"IV> you ever nin norms criminals
who are masquerading ax Rent ieme.'i T"
1 asked m.v friend Stigers, nil old and
oJiiertwirml detective.
"We run across criminals of all
grades Th? common Jailbird. of
o>urse. hasn't the education and re
finement to mingle with gentlemen and
ladies, but thorp are refined criminal*,
you know. Then there are valets and
Indies' maids of Rood personal appear
ance who have the faculty of copying
their masters and mistresses, who take
advantage of this ability for the pur
pose of victimising persons. I had one
case wherein a common thief played
the part of a Rcntleman. but he had
Itecn born n gentleman."
"Tell me about him. I am always In
forested In these cases of criminals
passing under frlse colors."
"In the autumn of 18i)? I was sent
to the residence of a Mr. Bradford."
said StiRcra. "that had been burglar
Ixed by one of thoae romantic fellow^
who leave notes on the dressing cases
from which they have taken the Jewel*
and otherwise Indicate that they have
been reading stories of the highway
men of a couple of centuries ago. The
roblier hail not ouly written a note, but
bad written It In rime and very
cleverly, signing his effusion with the
name of Handy Andy.
"What 1 was seut to the bouse for
was to see if the fellow had left any
clew. I found nothing but the Jingle
be had written, aud since I had no
other specimen of his hnndwrltlng tt
was valueless. But I preserved It, of
course, trusting that t lie time might
come when it would furnish a clew. It
was not lone berore i p?u nuoiuei
specimen. for another house In the
same neighborhood as the first wa* eu
tercd anil another poetical effusion left
on a sideboard on ?blth the burglnr
had eaten a buffet supper, washed
down with a glass of wine.
"Handy Andy went through a nura
ber of houses, most of them In the
same locality, usually leaving his com
pliuients to the persons he robbed
His handwriting and grammar Indi
cated that he had been educated, and
the manner in which he expressed
himself smacked of the gentleman.
One of his notes- In rime? was inclos
ed in quotation marks. I showed It
to a number of persons with a view
to finding out who was the nulhor. 1
was advised to hunt for it In a diction
ary of quotations. I got no srtlsfac
tlon till 1 referred It to a professor of
English literature In the univer
sity. who showed me the lines In a
j>oem of Alexander Pope. This led
me to believe that Handy Andy was a
scholar who had become run down
and. I>elng familiar with the deeds of
Jack Sheppard nnd similar characters
famous Iti English history, had taken
to Imitating them.
"One of the escapades of the rascal
was to attend a social function given
at the time. After the guests had de
parted one of the young ladles of the
family found on a pincushion In her
room a card from Handy Andy, on
which he had written:
"Thanks for your enjovnhln entertain
ment. I found the supper delicious, the
nine excellent and enjoyed chats with
three different guests very much, espe
cially Bishop' B.
"The lady's Jewels were gone. Bish
op H. had been one of the guests. He
was asked to recall those he had talk
ed with during the evening, bnt had
spoken with so many that no Informa
tion of value was elicited from him.
"These crooks who work In a certain
locality don't keep it up very long,
and I was anxious to nab this one be
fore he left the field About ten days
after his chat with the bishop cards
were sent out for a fashionable wed
ding. It occurred to me that Handy
Andy's success In attending one func
tion might lead to his going to anoth
er. and it was quite posalble he wonld
drop In at the wedding with a view to
helping himself to some of the Rifts.
I concluded to go myself.
"The wedding took place In a church
at 8 o'clock In the evening, nnd the
piests were Invited to the house at
n 1 chose half past 0 for my appear
ance. when the guests had all assem
bled and before they had begun to
depart. I found a throng, as 1 had ex
isted. and the wedding presents laid
out oti a table In a room crowded with
guests examining them. It occurred to
me that there was a flue opportunity
for any light fingered person to purloin
?ome of the smaller gifts, which were
at the same time the most valuable. If
Handy Andy was not there he was
very neglectful of his Interests. I spent
some time In the room, watching every
one within range of my eyes, but saw
nothing to excltt the least suspicion.
"Proceeding to a room at one end of
whl? h the bride and groom were te
'??Ivlng their guests. I stood examining
'I .- physiognomies of different persons
.Kissing me Two men stood near me
chatting One was a light haired man
of about thirty, with glasses and a
slight Irish brogue. The other was a
tall, spare man with mutton chop
whiskers.
"'I've often been In Ixitidon.' said
the latter, 'hut have never got out to
Oxford I've always been abroad Id
the ramnw, *n.1 that's the vacation
season. you know.'
"'I remain there usually In atlmmer,'
??ld the other The ne*t time yon
?ome over run out mid see me. I'll be
very glad to show you the college*.'
"'Thanks It would be Interesting
to l>e shown through them by one of
the dons '
"I had listened to a few minutes of
conversation between them, when two
lad l<-w cnme along and atopiied before
thetn, one of the ladles Introducing the
>ther to the CUford |irnfesaor, the spare
man Imwlng himself rway I remained
to listen to what the professor had to
say. and I confess his conversation was
charming, lie had Just run over tu
hnve a look at America and had found
It so Interesting that he had overstayed
his leave He should be lecturing at
his college Instead of attending social
function* beyond the Atlantic. Ite was
booked to sail the next day.
"What t was thnt connected the pro
feasor In iny mind with n txirvtar I
can't Imagine. Trifles do at times turn
our thoughts, and I lin*e fancied since
that It might have U?en I la ml) Andy's

ertheloss the connection once made
took root Immediately True. It was
verj remote, and I had no Idea that
there miis anything In It. hut I con
tlnued to k<i-p the professor within
i touch.
"One thing about him that caught
my professional eye waa that he seem
ed to tie uneasy and did not appear
: Inclined to linger long with any one
person or persona lie was helped In
this by Itelng favored with a number
of Introductions After a brief con
vendition which all strove to turn upon
his university be would make dome ex
cuse to pnss on Kliially. taking oat a
handsome gold watch and glancing at
the time, he said he muat lie going.
"I followed him upstairs and Into
