When Policeman Meeks arrested
Will Tokes, a negro with half a doz'
en- aliases, on a charge OF stealing a
bicycle last Saturday, he may have
made an important capture. Certain
ly he has done so if the negro's story
be true but of this there IS some
doubt
Tokes claims that he shot white
man in Louisiana over a game OF
craps and made good his escape. He
says ne does not know for sure that
he killed his victim, but took 1t for
granted that he did so. and made
tracks from that state as rapidly as
a pair of No. IFS could carry him to-
ward Arkansas.
The police department has commu-
nicated with the Louisiana officials
for verificaticn of the negro's state
ment, and he will be held until word
can be received from them.
Tokes was arrested Saturday about
noon. A telephone message informed
Policeman Meeks that a bicycle had
been stolen from a bicycle shop on
Pine street A description of the
wheel was furnished all other shops
in the city and later in the day Tokes
made his appearance at shop on
Main street, taking the wheel there
to be repaired. It was then that G
Ger Meeks was notified. and he arriv-
ed at the scene in time to land TCkes
within the clutches of the law. Tokes
gave several different names to va
rlons parties in the city, and it is d;f-
ficnlt to learn just what his name is.

his cheek, the colonel turned and saw
the loveliest features that ever haunted
his dreams 1t was a mermaid with
sunlit eyes and soft, melting voice.
Her words fell like music on the trav-
eer's damp heart.
You seek the lost wanderers of Tam
many hall?' she queried. Il will bring
them to you" Putting a little seashell
10 her lips she began to sing and call
like a Valkyrie.
McGinty Appears
Instantly the sea was dotted with
men. They came from rocks and
caves, from cabins and forecastles of
wrecked ships. Col. Munchausen
recognized old friends once power in
New York politics. They were about
to explain how they came there when
the mermaid sounded a Wagner note
on her shell.
In the wink of an eye thousands Of
the most beautiful creatures man ever
beheld flashed on the scene and by a
nod forbade the New Workers to re-
veal any secrets OF their leaving Man
haitian. They might speak of their
present life, but they must say moth
ing Of why and how they came hither.
A tall, dreamy eyed sylph led an
athletic looking chap forward and
said "This is the late Mr.. McGinty."
Then all the mermaids and statesmen
sang the well-known song which was
echoed around the world. Down Went
McGinty to the Bottom of the sea,"
just as It was sung at the picnic when
McGinty's barge, with 800 Harlem girls.
sank in the North River.
BY this time Col. Munehausen had
recovered his presence of mind, and
was observing that but a few OF the
mermaids had the traditional fish
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-02

through his nose, using his mouth for
gills, he could swim as we'll as a shad
or porpoise. BY vanishing his throat
was no difficulty in breathing under
water. He also discovered that he could
raise and lower himself at will by a
sort of intellectual thought-expansion
and contraction-and before he had
made dozen experiments he found
himself shooting through the ocean at
incredible speed.
The Ocean Mighty Lens
The exhilarating influence of the
ocean scenery and the spectacle of the
bed of the sea shining with phosphor-
escent splendor gave him ravenous
appetite, which condensed food from
fishes, deep sea Holsters and thousand
other marine animals supplied An
other discovery was even more astoun-
ding, BY some unexplained law OF op-
tics the ocean at depth beyond three
miles became vast lens through which
the celestial spheres appeared magni-
fled for beyond the power of the largest
telescope The colonel not only saw
mountains and rivers on Mars. but
heard the throbbing Of strange mach
inery there. the lowing of cows and the
faint growing of roosters toward the
hours of dawn.
Not discovering McGinty and tho
politicians in the currents of the gulf
stream. the colonel concluded they were
somewhere under the sargasso sea.
That mysterious region is described as
vast wilderness of tranquility. the
ocean graveyard, into which everything
lost and afoat finally arrives,

IT WAS COLONEL lIUCdAUSEN WHOM NOT MAN RECOGNIZED

Then the beautiful creatures with
combing their sparkling tresses and
singing songs so sweet and plaintive
that the sea serpents, swinging from
the wrecks above, kept time to the
melody while the waves rhythmically
undulated the forests floating on the
Saragossa sea.
Mindful of big appropriation and
the importance of his mission, Colonel
Munchausen thought 1t time to hurry
on. He asked the girl he first saw to
a few questions. She yielded under his
caresses. again sounded a weird Val
kyrie strain and McGinty and his
friends came floating down the silver
tides.
ASK them If they would like to re-
turn to Manhattan" said the colonel
to the mermaids guarding them.
Indeed we would not" replied Nc
Ginty and his men. This is the only
place where we can live exclusively on
water and have good time"
AS talisman and guarantee of good
faith McGinty gave Colonel Munchau-
sen sea shell diary of his life among
the mermaids and the names Of the
men missing from the city hall. This
the colonel was to take to the alder
men, that he might substantiate the
story of his adventures and secure the
big appropriation for his unparalleled
services.
