mark- of identity, difficult to ex-
plain. a- 1 mid. to any one not ac*
customed to tlu* par-'.lit of . line,
but which ev>rv detective will rec-
ognize a- ex -tiller. N on may -ee a
man whom you have almost entirely
forgotten, but it you have tr.uned
yourself to associate faces ami cir-
cumstance.- his identity will flash
upon you almost with the power of a
limelight.
It is much easier to recognize the
face of a man whom you have seen
in the flesh than to recognise it
from a photograph. We receive
hundreds ot photographs and de-
scriptions of criminals at police
hea<l'|Uarter- and we inu-t fa-ten
their likeiic--cs 111 our minds if w*
hope to identify them in the street,
ilv plan h to notice particularly if
any one of them resemble- any of
uiv per-onnl acquaintances and to
make a mental note of that nni-
larity. If 1 pa-- the man afterward 1
may not know if lie is really wanted
by the police, but I know that 1 have
seen that fine before and finally it
conies to me iiii'l 1 ai i accordingly.
Of course, wi oftc-n make mistake*,
because there are many men re-
sembling each Other, oftel: we take
u man to police headquarters be-
cause we are satisfied lie is wanted,
although we cannot «ay by whom
or where. We have hi- likeness
stored away in our mental collec-
tion, but it often requires the Ber-
tillon measurements for proof posi-
tive that lie 1- a fugitive or a crook.

I ba l not been eight days at St.
Kliznbetlis before I fell 111 love.
, I in tmt .nigh. I loved with a 1' the
s11 etu'th <■ t 111 \ child nature, with a
love disinterested, simple, sincere.
It via- ticorgctte whom 1 loved;
but, alii.-, (lenrgetie did not love me.
How much 1 sulb red in conse-
quence! 1 used to hide myself in
corners, shedding many tears and
racking my brain to find some
means of pleasing the obdurate fair
nniA-lahnr in vain, a thaiikle -ta-k,
at eiidit years of age <>r at thirty.
To distinguish myself in my stud-
ies. to win by my exemplary con-
duit the encomiums of the sisters
Oulorre, all this made no impres-
sion upon cruel Georgette. She
made no secret of her preference for
a dull, idle, blustering fellow nine
years old, who won all the races,
who could fling a ball farther than
any one else, carry two huge dic-
tionaries under his arm and admin-
ister t rrible thumps.
This hero was rightly nicknamed
Met-a-.Mort.
I knew what his blows were like,
having been the involuntary recip-
ient of some of them. Some, do I
say? I had received more than 11
dilatory donkey on the road to the
fiiir.
And Georgette had only laughed.
Obviously it was absurd to think
of employing phvsical force against
mv redoubtable rival, and intellec-
tual superiority in this case availed
me nothing. I determined, there-
fore, to annihi'nte Met-a-Mort by
my ovi rpowering magnificence.
Naturally our parents did not
send us to school attired in our
hc-t cloth*s. On the contrary, most
of us wore there our oldest and
shabbiest garments. Consequently
I opined that it would be no difficult
achievement to outshine all my
school fellows.
I should have to coax my parents
into loosening their purse strings
and get them to buy me a beautiful
new jacket.
It took me a verv long time to de-
cide what color this jacket should
be. I mentally reviewed all the col-
ors of the rainbow. Ked tempted
me, ' 'it I doubted whether a jacket
of that color would be attainable.
Should j1 be blue, green, indigo, vio-
let ? No! Not one of those colors
«a- sufficiently striking.
1 paused at yellow. That might
do. It is a rich color. There is
something sumptuous and royal
aim a it. Summer was approach-
ing. I decided finally upon a yellow
jacket of nankeen.
Without delay I set to work on
mv school garments. It was a work
of destruction, for I wanted to make
them appear as disreputable as pos-
sible. 1 slyly enlarged the holes,
wrcm lied otT the buttons and deco-
rated my person lavishly with spots
and stains of all kinds.
in what I judged to be an op-
portune moment 1 timidly express-
ed my desire.
I had to do more, much more
than that, bi fore 1 could obtain my
will. 1 begged, stormed, grumbled,
sulked. I became almost ill with
ope deferred. At length, lor the
sun. of peace, my parents granted
my eccentric wish.
It was a proud moment for me
w n f.>r the first time 1 arrayed
m, ' .i: that re plclideiit nankeen
ja< ket won at the cost of so many
vi" .-.-les. Standing before the mir-
ror, 1 surv.yeil myself admiringly
for a full hour. I was grand—su-

"See," said her sweet voice. ''Who-

When we resinned our game, I
discovered that 1 had h-st ail inter-

1 went to look for the ink bottle,
