she went In to match some pearls and

her on the street, where be smoked

"I noticed three well dressed men
go lnttf the shop and several women,
when suddenly one of the well dress

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.

after the man with the bag neck and

me to continue in my efforts by shout

"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

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

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

arms around blm.

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

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

"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?
"'It's our business to know a few
things.' be sakL 'But if you badn't
been game to run we should bare lost

"-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."

presently began talking about dogs, a
subject that did not interest the agri

"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

A Biblical Mathematician.
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. Louisville

rican boy who came to England and
was taken to the Hippodrome. "In
stead of enjoying the entertainment,
however, he begged, with tears in his
eyes, to be taken out. and be said:
'There are lions over there'-polntlns
to the stage 'and I am the only black
man here." It Is ft well known tart
that a man entlug lion will make a
meal off a black lu preference to a
