SOMEONE SHORT A $50 BILL.
Boy Bought a Football and Did Not
Get His Change

E i
Newsdealer e. J. Donahue has a
twenty dollar bill which he became
owner Of in an odd way. Saturday
afternoon a boy about 10 years of age
Went into his store to purchase a Rug
by football He found one that suited
his fancy and when the newsdealer
did it up for him he gave him twenty
dollar bill. Now, the ex-constable
has an eagle eye and sharp intellect,
and whenever any children hand in a
bill of such denomination he be-
comes rather suspicious. He has
learned from experience how to act in
such cases. He took the twenty dol
lar bill and told the boy to send his
mother around to get the change. The
boy went out one door and the news
dealer went after him to watch him.
The boy went around the building
and into the rear door and through the
store, and the ex-constabIe was after
him. The boy saw him and went fly
ing down Bank street and into South
leonard street, and the doughty ex-
bailiff, after donning his coat and hat,
continued the chase, but the boy got
away. The constable has the twenty
dollar bill yet and his conscience is
worrying him lest he has in his pos
session some stolen money.

preached as closely as it could with
safety, the boat bobbing up and down
like q top. Suddenly the tide swept
it against a rock which tore big
hole in the side and it began to fill
and settle. All attempts to save the
boat were given up and every effort
was directed to rescuing the family. Of
Captain Bentley, who sought safety
in the little cabin on the upper deck,
where they locked themselves in.
Line after line was thrown to them,
but Captain Bentley could not catch
them. Finally, with the aid of a
live-saying gun, a line was shot across
the roof Of the cabin within reach OF
Bentley, who tied the end to the
matches. Quickly improyising a pull
ley and a breeches buoy out Of an old
salt bag, Bentley gave the signal to
the tuel which pulled one member of
the family over after the other. Chill
dren were first, then the mother, and
last of all Bentley. AS the line was
cut the canal boat went down.
