An Amusing Story 81 Sir Charles Beres-
ford and . Crossing Sweeper.
Eugene Fields Letter In Chicago News
An amusing story Is told in club circles
OF Lord Charles Beresford and Mr.. Gerald
Coke, two Of the most conspicuous swslls
about town. They were walking in Picca.
dilly one afternoon when . dirty little
crossing-sweep importuned them for
tu'pence.
mo, III not give you penny" said Sir
Charles, grufiiy; but then. Is II . bright
idea occurr ed to him, he added: "bnt III
tell you what will do. You see that con-
stable yonder7 Well. If you'll run across
the street and mop your broom up and
down his back I'll give you half-a-crown. !"
"I'll do it, sir" said the boy, and away
he started.
OF course the policeman very properly re-
scented the shocking insult Of having small
boy mop . muddy broom up and down his
constabulary uniform. He laid hands upon
that small boy and proceeded to drag him
to the station. His conscience pricking
him. Sir Charles stepped across the street
and demonstrated with the officer, but, so
far from tolerating calm, dispassionate ar
gument, the officer took Sir Charles into
custody. too, upon the grounds that he
sought to interfere with constable in the
performance of duty. About this time Mr..
Gerald Coke came up and protested against
the arrest Of his friend.
AHA auoth the officer, $50 you want
to interfere, do you'll Well, / fancy I'll
have to run you In, too
II don't mind" said Mr.. Coke, indiffsr-
entity.
So the procession moved TO the police
station. The inspector in charge gaxed at
the three culprits austereiy: he was .
shrewd and august man-he had dealt with
crime In all its phases all his life.
$50 you've been interfering with the con-
stable. eh ?" said he. solemnly. "A serious
charge-a most serious charge. Now tell
me, sir, what's your manner"
mr. Gerald COKE. answered the gentle
man addressed.
Now. even this august and solumn in
spector had 3 certain sense OF humor, and
the thong ht that any man charged With in
tersering with constable should masquer-
ade as the swell Mr.. Coke struck the august
and solemn inspector as joke, rare and
mighty joke.
"Oh. you're Mr.. Gerald Coke, are you %
said he. scientifically. "Yes. you look like
Mr. Gerald Coke: very good-capital-ha,
ha! And who are you, sir 7''
"Sir Charles Beresford," said the gentle
man.
This. TO the thinking of the august and
solemn inspector, simply deepened, rami-
fed. and complicated the Joke.
$50 you're Sir Charles Beresford, eh %
he chuckled. grimly. "Sir Charles Beresford,
ehg Well. this is spiendid-you look like
Sir Charles. you do; splendid. splendid
And no~ tell me. my boy" said the inspec-
tor. turning TO the small boy, what's
your name1"
The ragged little urchin was in . serious
euandary. He looked AZ Sir Charles and
Mr.. Coke.
"Look-a-here," said he. II don't know
who veg are or watts yer game. but - II
I'm goin' back on pail" Then, turning
boldly 10 the inspector. he said, in . tone
full of heroic confidence: I'm der Dock
of Wellington"
