Hes man of polished manners,

to say your manners lack polish"

swered the girl, seeing that it was
dangerous to be too particular about
the use of words, II have been having
some trouble with the larger boys.
They lack proper discipline, and I'd
give a good deal to discover some way
to control them"
''M-m-m, now, that IS too ba-ad,"
commented Policeman Flynn, reflec-
lively. "Ye sh'u'd ave come to me be-
foor, FIR t is on thin things I'm posht-
ed. l suppose tn wa-ay Cassidy con-
throlled tn wa-ard caucus w'u'd mt do

him, an whin he'd pounded a hole in
tn table he up an let go with tn

Threw 1t at the boisterous ones?"
asked the girl.

I'm afraid the board of education
would object to such methods" said
the girl, smiling at the absurdity of the
plan.
"Mebbe So" returned Policeman
Flynn. "I've been feminist tn like me-
silf. 'Ye mustn't beat ye-er pris'ner
all up says tn capt'in. an It is a
hazard thing FIR to conthrol a ba-ad
man without PAWN MARKS on him,
but there do be wa-ays iv doin' it. Ye

"That would hardly do either" as
serted the girl.
Thin pick out tn biggest wan an
poke him in tn shtummick. 7 is not
a fair blow in regular fight, but t is
most discouragin' to tn felly that s

The girl smiled again and shook her
head
"Sta-amp on his fnt, thin,' suggested
Policeman Flynn as a last resort
IVAN good bang on tn toes IL ind all

said the girl.
"Oho! ye're too sma-art f'r to take
