ley An Ex -Police Inspector
"I hope you get run in one day:
eelthen you'll know what It means!"
snarled a woman 1 had arrested. I
smiled, for I had been ,''run in" twice
during the previous week.
No, I hadn't laelsed. My job was not
unlike that of the provincial plain-
clothes men who were brought to Lon-
don recently to observe •and report on
night clubs. Their presence was not
known to the Metroprlitan Police, and
apparently,'wihle watching the clubs,
several came under observation by the
regular police as "suspected persons."
Whether any -were arrested has not
been disclosed.
I was drafted out of my own dis-
riet to "tail" a man who v, as suspect-
ed of being, a "fine"—a go-between in
thedisposal of etolen property.' For
reasons obvious, "fences" have no de-
sire' that Mr.,—, with loot, should
call on them in perion Hence the
use of a "Hue." The man suspected
had been shadowed repeatedly, but un-
riuccessfuily. He knew all the local'
police, uniformed and plain. So, un.
• known to them, the Superintendent
excepted, I Dame on. the scene,
A Dubious Disguise
It was dusk when I reconnoitred the
man's house. Every window had
venetian blinds. Ten minutes later
I returned for Another view. The
front room blinds bad been lowered,
and one of the top slate was askew. I
dashed off, borrowed a step -ladder,
and ,bought, a pail and duster. I'd be
a window -cleaner. I positioned the lad-
der, mounted, and was just going to
peep, when my leg was gripped.
"Get down!" was snapped. "What's
the game? Window -cleaning? Now,
and with no water? You'll some with
me; I'm a police -officer. You're one?
I don't think!"
My captor was a plain -clothes man
from another division, end the. Super-
intendent put things right. I hurried
back, but the slat had beet adjusted.
Next evening I spent two hours near
the house. Several times I tiptoed in-
to the arear of near -by houses an, d
watched. Then: "Come out of it! I've
had my eye on you for the last twenty
minutes." And a plain -clothes man of
that division declined to listen to a
ee word I said. I had reasons for not
carrying my warrant card on nie, and
was rue in again.
When Crooks Chuckle
On another occasion my trail of a
emoted man led me miles. Once
he had turned and loolkecl at me, but
I knew he didn't know me. Yet it
wouldn't do forhimto see me twice.
When he twisted on his track again I
was just in time to go up the steps to
a front door, take out my .own latch-
key, and pretend to be owing it. Stoop-
ing, and with only. me bacic visible
•- from the road, I hoped he would either
not recognize me or think I was en-
tering my own house, He went by,
and when the sound of his footsteps
told me he'd gone on, I came clown
the steps. Promptly my aria was
gripped by a young plain -clothes man.
"No hick?" he inquired, with grin-
ning- sarcasm. "You'll have to come
fora little walk," To him I was able
to prove my identity, but when I took
up the trail again the man had es-
caped,
•Disguised as a workman I followed
two men in whom we were interest-
ed. They took me out of my own dis-
trict, and went into a public -house. I
followed, and pretending I'd had a
good day at backing horses, I stood
them drinks. I wanted them to get.
talkative and friendly, and in that I
succeeded. Ten minutes from closing
time we were, literally, as thick as
thieves. That's what they were. The
drink had gone to their h ads—moat
of mine had been trickled into the saw-
dust—and one had ju.;t handed me an-
other glees and had begun, in maudlin
fashion, to tell me what I wanted to
know. Then in walked two detec-
tives.
"Conte on," said one t l the men.
"We want you. You as well," he add-
ed, looking at me, "You eau tell your
tale at the station." So we went.
"Sorry," said the Inspector, later: "We
seem to liave queered your pitch."
Too true!
In plain clothes I chased a pick-
pocket down a road, but lost him in
the fog. On the chance that he might
have hidden in a Ic.te ien area or front
garden, I searched several, but with
e- ea, out result- Emerging from an area
I saw a duan—not the pickpocket—
slink down one on the opposite side
of the road. I moved on, and had a
Prowl down a side -entry, When I
came out 1 was 'just in time to see the
man move quickly and stand in a
doorway,
I crossed the rose, and slipped down
au area a dozou yards ahead of him.
If lie came own that oue I intended to
arrest him, 1•Ie did. And as'1 grip-
ped ` im, he gripped me. And we ex-"
claimed, almost together, "What's the
game?"
"You're for the station, my lad!" he
said, and my reply was: "True! Come
alone!" And wo took each other.
Each o1 us was satisfied—until we
learnt, at the station, that two plain-
clothes men hacl arrested one another!

Gold -Mining in Wales
I1 is well known that gold was work-
ed Profitably in several parts of this
country in the time of the Romans,
and in more recent years Scotland
produced the whole of the gold used
In malting the Scottish Regalia.
Most of the old mines have been
lost, but in Wales there are still
traces of Roman aqueducts and div
erted water'oourses in the Mawddacb
Valley, and gold quartz has been dis-
covered. Mining operations on a
small scale were carried on in Morl-
onethshire until about twenty years
ago, and about half a million Pounds'
worth of gold Inas been extracted from
then] since 1851. Both the Queen and

"After the birth of my baby I, was

and was afraid I would be a constant

work without fatigue. Sine then I
have used these Pills on two other oc-
casions, with splendid result,"

Missionary Cured
By Witch Doctor
Dr. Hagberg' Wright, of the Loudon
Library, has recently been emphasiz-
ing "the curative uses of books." And,
of course, most doctors already know
that a patient who is well supplied
with interesting reading matter is
happier, and therefore more likely to
benefit by treatment, than one who
isn't,
But •books have sometimes been
credited with more direct powers of
cure. There are districts In North
Wales, for instance, wbei'e bus old be-
lief that touching the Bible is an hi -
fallible curefor certain diseases still
lingers on.
It's just as reasonable, of course; to
believe in the Bible as "medicine," as
to pill your faith to a eat's skin or a
string of beads. A cat's slain, which
was supposed to be a charm against
catching cold, was one of the exhibits
in a collection exhibited at the South -
dark Museum recently, And there
are Loudon women who believe that
wearing a string of blue bet de affords
them protection from hronchilis.
Jungle "Doctors" Are. Up to Date.
Not only does the belief in charms
of this sort persist, in spite of Educa-
tion Acts, but there aro still witch.
doctors who ply their trade in Lou -
don's East End, Their clients call
them "wise men," but their methods
are pretty much the same as those of
their confreres of the African jungle.
]n one case, which came ,to the
writer's notice recently, a woman,
whose husband was very ill, consulted
one of these "wise men" She was
told to burn her husband's clothes
and get new ones, "so that the angel
of death might not recognize him."
This .failing to effect a cure, the "wise
mau" decided that it was necessary to
kill a pure white cock at midnight.
While London's "wise men" thus
employ the ancient spells and charms,
the African witch -doctors appear to
be moving with the time.]. It was re-
cently announced that they were form.
lug a "trade union" in order to pro-
tect their interests, and missionaries
are telling some strange stories about
new "cures" which are the very last
word in jungle medicine.
In One case, according t0 a mission-
ary, a native who was very ill, being
unable to speak or to move his limbs,
was given "medicine" mads by mix -
leg powdered gramophone record with
water from a locomotive. The witch-
doctor who invented this novel treat-
ment explained that the englue water
was t0 intake his patient move, and the
record dust to make him talk. And
the patient did move and talk after a
course of this treatment,

Hermits of the Calf
The Calf of Man is at. islet of 000
acres lying to the south-west of the
Isle of llian.
It is a bird -lovers' paradise, be-
cause of t11e innumerable sea -birds
which nest upon its cliffs. Apart from
those bh'ds, the principal inhabitants
are rabbits, but there are one or two
houses.
It was recently announced that the
Calf was to be sold, and 11 bas been
suggested that it should be acquired
by the Manx' authori-ies'and' develop-
ed under their control, but with due re-
gard to the "nesting rights" of the sea-
birds.
One or two hermits have made the
Calf of Man their home, and one of
them was among the earliest food re-
formers, This gentleman, who lived
in the reign of James I., has recorded
that he "resolved to make a perfect
experiment for the obtaining a long
and healthy life," by living on "herbs,
oil, mustard, and honey." Thisdiet
he "roost strictly observed" while on
the island.—Answers.
Paint Your Screens

material on a block of wood 0 or 7
inches long. have your can of paiq
or enamel handy, moisten the swab
with it and just go up and down the
screen. The mesh will not clog up. A
small brush to get into the. corners Of
the screens and to paint the frames is
also good.—Housewife. •

From the way she goes?
When the bird flits the cage,
We set the cage outside,
With seed and with water,
And the door wide,
Haply we may win It so
Back to abide.
Hang her cage of earth out
O'er Heaven's sunward wall,
Its four gates open, winds in watch
By reined care at all;
Resume In hanging hedgerows
The rain -quenched blossom,
And roses sob their tears out
On the gale's warm heaving bosom;
Shake the lilies till their sceut
Over -drip their rims,
That our runaway may see
We do know her whims:
Sleek the tumbled waters out
For her travelled limbs;
Strew and smooth blue night thereon,
There will. -0 not doubt herb

With all her stars about her!

Save the Children
Im Summer When Childhood Ail-
ments Are Most Dangerous.
Mothers who keep a box of Baby's
Own Tablets iu the house may feel
that the lives of their little ones are
reasonably safe during the hot weath-
er. Stomach troubles, cholera infan-
t= and diarrhoea carry off thousands
of little ones every summer, in most
cases because the mother does not
have a safe medicine at hand to give
promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve
these troubles, or if given occasionally
to the well child they will prevent their
coming on. The Tablets are guaran-
teed to be absolutely harmless even
to the newborn babe. They are especi-
ally good in summer because they re-
gulate the bowels aud keep the stom-
ach sweet and pure. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents

FIint to Jelly -Makers
Jelly makers who use parafliu to
cover their Welted product often find
it difficult to clean up the drops that
run back from the ordinary saucepan
in which the paraffin has been melted,
and also to remove the last coating of
paraffin from the pan when the task
is finished. These di/Acuities can be
completely eliminated at the YOU
small cost of nn individual sized alum-
inum or enamelware coffee -pat, In
which the pitrafiin can he molted and
from which It can be poured with ac-
curacy., By keeping the lathe coffee 1
pot exclusively for this purpose, there
will be no need to remove the surplus
paraffin; it can be left in the pot for
the next time of need. The covered
pot will keep it free from dust if the
user observes the added precaution to
cover the opening of the Spout either
by inserting a cork or by trying a bit
of paper over it.

less there are many Chicagoans who

Different Version
New proof of the almost complete
unreliability of the testimony of by-
standers to something that happens,
even though it is the custom of law
courts to rely almost exclusively on
such testimony, is supplied by an ex-
periment conducted some years ago
by a Boston lawyer, Mr. George G.
Crocker, and recently published with
critical comments by Dr. Walter
Franklin Prince, Research °Racer of
the Boston Society for - Psychic Re-
search. In Mr, Crocker's experiment,
twenty responsible business men and
lawyers of Boston served as witnesses
of a little playlet acted by Mr, Crock-
er and three assistants. In this play
let au oral order was given to a
broker concerning the purchase of
some stock and was repeated wrongly
by the broker. In addition one of the
actors laid down a pocketbook, which
was picked op and carrie off by an-
other actor. A third actor brushed
somewhat violently against the man
who lost the pocketbook but took no-
thing from bine After all' this, the
twenty witnesses were asked each to
write down independently his account
of what he had seen and heard, As
woe expected, all twenty accounts
were different. 41'ot'se still, not one of
the twenty witnesses, Dr, Prince
Points out, saw tlr,, man wito lost the
pocketbook lay that article on the
table. Not one witness saw the actual
thief pick up the pocketbook Only
one witness noticed that the broker
repeated the stock order incorrectly
and this one witness had the correc-'
tion wrong, Tile moral for scientific
investigators, Dr. Prince remarks, is
"that tate human senses may easily be
misled and betrayed amid the compli-
cations of even a britt incident"
