For twelve years The Week has kept the Union Jack flying in its cdito- I columns. Whateve, other issues have been at stake, it has always relied as its chief mission the spread of Imperialism. It has been proud to Ifsociated specially with the work of the Navy League and the formation pe Naval Volunteers. It has also tried to maintain a fair and progres- policy in public matters. At the present time it finds itself, in coin- l with most newspapers, face to face with such a curtailment of income pill make it impossible to continue publication without some assistance. 1 big dailies are in a position to secure this assistance; The Week is not We are any in Victoria who believe that the work of The Week in the 1 and its prospect of usefulness during the great world struggle ou which have now entered justify the effort to keep it alive, the editor will glad- Jvail himself of such assistance at the present time. If, however, the de- Ids of the moment in other directions are too heavy too admit of this, 1 Week must cease publication with the current issue and will do so with ling but gratitude for the splendid support it has received for so many Is, and especially for the" many cheering expressions of approval which le have rendered the continuance of its work possible. IE hour lnis struck. Not only Europe, the immediate theatre of war, but the whole world traits on the result of greatest clash of nrnis in the history of the race. Never before has there been a Id-wide campaign, yet, today there is not a |le Great Power, which is not either en- in actual warfare or mobilizing for Itualities. A war between England and liiiiuy has been imminent for seven years, Ino one anticipated that when it broke out lould practically embrace all tho Powers. lay England, Prance, Russia, Germany, Itrin, Belgium nnd Servia are fighting. |y and Japan are mobilizing. The United Government is preserving nn armed Itrulity and is preparing to mobilize. All 1 in defiance of a universal desire for peace lof an ever-strengthening peace sentiment. Ith is iu defiance of the formal institution lhe Hague Conference and the application rbitrtition to the settlement of interna- il grievances. And all this because one ifiint ruler, supported by a bureacracy, the breath of whose nostrils is militarism, bssayed the role of a modern Alexander J set out to conquer the world. It will lably never bo known how any man of lligcnce and any body of rulers could have linced themselves that Germnay could Ige victorious from such a conflict as she 1 precipitated. Whether tlie conflict be I drawn out or short, sharp and decisive, Inany must already realize that she has Iscd tlie antagonism of the world and that [funds practically alone in the most titanie ;gle which history will record. She must (realize even now that the methods which Employed to bring about the war, the delate provocation, the insolent ultimatum, dishonourable proposals and even more lonouruble disregard of solemn treaties, It already provoked the execration of man- II and left her as defenceless in the moral ■in, as she must ultimately bo in the amphi- Itre of war. No stronger condemnation of policy of Germany could be found than in ■dignified manifesto of the Czar of Russia the impressive announcement of Mr. lith to the British 1 louse of Commons on [rsday night. The concluding paragraph lie Czar's manifesto throws a strong light lite attitude of Germany at a time whenthe Iser was protesting that he was leaving no |ic unturned to maintain peace. "Contrary to our hopes, in our good ihourly relations of long date, and disre- iling our assurances that the mobilization lisnres taken were in pursuance of no obit hostile to her, Germany demanded their Inediate cessation. Being rebuffed in this demand, Germany sud- y declared war on Russia." Mb. Asq rmi's Statement, Hut the strongest condemnation of the duplicity and dishonesty Ijermauy is to be found in Mr. Asquitli's remarkable statement, a lenient which the world would find it difficult to accept, did it not. |w that both the man and the circumstances render it impossible there should be the slightest deviation from the truth. Mr. jpiith began by assuring the House that the efforts of Sir Edward ly, tho Britisli Foreign Secretary, to secure for Europe an honour- ! and lasting peace had been "strenuous and unremitting. He lit on to say that Germany had made a strong bid for British ncu- Jlity, "which embodied tlie infamous proposal that England should le her a free hand to annex the whole of the Colonial possessions ■France." Britisli neutrality meant not only abstinence from -wa' |l from aid to France, however dire the necessity, but it meant that gland should stand quietly by and see Germany invade and occupy llgian territory in violation of a treaty engagement to which both t— England and Germany were jointjguatories. As Mr. Asquith wed expressed it, "to have accede^ to such a request would have been to barter to the enemy threatening her our obligations to keep our plighted word, and in return we should get nothing but a promise given by it Power whicli at that moment was announcing its intention of violating its own treaties." Well might he add that we should have covered ourselves with dishonour and betrayed the interests of our country if we had accepted it. The concluding paragraphs of Air. Asquitli's statement must bo quoted in full, because they express, ir. the simplest and most convincing terms, the attitude of the British Government, and furnish the most complete vindication of her policy. "The Government is confident that the nation is unsheathing the sword in a just cause. AVe are fighting, first, to fulfil our obligations, which, if entered into by us ns private individuals, no self- respecting man could have repudiated, and, second, to vindicate the principle that small nations are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at thc arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering power. No nation ever entered into a great contest with cleaner eon- OUR ©WN WAR LORD science or a stronger conviction. It is striking for the defence of o principle, Cie maintenance of whieh is vital to the civilization of the world. As wo have entered the struggle, let us now make sure that all our resources, not only those of the United Kingdom, but those of the vast Empire of which it is the centre, are thrown into the scale." A United Emi'iuk. Whatever else the German menace, now so dramatically converted into an Armageddon, may have effected, it has served the purpose of welding together the bonds of our Empire as nothing else eould have done. Today the British Empire is acting with the same unanimity, the same spoiiianeousness and the. same enthusiasm us ling- liind was wont to display when there was no Greater Britain beyond the seas. Such a spirit is indomitable and, united to a just cause, must ensure victory. No one in the Empire is thinking of defeat; no one doubts for a moment that in the cud we shall win, and the victory will be not only a victory for Brilish arms und fur the allies of Britain, but a victory for those standards of fair dealing nnd mora] responsibility upon which Britain's world-wide reputation rests. Standards ok Civiuztion. Three months ago The Week ventured to say that whenever England and Germany went to war it would not be becaues of rivalry in the matter of industrial or colonial expansion, but it would be a clash of civilizations. This statement has been more than justified by the happenings *f the last fortnight. The German diplomats have shown that their standard is not ours, nor, indeed, is it the standard of civilization. Their hypocrisy, duplicity and cruelty stand reveille .1, crowned by the infamous proposal made to the British Government. It was impossible that two powerful nations such as England and Germany should long continue to develop two essentially different standards of civilization upon the same Continent, and one begins to think already that it must have been as difficult for the Gorman bureaucrats to understand why England should cling to honour iu her treaty obligations, as it is for English-speaking people everywhere to understand how a nation calling itself civilized could manifest a degree of callousness, of dishonesty, and of chicanery, of which,even the so-called pagan nationalities would be ashamed. We have often spoken reproachfully of Oriental standards and Oriental civilizations. The Oriental Powers have shown that in this grent crisis their conceptions of duty are far nearer to the British standard than are those of the vaunting War Lord of Europe. The ultimate issue must and will be the establishment of that standard for which England has contended ou land and sea for many centuries and which is today recognized throughout the world as tlie highest conception of national and individual freedom. Pbogbess ok the War. It must not, however, bo forgotten that we are only at the beginning of the campaign, ■ is it possible that we shall pass through this period of supreme test without many anxious moments and some reverses. There must be no feeling of discouragement when these occur and, above all, there must be no slackening of effort. The campaign hns opened most auspiciously. The British navy has forced the German fleet towards the shores of Holland and the Government has been able to announce that the coasts of Englund are safe for shipping. At what cost this result lias been achieved we do not know at tlie moment of writing; we may have paid a bigger price than anticipated. But the net result is undoubtedly a triumph. The brave Belgians have made a magnificent defence and have been able to check the encroachments of the invading German army. They were not expected to do more. Liege still holds out; even if it has to surrender, which would not be surprising, in view of the char- nctoi' of its fortifications and the overwhelming number of the enemy, the check imposed bus been in the highest degree helpful to France. Assuming, which is even more than a reasonable assumption, that Niiinur will bo able to impose n similar check, the result will be that plenty of lime will lie furnished for the massing of French troops along the Belgian frontier and for ibe assembling of British troops on Belgian soil, in which ease another Wnter] nay be fought early in the campaign not fur from the historic plains wiib which the downfall of ibe great Napoleon will forever be associated. The other satisfactory feature of the contest so far lias been llie gratifying measure of success which has attended ibe efforts of llie British Xavy io keep open our mule routes. Tliis success musl lie highly disci erling to the Germans, nnd if continued must shortly paralyze their efforts on the Atlantic, since tbev will find it impossible to re-coal in face of the determined attitude of nil the Powers on the American Continent and the absence of German coaling stations accessible to their fleet. Oi'n Owx War Loud. Wilh Kitchener at the War Office, tlie Empire breathes easily. All our leading men are uniting their efforts and constituting u veritable Council of War.

There is im conversation on the street corners save that which concerns the European situation; there is little written and still less read which does not deal in some measure with the crisis whicli at the time of writing is still ponding, und there seems no opportunity for a quiet philosopher to cull a few pregnant thoughts from the manners and habits of his neighbours which might be woven into au article suitable for insertion under the old familiar caption. But there are enough paper warriors in the world today; more than enough street corner strategists who ask nothing more than the chance to detail the entire programme of thc German Army and the Britisli Fleet, and an uncomfortable sttperflu'ty of men who do not hesitate to outline the terms on which peace will ultimately be made. I have no wish to join their ranks, su if you are looking for a treatise on such subjects pnss on to another column or seek another paper, l'or my part I prefer to prattle of the things whereof I have knowledge and to give vent to my forebodings only in the land of dreams. "Do as I say and not as I do" is a motto which has, I think, become increasingly common with the passing of years. There was a time whim we werc tnnght that example is better than precept. I can remember the days when bicycling on Sunday wns forbidden tne, not because it was inherently wrong, but because it afforded a bad example to others. A generation ago example was everything, and all the good things which werc not prohibited for some evil which was an inseparable part of their being were included in a "codex expurgatoritts" whicli had for its title "Bad Example." Nowadays, however, life is much simpler. The general outlook is broader, and so many things are sanctioned which were formerly "common or unclean" that this habit of setting an example has been largey discarded ami preach-: ers (I have here no reference to clergymen) feel free to do in private thnt which they condemn in public. It is a convenient practice, but strikingly inconsistent, as the following example will show. Indulging in a favourite habit of mine I was comfortably ensconced in a moving-picture show lnst Saturday; the house wus crowded and just behind me were sitting two girls of uncertain age with a little boy. My impression is that the latter was a young brother, but be might have been a sou. The unfortunate youth, whether brother or son, wns under the guardianship of one ,of lhe girls, and her companion,. I gathered, was a friend. The hoy wits interested in tlie pictures; the girls saw nothing but the dresses and faces of the female characters as they appeared on the screen. Every time tlie boy commented on an incident in a picture, as for instance on the blood pouring from tbe shoulder of a wounded Indian, or thc heroic conduct of tbe deputy-sheriff, he was instantly "hushed" to silence nnd threatened with dire penalties for daring to talk "while the show was going on." Between bis ejaculations, however, the girls carried on au animated conversation uncut the beauty or otherwise of the aetresses and the style of their clothes. The absurdity of the thing got on my nerves at last, and I remarked in a purposely audible voice to my neighbour, a complete stranger, "Poor kid I When he gets home he will be expected to give thanks for having been given a treat!" Thereafter silence reigned behind, * Do you know, 1 felt really sorry for that boy. I pictured tbe long years which lay before him of companionship with that unsympathetic female. I thought of thc disillusions which would meet him as day after dny were revealed the inconsistencies with whieh she was enwrapped. In a way I felt sorry for her, too. She was supposedly doing her duty, and that would be accounted to her for righteousness, but she was doing it so badly that I was perforce reminded of a story whicli I remember formed an exercise in a book of selections for turning into Greek Prose. An elderly miser went to the temple and after concluding his devotions he passed an urn into which the devout were throwing pieces of money. Desirous of hiding his meanness from the world in general he also threw in a piece of money, but by mistake threw gold instead of silver. To his frantic pleadings that he be given back the change tell priest turned a deaf ear "Well, at any rate," muttered the miser, "the god will give me credit for the gold." "Not so, my son," replied the priest, "for the god knew that you intended to give only the silver.'' And thus we get back to the obvious duty of keeping a smiling face and a cheerful countenance, however much we may dislike performing the routine of daily life. Have you ever noticed how much more pleasant a companion the man is who likes to walk on the sunny side of the street. [ keep ladies strictly out of this discussion; I believe they always prefer the shade" for reasons of complexion, so their preference perhaps throws no side-light on their character. Men, however, do not have to worry nbout complexions and I think you will find as a rule that the man who deliberately chooses the shady side of the street, when living in a temperate zone, is by nature less of nn optimist than he who prefers to sun himself on the opposite sidewalk. Optimism is a virtue which has to be cultivated. I think that few Old Countrymen realize what it fully means till they have lived on this Continent, where it is the salt nnd savour of existence. And there is more of it in the sun thnn in the shade. With further reference to the ex- Irnvagance use nf oil on the streets, I not iced lnst Sunday that the road leading from tbe east side of Beacon Hill to the Dallas Road had been the recipient of the too fervid attentions of lhe oil-sprinkler. This is one of lhe most picturesque of all the roadways in that neighbourhood, winding ns it docs under the trees and affording a welcome change from the glare of the open road, and it is a pity to spoil it by turning it into a feeble imitation of the interior of the Island of Trinidad, whieh my geography book used to describe as a swamp of pitch. In making this second reference I would not for the world have it thought that I prefer the dust of the days of old. Oil is bad, but (last is worse. All I crave for is that golden mean which is so desirable but always so hard to get. I have noticed during the present season a growing tendency to refer to the beautiful bay lying between Boss and Shoal bays as though it were named in honour of the wild fowl which may at times be seen in its vicinity. It has been spelt "Fowl" willi irritating persistency in the daily press, in advertisements and in correspondents' letters. There seems lu be u feeling abroad that the proper spelling, "Foul," contains an admission thnt the bay is unpleasant. I can imagine the residents as having banded themselves together, ns did recently the inhabitants of the village of Bugsworth in Derbyshire, to obliterate the name and change it to some other which would not convey any ambiguous impression to the cars of a stranger. I distinctly remember thrashing out this question wilh the lute Captain Wnlbran some yenrs ago and he then gave me the history of the name. I am sorry to say that I have forgotten the exact details, but I do know thnt one of the ships of the British Nnvy found foul anchorage there and that it wns on this account that the name "Foul Bay" was bestowed. If people do not like the name, let them petition to have it changed altogether to something entirely different. Merely to change the spelling is puerile, and betrays a lamentable lack of knowl edge of the early history of the locality. Ai Of course this is quite in line with human nature. We see the same thing constantly in the names of individuals. How else are we to account tor the varied spellings of the good old name of "Smith." Money and position will, in the course of years, substitute a "y," add an "e" or make similar alterations which will transform the name out of sight. I suppose that there is nothing in the world about whicli people are more sensitive than about their names. As a rule the more bizarre llie name, the more sensitive the owner, but for real difficulty commend me to that of "McDonald." I had better be careful and state that I have no particular McDonald in my' mind's eye; I know about a hundred and I think they all spell it differently. Some insist on the "Mac" in full; others are mortally offended if you do not spell it "Mc" and put a capital "D" next. Still a third clan like a small "d." Another bad name is " Johnson.'' Some like a "t" thrown into the middle; others are not content with that, but have a fit if you leave out a final "e." And the worst of it is that such names are all pronounced alike and there is absolutely no clue given to a man with a common-or-garden name who is content to go about labelled instructed to write to the Town Clerk of Pretoria slating Unit unless nn assurance were given that the nine deported British, subjects would be allowed to return to South Africa and tie fend themselves, the Council would not allow its libraries to be used as nn advertising medium for a colony whose Government so flagrantly violated the rights of Brilish citizenship.

At home the grey-beards still count for something nnd are still supposed to be the repository of all worldly wisdom. It is astonishing how few old men are able to keep in touch with the rapid movement of things on this Continent. Nothing is more surprising than to take up a financial paper containing portraits of bank managers, trust company managers and insurance managers and to notice how young many of them are, almost boys. And yet they are at the head of thriving institutions and the institutions do no. seem to thrive the less because of the juvenility of their managers. This is, however, by no means confined to tlie financial world. In every branch of life very young men are "making good." In the keen atmosphere of the West they seem to mature a little earlier thnn nt home and to adjust themselves more readily to the burden of responsibility, which accounts for the fnct that in spite of occasional errors they manage to "make good" and to hold their own. Such a young man came to Victoria little more than three years ago to seek his fortune. He is English, educated and gentlemanly; rather an incongruous combination to fit into the business life of a Canadian city. Still, a few manage it, and he is one. Natural aptitude and a brief apprenticeship in the Old Country led him to the reporters' desk, nnd for nearly two Veal's he has been chasing stories and putting them out in good English; also rather a rare occurrence in the West. Modesty, perseverance nnd brains have in a short time demonstrated him to be something more than "a mere reporter." I thought I recognized his work in certain scholarly, incisive and extremely well-informed editorials which appeared in the local press during the progress of the late Balkan war. There was nothing like them in any other British Columbia paper, nnd I determined to watch the further progress of that young man. With the gathering of the' war cloud whicfi now hangs over Europe I noticed thc same skilled craftsmanship and the same ready and quite unusual acquaintanceship with modern European History. I also noticed the snine capacity to segregate important factors and arrange them sequentially and logically. My young man has got a grasp of the situation nnd a true insight into its meaning. Unless I mistake he will make his mark as an editorial writer of note and weight before the campaign is over. If you want to know more about him, to sample his work and above all to keep in close touch with those movements of the war which really matter, I advise you to rend his articles.

Before the advent of the newspapers, the town crier called the news of the neighborhood. Today the newspaper keeps you in intelligent touch, not only with your own district, but with all the world. It is advertising that makes the newspaper possible. Without it the cost would be beyond most folks. When you think of it, the advertisers pay the greater part of your share of the cost of the paper. They do it for the privilege of telling you about their wares, and most of them have a story worth telling. Read the advertisements consistently. They are interesting and contain money-saving information.

WORK was recommenced during the last week in July on the Burnett, a high-grade silver-gold property nt the head of Six Mile and Lemon Creeks. file property is situated about 18 miles up Six Mile Creek from the West Arm of Kootenay Lake and is being worked by R. Macleod, formerly of Nelson, but now of Seattle, and E. Gillson, of Seattle, who have a staff of men at work. At present work is confined to stripping the ledge and the ore at the surface is being sucked ready for shipping. Assays have been made which run from $100 to $1,000 a ton, and already the ledge has been uncovered for about 300 yards in the process of stripping, which is still being carried on. At two places along the ledge tunnels have been driven in 100 feet, and it has ben found that the ledge runs hack the full distance so far tunneled. On Friday, the 24th nit., a large consignment of supplies was taken out to tlie property by the Nelson Transfer Compnny, and it required ton horses to transport the large shipment from the landing nt Six Mile to the scene of activities. A further consignment of supplies will ba taken out to thc property today, it is expected.

THE PUBLICITY OF MR. PODMORE. (Continued from Page 0) in view of the general eclnt he very wisely snid nothing, and accepted his honours witll a becoming modesty. This was how Publicity began for Mr. Podmore. His plan for surprising his wife was somewhat spoilt by the fact that she had been informed of the event hy a telegram from a friend who (so swift is Rumour) had heard all about it, and considerably more, within half nn liour of the police court proceedings. So Mr. Podmore, arriving, dirty of, waistcoat hut otherwise undamaged, at Bushey, found himself welcomed in the front garden nt Fnirlawn by an emotional wife, nnd what wns almost n popular demonstration. Mrs. Podmore had wnsted no time in spreading the great news. The neighbourhood of Bushey, nnd nf Fnirlawn, in particular, rightly frit that distinction had been conferred upon it. Publicity, in a word, wns growing. It expanded with a tremendous leap next morning, vi'li Iho npiciir- ance of the newspaper reports. So eagerly were they purchased that the shop that supplies Fairlawn and its vicinity wns sold out before eleven o'clock. The peony dailies, with one notable exception, were cold and inclined to reticence; but those published nt n halfpenny had devoted considerable space to the affair. Pictures abounded, "Mr. Podmore shaking hands with the Magistrate" was reproduced extensively, while hardly less popular was one of the same gentleman (marked X) acknowledging the cheers of the crowd outside the Court. The hero had not finished his breakfast before two ev°mns pap(>,.= huii mug mm up with requests for interviews, which, of course, he felt it his duty to grant. Thenceforward the thing grew steadily. A recognisable studio portrait of Mr. Podmore appeared in a weekly journal under the proud heading of "People We Tnke Our Hats Off To." Provincial and local papers copied the affair. Within four days Mr. Podmore's morning correspondence had multiplied itself tenfold. He hnd letters from moneylenders, bookmakers, outside stockbrokers, and distressed widows. No fewer than five persons recollected that they had been at various schools with hiin, and wrote emotionally suggesting smnll temporary loans on the strength of it. Bills that he had never hoped to see again reached him from forgotten tradesmen. A note from a Indies' college requested his autograph. "If this sort of thing goes on," snid Mr. Podmore, more than once, surveying his breakfast table, "I shall have to employ a secretary I'' Of course, however, he didn't mean it. A secretary would have opened, ind possibly destroyed, four-fifths of the letters, and not for worlds would Mr. Podmore have surrendered the thrill of a single envelope. Popularity went to his head like wine. He took several days off from the ollice simply to walk about Bushey and observe how tho inhabitants nudged each other and turned to gaze after him when he had passed. He himself wns nt some pains to cultivate for such encounters the impersonal regard of royalty or of those who open .bazaars. But the heart beneath his white waistcoat still thumped exultantly at any fresh sign of recognition. And then, quite suddenly, the whole thing collapsed. Rumour of an approaching by-election first nssniled Air. Podmore's position; a shipwreck and n divorce completed his rout. Thenceforward he simply vanished from the public eye. The liltle brown envelopes nf the press-cutting agency, once thick ns autumn leaves, dwindled and censed, persons married, and multiplied, and murdered; plnys came out nnd went in; actresses had their pearls stolen; Ihe whole log of publicity rolled forward—but Mr. Podmore wns concerned with it no longer. Perhaps only those who have experienced it can appreciate his sensations who, used to the incense of popular curiosity, finds nil at once liis altar cold and unserved. Mr. Podmore felt dazed. The ordinary attractions of journalism had lost their savour for one who hnd tnsted the keen pungency of searching for his own name in print. None but the lonely heart can know such sorrow. His chief emotion, one of vngnc indignation against a fickle and ungrateful press, did little to uphold him. Thc crisis came one afternoon when Mr. Podmore, meeting a man whom he had not seen for a month, was saluted by him with lhe words, "And what have you been doing with yourself, lately?" Mr. Podmore started, turned slightly pale, and then, murmuring "Nothing much!" made an excuse to .leave the fellow, and hur ried away. He needed to be alone. But reflection pursued him. It hnd come, then, to this, that he, Podmore, the Podmore of the paragraphs, and pictures, and interviews, could be asked by a casual acquaintance what he had been doing with himself lately! How ean words deal with such a situation 1 He began to brood; and naturally, the more he brooded the more srriov anees did he nntoli. Wliat was there left in life now that this sustaining excitement had been withdrawn? It stretched before him, stale, flat, unprofitable. Publicity of any kind, hnd become essential to his existence. By some means or other he must get back into the papers. But how? By an odd freak of chance (if, indeed, we can call—but I forbear to repent my reflections on this topic!) these cogitations passed through Mr. Podmore's brain nt a moment when he found himself once again threading the same route that had produced for him his grent adventure. The evening, however, wns inclement, and comparatively few persons were about. Still, as he approached the pickles qorner, theire wns the aged nowsvendor ns before. She sat dozing over her wares, the familiar leather wallet of pennies in her lap. Mr. Podmore noticed that once again the fastening had become untied. History for the old news- paper womnn had been written in vain. It would, he reflected, hc the easiest thing in the world for any feloniously minded individual to snatch it, nnd run. And run! And nfter him would come others running, crowds, nnd policemen, magistrates, pressmen, and photographers. Publicity. . . . Even in llie instant that these reflections jostled themselves nbout his overcharged brain, something happened that caused the eyes of Mr. Podmore to protrude fish-like from their inadequate sockels. They hnd been turned idly upon the figure of the aged newsvendor, when suddenly another figure, that of a man of apparent respectability, approached her at a rapid pace, stooped, and with n quick moment put his hand down lo Iho newsvendor's bug. If. lhe ground had opened beneath his feet, Mr. Podmore might perhaps linve been more astonished, he would certainly have been considerably less pleased. An apparent intervention of providence had happened. It was his Second Chnnce. Fortunately, this lime it did not find him unprepared. Without nn instant hesitation, he dashed nfter the culprit and tackled him in a manner thnt would not hnve discredited a three-quarters with n professional income of four figures. For u private and elderly gentleman it was a performance fuil of praise for the Anglo-Saxon tradition. "Police!" vociferated Mr. Podmore; adding in nn undertone to his victim, "Don't think to throw mo off!" Not that llie victim appeared to hnve any such idea; but thnt it seemed a right-sounding thing to say. Immediately there began to happen almost exactly what Mr. Podmore had anticipated. The footsteps, the shouls, the excited crowds, all followed ns per invoice. The only difference wns thnt the person whom Mr. Podmore had so dramatically arrested turned out to be the magistrate himself, who, so fnr from stealing, hnd merely bestowed a penny in charity upon the old womnn. This, of course, caused some considerable change in the sequel, and, eventually, a law suit, that wns only settled up by the payment of a lnrge sum of money by Mr. Podmore.
