THE HIRERNIANls REroRT.

Operator Frank Kane, of the Police
Department, and State Detective Wal
ter Witsil, were standing out in front
Of the City Hall, with the Wayfarer in
close touch with them.
Up the street came a good old son OF
Erin. He was plainly dressed, but his
ample feet were enCased in a pair OF
new russet shoes.
The legs OF his trousers did not reach
the tops Of these russets by several
Inches, and the old fellow looked just
what he was-a cOuntryman from the
country.
Kane hailed him, thinking to encom-
pass his confusion.
"Hey, Pat" he exclaimed. 1T mus
! have been raining hard In Spain wher
you left there"
The lrishman stopped, looked square
! ly into the goOd-natured face of th'
operator, and replied.

Then he passed On and left Kane ant
Witsil to figure it cut between them.
