A REAL MAGIC CAP.
Curious Experience of German Or
eanist In ST. Petersburg.

| Curious Experience Of German Or
ganist In ST. Petersburg.
Not very long ago German organ
ist who went TO st. Petersburg to live
had there an experience with new
| cap that for time almost made him
believe In the magic OF the Teutonic
fairy tales.
The organist bought the cap during
! his first day at the Russian capital and
wore it the next day when he went ou'
for walk. On his return to his lodg-
| ings he was amazed to find two gold
| purses in his pocket. one OF which con
tanned a sum equivalent TO so.
The next day. after his usual WALK.
be found four purses in his outside
pocket. find that caused him to doubt
his senses. A third day. with Il SINH
lar profitable result, sent him to the
chief of police TO tell his story.
The authorities detailed a detective
to go with the German to the tailor
who made the cap. Investigation dis
closed the fact that it had been con
structed of an odd piece of English
cloth brought in by a stranger. From
it the tailor bad made fifteen identical
caps to order Having bit left, he
had constructed a sixteen cap, which
was the one sold 10 the orcanist.
The detective then followed the or
ganist through the streets of the city.
when the mystery was solved. The
cap. it appears. was the emblem of
gang of pickpockets working cooper
atively. The one who secured Il purse
dropped it into the pocket of the first
confederate he saw. The cap lad iden-
tifea the German, and he had reaped
the reward.
With this clew it was an easy matter
for the Russian authorities to catch
the whole gang.-YOuth'S Companion.
