10 the different wherves expecting to
catch n glimpse of them there. He
was alone when he saw two men tally

pattern. Detective Childress took them
for his men at glance, and be at once

to arrest them both at once 1t was
some time before he could get UP the

meantime the two men had bought
their sandwiches and had gone back on
the boat, upon which they had secured
passage. While waiting for some one
to come from the police station, De-
tective Chidress asked several of the
men at the wharf to assist him II tho
men should attempt to get away.

but finally consented. The detective

OF them. the largest OF the two started
on dead run TO escare. Detective
Childress started after him. but when
he came to the fence separating the
dock from the private property adjoin-
Ing he was compelled to stop. but his
man went on over like an experienced
hurdle racer. The jump was one of
the prettiesi ever seen by the detective.
The fence was over six feet high and

fleeing man. but his bullet missed the

There is one soldier in the Philip pines who evidently enjoys fighting. Last July William c. Bryan of com pany D. First Tennessee regiment, then in San Francisco, was granted 2 discharge on his own application, and nothing more was heard' Of him until 2 short time agc. when a letter was received from him at the war depart ment, sent from the Philippines, in which Bryan sent back his discharge papers, and asked permission to re- main in 5ae service and with his regi- ment until the fighting was over It appears that he was sent to Manila be- fore his discharge reached him, and then he determined to remain in the service. This illustrates rather . slew method in which mails get through military channels, unless ex- pedi5ed. Bryan, no doubt, thought that his application for discharge had been refused. and went along with hi regiment, and the papers did not catch up with him for some time Washington Star
