The Marquis of Waterford once showed remarkable detective skill. A robber who bad broken into the marquis’ house at Curraghmore, Ireland, was pursued by him and followed to a public house four miles off. There the robber had seated hiirisebf among a number of men, who were drinking and smoking, and not one of them would betray him. The marquis, however, was master of the situation. He insisted upon feeling all their hearts, and as he was their landlord and the great man of the county not one dared to refuse. The man whose heart was still beating quickly was the robber who had just ceased running.
