Plans for the raid were carefully made. Mr. Arrow was to approach the club with a couple of assistants, manoeuvre for an en- trance, and thus pave the way for a force of constables who were to be in hiding. The detective expected a long wait, but the unexpected hap- pened. Just as the three officers were approaching the club the doors | were suddenly thrown open and an |' undesirable member was. bundled out by the burly propriefér. Seizing this excallent opportunity Mr. Arrow: dashed inside. three were detectives, the proprietor slammed the door, and the inspector and his companions found themsel- ve: trapped in a room with a hun- dred or so of Scotland Yard at his back. He ) seized the cards, the bank, and other evidences of gambling, and coolly informed the men that they were his prisoners. It was not until the in- mates saw the constables pouring into the club by means of a ladder that they realized how thoroughly '| they had been outwitted by the in- trepidity of one man It was chance, pure that was the means of turning In spector Arrow's thoughts in the rection of detective work. and simple the act day, a one his dufies into the of performing thieves broke | schoolhouse and decamped with some clothing.
