GIRL’S BRAVE CAPTURE.

A story of a girl’s bravery was told in the Glasgow Police Court when a man was charged with theft by means of housebreaking. It appears, from the story related in court by the police, that Miss Maggie Kiuloch, a telephone operator, upon returning to her homo in ■Waddell street, Glasgow, discovered a man rifling a chest of drawers in one of the bedrooms. The man fled down the stairs into the kitchen, with the girl hot on his heels. In the kitchen she compelled him to relinquish his plunder. The girl, who was quite alone, attempted to leave the house in order to call the police, but received a 'violent blow in the face as she opened the door, the man [thereupon making his escape. Nothing daunted, Miss Kiuloch immediately gave chase, running for nearly a quarter of a mile, when the man disappeared up an alley, where Miss Kiuloch was advised that Tit would be extremely dangerous to follow him. By this time a crowd had collected, but none of the spectators offered the slightest assistance. The girl remained at the entrance to the alloy until the man | reappeared, whereupon she immediately seized him, and held him until the police arrived.
