doing this or that; but all agreed on
one: thing, that if Kent Trevor said he
would take the mail back and forth
he would do SO, even if he had to
crawl
At length the day came when he
was to make his first trip. His ap-
pearance in the village as he called at
the post office for his mail bag was
the signal for such a shout as had not
been heard in the rather sedate vii
lage OF Senoia for many day.
Where did you get you: seven
league boots?"
when did your legs grow so
long?"
What did your mother feed you
on to make you grow so tall?"

ance. 1t really seemed as if the vii
lage had resolved itself into one
laugh, long and loud. But Kent
laughed with the rest, tossed saucy
replies to those who addressed him
and stalked on the even tenor of his
way.
He dismounted at the post office,
strapped his mail bag firmly to his
shoulders, remounted and set off at a
pace that augured we'll for the speedy
delivery of the mail at Cheney, fol,

Kent's arrival in Chetney caused
little less commotion than his de.
parture from Senoia. Judge Dent
was on hand to meet him and aftey
the delivery of the mail insisted upor
taking him home with him as hi
wanted a talk with him.
After dinner as they stood on the
shaded veranda he put his hand or
the boys shoulder and said: Kent

This is all that Flynn knew when he

HE TRIES BIT OF STRATEGY.
, (Hz1Zz0BY77EEE1UfT Flower n

When Policeman Barney Flynn ap-
preached the door of the modest lit
sle house he knew that he had one of
the hardest jobs of his life before him.
The captain wished to see Mrs. Miller.
His reasons for this desire were not
Enown to Policeman Flynn, and equal
4y unknown were his reasons for not
going in person to her house instead
of sending for her. Many are the
strange things that happen in police
station, and many are the strange mo-
fives that lie behind the strange ac-
lions. 1t might be matter Of pride
In this instance or it might be mat
ter of. Judgment There is sometimes
an advantage not to be despised in be-
ting able to select the place for an in
terview; the surroundings count for
much, and the one unfamiliar with
them is handicapped. So the captain,
presumably desiring to get certain
information supposed to be in the pos
session of this woman, had sent for
her-and she had refused to come.
This III itself was surprising, for it is
not customary to send regrets under
such circumstances. For a moment
the captain seemed on the point Of
going to the house himself, but he
Thought better of it. and sent a more
imperative message. The reply was
che same as before: She had done
nothing that put her at the beck and
call of the police, she didn't care to
see the captain, and she would not
come. Then he had sent for Flynn.
Il want to see that woman and
want to see her here" he said. "Never
mind why. l have a few things here
that I think will make the interview
more effective here than it would be
there. If she knows what I think she
knows I intend to get it out of her,
htlt-well, all you've got to do is to
get her to come with YOU
M-m-m, now, is that all?' asked
Policeman Flynn, who had heard of
the fruitless efforts of two others in
that direction.
''That's ALL" said the captain.

four.Footed Thieves.

In Winchester, England, a grocer
began to miss money from his till,
and set his wife to watch. After two
weeks the wife was not able to de-
tect the thief, though money was
stolen almost every day. There were
two clerks in the store, and the
grocer finally called them thieves
and discharged them.
When two others had taken their
places the money continued to dis
appear, and the case was given to the
police. An officer who hid under the
counter solved the problem. He
found bits OF paper representing
about $50 that the mice had made
nests of. They had entered the till
through hole in the back and taken
the bills one at time
The two clerks who had been dis
charged for dishonesty brought suit
for damages, and the other day the
grocer was compelled to pay them
$500 each.

lead a few votes, but the official
count disclosed that there were some
errors made in the unofficial figures
which altered the result materially
A mista of four votes was made
in the early returns from the town
of Barnes. Mcdonald was credited
with fifty-three votes there, when
he received but forty-nine Nc
Donald was credited With twenty
votes at Port Wing, when the cor
rect figures were II. The latter
error was made by crediting Nc
Donald with three democratic votes
cast for him in that village.
THESE reductions in McDonald's
vote brought him down to two votes
behind Seversoh. The vote is SO
close that Mr.. Mcdonald believes
that recount is advisable. and it is
said that he has already taken steps
to bring recount about.
