One morning I missed i u scarfpin, a single pearl, worth about JjsoU. I valued It more tor its associa tions than .almost anything else I had. 1 decided to say nothing about It to my wife, because things of tliut sort al ways upset her. She suspects the serv ants and iloes not hesitate to let them see it. Advertising a reward brought no results. One morning nearly two years after the pin was lost I saw It in the window of a pawnshop not three blocks from my home. I knew the po lice captain of the precinct and induced him to send one of his ward men with me to the pawnshop. Matters were soon explained. I was able to prove my ownership of the pin The pawn broker consulted his hooks. "That pill,” he said, "was brought here by a woman who regularly pawns things here on commission. It is a busi ness, the same as shopping on coinmls sion. Many persons, especially wom en, who find it necessary to raise a lit tie money in a hurry, are afraid to go in person to the pawnshop. "He gave me the name and address of the woman who pawned my pin, and 1 looked her up. ‘I don't want to make any trouble for you,’ 1 said, ‘hut that pin was stolen. Just take me to the person who gave it to you to pawu, and you'll not he the loser.' "She complied willingly. She said she was sent for by a woman who had read her advertisement and wus given the pin to pawn in tin* usual course of business. She got $-0 for It, and after deducting her commission had paid tin* money over to her customer and given her the ticket. She went to the pawn shop nearest tin* house to save time. Not until we were at my own doorstep did I realize where the woman was taking me. " Do you mean to say that you got the pin in this house?' 1 inquired. " ‘Certainly,’ she replied, ‘it was given to me by a tall woman with red hair. If she still lives here I should know her in a minute "‘Tliut will do,’ l said. 'Here Is for your trouble. I shall be obliged by your not mentioning this incident to anybody.’ "The woman she had described was my wife. We had a bud quarter of an hour. She had pawned the pin to get money for a rasealllon of a brother, who had since tied to Canada. He stole the ticket from her and had evidently been unaldc to sell it before he skipped. And the poor woman had been living in mental torture for months because she was afraid to tell me. That experience cured me of a hankering for the detec tive business."

Next to New Year’s day Paus and Pinkster were the more popular and generally observed holidays of the old Dutch in the Mohawk valley. Paus was Easter and Pinkster was Whit Sunday. Pinkster was particularly a gala day, when young and old gave themselves up to Jollity and boisterous fun. The Joys of the day began In the morning with sports, outdoor games and contests and ended late at night with Indoor games and dancing. There were “egg butting” and “riding at the ring.” The latter sport was probably a rural adaptation of the tournaments ef the days of cldvulry. The neces rary arrangement was a cord tied across the road Just above the heads of men on horseback. From this cord was suspended by a short string a finger ring. Each horseman was provided with a short, sharp pointed stick about the size of a meat skewer, which was held between the first finger and thumb. The competitors were obliged to ride at full gallop under the cord and attempt to thrust their “lances” through the ring and carry It off three times. When one of the contestants j hud accomplished tlds he was chased by j all the other contestants. If he sue- j eeeded In reaching the goal w ithout be j big caught he was the winner. The ! prize was the payment by the other J contestants of the hill for himself and j his best girl at the dance and supper to he given In the evening. If, however, he was caught he was obliged to foot the hill for his cuptor and his best girl. For a week before Pinkster the In habitants, black and white, begun to make ready for the festival by erecting booths of boughs from the thickly i leaved trees and shrubs on a place lu or near the vllluge chosen because of ; Its convenience and beauty. In these booths the tables were set with good things to eat and drink. Besides the “egg butting” and “riding at the ring,” there were impromptu horse races, wrestling matches and occasional “scraps.” The music for dancing was provided by the fiddle and Jewsharp. Pinkster was a great occasion for the i slaves. On this day they hud unusual liberty to enjoy themselves according to their own Ideas. One way of doing j so was a dunce, which was no doubt a relic of one of the many religious dunces brought from Africa by the captured slaves. The music was ob tained from a huge drumlike lustru meat four or five feet long and a foot In diameter, covered at either end by a tightly stretched sheepskin. This was j held between the legs of the largest , and oldest slave In the community. | This drum he would beat with palm und fingers, and all the time he sung a wordless song, which as the excite ment Increased would become wild und weird and was accompanied by mus cular contortions, wagging and twMst Ing of the head and rolling of the eyes. One after nuothcr of the slaves would Join in the dance as the spirit moved him or her to do so till the musician was surrounded by a ring of Muck and yellow twisting, wriggling, hysterical negroes, who for the time were thou sands of miles away In ttie heart of superstitious Africa. One by one they would fall to the ground exhausted, when their places would he taken by I others who were Just beginning to feel I the moving of the spirit. It was not i unusual for this wild dance to continue j through two days. New York Tribune. Several True llllla. It Is of course true that u Jury, theo retically, Is composed of a set of un prejudiced men, with open mlmls; still there may he occasions when a slight personal feeling Invades their ranks. Such was evidently the thought borne In upon the tailor who, rising to state his case and having declined the serv ices of a lawyer for reasons best known to himself, looked over the Jurymen and then turned to the Judge. "It’s no use for me to tell you about this case, your honor," he said deject edly. "not unless you dismiss that Jury and get In a new lot. There Isn’t a man among 'em hut owes me something for clothes." Iluu SparrouN Were Cuuitht. In an old game book published In ! England in 1820 appeared the follow- j lug formula for the lessening of the 1 sparrow pest: "Take some lees of wine and hemlock Juice, temper them to gether and steep a quantity of wheat ’ therein for the space of one night. Then place the same In u spot where the j birds resort to feed, ami when they have eaten thereof they will drop down dead drunk. Too much hemlock should not be used or there will be a danger of poisoning the birds ami rendering them unwholesome food.’’ Thackeray's Host of Characters. | Some one who has been looking at tbe | | list of characters enumerated in the I last volume of an edition of Thackeray’s ■ works has calculated that their uuui I her totals up to between 3,000 and 3,500.
