AN UNGALLANT MAN.

ARRESTED BY' GIRLS.

A sharp lesson has been taught by tw-o Milanese girls to an impudent man who attempted to speak to them, though a perfect stranger, without a preliminary introduction.

* No sooner had they observed the insult than they turned on the man •angrily. Taken thus by surprise the fellow' fled along the street, but was swiftly pursued by the two girls. Being hard pressed to escape he dashed into a railway station, but he was too'late The girls were on his heels, and shortlj' had him in their custody. .They then bound his hands behind his back with the leather straps of their skates, and hauled their prisoner to the nearest police station. All the way they were ‘ followed by an admiring crowd, who cheered the “lady police” loudly. At the station the police were profuse with their compliments. The man was kept in custody. It is interesting to note that the girls aie described as having been brought up on “English principles.” BITS FROM THE NEAV BOOKS.
