message by the vigilant police: hence
forward the tale is one TO stir the
blnod.
Tor the duty of secreeating Mr..
Williams from the purpose of diifusinG
his jag over the nei%hb0rhood. the
assignment was given TO one Police
man Buck. who went where duty beck
oned, with his pistol on his hip and
his billy in his hand, a demure figure
in a long Overcoat bent upon the pro-
lection of the innocent from the fires
that reckon not with weather.
In pursuance of this laudable ambi-
ton, Mr.. Buck perigrinated himself,
billy and pistol, TO Hicks alley, even
To the house Of Mr.. Williams. Even
into the house went Mr.. Buck to
search. bat found nothing, so that he
started away to report back TO the
warm shelter Of the station house that
there was nothing doing.
At the corner. however, some by
standers of n character which chimes
with inat OF Mr.. Buttinslly approached
Mr.. Puck with the information that
Mr. Williams was still within the
domicile from which he had removed
his family Therefore Mr.. Buck re-
traced his steps end entered into the
yard of the house of Mr. Williams and
was there making Investigation. He

the yard peercd q face that was sim

barrels of which Mr.. Buck looked with
considerable of disconcertment. Hav-
ing found his man. he did not know
what to do with him. in fact MIR.
Buck stood still.
What the klankety blank are you
doing here?" said Mr.. Williams. and
mis- tone was ominously frank.
Mr.. Buck swallowed the epithets as
4 sensible man. Il was sent here to
see what was the trouble" he is re-
ported to have replied.
Well" said the voice behind the
gun, how did you get in?"
Mr.. Buck indicated his method OF
ingress into MIR. Williams yard.
Then said Mr.. Williams, meaning
no pun, you buck right around back

At the corner store he telephoned
for re-inforcemcnts, and Mr.. Anderson,
with billy and pistol and overcoat,
was dispatched as a reserve.
Together he and Mr.. Buck made
another skirmish, but MI Williams
| had tired of the game and departed.
tBy this time his wife and daughters
| had been cared for and hopeless of
capture, the policemen returned to
the city.
There Mr.. Buck is said to have COM
planned of his treatment and desired
a warrant and 4 posse comitatus for
the arrest of Mr.. Williams, but to
have met with a lack of sympathy
both from Chief Mullins ana Captain
Thompson. Mr.. Buck had missed his
chance, and the police evidently had
determined 10 bide their time.

had been heard ana there We're those
unkind enough to guy Mr.. Buck. The
night owls flitted about him and M he
talk in this wise:
Your move said owl No. i.
Il don't want 10 move, said owl

But the question is that in the case
OF this jag tll&t has crystallized, where
is the warrant for the two fold offense

For ii is a serious thing TO buck
against the statutes in such case made
and provided. even if the servant of
the law should buck at command
The law must have Mr.. Williams, at
all ODDS.
Besides, we all want to see him.
