men who were longer after they left the mar
from Baltimore.
Around the corner from the police station;
there was a sound of tentative tinkles as
windows were being opened along Tin Pan
Alley and the days experiments with the
latest rag time songs began. Sergt. Dave,
entering the Baltimore youths troubles
in the blotter, kept time to the music as It
foated across from the music publishers
factories.

Importantly, as he showed the sergeant a
check for 81 900. signed by his father. but
which according to the date would not be in
full bloom until June %, Sergt. Dave
said he was sorry the young man couldn't
get into a hardware store at that hour to
buy a good strong lock for himself.
In the meantime he told the Baltimorean
TO take a firm. grip on the check while a
policeman tried TO steer him toward the

The. sergeant turned again to his blotter

that were still floating across the dawn
from the alley:

Baltimore back for the third time, what's
the name of that policeman you sent with
me to take me back to the hotel? He's
robbed me of my check for 81, 900"
"F'git it," said Sergt. Dave. Take
another look. Stand on your hands and
shake Yourself and maybe i'm fall out

Later in the day the youth was flashing an
early rose check for a smaller amount
around the Victoria in an effort to have it
turned into a ticket to Baltimo'. Under the
circumstances n ger Keough thought
even the smaller check too large to cash.
The young man finally raised $40, however,
and straightway left the joys Of a great city
behind him. There have been no arrests
made.
