Detective Hartly, prowliug through
the East end in search of such thieves
and transgressors as he might with
dignity escort TO the "lock-up," was
turning corner. when he suddenly be-
came aware that on the opposite side
of the street familiar and not exact
ly pleasing figure was ambling along at
rapid rate, with something peculiar
in the bulgy appearance of his coat.
There's that Crooked Jem again"
said the detective, to himself He cast
a suspicious eye at Jem's pockets, pulled
at his eycbrow-which was a way he
had-and then beckoned to a policeman
to follow him.
When he was within an inch or two
OF the said pockets he suddenly clapped
the uususpecting Jem on the shoul-
der-so suddenly that Jem's jaw fell,
and he made an abrupt. half undecided
of the law.
"Now, then" said Hartly, severely,
"uone Of that. On with the handouts.

Jem looked from one to the other in
something like dismay.

and ungrammatical remark. and then
they marched on to the police station.
There, inside the bare room with its
wooden benches and square desks, with
the dingy green ledgers and musty pa
pers, Detective Hartly proceeded to turn
out the unhappy Jem's pockets. As he
did so his eyes first opened in astonish
