"What do you mean by 'shied at'?"
'What I sct soma pcrfedeloi-s Is' easy,

"I'm a porfesslonal Sambo."

said I.

"Them as '.Its mecets a clgnrt"
"Doesn't It hurt, you"?"
"Oh I you gets Msed to It though, to be

"Hut surely a wooden Image would serve
your turn Just as well."
"A wooden Image!" exclaimed the man
disgustedly. "Jamesf you must be a fool,
you must! Who wants to throw at a
wooden Image you can't 'uft a wooden
imngc, can you if you throwed 'eavena

tho 'umaneat ot all. Bo you see, young
cove, jou're a fool with your wooden
Image."
Now, as he ended, I stooped very sud
denly, and caught hold of his wrist
and then I saw that he held my purse in
his hand. It was a large hand with bony
knuckles and very long fingers, upon
one ot which was a battered ring. He
attempted, at first, to tree himself of
my grip, but, finding this useless, stood
glowering at me with one eye and leering
with the other.
"Hal" said I.
"Hallol" said he.
"A purse!" said I.
"Why, so it Is," he nodded; "lcastwnys.
It looks uncommonly Uko one, don't it?"
"What's more, it looks like mine!"
"Does It?"
"I could swear to it anywhere."
"Could you?"
"I could."
"Then n'r'aps you'd better take It.
young cove, and very welcome, I'm sure."
"So you've been picking' my pocket."
said I.
"Never picked a pocket In my life
should scorn to."
I put away by recovered property, and
stralghway Bhlft,ed my grip to the fel
low's collar.
"Now," said I, "come on."
"Why what are you a-dolng of?"
"What does one generally do with a
pickpocket?"
But I had hardly uttered tho words
when, with a sudden cunning twist, he
broke my hold and, my foot catching in
a guy-rope, I tripped and fell heavily,
and ere I could rise he had made good
his escape, r got to my feet, somewhat
shaken by the fall, yet congratulating
myself on the recovery of my purse, and
threading my way among the tents, was
soon back among the crowd.
I had noticed a venerable man In a fine
blue surtout and a wlde-brlmmed hat,
who sat upon the shaft of a cart and
puffed slowly at a great pipe. And as ho
puffed, he listened Intently to a quack
salver's nddress, and from time to tlmo
his eyes would twinkle and his lips curvo
In nn Ironic smile. The cart, upon tho
shaft of which ho sat, stood close to a
very small dirty and disreputable-looking
tent, toward which the old gentle
man's, back was turned. Now, as 1.1
watched, I saw the point pf a knife
gleam through the dirty canvas, which,
vanishing, gave placo to a hand pro-;
truding through the silt thu made a
very largo hand with bony knuckles and
long fingers, upon one of which was a
battered ring. For an Instant the hand
hovered undecidedly, then darted forward
the long skirts Of the old gentleman's
coat hardly stirred, yet, even as I
watched, I saw the hand vanish with a
fat purse In Its clutches.
Skirting the tent, I carno round to the
opening, and stooping, peered cautiously
Inside. There, Bure enough, was my pick
pocket gazing Intently Into the open
purse, nnd chuckling as he gazed. Then
ho slipped it Into his pocket, and out he
came where I Immediately pinned him
by tho neckerchief.
'And, after awhile, finding he could not
again break my hold, ho lay still, beneath
me, panting, and, as he lay. his one cyo
glared more balefully and hla other
leered moro waggishly than ever as I,
thrusting- my hand Into his pocket, took
thonce the purse and transferred It to my
own.
"Halves, mate!" he panted, "halves,
and we'll cry 'quits.'"
"By no means," said I, rising td my
feet, but keeping my grip upon him.
"Then what's your game?"
"I Intend to hand you over aa a pick-,
pocket."
"That means 'Transportation'!" said he.
wiping the blood from his face, for the
struggle, though short, had been sharp
enough.
"Well?" said I.
"It'll go 'ard with the babby,"
"Haby!" I exclaimed.
"Ah!-or the' hlnfant. If you like It
better one as I 'found In a ahawl, alay
Ing on the steps o' my van one night,
sleeping like an alderman and It were
snowing, too."
"Yet you are a thlefl"
"Wo calla It 'faking.' "
"And ought to bo given up to the au-
"And who's to look arter the babby?"
, "Are you married?"
"No."
"Whore Is the baby?'
'In my van."
"And where la that?".
Yondetl" and he pointed to a Kally
pnlnted caravan that stood nearby. " 'B b

low led me to his van. and, following him
up the ateps, I entered a place wnfeh.

purse." So. comlrg In n while to whofe
the quack doctol- was still holding forth
there, yet seated upon the shaft of the
cart, purring at his great pipe, waa the
venerable mnn. At sight of him tha pick
pocket stopped and caught my arm.
"Cotne, master,"' said he, "Come, yod
never mean to give up aft that good
money there's $0 guineas, and more, fn
that purse!"
"All tho more roason to return It,"
said I.
"No, don't don't go "a-wnatlng good
money like that-lfa like throwing It
away!" Hut shaking off thir'fellow'a im
portunate hand, I approached, and saluted
tho venerable man.
"Sir." said I, "you have, had your
pocket nicked."
He turned and regarded me with a pnlr
or aeep-set, very bright eyes, and blow
a whiff of umoke slowly Into tho air.
"Sir," ho replied, 'TTound that out five
minutes ago"
"Tho fact seems to trouble you very
little," said I.
"There, sir, being young, and' Judging
exteriorly, you are wrong. Thero Is re
counted somewhere In the classics an
altogether Incredible story of a Bpartnn
youth and a fox: the boy, with the
animal hid beneath his cloak, preserved
an unruffled demeanor despite thn
animal's tearing teeth, until he fell dbwh
and died. In tho same wny, young- sir,
no man can lose fifty-odd guineas from
his pocket and remain unaffected by tho
loss."
"Then, sir," said I, "I am happy to be
able to roturn your purse to you." He
took It, opened It, glanced over Its con
tents, looked at me, took out two guineas,
lobked at me again, put the money back,
closed the purse, and. dropping It Into
his pocket, bowed his acknowledgment.
Having Uono which, he made room for
mo to sit beside him.
"Slr.V said he, chuckling, "hark to that
lovely rascal In the cart, yonder hark to
him; Galen was an ass and Hippocrates
a dunce beside this fellow hark to him."
We listened a. while, and as we eat
son i Decame engrossed in conversation.
"Remarkable!" said my companion sud
denly. "What Is, sir?"
"While I listened to you I have ac
tually let my pipe go out a thing which
rarely happens to me." As he spoke ho
thrust ono hand into his pocket, when he
glanced slowly all' round, and back once
moro to me.
"nemnrkablo!" said he again.
"What now. sir?"
"My purse has gone again!"
"Whnt! gone!" I ejaculated.
"Vanished!" said he. and. to nrove
his words, turned Inside out first one
pocket nnd then the other.
"Come with me." said I, springing up,
"there Is yet a chance that we may pos
sibly recover it" Forthwith I led him to
where had stood a certain gally-palnted
enravan, but it was gone vanished as
utterly as my. copanlon's purse.
"Most annoying!" said he. shaking- hla
venerable head, "really most exasperat
ing I particularly wished to secure, a
sample of that fellow's pills the collec
tion of quack remedies ts a fad of mine
as It Is"
"My purse Is entirely at your disposal,
sir," said I, "though, to tie sure, a verv "
But there I stopped, staring, In my turn,
blankly at, him.
"Ha?" ho exclaimed, his even twin.
'kllng. ' . " "
"Yes," I nodded, "the rascal mado off
with my purae also; wo ore companions
In misfortune."
"Then as such, young sir, come and
dine with me. my habitation Is but a
little way off." .,
"Thank you. sir. but I am half expect
ing to meet with bertaln good friends of
mine, though I am none the less honored
by your offer."
"So bo it, young sir; then permit me to
wish you a. very 'Good daytt " and.
touching the brim of his hat with the
lone stem of his pipe, the Venerable Man
turned and left me. ,,
Howbelt, though I looked diligently on
all hands, I saw nothing of Simon or the
Ancient; thus evening was falling ns,
bending my steps homeward, I came to a
partlfcf tho fair whero drlnklng-b6oths
had been set up, and whero they were
preparing to roast ari ox whole, as ts
the Immemorial custom. Drinking waa
going on. with Its usual accompaniment
of boisterous merriment and rough

so that my temper waa already some.
thing tho worso, when, turning aside to
nvoia nn mis, 1 came run upon two feU
lows, well-to-do farmers, by their look,
who held a struggling Blrl between them
toeach of whom I reached out n hand.
andr gripping them firmly by their col
lars, .brought their two heads together
wun a sounding crack and then I saw
that tho girl was Prudenqe. Next mo
ment we wcro running, hand In hand,
with tho two fellow roaring In pursuit.
But Prudence Was wonderfully fleet and
light of foot, whereforo, doubling and
turning among carts, tents and booths,
we had soon outstripped our pursuers,
and rid ourselves of them altogether. In
spite of- which Prudence still ran on till,
catching her foot In somo obstacle, sho
tripped, and would have fallen but for
my arm.
And looking down Into her flushed face,
glowing through the aweet disorder of her
glossy, ou.rts, I could not but think how
lovely she was. But, as I watched, the
color lied from her cheeks, her eyes,
dilated, and she started, away from me.
Now, turning hastily, 1 saw that we
were standing closo by a certain small,
dirty and dlsroput,able-ooklng tent, the
canvas of which had been silt with a
knife and my movement had been, quick
enough to enable me to see a face vanish
through the canvas, And, fleeting though
