STORY OF A SNEEzE!

Ten Thousand Dollars. i

Only intensified the Final Report,
and the Thieves He Had shad-
owed Escaped Quietly.

The Atlanta Constitution says that
while the detectives were sitting
around the Office waiting for the SER
geant to issue assignments and make
details, one OF the men, an old sleuth
whose hair has grown white shadowing
criminals, suddenly gave a loud sneeze
that made the incandescent lights vi
brate.
"Great stars!" exclaimed one of the
younger brood, you are the most vo-
ciferous sneezer l ever heard"
"Yes, and let me tell you something.
boys" replied the old detective; that
sneeze of mine once cost me $4,000"
The expressions of incredulity upon
the faces of his hearers caused the cid
detective to tell the story of the costly
sneeze.
Maybe some of you remember" he
said, about the police in Atlanta being
notified back in the SOS of two bank
robbers heading this way. They had
robbed bank in the east, and the re-
port was they wore coming to Atlanta
to meet and divide the spoils, having
separated after the robbery TO avoid
suspicion. L was detailed to work on
the case, and it wasn't many days be-
fore l had spotted suspicious stran-
ger stopping at a boarding house in the
city. 1 kept 4 close watch on him. and
few days later another suspicious
character turned up and went to the
same house to board. 1 knew the men
were only suspected, and that to secure
evidence upon which to convict them I
would have to see them together when
they divided the money, or hear them
discuss their plans when they thought
themselves unnoticed."
The sstory was getting interesting,
