a
well known pennant fiuttering from the
mast
Evidently Miss Caverly had grown
weary of waiting for him. GoOdhue
took long, lugubrious look at the dis
: tant sail and groaned.
Yet he was not the man to submit
/ tamely to adverse circumstances. At
the end Of the pier lay hope in the
shape Of his own power boat, pulling
at her painter as she swung to the tide.
I In moment he had scrambled aboard,
pulled the cover from the engine and
turned over the flywheel.
There was a series of sharp reports.

Goodhue what to do, He pulled off
his coat, caught up wrench and at
tackled the engine, not without q GER
tain grim wrath.
At the end of half an hour, despite
all his art and all his mad efforts with
the wrench, the engine, beyond a few
derisfve, choking puffs, refused to re-
.spond.
GOodhue hurled the wrench angrfly
into the locker, shook vindictive ifist
at the balky machinery and delivered
himself Of his opinions concisely and
forcefully.
Then he looked despairingly at the
sail momentarily growing smaller to
the eastward and ruefully surveyed
the blue streak of shore behind him,
not without certain poignant longings
for breakfast.
All his labers had merely succeeded
in getting him stalled here in the mid
die of the bay. He grunted his dis
gust, tied his handkerchief to a boat
hook as an improvised signal Of dis
tress and set it up in the stern. Then
he stretched himself upon the cush-
ions and calmly went to sleep.
He was awakened by ripping laugh
ter. He jumped up to find close along
side knockabout with its sail rafting
sharply as 1t headed into the wind. By
the tiller was Helen Caver1y, her eyes
sparkling as she took in his plight.
Goodhue struck a melodramatic atti-
fude, one hand on his forehead, the
other at his throat.
'Helpr' he cried, nodding toward his
distress signal.

that humility draws forth from the

courage. AS in the case of courage, it
is almost impossible wholly to con-
