The special information that we sought of nur burglar friend had reference to the secret signs by which members of the profession are able to hold communication with one another without attracting the notice of other persons who may happen to he present. He remarked that in the various gangs, or "mobs," ibat he had led, it was the rule not to meet in taverns or other public places, but always to assemble in a private house, so that there was no great need for secret signs of communica 641tion. All the same, it was sometimes neces- sary to use them when engaged in professional 641 business, especially in the very interesting pur

A."mobsman "working with a pal" will be quietly playing with one of his own coat but- tons, but a very observant person might notice that he suddenly doubles his index finger. This is a code signal, and it means "Be cautious, I'm doubtful about that man," His pal," who is standing perhaps with one thumb in his side pocket, quietly doubles the ring finger, and so telegraphs back

No one notices that his little finger is doubled in the palm of his hand, except an innocent-looking youth, who at once goes our at the door. That doubled finger signified "Go out and follow that man." The benevolent old gentleman, whose face literally beams with dudliness, now quietly crosses his right leg over the left, with the foot point- ing towards a West Country farmer, whe has evidently come up to town for the cattle show, Let that farmer beware, for the leader of the smartest" meh in London has sigrilled to his assistants "That man is
