Le rêve du détective

Padlock Soames, the famous detective, worried by his non-success in the capture of Slippery, the notorious thief, falls asleep and dreams that a defiant challenge by the criminal to catch him meets his eye in the columns of a newspaper. In his dream the detective believes himself to be possessed of a magic mirror on the surface of which is reflected every action of the thief; that he accepts the challenge with equanimity, and that by means of this valuable glass he is enabled to baffle Slipper in every ruse which he adopts. Physically, however, Padlock finds he is not a match for the agile thief, and although he engages in several struggles with him, one of which takes place on the surface of a broad sheet of water, he is in every case disgusted to find himself suddenly grasping nothing more material than air, or some portion of clothing left in his hands by the wily thief. Exasperated, he loses his calmness, allows an angry ejaculation to break from his lips, and awakens with a start to find out the whole affair is a dream.
