both nearly beating out Easter to the

two left the car at the corner OF Math-

text that he thought IL had been LETT In

As soon as the detective had the pack
age in his hands he knew by It's weight
that the time had come for springing the
trap. Disclosing his identity he placed
Weatherhead under arrest.
The package proved TO be a box, IN
which was $50 worth OF pure silver. III
weighed l7s ounces.
The prisoner was taken to headquar-

He began trading with the Hebrew by
selling him an old silver bracelet that had
belonged TO his wife.
This was -iH-Aprff,- and having paved

company's works.
The transgressor is Charles Weather-
head. ssho had for eight years been In the

marked ability had worked his way up TO

Quoted an inquiry until they had nxed
upon Weatherheads department as the
place where the leak was.
They were unable, however, TO pick out
the thief and called In Capt Parker.
From that hour the detective bureau
ehadowed several employees. The thefts
continued, but they were so cunningly
carried on that the culprit could not be
selected. and rather than make a blunder
and scare of their man the detectives
bided their time.
One by one the suspected persons were
eliminated until there remained just one
and that was Weatherhead.

The law provides that an application
for transfer shall be presented TO and
acted upon by the board OF license com
missioners OF the city or town where the
original license Is granted. That until
the transfer is made n fact the holder OF
the license shall remain In possession
until the application has been acted upon.
That every licensee shall place upon the
wall OF his saloon, and in a conspicuous
place. the license granted to him for that
shop.
The custom had obtained OF signing
the transfers In blank at the beginning
OF the year.
The wholesaler put In a customer, and
II the latter didn't come to time with
his money or keep up the saloon trade
as he should he would be summarily
sold out, and the transfer would then
be bought In, properly filled out with the
name of the new man, and the first pur-
chaser would be out in the cold.
Under this loose method of doing busi-
ness a man would be selling liquor con-
trary to law.
In some instances the regularly granted
licenses were removed from the wall
and carried away. In others the holders
OF the transfer went about town with
those official documents In their pockets.
