ty yeara- of age, plainly and neatly
dressed, and looked like a very res

The instant I began to tern tow-

quietly withdrawn, and when I
cd him he Wa§ looking gravely at
something on the sidewalk., •As I
eontinned to study him he turned
hie head, and we had & good square
1;ek at one another for a moment,
without a word being said Wy,etitlier:
f[a then pulled the etrap and left
the step to'eeek some other sphere
of action,
Tr.
A few -days ago,. while standing
on the frons plattorm of a Fourth

eyes down, anti- -sew to ttnyetastonish-
rout that my,vest Wat.enibuttoned.
As it could not have unbuttoned it-
.
,aud as I ceitainly had not done it,
1 took occasion, while slewty.,rebut-
,
tonincr it,' - tithed.? lOokg 'around
and Secide, if possible which ,of my
neighbors had been thus attentive
tome. I made up my mind, from
the relative positions of all OD the
platform, th,ait MiLit, have been
done by a gentleman standing near-
est to and just in front of me, and
who must have seen me returning
my pockettiook to theeinside pocket
of ray vest, after paying nay fare.
Yet it seemed preposterous to think
so, for he was a very decent -looking
roan hie clothes were neat and
wellecut, and there was nothing
elead't or extravagant about- him.
Ile appeared perfectly respectable,
and it seemed utterly impossible
that he could be a pickpocket.
I noticed, however, th he carried
oil his, left arm 'a light coat in a
"ieraelly " way, which would very
effectually conceal his right hand
when raised for sueh an operation,
and, since I had to choose between
believing that my- yes, unteettoned
or that he had done it, I felt
forced to believe' the latter. I no-
ticed also, that he and I were the
• only ones that were quietly seudy-
ing our neighbore. The rest all had
the usual straight -ahead look cf pas-
sengers intent upoh their journey.
I had uttered no exclamation
when I made my discovery, so the
gentleman in question appeared per-
fectlyat his ease. I felt convinced,
however, that, if Ae were a pick-
pocket, that he must be in, the front
rank of his piofession for gentleness
of touch, dexterity of fingers and
imperturbable' demeanor. After
studying us all quietly for a few
reon3ents, he made his way unob-
trusively to the rear platform, and
spoke to a taller, but younger man,
who, singularly enough, had also a
light coat, carried, in the „seine,
bunchy way, on the left arm. Af-
terialking together for a .few sec-
onds. they left the car on the corner
of Fourteenth street, and I saw
• them no more.
Not' long ago a car conductor
gave quite an interesting account of
how his pocket was picked, which I
shall repeat as nearly as - possible
in his own words
It was not on my Own car, or on
my Own line. You see, I ,had gof a
day off to attend to Borne business
iaBijooklyn, where I had to make a
paymeet of $50. As I was leaving
the house, mj brother-in-law says
to inn, Take care you don't get
your pocket picked." "Well,"
says 1, "if any one picks mrpock-
ete he's welcome to all he can get."
When I got over to the other side
of the river, 1 went to pay nay $50,
but Ino sooner touched my pocket
than I knew I had been. robbed.
I was thunderstruck. My pocket
had really been Ocked after all.
So 1 just sat down
'and thought it
alt out, and when 1. got through, it
was just as clear as noonday. Yoa
see, as I was getting on to the car,
I noticed some suspicious-lookieg
characters on the platform, so I just
buttoned up my pantaloons pocket
tehere I had my money. Well,
Lord. bless you I might just as well

While wiiter was one day•
conversing in a car with a friend on
this subject, he told me the followt
itio story The best joke I know of
abut pickpockets is'whathappened
to .genttman nal Med who
at the time was Pvesident of one of
out New York teas, I had occa-
sion 'to go to Philadelphiatto attend
to scene business in , which A
was interested, and in the. cars -met
a-ftiend, An old gentleman and his
grownrid son. Wlin. we re*liesi
Philadelphia, the old gentleman de-
clined getting into the coach of the
hotel to which we were going, pre-
ferring to go more cheaply by the
horse -cars. We got to the hotel be-
fore him, and when he joined us he
said he had.hs pocket picked on the
cars. Mr. A --had beef talking
with a friend about something else,
but catching a ward or twek of our
conversation he ;asked Me about it,
and when I told him tvha had hap
pened he said : "Ph I V can never
have any sympetlay with a man who
has had - his pocket picked. Why,
when I was getting on to the ..ears
at New- York, • a fellow reached
across me very roughly, pretending
that he wanted to reach the knob of
of the doer,- I looked. at him, and
knew in a moment that he - was a
pickpocket ; so I just pet my hand
on my breast pocket, where I car-
ried my pocket -book and papers,
and kept it there; while I looked, at
him so as to leb him seethat I knew
who he was and what he was after"
We then wont on. conversing.
about the business that had brought
us to Phila,clelphia. After discuss
ing it for some. tinae
wished to shew us some memoranda
he had made, and put his hand into
