Not a Sherlock Holmes.

A police officer tells an inter-
esting tale of an old woman he
once had to deal with. A batch
of bank-notes had been stolen,
and the detective found someone
to tell him that the old woman in
question, a notorious fence"
had one of the notes, at least, at
her house.
So implicitly did the detective
rely upon his informer that he
set aside the formality of a search
warrant, and proceeded to visit
the old woman's house, locked
the doors on the inside, and rum
mayed the rooms from cellar to
roof. He is an officer who prides
himself on his keen scent in a
search, but he was completely
bafied; and after tearing up some
boards and knocking down some
plaster by way of making a show
of doing something, while he
waited for a new idea, at last he
gave it up.
Turning to the woman and
handing her back a candle which
she had lent him to work with,
he said:
"Well, this time | confess |
am beaten. Tell us where it is,
mother, and I'll get you off. "
The promise was sufficient.

Brave Girl Saves Two.

Doris Brant, a Massachusetts,
girl, and only l6 years old, is to
receive a medal from the Mas
sachusetts Humane Society for
saving the lives of two friends,
Ruth and Hazel Bethel. The
three girls had spent the summer
at Lake Webster, and there Hazel
had learned to swim, though she
had not become very perfect in
that useful art.
One day the two sisters were
in the water together, when Ha-
Eel found herself sinking, and
screamed to Ruth, who at once
went to her assistance. But by
the time of Ruth's arrival, Ha-
eel had become so frightened as
not to know what she was doing,
and she grasped her sister in such
a way as to make it seem proba.
BILE that both would be drowned.
Doris. who was on the shore,
lost no time in going to the help
of the imperiled pair. though she
must have realized that this was
with no little danger to herself.
She forced Hazel to loosen her
grip on Ruth, and then told Ruth,
who was almost exhausted, to
swim ashore, while she herself
supported t h e OF h sister.
Ruth carried the alarm to the
shore and in a short space of
time, a rowboat came to the res
cue, and Hazel and her plucky
rescuer were taken TO safety.

A Lesson in Virtue.

The shop girl may not have a
comfortable home, where in
safety she might meet and be
properly introduced to a few
available men. She may not
move under the so-called PRO
tections'' of society. But she
has a right to her love affairs.
and she can be chaste and dis
Greet and strong in spite of her
disadvantages.
Many a carefully nurtured
child, protected in her home,
could learn much for her safety
and happiness from the hun

in courtesy and decency, main
