kept the chief busy. The town was
full of strangers. All the voters from
the surrounding townships came in to
vote, and, incidentally, to dissipate.
Among the more obstreperous were half
a dozen big farmers who had come
down from the mountains, so they said,
and had come down with the aVoWed
purpose of filling up on apple whisky.
One of them finally became night
ing drunk. The chief himself tapped
him on the arm and informed him that
he was under arrest. The mans com
panions discovered his plight and start
ed in to rescue him. Then there was
a general mixup and the police depart
ment of Monroe distinguished itself. 1t

them into a spring wagon, pressed into

The Jail at Monroe was small, ana
the cells were so arranged that every
prisoner in the place could see and con-
verse with every other prisoner, II de-
sirable. When the six farmers were
lodged in the cells assigned to them,
Shifty Shift, who had been busy read
ing a New York newspaper, looked up
laziIy and inspected. Then he shifted
one leg over the other, and went on
reading. The town officers retired ana
the outer door was locked. Immediate
ly there was some improvement visible
in the condition of the farmers. Shifty
grinned for several minutes.

Shifty and his gang had been lodged
in Jail pursuant to complaints properly
signed and under the sanction of the
law. Whether they We're innocent OF
guilty of the charge under which they
were incarcerated had nothing to dc
with the case.
And on the trial of Shifty and his
gang for this offense, the jury refused
absolutely to retire to consider its
verdict. The foreman simply rose. and
without consulting his fellows, nodded
to the clerk.

personal security.
The gang followed suit with Shifty.
For all had turned and looked. What

drunkards of the evening, each with a
bulldog revolver in his hand. And
the foremost of them was a big, mus

AN ERROR In TRANSLATION
BY L. b. GILBERT.

He had first helped her when she was
changing trains at st. Paul and in i'm
minent danger of taking the wrong che.
Then. he had very calmly and decis-
lively taken charge of herself, and her
satchel. and her umbrella and her
shawl strap-and put them all into the
proper seat in the Pullman before she
could think of declining. Only after
she was settled did it occur to her that
he was total stranger, and she had
been told to beware of obliging stran-
gers.
1t was too late then, and afterward,
with all Miss Norwoods Eastern bring
ing up, and consequent distrust of
chance acquaintance, she could not be
properly cold and distant to one who
had been of such service.
Besides. Miss Norwood felt it would
be of no use anywaY-he was so inev-
liable about it all, quite as If it was the
most natural thing in the world that he
should continue his protection. Where
fore it came about that the afternoon
of the second day out from St. Paul
found Charles Harrington seated beside
Miss Norwood under the claim of eX-
planning Western scenery to her East
ern eyes. Perhaps it was this that
made it necessary for him to look at
her eyes SO often.
This was Miss Norwoods first visit
West and she was disappointed. 1t had
had not come Up to her expectations.
The Indians had hidden their nobility
under more dirt and tatters than she
liked, and the people
why. l haven't seen anyone who
looked like a desperate yet" she said
as one who desired her money back.
