' He says: "I noticed three well dressed men go lnttf the shop and several women, when suddenly one of the well dress ed men came out through the glass doArs of the shop and pushed rapidly post me as be turned up the street At the same moment I was seized violently by the arm by a milkman who bad been arranging bla cans on his handcart just In front of the shop. M 'Quick, governor!' be shouted. "Ait er him or we lose hlml Look; he's pass ed the bag to a pair- , . "Now, for the life of me 1 cannot tell, you what impelled me, I'm not the kind of man that yon can picture tearing up Bond street in the wake of an agitated milkman. But there w nmthlnfp In th rtn thr man took of my arm that Impelled me, so that 1 threw away my cigar and ran after the man with the bag neck and neck with the milkman, who exhorted me to continue in my efforts by shout ing: . " 'Throw a leg. governor! If we lose him we lose him forever 1 "We tore up Conduit street. I don't know what the pussersby thought. 1 bad no time to think of them. When we reached itegeut street our quarry dived Into the traffic like a frog Into a mill race. We went in after blm. Bow I missed being knocked down 1 don't know. The milkman took the same risks. We were across almost as soon as the man and sped after him. , 1 don't know what streets we doubled down. 1 know that at this period it flashed across my mind that I was making a conspicuous ass of myself. Here 1 was racing down the slums of Sobo at the bidding of a strange milkman, who never stopped in his exhortations to me. " "Keep It up and we'll get hlmr "Our quarry doubled and tacked, but we stuck to him till Just as we were pacing down the very worst looking street of the lot he suddenly slipped Into a low bouse, of which the door was open. My milkman never lost a second. He whispered hoarsely In my ear: "'Stop here, governor, and grab the first person as comes out of that house, no matter who be is! 1 know the way behind.' "In a flash be was gone. He had nipped down an alleyway and disap peared. 1 felt a real fool, and the whole folly of my action rushed In upon me. I bad left my wife strand ed in a shop In Bond street. 1 bad lost my bat and my stick, and here I was in an almost deserted street, standing outside a door waiting with orders from a strange man to grab the first person that came out of it In two seconds more 1 would have left the place and gone to the nearest hatter, a wiser and chastened man. But Just at that moment a boy of about fifteen came out of the door. My milkman must have left his spell upon me, for 1 Immediately threw my arms around blm. " 'Lemme go, governor! be shouted. 1 ain't done nuffln' to your "He struggled bard, and the more be struggled the more 1 felt Impelled to bold him. And then suddenly, as if by magic, two policemen appeared on the scene and seized my boy for me. My milkman, wreathed in smiles, ap peared in the doorway from which the boy had just come, saying blithely and quite respectfully: "'You've done that very well, sir. We've got the other two inside.' ' He then added, i'll just put my bands over this young feller.'. ' fHe took off the boy's battered bat. and out of the lining came a roll of 80 ; In Bank ' of Engla nd notes. He then went through the boy's clothes and produced out of bis socks a pair of ruby and diamond earrings which, to my astonishment. I saw were the very gewgaws that my wife bad taken with her to have reset The detective, for my milkman was nothing less, then pinched the boy's ear and said: "Where's the lady's bog T ' " 'In the yard, sir.' be answered sulk ily enough "The milkman retrieved it and. sure enough, it was my wife' bag. " 'But.' I said to the detective. how did you know that I was connected with the lady who owns this bag?

"-We left the boy and the two men In the bouse in -the custody of con stables and took a cab back to Bond street and here the atrangeat part of the story comes In. We found my wife still discussing her pearls with the jeweler, quite unconscious ot the fact that her bag was gone." : What la not good for the swarm is not good for the betv-Uarcus Aure Una. - ... ' 'I Not What Was Expected. ' . A man ot a sporting type was trav eling by rail when be had aa fellow travelers for some distance a couple et north country farmers who bad been south on business. The sporting man presently began talking about dogs, a subject that did not interest the agri culturists very deeply. "1 have a dog with wonderfully keen scent" he said, "and Just permit me to tell you- that one day after 1 left home he broke bis chain, and, although I had been away for hours, he tracked me and found me merely by scent What do you think of thatr I think." replied the burlier of the twain, with a yawn, "ye ocbt tae tak a bath." .

An Interesting- problem In mathe matics assumes the form of a tradition connecting Itself with the name of Jo sephus. the Jewish historian. After the Romans bad captured Potopat so the story runs. Josepbus and forty oth ers sought abetter In a cave. So afraid were they of falling Into the hands of the Romans that all of them excepting JoHepbu and one other man resolved to kill themselves. The wit of the his torian began to work, devising a w-beiue to save himself and this other man who was like minded with him wlf. He therefore proposed that they all Htand in a neinlclrcle. that they put each other to death, killing every third man in regular order and that the last surviving mun should then commit sui cide. ' This agreed upon, be was care ful to place bis like minded comrade In the sixteenth place In the line and himself in place, thirty-one. with the result that the two were the last that were left and by this means escaped death. It U a true problem, and the question was tc know before the kill ing began which numbers in line the; two friends should assume.
