Perplexing a Magistrate.

II after years Philip never forgot the
shame OF that march through the
l. staring streets. The everlasting
idlers of London's busiest thoroughfares
gathered around the policeman and his
prisoner with grinning callousness.
'Wot's e bin-a-doin' Off"
"Nicked a lydy's purse. eh?"
Nav! Bin ticklin' the till, more
like"
"Bli-me, don't e look slckl"
They ran and buzzed around him like
wasps, singing most bitterly with
coarse words and cosrser laughter An
omnibus slowed its pace to let them
cross the road, and Philip knew that
the people on top craned their necks to
have a good look at him. When near
ing the viaduct steps the policeman
growled something at the pursuing
| crowd. Another constable strobe rapid
ly to the entrance and cut of the
loafers, sternly advising them to ind
some other destination. But the res
pite was a brief one. The pair reached

tracted attention before they passed
