OF the peace than Policeman Flynn, who
daily waits upon the hungry and thirsty
prisoners who breakfast at police court.
Original, cOnvivial and kiud-hcarted is
the big, fat son of the Emerald Isle, who
has often stretched forth Il hand to help
some poor unfortunate man or woman.
Flynn is a decided favorite with the reg
ulars. =" and among the fair sex reigns su-
prcme. He is as comical as he is popular
and often creates considerable amusement
| for the benefit OF his brother Officers and
| those employed about the old court house.
| AS he was passing the coffee and sand
| wiches around the cells he came across u
new face. 1t was that of a young man. A
| face which showed that Its O wner had 'seen
better days" Notwithstanding the fact
that his general appearance was against
| him.
| "Yez a stranger here, amt YEP" asked
| Flynn, as he picked out a good-sized link
| OF sausage and placed 1t between two big
| slices OF bread forthe one whomhe addressed.
Fright you are" old pard,'' responded
| the newcomer in u hoarse tone of voice. Me
and me pal got In de bloomin' town yester-
day, an while sleeps in a cell last night me

| he had hit upon a bright thought, why

$50 did. pard. so I did," returned the
unfortunate, IAN. as luck would have 1t,
he told me dat he had just deposited every
| cent he had Aud just den a copper comes

Flynn was outdone and he did not hcsi-
tate to admit it. He passed on to the next
| cell and to the next until his morning
work was completed.
