O’Brien. “And I’ll send in a hook for
a dozen of the boys and a patrol. It’s
a gang that’s got tipped off the serv-
ants are away and have come around
to clean out the place.”
He backed towrards the stone wall
with the intention of putting this plan
into effect, when again he was stayed,
this time by two men leaping over the
stone wall only a few yards from
where he was concealed.
These men, after crouching for f
minute in the shadow of a hedge,
hugged a low cross-hedge to a position
opposite the rear wall of the house,
from where they stole across the nar-
row strip of lawn and disappeared
through the door that had been forced
only a few minutes before.
“Would you notice it!” murn*ured
O’Brien. “I’ll just lay by a hit and
wait till they fetch the piano wagon.”
He now removed his helmet and
laughed softly into it. “It’s the hoys
playing a trick on me, that’s what it
is! But the devil a hit will I notice
it! I’ll get back on my beat anu let
’em fool Finigan with their kiddin"!”
He spring over the wall to the road.
“Mike will be waiting for me at the
box. ’Twill be the laugh on him and
a warm bed for Jack O’Brien.”
Shaking a few leaves and twigs
from his cape he started down the
road at his accustomed pace. The
sound of laughter now came from the
Hill mansion, and peering over the
stone wall through an opening in the
hedge he saw two more shadows steal
across the lawn and disappear through
the open door at the rear of the
house.
O’Brien wiped a broad grin from his
face. “The boys will know me better
after this night,” he said. “But I’m
right sorry for Finigan! He’d better
pull a drunk goat than nab that bunch
of plumbers.”
At the patrol box O’Brien was soon
joined by Mike Finigan and relieved
i of duty by the latter.
1 “Anything doing?” queried Finigan,
| who was a green hand like the other
man, and as eager to make a record
and get promoted in town.
‘“You might pull the moon,
full,” grinned O’Brien. “ ’Tis
night you’ll have, Mike, and
outside than inside, I’m thinking.
Finigan winked, licked his lips, and
with a grin turned to patrol his beat,
while O’Brien moved off toward the
station. Here he caught the last elec-
tric and soon was relieved of all du-
ties by Capt. Sleep.
At his ten o’clock breakfast the
next day O’Brien opened the morning
paper, smiled to think that the joke
might be out on Finigan, when he all
but fell from his chair as his vision
was confronted with the headlines:
MIKE FINIGAN A HERO.
WAS A CASE OF EMERGENCY
Here, if Ever, Was a Time When
Telegraphic Limitations Were
to Be Deplored.
Wilbur Wright was discussing in
Dayton a very imaginative magazine
story about aeroplanes.
“The story,” he said, “was full of
errors. Aeroplanes can’t do what this
chap claims. He doesn’t understand
them.
“In fact, he’s like old George Ket-
tle of Trotwood. George rushed into
the Trotwood telegraph office the other
day with a small package wrapped in
a newspaper under his arm.
“ ‘Telegraph this to my wife down
to Dayton, Harvey,’ he said to the
telegraph clerk, thrusting the package
through the little window.
‘“No, no, George; we can’t do any-
thing like that,’ laughed the clerk.
“ ‘Drat ye,’ said George, angrily, ‘ye
got to do it. It’s my wife’s teeth.’ ”
SKIN HUMOR 25 YEARS
“Cuticura did wonders for me. For
twenty-five years I suffered agony
from a terrible humor, completely cov-
ering my head, neck and shoulcfi s, so
even to my wife, I became an object
of dread. At large expense I consult-
ed the most able doctors far and near.
Their treatment was of no avail, nor
was that of the - Hospital, during
six months’ efforts. I suffered on
and concluded there was no help for
me this side of the grave. Then 1
heard of some one who had been cured,
by Cuticura Remedies and thought
that a trial could do no harm. In a
surprisingly short time I was com-
pletely cured. S. P. Keyes, 147 Con-
gress St., Boston, Mass., Oct. 12, 09.
Face Covered with Pimples
“I congratulate Cuticura upon my
speedy recovery from pimples which
covered my face. I used Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent for ten days
and my face cleared and I am perfect-
ly well. I had tried doctors for sev-
eral month but got no results. Wm. J.
Sadlier, 1614 Susquehanna Ave., Phila-
delphia, May 1, 1909.”

Told in the Doctor’s.
Dr. Arthur T. Holbrook is credited
with the following:
A man by the name of Evans died
and went to heaven. When he ar-
rived at the pearly gates he said to
St. Peter:
“Well, I’m here.”
St. Peter asked his name. “John
Evans,” was the reply.
St. Peter looked through the book
and shook his head.
“You don’t belong here,” he said.
“But I am sure I belong here,” said
the man.
“Wait a minute,” said Peter. He
looked again, and in a back part of
the book found a name.
“Sure,” said the guardian of the
gate, “you belong here, but you
weren’t expected for 20 years. Who s
your doctor?”—American Druggist.
Friendly Birds.
Most of the birds and mammals have
the fear of man in their hearts, and
are difficult to approach, but others
show ro great concern. The Alaskan
jays, for instance, are devoted camp
followers. “They proved useful as
scavengers,” says Mr. Osgood, “and
cooked oatmeal seemed to attract
them even more than raw meat. They
any time hopping about the campfire,
or perched on the tent poles and
ropes. Their harsjh chattering was
not always pleasant, hut was some-
what atoned for by their less fre-
quent soft whistle and their pert and
confident ways, so on the whole their
presence was welcomed.”
When the Sleeper Wakes.
“John!” she exclaimed, jabbing her
elbow into his ribs at 2:17 a. m., “did
you look at the kitchen door?” And
John, who is inner guard, and was
just then dreaming over last evening’s
lodge meeting, sprang up in bed, made
the proper sign, and responded,
“Worthy ruler, our portals are guard-
ed.” Oh, he hit the title right, even
if he was asleep.—United Presby-
terian.
AT FIRST SIGHT.
He—Rosalie, I can’t tell you how I
■worship your almond eyes, your vel-
vet cheeks, like peaches, and your
cherry lips!
Rosalie—I suppose you are the new
gardener.
An Artistic Rebuke.
A well-known clergyman was trav-
eling in a non-smoking compartment
of a train going north. As soon as
the train was well on its way, the only
other occupant, without asking per-
mission of his fellow traveler, coolly
lit a cigarette. The reverend gen-
tleman was relieved, as he wanted to
smoke himself, but had been afraid
lest his companion might object. But
the opportunity was too good to be
lost. Drawing out his pipe he leaned
forward, and, with an ingratiating
smile, blandly inquired: “Would you
object if I were to smoke?’
Compliments should be thoroughly
Fletcherized before they are swal-
lowed.

The little old English flower wom-

brought her flowers to the table. A
strange guest of the wine merchant’s
bought a bunch of them for the two
women who dined there.
“Did you see what she made him
pay for those flowers?” whispered
one of them to the other. “Fifty
cents!”
“I’m glad of it,” the other whispered
back. “I’ve been living in this neigh-
borhood for three years and it’s the
first time I ever saw anybody buy a
single bunch of those flowers of hers.”

The double column that followed
was a detailed glorification of Michael
Denis Finigan and his great coup.
According to the paper, a few min-
utes after Finigan had gone e*i his
beat the previous night, having re-
lieved Officer Jack O’Brien, he had
made the discovery that the rear door
of the Hill mansion was open, and
noiselessly entering the building had
surprised ten housebreakers, collected
in the dining room about a basket of
wine.
Covering the men with his revolver
and pressing the electric busglar
alarm, he had held the entire party at
bay till relief arrived, when the ten
men were handcuffed and taken to the
station. Only one shot had been fired,
which Finigan had been forced to ex-
pend on the legs of one of the house-
breakers, who had objected to his
capture.
The paper went on to state that a
grimly amusing fact had subsequently
come to light. The housebreakers had
effected their entrance to the Hill
mansion in parties of two, without the
slightest suspicion that they had been
preceded or were to he followed by
others on a like mission.
Imagine their astonishment—wrote
the reporter—whra each pair found
that the same night had been chosen
by four other couples bent on a like
robbery, and their still greater em-
prise when officer Finigan had £eld
them up in a body.
Finigan, the paper went on to state,
had already been recommended for
promotion, which he so richly merited.
When O’Brien had finished this re-
port, his appetite for breakfast was
quite gone. From his place of con
cealment under the hedge he had wit-
nessed the icipience of the whole busi-
ness, and had he taken ste#s to arrest
the men his name would now stand
bracketed with glory instead of the
name of Michael Denis Finigan.
“But who the devil would have
thought that ten jimmies would hit
on the same night to break into a
house!” growled O’Brien, sore as a
mashed thumb.
