EPISODE OF A CROOKS DAY
How Messenger Boy Was Buncoed
out Of Valuable Bundle
Worth @1oo.

From a large jewelry store
across the way presently emerged
a diminutive messenger boy, car.
rying a small, square bundle, and
turned into Broadway, relates Nc
Clure's. The man on the bench,
known to his friends as "Supple
Jim," rose unobtrusively to his
feet. The apostle of Hermes
stopped to buy a cents worth of
mucilaginous candy from the Ital-
ian on the corner, and then, whist
ling loudly, dawdled upon his way.
The man followed, maneuvering
for position, while the boy, now in
the chewing stage and struggling
violently, fingered to inspect me-
chanieal toy. The supple one ac-
complished flank movement, ap-
preached, touched him on the
shoulder, and displayed silver
badge beneath his coat.
young man, Pm from the CEN
tral Office and need your help.
About a block from here a fel-
ler will come runnin' after you and
say they've given you the wrong
bundle-see? He'll hand you
another and tell you to give him
the one you've got. He's a crook
Paddy the Sneak'-old game!
See?"
The boy was all attention, his
jaws motionless.
"Yep~ he replied, his eyes
glistening delightedly.
"Well, Pll be right behind you.
And when he throws the game
into you just pretend you fall into
it an hand him your box. Then
I'll make the collar. Are you on?"
"say, that's easyw grinned the
boy.
"ShOw US what you're good for,
then, and I'll have the inspector
send you some passes for the the
ayter."
The boy started on in business
like fashion. AS his interlocutor
had predicted, a hatless "feller"
overlook him, breathless, and en-
tered into voluble explanation.
The messenger exchanged bun
dies and then, eyes front, contin-
ued up the street until the detec-
tive should pounce upon his victim.
For some strange reason no such
event took place. At the end of
the block he cast a furtive glance
behind him. Both Paddy and the
central Office man had vanished.

What is bad for retail business is, however,
good for outdoor industry, particularly building

to regain landing, but the wind stronger
than their efforts, and it looked as If they were
doomed. For hours they foated aimlesslyi about
the bay, terror-stricken and helpless. They con-
SANITY cried for help, but no savior was near.
The fighters declare that the experience was
the most narrowing imaginable. Added to the
terror of being lost at sea, the men were har-
assed by the pangs of thirst and hunger. Many
searching parties went out to look for them,
but failed to find them They finally managed
to reach shore with the oars.
Both men confined to their beds as re-
suit Of an experience that will remain vivid in
their minds to the day of their deaths.
