There he stumbles In the crossing wheol tracks, Australia's tramp and wanderer, with an Individuality of h' own which marks him out from all the wayfarers of the world. Tho gray uust or tnc plains is on his bronzed and bearded face, on his simple dress of Crimean shirt and uioloskln trousers, on his rough uu blackened boots, on his blanket bundle strapped u cross Ills shoulders, on his swinging billy can and dangling ration bags. He carries no stuff or stick, but Instead a light switch, broken from u wllga tree j)r buddah bush, with which to brush away the myriad persistent files which follow him In a dancing cloud. At his heols Is a dog which may be the veriest mongrel, or amy be a champion sheep dog of purest pedigree and worth anything up to $250. Illn day's march may be two miles or twen ty, according to tho goal which he has set himself to reach as the sun goes down. Sometimes he will camp for a day or a week or u mouth In a bond of tho river. Tlmo Is of no account tortile sundowner on the river road Will II. Ogllvle In the King's High way. 1 Julius Caesar Said to Have Landed in Britain on Twenty-seventh Day of August. According to calculations carefully made and that, at the least, estab llsh a probablo case, August 27 Is the anniversary of the landing of Julius Caesar In the Island of Britain. In his wars that resulted In the con quest of Gaul, or modern France, ,Tu llus Caesar kept a journal, In which he recorded all his operations. Ha called It. "Commentaries," and It has been pronounced to be perhaps the best record of campaigns ever writ ten by a general In the field. tin tho midst of these operations he found time to cross the channel nnd pay a military visit to the land known now as England, hut not so known then, for tho nnclent Britons then In habited the Island. He states the year of that visit, which, according to our calendar, was R5 B. C. He also states other facts which enabled the cnlcu latlon as to month nnd day to be made. Caesar In his Journal, or "Common tarles," relates that be set out on the expedition when little of summer rt' nialned, when the people of the south of Britain are engaged In their bar vest, and that after a stay of threo weeks, he returned to Gaul before the equinox. It Is, therefore, concluded that the day of landing must have been In August. A Teacher's Observation. Really when I come to think on tho vnrlous fortunes of my pupils after they went from under my charge, I am us much diverted uud moved to lainh tor at tho way and proceedings that wero followed out by some as I tun sobered Into sorrow at the sad ami pathetic fate that bofell several others. If I could say conscientiously, that the wisest man always turned to bo the happiest or the most fortunate, greatly should I be gratified. But truly, It hath never consisted with the little philosophy that I have gathered In go ing about tho world, to deal much In general rules or specified conclusions; and I have often from my observations been rather tempted to Bay, with the proverb-making king, that folly was In some cases better than wisdom, and lightness of heart moro to be envied than sobriety, and . sensd Andrew Plckon.

I wns at the Jtlnie a stenographer and private secretary to the chief of the detective bureau, was consider able of n favorite with my superior and had a natural liking for mysterle". Such the Folsora case was In the eyes of four of the most noted experts of the department, who visited the scene of the burglary and came back shaking their heads seriously, with the announcement: "No clew." It was the following day that the chief balled me nt my desk In n linn tcrlng sort of way. "Sec here, Whar ton," he observed, "you have done some good theorizing In your time and have expressed a longing for some real detective work. How does this puzzling Folsoni case strike you? The big four have thrown It in the'alr on a 'no thorouEhfare' basts. The big Jewelry firm has offered $10,0fK) re ward. Why not take a baud and earn enough to make you feel comfortable for n few years?" I had a talk with the head ,of our crack professional qunrtette soon nfterwards. Blake Muriel was his name and he had done some marvel lous things In the sleuth line, but he was short and snappy In his replies to my Interested Inquiries. Don't wing nny hopeful flight on that mlxup," he ndvlsed. "It's simple, but trackless. One person broke Into the hoiiKe, forced tho safe and walked off, It wns a neat, quick job. In one thing, however, the criminal, for such he was, and an accomplished one at that, beat us to It. Wo relied on finger marks. There wasn't one." Two hours Inter I visited the flat where tho crime hnd been committed. It wns Gregory Folsoni himself who met me nt the door, ifnd when 'I had introduced myself as a special In- vestlgator from the bureau be cordially and courteously Invited me 'IhW the flat, ne looked nnxlouf' and: de: pressed, showed me the 'forcotl door and that of the safe, and I was about to make my depnrture when a beauti ful girl entered the room. "My sister." he Introduced briefly. And then ; "Eunice, this Is a man from the detective department. I have told him all I know." I'lie charming creature bowed to me pleasantly. Then to her brother, "Did you mention the man whom 1 noticed hanging nround the building i dny before yesterday?" ! "Why, no," responded Folsoni. you enn't describe him." ,,pi "And the gloves. Gregory?" "Ah, yes, the gloves 1 I didn't think of that," said Folsom, and his sister left the room nnd returned with a pnlr of-kld gloves In her hand. "We found those In the hall," she explained, "wad ded up, as If worn for some purpose and then thrown aside." I examined them carefully. They showed creases and peeling where they had evidently been used for some rough vork. They were Im mensely lnrge. quite beyond the num bers kept In the average glove stock. They were brand new. Studying them closely, I discerned that they must have fitted to great splay hands. Another discovery they were brand new and workmanship upon them showed that they had evidently been mnde to order. Something In my mnnner seemed to Inspire pretty Eunice Folsom with curiosity and hope. 'Do they give you nny clews," she Inquired eagerly. And In response I turned back tho Inside of ono glove. Across It wns stnmped the name of Its mnker, "Jules Lefarge, 22 Conwny street." "Very much so," I said. "You have furnished n full start In the quest for a mnn with remarkably large hands, who wore those gloves so as to leave behind no tell-tale finger prints." Within an hour I was at the estab llshment of Jules Lefarge. It was no trick for him to Immediately recall supplying a dozen pnlrs of gloves made to order for a mnn with very large hands a month prior. They hnd been delivered to Benjamin Stole, 012 Park Row. I hurried thither to learn from tho landlady that the man with the big hands hnd paid his hill the day previous nnd hud departed. Rut letter linti arriveu tniu very same evening. js n duly commissioned oni(g. stiry of tho police I deemed it best to appropriate it. Tho address of the writer In a neighboring city was given I reached It the next morning, called In two detective auxllarles and located tho writer of tho letter and his guest In the limn with tho gloves. It wns with n good deal ot satis faction that I encased those brawny hands with a pair of handcuffs. It wns with rare and radiant delight that I decorated the soft, gentle ones of Eunice Folsoni with an engagement Did You Ksiimv, for Instance, that: There are 30,000 soldiers still In tho hcopltnls of the country; that the Red i Cross lo serving them? community with Public Health nurses, to forestall such calamities as the in fluenza epidemic?
