There was an eminent English ser

tistic deception. None but his inti-
mates knew for certain which was the
real and which was the sham limb. A
Wild young wag of the outer bar,
who knew the sergeant pretty we'll.
tnce thought to utilize this knowledge
Of the sergeant's secret to take in a
green, newly hedged young barrister.
The sergeant was addressing spe-
eial jury at Westminster In his usual
earnest and vehement style. and the
wag whispered to his neighbor:
you see how hot old Buzfuz is over
his case Now. I'll bet you a sovereign
I'll run this pin into his leg up to the
head and he'll never notice 1t. he's so
absorbed in his speech. He's a most
extraordinary man in that way"
This was more than the greenhorn
could swallow. so he took the bet. The
wag took a large pin from his waist
coat and. leaning forward. drove it up
TO the head In the sergeant's leg. A
yell that froze the blood Of all who
heard it. thai made the hair of the
jury stand on end and the judges wig

The Next Move.

A substantial looking man halted for
a moment in the street. pulled out
big wallet and examined a card which
he took from 1t. AS he dropped the
card back and closed the book a fat
wad of bills showed In one of its COM
partments. A pair of pickpockets pass
ing caught sight of the money, and,
with a rapid exchange OF meaning
elances. they dropped a little behind
and followed the man for several
blocks with the view of availing them
selves Of the first opportunity TO re-
lieye him of the roll. After awhile
the man with the wad suddenly turn
