CIV coorse,"" said Policeman Flynn,
and he was very thoughtful as he left
home. He wanted to ask for details,
but he deemed it wise not to do So
Mrs. Flynn is exceptionally sarcastic
when she gets the idea that she is do
ing the thinking for the family, which
has a tendency to induce the patrol
man to solve problems in his own
original way. However, there was the
| light of victory in his eyes when he
| went on duty that night. and almost
the first thing he did was to interview
Casey.
"'Tis mesilf," said Casey, that's
been wondherin' why tn la~ads come
trapsin' in tn wan door an thin 20
pilin' out tn other. There's no money
in it f'r me, an they'll not get through
this night"
Matters being thus satisfactorily Ar-
ranged, Policeman Flynn bided his
time. Never before had h. left the
dudes who congregated about the
stage entrance so entirely alone, for
he desired to gather them all in Ct
one swoop. They we're harmless fell
lows of the class who like to hover
about, making eyes at the chorus girls
and pretending to have standing
with them that they do not possess;
but, as Policeman Flynn had said,
they were Observation-Disclosures of a
kind numerous in every large city
and in this instance the stage entrance
was SO arranged that it was difficult
to keep it clear Of them.
Finally, when the assembled crowd
was large enough to suit him, the pa
trolman made his sally. Out of the
alley went the youths and in at the
front door Of Casey's saloon, with the
officer in close pursuit. This time he
knew where to go when he emerged
on the street, and he found in Casey's
back room as panic-stricken a crowd
!; as one often sees, for the alley door
was locked and exit that way was i'm
possible.
"Oho:" cried Policeman Flynn, tri-
umphantly, II ha-ave We now FIR sure!
Shtand in r-row there an let's see
what We LUX like!" One or two Of
them were inclined to rebel, but they
thought better of it when Policeman
Flynn made a movement in their di-
rection, and all lined up against the
wall. "'Tis a fine-lukkin' cr-rowd We
are, hangin' r-round here an hopin'
yell ha-ave a chanst FIR to buy pussy
caf1es an tizz Wather f'r GIRLS that
only waants We to Fave thin alone.
What'n I do with ye?" Policeman
Flynn looked them over contempt
uously. 'Tw'u'd contam'nate tn

wits end for suitable punishment,
an inspiration came to him. "Ha-and

triumphantly. livery wan ha-and thin
