Policeman Weeks, Of the Mercer-st. station was

dav afternoon about 4 O'Clock, when he was APP
preached by a well-dressed man, who had wild
look in his eyes. He cautioned the policeman by
a gesture not to make a noise Then he stroked
the poceman's chin and asked: Don't you feel
the wind?'
Policeman Weeks assured the man that he did
not feel the wind. He thought that 1t was very
mild just at that time. The reply somewhat dis
concerted the man. who. however, remained by the
policemans side. and asked "Ain't you one OF
those Invisible policemen"
The policeman replied that he was not.
We'll you see." said the man. I'm followed by
a lot of invisible policemen. They have long
whiskers and they so around in gas bags When
I look at one of them he pokes his head into the
bag and becomes Invisible Can you recommend

his body. Mangin jumped to his feet. however,
and caught the runaway before 1t reached West-st.
